Chae observed a gravitational anomaly in wide binary star systems that challenges Newtonian gravity and Einstein's general relativity!!
Stars in weakly accelerating orbits deviate from standard models, aligning with the Modified Newtonian Dynamics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Newtonian_dynamics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Newtonian_dynamics (MOND). Suggests an alternate theory without requiring dark matter. He's calling for a reevaluation of gravity theories and potentially reducing the need for vast dark matter.
