SILICON VALLEY, Calif., July 14, 2010 (AScribe Newswire) — Oxford University researchers have discovered a plausible form of dark matter that is a solution to what is called the “solar composition problem.” Surprisingly, it is compatible with Jerome Drexler’s relativistic-baryon dark matter announced in 2003. The observed rapid heat flow from the center of the Sun to its surface has been unexplainable until the Oxford researchers posited that the Sun whizzing around the galaxy for 5 billion of years may have collected large quantities of dark matter, thereby altering the Sun’s heat-flow parameters.
The next step for the researchers Subir Sarkar and Mads Frandsen was to determine the specific form of dark matter necessary to achieve the observed heat flows in the Sun. They were forced to rule out the “usual candidates for cold dark matter (CDM) such as supersymmetric neutralinos [also called WIMPs] which have a relic thermal abundance determined by ‘freeze-out’ from chemical equilibrium.” The problem is that these WIMPs would annihilate each other upon capture by the Sun thereby preventing a buildup of the required concentration of WIMP dark matter mass.
This ruling-out by the Oxford scientific paper of WIMP dark matter, the favorite of the world’s mainstream cosmologists, is certain to set off vigorous debates, arguments and attacks on Oxford’s paper. Defenders of the paper should include supporters of Drexler’s dark matter cosmology (also known as postmodern cosmology) because Oxford’s Sun-based dark matter is achievable by and compatible with Drexler’s astronomically confirmed dark matter. The dark matter characteristics essential to solving the “solar composition problem” can be found in the abstract of the researchers’ paper, “Asymmetric Dark matter and the Sun” published July 2, 2010 in Physical Review Letters.
The abstract reads: “Cold dark matter particles with an intrinsic matter-antimatter asymmetry do not annihilate after gravitational capture by the Sun and can affect its interior structure. The rate of capture is exponentially enhanced when such particles have self-interactions of the right order to explain structure formation on galactic scales. A ‘dark baryon’ of mass 5 GeV is a natural candidate and has the required relic abundance if its asymmetry is similar to that of ordinary baryons. We show that such particles can solve the ‘solar composition problem.’ The predicted small decrease in the low energy neutrino fluxes may be measurable by the Borexino and SNO+ experiments.”
Based on this abstract, we see that the essential requirements for the Oxford Sun-based dark matter particles is that they have a mass not far from 5 GeV , they are not self-annihilating, and to ensure the required rate of capture by the Sun note that, “The rate of capture is exponentially enhanced when such particles have self-interactions of the right order to explain structure formation on galactic scales.”
Drexler’s relativistic-baryon (proton) dark matter meets all three of these Oxford-determined dark matter requirements since (1) the lower-energy majority of Drexler’s relativistic-proton dark matter appears to have an average relativistic mass in the range of 5-10 GeV (see pages 225-227 in Drexler’s October 2009 paperback book “Our Universe via Drexler Dark Matter,”) (2) baryons do not annihilate one another, and (3) the electrically charged protons and helium nuclei naturally have a high degree of self-interactions that should exponentially enhance capture by the Sun. Also, the Sun’s magnetic field of 50 gauss should facilitate the capture of moving electrically charged protons and helium nuclei.
The Oxford researchers apparently were not aware of Drexler’s December 2003 paperback book entitled “How Dark Matter Created Dark Energy and the Sun” since they did not reference it. Part IX of this book, pages 69-78, entitled “Jerome Drexler’s Theory of Star and Sun Formation” explains how relativistic-baryon dark matter “may have helped create the mass and fuel of the Sun and trigger its fusion reaction.” That is, the relativistic protons and helium nuclei not only are captured by the Sun, as in the Oxford paper, but these baryons created the Sun as well.
It should be noted that in Drexler’s dark matter cosmology, the extragalactic cosmic ray protons we detect are probably dark matter relativistic protons dislodged from their orbits and are falling toward Earth.
Prior to the Oxford researchers’ July 2010 paper we could say (1) the only plausible explanation for the accelerating expansion of the universe, published to date, requires that the dark matter of the universe be comprised of relativistic protons/baryons; (2) the only plausible explanation for the Big Bang satisfying the Second Law of Thermodynamics, published to date, requires that dark matter be comprised of relativistic protons/baryons; (3) the only published plausible explanation for ultra-high-energy cosmic ray protons with energies above 60 EeV bombarding Earth’s atmosphere requires that dark matter be comprised of ultra-high-energy relativistic protons/baryons; (4) the only published plausible explanation for Cosmic Inflation requires that dark matter be comprised of ultra-high-energy relativistic protons/baryons; (5) the only published plausible explanation for the Cosmic Web requires that dark matter be comprised of relativistic protons/baryons; (6) the only accurate prediction of the maximum size of galaxy superclusters, published to date, requires that the dark matter of the universe be comprised of relativistic protons/baryons.
Now we can add: (7) the only plausible explanation for the “solar composition problem,” published to date, requires that dark matter be comprised of relativistic protons/baryons.
