If a dark matter alternative ends up being an accepted theory, then RelMOND stans are gonna be beyond smug, and well rightfully so I suppose.
- MattPalmer1086 2y agoNo, the laws are the same everywhere. The timescape model just takes into account gravitational time dilation in large voids (where time passes faster). They say this can explain the observation that the universe is expanding faster (in other words, it's not, it just looks like it). Also, this is about dark energy, not dark matter
- moffkalast 2y agoAh right yeah, had them mixed up for some reason.
