Abstract-
Turbulence was inhibited by photon viscosity and damped by buoyancy
forces of the first structures as the expanding primordial plasma
fragmented into proto-supercluster to proto-galaxy objects at
viscous Schwarz scales starting 30,000 years after the Big Bang.
After photon decoupling at 300,000 years, the nonturbulent neutral
primordial gas fragmented into proto-globular-cluster mass clumps of
small planetary mass objects that persist as the galactic dark
matter according to a new gravitational condensation theory of
Gibson 1996, supporting the Schild 1996 suggestion from measured
twinkling frequencies of lensed quasar images that the mass of the
lens galaxy is dominated by "rogue planets ... likely to be the
missing mass". The weakly collisional nonbaryonic dark matter
diffused to fill the voids, eventually fragmenting at diffusive
Schwarz scales to form the observed superhalos of galaxy clusters.
