Since dark matter is coincident with dark energy, might they be the same?

NOTICE: This piece was mistakenly published in the "articles" instead of the "newsletter" category on September 24, 2024, and reprinted now under the newsletter category so that any search of the latter category includes the piece.
Caption for cover image: "Dark matter" and "dark energy" are labels for unknowns, and not established physical entities. In any case, they are coincident.
Dark matter is usually thought of as adjacent to visible matter, and dark energy is thought to be "out there," remote from dark matter and different in kind. Also, it is entirely hypothetical that dark matter is particulate in nature; decades of search in this regard have been negative. A theme of these Letters is that dark matter is dark energy at smaller scales, and that dark energy is implicit in Newton's gravity applied to accelerated expanding space. Consider this continuous exchange with Copilot:
Author: "Dark matter in galaxies extends one order of magnitude from the visible portion. Considering Andromeda and the Milky Way galaxies, does the dark matter of each overlap?"
Copilot: "Yes, the dark matter halos of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies do overlap. Both galaxies are part of the Local Group, a collection of galaxies bound together by gravity. The dark matter halos of these galaxies extend far beyond their visible portions, and given their relatively close proximity (about 2.5 million light-years apart), their halos do indeed intersect. ..."
Author: "Do these halos overlap with the other galaxies in the local cluster?
Copilot: "Yes, the dark matter halos of galaxies in the Local Group do overlap with each other. The Local Group includes not only the Milky Way and Andromeda but also other galaxies like the Triangulum Galaxy (M33) and numerous dwarf galaxies. ..."

Author: "Does this dark matter overlap with that of other clusters of galaxies within the local supercluster?"
Copilot: "Yes, the dark matter halos of galaxies within the Local Supercluster do overlap with each other. nbsp; The Local Supercluster, also known as the Laniakea Supercluster, is a massive structure that includes the Local Group (which contains the Milky Way and Andromeda) as well as many other galaxy clusters and groups1. ..."
(END OF INQUIRY WITH COPILOT)
The term "dark matter halos" used by Copilot can be misleading, possibly being confused with particulate plasma, which is only a tenth of the mass-energy represented by "dark matter" within the same volume. Also, dark matter is in a 'continuous web" in the Universe, as indicated in the inquiry.
The galactic supercluster Laniakea mentioned by Copilot overarches the Local Supercluster (a much smaller component of Laniakea) which is also undergoing accelerated expansion due to conventional dark energy (interpreted as repulsive gravity in these Letters). Therefore, there is a continuous overlap of so-called "dark matter" and "dark energy" throughout the Universe. Might they be different labels for the same thing -- Newton's gravity applied to accelerated expanding space? [1][2]

1 个月I hate to be the only one to comment. Is *anyone* out there that is reading these letters? Please click *like*. Einstein simply said, "Reality is merely and illusion, though a very persistent one." He spelled it out mathematically in his famous equation: e=mc2≡2?(?mc2)≡Kinetic Energy. There is a very handy, free form of Kinetic Energy, "The Photon" which can be used to compose ALL subatomic particles when they are trapped in either in Binary or Trinary orbit. TWO for a Lepton and THREE for a Quark. Yes, as Einstein suggested, it is that simple. This method of composing "mass" relies on the Photons Mass-Equivalent ENERGY for each subatomic particle and the peak-to-peak charge of the Photons to provide the charge of ALL particles. Here's the trick. The Energy of the Photon is manifested in a vertical-axis, torsion pendulum composed entirely of "Ether". Now... to the problem at hand. Can Dark Matter be equivalent to Dark Energy? Of course! e=mc2. Any time the "Ether" is pulled or pushed in any direction by Photonic action, There will be a resultant gradient in the "Ether" which can be labelled as a 'gravitational field'. This "massless" gravitation can be mistaken as "Dark Energy" and even labelled as such. massquerade.com
