You don't comprehend the magnitude of "just fixing the equations".
As other commenters said, physics has a history of "adding unobservable objects", and then finding a way to observe them.
- mitchty 10y agoWe already observe it via its gravitational effects on galaxies. Additionally, good luck getting "fixed equations" to agree with the reams of data.
- jack9 10y agoIsn't that what MOND is doing, to some degree?
- mitchty 10y agoFrom what I have looked into, it breaks down with observed things on the fringes, aka black holes and supercluster type stuff. This is the "silver bullet" if you will for a lot of these theories: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_Cluster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_Cluster It would be great if "just" modifying the equations works. But it has an uphill climb against observed data.
