Link between dark matter and baryonic matter
Hello!
I just read the work: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1609.05917v1.pdf The authors conclusion: "The dark and baryonic mass are strongly coupled." Only now they have noticed this? 8 years ago I came to the same conclusion. One can even read this ratio directly from rotation curves: they oscillate. Now, the authors speculate what may be the cause. And I have the explanation already ready https://sites.google.com/site/testso...sh/dark-matter "The dark matter is to be concentrated in the spiral arms. This contradicts the assumption that it consists from particles that surround the galaxy like a halo. On the other hand, this is strongly reminiscent of the asteroid belt in our solar system or rings around Saturn and Jupiter. Therefore, it may act on dark matter around small cosmic bodies, such as rocks, asteroids, planets, comets, and snowballs. They are small to be seen from a distance, but in principle they can make up the bulk of our galaxy and other galaxies."

It sounds like they are rediscovering MOND. If one definitely want a new physics, then comes into question only the old MOND |

Actually there are papers at the same source, that agree that all Dark Matter could be normal, baryonic matter, but it creates the problem of evaluating "by some other means" the amount of matter near the rim, since luminosity drops off so quickly (due to dust, etc.). Recall that "Dark" originated from establishing a mass / luminosity ratio at the center of a spiral galaxy. We have since found out what a special place that location is, as compared to elsewhere in a spiral's disc... no significant dust, stars without much in the way of a photosphere (due to tidal effects), and likely very few planets of any size. Since we no longer rely on mass / luminosity, but can in most cases verify rotation curves with microlensing (at least locally), we no longer need to use failed methods. Neither MOND nor exotic matter are *required*, nor do they show up in our own solar system. So we are NOT in a special place after all. If we are into opinions here... David A. Smith |

Maybe the issue here is not to find a new modification of Newtonian gravity, but perhaps our reliance on still using Newtonian gravity even 100 years after we found a better theory of gravity might be the problem here? We're still using Newtonian gravity after all of these years, because it's frankly much easier to calculate with than General Relativity. And we're still confidant in its validity, because we imagine that it is "still good enough". GR isn't calculating easy-to-understand force-distance relationships, instead it's calculating curvatures in spacetime. But in a many-body system such as stars in a galaxy or galaxies in a universe, those simple inverse-distance squared relationships simply don't work out anymore? We're still using Newtonian gravity in this day and age because we still don't have computers strong enough to do a GR calculation for an entire galaxy. Using even our strongest supercomputers we can do perhaps a simulation of only a few million stars in a galaxy using GR, but our galaxy contains perhaps as much as 400 billion stars, so we keep approximating with Newton. If one day we can do a full simulation of the Milky Way with all of its entire 400 billion stars, then likely we'll see surprising results coming out of GR that are inconsistent with Newton, and then we'll be finally shaken of our illusion that Newton is "still good enough".

I find it more likely that a nearly 100 year old assumption that luminosity is directly proportional to the amount of mass present, when it has long been known that luminosity drops off rapidly with surface temperature. If you have cooler objects, they simply don't put out as much light... especially in the visible light bands. We're still using Newtonian gravity after all of these years, because it's frankly much easier to calculate with than General Relativity. Paper on this subject for a "simple" galaxy, and evaluating the possible error between Newtonian gravity-as-a-force and GR, and in that galaxy, it is a 1% (or so) error, not the necessary 300% error.

They do work out "well enough", for simple gravitation. But we are "blind as bats" at these scales, and have a full complement of "flatlander fallacies" that we have to divest ourselves of. We're still using Newtonian gravity in this day and age because we still don't have computers strong enough to do a GR calculation for an entire galaxy. False. The amount of computer time might still be abysmally long for an interesting galaxy, but it would still be doable. After all, Nature does this math in real time... Using even our strongest supercomputers we can do perhaps a simulation of only a few million stars in a galaxy using GR, but our galaxy contains perhaps as much as 400 billion stars, so we keep approximating with Newton. Yet, even small spirals show a need for Dark Matter. Globular clusters, essentially don't.

Maybe. But the speeds and curvature on something the size of a galaxy, even the Milky Way, should present minimal error in using Newton. Now what I wonder is, if the "perfectly mirrored, massless box, containing photons", which has rest mass, exists between a star and the gases/dust/planets that give that star a background temperature higher than the CMBR. So some Dark Matter (probably less than 1%) might still be photons in transit between intersystem objects...? David A. Smith |

GR is mathematically identical to Newtonian gravity provided gravity is not "strong" and speeds are "low" compared to the speed of light. The magnitude of the errors can be quantified for the actual gravitational potentials and speeds in any particular calculation. The real problems are 1) even Newtonian gravity is too hard to calculate when the system has too many bodies, and 2) treating stars and gas together in a single calculation is difficult. These problems require approximations to be made, and in some cases these approximations may be inaccurate enough to affect results. That's not to say every calculation ever done is hopelessly wrong, but any result that depends critically on what happens when two stars come very close together is uncertain. People who do these calculations are well aware of the uncertainties, but those seldom get transmitted in popular articles. -- Help keep our newsgroup healthy; please don't feed the trolls.

As you say, the dependence of luminosity on temperature -- more generally on stellar population -- is well known. It is taken into account as well as possible given the data available, and the resulting uncertainties are understood. If y= ou have cooler objects, they simply don't put out as much light... especially in the visible light bands. As you indicate, working in the infrared helps quite a bit. It doesn't eliminate the uncertainties altogether, though. Now what I wonder is, if the "perfectly mirrored, massless box, containing = photons", which has rest mass, exists between a star Photons have energy, which contributes to gravitation, but they don't have rest mass. and the gases/dust/pla= nets that give that star a background temperature higher than the CMBR.

Light has to be considered separately from matter in the cosmological equations because its energy density decreases as the fourth power of scale factor. The energy density of light has been less than that of matter since the first several minutes of cosmic time, and its energy density is negligible at later epochs. -- Help keep our newsgroup healthy; please don't feed the trolls.

Individually, no. But in groups, with a center of momentum frame, they do have rest mass. And hence gravitational mass. and the gases/dust/pla= nets that give that star a background temperature higher than the CMBR.

As I said, I did not expect it to be even 1%, much less what is required to be Dark Matter. Thank you. David A. Smith |
