Abstract:Since general relativity (GR) has already established that matter can simultaneously have two different values of mass depending on its context, we argue that the missing mass attributed to non-baryonic dark matter (DM) actually obtains because there are two different values of mass for the baryonic matter involved. The globally obtained "dynamical mass" of baryonic matter can be understood as a small perturbation to a background spacetime metric even though it's much larger than the locally obtained "proper m… Show more
