I have posted on the subject before, but to repeat-
The simple basic equation for the force of attraction of bodies by gravity is:
Fg = G X M1 X m2 / ( r x r) where:
Fg= force due to gravitational attraction of two masses
G= gravitational constant
M1= mass of body 1
M2= mass of body 2
r= distance between the M1 to m2
The attraction between two bodies creates acceleration due to gravity. (On earth it is 32.2 ft/sec/sec). The observation of the movement of stars
around a galaxy indicates that the velocity is more than can be accounted for by the force created by the observable mass. Therefore to make the
equation work current theorists assume that there must be more mass than can be observed, hence dark matter. Secondly, the universe seems to be
expanding at an accelerating pace. Same equation with an additional term showing a negative value on the left side of the equation reducing the force
of gravity to account for the accelerating expansion rate since the equation would indicate that the gravitational force including dark matter should
be slowing the expansion which apparently it is not.
Looking at the basic equation, the introduction of dark matter and dark energy seems to be a "variable correction factor" to make the equation
balance. In other words-"Oops, the equation doesn't balance so let's add, subtract, multiply or divide our answer by an arbitrary number to get the
right answer".
It would seem that looking at the equation above that one could account for the anomalies in observations and introduce a variable "Gravitational
Constant"(sorry about the oxymoron) as a function of distance from the black hole that apparently exists at the center of each galaxy. It would seem
to me with my laymen's knowledge that a larger Gravitational force near a black hole would account for dark matter while at the same time a weaker
gravitational force at large distance from a black hole would explain dark energy. If nothing else, it would balance the equation as easily as
introducing mysterious mass and energy that no one can seem to detect.
