Galaxies:kinematics as a proof of the existence of a universal field of minimum acceleration

TL;DR

This paper proposes a universal minimum acceleration field, of order c/t, explaining galaxy and cosmic structure kinematics without dark matter or modified gravity, within current physics frameworks.

Contribution

It introduces the concept of a universal minimum acceleration field that accounts for galactic and cosmic structures without additional hypotheses.

Findings

Kinematics of luminous objects explained without dark matter.

Sizes of cosmic structures derived from the minimum acceleration field.

Supports the existence of a universal acceleration field consistent with current physics.

Abstract

Taking into account only luminous objects, the kinematics of clusters of galaxies, galaxies and their interior, require a much higher mass than the luminous one to explain the observations. This situation has provoked more than 30 years of intense research and has stimulated hypothesis like the dark matter. Also new mechanical theories, different from Newton (like the Modified Newtonian Dynamics), have been proposed. We here present an alternative: theoretical and observational data strongly suggest the existence of a universal field of minimum acceleration of the order of c/t, c the speed of light and t the age of the Universe. We keep our reasoning within the present state of the art of Quantum Mechanics, Relativity and Newtonian Mechanics. With this approach the kinematics of the luminous objects are explained without any additional assumption. At the same time the sizes of all structures in the Universe, from protons up to the Universe, are explained as due to the constant action of this field.
