Default Do dwarf galaxies favour MOND over Dark Matter? (Forwarded)

Do dwarf galaxies favour MOND over Dark Matter?

A detailed analysis of eight dwarf galaxies that orbit the Milky Way
indicates that their orbital behaviour can be explained more accurately
with Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) than by the rival, but more widely
accepted, theory of dark matter. The results will be presented by Garry
Angus, of the University of St Andrews, at the RAS National Astronomy
Meeting in Belfast on Wednesday 2nd April.


It seems to me that the University of St. Andrews are a bunch of rabble
rousers and malcontents for Dark Matter. :-)

First, one of their staff, Dr. HongSheng Zhao, throws an alternative
theory to Dark Matter and Dark Energy called Dark Fluid, which
completely explains away the behaviour we see out of galaxies and
galactic clusters without using Dark Matter.

And now showing MOND to be a stronger theory than Dark Matter as well?
Will their heresy never end? :-)
