Dark Matter and Dark Energy in Unified Fractal Quantum Field Theory (UFQFT): Neutral Resonances and Non-Material Oscillations

Abstract

The nature of dark matter and dark energy remains one of the central unresolved challenges in contemporary cosmology. Within the standard ΛCDM paradigm, dark matter is postulated as an unknown form of matter, while dark energy is reduced to a cosmological constant, yet neither has been directly explained by the Standard Model of particle physics. This study proposes an alternative interpretation based on the Unified Fractal Quantum Field Theory (UFQFT). UFQFT defines elementary particles as resonance states of two fundamental fields, the energy field (Φ) and the charge field (Ψ), within a fractal spacetime of dimension D ≈ 2.70. According to this framework, dark matter corresponds to neutral resonances—such as neutrinos and their resonance families—that coexist with ordinary matter but do not integrate into baryonic structures, an “ady-positioned” form of matter. Dark energy, by contrast, is described as non-material resonances, oscillatory modes of the Φ–Ψ fields that never condensed into particles, manifesting instead as a persistent tension in the fabric of spacetime that drives cosmic acceleration. Conceptually, these invisible but influential structures can be metaphorically compared to unseen entities such as angels or jinn—accepted as real within cultural traditions though beyond direct perception. This resonance-based interpretation not only reframes the dark sector in physical terms but also offers novel philosophical perspectives, while providing testable differences from ΛCDM through neutrino anomalies, CMB irregularities, and gravitational lensing signatures.
