Do you have any papers (for a reading group for interested yet naive physicists) that discuss this lensing-of-gravity phenomenon? As I understand it, what you describe could be an alternative to dark matter that isn't MOND.
Since you sound well-versed in the subject -- what do you think of entropic gravity?
- jiggawatts 4y agoI don’t have hyperlinks handy, unfortunately. The other paper I’m thinking of basically stated that the full GR model could also explain most of the rotation curves. That paper was disregarded because it had a discontinuity at the rotation axis, which is non-physical. They turned out to be a side effect of a simplifying assumption and can be corrected, but by then it was too late and the dark matter people moved on…
