will_a113Astronomer Claims 'Direct Evidence' of Gravity Breaking Down
Huh, this is interesting. I found a slightly more in depth article on this: universetoday.com/…/evidence-for-modified-gravity…
It’d be amazing if this actually led to something MoNDish being the prevalent theory of gravity. Wouldn’t that essentially explain dark matter?
Evidence for Modified Gravity Found in the Motions of Binary Stars
There are two leading explanations for dark matter, massive particles that don't interact with regular matter apart from gravity and a subtle difference in how gravity behaves at large distances. Astronomers have studied the interactions of over 20,000 binary stars with wide orbits cataloged in Gaia data. They found that orbital accelerations of the stars match the predictions made by modified Newtonian gravity and provide compelling evidence for the MOND hypothesis over the dark matter being a particle.
ChetzemokaIt could explain the observations of the orbits of stars around galactic centers that currently can't be explained (stars move faster than current models predict), yes. It would be an alternate explanation for this anomaly than dark matter, which is the other proposed "if this exists, it would explain what we see" hypothesis.
