The boundary of the universe has been a logical problem for many years, because if there is a boundary, it can be broken through or bypassed. Vasily describes it this way: there is a border only on one side, on ours, if you go outside the universe, you will not be able to return - there will be neither a door nor a direction where to go.

Light reaches us from distant galaxies billions of light years away though the vacuum of space, where there may be as few as one or two hydrogen atoms per cubic meter in deep space. I don't understand how you can see that as a "sea of electrons". If you want to discuss topics other than the wide binary stars orbits papers this thread is about, you can start another thread on those topics, but I don't want to hijack this thread any more with other topics.
The sea I see light travelling trough is the sea of electrons.

It's too soon to say which of the papers have the correct conclusions, or maybe none do, because of the variables involved and the relatively short observation times. Here is a less biased article on the topic which points out the other study coming to the opposite conclusion, to a very high confidence level, without trying to ultimately decide which is correct. We just don't know yet, but it's far less certain than your posts imply, to be sure.

Again I will repeat myself and you don't need any scientist to prove it to you. GRAVITY IS NOT A WEAK FORCE! Gravity is the strongest force in the Universe. I'll make it real simple. What keeps the Moon orbiting around the Earth/ What keeps the Earth and the Moon orbiting around the sun. Moons, Planets etc. etc. Objects that weigh gazillions of tons, not one but hundreds, these are held virtually precisely in place and has done for hundreds of thousands of years. THAT'S GRAVITY. It aint weak. And it permeates the entire Universe and if one cares to extrapolate gravity is the "zero" point energy man is always searching for. Because if man could harness gravity manipulation, not negating gravity but manipulating??????????
You're welcome, and thanks for your reply.

I don't have a problem with the scientific papers contradicting each other. Eventually we may know the reasons for the contradictions and can resolve them.
You've hit the nail on the head here... making conclusions from incomplete data is risky and there should be an acknowledgement of this in the publications. I do salute Chae for releasing his data for study; that's the ethical way that science should be done.
I also notice that people who are not scientists are hopping on the idea without noticing that it involves acceleration and hence does not apply to every single solar system/planetary system -- and then speculating (or declaring) technology that can evolve from it. It may turn into another "Quantum-fantasy" (much as happened with quantum entanglement) where some will turn it into an explanation (for them) of various phenomena.
Do you know of even a single solar system or planetary system that doesn't involve orbits? Because you can't have an orbit without something like centripetal acceleration, so I suspect they all have acceleration. The domain of MOND theory is very small accelerations, such as those in wide binaries. In binaries where the stars are closer, the acclerations are not as small, putting it outside the domain where the MOND adjustments kick in. So it's not whether there's acceleration or not, I don't know of any planets, moons or stars that don't accelerate centripetally at least, it's the magnitude of the acceleration where MOND proponents think their theory is needed to explain small accelerations. (As Chae claims in the paper in the OP link, "The empirical acceleration relation at (less then about) 10^−9 m/s² systematically deviates from the Newtonian expectation.")

Even though you may have been taught "relativistic mass" in school, my recommendation is to "unlearn it". Einstein didn't agree with that concept, and Don Lincoln says even though he may have been guilty of teaching that idea, it's really not correct. He mentions there is a small minority of people who still support the idea, but I think it has really lost favor, and the theory is after all Eistein's theory, so why would you want to disagree with Einstein on this?

So, let’s talk about that last one- the idea that you can’t go faster than the speed of light.
This is a well-demonstrated fact. So why is it true?
If you ask a well-educated scientific layperson, they will tell you that it’s because the mass of an object increases as the velocity increases. In fact, you’ll hear this said by people with physics degrees. There’s only one thing.
It’s just not true.
Now I realize that me saying that is going to confuse a lot of you.

Maybe planetary physics is slightly different to solar system physics and solar system physics isn’t quite galaxy physics. Slight differences due to scale of something I have no idea about.
The simplest answer for dark matter is that it does not exist and is only a band aid for the equations that don’t quite work.
We get locked in to dogma and Einstein is treated with religious fervour, probably because it is too daunting to consider he was wrong about some things. I dunno, I find that quite exciting.

But I was disturbed by how the opening post of this thread picked just one paper, while ignoring the others that came to completely different conclusions. We should consider the various papers on this topic until the contradictions in them have been resolved.

Even though this thread claims that Einstein's theory failed (which, by the way, has not been proven, despite the over-exuberant claims in the opening posts), there is a famous quote from Einstein that might aply here:

You're wrong. Mass does not create gravity. You can have any 2 or multiple masses, however large, will not cause gravity. Now, spinning masses are a different kettle of fish. A spinning mass does affect create gravity. If you would care to see the experiments of spinning heavy wheels that negates their mass therefore alter the force of gravity on them ie makes the lighter.
Example:- The moon is approx a quarter the size of Earth, gravity keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth, therefore gravity exists in the space between Earth and Moon (scientific fact, simple heh) now place an object half way between them and it would not be affected by either gravity. Gravity IS a force that's "manufactured" by spinning masses just like steam (a force) is "made" by boiling water, ie, water is not the force but the force comes from the water. As I said before the power within gravity we cannot make, but to manipulate that that is already there and it permeates the cosmos IS the Zero point energy.
Now before you ask no we don't know why mass distorts spacetime we just know it does through experiments
scientists use terms very carefully and they often have specific meaning. When you approach a mass like the moon for example, the spacetime around the moon has such little mass that you aren't far off if you say the density is about zero (the moon's "atmosphere" is a better vacuum than the best vacuum we can make on Earth). So it really doesn't make any sense to talk about the increased density of spacetime as you get closer to a mass like the moon. The spacetime is "warped" more closer to the moon than far away, but that's not related to density, defined as mass per unit volume, which doesn't increase significantly as you get closer to the moon.

When one speeds through space time slows down
When one approaches mass time slows down.
Doesn't it make sense that mass itself is warped spacetime? The increased density of spacetime in both cases causing time to slow down.
