Mesa redonda: Materia oscura vs. gravitación alternativa. Aciertos y problemas de ambos paradigmas
Abstract
The dark matter paradigm was proposed in 1933 to try to explain the behavior of the rotation curves of galaxies and clusters. Subsequently, other explanations based on modifications to the current theory of gravitation were proposed. This article briefly describes both proposals, highlighting the successes and problems in each case. In the case of dark matter, the main problem is not detecting it in terrestrial experiments. On the other hand, the alternative theories of gravity couldn't explain the data from the cosmic background radiation and the large-scale structure observed in galaxy surveys.
