Attiyah's Dark Matter
Attiyah’s Dark Matter 1- Due to the universal gravitation, either any pair or any group of objects should have their own gravitational center. 2- All the space and the objects of the universe are completely full of the gravitational centers. 3- At any time, every point in the whole universe is a position of at least one gravitational center. 3- Due to the continuing motions of the objects of the universe, and due to continuing change of their relative positions, the gravitational centers either in the space or inside the objects themselves behave such as the molecules in the boiling water. ...

I'll just file this alongside your theories of the sun and the Big Bang, ok?

Well, point 1 is correct, anyway.

The OP shows a large amount of ignorance of what dark matter is.
All it does is describe gravity and center of mass - and gets that wrong! "Gravitational centers" (i.e. centers of mass) are mathematical points that have no mass of their own. The gravitational forces from the real objects in the system can be considered as acting from the center of mass. |

I would say point 2 and the first point 3 are right.
Every point in the universe will be the center of mass of 2 other points. The second point 3 is just wrong - the movements of centers of mass with the movements of matter in the universe has nothing to do with water molecules. 4 is gibberish unless he is talking about the simple use of centers of mass reference frames. 5 shows ignorance. Dark matter is matter that is dark - not centers of mass. 6 and 7 are just goofy. |

You'd be wrong, then. It depends on the distribution of mass, now, doesn't it? Since we can see that mass is not uniformly distributed,....
ETA: actually, 2 and 3.1 are wrong in a possibly interesting way. If points 1, 2, and 3.1 were correct, it would follow that the universe is both convex and closed. |

Is there some sort of contest going on somewhere that is trying to be as wrong as possible? I think we have found the #1 contender for that title!

That is right - we would have to use a homogeneous universe (unless we allow the trival case of the center of mass of two points without mass
).Even with a non-uniform distribution of mass, I would guess that it would take a rather special arrangement where a point would not be the center of mass of some collection of masses. |

Attiyah, your dark matter theory is wrong. Your sunlight theory is also wrong. Your planet theory is also wrong. Your Big-Bang-ideas-came-from-Torah theory is also wrong.
This tells us something important. What thought processes are you using to construct these theories? That thought process doesn't work very well. Please stop using it and try something else. That is what we have learned from your sun theory, planet theory, and dark matter theory. It sounds like you are intelligent and interested in science, and that's good---keep it up. It also sounds like you have not read very much about science. Rather than proposing new hypotheses right away, you ought to spend a few years just reading as much as you can about what's already been discovered. |

Actually one (or more) of the many of us (you, me, ben m, etc.) is wrong.
Doubtlessly (given the ignorance of the nature of dark matter in this thread and the other threads where you have stated similar unphysical or just wrong hypotheses), the chances are that it is you. |

Googling "Attiyah Zahdeh" reveals his long history of logging into one science-based website after another and being shown every time that his claims are invalid and that his reasoning is fallacious.
Nowhere have I found any posts of his that demonstrate him having received even a primary education in general science. |

I think the OP is using the 'who flung dung' principle of research, where the researcher (used in the loosest sense) flings lots of ideas against the wall, hoping that one of them will stick, and that someday someone else will prove it, letting the OP link back to the thread and take credit.
I think we should bear in mind that the OP's first ever post here at the forum was one in a thread on the physics of flight, (in the atmospheric sense, airplane wings and such) asking how that allowed the flights to the moon. Questions like that aren't even wrong; they indicate not only lack of facts but lack of a framework to hang those facts on. We're not dealing with someone with an education, so I'd suggest a gentle approach; pointing out where he's wrong is likely going to places his background hasn't prepared him for. It might be better to just not engage. I know I'm not the best example of that, but I try. I've actually resisted several urges to snark today, and if I can do it... One further possiblity is that we're engaging with a suspended member's sock. The fact that the OP had one post, three years ago, then began posting again a few days ago, lends support to that option. I can think of at least one poster who meets the criteria of interest in fringe physics, lack of physics education, a first language other than english, and a current suspension. I notice that suspensions seem to be getting longer, and while a member on a three day suspension might not drag out an old sock, one on a 30 day might feel more need. I'll have to leave that one to the mods. |

So what you're saying is that gravity acts twice over, you get gravity from masses, and then extra gravity from the gravity.
Is that right? |

So - if point 7 is correct, where's my share of Dark Matter?
I want it... NOW!!! |

Please read points 6 & 7:
6- At any time, the dark matter in any volume of the universe is proportional to the gravitational forces acting at the gravitational centers filling it at that time. 7- Either every object or every place in the universe has its own ever changing share of the dark matter. So, when your "NOW" becoms my "NOW", you can judge that it is inside your "NOW". Please, at what time do you want me to catch your share of dark matter? |

That was how I read it. The question is, does the extra gravity give you its own stock of extra-extra gravity?
If so, what is the functional relationship of the extra gravity G(n+1) to the gravity G(n) that generated it? There are two possibilities; either the series of additional contributions is divergent, in which case the gravitational constant is infinite and the existence of the Universe is fundamentally impossible, or the series of additional contributions is convergent, in which case the sum of all the contributions to the total gravitational effect is simply a fixed multiple of the first order gravitational constant. We can therefore define a new gravitational constant - let's call it G' - which is a constant multiple of the first order gravitational constant G, i.e. G' = KG. If not, there must be some proportionality constant between the additional gravity and the original gravity; let's call it (K-1). So the new gravitational constant G' = G + (K-1)G = KG , again a constant multiple of G. Thus, the infinite series gives us a new gravitational constant G' which is a simple multiple of the first order gravitational constant G. We can simply set G'=6.67428x10^11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2, from centuries of observation and experiment. We do not know G or K, but knowledge of neither is necessary, as their product is invariant. We therefore find that Attiyah's theory of dark matter simply reproduces the predictions of Newton's theory, but unnecessarily and arbitrarily introduces two new and unknown quantities in order to do so. It is therefore rejected on the basis of Occam's Razor. Dave |

"not even wrong" would be quite a fitting answer to the op.

Reality Check's observation:
Saying that the “Attiyah Zahdeh” of the universe is always wrong, your chances to be thoroughly and actually right will be the certain reality because he has posted his ideas over many years and

Attiyah, I may have passed off your ideas as my own and become heralded as a rising star in the scientific community (in a way that isn't verifiable), or I may not.
Which do you think is true? |
