- greglindahl 10y agoIf you read the Wikipedia article, it points out what MOND advocates say about the Bullet Cluster: they try to handwave it away. It's likely that Verlinde's theory needs a similar solution. Unfortunately for handwaving, over time, the number of weird dark-matter-related observations is growing.
- empath75 10y agoI think the study that this article is about looks at lensing data in particular which should explain the bullet cluster, as well, no?
