Co-Located Centers: Observational Support for Displaced Supersolid Dark Matter as the Source of Spacetime Curvature

In a wide range of dynamically disturbed galaxy clusters, the center of the dark matter halo—as determined by non-lensing methods—coincides with the center of spacetime curvature as inferred by gravitational lensing. This co-location persists even in systems where the baryonic matter, including dominant gas components, is spatially displaced from the dark matter. We argue that this empirical pattern is not naturally explained by models in which spacetime curvature is generated by the total mass-energy content. Instead, it is more consistent with the notion that the dark matter halo is not an independent structure, but a displaced region of a gravitationally responsive medium—supersolid dark matter—displaced by the ordinary matter [1].This interpretation accounts for both the observed co-location and the absence of any measurable baryonic influence on the curvature center.

Abstract

In a wide range of dynamically disturbed galaxy clusters, the center of the dark matter halo—as determined by non-lensing methods—coincides with the center of spacetime curvature as inferred by gravitational lensing. This co-location persists even in systems where the baryonic matter, including dominant gas components, is spatially displaced from the dark matter. We argue that this empirical pattern is not naturally explained by models in which spacetime curvature is generated by the total mass-energy content. Instead, it is more consistent with the notion that the dark matter halo is not an independent structure, but a displaced region of a gravitationally responsive medium—supersolid dark matter—displaced by the ordinary matter [1].This interpretation accounts for both the observed co-location and the absence of any measurable baryonic influence on the curvature center.
