Universal Scaling Function of Velocity Rotation in Spiral galaxies

TL;DR

This paper reveals that the velocity rotation curves of spiral galaxies with similar central brightness follow a universal scaling function, suggesting emergent cooperative behavior rather than reductionist explanations for constant velocities.

Contribution

It introduces a universal scaling function for galaxy rotation curves, highlighting the role of emergence and cooperation in galactic dynamics.

Findings

Velocity curves collapse onto a universal scaling function

Supports emergence as key to understanding galactic rotation

Challenges reductionist explanations for constant velocities

Abstract

The data of velocity rotation curve in spiral galaxies, almost for galaxies which have close central surface brightness, collapse onto a universal scaling function. Since scaling functions are the signature of emergence in complex systems we are led to the idea that explanation of constant velocity in spiral galaxies needs considering cooperative behavior instead of interpretation based on reductionism approach.
