I wondered if MOND is still considered a possible alternative to cold dark matter?
See section titled "Alternatives to dark matter"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_rotation_curveOne other question: when I play the galaxy rotation video it appears to me almost as if the arms are gravitationally bound structures held together like chains. Also matter from beyond the galaxy is falling into the galaxy arms at high velocity keeping their rotational velocity high. Is there any possibility this is actually taking place or is this just an illusion on my part (most likely)?
