MOND’s fatal flaw is that not all galaxies have the same rotation curves. Some are almost as predicted by GR models. Others are extremely flat. If gravity was wrong, all galaxies would be equally wrong. And they’re not. There must be differences in their composition, and those compositional differences are what we call dark matter. None of the models fit all of the predictions, so we need to look for a better explanation than either DM or MOND.

@@Berend-ov8of Of course it is confusing. But these are decade-old terms used by experts in the field to discuss their progress on science. Among themselves. Scientific terms often mean something else, because of historical reasons, than what they logically would mean. You might not know this. But Dr.Hossenfelder does. It was named 'dark matter' because it was expected to be a particle soon discovered. Then it never was. And all methods like MOND that try to fudge the math to match the observations also failed. So either it is a combination of wrong measurements, together with actual dark matter we didn't discover yet, together with an MOND-like adjustment to gravity. Or it is some ground-breaking idea or concept that we haven't even thought of. But we will call it 'dark matter' until we know what it is. Now maybe scientists should have changed the term. Like 'dark gravitation' would be a great term. But that's not what happened. We need a source of gravitation to solve the dark matter problem. And a source of gravitation by definition is called 'matter'. Either every galaxy needs their own version of MOND PLUS our measurements are wrong. Or there is actually a different amount of dark gravitation, caused by matter, in every galaxy.

The fundamental phenomenon of dilation explains galaxy rotation curves. Mass that is dilated is smeared through spacetime relative to an outside observer. It's the phenomenon behind the phrase "mass becomes infinite at the speed of light". A 2 axis graph illustrates its squared nature, dilation increases at an exponential rate the closer you get to the speed of light. A time dilation graph illustrates the same phenomenon, it's not just time that gets dilated. Neil deGrasse Tyson recently spoke about this. Dilation will occur wherever there is an astronomical quantity of mass because high mass means high momentum. This includes the centers of very high mass stars and the overwhelming majority of galaxy centers. It can be inferred mathematically that the mass at the center of our own galaxy is dilated. This means that there is no valid XYZ coordinate we can attribute to it, you can't point your finger at something that is smeared through spacetime. More precisely, everywhere you point is equally valid. In other words that mass is all around us. Dilation does not occur in galaxies with low mass centers because they do not have enough mass to achieve relativistic velocities. It has been confirmed in 6 very low mass galaxies including NGC 1052-DF2 and DF4 to have no dark matter, in other words they have normal rotation rates. All binary stars have normal rotation rates for the same reason.

Something I love about learning about science is, new information changing our minds is a good thing. Anywhere else it's treated as weakness in character -- you should supposedly resist changing your mind no matter the forces against you, no matter the price, and to yield reveals a devastating character flaw. But in science, we really do just care about what the data and best models tell us, and it's all up for grabs when new high-quality information comes out. Major shakeups are not automatically trusted -- they have to be vetted -- but they're not an enemy to be defeated. Really the worst enemy of your ideas should be yourself; your data's first earnest refute attempts should come from you. IMO that's so much more healthy.

I always had a worry (maybe wrongly), that the problem is not in missing mass or that GR is wrong, but in our inability to actually solve GR field equations properly for a complex system such as a galaxy. When I say properly, I mean actually do the nonlinear partial differential field equations with all the bells, tensors and whistles for all the masses etc in the galaxy. Maybe we'll never have computers with enough memory and processing power to do it. But just wondering if by making assumptions (i.e. these terms are not important in this case, this doesn't/shouldn't influence that.. etc) and simplifying calculations to something which we can actually calculate, that we don't see the full picture. In other words, that there wouldn't be any discrepancy between observation and calculation, if we could actually do the GR as intended by field equations.

Would still be really nice if someone would just come up with an entirely different idea. Like magnetism has an effect. In that case the center of the Galaxy can be rotating slower than it should be which means it matches the outside speeds. Your curve isn't actually quite right when I was researching this a few months ago the acceleration curve actually goes up from the center and has a peak towards the center and then flattens out... But then I think there's so much light from the galactic core that it becomes hard to measure what that rotation rate actually is and why it's close to zero

Where space is less dense; time dilation in a gravity well is the same as moving at the escape velocity from that place in the well... So just like clocks moving at a high speed have cover more space than they would at slower speeds, gravity also increases the amount of space the clock has to cover in a fixed.time.

