Novel Planetary Signatures from the Dark Universe

  • Published:
Astrophysics Aims and scope

“Dunkle Materie” (DM) came from unexpected cosmological observations. Nowadays within our solar system, diverse observations also defy conventional explanations, like the main physical process(es) underlying the heating of the different solar atmospheric layers. Streaming DM offers a viable common scenario following gravitational focusing by the solar system bodies. This fits as the underlying process behind the solar cycle, which was the first signature suggesting a planetary dependency. The challenge, since 1859, is to find a remote planetary impact, beyond the extremely feeble planetary tidal force. We stress the possible involvement of an external impact by some overlooked “streaming invisible matter”, which reconciles all investigated mysterious observations mimicking a not extant remote planetary force. Unexpected planetary relationships exist for both the dynamic Sun and Earth, reflecting multiple signatures for streaming DM. The local reasoning à la Zwicky is also suggestive for searches including puzzling biomedical phenomena. Favourite DM candidates are anti-quark-nuggets, magnetic monopoles, dark photons, or the composite “pearls”. Then, anomalies within the solar system are the manifestation of the dark Universe. The tentative streaming DM scenario enhances spatiotemporally the DM flux
