Caption

The inferred probability distribution (indicated by the thick blue-dotted magenta curve) of a gravity parameter (a measure of departure from standard gravity) is compared to the Newton-Einstein standard gravity. The standard gravity is outside the 99.997 percent probability range. Thin blue curves indicate individual probability distributions for 111 wide binaries with accelerations lower than about 1 nanometer per second squared, from which the combined distribution is obtained.