@@ShamusWoosley Yes, true :) There's also ferromagnetic properties of stars - since they often have a lot of iron in them, which allows magnetic fields to be induced in them... Electric Universe I guess would be the other place to find such information - but they are just straight out because they don't believe in large massive objects that don't emit light... so it's more a desire to see someone mainstream support such things.

@@evangonzalez2245 I don't think that's true. Either our theory of gravity, general relativity, is correct or it is not (on astronomical / cosmological length scales). These are logically exclusive possibilities, and there are only two of them. If GR is right, then we need more matter in the universe. Due to observations, it needs to be cold and dark. If GR is wrong, we need a theory interpolating between 1/r^2 and 1/r potentials assuming there is only visible matter. Of course the details, like what dark matter would be made of or how the interpolation between potentials looks like mathematically, may vary. But I don't think that's what you meant with "there are infinite options, we're just too dumb". Hence why I asked whether or not something is wrong with this logic and there is a third option, because I can't think of one.

A force behaving very differently at different scales is not new to physics. Most notably, the strong force is moddeled as electromagnetism-like (~1/r^2) at small scales but causes confinement (~r) at large scales. This is caused by the scale-dependence of the quantum theory. So what it really means is that the quantum gravity theorists can get excited about the renormalisation group flow of gravity. 😅

Thank you! I find any data challenging dark matter particularly compelling. The possibility of a cosmic web comprised of confined, interacting plasma filaments at cosmic scales, rather than dark matter, deserves further exploration. The filamentary structure observed in the cosmic web aligns remarkably well with predictions of large-scale Birkeland currents in a magnetized plasma universe. Galaxy formation within the densest regions of these currents, analogous to z-pinches, would be a fascinating avenue for investigation. Moreover, the electromagnetic forces associated with Birkeland currents could potentially account for the gravitational effects currently attributed to dark matter.

I feel some scientists have too much reverence for old theories and try to "make stuff up" in order to accommodate them. Dark matter seems one of these cases. If a theory doesn't explain well the experimental results we should modify the theory, not postulating invisible stuff up. MOND feels like a way better approach to the problem. Even if it doesn't turn out the "right" one, we should still pursue that direction. It's the same way I feel about the multiverse interpretation for QM. Basically some scientist prefer to choose some untestable pseudoscientific concept instead of accepting the idea that the theory is simply "wrong" and needs to be fixed. I honestly think it's pretty sad and unscientific.

Here's my bonker take on the subject : Dark energy and gravity are the same thing. Empty space exerts a negative pressure on anything around it. However, the presence of matter lowers the exerted pressure. The more density and proximity of matter, the lower is the exerted pressure. What we interpret as a gravitational field is a gradient of this pressure. An observer will fall onto a planet because the patches of space below him exerts less pression than the patch above him, resulting in a force directed toward the planet. On smaller scales (from the size of a stellar system to the size of a galaxy) where the average density of matter is rougly even, distance is the main factor for the strength of the effect, and mostly change according to the squarred distance. When considering larger scales, where density can vary a lot, it becomes more prevalent as pressure from the less dense regions of the galaxy increases the effect on more dense regions, which leads to an overall prediction similar to MOND's. Between cluster of galaxies, the pressure reaches a maximum value that we interpret as dark energy. Here we go, we got rid of both dark matter and dark energy in one loop. But that's not all because : When matter density reaches a treshold, empty space pressure becomes null and can't go beyond that. It basically means that gravity has a maximum value. Which means that we get rid of the singularity at the center of black holes. Matter cannot infinitively fall onto itself, if the force applied on it can reach a maximum. So, am I a genius or not ? Please do not take this seriously, I'm just having fun with some ideas -but I'm pretty sure an expert on the subject would quickly find some huge gaping holes in that rambling of mine.

Reminds me of the old 'infinite bombardment' theories for forces. From all around us, infinitely far away, someone is shooting, many tiny balls of force at us. When you are above the Earth, the balls coming from above will hit you, but the balls from below are blocked by the Earth. Therefore, you are hit by more balls from above than below, so you are pushed towards the Earth. (The Earth is slightly pushed towards you, but your 'shadow' on the Earth is much smaller than the Earths 'shadow' on you.) If you call the number of those tiny force balls in a certain volume 'pressure' (because the pressure of a gas also consists of a lot of tiny balls bouncing against the walls), you get something similar to your idea. The obvious problem with this idea is that gravity depends on mass rather than volume. That problem might affect your idea as well, depending on how the mass rejects the pressure.

