In this episode, Chad and Mike discuss some of the theories as to why the sun is orbiting within the Milky Way faster than it really should.  The Sun, in fact, isn't alone.  Most stars, especially at the edges of most galaxies, are also moving too fast.  Is there some dark materials causing extra gravity?  Is there another way to think about gravity?  Join us in exploring these ideas further.
