Gravitomagnetic Stern-Gerlach experiment in space using Earth gravitomagnetic field. Importance for the direct measurement of quantum mechanical moment of elementary particles.

It is well accepted that gravitomagnetic field is extremely weak and just recently was measured using satellites. However, one of the problems of the physics - the weakness of the gravitational force - may have the answer connected with the presence of very heavy gravitational-antigravitational pairs of virtual particles in the quantum vacuum [1]. Very much like the electrostatic force is limited by the presence of electron-positron virtual pairs in the quantum vacuum, the gravitational field is so weak because the very massive virtual pairs included antigravitational particle are polarized by the gravity of the tested particle and thus attenuates the force perceptibly [1].
But Higgs boson is not fermion from ordinary spin definition and seemingly should not have any antigravitational counterpart. The hypothesis is the presence of one more quantum number, close to spin but revealed by the mechanical moment decoupled from charge. Indeed, Einstein-De Haas experiment revealed that the reverse of the orbital magnetic moment forces the macroscopic object to rotate, thus connecting directly the mechanical moment and magnetic moment. For the orbital moment this experiment demonstrates full mechanical moment. But situation is not so obvious for spin of elementary particles. There is undoubtedly the mechanical moment coupled with electric charge (or electric current) and the flip of the spin will mean the flip of mechanical moment. However, the uncoupled mechanical moment may be still present. Imagine the fast rotating dielectric ball with superconducting strip on equator. The current in such a superconducting strip will be responsible for the magnetic moment of the object (magnetic spin) and cooper pairs would be responsible for the mechanical moment associated with such a magnetic spin. However, the main mechanical moment may be as large as possible and may have different direction. Flip of the current will reveal in this situation only the coupled part of the mechanical moment while the main moment will stay unnoticed. Only gravitomagnetic field will reveal the total mechanical moment of the elementary particle (for macroscopic object, of course, much simpler experiment will work).
The hope of this idea is that such experiment may reveal another quantum number, second spin, which would mean that the Higgs boson is not real boson, but only partial boson (with respect to magnetic spin) and still may have the gravitational antiparticle, thus explaining the weakness of the gravitational force.
How to measure such a spin? At first it would be necessary to evaluate, whether it is possible to measure the usual spin of say electron using any modern day equipment. The only object generating strong enough gravitomagnetic field would be rotating Earth [2].
The easiest experiment to be done is gravitomagnetic Stern-Gerlach experiment: the spin will exert the force in the gradient of gravitomagnetic field. The gradient of the gravitomagnetic force would be (for Earth):

Bg=[G/(5*c*c)]*[M/r]*[2π/T]

dBg/dr=-[G/(5*c*c)]*[M/(r*r)]*[2π/T]
Here Bg is gravitomagnetic field of the rotation ball (Earth), G is gravitational constant, c is speed of light, r is the distance from the center of the Earth, M is the mass of the Earth (5.97*10exp(24) kg), T is the period of the rotation (1 day or 86400 seconds).
The known mechanical moment of the elementary particle would be spin of electron, which is S=h/(4*pi). Here h is Planks constant and pi is 3.14159.
For the electron traveling in the gravitomagnetic field gradient the force between the spin up and spin down particles would be F=2S*dBg/dr (electron will travel in space away from the Earth). Since the gradient is varying with the distance as 1/r^2 law, instead of integration of the force along the path for crude evaluation the distance r is taken to be 8 thousands kilometers (the experiment starts at 6.3 thousands kilometers and ends at 16.3 thousands kilometers). The force for the electron would be:

