MOND as modified inertia
M. Milgrom The Weizmann Institute Center for Astrophysics
Abstract
I briefly highlight the salient properties of modified-inertia
formulations of MOND, contrasting them with those of
modified-gravity formulations, which describe practically all
theories propounded to date. Future data (
e.g. the establishment
of the Pioneer anomaly as a new physics phenomenon) may prefer one
of these broad classes of theories over the other. I also outline
some possible starting ideas for modified inertia.
