Dark Matter According to Augmented Newtonian Dynamics: (AND)

Dilip D James

Abstract: Augmented Newtonian Dynamics extends Newtonian dynamics into the realm of the very, very small. By venturing into the subject of the sub-atomic which was once thought to be the sole domain of quantum mechanics, AND challenges quantum mechanics concepts such as the Schrodinger equation, wave-particle duality, superposition, quantum entanglement and the wave function. In place of these esoteric theories AND offers purely classical concepts as they apply to the very, very small, while at the same time incorporating into its ideology; quantum mechanics concepts such as Planck?s constant, the atomic model, and the concept of photons. This is made possible by adopting the hypothesis of an aether-like medium, that permeates the whole of the Universe. Dark Matter, an elusive substance that can account for anything from 85% to 90% of all matter in the Universe, is a possible candidate for such a medium or aether. The existence of an aether-like medium through which both light and gravity can propagate, would (a) justify Newton?s Law of Universal Gravitation and (b) account for the propagation of light without invoking the wave function, time dilation or length contraction. Scientists have gathered compelling indirect evidence for the existence of dark matter, yet its true nature remains unknown. Alternative theories, such as MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics), do not align with observational data of Dark Matter. Similarly, extensive astronomical searches have yielded no support for the idea that the missing matter could be contained in compact objects made of ordinary matter. This paper offers a compelling alternative.
