This paper describes the perceived spin (rotational) rate deduced from spectral redshift differences obtained with long-slit spectroscopy of a hypothetical spiral galaxy with a normal spin rate and a high (relativistic) peculiar velocity as seen from the Milky Way rest frame. With a sufficiently high relativistic peculiar velocity the perceived galaxy spin rate or galaxy rotation curve will correspond with the observed galaxy spin rates and flat rotation curves that led to the ‘Galaxy Rotation Problem’; the discrepancy between observed galaxy rotation curves and the theoretical prediction from the law of gravity, which led to the inference of Dark Matter. This difference between actual and perceived spin rate / rotational curve can then be explained by the fact that at relativistic velocities a small difference in velocity between two objects or areas lead to an exaggerated difference in spectral redshift across the major axis of a galaxy. Assuming a relativistic peculiar velocity thus provides a (partial) solution to the galaxy rotation problem, observed flat rotation curves and the missing mass problem which all have lead to the hypothesized existence of Dark Matter, among other proposed solutions. The perceived high spin rate is then caused by a normal spin rate measured as large redshift differences due to the relativistic velocity of the whole galaxy. Assuming a relativistic peculiar velocity also provides a (partial) solution for the perceived accelerating expansion of the universe as measured by the lower than expected luminosity of supernovae which lead to the hypothesized existence of Dark Energy. The actual lower luminosity of supernovae is then caused by a significant additional distance covered due to a high peculiar motion over billions of years, adding to the distance increase by space-time expansion.
