Hubble finds first galaxy in the local universe without dark matter
I was talking with some physicists from Fermilab last week about dark matter (I&#x27;m a physics enthusiast but certainly no physicist) and one thing they were discussing was how current dark matter experiments are constraining possible dark matter candidates significantly as they get more sensitive without finding any. This has lead to increased interest by physicists in alternative theories, including MOND. This galaxy discovery, though, appears to be strong evidence against MOND or other modified-gravity theories since the dark matter is missing in this case. It provides more evidence for dark matter&#x27;s existence, even as the strongest candidate, Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are becoming more constrained by lack of evidence.
