The Dark Universe is not invisible

TL;DR

This paper proposes that dark matter, traditionally considered invisible and non-interacting, may influence solar and planetary phenomena through gravitational focusing of streaming dark matter, suggesting new observational avenues in solar and exoplanetary studies.

Contribution

It introduces the idea that gravitational focusing of streaming dark matter can explain unexpected solar and planetary behaviors, challenging the conventional non-interacting dark matter paradigm.

Findings

Gravitational focusing by the Sun may explain solar cycle and corona heating.

Planetary relationships could be influenced by streaming dark matter effects.

Exoplanetary systems might show stellar activity correlated with dark matter streams.

Abstract

Dark matter (DM) comes from long-range gravitational observations, and it is considered as something that does not interact with ordinary matter or emits light. However, also on much smaller scales, a number of unexpected observations of the solar activity and the dynamic Earth atmosphere might arise from DM contradicting the aforementioned DM picture. Because, gravitational (self) focusing effects by the Sun or its planets of streaming DM fit as the interpretation of the otherwise puzzling 11-year solar cycle, the mysterious heating of the solar corona, atmospheric transients, etc. Observationally driven, an external impact by overlooked streaming invisible matter reconciles the investigated mysterious behavior showing otherwise unexpected planetary relationships; this is a signature for gravitational focusing of streaming DM by the solar system bodies. Then, focusing of DM streams could also occur in exoplanetary systems, suggesting for the first time the carrying out of investigations by searching for the associated stellar activity as a function of the exoplanetary orbital phases.
