Effects of non-baryonic dark matter appears when and only when the acceleration of gravity (computed including only baryons) falls below a certain value, baptized a0. a0 is smaller than the smallest acceleration probed in the solar system, e.g., the acceleration of Mercury on Pluto is > a0 Thus the idea is simple: Newtonian dynamics breaks down below a0 PPrrooppoosseedd bbyy MM..

Thus: If any of these two hypothesis is wrong - MOND suggests the second - FRW equations are inappropriate to describe the universe. Progress in cosmology seems not to depend on one’s ability to describe observations within one particular FRW based model, rather on re-writing these equations within the contest of a new theory of gravity.

Explains many data taken after it was proposed. Keep focus on demonstrating whether Newtonian dynamics fails at low accelerations. At present, I would compare MOND to Borh’s atom, which was based on un-justified assumptions and worked only for Hydrogen. This model eventually became the basis for quantum mechanics. Similarly, MOND might be the way to the next great step in physics..
