AI Foundations | Cosmology | Galactic Rotations, the Dark Matter Mismatch

…If gravity came only from what we can see, stars farther out should slow down.

But they don’t.

That mismatch is why people say “dark matter.”

I’m modeling the extra pull as an inversion effect, not invisible “stuff.”

AI Foundations | Cosmology | Galactic Rotations, the Dark Matter Mismatch

This is the setup.

Galaxies spin like there is more gravity than the visible matter can produce.

If gravity came only from what we can see, stars farther out should slow down.

But they don’t.

That gap between prediction and observation is the dark matter mismatch.

Dark matter is the mainstream name for the “extra pull.” It is a placeholder for whatever is making galaxies behave as if they contain more mass than we can detect.

My Topological Resolution of Galactic Rotation Curves via Manifold Inversion

is the full research document.

This narrative layer within the AI Foundations is about the mismatch itself, why it matters, and what different explanations are actually claiming.

Here, we will define rotation curves in plain language.

Here, we will name the default assumptions behind the slowing-down expectation.

We will show why the dark matter hypothesis became the standard patch.

Then we will introduce an alternate approach: modeling the extra pull as an inversion effect instead of invisible stuff.
