Plot Twist: There’s No Dark Matter. Our Theory of Gravity is Broken

Ғылым және технология

It has been 90 years since the concept of dark matter was introduced in astronomy. It lies at the heart of the most successful cosmology model, the LCDM model. However, even after a century, astronomers struggle to know the true nature of dark matter. Even the Standard Model of particle physics is silent about it. Several experiments on dark matter have returned empty-handed. This raises a critical question: What if there's no dark matter? What if there's a fundamental flaw in our understanding of gravity itself?
Some physicists are trying to develop a new theory of gravity that explains galaxy rotation curves without needing dark matter. And the latest study shows that one such modified theory called AQUAL can explain galaxy rotation curves better than the LCDM model.
The 47th episode of the Sunday Discovery Series explains the discovery and the paper in detail.

    The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't, by subtracting where it is, from where it isn't, or where it isn't, from where it is, whichever is greater, it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance sub-system uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is, to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position where it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event of the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has required a variation. The variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too, may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.

    @@YouReadMyName Hm I am not entirely sure I follow you here. We know that the speed of light in a vacuum is a constant. Thus, it will remain the same unless it goes to another medium. Now, the reason why physicists put the speed of light at the center of everything is because it is a constant. Physicists always try to "link" their equations/theories to constants (things we know are always going to have a very specific value and are intrinsically linked to our universe). Now, how do we know the speed of light is a constant? We have Maxwell's equations and Einstein's thought experiments/relativity to prove it. So light can't magically slow down at the edges of a galaxy or somewhere (unless it changes medium). So the fabric of space and time and relativity how we know it requires the speed of light to be constant.

    The ultimate criteria for a new model being used is: does it more accurately predict what we would see in the aspect you need better than the previous model. The process to go from an Earth centric to a Sun centric model started with Copernicus and ended with Kepler and Newton because the new model became better than the old model. The same thing will happen but it will take time and patience to get a new model right.

    Exactly. And that's why I really dislike video titles like "new JWST data destroy Big Bang theory" or something similar. With the usual cosmologists from the YT university who all have known always that the BBT was wrong and their model is much better. That their model does not encompass many other observations they simply have never heard of because they never really did research, who cares. They have their model and they are right. And up to now, all observations point to a Big Bang. A new model must include all previous observations. That usually negates a model that is completely and radically different. A good example is Newtonion gravity vs. Einstein theory of relativity. Einstein's new theory was revolutionary, but in the end if you set the right boundary conditions (e.g. objects with speed below roughly 10% c) you are back at newtonian gravity. And if there ever will be a new model of how the universe came into existence, it will be some form of Big Bang. Maybe not in the sense as we know it today, but today's BBT will be a part of the new model.

    It obviously works backwards in this case. You observe something that your theory does not predict, so you invoke more dark matter or other dark things. The problem with such a theory is that it cannot be invalidated. There would be still something dark that went unobserved that explains the observed data.

    That's the problem. The thing that makes general relativity so accepted is the fact that it predicts many phenomenon for which it wasn't specifically designed to explain. I do believe early forms of relativity *were* designed to explain away the existence of an "ether" continuum that could carry electromagnetic waves. The Lorentz transformations were originally seen as "fudge factors to make the equations work". Until Einstein took it a step farther that was all it was. Relativity wasn't fully accepted as a complete theory until Einstein formulated it in a specific way that predicted all kinds of things from gravitational bending of light to mass-energy equivalence. So far there just isn't a similar "grand theory of gravity" that explains many different phenomenon. A formulation macro-gravity that only works well for galaxy rotation speeds just isn't very robust.

The amount of lensing that occurs also lines up almost exactly with the increase in mass we'd expect for increased rotational rate of galaxies. modifying the laws of gravity doesn't explain lensing, but the "simpler" guess that dark matter is there does explain both rotation rate and lensing distortion factor, at the same time, and their quantities, both of which line up to explain what's going on nearly perfectly. the fitted model can do slightly better at one, but totally doesn't acknowledge the other at all. :)

    If photons gradually lengthened their wavelength per unit distance travelled (very gradually), it would create a second form of red shift (in addition to Doppler), and account for the universe 'appearing' to expand, and if the wave lengthened enough it would be virtually undetectable - but it would still exist.

