    • Stephen Hawking explained it like this, two pieces of matter that are close to each other have less positive energy than the same two pieces a long way apart, because you have to expend energy to separate them against the gravitational force that is pulling them together.

    • But observations show that most stars have a similar orbit speed around their galactic disk, however close or far out they are, which implies that there is some gravitational force at work that we can't see and so far don't understand.

    • In the 17th century, Isaac Newton discovered that the strength of the gravitational force decreases by the square of the distance between two objects, so if you're twice as far away, gravity is only one-fourth as strong.
