Verlinde's new theory of gravity passes first test

A team led by astronomer Margot Brouwer has tested the new theory of theoretical physicist Erik Verlindefor the first time through the lensing effect of gravity. Brouwer and her team measured the distribution of gravity around more than 33,000 galaxies to put Verlinde’s prediction to the test. She concludes that Verlinde’s theory agrees well with the measured gravity distribution.
