Testing MOND on Earth

TL;DR

This paper reviews Earth-based tests of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), emphasizing the need for collaboration between theorists and experimenters to advance this promising alternative to Dark Matter.

Contribution

It provides a brief overview of recent proposals for testing MOND on Earth and outlines future research directions.

Findings

Existing Earth-based tests are in early stages

Collaboration between theorists and experimenters is crucial

Future experimental approaches are proposed

Abstract

MOND is one of the most popular alternatives to Dark Matter (DM). While efforts to directly detect DM in laboratories have been steadily pursued over the years, the proposed Earth-based tests of MOND are still in their infancy. Some proposals recently appeared in the literature are briefly reviewed, and it is argued that collaborative efforts of theorists and experimenters are needed to move forward in this exciting new area. Possible future directions are outlined.
