Humble tokamak physicist owns generations of cosmological wankers
Context: Factoring in gravitomagnetism could do away with dark matter<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;phys.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;2021-03-factoring-gravitomagnetism-dark.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;phys.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;2021-03-factoring-gravitomagnetism-dar...</a><p>&gt; Current assessments of galactic rotation curves are based upon a framework of Newtonian accounts of gravity, a new paper published in EPJ C, by Gerson Otto Ludwig, suggests that if this is substituted with a general relativity-based model, the need to recourse to dark matter is relieved, replaced by the effects of gravitomagnetism.<p>&gt; In this paper, Ludwig presents a new model for the rotational curves of galaxies which is in agreement with previous efforts involving general relativity. [...] eliminating the need for dark matter. The theory still needs some development before it is widely accepted, with the author particularly pointing out that the time evolution of galaxies modelled with this framework is a complex problem [...]
