Reading for dark matter versus modified gravity

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the challenge of finding accessible resources for understanding the debate between dark matter and modified gravity theories. It highlights the lack of layperson-friendly textbooks, as most relevant literature is aimed at researchers and assumes familiarity with complex concepts. A suggested resource is a blog post from 2012 that features a dialogue among scientists discussing these theories, though it may still be too advanced for those without a background in the field. The conversation acknowledges that while the scientific discourse has evolved, the fundamental issues remain similar.

Does anyone have any good laypersons reads to get a good summary the dark matter versus modified gravity?
Thanks

You will not find a textbook on this. The discussion is going on in the scientific literature. Which, as you know, is not written for laypeople.

Thread 'Complex analysis or calculus?'

Im currently reading mathematics for physicists by Philippe Dennery and André Krzywicki, and I’m understanding most concepts however I think it would be better for me to get a book on complex analysis or calculus to better understand it so I’m not left looking at an equation for an hour trying to figure out what it means. So here comes the split, do I get a complex analysis book? Or a calculus book? I might be able to Borrow a calculus textbook from my math teacher study that for a bit and...
