D. V. Bugg (Queen Mary, University of London, UK)
TL;DR
This paper proposes a new interpretation of MOND, suggesting galaxies behave as Fermi-Dirac condensates with a peak in acceleration linked to quantum mixing, connecting galactic dynamics to cosmological parameters.
Contribution
It introduces a novel quantum mechanical model for galactic dynamics, interpreting galaxies as condensates and relating acceleration peaks to fundamental constants.
Findings
Acceleration peak aligns with a_0 = cH_0/2π within experimental error
Galaxies may be Fermi-Dirac condensates based on five key indicators
Quantum mixing explains deviations from Newtonian gravity at galactic scales
Abstract
A novel interpretation of MOND is presented. For galactic data, in addition to Newtonian acceleration, there is an attractive acceleration peaking at Milgrom's parameter a_0. The peak lies within experimental error where a_0 = cH_0/2\pi and H_0 is the present-time value of the Hubble constant. This peaking may be understood in terms of quantum mechanical mixing between Newtonian gravitation and the condensation mechanism. There are five pointers towards galaxies being Fermi-Dirac condensates.
