Best Answer

The forces acting on stars are gravitational and electromagnetic. Stars have charge and electromagnetic fields and charge generate forces, F=qE + qvxB. The so-called "dark (missing) matter in galaxies" is a manifestation of the electromagnetic forces on stars.

Roughly a star with mass m in the galaxy, is acted on by the galactic magnetic field B. This is similar to the mass spectrometer.

mv^2/r = qvB = qvuI/r = qvzI/cr

Thus v=qzI/mc the velocity of v is independent of the radius and depeds on the charge to mass ration, q/m.
