Gravity Can Exist Without Mass and Dark Matter Could Be Non-Existent

This one-of-a-kind theory “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,” Richard Lieu, study author and a distinguished professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Alabama in Huntsville said.
