Newton’s Theory of Gravity explains most large-scale events fairly well. ... However, the theory is not foolproof. Einstein’s theories of general and special relativity, for example, explained data that Newton’s theory couldn’t. Scientists still use Newton’s theory because it works in the overwhelming majority of cases and has much simpler equations.
Dark matter was proposed as a way to reconcile Newtonian physics with the data. But what if, instead of reconciliation, a modified theory is needed.... Mordehai Milgrom...developed a theory of gravity (called Modified Newtonian Dynamics or “Mond” for short) in 1982 that postulates gravity functions differently when it becomes very weak, such as at the edge of disk galaxies.
His theory does not simply explain the behaviors of galaxies; it predicts them. The problem with theories is that they can explain just about anything. ...One way to separate good theories from bad ones is to see which theory makes better predictions.
Recent analysis of Mond shows that it makes significantly better predictions than standard dark matter models. What that means is that, while dark matter can explain the behavior of galaxies quite well, it has little predictive power and is, at least on this front, an inferior theory.
Only more data and debate will be able to settle the score on dark matter and Mond. However, Mond coming to be accepted as the best explanation would shatter decades of scientific consensus and make one of the more mysterious features of the universe much more normal. A modified theory may not be as sexy as dark, unseen forces, but it may just have the advantage of being better science.

Me: Why doesn’t all the atmosphere fall to the earth’s surface?
You: The density of the surface is greater then the atmosphere.
Why doesn’t all the atmosphere fall to the earth’s surface?
“I think it’s saying nuclear fusion creates streams of hydrogen and by magic that makes hydrogen more dense in those streams?”
(Exit, stage left, ROTFL!
I will make a fortune selling “Dark Matter Lives” signs to gullible suburbanites.
Most of the earth’s surface is not solid., Why doesn’t our atmosphere sink to the solid floor of the ocean?
“The sun isn’t a solid ... “
You flatly stated it was a solid
Your article refers to the photoshere which has a temperature of almost 10,000 degrees F. No solid exists at that temperature.
The sun is a marble. If I hold my thumb up I can cover up the sun, same with a marble on the ground.
q.e.d.
” In my mind which doesn’t think like yours. It’s a solid liquefied by heat.”
The mantel has not been liquified!
You are a marble. If I hold my thumb up I can cover up your image same with a marble on the ground.
Incorrect.
NASA probed MYSTERY material that can survive 10,000-degree heat and 75 NUCLEAR BLASTS
No, YOU'RE a marble.
Yes. Mercury’s orbit makes sense now... Still unclear what the heck “non-linear” spacetime is supposed to be, Professor BaffleThemWithBS. ;o)
It does. Every second of every day, the atmosphere is falling to the earth, because of gravity. That gravity may be overcome by other forces, such as other air currents, or corilous motion, or even electrical charges... but make no mistake, it is falling.
ROTFLMAO! British hairdresser CLAIMS ...
Actually, if I am not mistaken, non-neutron, non-black-hole stars are generally made up of the fourth form of matter: Plasma.
“hat gravity may be overcome by other forces, such as other air currents, or corilous motion, or even electrical charges...”
You just falsified your original argument.
