Predictions and Outcomes for the Dynamics of Rotating Galaxies
A review is given of <i>a priori</i> predictions made for the dynamics of rotating galaxies. One theory—MOND—has had many predictions corroborated by subsequent observations. While it is sometimes possible to offer post hoc explanations for these observations in terms of dark matter, it...

| description | A review is given of <i>a priori</i> predictions made for the dynamics of rotating galaxies. One theory—MOND—has had many predictions corroborated by subsequent observations. While it is sometimes possible to offer post hoc explanations for these observations in terms of dark matter, it is seldom possible to use dark matter to <i>predict</i> the same phenomena. |
