Is Dark Matter Dark Energy Pressure On Galaxies Or Conserving Energy From Scalar Expansion?

 by Steven Gussman          Two models of dark matter are tested, (perhaps too) simply.  First, is the gravitation associated with "dark matter" actually due to pressure placed on gravitationally stable galaxies by the space expanding around them?  When the space in-between galaxies expands, it stands to reason that the pocket-galaxy in the middle of a sea of expanding space is being squeezed inward.  Unless my physical intuition fails me, it seems that the acceleration associated with the Hubble parameter (in reality, there may be jerk involved) could then be used as an inward velocity on The Milky Way galaxy at the radius of the "dark matter" halo.  If this acceleration were the same as that associated with a galaxy whose mass includes the major contribution of dark matter at that distance, then it would pass the first test.          Rather than using error bars / confidence intervals, I selected a small, medium, and large empirical value for each variable of inte