F=2S*dBg/dr=[h/(2π)]*[G/(5*c*c)]*[M/r*r]*[2π/T]
F=1*10exp(-55) Newton
For the electron traveling with velocity of 0.1 m/s, the distance is 10000 km (1*10exp(7) meters), the time of travel is 1*10exp(8) seconds (~3 years). Using mass of electron 9.1*10exp(-31) kg and simple formula L=a*t*t/2 the expected separation of the electrons due to ordinary spin at the end of travel would be 5.5*10exp(-10) m (5.5 Angstrom - measurable at modern technology).
More accurate double integration will give the similar result:
L=[1/v*v]*[h/(2*π)]*[G/(5*c*c)]*[M/m]*[2π/T]*ln(R1/Ro)
Here v is the velocity of the electron, m is the mass of electron, Ro and R1 are distance from the center of the Earth at the start and at the finish, correspondingly. L is 6.9 Angstrom.
The largest problem is here: the electron is subject to the magnetic field of the Earth and will travel in a circle around the Earth magnetic field line. The only way to compensate such rotation is to put the  compensating electric field in the opposite direction during the whole travel of the electron from start to finish. Despite the keeping the whole satellite all the time around the traveling pulse of electrons is an expensive task, it may be done provided the electrons are moving very slow. The electrons and the satellites may, of course rotate around the Earth in the equatorial plane (otherwise such satellite would not work), slowly moving away from the Earth as the bunch of electrons travels away at a speed of 10 cm/s and the separation due to the gravitomagnetic field gradient accumulates.
Another problem would be the presence of the magnetic field gradient (so the classical Stern-Gerlach experiment would be performed in Earth magnetic field gradient). It is possible to carry the compensating magnetic field gradient on the same satellite as well. Actually while the full compensation of the classical Stern-Gerlach splitting would not be possible, the idea here to see the additional splittings in the final picture. The presence of such splittings would mean the presence of one more quantum number - second spin for elementary particles.
Second spin will allow to hypothesize the presence of heavy particle-gravitational antiparticle virtual pairs in the quantum vacuum (like Higgs - antigravitational Higgs pairs proposed in [1]) and explain the gravitational constant in a way similar to the electrostatic one.

Use of modern centrifuges for discovery of gravitational phenomena on quantum level

Modern centrifuges are improved a lot from the last time their record values were published. Magazine "Popular mechanics) back in 1950 (70 years ago) was already mentioning centrifuges with 166000 rotations per second [1]. Assuming the scientific progress continued today they are even faster. Since from equivalence principle of Einstein the accelerated motion of the object (including atom or molecule) is the same as the motion in gravitational field, such ultracentrifuge may be helpful in discovering and verifications of the new quantum phenomena connected with the gravity.
Most theories talking about the gravity on atomic level are mentioning the vicinity of black hole or neutron star, but modern centrifuges may offer the same accelerations on Earth. For example, even biological centrifuges may easily reach 1 millions g (which is enough for separation of any proteins), but they are not intended for physical experiments and probably the specially made centrifuge may go much further.
There are several possible phenomena relevant for such gravitational force.
1.Deviation of slow light.
The hypothesis that the slow light deviates much stronger inside the stars and may thus generate the gravity force in addition to the usual gravity of baryonic matter is expressed in [2]. However, the deviation of the light in the usual gravity is too weak to be measured directly for light in refracting matter (in the vacuum it was measured during Einstein times and is the confirmation of general theory of relativity). Using the same approach as in [2], for the deviation of light in any weak (compare to the inside of the black hole) it is twice as strong as Newton deviation. For example, for the deviation of the light which travels with the velocity of 0.7c (for example, inside the glass) the formula would be as follows.
For the distance of L=1 meter (reasonably long centrifuge) the time of travel would be:
 t=L/(0.7*c)
here t is the time of travel, c is speed of light in vacuum.
Deviation in the perpendicular direction (assuming the light is traveling almost along the axis of the rotation, in uniform gravitational field):
S=a*t*t (this would be twice the Newtonian value of a*t*t/2)
The angle would be:
a=S/L=a*L/(0.49*c*c)=2.3*10exp(-10)
for a equal to 1 million g. The shift for light S is only 2.3 A - too small to be measured easily.
For easy to notice deviation of say 1 mm the velocity of light should be 100000 m/c (or 0.00033*c).
Today the experiments exists for light as slow as 90 m/c [3], so the experiment of observation of slow light will not even need the record centrifuge.
2.Ionization induced by the gravitational field.
In strong enough electric field the tunneling of the electron out of the molecule happened. This called field ionization and usually needs rather high electric field. The observation of the phenomena close to field ionization using the gravitational field may be only possible for the molecules or atoms which are already close to being ionized - excited atoms or molecules, where the electron is in Rydberg state for atoms in vacuum or in Rydberg like state in semiconductors.
Rydberg atoms are capable of detection of the microwaves with frequencies in MHz range already [4](pre-excited by laser atom enters the Rydberg state and gets the final energy from RF quanta). For 100 MHz the energy of quanta is only 4.1*10exp(-7) eV
The idea is that such Rydberg atom being placed in a strong gravitational field (say 10 millions g) will create the potential bending for electron shallow enough to observe the tunneling of electron out of such an atom.
The largest problem to obtain even more excited states Rydberg states is temperature (electron should be on the Rydberg level at least around kT from ionization barrier. For record temperatures achieved on the level of 50 nK that means that the lowest energy detection possible for Rydberg atom hold at this temperature is kT, 6.9*10exp(-31) Joule or 4.3*10exp(-12) eV (assumed it is hold near the thermal bath big enough to absorb the heat created at laser excitation to the Rydberg level)
For the gravitational field of 10 millions g the energy of E=6.9*10exp(-31) J is reached at the distance of:
L=E/F=E/(m*10exp(7)*g)=7.7*10exp(-9) m
So electron should tunnel only 7 nm under barrier to reach the space where it may escape Rydberg atom. This value is a reasonable distance for tunneling of electron (up to 100 Angstroms).
Therefore, such experiment is already at the reach of the modern physics.
The largest problem of the observation of such phenomenon would be the ionization of the material induced by stress (mechanochemistry). Indeed, the gravitational field of 10 millions g is smashing any material very perceptibly. As the huge stress is build inside, the electrons will be emitted merely because near the defects they will be excited enough to leave the material even without help of gravitational pull on the electron itself [6]
Careful choice of materials, long waiting time (conditioning) and modulation of laser beam creating the Rydberg atoms may allow to overcome this problem

