Astronomers generally subordinate magnetic forces to gravitational ones at all but the smallest scales. The 'Dual Proposal', however, introduces a new scale, λo=400 pc [1]. Here the photon has a real mass and the graviton an imaginary one, both of mc2=hc/λo = 10 - 25 eV. The resulting sinusoidal gravitational potential (φ = - (GM/r) Cos[kor], ko=2 π/λo) does not compromise solar system dynamics, explains the large tidal forces observed in the Milky Way, and predicts that the Galaxy has a central, physical stationary bar. The sinusoidal potential is powerless to bind large amorphous objects such as clusters of galaxies (or the Universe itself).
Here one needs the massive photon (φ = (Q/r) Exp[- kor]). Chibisov (1976) has shown that at large scales (s>>λo), a massive photon will generally provide an attractive force rather than the usual repulsive one of the massless photon. At recent meetings of the AAS I have shown how the new cosmic magnetic fields can bind the Coma cluster or strip the gas (and plasma) from the stars in the Bullet Collision (Clowe et al 2006).
In this poster, I demonstrate how magnetic fields can replace gravitational ones in cosmology. Two elements are critical. The Dark Ages are needed to explain the evolution of the scale factor a(t) from the time of nucleosynthesis to the present. Gravitational energy densities (ΔW/ΔV= (1/2) ρφ ) and magnetic energy densities (ΔW/ΔV= (1/2) J.A ) are now absolute and thus meaningful.
