Can quantum theory explain dark matter?
摘要
Certain solutions to a gravitational form of Schrodinger's equation can yield stable, macroscopic eigenstate solutions having no classical analogue, with properties resembling those of dark matter. Some more tractable solutions show: (1) radiative lifetimes far exceeding the universe's age, implying negligible emission and inherent stability w.r.t. gravitational collapse, (2) negligible interaction with EMR and visible matter, (3) potential to give rise to flat rotation curves and (4) eigenstate energies and `sizes' consistent with that expected for the galactic halo. Traditional baryonic particles occupying such eigenstates will be invisible and weakly interacting, and may be assimilated into galactic evolution scenarios without significantly disturbing BBN ratios. It is proposed that such structures may explain the nature and origin of dark matter.
