What’s that saying again? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence? I don’t think we’re quite there yet, but for all of you MOdified Newtonian Dynamics fans (and Dark Matter haters) out there here’s a bit of good news.

    Well, it is a direct quote from the published study, so maybe not the journalist’s fault this time:

    “direct evidence for the breakdown of standard gravity at weak acceleration” and reveal “an immovable anomaly of gravity in favor of MOND-based modified gravity”

      So it would be a breakdown of standard gravity, not of gravity full stop. Sensationalized headline.
