Not only that, but MOND had some predictions, and observations ruled it out.
(My memory don't serve me well on this one, but it had to do with different types of matter falling on something, and the rate was shown to be uniform, in MOND it wouldn't be so....)
I already read the actual paper, The problem with this, is that there is tons of models which can be fitted to the data. One can find a model which predict these plots, and works perfectly, but it's exactly like looking at the clouds and seeing faces in them. After the preliminarily results from the Pamela experiment, everyone tried to fit his model to the data. For all we know there other astrophysics model that can explain this without the need to inject dark matter in this.
(Yes I am physicist, and yes I am working on dark matter)
So it's a popularity contest now ? does validity comes from cheer numbers ?
I remember one slashdot user that said something few month ago:
(enjoy)
My point is that, from the an objective point of view, there's no difference between a street crazy telling us what his imaginary friend says, or two street crazies telling us what their imaginary friend says, and so on all the way up to millions of people doing telling us what their imaginary friend says. There only seems to be a difference because once the mob is big enough we start calling the imaginary friend whatever the mob calls it (generally "god" or "goddess" in some language) and acting as if the shear number of adherents makes a difference...
And there is still idiots who believe evolution is wrong...
Anyway I didn't read the article yet, but i would love to see if he was exposing them to different types of pressure and how did they adapted to that pressure.
It's the Conspiracy theory heavenly event...
5 cables in such a short period ?
with Iran being probably the most affected by this.
ps I live in Lebanon, I'm not affected by this ( so far! )

I can "lay" a "cable" faster than that...
A slashdotter? I seriously doubt our ability to even lay ourselves!
heavier overlords ;)
Heavier ? You do know you are dead now, right ?:P

god did it
Which one of them?

I guess the Iranians are pretty happy right now.
You can always use them for heating, with oil price going up.
In soviet Russia, you don't not program AI, AI program you..
So every time someone forget to divide by 2 , he is going to claim he came up with a major discovery ??
