Reply to Lopsided star cluster may disprove Newton and Einstein, controversial new study claims. An uneven distribution of stars in several nearby clusters may offer evidence of MOND — a controversial theory of gravity that disputes Newton and rejects the existence of dark matter. by nimobo
Wouldn’t you expect a moving, gravitationally associated, cluster of stars to build up a drift of other, slower moving stars in the leading edge and “scoop them up” into mutual attraction, accelerating them, adding to the population of the cluster, and leaving fewer stars in the trail?
