Unifying Galactic Rotation and the Hubble Tension: Evidence for a Coherent Quantum Galactic Medium
Authors/Creators
Description
This paper presents a data-driven alternative to the standard ΛCDM model. Using a sample of 47 galaxies spanning all morphological types, we derive a scaling law for the bulk flow velocity v_flow — the component of galactic rotation traditionally attributed to dark matter.
Key findings:
-
v_flow scales with baryonic mass as v_flow ∝ M_bary^0.25
-
Deviations from this law are not random noise but systematic signals of galactic "coherence state"
-
Outliers cluster by environment, gas content, metallicity, and morphology — patterns ΛCDM cannot explain
-
A paired signal (DDO 154 and NGC 2403) suggests dark matter can be transferred between neighboring galaxies
-
The Hubble Tension resolves naturally as the anisotropic projection of these coherent flows along cosmic filaments
Testable predictions include:
-
60° symmetry in large-scale structure (hexagonal lattice)
-
Correlated extra-planar luminescent glow in stripped galaxies (e.g., ESO 137-001)
-
Suppressed gamma-ray windows post-supernova as decoherence events
-
Counter-rotating galaxies should show systematically lower coherence
This work is offered as a prototype — an invitation to astrophysicists with access to the original SPARC data to refine, verify, or falsify these patterns. Full spreadsheets and methods are included as supplementary materials.
