Scientific paper

Terrestrial and solar system experiments are shown to severely constrain the strength of an antigravity field with range much greater than 1 AU. The small upper limits set on the absolute value of alpha by the Eotvos-Dicke experiments (less than about 10 to the -9th), the gravitational redshift experiment (less than about 7 x 10 to the -5th), and the Mercury perihelion shift measurement (less than about 10 to the -2nd) are too small to produce any observable effect on galactic rotation curves. These results rule out antigravity as a possible solution to the missing-mass problem in galaxies.
