Gravitational black-body radiation offers a remarkably compelling solution to the deep, long-standing questions concerning galaxy rotation curves and strong gravitational lensing by large astrophysical systems, without the need to impose a dark matter or massive graviton hypothesis. As with the quantized orbits of the electron in the atom and the classical physics of Maxwell¡¯s theory of electromagnetism, gravitational black-body radiation represents a truly profound break from the classical physics of Einstein¡¯s general theory of relativity and the emergence of the fundamental quantum nature of gravity. %K Black Body %K Graviton %K Milky Way %K Rotation Curve %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=117967
