                                  Is dark matter real? 🤔 Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) challenges the standard model by tweaking Newton's laws at very low accelerations instead of adding unseen particles.

                                  MOND successfully predicts galaxy rotation curves, the Baryonic Tully-Fisher relation, and other galactic phenomena without fine-tuning.

                                  However, it faces challenges with galaxy clusters, cosmology (like the CMB), and Solar System tests, where it still requires some form of missing mass or refinement. Relativistic versions are in development to address these issues.
