Dark Matter vs Modified Gravity: Uncovering New Theories

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the ongoing debate between Dark Matter and Modified Gravity theories, specifically focusing on TeVeS and MOG (Modified Gravity) proposed by John Moffat. While Dark Matter remains the predominant theory, alternatives like TeVeS face significant criticisms, including issues highlighted by Seifer in his paper. MOG is presented as a viable alternative that does not rely on Dark Matter, suggesting a paradigm shift in understanding gravitational phenomena.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Modified Gravity theories, specifically TeVeS and MOG.
  • Familiarity with the criticisms of alternative gravitational theories.
  • Knowledge of key figures in the field, such as John Moffat and Seifer.
  • Basic comprehension of gravitational physics and cosmology.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the TeVeS theory and its implications for cosmology.
  • Examine John Moffat's MOG theory and its critiques.
  • Read Seifer's paper on the limitations of TeVeS available on arXiv.
  • Explore the Miami 2015 conference presentations by John Moffat for insights on Modified Gravity.
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, and researchers interested in gravitational theories, cosmology, and the ongoing debate surrounding Dark Matter and its alternatives.

Dark Matter was never found, what Modified Gravity theories should we check now?

What you think about MOG Modified Gravity theory from John Moffat?
he don't need the Dark Matter proposal that may be same like ether, non-exixting

Your link didn't work for me. (Probably better to post a link to arxiv rather than post the PDF directly)

To my understanding, John Moffat 's MOG is an example of the TeVeS theories that @pervect mentioned above.
