MOND as a modification of Newtonian inertia [GA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1708.05385


We present a modified inertia formulation of MOND without retaining Galilean invariance. Assuming that the existence of a universal upper bound, predicted by MOND, to the acceleration produced by a dark halo is equivalent to a violation of the hypothesis of locality (which states that an accelerated observer is pointwise inertial), we will demonstrate that Milgrom’s law is invariant under a new space-time coordinate transformation. In light of the new coordinate symmetry, we will address the deficiency of MOND in resolving the mass discrepancy problem in clusters of galaxies.
