A new mathematical tool could change the way we understand the Universe.

It is the "Alena tensor," which allows a mathematical description of the same phenomenon from multiple points of view. It links domains that are usually separate, such as gravity, matter motion, and quantum physics.

The goal is ambitious: to use a single language to explain very different situations, from the very large to the very small.


In this approach, matter is not seen as static. It rotates, deforms, moves, and interacts with itself. These effects exist in galaxies but are often simplified in classical models.

This detail changes a lot. When a galaxy rotates, its stars and gas are not fixed. Their motion redistributes energy and rotation throughout the galaxy. According to the model, this internal motion creates an additional gravitational effect. In other words, the force that keeps stars in orbit could partly come from this organization of motion, and not from invisible matter.

If this is confirmed, then at least some of what is called "dark matter" could come not from a hidden substance, but from effects related to the motion and structure of matter itself. This could explain why galaxies rotate faster than expected. Tested on over a hundred galaxies, this idea yields results as good as, or even better than, some alternative models, such as the one called MOND, according to the study published in Physica Scripta.

The model also proposes an explanation for dark energy. Instead of adding a term to explain the expansion of the Universe, this energy would appear naturally in the equations. It would be a normal property of physical fields.

Even more surprising, this same method also works at the microscopic scale. It describes quantum vortices that, in their structure, could resemble elementary particles. In this framework, mass could appear on its own, thanks to the internal organization of these vortices. This link between rotation and fundamental properties recalls some known mechanisms in physics, without contradicting them.

However, much remains to be verified. The model still needs to explain other important phenomena and be confirmed by other researchers. For now, it is primarily a promising lead.

For the time being, remember this name: "Alena tensor" – it may well make headlines again soon.
