This is a very strange thing to declare definitely can't be happening, in a universe where subatomic particle interactions do not have definite results or even particularly comprehensible abstract models of how they work to human minds.
Especially when the alternative is "gravity has some minimum force over distance which is exactly small enough we can't detect it on Earth".
- R0b0t1 5y agoThat last point is a very good way to describe MOND. It seems quite compelling, tbh. A minimum force is in line with a maximum speed and minimum area. I'm aware the jury is out on it.
