A recent study that poses new challenges to the existence of dark matter suggests that gravity can exist even in the absence of mass. Although all life on Earth experiences its effects every day, gravity remains one of the great mysteries of modern physics. Now, a new study published by Dr. Richard Lieu of the … Read more
