Abstract： It is suggested that the formation of dark matter binaries would produce radiation in the same way that the formation of hydrogen atoms does in HII regions. A hydrogen HII region like the Orion Nebula with its Lyman alpha radiation is considered as a model for dark matter particles combining into binaries. This conjecture is considered in detail and it is found to provide a surprising fit to the Planck data isotropy and dipole. It could be regarded as an alternative explanation. A precise mass for the dark matter particle would be 10.7 ZeV (1.07 x 1013 GeV). Examination of the Plank structure of the CMB also suggests there is further physics to be revealed. Observational tests are suggested to check the role of dark matter in the Galaxy Halo.

Abstract： There is a clear indication that dark matter in the Milky Way absorbs a tiny amount of light in the visible parts of the spectrum, (Baruch 2025a, and 2025b) . In Baruch (2025c) it is conjectured that this is caused by dark matter forming binary pairs which are destroyed (ionised) by the momentum of photons in the visible parts of the spectrum. This paper examines whether the dark matter binaries will also radiate photons. Can a binary form of dark matter with two spin half fermions produce spin flip radiation in the same way that hydrogen does with the 21cm line? It is shown that any such spin flip radiation would be very faint due to the excessively long half life of the suggested binary form of dark matter.

Abstract： The paper Baruch (2025a) shows that there is an apparent wavelength-independent extinction coefficient of 0.06 magnitudes per kiloparsec across the Milky Way. Baruch 2025b) shows that the Hubble constant values of Riess et al (2016, 2018a and 2018b), Freedman et al (2019) and the Planck satellite (Ade et al 2014) coincide if the extinction coefficient is a function of the density of dark matter. This wavelength-independent extinction has a frequency threshold between 160Ghz and 300 Thz. This paper seeks a possible process by which dark matter can absorb light.
The current data on dark matter is reviewed to determine how dark matter could act as a wavelength-independent absorber of light in the visible frequencies. The discussion of the role of inertia and momentum in general relativity and its relationship with the other forces since the Einstein paper on General Relativity of 1915 is reviewed. It is conjectured that for a pair of gravitationally bound dark matter particles a photon with sufficient momentum would effectively “ionise” the pair, releasing the two dark matter particles, and absorbing the photon. The approximate mass of the dark matter particle is derived. It is suggested that this dark matter extinction provides real data to help settle the role of inertia and momentum in General Relativity. A test for the “ionisation” process is suggested.
