Reconciling these two distinct aspects of dark matter in a single theoretical formalism is an important challenge which could lead to some new physics in action at astronomical scales.6 pages, to appear in l'Astronomie (in French)Cosmology and Nongalactic AstrophysicsGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyModified gravity or modified matter ?text
