Smoking-gun evidence for modified gravity at low acceleration from Gaia observations of wide binary stars
Aug 2023, phys.org
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 stars.
Them fightin words.
(Although this was suggested 40 years ago by theoretical physicist Mordehai Milgrom at the Weizmann Institute in Israel in a new theoretical framework called modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) or Milgromian dynamics in current usage.)
The significance is very high meeting the conventional criteria of 5 sigma for a scientific discovery.