    I always thought something like this might be at play....we notice it everywhere over vast distances as if doppler is happening on a scale we didn't account for and for the layman at least would appear there's just an unaccounted for shift in the wavelengths of light. Maybe it's tied into the way light behaves both as particles and as waves....I'm sure scientists have done their best to account for this but still many mysteries abound.

    Alternative Explanation of Dark Matter and Dark Energy - Newly proposed model of Universe can explain both of Dark Matter and Dark Energy Einstein’s theory of General Relativity states that spacetime is curved by the presence of mass. This curvature influences the motion other objects with mass and gives rise to gravitation. Thus, gravity is a result of geometric features in spacetime. However, we also observe gravitational effects - curvature of spacetime - in areas without any detectable mass. This has given rise to the concept of dark matter, which is matter that does not interact in any detectable way with normal matter, except through gravity. So, there is some large quantity of dark matter scattered throughout the universe, which curves spacetime and causes gravitational effects just like normal matter, but we cannot see or detect it with any known method. An alternative theory to the identity of dark matter is proposed - it is not matter at all, but rather an intrinsic curvature of spacetime. In other words, spacetime is not naturally flat. Even in the absence of matter, we observe some inherent curvature of spacetime. So, the question is now - why is spacetime naturally curved? Why is it not flat in the absence of mass? The universe is 4-dimensional, with 3 spatial dimensions and one dimension in time. Rather than consider time as a linear dimension, we can consider it as a radial one. Therefore, rather than describing the universe with a Cartesian coordinate system, we describe it with a 4-dimensional spherical coordinate system - 3 angular coordinates, φ1, φ2, φ3, and one radial coordinate in time, t. We live on the 3-dimensional surface of a 4-dimensional bubble which is expanding radially in time. Thus, the Big Bang represents t=0, the beginning of time. The crucial point is that the expansion of the universe is not homogeneous in all directions. The expansion rate at one point on the bubble’s surface may differ slightly from another point near it. The universe is only roughly spherical in 4 dimensions, the same way that the Earth is only roughly spherical in 3 dimensions. The same way we observe local mountains and valleys on the surface of Earth, we observe local “mountains” and “valleys” on the surface of the universe bubble. The inhomogeneity of the expansion of the universe has given rise to natural curvature of spacetime. This natural curvature causes the phenomenon of “dark matter”. “Valleys” in spacetime pull matter in, similarly to the warping of spacetime of massive objects. So “dark matter” is really “valleys” in spacetime that are expanding slower than the regions surrounding it. These valleys tend to pull matter in and create planets, stars, and galaxies - regions of space with higher-than-average densities of mass. Conversely, “mountains” in spacetime will repel matter away, an “anti-gravitational” effect, which gives rise to cosmic voids in space where we observe no matter. Each point on the surface of the universe bubble traces out a time arrow in 4-dimensional space, perpendicular to the surface. These time arrows are not parallel to each other since the universe is not flat. This causes points to have nonzero relative velocity away from each other. It is generally accepted that the universe is expanding faster than observable energy can explain, and this is expansion is believe to be still accelerating. The “missing” energy required to explain these observations has given rise to the theory of dark energy. The time dilation caused by non-parallel time arrows can be proposed as an explanation for dark energy. Alternatively, dark energy is real energy coming from potential energy gradients caused by non-parallel time arrows. As a sanity check, we can calculate the expansion rate of the universe based on the universe bubble model. Since the radius of the universe bubble is expanding at the speed of light in the time direction, it increases at 1 light second per second. Therefore, the “circumference” of the 3-dimensional surface increases by 2π light seconds per second, or about 1.88*10^6 km/s. This expansion is distributed equally across the 3-dimensional surface, so the actual observed expansion rate is proportional to the distance from the observer. At present, the age of the universe is estimated to be 13.8 billion years, so the radius of the universe bubble is 13.8 billion light years, or about 4233 megaparsecs (3.26 million light years to 1 Mpc). Thus, we can calculate the expansion rate of the universe, per megaparsec from the observer, as: Expansion rate = ((d(circumference))/dt)/radiusofuniverse=(1.88*〖10〗^6 km⁄s)/(2π*4233Mpc)=(1.88*〖10〗^6 km⁄s)/26598Mpc=70.82(km⁄s)/Mpc The popularly accepted empirical expansion rate is 73.5 +/- 2.5 km/s/Mpc, so our calculated value is close. There may be some additional source of expansion (or observed red shift) to make up for the discrepancy. For example, if two adjacent points have some gravitational gradient due to non-parallel time arrows, then light passing through these points will be red-shifted. - Cited from www.academia.edu/82481487/Title_Alternative_Explanation_of_Dark_Matter_and_Dark_Energy

