A Quantum Multiverse approach to Dark Matter and Dark Energy

Abstract

In this paper we discuss a Quantum Multiverse or "Many Worlds Interpretation" (MWI) of Dark Energy and Dark Matter. The universe is viewed cosmologically as a fermionic fluid with a hydrostatic pressure from "Zitterbewegung", the quantum "zig zagging" of Dirac particles. At each point in space-time the pressure from all possible velocity states existing in the Many Worlds sums to provide a dark energy. Visible matter is the matter observed or measured in a particular velocity state and dark matter is then considered as the unobserved fermion velocity contributions from different orthogonal spatial directions. The MWI model predicts the ratios of visible matter to be 5.1%, dark matter 25.4% and dark energy 69.5%, which are close to values observed experimentally.
