math of MOND

[AntonioLao]

A front article appeared in Discover science magazine August 2006 ‘The Einstein Dilemma: Was He Wrong About Gravity? A Radical New Theory Challenges Everything We Know About The Universe. The discoverer is Mordehai Milgrom see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordehai_Milgrom and his mathematics is found in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Newtonian_dynamics.

MOND theory could possibly replace dark matter and dark energy. However, the mainstream physics of cosmology followed the direction along classical general relativity (GR) and just beginning to incorporate Standard Model of elementary particles and high energy. Nonetheless, on March 25, 2004, a paper from Physical Review Letters D titled ‘Relativistic Gravitation Theory for the MOND Paradigm’ was written by Jacob Bekenstein http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Bekenstein. He incorporated Einstein’s GR mathematics such as tensor, vector, and scalar which described how matter and energy interact with space-time. This new theory is called TeVeS: an acronym for tensor, vector, and scalar. However, if these tensors could be replaced by Hadamard matrices of a theory of quantum space-time (TQS) then a MOND theory would necessarily become a theory of space-time charges: H+ and H- and their relationship to a generalized absolute acceleration.

An interesting idea indeed Antonio,do you think there is merit in digging deeper into this?

Sure; people are working on various modified gravity theories at present, including the tensor-vector-scalar theories of which antonio speaks.
