Gravity's Strength in Galaxies: A Quark-Like Explanation?

In summary: However, they would need to have a high energy in order to mediate the forces of the universe. If dark energy particles are quark -like then they would also have an electrical charge ( half of them could be positively charged, half of them negatively charged)which a magnetic field in a galaxy could exert a force on and so squeeze them together increasing their density and the force they exert on stars they collide with.This may be one reason why gravity seems stronger in galaxies than it should be.

Is gravity so weak because every force mediating boson starts out as a graviton, which then loses energy and becomes gluons,photons W and Z particles.
This would mean that the graviton carries colour charge and so dark energy
must emit gravitons with colour charge and therefore dark energy would by implication be quark like in nature ( and so would neutrinos - perhaps they are light neutrons made of three quarks).If a proton's mass could form a mini black-hole that black hole would have a temperature of 10 ^ 51 Kelvin.
The fundamental forces of the standard model unify at 10 ^ 32 K so the temperature of the radiation emitted by the mini black hole would be sufficient for us to say that all forces were one force and gravitons can be the sole mediator at the outset.

I strongly believe this is impossible. For starters gravitons (which are still hypothetical) have the wrong spin and most likely are less energetic than any of the others.

Photons have spin 1 but can yield 2 spin 1/2 fermions.Gravitons might yield 2 spin 1 bosons.Spin is no grounds for an objection to the idea.
There is no proof of how energetic gravitons are when they start out.
 

Related to Gravity's Strength in Galaxies: A Quark-Like Explanation?

1. What is the concept behind the "quark-like explanation" for gravity's strength in galaxies?

The quark-like explanation proposes that gravity is not a fundamental force, but rather an emergent force that arises from the interactions of subatomic particles known as quarks. In this theory, the strength of gravity is determined by the number and type of quarks present in an object.

2. How does this theory explain the observed variations in gravity's strength in different galaxies?

According to the quark-like explanation, the variations in gravity's strength can be attributed to differences in the distribution and types of quarks within galaxies. This can be influenced by factors such as the mass of the galaxy, the types of matter present, and the interactions between particles.

3. Is there any evidence to support this theory?

Currently, there is no direct evidence to support the quark-like explanation for gravity's strength in galaxies. However, some scientists have proposed mathematical models and simulations that show promising results in explaining the observed variations in gravity's strength.

4. How does this theory relate to other theories of gravity, such as Einstein's theory of general relativity?

The quark-like explanation is a new and alternative theory of gravity that challenges the traditional understanding of gravity as a fundamental force. It differs from Einstein's theory of general relativity, which describes gravity as a curvature in the fabric of space-time caused by massive objects.

5. What are some potential implications of this theory for our understanding of the universe?

If the quark-like explanation for gravity's strength in galaxies is proven to be true, it could have significant implications for our understanding of the universe. It could potentially lead to a deeper understanding of the fundamental forces and particles that make up the universe, and could also help to reconcile the discrepancies between general relativity and quantum mechanics. However, further research and evidence is needed to fully explore the implications of this theory.
