The problem of dark matter has been completely solved

Mechanism-Revealed Physics (30/40) ----- by Bingcheng Zhao

Completely solving the problem of dark matter (unveiling the mystery of dark matter): the problem of dark matter (i.e., essential understanding of the fundamental nature of dark matter) is widely recognized as one of the greatest challenges to science in the 21st century. The problem of dark matter has been completely solved by revealing the mechanism thus identifying the essence of dark matter with the newly established MRBHT (=Mechanism-Revealed Black Hole Theory, P. 541 ~ 548, 5.5, Ch.5B, reference #1). Be clarified, in solving the problem of dark matter, the concept and implication of black holes is based on MRBHT, rather than from current postulate-based black hole theory, i.e., mechanism-revealed black holes rather than postulate-based black holes.

Based on MRBHT, when the mass of a hugely massive astronomical object is large enough up to the extent at which formation of Zhao’s black hole radius is required, the hugely massive astronomical object becomes a black hole, and the mass of the hugely massive astronomical object thereby becomes the mass in the black hole. While the huge mass itself residing in a black hole is invisible thus looks dark to the observers far away from the black hole, its existence generates two observable effects in its vastly affecting extending region. One is that it exerts tremendous gravity on those smaller astronomical objects orbiting the black hole--causing them orbiting much faster than if there were no the black hole. Another is that the inertia principle of photon traveling causes light rays bending when they are passing through the vastly extending region. These two effects exactly match and fully explain the two observed phenomena presently ascribed to the existence of dark matter. Therefore, the mechanism of dark matter is that the huge mass in a black hole increases the gravity and reduces the gravitational scales of space and time greatly in the vast extending region of the black hole, consequently in this region, stars orbit faster; light rays bend due to the inertial principle of photon traveling. The essence of dark matter is the mass in black holes. As a result, the concise definition is that: dark matter is the huge amount of mass residing in black holes, and it thereby generates significant gravitational effects in the vast extending regions surrounding these black holes, such as stars orbiting faster and light rays bending. In short, dark matter is the mass in black holes, and the mass in black holes is dark matter. As assisting helpful information, eight available clues supportive of or consistent with this conclusion that dark matter is the mass in black holes are provided and analyzed (P. 562 ~ 564, 5.7.2, Ch.5C, reference #1).

The key to understanding of this solving the problem of dark matter: (i) as long as you have known the greatest equation in the history of science, which is Einstein’s famous mass-energy equation (E = mc^2 or E0 = mc^2), you will easily understand this solving the problem of dark matter, because the law of object’s mass doing work (OMDW) (P. 93 ~ 109, Ch.1A, reference #1), which is the root of this solving the problem of dark matter (P. 895, reference #2), has also revealed the mechanism behind the greatest equation (P. 114 ~ 118, Ch.1B, reference #1). (ii) The newly established MRBHT is the key to solving the fundamentally important problem of dark matter.
