SemertzidisAbstractThe manifestation of the dark Universe begun with unexpected large-scale astronomical observations. Here we are investigating the possible origin of small-scale anomalies, like that of the annually observed temperature anomalies in the stratosphere (38.5 – 47.5 km). Unexpectedly within known physics, we observe a planetary relationship of the daily stratospheric temperature distribution. Interestingly, its spectral shape does not match concurrent solar activity (F10.7 line), or Sun’s EUV emission, whose impact on the atmosphere is unequivocal; this different behaviour points at an additional energy source of exo-solar origin. A viable concept behind such observations is based on possible gravitational focusing by the Sun and its planets towards the Earth of low-speed invisible (streaming) matter. When the Sun-Earth direction aligns with an invisible stream, its influx towards the Earth gets temporally enhanced. We denote generic constituents from the dark Universe as “invisible matter”, in order to distinguish them from ordinary dark matter candidates like axions or WIMPs, which cannot have any noticeable impact. Moreover, the observed peaking planetary relations exclude on their own any conventional explanation, be it due to any remote planetary interaction, or, intrinsic to t...
