    concepts consist of cheer leading. Gravity is the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. For most purposes Newton's laws of gravity apply, with minor modifications to take the general theory of relativity into account.

    matter(Shelton). Dark matter cannot actually be seen or detected itself, but, as Zwicky found, it causes immense levels of gravity. This newly discovered galaxy has only the normal amount of gravity you would expect to find due to its stars, planets, and general cosmic junk, unlike every other galaxy we’ve researched, which has a much greater gravitational effect than can be attributed to the mass of the known matter in any particular galaxy. Jim Shelton quotes Pieter van Dokkum, the leader…
