A fluid mechanical explanation of dark matter

Matter in the universe has become “dark” or “missing” through misconceptions about the fluid mechanics of gravitational structure formation. The linear Jeans (1902, 1929) theory gives vast overestimates (by factors of trillions or more) for the initial condensation mass of baryonic matter, and vast underestimates (by factors of trillions or more) for the initial condensation mass of the non-baryonic matter. Gravitational condensation occurs on non-acoustic density nuclei at the largest Schwarz length scale LST , LSV , LSM , LSD permitted by turbulence, viscous, or magnetic forces, or by the fluid diffusivity. Non-baryonic fluids have diffusivities larger (by factors of trillions or more) than baryonic (ordinary) fluids, and cannot condense to nucleate baryonic galaxy formation as is usually assumed. Baryonic fluids begin to condense in the plasma epoch at about 13,000 years after the big bang to form proto-superclusters, and form proto-galaxies by 300,000 years when the cooling plasma becomes neutral gas. Condensation occurs at small planetary masses to form “primordial fog particles” from nearly all of the primordial gas by the new theory, Gibson (1996), supporting the Schild (1996) conclusion from quasar Q0957+651A,B microlensing observations that the mass of the lens galaxy is dominated by “rogue planets ... likely to be the missing mass”. Non-baryonic dark matter condenses on superclusters at scale LSD to form massive super-halos.
