Jack Blandiver	BS: One for the astrophysicist (185* d)	RE: BS: One for the astrophysicist	30 Jul 15
Scientific theory is informed & peer reviewed conjecture; as long as theory holds, then fine but once it is overturned, out it goes. Take Dark Matter, of which it is believed 96% of the cosmos must be composed because, according to Newtonian Dynamics, it wouldn't work otherwise. No one has ever seen Dark Matter; it's existence is purely mathematical. I was reading the other day about MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics) as postulated by Modehai Milgrom which could reproduce the rotation of galaxies without dark matter. ESA are taking this seriously enough to launch a probe this autumn to put MOND to the test... For more see WIKI : Modified Newtonian dynamics Bold type lifted from BBC Focus magazine 284, August 2015 p.82
