Abstract In Chapter 5 we already noted that it appears that a large fraction of the matter in the universe is dark (i.e. non-luminous) matter. The need to postulate such dark matter was noted as early as the 1930s by Zwicky, who observed that galaxies in the Coma cluster seemed to be moving too rapidly to be held together by the gravitational attraction of the visible matter. Obviously, we can hardly be satisfied with our picture of the universe until the nature and distribution of such vast quantities of matter has been settled. For example, an important question is whether this dark matter is in the form of new types of (stable) elementary particle, which have been roaming around since the earliest stages of the Big Bang: and if so, what are such particles, and why have we not met with them in accelerator experiments? Or, could it be that some of the dark matter is agglomerated in the form of non-luminous stellar objects made out of the same matter as ordinary stars, or as mini black holes or whatever? According to present ideas, the quark and lepton constituents of matter with which we are familiar in experiments at accelerators, produced in the numbers foreseen by the model of nucleosynthesis in the early universe described in Chapter 6, can account for only about 4% of the present energy density of the universe. Dark matter is estimated to account for some 20% of the total energy density, but the bulk of the energy density—that is, some 76%—has to be assigned to ‘dark energy’, which in Chapter 5 was identified with vacuum energy. However, the true source of the dark energy—like that of the dark matter—is unknown at present.

Holographic dark energy interacting with two fluids and validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics

  • Ujjal Debnath

We have considered a cosmological model of holographic dark energy interacting with dark matter and another unknown component of dark energy of the universe. We have assumed two interaction terms Q and Q′ in order to include the scenario in which the mutual interaction between the two principal components (i.e., holographic dark energy and dark matter) of the universe leads to some loss in other forms of cosmic constituents. Our model is valid for any sign of Q and Q′. If Q<Q′, then part of the dark energy density decays into dark matter and the rest in the other unknown energy density component. But if Q>Q′, then dark matter energy receives from dark energy and from the unknown component of dark energy. Observation suggests that dark energy decays into dark matter. Here we have presented a general prescription of a cosmological model of dark energy which imposes mutual interaction between holographic dark energy, dark matter and another fluid. We have obtained the equation of state for the holographic dark energy density which is interacting with dark matter and other unknown component of dark energy. Using first law of thermodynamics, we have obtained the entropies for holographic dark energy, dark matter and other component of dark energy, when holographic dark energy interacting with two fluids (i.e., dark matter and other component of dark energy). Also we have found the entropy at the horizon when the radius (L) of the event horizon measured on the sphere of the horizon. We have investigated the GSL of thermodynamics at the present time for the universe enveloped by this horizon. Finally, it has been obtained validity of GSL which implies some bounds on deceleration parameter q.

An Ordinary Matter and Celestial Objects Interaction with Dark Fabric Matter and Energy
  • Dec 31, 2024
  • Engineering and Technology Journal
  • Sabir Sadiq

In this work, I shall figure out the general structure of dark fabric matter, and the direct interactions of the celestial objects, ordinary matter, and ordinary energy with dark fabric matter and energy. Dark Fabric matter and energy is a hidden dimension of the parallel universes, visible Universe, galaxies, Atoms, molecules, ordinary matter, celestial objects, stellar systems, and Planetary systems. The Main Structure of Dark fabric matter consists of the Dark matter particles called Fabriton particles, Dark Matter Strings, and Dark Matter Webs. The dark matter particles are named fabriton particles. Fabriton means Fast actively binding reacting in total objects naturally. Fabriton is a good proposed name for dark matter particles to be recognized among subatomic particles. The mystery of Dark matter and the dark energy could be solved here entirely. Einstein and Newton built clear mathematical equations to describe the nature of gravity, after them many other people worked warmly to resolve the reality of gravity, dark matter, and dark energy. Gravity is the ripples, curvatures, gravitational waves, and tunnels that form rapidly in the structure of dark fabric matter and energy when celestial objects and ordinary matter particles pass through it directly.

Couplings between holographic dark energy and dark matter

  • Yin-Zhe Ma + 2 more

We consider the interaction between dark matter and dark energy in the framework of holographic dark energy, and propose a natural and physically plausible form of interaction, in which the interacting term is proportional to the product of the powers of the dark matter and dark energy densities. We investigate the cosmic evolution in such models. The impact of the coupling on the dark matter and dark energy components may be asymmetric. While the dark energy decouples from the dark matter at late time, just as other components of the cosmic fluid become decoupled as the universe expands, interestingly, the dark matter may actually become coupled to the dark energy at late time. We shall name such a phenomenon as "incoupling". We use the latest type Ia supernovae data from the SCP team, baryon acoustics oscillation data from SDSS and 2dF surveys, and the position of the first peak of the CMB angular power spectrum to constrain the model. We find that the interaction term which is proportional to the the first power product of the dark energy and dark matter densities gives excellent fit to the current data.

