Science Magazine's Warm Dark Matter Discovery Supports Warm-Hot Relativistic-Proton Dark Matter & Visa Versa
LOS ALTOS HILLS, Calif., Sept. 17 (AScribe Newswire) -- A paper in the September 14, 2007 issue of Science Magazine, "Lighting the Universe with Filaments," claims that computer simulations disclose that Warm Dark Matter (WDM) would create enormous dark matter filaments that in turn would create sun-like long-life stars that could exist until now.
These simulations also show that Cold Dark Matter (CDM) would only create short-life high-mass stars, typically with a few hundred times the mass of the Sun that would have exploded billions of years ago.
Therefore, a future astronomical discovery of ancient first-generation sun-like stars would support the Warm Dark Matter theory over the Cold Dark Matter theory. This type of research represents a new approach to uncovering the nature of the dark matter of the Universe.
Jerome Drexler, the author of the May 22, 2006 dark matter cosmology book, "Comprehending and Decoding the Cosmos" devoted Chapter 33 to the discovery and significance of warm-hot dark matter filaments announced by NASA and Harvard on September 9, 2004.
Chapter 33 (of 56 chapters) is presented here as a way of recognizing the recent important computer-simulation contributions of the authors of the Science paper, Liang Gao and Tom Theuns:
"CHAPTER 33
Cosmic DM Mystery #5 Intersecting DM Filaments Create Galaxy Clusters
Relativistic Proton Dark Matter Particles Could Be Concentrated in the Long, Large Filaments of Dark Matter (Announced By NASA 9/9/04) That Form Galaxy Clusters Where The DM Filaments Intersect
The September 9, 2004 news release from NASA (and Harvard) entitled, "Motions in nearby galaxy cluster reveal presence of hidden superstructure,"(33) regarding Chandra x-ray images of the Fornax cluster, states: Astronomers think that most of the matter in the universe is concentrated in long large filaments of dark matter and that galaxy clusters are formed where these filaments intersect.
The researchers' related paper (astro-ph/0406216) is entitled, "The Chandra Fornax Survey - I: The Cluster Environment."(34) This astronomically established filamentary description of dark matter appears to be much more compatible with the relativistic proton dark matter theory than the cold dark matter theory. It seems highly unlikely that the DM filamentary structure could be created by very slow moving, weakly interacting (only through gravitational tidal forces) particles.
The vision of DM filaments crisscrossing the cosmos gives the impression of high-velocity particles, while the crashing of intersecting DM filaments creating galaxy clusters gives the impression of a top-down theory of galaxy formation. Both of these impressions point toward and lend support to the relativistic dark matter theory/cosmology.
Furthermore, the theoretical WIMPs, being non-baryonic, cannot be transformed into hydrogen and helium where the DM filaments intersect, whereas the relativistic protons and helium nuclei, being baryonic, can provide hydrogen and helium to the galaxy clusters where the filaments intersect. For the above reasons, the September 2004 reports of the DM filaments seemed to be very supportive of Drexler's DM theory and encouraged him to write this book sequel."
"Comprehending and Decoding the Cosmos" discloses the surprising and significant roles and functions of dark matter in creating spiral galaxies, stars, starburst galaxies, ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, and other phenomena. Thus, a fitting subtitle for the book is "Discovering Solutions to Over a Dozen Cosmic Mysteries by Utilizing Dark Matter Relationism, Cosmology, and Astrophysics."
This book is now available in 40 astronomy or physics libraries around the world including libraries at Harvard, Stanford, Yale, UC Berkeley, Cornell, Harvard-Smithsonian, Vassar, and the universities of Hawaii, Toronto, Illinois, Edinburgh, Hamburg, Goettingen, Groningen, Copenhagen, Chile, Bologna, Helsinki, Lisbon, Guadalajara, and Kyoto, and the Max-Planck-Institut for Astrophysik. Jerome Drexler, the author of the book, entered the race to identify dark matter in 2002, by utilizing Albert Einstein's 1905 Special Theory of Relativity, Claude Shannon's information theory, Johannes Kepler's 400-year-old idea of re-analyzing the astronomical data of others, Occam's (Ockham's) razor logic of the 14th century and Drexler's own 50-year career in applied physics research, invention and innovation that began with seven years at Bell Laboratories.
