As a part of my growing series researching MOND and the professionals propagating their research with and around it, I'd like to introduce Prof. Stacy McGaugh - down below are associated links to him, his work both in ΛCDM and MOND.

Note: the profile and descriptions posted here (not linked) are made by me, not him - links to his research and lectures down below.

  • Most cosmologists/astrophysicists study apposing theories for various reasons but Stacy was very invested in ΛCDM in his early career. But as observational research went forth in the field he found the ΛCDM predictions difficult to fit and needed evermore fine tuning, while the MOND hypothesis fit much of the observed data right out of the gate. While Stacy admits that MOND can't account for all observable data, yet, MOND's research funding is drops in a bucket compared to ΛCDM. I invite you to be pragmatic and open minded about MOND, and reflect about how much fine-tuning is necessary for Dark Matter to fit data.
