Gravity Without Mass Is A New Explanation For The Failure To Find Dark Matter

Gravity Can Exist Without Mass, Eliminates the Need for Elusive Dark Matter

Astrophysicist Richard Lieu has proposed that the Universe may have thin, shell-like layers of "topological defects" that give rise to gravity without any underlying mass instead of dark matter. Continue reading to learn more.

Gravity Without Mass Is A New Explanation For The Failure To Find Dark Matter

A new explanation for why we have not found dark matter proposes that it doesn’t exist. Instead, the author thinks we have been misunderstanding gravity. He’s not the first to suggest that, but the new proposal, of gravity without mass created by topological defects in space-time, is particularly novel.

Wild New Study Suggests Gravity Can Exist Without Mass

What is gravity without mass? Both Newton's revolutionary laws describing its universal effect and Einstein's proposal of a dimpled spacetime, we've thought of gravity as exclusively within the domain of matter.

Dark matter: the curious absence of an indefinable presence

Elections? Wars? They’re hardly a blip in the face of a much bigger issue: why can’t we see dark matter, especially as we don’t even know if it exists?

Physicist's gravity revelation may finish 'endless search' for dark matter

The existence of dark matter has been inferred from the gravitational effects it has on visible matter but new research is questioning this scenario.

New theory: Gravity can exist without mass, so dark matter does not exist

Scientists have grappled with the fundamental forces that govern our universe, chief among them being gravity, and more recently, dark matter.
