SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) as an alternative to Dark Matter (DM) theories. It proposes a hypothesis that the strength of gravity may vary with density, being weaker than predicted by General Relativity (GR) at low densities and aligning with GR predictions at higher densities. This concept challenges traditional views on gravitational force and invites further exploration of gravitational behavior under varying density conditions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND)
  • Familiarity with General Relativity (GR)
  • Basic knowledge of gravitational force and density relationships
  • Concepts of independent research methodologies in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the implications of density variations on gravitational strength
  • Research existing theories that challenge MOND and DM
  • Investigate independent research submission processes in theoretical physics
  • Study the mathematical formulations of gravitational force in low-density environments
USEFUL FOR

The discussion is beneficial for physicists, cosmologists, and researchers interested in alternative theories of gravity and the nature of dark matter.

MOND has been one alternative to DM.

It is based on modifying acceleration of F=MA.

As another alternative, could the strength of the force of gravity be much weaker than expected or predicted by GR when density is low, and as strong as expected by GR when density is above a threshold?

Who knows?

Have you a pet theory you wish to submit to "Independent Research"?
