Abstract

Weak lensing exhibits that rotation curves of isolated galaxies remain flat up to Mpc scale (Mistele T. et al. Astrophys. J. Lett.9692024L3). Recently we proposed that dark matter is a combination of electrostatic and vacuum energy in standard physics. In this theory, isolated galaxies may be embedded in “charged cocoons”, spheres with ±1/r2. The related circular rotation curves decay at the Mpc scale. The analytic solution is extended to the early Universe. A peak in the cosmic microwave background spectrum is expected at the arcsec scale. The induced nanometer size of the cocoons at the Big Bang makes the initial state inhomogeneous.
