I once had the good fortune to be engaged to teach political science 101 at the University of Colorado in Denver. Political “science” is a misnomer. It has no objective criteria or standards like ...

Dynamic galaxy: can the rotation of the spiral galaxy NGC 1232 be explained by MOND? (Courtesy: ESO) Can modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) explain the curious behaviour of rotating galaxies? Two ...

It has been pointed out that the Newtonian second law can be tested in the very small acceleration regime by using the combined movement of the Earth and Sun around the Galactic center of mass. It has ...

We learn more about Modified Newtonian Dynamics aka MOND. What if there is no such thing as dark matter? What if our understanding of gravity is just wrong? New work is taking another shot at that ...

Modifying gravity: Pavel Kroupa and colleagues have shown that Modified Newtonian Dynamics does a good job at describing the properties of open clusters of stars. (Courtesy: Volker Lannert/University ...
