Modified Newtonian Dynamics and its Implications
نویسنده
چکیده
Milgrom has proposed that the appearance of discrepancies between the Newtonian dynamical mass and the directly observable mass in astronomical systems could be due to a breakdown of Newtonian dynamics in the limit of low accelerations rather than the presence of unseen matter. Milgrom’s hypothesis, modified Newtonian dynamics or MOND , has been remarkably successful in explaining systematic properties of spiral and elliptical galaxies and predicting in detail the observed rotation curves of spiral galaxies with only one additional parameter– a critical acceleration which is on the order of the cosmologically interesting value of cHo. Here I review the empirical successes of this idea and discuss its possible extention to cosmology and structure formation.

Modified Newtonian Dynamics of Large Scale Structure
We examine the implications of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) on the large scale structure in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe. We employ a “Jeans swindle” to write a MOND-type relationship between the fluctuations in the density and the gravitational force, g. In linear Newtonian theory, |g| decreases with time and eventually becomes < g0 , the threshold below which MOND is dominant. ...
متن کاملOn Dual Phase-Space Relativity, the Machian Principle and Modified Newtonian Dynamics
We investigate the consequences of the Mach’s principle of inertia within the context of the Dual Phase Space Relativity which is compatible with the Eddington-Dirac large numbers coincidences and may provide with a physical reason behind the observed anomalous Pioneer acceleration and a solution to the riddle of the cosmological constant problem. The cosmological implications of Non-Archimedea...

متن کاملModified Newtonian Dynamics and Induced gravity
Modified Newtonian dynamics, a successful alternative to the cosmic dark matter model, proposes that gravitational field deviates from the Newtonian law when the field strength g is weaker than a critical value g0. We will show that the dynamics of MOND can be derived from an induced gravity model. New dynamics is shown to be compatible with the spatial deformation of scalar fields coupled to t...
متن کاملModified Newtonian Dynamics as an extra dimensional effect
Modified Newtonian dynamics can be considered as an effect derived from a squeezable extra dimension space. The third law of Newtonian dynamics can be managed to remain valid in the 5-space. The critical acceleration parameter a0 appears naturally as the bulk acceleration that has to do with the expanding universe in this setup. A simple toy model is presented in this Letter to show that consis...
