James Webb Telescope Sparks Rethink of Dark Matter and Galaxy Formation Theories

New data from the James Webb Space Telescope challenges the traditional dark matter model of galaxy formation, suggesting that galaxies in the early universe formed more rapidly than expected. This supports the Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) theory, which proposes an alternative gravitational model that does not rely on dark matter. The findings, published in The Astrophysical Journal, highlight MOND's predictive success but also acknowledge the challenges of integrating it with established cosmological theories like general relativity.
