Not really. If the choice is between a simple explanation and a complex one that, on examination says exactly the same thing... I would imagine that most would be convinced to go for simple.
Not that this is the case with the problem that standard gravity and observed mass don't...
Vanadium. Why? Because there are always an infinite number of ways to explain anything. The trick is to find the simple that explains much. By all means stop at ten....if those ten equations sum to less complexity than the original one. But let's face facts, they won't. With the original...
Fra. My thanks.
I suppose my original question was badly written. Perhaps I might have asked if breaking the force into standard gravity plus modified gravity made the maths more, or less elegant.
If that my first reaction is right, that article suggests elegance is in no way involved, which...
It's speculation, but not personal speculation. It a genuine question as to what is possible, (which you have answered in the affirmative.) plus an explanation as to why I asked.
I honestly expect somebody to ether explain why MOND can't reasonably be though of as two forces, or tell me where...
What I wrote is purely speculative, and unlikely to lead anywhere. However, unlikely is not impossible. So, yes, I doubt too, but doubt should not stop speculation, just conviction.
As to quantum mechanics, I see no reason to go there until we first understand the forces involved. If MOND is...
Is it possible that MOND might be standard gravity plus an additional force that is inversely proportional to distance. One that is also a property of matter?
I ask, because viewing this way begs the questions: If two, then why not more, and if more then perhaps a series with a hope of...
