My comment was specifically about those alternative "dark stars" hypothesis. Is there one with a formation scenario?

The difference is that we have theorerically sound formation scenarious for black holes under very broad conditions, and we have absolutely no model for a formation scenario of such an exotic dark star.

Very interesting to know, thanks. Let me then ask: if getting a tourist visa is simpler, is there any problem in asking for a tourist visa even if your intention is attending a conference?

There is no misconception. The only class of theories that I'm aware of that have MOND as their non-relativistic limit are TeVeS, and these have been ruled out by experiments. If you have something else in mind, please provide a paper

You started this discussion saying "LIGO, VIRGO, and NANOGrav experiments and observations proved that speed of light in vacuum is NOT constant". This is completely absurd, as anyone who works in the field will tell you. I never s

The problem in this discussion is that you don't have an understanding of the concepts involved. You haven't properly understood the LIGO experiments and you clearly know nothing of general relativity. There really is no point in

The LIGO/VIRGO experiments proved no such thing. You seem to have a fundamentally flawed understanding of these experiments. That the speed of light is constant in vacuum is one of the fundamental assumptions of general relativity. The

TeVeS theories have many problems. Among others, they have been ruled out by observational data [1,2]. [1] https://journals.aps.org/prx/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevX.11.041050 [2] https://arxiv.org/abs

I never mentioned dark matter. My only point is that any modern gravitational theory needs to do at least as well as general relativity. That means (among others): explaining the precession or Mercury; describe black holes; predict gravitat

Fluid dynamics is not a fundamental theory, but an effective model, as you said. The point here is that MOND can't explain something that GR has been able to explain for 100 years (precession of Mercury). So any serious gravitational t

Exactly. And the well-posed gravitational theory that has MOND as a limit has not yet been found. So why is MOND considered as anything but an effective model?
