On dark matter and dark energy

Abstract

The dark matter hypothesis was created to explain the reason for the preservation of stellar clusters from dispersion. The weak point of this hypothesis is the great age of space, which is 13.8 billion years. Based on experimental data, it is shown that the age of space does not exceed 10 thousand years. In this case, the hypothesis of dark matter is not needed, since stellar clusters cannot scatter in such short cosmic time. The dark energy hypothesis was created to explain the reason for the accelerated expansion of space. The basis for this phenomenon is a large amount of spectral redshift of distant luminous space objects. It is shown that this value is mainly determined by the significant absorption of light energy of distant space objects by a huge amount of intergalactic gas, and not by the movement of these objects. In this case, the hypothesis of dark energy is not needed, and space should not rapidly expand and scatter in space.
