“I was feeling like I was dreaming. It seemed so unreal. This is because my results did not match any previous results," said astronomer Kyu-Hyun Chae.

What’s that saying again? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence? I don’t think we’re quite there yet, but for all of you MOdified Newtonian Dynamics fans (and Dark Matter haters) out there here’s a bit of good news.

            We haven’t even gotten people to Mars and it would “only” be a couple of year trip with current technology. I can’t imagine society making a generational trip happen any time soon. Sorry for being a Debbie downer.
