Heart of Darkness Critical Essay - Subir Sarkar (links for more research in post, as well as my own non-professional findings)
(A great video introduction to Subir Sarkar's findings as well a recent related article down below)
For a few months I've been studying MOND and those best propagating it's paradigm. While studying I regularly came across references to Dark Energy and always had an intuitive discomfort with it. So I took a break from MOND and dove deeper into Dark Energy, hoping to enlighten myself better on it. It wasn't long until I came across Professor Subir Sarkar's work and it's implications on Dark Energy. While the video and links I've posted sheds light how modified the Standard Model of Cosmology is (refer to links), Sarkar's work also perfectly highlighted (I think coincidentally) Dark Matter's taint in the Standard Lambda-CDM model. To be clear, Sarkar has hypothesized and done papers narrowing down/out some forms of DM, but he is a self-proclaimed phonologist and ultimately seems agnostic about which gravity model (MOND or some form of DM) will stand the test of time, only that the model makes good predictions and best fits observable data. But I personally find it interesting that both the "Darks" are tainting the other's model and if you remove both of them, MOND has one less issue to answer for, while cosmology simply goes back to improving observations (locally and beyond) and eventually answer our cosmological constant (flat, positive, negative). With improved modeling of our galaxy filaments, we should discover the answer - if not be much closer to it.
