Health Map is a really wonderful, user-friendly,…
Is it evil to sell MOND over Dark Matter?
Earlier this week, I wrote about an article that appeared in Nature, New Scientist and other places. The article -- and especially the popular writeups -- talked about a problem with dark matter and how MOND (MOdified Newtonian Dynamics) solves those problems. And I'm livid about it.
