Dark matter is currently the most widely accepted hypothesis for explaining some of the weirdness we see in the cosmos – but it’s not the only possibility. Now, a team of astronomers has discovered ...

CLEVELAND, Aug. 28 (UPI) -- A modified law of gravity correctly predicted the behavior of stars in galaxies of the Milky Way's neighbor Andromeda, U.S. and Israeli scientists say. The prediction made ...

A new study reports conclusive evidence for the breakdown of standard gravity in the low acceleration limit from a verifiable analysis of the orbital motions of long-period, widely separated, binary ...

Dynamic galaxy: can the rotation of the spiral galaxy NGC 1232 be explained by MOND? (Courtesy: ESO) Can modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) explain the curious behaviour of rotating galaxies? Two ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, an immensely important update to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, is currently our best approximation ...

An international group of scientists has published research contending that modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) -- a rival idea to the popular dark matter hypothesis -- more accurately predicts a ...
