Residual Strong Nuclear Force vs. Dark Forces?

Nuclear force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We know that the Strong Nuclear Force leaks out from within the nucleons
and allows them to bind together into an atomic nucleus, which we call
the Residual Strong Force. This is normally only effective at distances
of between 1.0 and 2.5 fm. Below 1.0 fm, this force actually becomes
repulsive.

Now, since we know that the gluons that escape from inside the nucleons
can travel to the next adjoining nucleon, it must also be possible that
the gluons can completely escape the nucleus altogether, especially from
the border nucleons, i.e. the protons and neutrons that make up the
surface edge of a nucleus. I'm not talking a hell of a lot of them
escaping, maybe just 1% of 1% or something that small. And since gluons
travel at the speed of light, they can travel great distances very
quickly. Now let's say one of these gluons escapes a nucleus, and
depending on the density of the material it is travelling through it may
not get captured by another nucleus for quite some time. And even if it
got captured, it's effect on the movement of the capturing nucleus would
so minimal that it would barely be noticed above its quantum vibrations.

In fact, this gluon could likely travel through an entire solar system
without really getting captured by any other nucleus within it. However,
over the confines of an entire galaxy, it might indeed get captured by
something along the way. Even within the confines of an entire galaxy
cluster, it might get captured. Now let's imagine that this one lone
gluon is joined by trillions more, from every atom in the galaxy. The
gluons don't even have to hit a nucleus, it could just hit another gluon
and still create an attractive force. One gluon may not have much
effect, but many trillions might affect the shape of the galaxy,
creating a helper force to gravity. It might even create an attractive
effect like what we call Dark Matter. It's been found that the Dark
Matter halo around the Milky Way resembles an American football, or
rugby ball; and the narrow end is planar to the disk of the galaxy,
while the long end is perpendicular to the disk. Perhaps this reflect
the relative abundance of nucleons in those directions?

Then we also know that the Strong Force becomes repulsive at scales
smaller than 0.7 fm. What if a similar effect also occurs at extremely
large scales of over 10 billion light-years? This might create the
repulsive effect which we call Dark Energy? This would of course work
against gravity.

Also, it's been shown that Dark Energy didn't become an issue until
maybe 5 billion years after the Big Bang. Gluons would be more likely to
escape the nucleus of more complex elements, i.e. "Metals" in the
astronomical sense of the word, any nucleus bigger than hydrogen. What
this could reflect is a critical point when enough metals were produced
in stars to became a large enough portion of nuclei in the universe.
Enough metals where gluons now escape more readily, creating repulsive
forces at large distances.