@@peperoni_pepino That why I suppose that the pressure is inversely proportionnate to the density of matter. But it also takes place inside the earth -after all, there is plenty of empty space between atoms. However, as matter gets more dense, there is less space between atoms, so there is less pressure from it. Until we get to a state where matter is so dense that there is no more space anymore between atoms (or whatever exotic particles matter devolved into at such a density), and so the internal pressure from space reaches a minimum. But in a sense it's not really different from this bombardement idea, if those tiny balls were shot from empty space itself, in all directions. And the more matter there is, the less of these balls can pass through. To me the obvious problem with this idea is where does the energy of these balls come from, and what happens to the kinetic energy when they are blocked by matter. It would be a constant source of heat coming from all around space, and quite a strong one if it would be able to accelerate an object as strongly as gravity can. And we know that in empty space, objects tend to radiate heat and cool down, they don't spontaneously heat without any apparent source of external energy. That's why I prefer to see it as some kind of "flow" of space in all directions, like if each part of space was a souce of water, and matter acts like some hole where the water can flow into -the more dense it is and the steeper the slope gets. Of course behind this there's the idea that the equations of General relativity could be reused and adapted to this new interpretation. The goal here is not to reject the previous theories, but propose a new perspective that would still be consistant with what we have today.

It seems to me - being an uneducated fool - that the search for gravtrons and the dark matter/mond question is really that we don't understand how gravity works at either scales. To me, gravity seems to be an emergent property of our universe and not an actual force per se?

We don't really understand how gravity actually comes about. I.e. how is it that gravity appears when there's mass? But at least it makes sense that it dissipates with r^-2 because we live in a three dimensional space. MOND would make sense in two dimensions, but maybe it's some holographic hocus-pocus taking place. WIMP seems to be an easier explanation though.

The thing is, MOND cannot be right because of the Newtonian part. We need a better modified gravity theory based on relativity.

Relativity systems/equations are compatible with Newtonian physics (just more complex). Though I suspect both are not 100% correct but just the best we got currently for relativistic and non-relativistic scenarios. Neither does a good job addressing quantum physics though. There is no perfect model for the physics of our reality and we're ever improving what we got (or trying to at least).

It cannot be right because it's not quantum too, but the point is whether it gives better predictions than newtonian mechanics + dark matter with fewer free parameters

Those aminations of rotating galaxies makes it look like space itself is rotating with the galaxy. Kind of like a whirlpool where the mass of the galaxy drags space with it's rotation.

Don't know why, but I like to see dark matter hypothesis to win over MOND. May be because it opens up a new world of unknowns. If MOND is true, then its puts us back in to boring old world.

How can gravity decrease by r^-1 when we live in a three dimensional space and not 2? MOND would probably have greater consequences to our understanding of space and time.

I said long ago that the dark matter theory is just a placeholder for the lack of understanding of gravity. If MOND is true is sure arguable, but it is certain that dark matter is a made up construct. It's literally magical in its properties as it just happens to interact with gravitation while being intangible and miraculously being everywhere where actual mass is, and in a pattern that conforms 100% to mass. Is there just one case of a galaxy which has a different star distribution that goes counter to how its stars are distributed, confirming the existence of dark matter? No. So either dark matter is everywhere where it happens to be *required*, or it doesn't exist and the solution is so simple: We don't understand gravity on a galactic scale yet, but once we figure out the pattern, it applies to everything in the universe consistently.

Dark matter isn’t exactly magically. It’s hypothesized that black holes cannot hawking decay past 1 Planck mass, and that dark matter is just gazillions of these little 1 Planck mass black holes floating around

' It's literally magical in its properties as it just happens to interact with gravitation while being intangible' That's not magical, neutrinos also do that. 'So either dark matter is everywhere where it happens to be *required*, ' Well yeah, that's one of the reasons people believe it's matter. The laws of physics are meant to be universal, but there's nothing stopping matter from being more common in one place than another.

It's also fascinating how it's all so determinant of the structure of galaxies (or even higher level structures) by being most of the existing mass while being invisible. > but there's nothing stopping matter from being more common in one place than another. Sure, but that doesn't relate to dark matter. Because it presumably always exists in the exact quantity required in the exact position required to make sense for the shape of galaxies. Oh and it has zero effect on solar systems, even though its relevancy is oh-so impactful. And there is never a discrepancy of what we observe and how dark matter interferes with what should be. When we look to other solar systems, dark matter has zero relevancy. It's the boogeyman which is to blame why the oh-so perfect knowledge of physics isn't working out.
