"Revealing Modified Gravity: Wide Binary Stars and the MOND Debate"

A new study published in The Astrophysical Journal provides further evidence for modified gravity at low acceleration, reinforcing previous findings from 2023. The study, conducted by Kyu-Hyun Chae of Sejong University, analyzed wide binary stars observed by the Gaia space telescope and revealed that these systems experience larger accelerations than predicted by Newtonian physics at low gravitational forces. This anomaly aligns with predictions from modified gravity theories such as MOND, suggesting a potential paradigm shift in our understanding of gravity and its implications for astrophysics and cosmology.
