SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a discovery that explains galaxy rotation curves without invoking dark matter or modifications to Newtonian dynamics. This finding has been independently corroborated by Kenneth F Nicholson (astro-ph/0309762 v2) and Dilip G. Banhatti (arXiv:0806.1131v4). Both papers argue that the observed flat or rising galaxy rotational velocities can be accounted for by the baryonic matter present in galaxies, negating the need for exotic matter. The conversation also highlights the lack of publication and endorsement for these works, raising concerns about their scientific validity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of galaxy rotation curves
  • Familiarity with Newtonian dynamics
  • Knowledge of baryonic matter in astrophysics
  • Awareness of scientific publication processes
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of baryonic matter on galaxy dynamics
  • Study the papers by Kenneth F Nicholson and Dilip G. Banhatti for detailed methodologies
  • Explore the critiques of Kepler’s laws in the context of spiral galaxies
  • Investigate the peer review process for astrophysical research publications
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, astrophysicists, and researchers interested in galaxy dynamics and the ongoing debate surrounding dark matter and Newtonian physics.

I have been working on a discovery that could explain galaxy rotation curve without dark matter or modification of Newtonian dynamics. However, I was unable to make any comment within this forum since this was unpublished work. However, the same discovery has been made independently by Kenneth F Nicholson (astro-ph/0309762 v2) and Dilip G. Banhatti (arXiv:0806.1131v4). I found these references in an article by James T. Dwyer entitled, ‘Inappropriate Application of Kepler’s Empirical Laws of Planetary Motion to Spiral Galaxies Created the Perceived Galaxy Rotation Problem – Thereby Establishing a Galactic Presence for the Elusive, Inferred Dark Matter’, (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/James_Dwyer/publication). These two papers explain the flat or sometimes rising galaxy rotational velocities using the baryonic matter known to be present in a galaxy, thereby eliminating the need for exotic matter or any modification of known physics.

This is one of our most basic rules.

Which are - as far as I could see - also unpublished w.r.t. a scientific journal. Furthermore, there haven't even been endorsements of the two papers.

Which is a thesis, i.e. required to be published.

We do not want to open the gates for all kind of personal theories, so I close this thread.

The two papers you mentioned are roughly ten years old, which is a long time to seek a publication opportunity. The fact, that they weren't make me think, that they've failed several professional review processes which is more than we can provide.
