An astronomer has observed a star in a distant galaxy and determined that the star is orbiting an unseen black hole faster than what can be explained by Newton’s laws of gravity. This suggests that the star’s movement is not being affected by a bigger mass, which could be explained by an alternative to gravity proposed by physicist Mordehai Milgrom. This means that gravity may break down in some conditions and milgrom’s theory could have some truth to it.
