Two fundamental constants of gravity unifying the dark matter and the dark energy

TL;DR

This paper proposes that gravity is governed by two fundamental constants, one of which explains both dark energy and dark matter within a generalized Newtonian potential framework, suggesting a more universal understanding of gravity.

Contribution

It introduces a generalized Newtonian potential with an additional constant that unifies dark energy and dark matter explanations, expanding the fundamental constants of gravity.

Findings

The second constant is dimension-independent and matter-uncoupled.

The generalized potential explains dark energy and dark matter quantitatively.

Gravity is governed by two fundamental constants, not just one.

Abstract

The common nature of the dark sector - dark energy and dark matter - as shown in [1] follows readily from the consideration of generalized Newtonian potential as a weak-field General Relativity. That generalized potential satisfying the Newton's theorem on the equivalence of sphere's gravity and that of a point-mass located in its center, contains an additional constant which along with the gravitational constant is able to explain quantitatively both the dark energy (cosmological constant) and dark matter. So, gravity is defined not by one but two fundamental constants. We show that, the second constant is dimensional-independent and matter-uncoupled and hence is even more universal than the gravitational constant, thus affecting the strategy of observational studies of dark energy and of the search of dark matter.
