Einstein's Theory Improved?

skaet writes to tell us that A Chinese astronomer from the University of St Andrews claims to have fine-tuned Einstein's theory of gravity. Dr Hong Sheng Zhao has created a 'simple' theory which could "solve a dark mystery that has baffled astrophysicists for three-quarters of a century." This new law seeks to discover whether Einstein's theory was correct and if dark matter actually exists.

    Worst article ever.

    Dark Matter particles come naturally from physics,

    Dark Matter is an ad hoc theory. Dark Matter is made up crap and came directly from the ass of a physicist that drank too much snake oil. How does this guy's work differ? We'll never know from this article.

    A non-Newtonian gravity theory is now fully specified on all scales by a smooth continuous function. It is ready for fellow scientists to falsify.

    Describing a function with words is lacking at best. When I first read this I thought "they're poised to falsify data?"

    The author uses words like: Legend, mystery, golden laws. I expect the headline below this article to say "Mr. Fuzzy Wuzzy weds Batman".

    Dark Matter at odds with General Relativity

    Oh, don't mind me, I'm just pointing out that, to my understanding, either the God was a hypocrite or you can interpret His word to mean what you choose.

    Just my 2p.
