Oh snap! Take that, dark matter!

"Dark matter cannot be used to fudge them because in order for dark matter to predict galaxy rotation it must stay spread out and therefore it cannot be squeezed into little wide binary systems."

His blog is an interesting read.
Dark matter is dying. RIP.

    You already had a journal about a galaxy where quantum inertia doesn't work (the one allegedly with no dark matter). And the theory does this weird circular argument where it talks about inertia in terms of acceleration without actually doing anything different from standard theory. My suspicion is that if we dug a bit, we'd find MONDO-style adaptions to make the theory fit observation - and in the present journal we don't actually know whether theory fits observation.
