Three months after I wrote this, another group of astronomers analyzed the same data as the Korean group and came to the opposite conclusion. They find evidence AGAINST MOND in the same data where I have reported that the Korean group found evidence FOR MOND.
" Arthur Eddington's selective presentation of data from the 1919 Eclipse so that it supposedly supported "Einstein's" general relativity theory is surely one of the biggest scientific hoaxes of the 20th century. His lavish support of Einstein corrupted the course of history. Eddington was less interested in testing a theory than he was in crowning Einstein the king of science.
The physics community, unwittingly perhaps, has engaged in a kind of fraud and silent conspiracy; this is the byproduct of simply being bystanders as the hyperinflation of Einstein's record and reputation took place. " https://bibliotecapleyades.net/esp_einstein.htm
Stephan J Gift published a paper detailing how GPS satellite clock corrections can be made without resorting to relativity. Essentially, he accounts for gravitational redshift by assuming a photon behaves as if it has mass and then equating the work done in raising the photon out of the gravitational field to the photon’s energy, where E = hf.
Also you might be interested to know that the gravitational constant G has recently been derived from Mach’s principle, adding weight (no pun intended) to an electromagnetic origin of gravity.

This article describes how the experiments that support GR could equally well support other theories.
Parallell Universes are not perfectly aligned, but very close? Quantum Effect
Misalignment barely measurable,
and explains the jumping back and forth of tiny particles?
The divergence between even Newtonian gravity and galactic observations would seem to offer solid direction for improved theories.

Bring on the revolution!
Thanks Josh, for an informative and enjoyable read.
