[extropy-chat] Einstein's Theory 'Improved'?

[Jonathan Despres]

Here is the text:

A Chinese astronomer from the University of St Andrews has fine-tuned
Einstein's groundbreaking theory of gravity, creating a 'simple'
theory which could solve a dark mystery that has baffled
astrophysicists for three-quarters of a century.

A new law for gravity, developed by Dr Hong Sheng Zhao and his Belgian
collaborator Dr Benoit Famaey of the Free University of Brussels
(ULB), aims to prove whether Einstein's theory was in fact correct and
whether the astronomical mystery of Dark Matter actually exists. Their
research was published on February 10th in the US-based Astrophysical
Journal Letters. Their formula suggests that gravity drops less
sharply with distance as in Einstein, and changes subtly from solar
systems to galaxies and to the universe.