To simplify if there was only Baryonic matter there, they would have observed the lensing in a smaller area(or the gas left from when the galaxies passed thru each other), but what was actually observed was two separate lensing areas (the weakly interacting dark matter would have just passed thru)

    Another thing is that matter does not orbit the centers of galaxies as such to produce a rotation curve that requires dark matter in the first place. If the matter orbit is more elliptical, i.e. it goes from the edge toward the center and then back to the edge, then the resulting rotation curve would be largely static as it appears based on observations. Any discrepancies at this point could be attributed to innate electromagnetic field generated by the galaxy itself, mostly the much denser inner core.

    ~ NOTE: Take in mind that Electromagnetism & Gravity, both have infinite ranges, as you read the following. ~ A perfectly spherical black hole has an equally spherical electromagnetic & gravitational signature, which makes them relatively indistinguishable in size from each other. However when the black hole assumes the shape of a gravitational accretion disk, then the electromagnetic properties & characteristics also equally transform into a jet stream. (The shape transformation is due to the colour & density size signature of the particular object, with the strong & weak force determining the limits, ie...a quasar is larger than a galaxy, a galaxy is larger than a solar system, etc...therefore their colour & density shape & size signatures are different, yet uniquely distinguishable) ie...a quasar is larger than a galaxy, a galaxy is larger than a solar system, etc...therefore their colour & density shape & size signatures are different, yet uniquely distinguishable) Since the electromagnetic & gravitational signatures are still relevently relative to each other, then they are balanced & equilibrated around their center of gravity & electromagnetic signatures. And as the shape of the black hole relative to the electromagnetic stream changes, from the point of the center of the gravitational & electromagnetic signature, then this causes the gravitational lens effect, as well as the electromagnetic lens effect. Of which both consequences are the temporal dilation & the spatial contraction effects. ~ All the so called missing dark matter is out there, hidden in plain sight, only further out in the void of space, as it encompasses all possible matter, including visible & not visible matter. The same goes for any missing electromagnetic radiation, it is hidden in plain sight, as it also reaches further out into the vacuum void of space, beyond visible & not visible light, to us.

    "dark matter" has never sat right with me.

It's similar to quantum mechanics/particle physics for me. Big elaborate interpretations like many-worlds or Copenhagen are all the rage, but in the end I think it's going to be something more "boring", like pilot wave (de Broglie/Bohm), it's just that the idea of many-worlds, or all these crazy probability states that collapse when observed are more enticing because it gets our imaginations going. Of course pilot-wave has its own set of problems (non-locality for instance), but I feel like, yet again, our imaginations are tripping us up.

    It is acutally anything but. We found Neptune and Pluto because our data implied there is more matter than we know. It told us how much it is and where to look for it. Is the same method that led to the postulation of dark matter. The data seems to point to some matter that seems to be distributed as if it only interacts with gravity but not with the electromagnetic force. The latter is also the reason why we can't see it (if it exists) and struggle to find it, but this isn't a cheap excuse, it is predicted by the data (if it is a particle). The Standard Model has a hole in the shape of duck, that quacks like a duck. Predicting a duck might turn out to be wrong, but it is not a cop-out.

Whoever made this video is likely not a practicing physicist. ANY new theory has to presuppose curved space (i could go into a whole explanation of why space is curved and how we know it to be true). GR is first, and thus far only, theory of gravity that explains WHY gravity obeys an inverse square law - something Newtonian gravity doesn't do. Any new theory also has to retain the possibility of wormholes to help account for the non-locality inherent in quantum entanglement. Does AWOL do any of that? Yeah. Click bait video!

    Yes, this is where all forms of modified gravity fall apart. Dark matter's final test was finding galaxies with very little, and galaxies with a larger amount. Both have been discovered now. We've found galaxies with very little dark matter that behave in a completely newtonian way. Modified gravity would not allow this. Dark matter does because we just say "That galaxy has none because reasons".

And there are voids that have very strong "Dark Matter Phenomena". This means MOND would need to explain empty space having lots of gravity. Mind you, these are extreme outliers that they're still investigating. Always possible there's an observation error somewhere that gave erroneous results.

