Fraser Cain on Nostr: One explanation for dark matter is not a particle but a change to how gravity works ...
One explanation for dark matter is not a particle but a change to how gravity works at the largest distances, known as Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). In theory, wide binary stars are at the perfect distance where the effects of MOND should just barely be detectable. Researchers have been arguing back and forth whether observations from Gaia show this result is more or less likely. A new paper claims an even stronger detection of MOND in Gaia data.
