Dark Matter May Behave Like Wavy Fluid

چکیده
For a long time, there were two main theories related to how our universe would end. These were the Big Freeze and the Big Crunch. In short, the Big Crunch claimed that the universe would eventually stop expanding and collapse in on itself. This collapse would result in...well...a big crunch (for lack of a better term). Think “the Big Bang”, except just the opposite. That’s essentially what the Big Crunch is. On the other hand, the Big Freeze claimed that the universe would continue expanding forever, until the cosmos becomes a frozen wasteland. This theory asserts that stars will get farther and farther apart, burn out, and (since there are no more stars bring born) the universe will grown entirely cold and eternally black. [11]

Effects of cold dark matter decoupling and pair annihilation on cosmological perturbations
Weakly interacting massive particles are part of the lepton-photon plasma in the early universe until kinetic decoupling, after which time the particles behave like a collisionless gas with nonzero temperature. The Boltzmann equation for WIMP-lepton collisions is reduced to a Fokker-Planck equation for the evolution of the WIMP distribution including scalar density perturbations. This equation ...
متن کاملDark Fluid: towards a Unification of Empirical Theories of Galaxy Rotation, Inflation and Dark Energy
Empirical theories of Dark Matter like MOND gravity and of Dark Energy like f(R) gravity were motivated by astronomical data. But could these theories be branches rooted from a more general hence natural framework? Here we propose the natural Lagrangian of such a framework based on simple dimensional analysis and co-variant symmetry requirements, and explore various outcomes in a top-down fashi...
متن کاملCosmon dark matter?
The fluctuations of the scalar field mediating quintessence – the cosmon – may play an important role in cosmology. Small fluctuations with short wavelength behave similar to a relativistic gas. In contrast, the contribution to the energy density from horizon size fluctuations may decrease less rapidly than radiation. We investigate the possibility that the cosmon fluctuations grow nonlinearly,...
متن کاملWavy stripes and squares in zero-Prandtl-number convection.
A simple model to explain the numerically observed behavior of chaotically varying stripes and square patterns in zero-Prandtl-number convection in Boussinesq fluid is presented. The nonlinear interaction of mutually perpendicular sets of wavy rolls, via higher-order modes, may lead to a competition between the two sets of rolls. The appearance of square patterns is due to a secondary forward b...
متن کاملThe clustering of dark energy
A cosmological model with pressurelles matter and a fluid of negative pressure is studied. At perturbative level, fluctuations of both fluids are considered. It is shown that at least at very large scales, the fluid of negative pressure, which represents the dark energy content of the universe, clusters like the dust fluid. Numerical integration reveals that this behaviour may also occur at sca...