    Given that General Relativity is a better model for things like the orbit of Mercury and gravitational lensing, has anyone tried using that instead of Newtonian Mechanics for the rotation of galaxies to see if that can explain the observations? For example, Special and General Relativistic effects are needed to accurately keep time in GPS satelites. I know that Newtonian Mechanics is easier to compute, but it is known to be inaccurate in high gravitation fields. -- For example, it could be that the presence of supermasive blackholes in the centre of galaxies are affecting the rotation. And/or some other effect due to the distribution of mass in a galaxy that is warping spacetime, especially as more mass is concentrated toward the centre of the galaxy and that galaxies are rotating. Thus, the resulting spacetime will also be rotating like in LIGO observed and modelled two blackhole mergers. -- This would have the effect that the inner part of the galaxy is more "twisty" than the outer part, and the drop off in speed could be the point at which that "twistyness" drops off.

A black hole is the pencil puncturing the fabric of space-time. While the black hole spins, the fabric is pulled and twisted thus, making the outer stars at orbit at a faster rate than expected.

Or maybe a better way to put it is that the effects can be felt more strongly at distance. So on our scale (like our solar system) it works like we think it does normally, but once you get to galactic scale, it works a bit differently.

    While alternations to Newtonian mechanics do produce a lot of interesting alternatives to dark matter, and are able to predict the orbits of stars correctly, they tend to fall short in other regards. Namely certain observed phenomena like gravitational lensing, mentioned in the video. As breifly mentioned, there's also the problem with galaxy clusters, more precisely the average squared velocity of them, which is much greater than what is needed to achieve escape velocity from the cluster if only the observable matter is there. There is also the formation of complex structures in the universe where it is impossible for the level of complexity we observe today to be present if there were only electrically charged, and coupled, particles in the early universe. Which protons and electrons are. ΛCDM isn't a perfect model, a lot of cosmologists take issue with the cosmological constant for instance.

Scientists noticed they could put a ringing bell in a vacuum, and no sound could be heard. What perplexed them was they could still see the bell and motion. This was a big deal because they assumed photons would need a medium to travel, but there was no medium for sound. This led to scientists believing there was an unknown "ether" in the universe that light must be using. It actually took a long time to understand that photons can just pass through a vacuum.

It's what my eyes expected to see happen when I was watching the animation. When a wheel rotates, the outer rim has to move faster because it covers more distance in the same time, since the thing is moving as a unit. So if the galaxy were retaining it's spiral shape, wouldn't that mean the outer edges have to moving as fast or faster?

    I too am fascinated with these and many new theories although I am often amused at how so many in the science community pitch the theories and ultimately sell as though it is irrefutable fact we all must accept. Then a few years and studies go by and “oops…no we were wrong but…this NEW one now is definitely FACT!” I’ve no problem whatsoever with theories disproving past ones, it’s an evolution but I laugh when any are spoken of as definitive and so many are. They are…until they’re not. All cool stuff though.

    What comes to mind for me is that there's a hidden force at work. What I envision is a quantum force similar to entanglement in which distant objects 'communicate' with each other... This communication becomes a pull as the objects are further apart, as they continue to want to communicate instantly. As the objects are further apart, however, this communication becomes more difficult. The distant objects pull on each other in their effort to remain connected. In this way, greater force is exhibited as a consequence of greater distance, resulting in what 'appears' to be a violation of the inverse square law.

The very fact that both entangled particles move simultaneously, despite the distance IS a form of communication, despite what anyone says, whether WE can know that the other entangled object moved simultaneously, or NOT! Adding to what I stated earlier, when observations (such as complex stars & large galaxies in the newly formed universe), those observations MUST be taken into account. Occham's Razor states that the simplest theory that takes ALL reputable observations into account is likely to be correct, DESPITE it's deviation from previous explanations.

Otherwise, they're no longer entangled. Direct evidence of those changes (other than the fact that both objects are constantly changing) from the distant object is unavailable. However, IF both objects continue to be entangled, they would need to respond to the changes of their partner (or how can we say that they're entangled?) The independent confirmation of the other object's change is subject to SOL restrictions. Nevertheless (what I'm calling information) is the simultaneous changes each experience themselves, not their confirmation.

As long as it is EXACTLY galaxy spin speeds and nothing else. In which case Dark matter is a very effective working theory, where everything works with it.

