The discussion centers on the verification of a prediction made by Professor McGaugh related to Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). Participants express disappointment that the Science Daily report fails to acknowledge that similar MOND-based predictions were made prior to McGaugh's blog post. This oversight raises concerns about proper attribution in scientific reporting. The conversation highlights the importance of recognizing foundational work in scientific advancements. Overall, the verification of McGaugh's prediction is significant, but the lack of credit to earlier contributors is a notable issue.

As Prof McGaugh detailed, that MOND-based prediction was made by others many years earlier than his blogpost. It's sad (even perhaps disgraceful) that the Science Daily report neglects to even mention that.

Thread 'Questioning the timescape model'

"Supernovae evidence for foundational change to cosmological models" https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.15143 The paper claims: We compare the standard homogeneous cosmological model, i.e., spatially flat ΛCDM, and the timescape cosmology which invokes backreaction of inhomogeneities. Timescape, while statistically homogeneous and isotropic, departs from average Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker evolution, and replaces dark energy by kinetic gravitational energy and its gradients, in explaining...
