From the article
> In their work, Fraternali and his colleagues tested a leading contender among dark matter alternatives, called MOND, for Modified Newtonian Dynamics, which involves tweaking Isaac Newton’s law of gravity. First proposed by Israeli physicist Mordehai Milgrom in the 1980s, MOND hypothesizes that standard gravitational physics, which accurately explains the motions of objects with high gravitational accelerations, like planets in our solar system, might not apply the same way to slowly orbiting stars at the edge of a galaxy’s disc. So the discrepancy between the expected velocities of the stars in galaxies and how fast they appear to be moving may not indicate missing mass, but rather a math error, if the MOND gravitational law is right. But while the MOND model fares well with more normal galaxies, it too couldn’t explain the rotation of Fraternali’s team’s fluffy galaxy. It fared just as poorly as dark matter models do.
Maybe try reading before calling others stupid
