We've all heard $$F_g=\frac{gm_1m_2}{r^2}.$$ However, since I took physics, we've discovered "dark energy," which if I have any concept of the current thinking is caused by space being produced out of whole cloth in the intergalactic void, rather than a classical energy source.
However, if this is happening in the intergalactic void, it doesn't seem reasonable to think this doesn't happen everywhere. In proximity to significant mass, the effect could easily be overwhelmed by gravity to the point that it's difficult to distinguish independently, but certainly two small masses with sufficient distance between them would drift apart rather than attract. That would indicate that the Y-intercept of the gravitational function is nonzero, or $$F_g=\frac{gm_1m_2}{r^2}-K.$$
While this error (if extant) would probably be negligible when dealing with masses and densities that we encounter in this neighborhood, it might make a difference when we project it to exotic phenomena like neutron stars or black holes.
I know this sounds a bit crackpot, but I'm an EE with a few semesters of physics from the 1970s. Kindly take this into account when responding and try to make it simple and intuitive for me. :-)
