The ΛCDM Mirage: Three 'Dark Matter Detections' Explained as Fossil Spacetime Curvature

Description:

This preprint challenges the particulate interpretation of four recent major astrophysical anomalies: the pulsar-timing acceleration "sub-halo" reported by Chakrabarti et al. (2025) , the flattened morphology of the Fermi-LAT Galactic Center Excess (GCE) analyzed by Muru et al. (2025) , the kinematic towers discovered in Gaia DR3 (Bertran 2025) and therecent detection of the day-long, repeating transient GRB 250702BDE analyzed by Levan et al.(2025). The first three within the Via Lactea.

We demonstrate that these phenomena are not independent discoveries of dark matter, but different observational manifestations of the same underlying reality: Weyl Curvature Imprints (WCId). The analysis shows that:

1- The Mass Illusion: The 10⁷ M☉ "ghost mass" detected via pulsar timing is actually a high-acceleration "wall" created by steep fossil curvature gradients, explaining the absence of any baryonic counterpart.

2- Morphological Falsification: The boxy, non-spherical shape of the GCE (q ≈ 0.67) contradicts the spherical NFW profiles predicted by ΛCDM but matches the WCI geometric anisotropy prediction (q ≈ 0.64).

3- Multi-messenger Convergence: The spatial coincidence at the 7.4 kpc galactocentric radius —linking kinematics, chemical metallicity dips, and acceleration anomalies— suggests a primordial geometric scaffold rather than a stochastic dark matter clump.

The WCI framework offers a unified, falsifiable alternative to the current dark matter paradigm, replacing fine-tuned particulate models with a purely geometric interpretation of spacetime's persistent WCI (Weyl Curvature Imprint defects) that we refer as 'scars', where there is no presence of mass.
