James Webb Space Telescope finds evidence for alternate theory of gravity

SMRTR summary

New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope challenge the prevailing theory of galaxy formation involving dark matter. Data shows ancient galaxies appearing larger and brighter than expected, contradicting predictions of the Lambda-CDM model. Instead, the findings support an alternative theory called Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), which suggests galaxies formed quickly without dark matter. While MOND remains controversial, these observations may force astronomers to reconsider longstanding views on gravity and cosmic structure formation.
