What happened to the recent work showing that galactic rotation curves are consistent with ordinary GR? Last I read, cosmologists were choosing to ignore it. The article does not mention it, and treats galaxy rotation as if it were still considered anomalous.
It would be amusing if dark matter and MOND turned out to be both correct, and both needed. E.g., dark matter is diffuse enough not to affect galaxy rotation, but clumped enough to account for lensing and cluster adhesion.
Casting MOND as a matter of fields, which are also particles, seems to mean just a different sort of dark matter that interacts by some other means than gravitation, rather than our model of gravity itself being off. Some people who dislike dark matter would not like that much.
