This Dark Matter Theory Could Solve a Celestial Conundrum

our galaxy is swimming in a superfluid sea

Dark Matter More Ubiquitous Than We Ever Thought

dark matter is smooth, distributed more evenly throughout space than we thought

Robert B. Laughlin, Nobel Laureate in Physics, endowed chair in physics, Stanford University, had this to say:

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

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

Einstein: Ether and Relativity

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 smoothly distributed superfluid sea which fills ‘empty’ space that is displaced by ordinary matter.

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.

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.

NON LINEAR WAVE MECHANICS by LOUIS DE BROGLIE

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

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.
