We explore the possibility that Milgrom's modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is a manifestation of the modification of inertia at small accelerations. Consistent with the Tully–Fisher relation, dynamics in the small acceleration domain may originate from a quartic (cubic) velocity dependence of energy (momentum) whereas gravitational potentials remain linear with respect to mass. The natural frame...
