Nuclear Decay Rate Oscillations and a Gravity-Quantum Connection

R. T. Longo

Published Apr 11, 2022• 1 citation
Publisher

Abstract

This paper constructs a model to evaluate the hypothesis that the incompatibility between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics is due to the different space-time geometries upon which each respective theory was built. An abstract field is envisioned as a way to transform coordinate variables of Euclidian geometry to coordinate variables in Riemann geometry, thereby linking Quantum Mecha- nics to General Relativity. The model is applied to an unexplained yearly rhythmic phenomenon of the nuclear decay count rate that is thought to be due to unknown emissions from the Sun. This work suggests the effect is due to gravitation, if so the planets must contribute. The Sun’s massive influence is eliminated by studying the yearly count rate variation when the Sun is at its perihelion. The measurements used in this study is a 15-year measurement of the nuclear decay of 226Ra.

Nuclear decay oscillations, quantum-mechanical nonlinearity and emergent gravity

Sergey Nikolaevich Mayburov

Several experimental groups reported the evidence of multiple periodic modulations of nuclear decay constants which amplitudes are of the order 0.05% and have periods of one year, 24 hours or about one month. We argue that these deviations from radioactive decay law can be explained as the effect of small nonlinear corrections to standard quantum mechanics, in particular, to Hamiltonian of quantum system interaction with gravitational field. It's shown that modified Doebner-Goldin nonlinear model predicts the similar decay parameter variations under influence of Sun gravity.

Nucleus Decay Oscilllations, Quantum Nonlinearity and Emergent Gravity

Sergey Nikolaevich Mayburov

Abstract Several experimental groups observed periodic modulations of nucleus decay constants which amplitudes are of the order 10−3 and periods of one year, 24 hours or about one month. We argue that such deviations from radioactive decay law can be described in nonlinear quantum mechanics framework, in which decay process obeys to nonlinear Shroedinger equation with Doebner-Goldin terms. Corrections to Hamiltonian of quantum system interaction with gravitation field considered, it’s shown that they correspond to some emergent gravity models, in particular, bilocal gravity theory. It’s shown that modified proposed model predicts decay parameter variations under influence of Sun gravity similar to experimental results for 214Po α-decay life-time oscillations.

Nuclear Decay Oscillations and Nonlinear Quantum Dynamics

Sergey Nikolaevich Mayburov

Abstract Several experimental groups reported the evidence of periodic modulations of nuclear decay constants which amplitudes are of the order $${{10}^{{ - 3}}}$$ and periods of one year, 24 h or about one month. We argue that such deviations from radioactive decay law can be described in nonlinear quantum mechanics framework, in which decay process obeys to nonlinear Shrödinger equation with Doebner–Goldin terms. Possible corrections to Hamiltonian of quantum system interaction with gravitation field considered, it’s shown that they correspond to some emergent gravity theories, in particular, bilocal field model. It’s shown that proposed model describes decay parameter variations which agree with experimental results for Po-214 $$\alpha $$ -decay life-time oscillations.

A metageometric enquiry concerning time, space, and quantum physics

Diego Meschini

An enquiry into the physical nature of time and space and into the ontology of quantum mechanics from a metageometric perspective, resulting from the belief that geometric thought and language are powerless to farther understanding of these issues, restricting instead physical progress. The nature and assumptions of quantum gravity are analysed critically, including misgivings about the relevance of the Planck scale to it and its lack of observational referent in the natural world. The anthropic foundations of geometry are investigated. The exclusive use of geometric thought from antiquity to present-day physics is found to permeate all new attempts towards better theories, including quantum gravity and, within it, even pregeometry. The problem of the ether is found to have perpetuated itself up to the present by transmuting its form from mechanical, through metric, to geometric. A clarification is made of the physical, mathematical, and psychological foundations of relativity and quantum theories. The former is founded geometrically on measurement-based clock-reading separations ds. The latter is founded metageometrically on the experiment-based concepts of premeasurement and transition things, inspired in the physically unexplored aspect of time as a consciousness-related product. A concept of metageometric time is developed and coordinate time t is recovered from it. Discovery of the connection between quantum-mechanical metageometric time elements and general-relativistic clock time elements ds is deemed necessary for a combined understanding of time. Time is conjectured to be the missing link between general relativity and quantum mechanics.

Quantum Nonlocality - Possible Cosmophysical Effects

Sergey Nikolaevich Mayburov

Abstract Mutiple experimental results indicate the existence of cosmophysical effects which influence parameters of nuclear decays and chemical reactions in lab. conditions. In particular, variations of nucleus decay parameters are detected which amplitudes are of the order 10−3 and periods of one year, 24 hours or about one month. Similar influence of solar activity on nuclear decays and chemical reactions also was reported. We argue that such deviations from radioactive decay law and other similar effects can be described by novel quantum nonlocality mechanism, different from standard EPR-Bohm nonlocality. Modified Doebner-Goldin model applied for the description of dynamical nonlocal effects concerned with nuclear decays.

The Temporal Scale Invariance Hypothesis as a Bridge between Quantum Mechanics and Gravitation

Alexey Gromov

Abstract A hypothesis is proposed according to which the sole difference between the quantum and classical worlds is the time scale. A quantitative verification of the model has been carried out on systems ranging from atomic to macroscopic scales. The concept of a temporal wake is introduced — a physical field generated by the motion of a particle in its ultrafast proper time. It is shown that this approach not only explains key quantum phenomena (interference, entanglement, tunneling) but also connects them with gravity. Based on the hypothesis, a phenomenological toy model is constructed, demonstrating quantitative agreement with experimental data. Three laws of scale invariance are formulated. A system of coupled field equations is proposed in which the coupling between particles is realized through an effective parameter αeff depending on the time scale, system symmetry, and density. It is found that αeff naturally describes a phase transition between atomic, nuclear, and classical regimes. Testable predictions are formulated, including an experiment on wake shielding (Prediction I) and the search for a phase transition at nuclear density (Prediction L).
