GR and cosmology: dark matter
Density fluctuations in baryons are ~10^-5 at ~100 Mpc/h at z~1100
Density fluctuations today are ~0.1 at 100 Mpc/h
If only baryons and photons exist, density fluctuationstoday <10^-2. Even worse at smaller scales
So dark matter must exist, whose rms fluctuation must be orders of magnitude larger than that in baryons at CMB epoch!

The story of the Vulcan planetNewtonian gravity predicts the Mercury orbit to be closed (if Sun+Mercury only)
Observations found that the Mercury orbit is not closed and the perihelion procession is 43 arcsec/century
Theory conflicts with observation→New mass? Flaw in Newtonian gravity?Le Verrier (the one predicted Neptune) postulated the planet VulcanWe now know Vulcan does not exist and instead, Newtonian gravity goes wrong
