Astronomer Discover Deviation in Gravity that Challenges Einstein’s Theory
Astronomer have discovered a ”deviation in gravity” that contradicts the models of Einstein’s and Newton’s theories, according to Professor Kyu-Hyun Chae from Sejong University in Seoul, South Korea. Chae used images from the Gaia space telescope to study the acceleration of 26,500 binary stars within 650 light-years from Earth. By focusing on a specific type of binary stars called wide binaries, the study found that the movements of these stars did not align with Newton’s law of gravity and Einstein’s theory of relativity at accelerations lower than 0.1 nanometers per second squared. Chae referred to this deviation as ”direct proof” that gravity breaks down at low accelerations. The study’s findings suggest that an alternative theory called Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), proposed in the 1980s, provides a better explanation for the movements of these stars at low accelerations. MOND challenges the assumption of dark matter in the universe, which goes against the standard model in physics. While Chae’s findings require further confirmation from independent analyses, if proven true, they could have significant implications for astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics as a whole.
