The Dark Matter Energy Theory is an independent research project developed by Derek Anderson Orr. It began as a simple question: why do we need invisible substances to explain the universe? Over time, that question grew into a geometric model that unifies dark matter, dark energy, neighbouring universes, and several puzzling observations from JWST.
Modern cosmology is remarkably successful, yet it still relies on components we cannot detect directly — dark matter, dark energy, and unexpectedly mature early galaxies. Instead of assuming new particles or unknown forces, this project explores whether these effects could emerge naturally from the geometry of the universe itself.
The idea that gravity, curvature, and membrane tension could explain these phenomena is not new, but combining them into a single, coherent framework is the purpose of this work.
The theory grew from a series of simple geometric sketches: curvature wells, membrane surfaces, and boundary regions between neighbouring universes. As these diagrams became more refined, a pattern emerged:
What began as a visual exploration gradually formed into a structured model with testable predictions.
Visual clarity is essential to this project. Every diagram on this site was created specifically to illustrate the geometry of the model — curvature basins, membrane tension, neighbouring universes, and boundary‑region effects.
These diagrams are not artistic extras; they are part of the reasoning process itself.
This project is not presented as a finished theory, but as a structured proposal. It aims to be:
The goal is not to replace established cosmology, but to explore whether a simpler geometric explanation might account for the same observations.
Derek Anderson Orr is based in Scotland and has long‑standing interests in physics, cosmology, mathematics, and scientific modelling. This project combines those interests with a visual, diagram‑driven approach to understanding complex systems.
Outside of cosmology, Derek is also active in genealogy research, running, writing, and scientific communication.
