Theory and observations of galactic dark matter
Abstract
Sir James Jeans's (1902 and 1929) linear, acoustic, theory of gravitational instability gives vast errors for the structure formation of the early universe. Gibson's (1996) nonlinear theory shows that nonacoustic density extrema produced by turbulence are gravitationally unstable at turbulent, viscous, or diffusive Schwarz scales LST, LSV, LSD, independent of Jeans's acoustic scale LJ. Structure formation began with decelerations of 1046 kg protosuperclusters in the hot plasma epoch, 13,000 years after the Big Bang, when LSV decreased to the Hubble (horizon) scale LH equiv ct, where c is light speed and t is time, giving 1042 kg protogalaxies just before the cooled plasma formed neutral H-He gas at 300,000 years. In 103 years this primordial gas condensed to 1023 - 1025 kg LSV - LST scale objects, termed ``primordial fog particles'' (PFPs). Schild (1996) suggested from continuous microlensing of quasar Q0957 + 561 A,B that the mass of the 1042 kg lens galaxy is dominated by 1023 - 1025 kg ``rogue planets ... likely to be the missing mass''. A microlensing event seen at three observatories confirms Schild's (1996) claims, and supports Gibson's (1996) prediction that PFPs comprise most of the dark matter at galactic scales.
