RE: Shedding light on dark matter with clocks

in #steemstem6 years ago (edited)

What is the chance that gravitational force deviates slightly from an inverse square rule at very large distances (as an alternative explanation for dark matter)? I suspect observational evidence may have already ruled this out, but interested to hear your thoughts. btw..Great article as usual :)

Sort:  

The modified gravity option is not ruled out, and it is a quite active field of research. This possibility is very alive (you can check this article that I wrote some time ago). I find it not as supported by data as standard cosmology, but it is on the other hand not excluded yet. And since anything not ruled out is an option... ;)

Thank you that was exactly what I'm after 👍

You are welcome! Feel free to come back to me if you have any other question.