A Model of Dark Matter and Dark Energy Based on Relativizing Newton’s Physics
  • Jan 1, 2018
  • World Journal of Condensed Matter Physics
  • Ramzi Suleiman

The nature and properties of dark matter and dark energy in the universe are among the outstanding open issues of modern cosmology. Despite extensive theoretical and empirical efforts, the question “what is dark matter made of?” has not been answered satisfactorily. Candidates proposed to identify particle dark matter span over ninety orders of magnitude in mass, from ultra-light bosons, to massive black holes. Dark energy is a greater enigma. It is believed to be some kind of negative vacuum energy, responsible for driving galaxies apart in accelerated motion. In this article we take a relativistic approach in theorizing about dark matter and dark energy. Our approach is based on our recently proposed Information Relativity theory. Rather than theorizing about the identities of particle dark matter candidates, we investigate the relativistic effects on large scale celestial structures at their recession from an observer on Earth. We analyze a simplified model of the universe, in which large scale celestial bodies, like galaxies and galaxy clusters, are non-charged compact bodies that recede rectilinearly along the line-of-sight of an observer on Earth. We neglect contributions to dark matter caused by the rotation of celestial structures (e.g., the rotation of galaxies) and of their constituents (e.g., rotations of stars inside galaxies). We define the mass of dark matter as the complimentary portion of the derived relativistic mass, such that at any given recession velocity the sum of the two is equal to the Newtonian mass. The emerging picture from our analysis could be summarized as follows: 1) At any given redshift, the dark matter of a receding body exists in duality to its observable matter. 2) The dynamical interaction between the dark and the observed matter is determined by the body’s recession velocity (or redshift). 3) The observable matter mass density decreases with its recession velocity, with matter transforming to dark matter. 4) For redshifts z 0.5 the universe is dominated by dark matter. 5) Consistent with observational data, at redshift z = 0.5, the densities of matter and dark matter in the universe are predicted to be equal. 6) At redshift equaling the Golden Ratio (z ≈ 1.618), baryonic matter undergoes a quantum phase transition. The universe at higher redshifts is comprised of a dominant dark matter alongside with quantum matter. 7) Contrary to the current conjecture that dark energy is a negative vacuum energy that might interact with dark matter, comparisons of our theoretical results with observational results of ΛCDM cosmologies, and with observations of the relative densities of matter and dark energy at redshift z ≈ 0.55, allow us to conclude that dark energy is the energy carried by dark matter. 8) Application of the model to the case of rotating bodies, which will be discussed in detail in a subsequent paper, raises the intriguing possibility that the gravitational force between two bodies of mass is mediated by the entanglement of their dark matter components.

Extended Bose–Einstein condensate dark matter in viscous Gauss–Bonnet gravity
  • Nov 30, 2022
  • Modern Physics Letters A
  • E Mahichi + 2 more

In this paper, we study the [Formula: see text] gravity model with an interacting model by flat-FRW metric in a viscous fluid. We consider that the universe dominates with components of dark matter and dark energy. This means that the dark matter component derives from Extended Bose–Einstein Condensate (EBEC) and the components of dark energy arise from the [Formula: see text] gravity. After obtaining the Einstein equation, the energy density and the pressure of dark energy are written in terms of the geometry of the curvature and the Gauss–Bonnet terms, and components of dark matter and viscous fluid. Also, the corresponding continuity equations are written with the presence of interaction terms. In what follows, we employ the EBEC regime instead of the normal dark matter by the dark matter Equation of State (EoS) as [Formula: see text], which arises from the gravitational form. The EoS can be expressed from the perspective of the virial expansion, in which the first and second terms represent normal dark matter and quantum ground state. Next, the corresponding Friedmann equations reconstruct in terms of the redshift parameter, then by using the scenario of the power-law cosmology for the scale factor, we fit the present model with the Hubble amounts of 51 supernova data by the likelihood analysis. In that case, we acquire the cosmological parameters of dark energy in terms of the redshift parameter, and by plotting these graphs, we see that the universe is currently undergoing an accelerated expansion phase. Finally, we investigate the stability of the present model with the sound speed parameter.

Dark sector unifications: Dark matter-phantom energy, dark matter - constant w dark energy, dark matter-dark energy-dark matter
  • Jul 25, 2019
  • Physics Letters B
  • Dalibor Perković + 1 more

The paper brings a novel approach to unification of dark matter and dark energy in terms of a cosmic fluid. A model is introduced in which the cosmic fluid speed of sound squared is defined as a function of its equation of state (EoS) parameter. It is shown how logarithmic part of this function results in dynamical regimes previously not observed in cosmic fluid models. It is shown that in a particular dynamical regime the model behaves as a unification of dark matter and phantom dark energy. Further, it is shown that the model may describe dark matter - dark energy unification in which dark energy asymptotically behaves as dark energy with a constant EoS parameter larger than −1. In a specific parameter regime the unified fluid model also reproduces global expansion similar to ΛCDM model with fluid speed of sound vanishing for small scale factor values and being small, or even vanishing, for large scale factor values. Finally, it is shown how the model may be instrumental in describing the cosmic fluid dark matter-dark energy-dark matter unification. Physical constraints on model parameters yielding such transient dark energy behavior are obtained.

