Metal-Like Gravity and Its Cosmological Applications ()
ABSTRACT
Modification
to Newton gravitational interaction is presented. It provides an understanding
of a novel universal gravitational field of particle origin that defines
alternative attributes to elementary constituents of matter particles and the
gravitational interactions between them. It investigates gravitational
relationship between two types of mass. The model assigns Coulombic
gravitational interaction to DM particles and baryons by attributing
self-antigravity to both normal matter and dark matter (DM). It defines the
interaction as like particles repel while unlike particles attract. Metal-like
force is proposed where same type mass (baryons) are gravitationally attracted
to each other when a sea of DM particles are attracted to them and glue them
together analogous to a metal bond. At close range, other dominant forces take
place such as electromagnetic force. In light of this model, intergalactic
self-repulsive DM particles are proposed to result in accelerating expansion of
the universe. The model produces flat rotational curves for spiral galaxies and
provides a physical explanation to MOND theory.
