James Webb Telescope Data Challenges Dark Matter Theory in Early Galaxy Formation

New observations suggest Modified Newtonian Dynamics may better explain the rapid emergence of massive galaxies.

The James Webb Space Telescope has observed large, bright galaxies in the early universe, contrary to dark matter predictions.
Astrophysicist Stacy McGaugh and colleagues propose that Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) better fits these observations.
The standard cosmological model, which includes dark matter, expected dim signals from smaller, primitive galaxies.
MOND suggests that galaxy formation occurred rapidly without the need for dark matter, aligning with Webb's findings.
This research implies a potential need to revise our understanding of gravity and the universe's evolution.
