Dark Matter and Modified Newtonian Dynamics
Gravity is the only force in physics that affects matter on humongously large scales however it can't, on its own, explain certain astronomical observations.
There are two options that we could forego with: unseen dark matter - that provides for the missing gravity, or to ...
