Dark Matter or Modified Gravity? Rethinking the Universe

from Cosmos in a Pod

🌌 In this episode of Cosmos in a Pod, we tackle one of the most profound debates in modern cosmology: does dark matter truly exist, or is our understanding of gravity fundamentally flawed? Join host Amitesh as we unravel the history, evidence, and groundbreaking challenges to the dark matter hypothesis. 🚀 Key Topics Covered: The Origins of Dark Matter: How Fritz Zwicky and Vera Rubin shaped our understanding of the cosmos. The Case for Dark Matter: From galaxy rotation curves to the cosmic web and gravitational lensing. Challenging the Paradigm: Why recent studies of galaxy rotation curves favour MOND over dark matter. Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND): A revolutionary idea reshaping our understanding of gravity. What’s Next: How future observations from the Vera Rubin Observatory and new theories could redefine cosmology. ✨ Explore how the universe continues to surprise and challenge us, offering a glimpse into the evolving nature of scientific discovery. 🎧 Listen now: https://rss.com/podcasts/cosmos-in-a-pod/ Hashtags: #DarkMatter #ModifiedGravity #MOND #CosmosInAPod #Astrophysics #CosmicMysteries
