Dark Matter or Modified Gravity? Rethinking the Universe

🌌 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.