Gravitational Stark effect for Ridberg atom in centrifuge

The possible way for direct observation of the quantum gravitational effects on Earth would be use of principle of equivalence and use of fast rotating centrifuges already available to create the equivalent of strong enough gravitational field.
Back in 1950 Popular mechanics magazine mentioned two commercially available record-setting centrifuges: The Sharples Corporation of Philadelphia manufactured centrifuge with 1.2 millions rotations per minute and Dr Jesse Wakefield Beams, University of Virginia reported about 166000 rotations per second.
The easiest way to observe gravitational Stark effect is to rely upon the gravitational field gradient instead of the gravitational field itself (because due to the equivalence principle both electron and nucleus will be attracted with the same force). The field gradient, however, will create the energy difference for the atom to be observed as line shift. The gradient of the gravitational field in the centrifuge is:
F=m*w*w*r
dF/dr=m*w*w
Here r is the distance from the center of the rotation, m is the mass of the object, w is the rotational angular frequency.
From the simple formula for energy in the gradient of the gravitational field:

ΔE=ΔF*ao
Here ΔE is the energy difference due to the different gravity for the electron as it rotates around the nucleus - gravitational force is different throughout the atom, ao is the radius of the atom (the radius of Bohr orbit)

ΔF=(dF/dr)*ao

and
ΔE=me*w2*ao2=me*(2*π*ν)2*ao2

here me is the mass of electron,  ν is the rotational frequency expressed in Hz , ao is the radius of the Ridberg atom (around 1 micrometer possible now). Substituting 166000 Hz as the record rotational frequency we have:


ΔE=2*10exp(-30) Joule or 1.24*10exp(-11) eV or in frequency domain the splitting would be 3021 Hz.
Such splitting between lines is possible to record. Assuming the centrifuges improved in the last 70 years the overall experiment seems feasible.

Light trapped in stars enhanced gravity: more hints from triple stars and from star clusters

