Possible evidence for gravitational bohr orbits in double galaxies

  • Published:
Lettere al Nuovo Cimento (1971-1985)

Summary

It is suggested that a double galaxy may be the cosmic analog of a hydrogen atom, in the sense that quantum mechanics applies to both. An empirica approach is suggested to explore a possible Bohr model for double galaxies and some preliminary calculations are presented. The calculations provide cautious support for gravitational Bohr orbits in double galaxies.
