Does this person deserve an article. If he does, why isn't the information *why* he deserves an article in the article?--Hemanshu 10:38, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * This is a late response, but to pre-empt any attempt at deletion: He developed MOND, a hypothesis which has survived 20 years in a constantly-evolving field. At least 200 publications have focused on this hypothesis.  If the hypothesis becomes a theory, his name will have a place in textbooks.  Why *doesn't* he deserve an article? 129.12.228.161 10:51, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Hemanshu, btw the best way in the future to deal with problems like this is to add a tag at the top of the page.  Jon513 11:10, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I happen to come across this page by accident and wanted to correct the layout. I don't really know why it is here. Yakovsh 04:18, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)


 * See Modified Newtonian Dynamics or MOND. MathKnight 21:34, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

About The Split Tag
I know this guy isn't well known but the person and his theory might be better presented if they were split into two seperate articles. Tiki God 09:26, 19 February 2006 (UTC)


 * MOND already has an article. You're right; there's no need for an explanation of MOND in this article.  What this article needs is a bibliography, for example, he's written one or two articles for Scientific American, not to mention his dozens of publications in scientific journals.  There's a pretty exhaustive bibliography at "The MOND Pages," I believe. 129.12.228.161 19:25, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Relativity Disproven?
Does Milgrom's Theory truly disprove Einstein's relativity or does it simply modify the way we look at the universe?

I think it's most fair to say that at the moment MOND is an empirical law. It seems to work in some regimes and that demands an explanation (because it's a very bizarre thing!) At the moment there is none from the prevailing ideas in physics (though not to say that one won't be forthcoming).

Quotation altered
User:Naturalistic, while I agree with your edit, I am going to revert. That's because you edited a direct quote, designated as such. Maybe we could just trim it a bit instead, without altering the meaning? FeralOink (talk) 17:44, 25 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Naturalistic I changed it to this.

"Modified Newtonian dynamics [an acceleration-based modification of dynamics or gravity] is solely the invention of Mordehai (Moti) Milgrom... it is safe to say that in the early 1980s no one but Milgrom had considered such a possible modification as an alternative to astrophysical dark matter..."
 * Does that seem okay to you?--FeralOink (talk) 17:53, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes that does seem okay and I see your point.
 * I was particularly aiming to cut out the tendentious comment "the idea . . . would have probably occurred to someone else sooner or later." This is close to true of ALL scientific theories young or old. Thanks for asking. Naturalistic (talk) 18:47, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
