Hassan, interesting work on infrared-driven galactic rotation! I've been developing a different non-dark matter approach - relativistic gravitational gear mechanics, where galactic rotation emerges from enhanced gravitational coupling between spacetime regions. It's more physics-based rather than chemistry-based like yours.

My framework achieves strong predictive accuracy across astronomical scales, but uses enhanced Einstein field equations rather than molecular interactions. Our approaches are quite different, but since we're both tackling galactic rotation without dark matter, I thought you might find it interesting to compare notes.

Would be curious to hear your thoughts on whether gravitational coupling mechanisms could complement infrared absorption effects, or if you see any potential connections. Always valuable to discuss alternative approaches with fellow researchers working outside the dark matter paradigm.

The abstract raises more questions than answers the dark matter problem. Absorption/emission of infrared light is not influencing the rotational velocity measured in neutral hydrogen, nor is able to mimick the stellar light emission, which can be controlled in near galaxies by measuring individual stars.

Thank you for taking the time to review and comment on my abstract. I appreciate your valuable feedback, and I understand your concerns regarding the role of infrared (IR) absorption and emission in relation to galactic rotation. My intention with this theoretical model is to propose an alternative hypothesis that explores whether IR radiation particularly its interactions with interstellar matter might have a measurable effect that contributes to observed rotational anomalies, traditionally attributed to dark matter. I agree that neutral hydrogen measurements and stellar light observations remain crucial tools in galactic studies. My approach does not aim to replace these methods but to consider the possibility that cumulative IR interactions might introduce previously overlooked effects. I’m currently working on expanding the model to clarify the mechanisms involved and include possible observational signatures. Your feedback is extremely helpful as I refine the manuscript. I would welcome any further thoughts or references you might recommend for improving the theoretical framework.

Thank you for your clarification. I now understand that you’re referring to rotational velocity measurements derived from neutral hydrogen (H I) emissions, which are observed via radio wavelengths and not influenced by IR radiation. That’s a valid and important point. In my abstract, however, I am proposing a different theoretical direction focusing on how infrared radiation may interact with matter such as planets or dust, potentially affecting gravitational dynamics or energy balance over time. I am not attempting to reinterpret hydrogen based rotation curves directly, but rather to explore if IR absorption/emission by planetary or interstellar bodies could offer new insight into mass energy distributions. I appreciate your insight, which helps me better frame my model and clarify its scope in the full paper.

Thank you Henri for taking the time to read and comment on my abstract. I found your gravitational gear mechanics model truly intriguing! It’s inspiring to see how you're approaching galactic rotation from a relativistic and spacetime focused perspective, while I’m exploring a chemistry-based alternative involving infrared absorption.

Even though our frameworks are quite different, yours rooted in enhanced Einstein field equations and mine in molecular-level infrared interactions, t’s exciting that we’re both working toward the same goal: explaining galaxy rotation without relying on dark matter. I agree that it’s valuable to explore whether gravitational coupling could interplay with or even enhance the effects of infrared energy distribution. It’s definitely worth asking whether these two mechanisms; gravitational and electromagnetic might co-exist or influence each other across galactic scales.

I’d be happy to discuss this further, and I welcome any collaboration or exchange of ideas that helps deepen our understanding.

Hassan,

Your point about infrared interactions potentially affecting gravitational dynamics is intriguing. I've been curious - in your work with infrared molecular interactions, have you noticed any systematic temperature patterns in asteroid belt regions?

My approach suggests there might be enhanced coupling effects around 2.8-3.2 AU (roughly where Ceres and the main belt concentrations are), and I'm wondering if your infrared observations show anything unexpected in those zones.

Would be interested to hear if you've seen any thermal signatures that don't quite fit standard models.

Just like Saturn shows distinct thermal bands due to systematic atmospheric forces, I'm curious if there might be organized thermal patterns in the asteroid belt rather than random temperature distribution.

Hassan,

Just had a thought - Saturn's rings might show exactly what we're discussing.

Saturn emits massive IR (2.5x more than it receives from Sun) which continuously heats ring particles, causing fragmentation and outgassing. Combined with gravitational resonances, this creates the distinct organized bands we see.

Could similar IR + gravitational effects be organizing asteroid belt material into thermal bands rather than random distribution?

Saturn proves gravity + IR can create spectacular organized structures. Wondering if you see smaller-scale versions in asteroid belt data.