Dark energy scaling from dark matter to acceleration
  • Aug 29, 2014
  • Physical Review D
  • Jannis Bielefeld + 2 more

The dark sector of the Universe need not be completely separable into distinct dark matter and dark energy components. We consider a model of early dark energy in which the dark energy mimics a dark matter component in both evolution and perturbations at early times. Barotropic aether dark energy scales as a fixed fraction, possibly greater than one, of the dark matter density and has vanishing sound speed at early times before undergoing a transition. This gives signatures not only in cosmic expansion but in sound speed and inhomogeneities, and in number of effective neutrino species. Model parameters describe the timing, sharpness of the transition, and the relative abundance at early times. Upon comparison with current data, we find viable regimes in which the dark energy behaves like dark matter at early times: for transitions well before recombination the dark energy to dark matter fraction can equal or exceed unity, while for transitions near recombination the ratio can only be a few percent. After the transition, dark energy goes its separate way, ultimately driving cosmic acceleration and approaching a cosmological constant in this scenario.

The basic blocks of the universe matter: Boltzmann fundamental particle and energy quanta of dark matter and dark energy
  • Jan 1, 2011
  • Natural Science
  • Murad Shibli + 1 more

Recent astronomical NASA observations indicates that visible matter contributes only to about 4% of the universe total energy density, meanwhile, dark matter and dark energy contributes to 26% and 70% of the universe total energy, respectively, with an average density close to 10–26 kg/m3. This paper proposes an equation of state of dark energy and dark matter as one unified entity. This equation is derived based on the ideal gas equation, Boltzmann constant, Einstein energy-mass principle and based on the assumption that dark energy and dark matter behave as a perfect fluid. This analysis presents what could be the most fundamental particle and quanta of dark matter and dark energy. Considering NASA’s Cosmic Microwave Background Explorer (CMB) which estimated that the sky has an average temperature close to 2.7251 Kelvin, then the equivalent mass and energy of the proposed fundamental particle is determined. It is found that this candidate particle has an equivalent mass of 4.2141 × 10–40 Kg which is equivalent to 3.7674 × 10–23 J. Surprisingly, this value has the same order of Boltzmann constant KB = 1.38 ×10–23 J/K. This candidate particle could be the most fundamental and lightest particle in Nature and serves as the basic block of matter (quarks and gluons). Moreover, assuming a uniform space dark energy/dark matter density, then the critical temperature at which the dark matter has a unity entity per volume is determined as 34.983 × 1012 K. Analytically, it proposes that at this trillion temperature scale, the dark matter particles unified into a new quark-hydron particle. Finally, tentative experimental verification can be con ducted using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).

DARK MATTER, DARK ENERGY, AND FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS
  • Jul 1, 2000
  • Michael S Turner

More than sixty years ago Zwicky made the case that the great clusters of galaxies are held together by the gravitational force of unseen (dark) matter. Today, the case is stronger and more precise: Dark, nonbaryonic matter accounts for 30% +/- 7% of the critical mass density, with baryons (most of which are dark) contributing only 4.5% +/- 0.5% of the critical density. The large-scale structure that exists in the Universe indicates that the bulk of the nonbaryonic dark matter must be cold (slowly moving particles). The SuperKamiokande detection of neutrino oscillations shows that particle dark matter exists, crossing an important threshold. Over the past few years a case has developed for a dark-energy problem. This dark component contributes about 80% +/- 20% of the critical density and is characterized by very negative pressure (p_X &lt; -0.6 rho_X). Consistent with this picture of dark energy and dark matter are measurements of CMB anisotropy that indicate that total contribution of matter and energy is within 10% of the critical density. Fundamental physics beyond the standard model is implicated in both the dark matter and dark energy puzzles: new fundamental particles (e.g., axion or neutralino) and new forms of relativistic energy (e.g., vacuum energy or a light scalar field). A flood of observations will shed light on the dark side of the Universe over the next two decades; as it does it will advance our understanding of the Universe and the laws of physics that govern it.

