A New Solution to the Bullet Cluster Mass Offset
Abstract
This paper presents a formal extension of the Theory of Material Space to dy-namic gravitational systems. We address the long-standing "Dark Matter" problem in the Bullet Cluster (1E 0657-558) by introducing the concept of kinematically in-duced spatial flow. We propose that gravity is the physical velocity of a material spatial medium flowing into baryonic matter. By applying a hydrodynamic analogy of "Moving Gravitational Sinks," we demonstrate that high-velocity stellar clusters induce an intensified spatial flow velocity (v) in the region preceding their motion. This "dynamic suction" effect naturally accounts for the observed offset between gravitational lensing peaks and X-ray emitting gas, removing the necessity for non-baryonic Dark Matter particles.
