General Theory of Relativity Confirms of Dark Matters
All observations in astronomy, are based on light (electromagnetic radiation) emitted from stars and galaxies. According to the general theory of relativity; the light will be affected by gravity. At the same time all interpretations in astronomy are based on the correctness of the theory of relatively, but it has been difficult to accurately test Einstein's theory of gravity on scales larger than the solar system. But in an era with the technological ability it is easier to actually measure such phenomena as cosmological gravitational red shift..
Observations of large distances in the universe are based on measurements of the red shift, which is a phenomenon where the wavelength of the light from distant galaxies is shifted more and more towards the red with greater distance. The red shift indicates how much the universe has expanded from when the light left until it was measured on Earth.
Galaxy clusters are accumulations of thousands of galaxies, held together by their own gravity. This gravity affects the light being sent out into space from the galaxies. The researchers have studied the 8000 galaxies lying in the middle of the galaxy clusters and those lying on the periphery and measured the wavelengths of the light.
They could measure small differences in the red shift of the galaxies and see that the light from galaxies in the middle of a cluster had to 'crawl' out through the gravitational field, while it was easier for the light from the outlying galaxies to emerge. Then they measured the entire galaxy cluster's total mass and with that got the gravitational potential. By using the general theory of relativity they could calculate the gravitational red shift for the different locations of the galaxies.. The analyses of observations of galaxy clusters show that the red shift of the light is proportionally offset in relation to the gravitational influence from the galaxy cluster's gravity thus confirming the theory of relativity.
The main components of the universe is dark energy, which according to the theoretical models acts like a kind of vacuum that causes the expansion of the universe to accelerate. According to the calculations, which are based on Einstein's theory of relativity, dark energy constitutes 72 percent of the structure of the universe.
Now the general theory of relativity has been tested on a cosmological scale and this confirms that the general theory of relativity works and that means that there is a strong indication for the presence of dark energy.
Question';- If generall theory of relativity is true on cosmological scale, then can it be easily applicable in the space of God Particle Bosons? I am not sure. Can someone enlighten my darkness on this simple issue?
