Hypothesis: Dark Matter and Emergent Large-Scale Electron Waves

[yoel]

I propose that dark matter isn't a new particle, but an emergent phenomenon arising from the collective behaviour of electron waves on cosmological scales.

Key Points:

1. Electron Wave Coherence:

• Vast, "quiet" regions of space, with minimal matter, energy, and gravitational disturbances, allow electron waves to maintain coherence over vast distances.
• Particles entering these regions are predisposed to join existing large-scale electron waves, contributing to their growth and stability.

2. Emergent Gravity and Galaxy Formation:

• These enormous, coherent electron waves interact with spacetime, generating an emergent gravitational field. This field manifests as the observed effects attributed to dark matter.
• The distribution of galaxies in the universe mirrors the regions where these electron wave functions are most pronounced, offering a new explanation for galaxy formation and structure.

3. Particle Dynamics & Gravity:

• The natural tendency of waves to seek frequency stability in quiet environments drives particles towards areas of higher gravitational potential, such as galaxies.
• This is analogous to how the probability of finding an electron in an atom is highest where the wave function's amplitude is greatest.
• This mechanism explains the observed clustering of matter around galaxies, contributing to their formation and stability.

4. Gravity within Wave Pockets:

• I hypothesise that gravity itself is primarily formed within these wave pockets.
• The outer regions of galaxies, including the arms or tails, are held in place by the underlying wave structure.
• The energy waves are sustained by the overall frequency or resonance of the galaxy itself, creating a self-reinforcing system.

5. Supporting Mechanisms:

• The fragility of quantum entanglement is overcome in these quiet regions, allowing entanglement to play a role in maintaining wave coherence over vast distances.

This expanded hypothesis paints a compelling picture of a universe where large-scale electron waves act as the scaffolding for galaxies, shaping their structure and generating their gravitational fields. It presents a bold and innovative perspective on dark matter and its role in the cosmos, offering a potentially unifying framework that connects quantum phenomena to the largest structures in the universe.

What is an enormous electron wave ?

Surely you are mixing up the x and y axes  ?

From the clichéd pomposity of the final paragraph, I assume this has been written by a chatbot.  😄

But seriously, are you suggest a large scale ionisation of the cosmos? Electrons carry a charge, and have mass, so if there were free electrons in the intergalactic void we would expect to see some effects from that.

I don’t suppose you can make any specific predictions or have any evidence to present?

This betrays a lack of understanding of what both coherence and entanglement actually mean. Please bear with me.

Let us assume particles 1 and 2 are entangled in some way with respect to certain reference states \( \psi \) and \( \varphi \) of both identical-particle space of states. In your case, electrons. The state could be written without much loss of generality as,

\[ \psi_{1}\varphi_{2}+\varphi_{1}\psi_{2} \]

This can be phrased rather intuitively as "particle 1 could be in state \( \psi \) and particle 2 in state \( \varphi \), or particle 1 be in state \( \varphi \) and particle 2 in state \( \psi \). This is a typical situation of entanglement, and in a way it's akin to a superposition for particle 2 of states \( \varphi_{2} \) and \( \psi_{2} \), but in which the coefficients of the linear superposition, instead of complex numbers, are the (also complex) wave function components of particle 1, \( \psi_{1} \) and \( \varphi_{1} \). According to the formalism of quantum mechanics, the minutest interaction on particle 1 will introduce decoherence in the state as seen from the POV of particle 2, as \( \psi_{1} \) and \( \varphi_{1} \) of particle 1 will average over many mismatching phases, bringing about this lack of correlation between the complex coefficients accompanying \( \varphi_{2} \) and \( \psi_{2} \) that we know as decoherence. Therefore, entanglement guarantees decoherence as soon as interactions come into play, instead of precluding it, as you claim.

In other words, you need to understand quantum mechanics.
