That would be a modified theory of gravity.

I don't know about the idea of turbulence but modified gravity is serious science.

It is just not the preferred explanation right now. An important reason is that AFAIK, none of these theories are currently able to match the observations without the dark matter they intend to eliminate.

Especially after we spotted the bullet galaxy.

Two galaxies collide. The dust stops, the dark matter keeps going... it isn't looking good for MOND.

Attempts to modify gravity have not been too fruitful so far.
