No, they are still not the same. If I understand you correctly, you are saying that Dark Matter would correspond to Gravitons. But that would just prove my point, because Gravitons is just a hypothetical explanation of gravity, in the same way as Dark matter is a hypothetical explanation of, e.g., the rotation profiles of galaxies.
(And here we have so far left out that the only reason Dark matter makes sense is because we are trying to not have to modify our current understanding of gravity.)
- astrange 5y agoWell, one reason dark matter is winning over modified gravity theories is that there seem to be some galaxies that don't have dark matter. So MOND needs more special pleading there, unless the observations are wrong.
- Ma8ee 5y agoThe only thing I was arguing was that Gravity has a much more solid basis than Dark Matter. I certainly don't think I made it sound like I think MOND is more likely than Dark Matter (even though I confess that I still think the issue is far from settled).
