Galactic Rotation Curves in the Framework of Material Space Theory
Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive quantitative expla-nation for the anomalous rotation velocities of stars in spiral galaxies, grounded in the Theory of Material Space (MST). We demonstrate that the observed acceleration discrepancy—specifically the Radial Acceleration Relation (RAR)—emerges naturally from the inertia and flow of the material vacuum. This model accounts for flat rotation curves without the dark matter hy-pothesis, interpreting the "missing mass" as a manifestation ofthe spatial velocity field.
