I really, really feel more people who are scientifically pragmatic and follow Cosmology need to learn about Prof. Dr. Pavel Kroupa and his views/research on Dark Matter and current research on MOND; including his own variant of it.
If you’d like to learn more about Pavel or MOND:
-
The dark matter myth | Pavel Kroupa full interview This is a great introduction, especially if you prefer video/audio.
-
A Blog he’s very involved in: The Dark Matter Crisis If you take the dive, I highly recommend starting with 82. Galaxy clusters: no problem for MOND after all?
-
Here’s a lot of ADS research papers he’s worked on.
Wiki for MOND is a little messy but I found had some good links to better information if you want to do further research in relation to MOND.
Additions to my MOND research series on [email protected]:
I am not smart enough to know whether this report has any real value, but for transparency I wanted to mention that this post received the following report:
I would like to point out that more can likely be found on the wiki page, in the response/criticism section.
I was tempted to leave out the Wiki link in my post as it has some dated information, both for and against MOND, but it’s easy enough to find so I included it; Wiki also shows variant MOND theories and related links. Moreover, my post has links to current MOND data, which better explains criticisms and concerns. Keep in mind, MOND variants are still developing, mostly outside of the USA (where I’m from), and without significant funding; unlike Dark Matter. Lastly, this isn’t a crackpot theory, can be falsified (older models have been), makes predictions (has already made and proven many up to this point). All of this and more is addressed by Prof Dr Kroupa and his colleagues in the field, as well as in the data linked from my original post. I hope this helps one and all.
