Dark Matter Realism Reconsidered
Philosophy of Astrophysics
This is an open access book. This book, the first edited collection of its kind, explores the recent emergence of philosophical research in astrophysics.
Philosophy of Astrophysics
Mond and meta-empirical theory assessment
While $$\Lambda $$ Λ CDM has emerged as the standard model of cosmology, a small group of physicists defends modified newtonian dynamics (MOND) as an alternative view on cosmology. Exponents of MOND have employed a broad, at times explicitly philosophical, conceptual perspective in arguing their case. This paper offers reasons why that MONDian defense has been ineffective. First, we argue that the defense is ineffective according to Popperian or …
Method-Driven Experiments and the Search for Dark Matter
Since the discovery of dark matter in the 1980s, multiple experiments have been set up to detect dark matter particles through some other mode than gravity. Particle physicists provide detailed justifications as to why their experiments should be able to detect dark matter. I show that these justifications take on a structure different from what is often the case in experimental practice, and I argue that this is because of the limited descriptio…