Observational constraints on interacting dark energy models with multiple measurements of quasars

Dark energy and dark matter, two subjects of basic physics, have received a lot of attention in the 21st century. From the observational point of view, the interaction between dark energy and dark matter can significantly affect cosmological distances. This gives rise to the possibility of indirectly detecting such interaction through high-redshift cosmological probes. Theoretically, the introduction of interaction between dark energy and dark matter can assist in alleviating the coincidence problem of the standard cosmological model ($\Lambda$CDM model). Furthermore, this can provide a new method of studying the properties of dark matter particles. In this paper, based on the latest observations of multiple measurements of quasars (X-ray+UV quasars acting as standard candles, compact radio quasars acting as standard rulers) covering the redshift range of $0.04~&lt;~z~&lt;~5.1$ and baryonic acoustic oscillation between ($0.38~&lt;~z~&lt;~2.34$), we investigate the observational constraints on a variety of interacting dark energy models ($\gamma_d~$IDE model, $\gamma_m~$IDE model) and other cosmological models ($\Lambda$CDM model, XCDM model). The results provide us with a quantitative analysis of the possible interaction between dark energy and dark matter, as well as the possible range of the mass of dark matter particles. The joint analysis shows that: (1) Multiple measurements of quasars can provide more stringent constraints on the interacting dark energy models, which can further strengthen the potential of quasars acting as effective cosmological standard probes at higher redshifts; (2) In the framework of both $\gamma_m$IDE model and $\gamma_d$IDE model, the quasar data supports possible conversion of dark energy into dark matter at high redshift, which alleviates the coincidence problem to some extent. We also found that the interaction term is of a small value, which demonstrates the negligible interaction between dark matter and dark energy; (3) In the framework of $\Lambda$CDM model, which has shown the best consistency with quasar data, the density parameter of matter in the Universe is constrained at $\Omega_~m=0.317^{+0.007}_{-0.007}$, with the best-fit Hubble constant $H_0=68.177^{+0.497}_{-0.505}$ at 68.3% confidence level. These findings are consistent with the recent microwave background radiation (CMB) measurements from the Planck satellite; (4) If dark matter in the Universe exists in the form of scalar-field dark matter with $Z_2$ symmetry, we obtain the range of the mass of dark matter particles as $56~{\rm~GeV}\lesssim~m_S\lesssim~63~{\rm~GeV}$ or $m_S\gtrsim450~{\rm~GeV}$, based on the dark energy-dark matter coupling term from multiple measurements of quasars. Such conclusions agree well with the latest experimental results aimed at the direct detection of dark matter particles.

Can dark matter\u2013dark energy interaction alleviate the cosmic coincidence problem?
  • Mar 1, 2022
  • The European Physical Journal C
  • J F Jesus + 3 more

In this paper we study a model of interacting dark energy–dark matter where the ratio between these components is not constant, changing from early to late times in such a way that the model can solve or alleviate the cosmic coincidence problem (CP). The interaction arises from an assumed relation of the form rho _xpropto rho _d^alpha , where rho _x and rho _d are the energy densities of dark energy and dark matter components, respectively, and alpha is a free parameter. For a dark energy equation of state parameter w=-1 we found that, if alpha =0, the standard Lambda CDM model is recovered, where the coincidence problem is unsolved. For 0<alpha <1, the CP would be alleviated and for alpha sim 1, the CP would be solved. The dark energy component is analyzed with both w=-1 and wne -1. Using Supernovae type Ia and Hubble parameter data constraints, in the case w=-1 we find alpha =0.109^{+0.062}_{-0.072} at 68% C.L., and the CP is alleviated. For wne -1, a degeneracy arises on the w–alpha plane. In order to break such degeneracy we add cosmic microwave background distance priors and baryonic acoustic oscillations data to the constraints, yielding alpha =-0.075pm 0.046 at 68% C.L.. In this case we find that the CP is not alleviated even for 2sigma interval for alpha . Furthermore, this last model is discarded against flat Lambda CDM according to BIC analysis.

Bulk viscosity, interaction and the viability of phantom solutions
  • Jun 1, 2017
  • The European Physical Journal C
  • Yoelsy Leyva + 1 more

We study the dynamics of a bulk viscosity model in the Eckart approach for a spatially flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) Universe. We have included radiation and dark energy, assumed as perfect fluids, and dark matter treated as an imperfect fluid having bulk viscosity. We also introduce an interaction term between the dark matter and dark energy components. Considering that the bulk viscosity is proportional to the dark matter energy density and imposing a complete cosmological dynamics, we find bounds on the bulk viscosity in order to reproduce a matter-dominated era (MDE). This constraint is independent of the interaction term. Some late time phantom solutions are mathematically possible. However, the constraint imposed by a MDE restricts the interaction parameter, in the phantom solutions, to a region consistent with a null value, eliminating the possibility of late time stable solutions with w<-1. From the different cases that we study, the only possible scenario, with bulk viscosity and interaction term, belongs to the quintessence region. In the latter case, we find bounds on the interaction parameter compatible with latest observational data.
