SUMMARY
Perturbative quantum gravity calculations indicate that the gravitational constant (G) may increase at large distances, which raises the question of whether this phenomenon can account for the observed galaxy rotation velocity curves. However, there is a critical distinction in the predictions of quantum gravity, as some experts assert that G actually increases at small distances or high energies, not at large distances. This discrepancy highlights the need for further investigation into the implications of perturbative quantum gravity on astrophysical observations.
