MOND and Bode's Law
I admit, you can't get more ATM than this, but I've been musing about something. The central tenet of MOND, if I understand it correctly, is that at very low accellerations the increase in the force of gravity ceases to be exponential and becomes linear.
It's strange that the same thing also happens to Bode's Law at the edge of the Solar System.
Between Mercury and Uranus, the orbits are roughly exponential.
After Uranus, they appear to become linear. Uranus is roughly ten AU from Neptune, which is roughly ten AU from Pluto.
Now here's the really freaky bit: Pluto is roughly ten AU from the Kuiper cliff, and the Kuiper cliff is roughly 20 AU from Eris.
Just a thought.

It's gotten to the point where careful investigation is needed just to tell parody from reality. I think that means reality is broken.- Noclevername.
