Abstract
The description of the Universe provided by Einstein’s General Relativity has proven extremely successful on solar scales, yet it fails on galactic scales and beyond. Several empirical observations indicate this, where the predictions do not fit the observations. Generally, this problem is approached by adding large amounts of unseen matter or gravity to the General Relativity theory, establishing the so-called Cold Dark Matter theory. Nevertheless, this is not the only possible explanation. As it has been stressed by many physicists, another interesting strategy is to change the point of view: what if the theory needs to be modified on these cosmological scales? From this perspective the Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) was born. In this work we will get initiated in this promising interpretation by explaining the first step towards a relativistic formulation of the MOND algorithm.
