A team of astrophysicists noticed a surprising thing while analyzing star clusters. The study is being conducted at the University of Bonn in Germany. Their findings challenge Newton’s law of gravity. The researchers mentioned such points in their publication.
What researchers observe is not entirely consistent with the theory of gravity. However, there is debate among experts about this. The results of this study were published in the Monthly Bulletin of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Researchers have observed well about open star clusters. Such conditions are created when thousands of stars are born in a short period of time in a huge gas cloud.
In this process, the cluster expands rapidly in less time. At this time, a formation of dozens to thousands of stars is created. The gravitational force between them is quite weak. This weak gravitational force holds the cluster together.
In most cases, open star clusters survive only a few hundred million years before collapsing. Two so-called “tidal tails.” One of these fungi pulls behind the cluster. The other, by contrast, leads like a leader.
In most cases, open star clusters survive for only a few hundred million years before disintegrating,” explains Dr. Pavel Kropa, Professor at the Helmholtz Institute of Radiation and Nuclear Physics at the University of Bonn.
In this process, the number of stars decreases in the regular style. At this time, you can see a tail-like shape behind the cluster. Scientists are using a theory called MOND to study how they are scattered in space.
Through simulation methods, scientists have understood why some star clusters disappear faster than expected. But the problem with MOND theory is that it conflicts with how gravity has been explained so far. However, this method can be useful in uncovering many mysteries of the universe.
