Zusammenfassung: | The unfolding revolution in observational astrophysics and cosmology has lead to numerous puzzles: "supermassive" galactic central black holes, galactic "dark matter" halos, relationships between these black hole "effective" masses and star dispersion speeds in galactic bulges, flat spiral galaxy rotation curves, cosmic filaments, and the need for "dark matter" and "dark energy" in fitting the Friedmann universe expansion equation to the supernovae and CMB data. Herein is reported the discovery of a dynamical theory for space which explains all these puzzles in terms of 3 constants; G, α - which experimental data reveals to be the fine structure constant α ≅ 1/137, and δ which is a small scale distance, perhaps a Planck length. It is suggested that the dynamics for space arises as a derivative expansion of a deeper quantum foam phenomenon. This discovery amounts to the emergence of a unification of space, gravity and the quantum. |
