New Gravity Theory Dispenses with Dark Matter

Darkness Matters writes "According to New Scientist, a theory of modified gravity, which has no need of dark matter, has just explained why the Pioneer 10 probe is 400,000 miles off its expected course as it leaves the solar system. It sounds pretty convincing, although in dispensing with dark matter, they've had to utilize the theoretical particle, called a graviton, which appears from the vacuum of space wherever stars are densely packed, making gravity stronger."

    Yeah, well, people hate it when you make them feel stupid either way, so it really doesn't matter, child vs. scientist. They don't want to hear it.

    Actually, Edge's steal rate on such a high-level monster is so ridiculously low that's usually quicker to just let Rydia and Edge stay dead. The plus side is that Curaja will now fully-heal the remaining three members of your party in one go.

    Okay, if it's the first post asking for a mirror, it is not redundant. Any posts following asking for a mirror are redundant.
