TGD Interpretation for the New Discovery about Galactic Dark Matter

Abstract

A rather precise correlation has been discovered between the gravitational acceleration produced by visible baryonic dark matter and the observed acceleration usually thought to be determined to a high degree by the presence of dark matter halo. This correlation challenges the halo model model and might even kill it. It turns out that the TGD-based model in which galactic dark matter is at long cosmic strings having galaxies along it like pearls in necklace allows to interpret the finding and to deduce a formula for the density from the observed correlation. The model contains only single parameter: the contribution of cosmic string gravitational potential determining the asymptotic velocity of distant stars.
