Dark Flow Reinterpreted as a Super-Horizon

Dark Flow Reinterpreted as a Super‑Horizon develops a structural explanation for the large‑scale peculiar velocities observed across galaxy clusters. Rather than treating dark flow as an anomaly or an artifact of measurement, the paper introduces the Super‑Horizon Gravitational Gradient (SHGG): a horizon‑scale curvature field capable of generating coherent drift without violating cosmological expansion or invoking exotic physics. By restoring the missing geometric and dynamical layers, the SHGG framework reframes dark flow as a natural consequence of gravitational binding across the horizon. The analysis clarifies the physical origin of the observed directional motion and situates dark flow within a broader structural architecture of the universe

Abstract

Dark Flow Reinterpreted as a Super‑Horizon develops a structural explanation for the large‑scale peculiar velocities observed across galaxy clusters. Rather than treating dark flow as an anomaly or an artifact of measurement, the paper introduces the Super‑Horizon Gravitational Gradient (SHGG): a horizon‑scale curvature field capable of generating coherent drift without violating cosmological expansion or invoking exotic physics. By restoring the missing geometric and dynamical layers, the SHGG framework reframes dark flow as a natural consequence of gravitational binding across the horizon. The analysis clarifies the physical origin of the observed directional motion and situates dark flow within a broader structural architecture of the universe
