A replacement for Newtonian gravity is proposed: mφ(r) = −(GmM/r) cos(2πr/λo). (This replacement is movated by the recent observaon that only a very few central point potenals have an associated uniqueness theorem.) The spacing of external shells around the ellipcal galaxy NGC 3923 gives a tentave value of 1800 light‐years for the universal constant λo. This value of λo also is accommodated by the observed distribuon in the diameters of lenses associated with bright barred disk galaxies and by the spacing of gravitaonally lensed images in the Einstein Cross (2237+0305). The potenal is consistent with the flat rotaon curves and the Tully‐Fisher law for disk galaxies. It also explains several features of our Galaxy. A previously catalogued asymmetry in the azimuthal velocity distribuon of stars near the is interpreted as evidence for the hypothesis and against a smoothly‐varying spherical halo of galacc dark maer. The observed broad distribuon in radial space velocies of nearby stars is only understood if the sun is near an inner turning point. This point is confirmed directly. Circular features near the Galacc center are consistent with the potenal as is a central bar. The bar is related dynamically to the spiral arms and, surprisingly, to the dwarf spheroidals. The dispersion in the radial velocity within each of the nearby spheroidal dwarf galaxies is seen as a consequence of the Galacc potenal, rather than internal dark maer. Catalogued radial velocies of the globular clusters test both the proposed and the Newtonian potenals. Original Abstract Manuscript cont.

The cosinusoidal potenal is wrien in a form appropriate for general relavity. This is done by adding a term −ηµνΛ to the usual term gµνΛ which expresses the cosmological constant. Λ is 2 idenfied with λo: . Λ = −(1/2)(2π/λo) . A consequence of the relavisc formulaon is that the bending of light by gravitaonal lenses, even those with no apparent lens, can probably be explained without dark maer. Alternavely, the phase and rapid oscillaon of the cosinusoidal potenal reduces to nearly zero its contribuon to the me delay between images. The remaining, geometric, me delay is predicted to be 25 days between the two semi‐circular rings in the radio lens MG 1634+1346. This predicon is yet to be tested. The cosmological implicaons are invesgated. Surprisingly, the self‐interacon of a large −1 homogeneous sphere is explosive, a feature which assures that the age of the universe ≃ H o −1 (not (2/3)H o ). The proposed value of λo together with the present density of baryons point to an inflaonary period at a red shi z ≃ 100,000. This is a lookback me which is consistent with that expected from observed periodicies in present galacc densies. The potenal also provides a natural explanaon for the stability of the recently discovered chain galaxies. Finally, this proposal requires that gravitaonal radiaon have a dispersive group velocity, −2 −2 2 1/2 vg = c(1 + ν λo c ) > c. The consequences of this tachyonic behavior are discussed. The appendix addresses the complementary issue of whether the photon has a small mass, −2 −2 2 1/2 mγ = h/λo, and thus a velocity, vγ = c(1 − ν λo c ) . Evidence for such a massive photon is found in the magnec fields within the Galaxy, M31, and the Coma cluster.

Resolution is insufficient to observe variations on a scale of 400pc. Deflecon Angle α versus Image Displacement Angle θ

Deflection angle α versus image displacement angle θ for light from a quasar Q not quite on axis of the intervening galaxy. Image occurs whenever the line intersects the solid curve. Since magnification is inversely proportional to angle between the curve and the line, only detectable images are at points of tangency, as illustrated for positive θ.
