Not that it's related to the article, but I am quite sympathetic to MOND and the tired photon hypothesis. It must be quite exhausting, travelling at c all the time. When I was looking at some far off quasar once I remember thinking how those poor photons, which had been travelling uninterrupted for nigh on 13 billion years before obliterating themselves on my unworthy retina, could barely crawl through my cornea and over the inner edge of my iris. Oh, the darlings...
