> the fudge-factor physicists call Dark Matter/Energy Those are two very different fudge factors (as in, those hypotheses are distinct; the observations they attempt to explain may turn out to have a single cause instead, but we don't yet know) > Would be nice to see it destroyed If you don't like fudge-factors, then you probably won't like MOND (the sort of hypothesis TFA is about). Edit: MOND theories put a fudge-factor "a₀" in their acceleration calculation; the value of a₀ is chosen such that (a) it is small enough to make no measurable difference from standard gravity in any existing observations; and (b) it can curve-fit observations of charged matter distribution to galactic rotation curves.
