There's no realistically plausible solution I've ever heard of, that is, ones that don't require millions of years of setup and entire stars worth of energy production. But that's with our current understanding of physics. While our current models seem nearly perfect and therefore nearly complete, there was a time they thought that about Newtonian physics. Perhaps some detail we need to understand dark matter or dark energy could spring the whole field wide open again.

Huh? Where did you get this idea? Our physics is clearly nowhere near complete. Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity are at odds, which is why physicists have been looking for a unified theory for ages. Each one only works at certain scales, and not at the other end, so obviously something's wrong with them. The whole "dark matter" thing looks like BS too, and alternate theories like MOND don't require it. There's nothing complete at all about our understanding of physics.

I’m not sure this is the case. Basically every physicist I’ve met thinks we’re in for another general relativity and that a unified theory will be a lot different than the multitude of theories we have now
