"X-RAYS AND AN ALTERNATE THEORY OF GRAVITATION" ...
Reference to the Astrophysical Journal for 1982 May 15 ...
The peak luminosities of some X-ray bursers exceeds the Eddington
limit, indicating that Einstein's theory of gravity may be wrong.
A non-symmetric theory of gravitation developed by J.W.Moffat at
University of Toronto fits the observations better, as well as
explaining the motion of the planet Mercury better.
