From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mordehai Milgrom is an Israeli physicist and professor in the department of Condensed Matter Physics at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot. He is most famous for his proposal of Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) as an alternative to the dark matter and galaxies rotation curves problem, in 1981. Milgrom suggests that Newton's Second Law be modified for very small accelerations.
