"If the dark matter model is correct, the distribution of nearby galaxies should not affect the rotation curve. If MoND is correct, the distribution and resulting external field effect (EFE) should affect the curves.

Surprisingly, shockingly even, their study found a clear effect. In galaxies with the strongest external fields, the EFE was confirmed with a confidence of 8 to 11 sigma"
