ABSTRACT: Analogous to a black body, the empty space surrounding a massive body is theoretically envisioned to radiate thermal gravitational energy in accordance with Planck’s radiation law. Gravitational black-body radiation offers a remarkably compelling solution to the deep, long-standing questions concerning galaxy rotation curves and strong gravitational lensing by large astrophysical systems, without the need to impose a dark matter or massive graviton hypothesis. As with the quantized orbits of the electron in the atom and the classical physics of Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism, gravitational black-body radiation represents a truly profound break from the classical physics of Einstein’s general theory of relativity and the emergence of the fundamental quantum nature of gravity.
