Abstract

Owing to the renewed interest in dark matter after the upgrade of the large hadron collider and its dedication to dark matter research it is timely to reassess the whole problem. Considering dark matter is one way to reconcile the discrepancy between the velocity of matter in the outer regions of galaxies and the observed galactic mass. So far, no credible candidate for dark matter has been identified. Here, we develop a model accounting for observations by rotations and interactions between rotating objects analogous to magnetic fields and interactions with moving charges. The magnitude of these fields is described by a fundamental constant of the order 10-41kg-1. The same interactions can be observed in the solar system where they lead to small changes in planetary orbits.

Highlights

  • Observations in radio astronomy of the 21 cm hydrogen line in interstellar gas and its broadening due to the relative motion of hydrogen clouds in interstellar space within galaxies have been employed since the 1960s to measure the rotational velocities of galaxies relative to a galactic center [1,2,3]

  • The concept of dark matter, as Milgrom pointed out [7], is based on three separate assumptions: (i) the force governing the dynamics of interstellar hydrogen is gravity, (ii) the gravitational force depends on the source of the gravity field and the mass of the particle, and (iii) Newtons second law

  • If one considers the whole of physical theory and not just the essentially static laws of gravitation formulated here, assumption (i) may not be strictly valid. The reason for such an assumption can be found in electrodynamics [9], where charges interact through two separate fields: they interact either through electrostatic Coulomb fields, equivalent to gravitational interactions of mass, or through magnetic fields, which currently have no equivalent in the theory of mass dynamics

Summary

Introduction

Observations in radio astronomy of the 21 cm hydrogen line in interstellar gas and its broadening due to the relative motion of hydrogen clouds in interstellar space within galaxies have been employed since the 1960s to measure the rotational velocities of galaxies relative to a galactic center [1,2,3]. The following model of stellar dynamics is based on two discrete assumptions: (i) mass in angular rotation around the galactic center generates a rotor field, which is radiated outward in the plane of the galaxy, and (ii) the field amplitude linearly decreases with increasing distance from the center.
