Abstract
It has been shown by Brownstein and Moffet that a significant amount of dark matter is missing in the Bullet Cluster 1E0657-558. While this discrepancy can be resolved via a modified gravitational theory, if the dark-matter hypothesis is to be retained, then the possible existence of a wormhole may be the preferred explanation.
