Astrophysics:
The failure of the standard model of cosmology by Pavel Kroupa - strong support for MOND physics and no dark matter.
So, my impression from ~4 years ago was that SMOC was mediocre on ~3 different empirical tests, and competitors, like MOND, were great on one test but terrible on the other two, and this is why SMOC is the majority viewpoint. But that was years ago, and things may have changed significantly since then; are there any cosmologists in the audience who can comment on if progress in MOND has overcome any of the hurdles it faced before?
IIRC, the biggest problem for SMOC is the reheating after inflation, while MOND cosmology have trouble with everything else.
