DESCRIPTION:The ultraweak gravity in the outskirts of galaxies mean the qu
 antised nature of gravity should become important. The standard model cons
 ists of ignoring this and using classical theories of gravitation anyway. 
 This fails. Unless one adds vast amounts of hypothetical dark matter - inc
 reasingly unlikely given results from the LHC and elsewhere. Obtaining the
  required distributions of dark matter from reasonable initial conditions 
 also appears to be very unlikely.\n\nThis lecture will be about a compelli
 ng empirical modification to Newtonian gravity that does galactic dynamics
  without dark matter. It has some seemingly bizarre consequences for the l
 ocal group of galaxies\, in particular an ancient flyby of Andromeda. I wi
 ll be presenting recently gathered evidence\, some of it my own\, which st
 rongly suggests this really did happen.
