It is still a challenging problem to the theoretical physicists to know the exact nature of the galactic dark matter which causes the galactic rotational velocity to be more or less a constant. We have proposed that the dark matter as an…
We investigate galactic rotation curves in $f(T)$ gravity, where $T$ represents a torsional quantity. Our study centers on the particular Lagrangian $f(T)=T+\alpha{T^n}$, where $|n|\neq 1$ and $\alpha$ is a small unknown constant. To do…

It was recently shown that in cosmology the gravitational action of faraway matter has quite relevant effects, if retardation of the forces and discreteness of matter (with its spatial correlation) are taken into account. Indeed, far matter…
