# Dark matter effect attributed to the inherent structure of cosmic space

## TL;DR

This paper suggests that the anomalous gravitational effects attributed to dark matter may actually result from the inherent structure of space, which amplifies gravity at galactic scales, challenging the need for unseen mass.

## Contribution

It introduces a model where space's inherent curvature explains dark matter effects without invoking new particles, based on the Cosmic Fabric framework.

## Key findings

- Inherent space structure amplifies gravity similar to dark matter effects.
- The model applies to weak, static, spherically symmetric conditions.
- Provides an alternative explanation for galactic rotation curves.

## Abstract

We propose that anomalous gravitational effects currently attributed to dark matter can alternatively be explained as a manifestation of the inherent structure of space at galactic length scales. Specifically, we show that the inherent curvature of space amplifies the gravity of ordinary matter such that the effect resembles the presence of the hypothetical hidden mass. Our study is conducted in the context of weak gravity, nearly static conditions, and spherically symmetric configuration, and leverages the Cosmic Fabric model of space developed by Tenev and Horstemeyer [T.
