ABSTRACT: The aim
of the present work is showing that the observed non-Keplerian rotation of the
galaxies is predicted by the space dynamic gravitational mechanism without dark
matter and that the current explanation of the galactic gravitational dynamics
in terms of dark matter is hypothetical. Visibly, the need of dark matter is an
emergency created by a mistaken view about the nature of space and gravitation.
Furthermore, in the view of the present work, the accelerated expansion of the
universe is expansion of the Higgs quantum space itself, driven by minimization
of its total energy. Spontaneous breaking of the U(1) gauge symmetry and
Bose-Einstein condensation of the Higgs bosons creates a potential energy well
in the form of the Mexican sombrero. If the density φ*φ of the condensate is larger than
the equilibrium density, then the Higgs quantum space can minimize its energy
by volumetric expansion. The idea that the accelerated expansion of the
universe is driven by a positive potential energy, dubbed dark energy, needs to
be unveiled.
