Dark Matter and Dark Energy
I briefly review our current understanding of dark matter and dark energy. The first part of this paper focusses on issues pertaining to dark matter including observational evidence for its existence, current constraints and the ‘abundance of substructure’ and ‘cuspy core’ issues which arise in CDM. I also briefly describe MOND. The second part of this review focusses on dark energy. In this pa...
متن کاملAlternatives to Dark Matter and Dark Energy
We review the underpinnings of the standard Newton-Einstein theory of gravity, and identifywhere it could possibly go wrong. In particular, we discuss the logical independence from eachother of the general covariance principle, the equivalence principle and the Einstein equations, anddiscuss how to constrain the matter energy-momentum tensor which serves as the source of gravity.<lb...
متن کاملInteracting Dark Matter and Dark Energy
We discuss models for the cosmological dark sector in which the energy density of a scalar field approximates Einstein’s cosmological constant and the scalar field value determines the dark matter particle mass by a Yukawa coupling. A model with one dark matter family can be adjusted so the observational constraints on the cosmological parameters are close to but different from what is predicte...
متن کاملConformal Gravity: Dark Matter and Dark Energy
This short review examines recent progress in understanding dark matter, dark energy, and galactic halos using theory that departs minimally from standard particle physics and cosmology. Strict conformal symmetry (local Weyl scaling covariance), postulated for all elementary massless fields, retains standard fermion and gauge boson theory but modifies Einstein–Hilbert general relativity and the...
متن کاملDark Matter, Dark Energy, and Fundamental Physics
More than sixty years ago Zwicky made the case that the great clusters of galaxies are held together by the gravitational force of unseen (dark) matter. Today, the case is stronger and more precise: Dark, nonbaryonic matter accounts for 30%±7% of the critical mass density, with baryons (most of which are dark) contributing only 4.5% ± 0.5% of the critical density. The large-scale structure that...
