Usual NASA Headline: astronomers prove “DM+DE+GR”

i.e., we “see” (via lensing, dynamics, candles, CMB)a misbalance of Einstein’s Equation:

Observed space-time Curvature Gtt

- Energy Density of Known source Ttt = Unidentified Source Ttt > 0

Ideas to restore Balance:*Assume w=0 pressure-less fluid dark matter*Assume w=-1 Cosmological Constant, inflaton fluid*Vary w evolving fields of (modified) metric-coupling

detect an energy residue

E/c2 – mknown > 0 in late time universe

We “see” extra metric perturbations:CDM or neutrinos or clumps of energy?

Title: Resurrection from the Graveyard of Gravity:       Renaissance of MOND as Dark Energy

Abstract:While under-developed historically due to the lack ofa relativistic framework, Milgrom's empirical formulais a magical crystal ball, which forseed the ubiquitous existenceof an EFFECTIVE Dark Matter and Dark Energy well beforethe more physically motivated LCDM parametrization of the cosmos.The MOND formula works accurate in nearly all spiral galaxies, andis order of magnitude correct in clusters of galaxies and in cosmology.This is a remarkable achievementconsidering the tiny amount of man power and computational power spenton MONDified gravity research.  Theoretical physicists have recentlyimbeded MOND in a fully relativistic framework.

I present new results which suggest thatMOND is fundementally a hypothesis about the vaccum andspace-time, which reduces to Dark Matter effects in collapsedgalaxy-like structures and Dark Energy effects in uniform cosmology.A proof of existence of dark matter(like known neutrinos or the promising LHC SUSY particles)is often not incompatible with a range of gravity theories,and is not a proof of General Relativity. The even more ellusive nature ofthe cosmological constant is the stronger motivation for modified gravity.
