Series Expansion Newton Dark Matter

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for a series expansion of Newton's law to explain discrepancies in star rotation around galaxies, which contradicts Newtonian predictions. The user seeks reliable experimental data and acknowledges the complexity of the topic, moving away from a simplistic interpretation like MOND. They express a desire for measured values and uncertainties related to dark matter observations. Ultimately, the user realizes that the geometry of galaxies complicates the application of a straightforward 1/r^2 rule. The thread concludes with the user finding additional material and wishing to retract their initial request.

Hi,

I hope you can help me. I am a physicist but not a researcher and have currently not the time to study many papers about the subject of dark matter. What I would need for deeper thoughts is an expansion in a series of the Newton law for cases where it has been measured that star rotation around a galaxy is in contrast to Newton.

Meaning: There should be something like

F ≈ 1/r^2 + a/r^3 + ...

I understand fully that the answer can't be that simple but please provide me with some information about the measured values and the uncertaincy in those measurements. Thanks a lot in advance.

PS, I edit this post: It ist not that I want to push a simple MOND hypothesis, I need reliable experimental data. Thanks a lot.

I would like to remove this thread. I did not see the geometry of the galaxies. It is something not to be described in such an easy way. A 1/r^2 rule is only given for a point like mass center. I found out some material, sorry.

Asteroid, Data - 1.2% risk of an impact on December 22, 2032. The estimated diameter is 55 m and an impact would likely release an energy of 8 megatons of TNT equivalent, although these numbers have a large uncertainty - it could also be 1 or 100 megatons. Currently the object has level 3 on the Torino scale, the second-highest ever (after Apophis) and only the third object to exceed level 1. Most likely it will miss, and if it hits then most likely it'll hit an ocean and be harmless, but...
