According to the modified gravity theory, an offshoot of MOND, a black hole's shadow should be ten times larger compared to what general relativity predicts. The Event Horizon Telescope aims to image a black hole and its shadow for the first time in 2017.

Great that they can soon test it.

You deniers are going to destroy the gravity credit market. The science is settled.

There is no such thing as “dark matter”. Galaxies are held together by electromagnetic forces, not gravity.

Of course we do. Trying to keep general relativity together has led to extreme absurdities like assuming the universe is over 19 parts in 20 composed of stuff we have no way to detect and doesn’t interact with anything (other than to magically and conveniently correct the errors in general relativity).

Plasma cosmology - a universe dominated by electromagnetism, rather than gravity - is providing answers that make sense where institutional science repeatedly fails.

Well, you know, if the Navy gets a hold of it, they’ll rename it “Admiral Relativity”, and then we’ll really be in trouble.

I thought General Relativity lost his command in some kind of scandal.

“Do We Need to Revise General Relativity?”


Didn’t Obama fire him because he wouldn’t order his troops to collect guns from Ameri....uh, um, oh, never mind!

Why do we assume that gravity and the speed of light are the same and constant throughout the universe? It is assumed that the mass of something can predicts its gravitational force (and vica-versa). What if gravity is proportional based on the location, temperature and/or speed of the mass? If dark matter has no mass, can it be matter at all?

I’ve always thought Newton was a fraud.

It depends on your point of view.

It’s all those Midiclorians that have gone over to the Dark Side.

I’m pretty good with the current theory of relativity. Have an uncle that could be better, but that is about it.

I dunno, it'll be pretty hard to dethrone Big Al and his crowning achievement, GTR. The theory may very well be incomplete, but it may be absolutely accurate for the problems for which it's suited.

As I recall, there have been experiments to determine if the force of gravity varies with distance, and as far as I know none so far has shown any variation, over distances long or short.

Should be a very interesting next 100 years in physics.

"Ultimately, what we want is irrelevant. Science is not a consensus endeavor: the data rule."

Hmmm...That does not seem to be the consensus among scientists.

A quote in the article from one of the scientists...

“Science is not a consensus endeavor: the data rule.”

He needs to pass this on to all the warmist “scientists” out there.

I propose that there is dark space and dark time as well.

Why limit one's imagination?

If dark matter is gravitationally active, why doesn’t it in-fall to stellar system, indeed, galaxy scale objects that one would expect to occasionally impact with visible objects. Yet this is not observed anywhere in the cosmos.