The idea of the additional strong attraction force due to the light trapped inside the stars [1] should reveal itself in numerous phenomena in addition to dark matter possible explanation. The easiest way to check the hypothesis of non-Keplerian behavior of stars is to repeat Tycho Brahe work for the Milky way center: the accurate mapping of stars orbits is already on its way by Hawaii telescope and will be probably completed in 20-50 years. In addition some hints about such possibility may come from the observations of the discrepancies in stellar dynamics as computed using third Kepler law. One of the hints comes from binaries: the mass-luminosity relation seems to be wrong, actual masses of the bright stars due to the additional gravity-like force from photons should be much higher [2]
Other discrepancies which include the presence of ultra-bright young stars (those stars hypothetically have especially high amounts of trapped light inside and thus are especially strongly underweighted by usual methods). I refer to the so-called super-virial young star clusters. It is  a well established observational fact that the mass evaluation of star cluster from total luminosity and from virial theorem gives for young star clusters (full of young bright stars) the difference in 10 times. From virial theorem mass for young cluster is 10 times more compare to mass from luminosity (for old clusters, which have only old stars the masses are exactly the same) [3]. While those facts may be explained using some assumptions like binaries higher content, the explanation based on the underestimation of the effective "mass" of bright and ultra-bright stars using mass-luminosity ratio will be simpler and consistent with other facts. Indeed the young cluster is full of young short-lived stars where the amount of light trapped inside is especially high (thus making them especially "heavy"). Using the modern mass-luminosity the smaller mass is obtained. At the same time the virial distribution is created by the real forces, which are much stronger for bright stars and thus correspond to much higher spread of velocities (velocity dispersion). 10 times difference is a huge discrepancy and should be taken into the consideration. At the same time the old cluster have no or little amount of young stars (they all gone), only weak stars are left with much smaller amount of trapped light thus making such cluster closer to non-luminous objects (pure baryonic matter like planets) with more correct evaluation of mass using mass-luminosity relation.
The other hint for the problem with Keplerian mass determination comes from triple stars. Algol triple system is a close one and well investigated [4]. The problem with the mass and luminosity of Algol Aa2 star, which is close to bright main star Aa1. Because the stars may be resolved completely, the masses of them all were determined using the Kepler law and relative velocities measurements [5]. The absolute luminosity is also easy to measure. Spectral type of all three stars is confirmed after resolution of internal binary. The results gives for Aa2 star the spectral type of K0IV (whish should have luminosity of 10-42% of solar and mass below solar mass) the mass of 0.7 of solar and luminosity of 7 Suns, what is way too much for such type of the star.
However, since this star is a binary with especially bright star Aa1 (182 Suns) the additional gravitation-like force should be especially high. It means that the real masses of all three stars are much higher. For the internal pair Aa1 and Aa2 the real sum of mass is more underestimated than for the second pair (Aa1+Aa2 and Ab), because for the second pair the luminosity-related "gravity" is diluted by the presence of weak star Aa2 (the sum of bright and dim star will looks like more baryonic component). Then the masses of Aa1 and Aa2 will grow higher (say 2 times higher) compare to mass of Ab star (say 1,5 times larger), which will bring mass of Aa2 to the normal level comparable with luminosity while shifting the Ab star toward the more correct position on the mass-luminosity curve, but not throwing it off.
Modern explanation of the Algol star Aa2 as being stripped of matter due to direct mass transfer to Aa1 (too close pair) will not allow easy explanation why it is so luminous (the measurements are especially easy because all three stars may be considered as being at the same distance from Earth with high enough accuracy), and the relative measurements of luminosity should not be a problem.
Taken together, those discrepancies (mass-luminosity curve from binaries [2], supervirial young clusters and triple stars like Algol) are additional hints toward the inconsistency of present understanding of stars mass origin and to the absence of dark matter.

Quantum vacuum application to gravity: the Higgs boson antigravitational particle predicted

Recent discovery of Higgs boson which has a relation to gravity but should be the boson particle with respect to the statistic poses some problems with gravitational constant origin and strength. Since boson is the antiparticle to itself, it may be created from the vacuum without any pair and since it may condense into the lowest state, the increased fluctuations of quantum vacuum near any particle will grow the final mass to infinity.
Fluctuations of quantum vacuum long ago were used to explain the origin of speed of light [1]. For the attenuation of the electric field near the charge the use of virtual dipoles from vacuum is relatively straightforward: the particle-antiparticle pair composed of fermions, which can not occupy the same state and thus can not accumulate near the charge up to infinite amounts, completely eliminating the electric field. Unfortunately, application of the same idea to the gravity fails simply because any particle has a mass and they all attract to the initial mass. While the usual particles like protons, neutrons, electrons etc will be attracted to the particle but being fermions can not accumulate infinitely, the Higgs boson can. It means that the virtual Higgs bosons will be clumping to any mass to infinity, creating infinitely heavy condensate, thus making the gravity impossible.
The plausible explanation is given in [2]: similar to the particle-antiparticle dualism, there are virtual gravitational dipoles formed by pairs matter- antigravitational matter (the mass being considered as independent quantum number, the whole set of antigravity particles should exist for both particles and antiparticles, effectively doubling the number of existing particles).
Those gravitational dipoles are formed by the particles, which may be bosons with respect to usual matter-antimatter relations but not with respect to gravity. Similar to the creation of the electron-positron pair in the intense electric field, those virtual dipoles will create pair particle - gravitational antiparticle in strong enough gravitational field (inside the dark hole, according to [2]).
Fortunately, antiparticles are formed not only in electric field, but also in any interactions of highly accelerated particles (that is how antiprotons are manufactured and separated by the electric and magnetic field). In a similar way the antigravitational particles should be formed (and may be already produced from time to time, but since the gravity is so much weaker compare to electric force, the usual separation methods in accelerators will render them unnoticed).
Using the formula derived for electric permittivity of vacuum from [1] it is even possible to estimate the mass of one component of such virtual dipole
εo=[(Kw2-1)3/2/Kw]*2e2/(3π*h*c)
here εo - is the vacuum permittivity, e is the charge of electron, h is Planks constant, c is speed of light and Kw - is the coefficient received after the summation of all the possible fermion pairs in the vacuum near the charge.  
The gravitational constant being considered similar to Coulomb constant for vacuum permittivity:
 
