I Does the external field effect prove MOND over dark matter?

Click For Summary
The paper "Testing the Strong Equivalence Principle: Detection of the External Field Effect in Rotationally Supported Galaxies" presents a 4 sigma detection suggesting that dark matter models fail to account for certain observations. The study focuses on 153 galaxies, raising questions about the implications for Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) if the findings are validated. The discussion centers on whether these results could favor MOND over dark matter theories. The potential significance of the external field effect in understanding galaxy dynamics is emphasized. If confirmed, these results could challenge existing dark matter paradigms.

Testing the Strong Equivalence Principle: Detection of the External Field Effect in Rotationally Supported Galaxies

Kyu-Hyun Chae1

, Federico Lelli2, Harry Desmond3, Stacy S. McGaugh4, Pengfei Li4, and James M. Schombert5 Published 2020 November 20 claims a 4 sigma detection, and that dark matter cannot reproduce this.

i understand this is only 153 galaxies and not 153 million galaxies, but if the results hold up, does this mean MOND?

Thread 'Population 3 star (Pop III) candidate LAP1'

"Pop III stars are thought to be composed entirely of helium and hydrogen with trace amounts of lithium, the ingredients left over after the Big Bang. They formed early on, around 200 million years after the universe began. These stars are extremely rare because they died out long ago, although scientists have hoped that the faint light from these distant, ancient objects would be detectable. Previous Population III candidates have been ruled out because they didn't meet the three main...
