    Dynamics Newtonian
AI Thread Summary
Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) is discussed as an alternative to dark matter, with conflicting experimental results from two teams. The lack of comparison between these experiments raises questions about their methodologies. While MOND has not been entirely discredited, it is generally viewed unfavorably due to its limitations. Dark matter remains the more favored theory, despite the absence of observed dark matter particles. There is speculation that if dark matter is not detected within the next few years, existing theories may need to be reconsidered.

Hello Everbody
In Sci Shows newest video they take about alternates to Dark Matter and one of these is Modified Newtonian dynamicse. The guy states that there were two teams one proved that it existed and the other did the the opposite.
My question is why they can't and didn't compare there experiments?. There must be a difference in their experiments.
Thanks for any answers

I haven't watched the video but here's my take on the issue: MOND is generally not in favor, as there are too many things it doesn't handle, but it has not been totally discredited. Dark Matter is more in favor but it too is not a sure thing. Dark matter particles have never been observed, but not for lack of trying.

how many years do you believe until we might find them? I heard Sean Carrol talking to Joe Rogan saying if we don't find it within the next 2-3 years we might have to question our theories? Is that actually the case?

That's all beyond my knowledge

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...
