| Popis: | Dark matter effects may be attributed to interactions between the Machian strings connecting every pair of elementary particles in the observable Universe. A simple model for the interaction between Machian strings is proposed. In the early Universe, the Machian strings of a density perturbation had a spherically symmetric distribution and the interaction with the Machian strings of a test particle is found to give a multiple of the Newtonian gravitational acceleration. In a strong gravitational field, the interaction between Machian strings tends to a constant limit in order to ensure the absence of dark matter effects in the Solar System. Dark matter effects on a galactic scale may be attributed to a change in the distribution of the Machian strings around a galaxy during the process of galaxy formation. The interaction between the Machian strings of a test mass and the Machian strings of a galaxy is considered in detail and the MOND phenomenology for galaxy rotation curves is obtained.
