Abstract
Statement of the Problem: Nanotechnology in the science of the very small and the search for dark matter in the very large universe may appear to be unrelated, but in fact find commonality in nanoparticles or NPs. In nanotechnology, NPs are known
to conserve heat by emitting EM radiation instead of increasing in temperature because the Planck law of QM requires the heat capacity of the quantum sized NPs to vanish. QM stands for quantum mechanics. In 1926, Hubble discovered the universe was expanding based on redshift measurements of light from recessing galaxies. But cosmic dust NPs of mostly silicates permeate the universe. Upon the NPs absorbing the galaxy light on the way to the Earth, an additional redshift above the Hubble redshift occurs. Recession velocities are therefore overstated to the extent that to hold galaxy clusters together dark matter is thought to exist. But if Hubble redshift is corrected for cosmic dust, dark matter need not exist as the galaxy clusters are held together by Newtonian mechanics. Because of the ubiquity of cosmic dust, all astronomical velocity measurements based on Hubble redshift are most likely overstated, e.g., the long-standing galaxy rotation problem may be resolved without the need for dark matter if the redshift velocities are corrected for cosmic dust.
Findings: Classical physics that allows the atoms in quantum sized dust NPs to have the heat capacity to fluctuate in temperature has misdirected cosmology to an expanding universe. Contrarily, QM argues the Universe is not expanding suggesting cosmology return to Einstein’s once upon a time notion of a static and dynamic universe.
Recommendations: Searches for dark matter be discontinued in favor of redshift measurements in cosmic dust.
