A Flux of Micro Quanta Explains Relativistic Mechanics and the Gravitational Interaction
In the proposed paradigm the space is filled with a very high flux φ o of very small quanta whose wavelength λ o results equal to the Planck's length. Since their energy E o = h o ν o is very small, the relevant quantum constant h o is enormously smaller than the usual Planck's constant. Any particle shows a little Compton's cross section σ i =A o m i proportional to its mass, so these quanta freely travel in space along large distances (cosmic quanta). Colliding with matter the quanta impose the principles of conservation of energy and momentum, as well as the laws of relativistic mechanics and related inertial forces. The strong equivalence principle, in the version stating that both inertia and gravitation come from a single phenomenon, becomes the relevant test to verify the physical reality of the cosmic quanta i.e. their capacity to explain the gravitational interaction. The quanta colliding with two masses give up a little momentum (E o-E 1)/c which produces a newtonian force pushing the masses each towards the other. The quantity G = K o φ o E o A o 2 /4πc depends on the quanta characteristics, so the Newton's gravitational mass no longer holds. However the most interesting feature is that the new gravitational force depends also on the quantum energy. For instance a mass facing a very dense star, where the quanta undergo n collisions, receives weakened quanta of energy E n <E 1 <E o which give the mass the momentum (E o-E n)/c >> (E o-E 1)/c. This fact increases the newtonian G by the gravity factor (n/a) ≥ 1 depending on the star mass and density. For instance the gravity factor reaches numbers of 200÷300 in the case of neutron stars, incrementing notably their accretion capacity. This property may explain, in particular, the mystery of the obscure galactic supermassive bodies whose gravitational effects have been observed to rise up to 3.7x10 6 times the Sun effects. Current gravitational theories are unable to give a convincing explanation of this phenomenon.
