Groundbreaking new research finds that gravity can exist without mass
>Study finds that gravity, which involves the warping of space-time, affects all objects, even light photons, whether they have any mass or not
>In his paper published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Lieu presents a theory that suggests gravity can exist without mass. This groundbreaking idea could potentially eliminate the need for dark matter to explain certain gravitational effects.
>“My own inspiration came from my pursuit for another solution to the gravitational field equations of general relativity — the simplified version of which, applicable to the conditions of galaxies and clusters of galaxies, is known as the Poisson equation — which gives a finite gravitation force in the absence of any detectable mass,” says Lieu, a distinguished professor of physics and astronomy at UAH. “This initiative is in turn driven by my frustration with the status quo, namely the notion of dark matter's existence despite the lack of any direct evidence for a whole century.”

Gravity exists just because.

That would be groundbreaking for 1915 maybe

no, only a mong would come to that conclusion
We just don't understand what causes it

We can make gravity without adding mass in centrifuges.

This. That is why it's called the Mass-Energy Tensor, not the Mass Tensor.

that's silly

a guy just sugests a new model. where is the "research finds"? theorizing is not finding.
>>This groundbreaking idea could potentially eliminate the need for dark matter to explain certain gravitational effects.
neat
fuck dark matter apologists

So it is just because.
A random empty sector of the universe decides to have gravity, because, fuck you and there you go, gravity it has.

Didn't a woman say this exact same thing like two months ago and everyone laughed at her? Makes a lot more sense than dark matter but I'm still going with the Wooly Willy Hypothesis

So if space itself is gravity, or gravity is some field of energy that exists within space, how does matter and energy collect and concentrate this field towards itself?

Yeah no shit. Gravity is just the force exerted by mass simply existing. Wow good one OP, you broke the code.