    This morning I was sitting here looking out my window and viewing the trees in the distance, and I had a revelation. The irregularities in the glass pane gave me an idea. I could see that somtimes the trees were magnified if the light from them passed through a part of the glass that was thicker, like a lens. It seems to me that this could account for the "gravitational lensing" that is seen when light comes from distant galaxies. Some have said that this is evidence of "dark matter", but I believe it could simply be irregularities in space itself, caused by the distortion of space-time when in close proximity to normal matter. This distortion would cluster around a galaxy and could account for the outside of a galaxy moving faster than predicted by Newtonian gravity, as witnessed by Fritz Zwicky. The space-time would be "thicker" toward the center of the gravitational mass of the galaxy, and would result in a higher than calculated "attraction" of the outer arms of the galaxy, making them speed faster as they rotate around. For the Einsteinian view, the space-time curvature would be stronger toward the center of the galaxy, making the galaxy's outer arms curve more toward the center of the mass. If the Big Bang theory is true, then at the point in time when all matter and energy was created, space-time was also created, and started to expand outward. Space, being something, would be expanding into the "nothingness" of what was there before. It would be like throwing a high concentration of gas into a vacuum chamber. The gas would expand rapidly outward. Another analogy could be like opening a clock and freeing the clockspring to unwind. But in the case of space-time the outward expansion goes on forever, because there is no boundary to restrain it. This represents a tremendous amount of energy, because space is a tremendous pressure. This is referred to as "Dark Energy". This is what is pushing all of the universe away from us, which is why all of the "red shift" we see when looking out into space. For us now, locally, space is restrained by the space near it, but in the beginning there was no space near to restrain the expansion. So, in that beginning there was a wild amount of expansion right off the bat. This could be the "inflation" that has been postulated by some scientists. But the expansion of space will continue to go on forever.

    You are describing gravitational lensing... we know this happens around matter and measure that's effects. But the issue is there is *more* than can be accounted for by the visible mass. Visible matter "thickens" the glass, and magnifies the tree. But we can see how thick the glass is, and for some reason we're getting more magnification than we should. It's magnificent as if it was twice as thick. And for some reason when we weigh the glass (look at something completely unrelated like how fast the galaxy is spinning) it happens to also be twice as heavy as it should. So all our measurements point to it being twice as thick, and twice as heavy... but for some reason we can't see why. Adding some glass that we somehow cannot see fixes the problem, and it behaves consistently, but it's rather strange we can't see it but only measure it through it's mass. We don't know what that is so we give it a name "invisible glass" and try find further evidence to show whether it does or does not exist.

    Dark matter can be explained as the superpositional footprint of all mass particles in the system. This footprint is described in parallel world history sheets that describe all possible degrees of freedom as defined by their energy density as in relation the monadic Planck volume. The reason it’s dark is because photons are isolated to the objective frame you are experiencing. The dark superpositional footprint of all particles in a system can be calculated and will make predictions in a logically proportional way. The many worlds of QM is literal, and it is only objective reference frames (or quantum history sheets) that partition them off from one another. The cosmos is Omni dimensional from this view, and finite slices of this whole is how we define our moment to moment reference frame. All of these finite reference frames sum to the whole of the bulk space. Conclusion, the universe we experience is finite and generative for all observers, however these finite sheets sum to a value that approaches the highest order of infinity. Where GR needs extension is through the many other combinations of parallel world sheets that are always shedding from the single origin point of any finite reference frame. Therefore, spacetime has a gradient density, like pinching a sponge from the inside, the base units (Planck volumes) rearrange based on the amount of energy the mass particle is borrowing from the underlying quantum vaccum. That vaccum is an Omni dimensional scalar field (a master fractal) that derived its units from pure geometry. Perfect omnipresent cosmic symmetry is always exalted in the infinite transcendent space, and that symmetry is constantly breaking to generate the finite reference frames of its finite inhabitants.

Also the cosmic rays (In particular protons and neutrons) expelled by super novae also at nearly the speed of light. Remember as matter approaches the speed of light it's mass increases nearly exponentially. I have seen studies of cosmic rays (identified as a proton) striking the Earth that impacted the atmosphere with the force of a 90 MPH baseball. Working backwards that proton was going so fast that in a race with a photon from 5 light years away, the proton would arrive 3 seconds later.
