A note on the predictability of flat galactic rotation curves

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2016-06-14 v2

Abstract

Based on an exact solution of the Einstein field equations, it is proposed in this note that the dark-matter hypothesis could have led to the prediction of flat galactic rotation curves long before the discovery thereof by assuming that on large scales the matter in the Universe, including dark matter, is a perfect fluid.
