The dual proposal is for both a photon of real mass and a graviton of imaginary mass. This mass is 10-25 eV, corresponding to a Compton wavelength λ of 400 pc [1]. At recent AAS meetings I have given evidence for the graviton, both in cosmology and in the Galaxy, whose dynamics is, I believe, that of the non-Newtonian sinusoidal potential, φg = -(GM/R) Cos [2πR/λ]. Only once have I discussed the massive photon [2]. Here the dual electrostatics is the Yukawa potential φe = (Q/R) exp[-2πR/λ]. The range λ = 400 pc is far too large to be seen in any laboratory test of Coulomb's law. But, for scales > λ, the modification to the magnetic part of Maxwell's stress tensor is profound (Chibisov 1976). A massive photon can provide binding to clusters of galaxies. These have extensive plasmas and consequent magnetic energies.
The bullet collision (1E0657-558) offers direct proof of the existence of dark matter (Clowe et al 2006). But the authors acknowledge that the collision discriminates only against unconventional theories of gravity alone. They do not measure B. The collision is too distant and too far south to be seen by large radio observatories such as the VLA that could quantify magnetic fields.
In this poster I show how a massive photon and the sinusoidal potential (which affects gravitational lensing) can explain the bullet collison without the need for dark matter. Refs: [1] "Analogies between electricity and gravity", Metrologia 41 (2004) S115-S124. [2] "Is a massive photon needed to bind the Coma cluster?" BAAS 34 (2002) 708.
