"Unraveling the Mystery: The Search for Planet Nine Intensifies"
The hunt for a ninth planet in our solar system may have taken an unexpected turn as two theoretical physicists propose that the observed anomalies in the outer solar system could be explained by a modified law of gravity known as Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). MOND suggests that Newton's law of gravity is valid up to a certain point, beyond which a different gravitational behavior takes over. The researchers found that MOND predicts the clustering of objects in the outer solar system, aligning with the galaxy's gravitational field. While the current dataset is small and other possibilities remain, this study highlights the potential for the outer solar system to test gravity and study fundamental physics problems.
