Summary
This episode explores the Alena Tensor, a proposed mathematical framework that challenges the need for unseen entities like dark matter and dark energy. Instead, it attributes cosmic phenomena to the intrinsic dynamics of spacetime, including rotation and energy flow within galaxies. The model reproduces observed galaxy rotation curves and reframes dark energy as an internal property of physical fields, rather than an external force. It also hints at connections between quantum vortices and the structure of elementary particles. While still under investigation, this approach marks a shift from searching for invisible substances to uncovering hidden structures in the laws of physics—with implications that could reshape modern cosmology.
