Dit is mijn theorie. Ik heb het opgestuurd naar een Astronomisch tijdschrift, maar ik vrees dat het niet zal aanvaard worden. Omdat de wiskunde ontbreekt en omdat het misschien niet klopt. Toch wil ik het hier posten, ter onderwerping aan jullie kritische blik:-). Ik heb geprobeerd het zo goed mogelijk te formuleren:
(ik weet dat het slecht Engels is, maar mijn Engels is nu eenmaal niet zo geavanceerd).
A theory to explain the phenomenon of dark matter and dark energy differently
The relativity of space in the gravitational fields
In this thesis I will show you another theory to explain the same scientific observations differently. I will use well-defined scientific terms and strict logical deduction to derive my conclusions. It’s up to you, of course, to validate this new explanation.
In the following picture you see three different observations of our planet Earth
from three observation positions in space:
The first picture in the top left corner is from a perspective above Earth. When you escaped gravity on Earth with a rocket or spaceship, you can observe that the Earth’s rotation around it’s own axis happens in 24 hours in respect to your position.
If you are escaping the gravitaty of the sun, in respect to the sun, you can tell that the Earth is not only rotating around it’s own axis in 24 hours, but it is also rotating around the sun at the same time.
So in 24 hours, on your clock, you see that the Earth is also making a circular motion around the sun, while it’s turning around it’s own axis, in respect to your new position outside the solar system.
In the picture on the right, in respect to a position outside the Milkey Way, you can see that Earth is not only moving around the sun while turning around it’s axis, but also making a motion in the Milkey Way in 24 hours in respect to an observer who is leaving the the Milkey Way. Earth is making a spiral motion in 24 hours, on your clock.
We can conclude that different positions of the observer in the gravitational fields, relative to this ‘object’ Earth, will give the obsever a different observation of motion of this Earth through space in 24 h.
We can ask ourselves these questions:
Is Earth moving faster, when seen from outside the Solar system or from outside the Milkey Way in 24h?
Is time contracted/dilated?
Is space shrinked?
Answer: this is referenceframe dependent.
Scientifically we know that ‘gravitational timecontraction’ of the clocks of the observer is happening while an observer escapes the gravtiational fields. (general theory of relativity)
To the observers of the second and third picture, the observed space of the solarsystem is shrinked, in my opinion. Because to them, there is nothing wrong with their clock in their spaceship, outside the solarsystem.
So, the observed curvature of spacetime of the solar system, depends on the reference frame of the observers.
You can see the resemblance with the special theory of relativity: the observers in a spaceship, close to the speed of light relative to Earth, in the special theory of relativity of Einstein, will see that Earth is shrinking and the space in front of them is shrinking. But, the spaceship shrinks according to the observers on Earth.
Be aware that this contraction of space is not only a relativistic contraction of the space in between the massive bodies, when we leave a gravitational field of a body and observe it from there. Also the observed massive bodies must be shrinked, relative to our new postions. Because the Earth must rotate around its axis in 24h, while at the same time, it must rotate in spirals in the Milkey Way in 24h. It means that the circumference of the Earth must be observed as being shorter.
This is ‘the relativity of space’. Not only time is relative, but the observed space is also relative. We are used to think in terms of relativity of time, by comparing atomic clocks on high altitude and on low altitude. But we are not so familiar with the relativity of space. But both are relative.
The basic reason for these relativistic observations of space is that observers measure the same time interval, wherever they are, therefore they must observe shrinking or expanding spaces in the other field of gravity.
Dark matter and dark energy
In my opinion, the observed space curvature of an observed galaxy in space, socalled caused by dark matter, could be an observation of a relativistic spaceshrink, observed by observers outside that galaxy.
Because the clock of the observers will always have a the same speed to themselves, therefore, the observed spaces will be observed as shrinked elsewhere, wherever the observer is.
The other way around
But what happens when we are in a gravitational field and we observe the night sky, outside of our gravitational fields?
We must observe a progressive space stretch between us and objects far away from our galaxy. An expansion of space, further away from us. And indeed: we observe redshifting galaxies far away from us. Hubble’s law. Expanding space.
Conclusion
In my opinion, the ‘missing mass’-problem can be solved with the interpretation of ‘a relativistic spaceshrink’ of the space in the observed galaxies. (see picture with different observer’s positions).
And to the observers inside a gravitational field, the observed space outside their field must be observed as ‘expanding space’.
The reason is that observers measure the same time interval, wherever they are, therefore they must observe shrinking or expanding spaces somewhere else.
That’s the basis of my theory and it is confirmed by observation (see picture above) and in line with the idea of the theory of the relativity of time and space. (Einstein).
Dark matter and dark energy are not needed anymore to explain the missing mass or the expanding space. In both cases it’s a matter of ‘the relativity of space’. A matter of relativistic observations of space.
Not only the space between the observed massive bodies becomes shorter, the observed massive bodies also shrink.
We are used to think in terms of relativity of time, by comparing atomic clocks on high altitude and on low altitude or in planes and clocks standing on the ground. But we are not so familiar with observations which let see the relativity of space in experiments. But both, time AND space are relative.
So, we must also observe relativistic space distortions when we observe the night sky, like the observers of the spaceship at very high speeds, close to the speed of light, in Einstein’s special theory of relativity.
