"Smoking-gun evidence" for MOND? New study of wide binaries

Smoking-gun evidence for modified gravity at low acceleration from Gaia observations of wide binary stars (Phys.org)

Quote:

A new study reports conclusive evidence for the breakdown of standard gravity in the low acceleration limit from a verifiable analysis of the orbital motions of long-period, widely separated, binary stars, usually referred to as wide binaries in astronomy and astrophysics.
The study was published in the Astrophysical Journal and claims 5 sigma significance. Based on data from the European Space Agency's Gaia space telescope.
