Hydrodynamics of structure formation in the early Universe

TL;DR

This paper challenges the standard LambdaCDM model by proposing that turbulence and viscous effects in the early Universe led to a top-down structure formation, supported by various observational signatures.

Contribution

It introduces a fluid mechanics-based model of early Universe structure formation, emphasizing turbulence and viscous fragmentation over collisionless dark matter clustering.

Findings

Turbulence signatures observed in the CMB support the model.

Galaxy dark matter may consist of primordial planets in clumps.

Void sizes and galaxy spins align with turbulent fragmentation predictions.

Abstract

Theory and observations reveal fatal flaws in the standard LambdaCDM model. The cold dark matter hierarchical clustering paradigm predicts a gradual bottom-up growth of gravitational structures assuming linear, collisionless, ideal flows and unrealistic CDM condensations and mergers. Collisional fluid mechanics with viscosity, turbulence, and diffusion predicts a turbulent big bang and top-down viscous-gravitational fragmentation from supercluster to galaxy scales in the plasma epoch, as observed from 0.3 Gpc void sizes, 1.5 Gpc spins and Kolmogorov-fingerprint-turbulence-signatures in the CMB. Turbulence produced at expanding gravitational void boundaries causes a linear morphology of 3 Kpc fragmenting plasma-protogalaxies along vortex lines, as observed in deep HST images. After decoupling, gas-protogalaxies fragment into primordial-density, million-solar-mass clumps of earth-mass planets forming 0.3 Mpc galactic-dark-matter. White-dwarf-heated planet-atmospheres give dimmed SNe Ia events and false gamma-ray-burst luminosity distances, not dark-energy-Lambda. Quasar microlensing observations rule out no-hair black hole models and require galaxy-dark-matter to be planets-in-clumps.
