The dark matter crisis: falsification of the current standard model of cosmology
Pavel Kroupa (AIfA, Bonn)
(Submitted on 11 Apr 2012 (v1), last revised 20 Jun 2012 (this version, v2))
The current standard model of cosmology (SMoC) requires The Dual Dwarf Galaxy Theorem to be true according to which two types of dwarf galaxies must exist: primordial dark-matter (DM) dominated (type A) dwarf galaxies, and tidal-dwarf and ram-pressure-dwarf (type B) galaxies void of DM. Type A dwarfs surround the host approximately spherically, while type B dwarfs are typically correlated in phase-space. Type B dwarfs must exist in any cosmological theory in which galaxies interact. Only one type of dwarf galaxy is observed to exist on the baryonic Tully-Fisher plot and in the radius-mass plane. The Milky Way satellite system forms a vast phase-space-correlated structure that includes globular clusters and stellar and gaseous streams. Other galaxies also have phase-space correlated satellite systems. Therefore, The Dual Dwarf Galaxy Theorem is falsified by observation and dynamically relevant cold or warm DM cannot exist. It is shown that the SMoC is incompatible with a large set of other extragalactic observations. Other theoretical solutions to cosmological observations exist. In particular, alone the empirical mass-discrepancy--acceleration correlation constitutes convincing evidence that galactic-scale dynamics must be Milgromian. Major problems with inflationary big bang cosmologies remain unresolved.
Comments: Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia (CSIRO Publishing), LaTeX, 51 pages, 16 figures. Minor changes: The Dual Dwarf Galaxy Theorem has been corrected, two additional failures of the SMoC added. The paper is published online early as an open access article here: this http URL . It will appear in press in the December 2012 issue of PASA

Does this falsify cold dark matter?
does this mean cold dark matter searches like Lux Zeppelin and SuperCDMS will fail to find any evidence of DM?
what are implications for SUSY
