Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on the duality between cold dark matter (CDM) and modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) through the lens of holography, as presented in a recent paper. Participants explore the implications of this duality, including the role of vacuum energy and virtual particles in explaining dark matter effects at various scales.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants discuss a proposed holographic dual description of Milgrom's scaling related to galactic rotation curves, suggesting a connection between CDM and MOND.
  • One participant introduces the idea that interactions in the quantum vacuum lead to virtual particle-antiparticle pairs, which could contribute to gravitational mass and explain dark matter effects.
  • Another participant references calculations by physicist Erik Verlinde, arguing that virtual particles from the vacuum can cause acceleration akin to ordinary mass, linking this to Newton's law of gravity.
  • There is a suggestion that the distribution of vacuum energy and its density may account for observed dark matter phenomena in galaxies and clusters.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express a range of views on the relationship between vacuum energy, virtual particles, and dark matter. There is no consensus on the validity of these models or their implications, indicating ongoing debate and exploration of the concepts presented.

Contextual Notes

Some claims depend on specific interpretations of quantum mechanics and general relativity, and the discussion includes unresolved mathematical steps and assumptions regarding the nature of vacuum energy and its effects.

I didn't notice this paper, until it was featured today on TR:

MONDian Dark Matter

Chiu Man Ho, Djordje Minic, Y. Jack Ng
(Submitted on 19 May 2010)
We provide a holographic dual description of Milgrom's scaling associated with galactic rotation curves. Our argument is based on the recent entropic reinterpretation of Newton's laws of motion. We propose a duality between cold dark matter and modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND). We introduce the concept of MONDian dark matter, and discuss some of its phenomenological implications. At cluster as well as cosmological scales, the MONDian dark matter would behave as cold dark matter, but at the galactic scale, the MONDian dark matter would act as MOND.

I assume, the interaction between the two information results with a virtual particle-antiparticle pair.
This suggests a real energy in quantum vacuum. The energy has its relativistic mass, proportional to the energy distribution. The vacuum energy is a sum of the energy of the appearing and disappearing virtual particles-antiparticles. Its density is inversely proportional to the squared distance from the source of the oscillating particles.

Such a distribution of the relativistic vacuum energy creates a gravitational mass under a sphere which is proportional to its radius R.

The anomalous acceleration
a=GM/r2=4.2Gr3Dc/Hr3 =4.2GDc/H= a=3.25x10-10 m/s^2
where : Universe's vacuum energy density D=8.9x10-27 kg/m3
and Hubble const. H=71 km/s/Mpc=2.3x10-18 /s

This additional mass explains Dark Matter effect around galaxy and galaxy clusters.

Czes that is some interesting stuff!
We need more philosophers!
 
Here is a calculation of the professional physicist Erik Verlinde. It shows that virtual particle-antiparticle pairs from the vacuum cause acceleration as an ordinary mass.

Entropic force = T dS/dx , where: dS= 2pi k (mc/h)dx
The Unruh vacuum temperature kT = ha/2pi c
The total Energy E= Mc2 = (½) N kT , where N=number of degrees of freedom (bits) = A c^3 /Gh , where area of the screen A = 4 pi r^2
We get the Newtons Law of gravity, the acceleration a=GM / r^2

The entropy is lower close to massive object where the quantum information is entangled in a denser structure.
Dark Matter is just a difference in the relative distribution of the vacuum. The vacuum is our space-time, the aether of the General Relativity of Einstein. Minkowski's space-time is not empty - it is vacuum with its virtual particle-antiparticle pairs.
