Gravitational lensing and missing mass
The mass of an astrophysical object can be estimated by the amount of gravitational lensing of another object that it causes. To arrive at the estimation however, one assumes the validity of the inverse square law of gravity, or equivalently an attractive 1/r potential. We show that the above, augme...
