What is time? What is gravity? What gives "things" mass?

All interesting questions...it's apparent that our understanding of these concepts is incomplete at best....particularly what is mass? The mass that we can "see" does not fulfill the mass required to make the observable universe move in the way we predict it should. So where is the "extra mass" required to make the system move in the predicted way? The "plug" in the equations for now is dark matter....but no one can prove it even exists...they only infer that it must exist for the existing framework to be correct. What happens if something is discovered in either the LHC or it's successor that proves the existing framework is wrong?
