LQG Legend Writes Paper Claiming GR Explains Dark Matter Phenomena

[QUOTE="PeterDonis, post: 6833015, member: 197831"] This thread is [I]not[/I] discussing Ciotti's paper. It started by citing a claim by Deur. It then expanded to a general discussion of possible alternate explanations for the phenomena that are attributed to dark matter. Ciotti's paper and the discussion of GEM effects is one piece of that, but not the only piece. It might be the only piece you want to discuss, but this is not your thread and it is not limited to your preferred topic. Possibly (I would want to look at the actual numbers rather than try to eyeball a graph), but it still doesn't look like an actual galaxy rotation curve. The speed falls off significantly from the peak, as it does for all the curves in the paper. In an actual galaxy rotation curve (at least in galaxies where significant amounts of dark matter are hypothesized to be present), it doesn't fall off at all; it rises to a "peak" value and then [I]stays[/I] at that peak. None of the curves in the GEM papers look like that. [/QUOTE]
