Dark matter, a new proof of the predictive power of general relativity (1503.07440v4)

Published 24 Mar 2015 in physics.gen-ph and gr-qc

Abstract: Without observational or theoretical modifications, Newtonian and general relativity seem to be unable to explain gravitational behavior of large structure of the universe. The assumption of dark matter solves this problem without modifying theories. But it implies that most of the matter in the universe must be unobserved matter. Another solution is to modify gravitation laws. In this article, we study a third way that doesn't modify gravitation neither matter's distribution, by using a new physical assumption on the clusters. Compare with Newtonian gravitation, general relativity (in its linearized approximation) leads to add a new component without changing the gravity field. As already known, this component for galaxies is too small to explain dark matter. But we will see that the galaxies' clusters can generate a significant component and embed large structure of universe. We show that the magnitude of this embedding component is small enough to be in agreement with current experimental results, undetectable at our scale, but detectable at the scale of the galaxies and explain dark matter, in particular the rotation speed of galaxies, the rotation speed of dwarf satellite galaxies, the expected quantity of dark matter inside galaxies and the expected experimental values of parameters $\Omega$_dm of dark matter measured in CMB. This solution implies testable consequences that differentiate it from other theories: decreasing dark matter with the distance to the cluster's center, large quantity of dark matter for galaxies close to the cluster's center, isolation of galaxies without dark matter, movement of dwarf satellite galaxies in planes close to the supergalactic plane, close orientations of spin's vectors of two close clusters, orientation of nearly all the spin's vector of galaxies of a same cluster in a same half-space, existence of very rare galaxies with two portions of their disk that rotate in opposite directions...
