It amazes me that all the basic issues are already present. Have we really made no progress in 3 decades?
Apparently not in attitudes: the first reaction is always that it is premature to consider alternatives
to dark matter, and since dark matter is not falsifiable, that attitude persists indefinitely.

Of course, there is a perfectly natural
explanation for it all.
Adapted from Bloom County, © Berke Breathed
My original pages (predating this attempt to better organize these things)
can be found behind this humorous interface.
I suppose this would be called a blog these days, but no such term existed
when I started these pages. Looking back over these older pages
I hope my flame level has decreased in proportion to the increasing willingness
of people to at least contemplate these fundamental issues. But then, I only
waste time on HTML when motivated by some egregiously erroneous misconception
(many of which remain rampant in the scientific community),
so there is a mood selection effect. I do understand why
many have been quick to dismiss MOND without serious thought. I used to be this
way myself. I've heard many very silly things said about it by otherwise
intelligent people. It is always a struggle to see something from a new
perspective:
"The so-called `electromagnetic theory of light' has not helped us
hitherto... it seems to me that it is a rather backwards step."
- Lord Kelvin, in 1903, on Maxwell's Theory of Electromagnetism
(as attributed by John A. Wheeler).

Of course, most people have completely different cosmologies. |
