The same goes for MoND, which as you observe on the Forbes site, has its own shortcomings. I sense, as with the cosmological constant Λ , which Einstein used as a stub to make his equations work, saying it was his greatest blunder – it wasn’t, of course – the equations will get better as the observations improve. But Dark Matter just isn’t explanatory. MoND serves just as well and it’s simpler. Or so says this non-astronomer civilian type….
