"At that strength, says Overduin, we would expect to see
gravitomagnetic effects
throughout the cosmos."
True, and I think we do. Maybe not at superconducting magnitudes
though. I think it's a little premature to be expecting that too.
Perhaps that's force that affects galaxies giving rise to the
"necessity" for
dark matter?
I think gravimagnetics plays a role, but also think forms of matter
are the principle cause of dark energy and dark matter. See: Robert
Foot, 2002, Shadowlands: Quest for Mirror Matter in the Universe,
Universal Publishers, ISBN 158112645X and the Wikipedia article on
Mirror Matter:

"To make the graviton massive would limit the distance it can
travel, and since
all astronomical observations suggest that gravity travels the
entire breadth of
the universe, there is a big conflict to resolve."
The graviton of course can not carry mass. There could be no black
holes!
Does this mean that neutrinos have a problem traversing the universe?
I don't know what the author thinks, but I seriously doubt it.
