What’s that saying again? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence? I don’t think we’re quite there yet, but for all of you MOdified Newtonian Dynamics fans (and Dark Matter haters) out there here’s a bit of good news.
I hate this title, even though it’s a good article. It’s nothing to do with gravity “breaking down”; maybe oul the current THEORY of gravity breaking down. So annoying that titles need to be sensationalized.
Yeah, a better title would have been “new observations show gravity anomaly indicating that current dark matter theories are incomplete”, but you get fewer clicks with something like that, right?
Well, it is a direct quote from the study, so maybe not the journalist’s fault this time:
“direct evidence for the breakdown of standard gravity at weak acceleration” and reveal “an immovable anomaly of gravity in favor of MOND-based modified gravity”
