This has actually been theorized for quite some time. IIRC some scientists 
were holding on to the idea that there may be enough dark matter in the 
universe to account for the difference in mass needed to bring everything 
back together.

What confuses me about this article is that they seem (or claim) to know 
just how much dark matter there is in the universe - I'm not sure how 
they're coming up with those numbers.
