Reading for dark matter versus modified gravity

AI Thread 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.

TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