k=1/(4*π*εo ), that is εo =1/(4π*k), where k=9*10exp(9) is Coulomb constant,
The equation would be (mass is instead of charge and gravitational constant instead of Coulomb constant):
1/(4π*G)=[(Kw2-1)3/2/Kw]*2m2/(3π*h*c)
where G is gravitational constant and m is the mass of the particle- gravitational antiparticle pair.
Using value of 32 for Kw- the constant calculated in [1] the value of mass is 1.84*10exp(-9) kg or 166 GeV
Assuming the evaluations are very approximate, the only close in energy particle is Higgs boson (125 GeV).
Thus it is possible to predict that during the Higgs boson production at CERN, from time to time the antigravitational Higgs boson will be generated (like in the case with antiparticles, it will have the same mass, but of the opposite sign). It may be easily distinguished because the decay path of it will include antigravitational particles instead of normal particles and antiparticles, which would move differently at decay. The Higgs boson and antigravitational Higgs boson will be born in pairs, of course, so the total energy would be 250 GeV, but this is still well below the possible energy of BAC, which is 14 TeV.
Being discovered, such antigravitational particle would allow to justify the quantum vacuum virtual particles approach to the gravitational constant value calculations (combining approaches of [1] and [2])  thus effectively unifying electricity and gravity on the basis of quantum vacuum properties.

Light matter attraction as a driving force for Galaxy rotation - the energy transformed from thermonuclear to mechanical

