Thanks for chiming in to clarify! I'm unsure the differences between "same reference frame" vs. "can't reproduce the required conditions" - ie Isn't it that in

  > I'm unsure the differences between "same reference frame" vs. "can't reproduce the required conditions" "Same reference frame" is just an abstraction (and quite often a meaningless one--according to the proper concept of "reference frame" in physics, there is no such thing as being "in" one reference frame but not another). "Can't reproduce the required conditions" is a straightforward statement about the limitations of what we can do with our current technology. > Isn't it that in order to reproduce the very low accelerations we can't be in our current location with its high accelerations? According to MOND, yes, in order to test it we would have to set up a lab out in deep space (i.e., not near any planet or star) far enough away from the center of our galaxy that the sum of all the "accelerations due to gravity" from all sources was less than the MOND threshold. Which of course is well beyond our current technical capability. But none of that has anything to do with "reference frames".
