Explaining Imbalance of Tidally Ejected Stars from Open Stars Clusters without MOND
Stéphane Maes
Abstract
Results from a recent paper, and accompanying popular articles, have argued that the observed asymmetry in the numbers, and distributions, of stars tidally ejected in front, versus at the tail of open stars clusters, would favor the MOND theory (Modified Newtonian dynamics), over Newton gravity, and hence General Relativity (GR). This paper disputes such conclusions by showing that the observed asymmetry can equally well be qualitatively explained with multi-fold mechanisms, which propose that macroscopic entanglements between real particles are behind the effects of Dark Matter, and that entanglements of virtual particles explain gravity. This is captured by the E/G conjecture. Considering other similar results, and the fact that we encounter hints of multi-folds in our real universe, in particular with GR at Planck scales, we believe that the explanation proposed in our paper is another viable alternative to relying on MOND. As the multi-fold theory recovers GR, our approach does not require modifying GR, with ideas like MOND. In such a universe we can justify why more starts are ejected in the front than at the tail of galaxy clusters, where the galaxies tends to dilute.
