| contents | In the past few decades, many studies revealed that there exist some apparent universal relations which can describe the dynamical properties in galaxies. In particular, the radial acceleration relation (RAR) is one of the most popular relations discovered recently which can be regarded as a universal law to connect the dynamical radial acceleration with the baryonic acceleration in galaxies. This has revealed an unexpected close connection between dark matter and baryonic matter in galaxies. In this article, by following the recent robust Galactic rotation curve analyses, we derive the Galactic RAR (GRAR) and show for the first time that it deviates from the alleged universal RAR at more than $5σ$. This provides a strong evidence to falsify the universal nature of RAR in galaxies claimed in past studies. |
