For many decades, standard cosmology has proposed a universe that is disconnected,
incoherent, chaotic, strange and literally dark.
In this cosmology, around 96% of the universe is invisible and undetectable,
composed of the mysterious entities dark matter and dark energy.
In the early 20th century, some noted astronomers proposed the concept of dark matter
as a possible solution to the anomalous stellar rotation profiles in galaxies.
The mystery was, why do Newtonian dynamics fail to explain
the impossibly high velocities of rotation of the outer stars in galaxies.
Later, scientists using galaxy rotation curves
also proposed the apparent need for many times more Dark Matter than visible mass.
For the last 85 years,
scientists on earth have hypothesized many different types of dark matter
and the search continues in earnest today
with astronomical sums invested in the technological quest
to prove Dark Matter's existence.
Yet, rather than finding any confirmation of dark matter,
space scientists have been left empty-handed
with only an ever-growing list of unresolved puzzles.
One such new puzzle completely confounds all theoretical predictions
for the standard lambda cold Dark Matter model.
A team of scientists studying the elliptical galaxy Centaurus A,
has made the astonishing discovery that the galaxy is orbited by a number of dwarf satellites
arranged in a "narrow disc."
This kind of coherent, non-random arrangement of host galaxies and their satellites
is completely unexpected in standard cosmology.
As noted in recent Phys.org report,
"...under the lambda cold dark matter model,
smaller systems of stars should be more or less randomly scattered
around their anchoring galaxies and should move in all directions."
To understand just how problematic this discovery is for standard cosmology,
these models and simulations have predicted that only 0.5%
of nearby satellite galaxy systems should exhibit this kind of pattern.
However, to astronomers' complete bafflement, 14 of the 16 Centaurus A satellites
display this pattern of common rotation along the main galaxy's plane.
And this is not the first instance when scientists have documented satellite dwarf galaxies
co-rotating in a "preferentially oriented alignment" around a central galactic mass
producing a "vast polar structure".
As noted in the phys.org report,
"...scientists have measurements for 11 Milky Way satellite galaxies,
eight of which are orbiting in a tight disc perpendicular to the spiral galaxy's plane.
There are probably other satellites in the system that can't be seen from Earth
because they're blocked by the Milky Way's dusty disc."
An earlier study also found that out of the nearby Andromeda galaxy's
27 dwarf satellites, 15 show the same impossible alignment.
A lead author of the study said of the new findings,
"There should be pure chaos and not order.
To find everywhere we look this extreme order where we expect disorder
― this is strange."
Study co-author Marcel Pawloski stated,
"...this means that we are missing something.
Either the simulations lack some important ingredient,
or the underlying model is wrong.
This research may be seen as support for looking into alternative models."
Such alternative models offered by the Electric Universe and plasma cosmology,
can no longer be ignored by institutional science.
In the Electric Universe, Birkeland current filaments pervade all of space
traveling from the Sun to the Earth to power the auroras,
flowing through molecular clouds and electromagnetically pinching material to form stars
and even organizing material over the vastest cosmic distances to form galaxies.
In this view, space has a substructure of twisted-pair current filaments
with stars and galaxies forming along them like pearls on a string.
In a forthcoming episode, retired professor of electrical engineering, Dr. Donald Scott,
will explain why cosmic scale Birkeland currents
may indeed eliminate the perceived need for dark matter.
In a scientific paper published in 2015,
Dr. Scott offered his original modeling of a Birkeland current structure
identified visually as counter rotating cylinders
as seen in the earthly auroras
and at the poles of the gas giants Saturn and Jupiter respectively.
Scheduled for publication in April of this year in the journal Progress in Physics,
Dr. Scott's paper 'Birkeland Currents and Dark Matter' explores the Birkeland current
as an explanation for the mysterious stellar velocity profiles within galaxies.
As seen in this graph, the predicted stellar velocities based on Dr. Scott's model
and the actual stellar velocities measured over nearly a century,
compare remarkably well.
In this brief clip of his forthcoming presentation, Dr. Scott explains as follows,
The velocity in these stars really in the real world,
and they've been measured like this for 85 years now,
they vary as the square root of r.
The last picture is a comparison of the predicted and actual stellar velocity
so if you take my model of the Birkeland current
and assume that its feeding the rotation in the Birkeland current
is responsible for the rotation of the galaxy,
that is the comparison between the actual velocity
which is that sort of wiggly, sort of a very lazy s-curve,
and the square root of r is the smoother curve there
and that's exactly what my Birkeland current model predicts should happen.
So there's no surprises
and these guys have been chasing their tails down a box canyon for 85 years now
looking and crying out that they know that Dark Matter exists
but they can't find it.
That's because there's no reason for it.
