Many galaxies show a greater gravity than it should, basing on their visible (gas and stars) mass. Now it is accepted to explain dark matter (TM), which gives them additional weight.

Eris and her companion Dysnomia (illustration : NASA, ESA, M.Brown).

But the physics of Dragan Haidukevich (Dragan Slavkov Hajdukovic) of the European organization for nuclear research (CERN) there is another explanation. Vacuum, according to modern views, full of emerging and disappearing (in force on mutual annihilation) particles, which we do not notice only because their life and death happen on extremely short periods of time, so we don't even have time to register their devices.

Mr. Haydukevich believes that these are constantly appearing and disappearing, "virtual"particles have the opposite gravitational "charge", just as there are positive and negative electric charge. At the same time, according to his concept, matter and antimatter have gravitational charges of opposite sign, but because they gravitational repel each other - perhaps, with the formation of dipoles. In the gravitational field of such particles will create a secondary field, which in the case of galaxies can explain their large gravitational effects observed at low weight.

Next. If the above virtual particles have a gravitational charge, then, being scattered in space-time, and they give a small charge (gravity and anti-gravity), which makes the objects in the Universe with acceleration to scatter in different directions. Remind: now this role is attributed dark energy (DAE), the need for which, therefore, removed the theory of Dragan Haidukevich. As the need for TM.

How to check out this interesting alternative to TM/TE? The researcher proposes to recall the way in which Einstein once measured the effects of his theory on the example of mercury. Due to the gravitational influence of other planets he feels precession.

In the XIX century it was noticed that this is slightly not as promised, Newtonian physics. Einstein showed that predicted by his theory of the curvature of space-time must lead to this result.

To verify the hypothesis scientist offers to turn to the dwarf planet Aride and her companion Dysnomia. The distance from this system to the Sun is so large that relativistic effects caused by the enormous gravity of light, for Eris (extremely small. Therefore, the precession of the revolving around her Dysnomia should be determined Newtonian physics and to be equal to 13 seconds of arc per 100 years.

If the quantum gravitational effects described Dragan Hajdukovic, and really influence the situation in the macrocosm, in fact the precession of Dysnomia will be equal to 190 arc seconds in 100 years.

The measurements are so accurate that is sure physicist, can be done using existing monitoring tools. By the way, this is only a part of his unusual concepts.

The theory was published in the journal Astrophysics and Space Science, and with its Preprint available here.
