MOND

I'm sure some of you have heard of Mordehai Milgrom's MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics). If not heres a defintion of what it is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOND . I was curious if anyone considered this to be a better explanation for galaxy behavior than dark matter. Plus, should we modify these theories even though they are the very basis of our understanding of the universe. I for one think so, I think we shouldn't be scared to step on the toes of Newton and Einstein if it leads to a better/more accurate understanding of the universe. Even though these men were the fathers of modern physics and relativity, they ultimately didn't have as an accurate understanding of the universe as we do now (although I will admit ours is still severly lacking to this day). I think fresh ideas and theories will help us along at a more steady pace.

I hope they cannot see
the limitless potential
living inside of me
to murder everything.
I hope they cannot see
I am the great destroyer.
