Аннотация

This paper reinterprets the widely cited weak lensing analysis of the Bullet Cluster (1E0657-558) published by Clowe et al. (2006) using the Open Earth Polar Model (OEPM). Whereas the original paper argues the existence of dark matter due to a mass–light offset in the lensing map, the OEPM offers a field-theoretic alternative: that gravitational lensing arises from curvature and coherence in an underlying scalar energy field Ψ(r, θ, t), not from unseen collisionless mass. We demonstrate that the lensing peaks observed in the Bullet Cluster are consistent with gradients in this scalar field and require no exotic matter. The results support a geometric-energy view of gravitation and substantiate Cree Edwards' hypothesis that field coherence, not dark matter, underpins cosmic dynamics.
