alt Hacker NewsMOND isn't dark matter.
The idea of dark matter is that the problem is caused by matter we can't see. We assume the standard equations and from the rotation of the galaxies we have some missing mass. But we have a few equations, like gravitational lens, where we also can meassure missing mass and we can compare the results of the different methods. There are a few examples in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Newtonian_dynamics#Ou...
MOND is an alternative solution to the same problem.
I expect that most people working in dark matter are astronomers an cosmologist. I don't expect many particle phycicist realy care about dark matter. I've seen a lot of claim of particle phycicist that their new pet theory may be the dark matter, but it's mostly overhype to try to get more grant money.
MOND is a theory that try to explain the 'dark matter problem' we have with our current theories. It is in that sense a dark matter theory, one that doesn't use matter as an explanation, like entropic gravity, negative mass or f(R) gravity.
And dark matter is an area of research and experiment in particle physics (at least it was 10 years ago)
