Humblemunn Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 The excellent results of MOND predictions with satellite dwarf galaxies around Andromeda show that the closer the dwarf galaxy is to the host galaxy, Andromeda, the greater the influence of the host: The paper's calculations using MOND also reveal subtle differences in the gravity fields of dwarfs near and far from the host galaxy Andromeda. The gravity fields of dwarfs far from the host appear to be dominated by stars within the dwarf, while the gravity fields of dwarfs close to the host appear to be dominated by the host. No such distinction is expected with dark matter. I would like to speculate that it is the closeness of the dwarf galaxy to the plane of rotation of the host which is also a critical factor. Perhaps the modification to Newton's gravity should be the consideration of an additional force of attraction on the plane of rotation of heavenly bodies. This tallies very nicely with another speculation I have that the Earth's 100ky glacial cycle is in sync with the Earth's inclination cycle, the up and down movement, about Jupiter's orbtal plane.
