From Modified Newtonian Dynamics to Superfluid Vacuum Theory

Herein is a review of the essentials of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) versus dark matter models based on Superfluids for modeling galactic rotation curves. We review the successes and issues of both approaches. We then mention a recent alternative based on the Superfluid Vacuum Theory (SVT) with a nonlinear logarithmic Schrödinger equation (LogSE) which reconciles both approaches, retains the essential success of MOND and the Superfluid nature but does not necessitate the hypothesis of processes including dark matter. We conclude with the implications of this SVT alternative on quantum theory itself.
