    Default Dark Matter

    Look at the latest theories of dark matter, things are changing
    There is a fine line between "Hobby" and "Madness"

    Thanks Sabine, I already use NordVPN but could you or anybody else please explain to us what is "Modified Gravity" ?

    There in not even a Wiki page.

    Edit:
    OK, I cranked a bit harder, maybe she is talking about something like this MOND theory:



    So what we have here is either:
    - Invent something we cant see
    or
    - Change the laws of physics

    to make the pieces fit but both won't work universally without each other.

    There must be something better.

    You have hit the nail right on the head, it's a theory (guess). Exactly how theories have always been.

    I thought we had moved on from dark matter to black liers matter ????

    ...other that it seems to be everywhere these days.

    You can't call it "dark" matter any more, you might offend someone. You'd be better off calling it "absence of light matter"
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    Not much to add here other than Dark matter currently has two components which are more than likely a fuzzy view of finer detail.

    The first we already know about, Neutrinos which make up a small fraction of dark matter. It was hoped that they might explain a large portion of it, but from the evidence at hand this has not been the case. But they still are a small fraction of what makes up dark matter in the general sense.
    The evidence for what we don't understand is pointing to a collisionless particle with a mass of about 4GeV. About the same mass as an alpha particle.
    It could also be that dark matter is a range of such particles and the mean is 4GeV. That's where the smart money is at the moment.

    Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) hasn't been taken too seriously because any new explanation of gravity also has to include Newtonian and Einsteinian Physics.
    It's easy to say gravity changes over large distances, but that extraordinary claim requires extraordinary proof and there isn't much of that forthcoming.
    But while MOND is still a bit of a fringe theory nobody is turning their back on it. Sometimes whacky ideas have ability to sneak up on you.
    Yes I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.
