Score one for Modified Newtonian Dynamics

No one including me said that this proves MOND is in and dark matter is out. Only that MOND is able to make predictions that with dark matter can’t. Therefore score one for MOND.

At this point both theories have both pluses and minuses. The correct answer could be one, it could be the other, it could be both and it might even be neither. We just don’t know. To the best of my knowledge most of the cosmology is still behind dark matter. But then at one point in the not too distant history most of them were behind the steady state universe too.

My only hope is that I’m still around when they figure it out.
