🌌 In this episode of Cosmos in a Pod, we tackle one of the most profound debates in modern cosmology: does dark matter truly exist, or is our understanding of gravity fundamentally flawed? Join host Amitesh as we unravel the history, evidence, and groundbreaking challenges to the dark matter hypothesis.

πŸš€ Key Topics Covered:

  • The Origins of Dark Matter: How Fritz Zwicky and Vera Rubin shaped our understanding of the cosmos.
  • The Case for Dark Matter: From galaxy rotation curves to the cosmic web and gravitational lensing.
  • Challenging the Paradigm: Why recent studies of galaxy rotation curves favour MOND over dark matter.
  • Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND): A revolutionary idea reshaping our understanding of gravity.
  • What’s Next: How future observations from the Vera Rubin Observatory and new theories could redefine cosmology.

✨ Explore how the universe continues to surprise and challenge us, offering a glimpse into the evolving nature of scientific discovery.
