Is dark matter a superfluid sea?

This Dark Matter Theory Could Solve a Celestial Conudrum

Quote
Khoury and Berezhiani are nearing the point where they can extract testable predictions that would allow astronomers to explore whether our galaxy is swimming in a superfluid sea.

Robert B. Laughlin, Nobel Laureate in Physics, had this to say:

Quote
the empty vacuum of space … is filled with 'stuff'

Laughlin’s ‘stuff’ is the superfluid sea which fills ‘empty’ space that is displaced by ordinary matter.

Einstein: Ether and Relativity

Quote
According to the general theory of relativity space without ether is unthinkable; for in such space there would be no propagation of light

Einstein’s ether is the superfluid sea which fills ‘empty’ space that is displaced by ordinary matter.

Quote
the state of the [ether] is at every place determined by connections with the matter and the state of the ether in neighbouring places

The state of the superfluid sea at every place determined by its connections with the matter and the state of the superfluid sea in neighboring places is the state of displacement of the superfluid sea.

NASA's Gravity Probe B Confirms Two Einstein Space-Time Theories

Imagine the Earth as if it were immersed in honey. As the planet rotates, the honey around it would swirl, and it's the same with space and time

Honey has mass and so does the superfluid sea. The swirl is the state of displacement of the superfluid sea connected to and neighboring the Earth.

The superfluid sea displaced by the Earth pushing back and exerting pressure toward the Earth is gravity. What is referred to geometrically as curved spacetime physically exists in nature as the state of displacement of the superfluid sea. The state of displacement of the superfluid sea is gravity.

The superfluid sea is likely a sea of massive dark photons which are displaced by the ordinary matter.

Glenn Randall talks about dark matter

Quote
dark matter might interact with itself via some yet unknown dark force … the particles could be something we call dark photons … the dark photon would have mass

The massive dark photons displaced by the Earth pushing back and exerting pressure toward the Earth is gravity. What is referred to geometrically as curved spacetime physically exists in nature as the state of displacement of the massive dark photons. The state of displacement of the massive dark photons is gravity.

The state of displacement of the sea of massive dark photons is the quantization of gravity.

In de Broglie's double solution theory there are two waves. There is the wave-function wave which is statistical, non-physical and is used to determine the probabilistic results of experiments. It is a mathematical construct only. It doesn't physically exist. There is also a physical wave in a “subquantic medium” which guides the particle.

Since 1954, when this passage was written, I have come to support wholeheartedly an hypothesis proposed by Bohm and Vigier.

According to this hypothesis, the random perturbations to which the particle would be constantly subjected, and which would have the probability of presence in terms of [the wave-function wave], arise from the interaction of the particle with a “subquantic medium” which escapes our observation and is entirely chaotic, and which is everywhere present in what we call “empty space”.

De Broglie’s “subquantic medium” is the superfluid sea.

Interpretation of quantum mechanics by the double solution theory - Louis de BROGLIE

Quote
When in 1923-1924 I had my first ideas about Wave Mechanics I was looking for a truly concrete physical image, valid for all particles, of the wave and particle coexistence discovered by Albert Einstein in his "Theory of light quanta". I had no doubt whatsoever about the physical reality of waves and particles.

any particle, even isolated, has to be imagined as in continuous “energetic contact” with a hidden medium

For me, the particle, precisely located in space at every instant, forms on the v wave a small region of high energy concentration, which may be likened in a first approximation, to a moving singularity.

the particle is defined as a very small region of the wave

Particles of ordinary matter move through and displace the superfluid sea, causing it to wave.

In a double slit experiment it is the superfluid sea that waves.

In the following video the silicon bath represents the chaotic superfluid sea. In the video, in the double slit experiment example, the particle travels through a single slit and the associated wave in the superfluid sea passes through both.


In a double slit experiment the particle always travels through a single slit and the associated wave in the superfluid sea passes through both. As the wave exits the slits it creates wave interference which alters the direction the particle travels as it exits a single slit. Over time the particles form an interference pattern. Strongly detecting the particle exiting a single slit destroys the cohesion between the particle and its associated wave, the particle continues on the trajectory it was traveling and does not form an interference pattern.

It is the chaotic nature of the superfluid sea which causes the Casimir effect.


It is the chaotic nature of the superfluid sea which leads to the probabilistic results of experiments.

In the following articles the fluid is the superfluid sea.

Fluid mechanics suggests alternative to quantum orthodoxy

Quote
The fluidic pilot-wave system is also chaotic. It’s impossible to measure a bouncing droplet’s position accurately enough to predict its trajectory very far into the future. But in a recent series of papers, Bush, MIT professor of applied mathematics Ruben Rosales, and graduate students Anand Oza and Dan Harris applied their pilot-wave theory to show how chaotic pilot-wave dynamics leads to the quantumlike statistics observed in their experiments.

When Fluid Dynamics Mimic Quantum Mechanics

Quote
If you have a system that is deterministic and is what we call in the business ‘chaotic,’ or sensitive to initial conditions, sensitive to perturbations, then it can behave probabilistically,” Milewski continues. “Experiments like this weren’t available to the giants of quantum mechanics. They also didn’t know anything about chaos. Suppose these guys — who were puzzled by why the world behaves in this strange probabilistic way — actually had access to experiments like this and had the knowledge of chaos, would they have come up with an equivalent, deterministic theory of quantum mechanics, which is not the current one? That’s what I find exciting from the quantum perspective.