The dark matter modern approach to the explanation of galaxies rotation has one drawback - it is still considers stars as equivalent to rocks (planets). In reality stars have one distinct difference from planets (for planets the third Kepler Law explains all the motion perfectly)  - they are generating energy by themselves. If only a small fraction of that energy is transformed through any mechanism into the mechanical energy, that may easily explain any rotation curve of the galaxy without any new hypothesis about predominant non-observable matter. Let's consider the bright star with luminocity of 1260 Sun and total inertial mass of 5.4 Sun (Polaris star). The total energy release would be 5*10exp(+29) J/s and mass would be 1.1*10exp(31) kg. If only 1% of the energy released is somehow transformed into the mechanical energy, the star may reach the rotational speed of 230000 m/s (Sun surrounding) for only 1.8 million of years (estimation done from 1/2*mV^2 formula). This is smaller than life time of the star of such initial mass (10 millions of years).
Thus the difference between the star and planet is essentially inside the star. The idea of the strongly gravitating slow light [1,2], may not only explain the too fast rotation of the stars in the galaxy (the effective gravitational mass is higher compare to the inertial mass) but also the overall dynamic of the stars in the galaxy (origin of spiral arms) and  the difference between the elliptical and spiral galaxy (why the elliptical galaxy stopped rotating).
According to the hypothesis of [1], the stars has a lot of trapped photons inside. Not only the gamma quanta from the nuclear reaction but softer light like X-ray and visible light due to bremsstrahlung scattering of electron and ions inside the fully ionized plasma inside the star. Those photons are inside the environment with enormous value of effective refraction coefficient (inside the fully conductive media) and thus are moving really slow and gravitating very strongly (similar idea is expressed in [3]). The gravity-like behavior of slow photons is demonstrated in [4] experimentally (polaritons are exactly what is expected for photons inside the stars).
The photons inside the stars are gravitating according to general relativity, of course, they are not creating the mutually reciprocal force like the baryonic matter. The slow photons are attracted to the galaxy center (and much strongly if calculated per energy compare to baryonic matter) but not creating the additional distortion of time-space themselves (except for the equivalent inertial mass they have in vacuum, from E=m*c^2). Thus they create the additional force to the bright stars, which forces them toward the center of gravity (center of galaxy). This force moves the star to the new position and according to the momentum conservation law the star is accelerating (new equilibrium position closer to the center of rotation needs higher velocity). This mechanism effectively transforms the energy of the thermonuclear fusion into the mechanical energy necessary for the accelerated rotation. Thus the energy of the nuclear fusion is transformed into the rotation energy of the whole galaxy (the effect is smaller for light stars like Sun, but stars are created and dying continuously). In this situation the rotation of the galaxy is more like dynamo phenomena than static rotation of planets around the star.
That additional force might be expressed in the following formula:
F=K*E*M/(R*R)
The force is concentrated in the star, so for the outside space it will be the central force. The 1/(R*R) law follows from the attraction formula for light and from geometry of space-time (should be similar to Newtonian law in the weak gravitational limit). The force is proportional to the inertial mass of the object which attracts the star (or to the curvature created by the inertial mass in the weak gravitation limit of general relativity), since light is "attracted" due to the curvature of space-time (similar to the deviation of light near the star). But the force does not proportional to the inertial mass of the star which attracts, but rather to the total energy of trapped light inside E (and the coefficient K depends upon the type of star, upon the effective refraction coefficient inside, which makes the whole force non-universal). When the E of trapped light is zero the force is zero only the usual gravitation exist,
For the evaluation it is possible to assume that the value of F will depend upon the luminosity I of the star (it is an idea that the amount of light still trapped inside the star should correlate with the light emitted by star every second).
F=K*I*M/(R*R)
For evaluations it is possible to assume that the force from light matter should be at least equal to the gravitational force:
K*I*M/(R*R)~G*m*M/(R*R)
and then for the stars like Sun K=3.3*10exp(-7) m*s/kg
for bright stars like Polaris K=1.46*10exp(-9) m*s/kg
and taking the average (geometric one):
K~2*10exp(-8) m*s/kg
With this force the origin of spiral arms would be the higher velocity of bright stars compare to the rest of stars: the bright stars are short lived, but they are the main driving force for the rotation of galaxy - the additional force accelerates them very much like the rotation of the skater is accelerates when he or she pulls the leg in. This acceleration of rotation transfers to the rest of stars and the galaxy starts to rotate.
The gravitational force only is seemingly not enough to sustain the rotation: the elliptical galaxies are contracting radially, not rotating. Only young galaxies, full of new stars have enough energy to start rotation and hold it at the almost constant for all galaxies speed (the energy originates from the drain of stars in the black hole, very much like the rotation of water in the tub originates from the energy of the drained water). The comparison is not really quite well because the friction is much smaller, but it was found that the vortex in bathtub also need some threshold discharge rate [5] - if the discharge is too small, water drains pure radially.
It puts the elliptical galaxies as the final evolution stage of galaxy: it starts from protogalaxy, starts to rotate around the central black hole (spiral galaxy), slowly uses all of the necessary molecular clouds - no bright stars any more - and turns into the elliptical galaxy with huge black hole and aging low luminosity stars.

Accelerated rotation of stars in the galaxy

Accelerated rotation of the star because of the difference between the effective gravitational mass and real inertial mass.
For baryonic matter the gravitational mass is equal for the inertial mass (Einstein's postulate). For light the inertial mass is still zero but the effective gravitational mass may be assumed (the light deviates near the star). If the enormous amount of light is trapped inside the star, the overall effective gravitational mass of the star Mg may be larger than the effective inertial mass Mi. How it will influence the rotation of the star around the galaxy center?
From Newton mechanics:

mi*v2/R=G*mg*M/R2  and v=[(G*M/R)*(mg/mi)]1/2

where G is gravitational constant, M is effective mass of the galaxy (for simplicity), v is the linear velocity of the star around center of galaxy, mg is the effective gravitational mass of the star,  mi is the inertial mass of the star, R is the radius of rotation. If due to the trapped light the effective gravitational mass is much larger compare to inertial mass, so the velocity of the rotation. In this case the dark matter is not necessary for the accelerated rotation of the stars in the galaxy
