Abstract:In this paper we propose a new perspective for explaining galaxy rotation curves.
We conjecture that there is a gravitational moment of inertia which, together with
gravitational mass, contributes to the gravitational potential. We substantiate a
formula for the potential created by the moment of inertia. We validate our model by
computing orbital rotation velocities for several galaxies and showing that computed
rotation velocities correspond to the … Show more
