Does "dark matter" make up large proportions of those galaxies?

Newtonian gravity behaves differently at very large scales of mass and distance, i.e., galaxy scales, in contra-indication to the assumption that massive quantities of invisible, or "dark matter" make up large proportions of those galaxies.

Your discussion statement question is:

• "Does 'dark matter' make up large proportions of those galaxies? Newtonian gravity behaves differently at very large scales of mass and distance, i.e., galaxy scales, in contra-indication to the assumption that massive quantities of invisible, or 'dark matter' make up large proportions of those galaxies."

The phrase "Newtonian gravity" refers to a very specific equation relating mass and acceleration, so saying it behaves differently under some condition is not a correct usage of the phrase. Newtonian gravity is Newtonian gravity, and it gives incorrect results at scales greater than the solar system. There is a significant body of research on modified Newtonian gravity, and you can find it by searching on the phrase or "MOND".

Your question"Does dark matter make up large proportion of those galaxies?" is the question that numerous branches of research are investigating either experimentally or theoretically. First of course is the search for any experimental evidence of any matter that couples gravitationally but not via the electromagnetic field. No evidence of any such matter has been found. Second is that there is no such matter expected from current models such as the so called standard model of physics.

Even if there were some type of matter that couples gravitationally but not via electro-magnetic coupling, the number of non-conforming physical observations cannot be solved by such matter. The galaxies not only have a rotation that is unexplained by GR, but the galaxies interacting in clusters, and the clusters of galaxies interacting in superclusters could not simultaneously be described by such matter regardless of its distribution patterns. Additionally, gravitational lensing observed due to galaxies and clusters of galaxies could not be described by GR simply by applying such conjectured matter. The number of non-conforming observations cannot be solved by adding matter or energy, so general relativity should be abandoned as a dead end. Newtonian gravity does not apply, and no known modification of Newtonian gravity describes all the observed interactions. Modern physics will only progress when GR is abandoned and my research based on special relativity is adopted. See

According to my theory, the influence of quantum entanglement on spacetime curvature could provide an alternative explanation for the gravitational effects attributed to dark matter in galaxies. Traditional models suggest that large proportions of invisible “dark matter” are required to account for the observed gravitational behavior at galaxy scales. This is because, under Newtonian gravity, the visible mass of galaxies cannot account for the gravitational forces observed, leading to the hypothesis that there must be additional, unseen mass—dark matter.

However, my research proposes that quantum entanglement could be influencing spacetime curvature in a way that mimics the effects of this “missing” dark matter. If quantum entanglement can alter the curvature of spacetime, it might enhance the gravitational pull within galaxies without requiring massive quantities of unseen matter. This would mean that the observed discrepancies at galactic scales could be due to quantum entanglement effects rather than vast amounts of dark matter.

In this view, while dark matter has been the dominant explanation, it might be possible that the gravitational anomalies are instead the result of entanglement-induced modifications to spacetime. This theory could offer a new perspective on why Newtonian gravity appears to behave differently at large scales, suggesting that the need for dark matter could be reconsidered in light of quantum effects on gravity.

No ! Dark Matter, like Dark Energy, is simply a 'place holder' for an unknown source of energy which cannot presently be explained excepting via speculation and related hypotheses. If either or both do not exist, their replacement will do damage to, or also cause the replacement of mainstream cosmology, by far simpler but presently unrecognized alternative(s).

Dark matter is widely believed to make up a significant proportion of galaxies, with estimates suggesting it comprises about 85% of all matter in the universe. This understanding is based on observations of gravitational effects that can't be explained by visible matter alone. However, it's important to note that dark matter hasn't been directly detected, and some scientists propose alternative explanations for these gravitational effects, such as modifications to our understanding of gravity or quantum effects. For now, the dark matter hypothesis remains the most widely accepted explanation among astrophysicists for the observed gravitational behavior in galaxies and larger cosmic structures.

The Concepts of "dark matter" and "dark energy" are only theoretical assumptions grounded on an erroneous conclusion drawn by Zwicky in the 1930's, from an arbitrary calculation that he made with the virial theorem, grounded on an unverified assumption that emerged from the theory of General relativity.

All effectively collected data about planetary and stellar bodies' trajectories collected over time are in strict harmony with the inverse square attraction law with distance established from the data collected by Ticho Brahe, from which Kepler abstracted his 3 laws, and from which Newton proved that his concept of force applied by re-deriving these three laws from his acceleration mechanics.

All other data collected at the astronomical level as well as at the subatomic level converge to confirm this interaction law. Put in perspective from the subatomic level up to the astronomical level with all historical formal sources, all now in the public domain to access via internet links, provided in this paper:
