Alena Tensor—a brand new hope for unification in physics

The seek for quantum gravity has gone on for 100 years, however it’s not the one unification problem in physics. Many of us imagine that someday there can be a unification principle—a principle that can reconcile many divergent bodily theories.

Our new article revealed in Physica Scripta brings new hope that such a principle exists. It demonstrates that using a sure mathematical object referred to as Alena Tensor reconciles numerous bodily theories, together with basic relativity, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics and continuum mechanics. Will this lastly permit scientists to unify descriptions utilized in physics?

What is Alena Tensor?

Any motion underneath the affect of forces could be mathematically represented as motion alongside a curved path. Using differential geometry, one could equally effectively assume that the trajectory was straight, whereas the house during which the transfer befell is curved. It could sound difficult, however it may be assumed that there’s a mathematical transformation that permits us to explain curved space-time equivalently as flat space-time the place sure forces act.

It has lengthy been suspected that such a metamorphosis exists, though opinions on this matter are divided. Some physicists imagine that the metric tensor, a mathematical object describing the curvature of space-time, is just a characteristic of space-time. Some physicists, most frequently mathematical physicists, are of the opinion that such a metamorphosis ought to exist.

Alena Tensor gives simply such a metamorphosis. In quick, Alena Tensor can straighten curved space-time whereas preserving all conclusions from basic relativity. This property alone makes Alena Tensor a particularly beneficial software, however that is only the start.

Alena Tensor in flat and curved space-time

We used Alena Tensor to explain a system with an electromagnetic discipline, acquiring three forces in flat space-time: electromagnetism (which isn’t shocking), “towards gravity,” and radiation response drive.

The radiation response drive is already recognized in physics. It safeguards the precept of conservation of vitality and ensures that the vitality of an accelerating physique doesn’t exceed the vitality obtainable within the bodily system.

The “towards gravity” drive generalizes classical Newton’s equation for gravity, offering a relativistic description of gravity in flat space-time, absolutely in step with basic relativity:

• It faithfully reproduces the movement described in curved space-time.
• This drive doesn’t act in freefall, respecting the equivalence precept.
• Gravity on this description is just not a drive however the counteraction to gravity is.

The Alena Tensor permits for a clean transition to the outline used within the electromagnetic principle after which it seems that:

• Charged particles can’t stay at full relaxation and may have spin, which agrees with quantum mechanics.
• The purpose for the existence of mass (and vitality) of charged particles is the magnetic second.

The above consequence principally explains what matter is, though to this point it solely applies to charged elementary particles and requires generalization to different fields.

The Alena Tensor additionally permits a clean transition to the equations of basic relativity. The obtained outcomes present some solutions to the questions which have lengthy puzzled physicists, regarding, e.g., singularities of black holes, cosmological fixed, darkish vitality and darkish matter.

Do we lastly have quantum gravity?

Most mainstream efforts within the seek for quantum gravity to this point have targeted on making an attempt to translate the legal guidelines of quantum mechanics to curved space-time. Alena Tensor utterly reverses this strategy. It is way simpler now to explain gravity in flat space-time in a means that mathematically reproduces basic relativity after which makes use of the recognized instruments of quantum mechanics.

Therefore, within the article we derived quantum equations describing all the bodily system with all beforehand talked about forces. It seems that these are three at the moment recognized foremost quantum equations. This results in the utterly shocking conclusion: It would imply that gravity has been current in quantum mechanics from the very starting. It have to be admitted that in all probability nobody anticipated such an answer to the puzzle. In the article we additionally clarify why it was so exhausting to identify gravity in quantum equations.

What occurs subsequent?

There are attention-grabbing occasions forward, however nobody ought to anticipate an instantaneous revolution. Science doesn’t develop on the tempo of messages on social networks. It will take a number of months for this analysis paper to get observed, a number of months earlier than researchers take an curiosity in it, learn it and use its outcomes. It additionally takes many months to conduct and describe analysis utilizing the brand new mathematical equipment, then undergo the peer overview course of and publish it.

In the primary articles, we must always anticipate makes an attempt to falsify Alena Tensor, as a result of in physics, like in all science, we have to ensure that our subsequent steps lead in the appropriate route. If falsification deceives and additional analysis and experiments verify the outcomes obtained from Alena Tensor, we could hope that within the subsequent three to 10 years, this may result in the unification and reconciliation of many descriptions at the moment utilized in physics.

It can also be totally attainable that the article will go unnoticed or nobody will pursue additional analysis, as has occurred many occasions earlier than with improvements in science. Contrary to widespread perception, for many readers, the innovation of the article is a drawback—it’s more durable to learn, perceive and settle for. The difficulties in the course of the lengthy publication course of additionally point out that many scientific journals see an excessive amount of threat in publishing revolutionary analysis, particularly if its authors should not broadly recognized scientists.

Fortunately, this text was ultimately revealed by a extremely revered and inclusive journal that assesses the scientific worth increased than non-meritorious standards, for which I wish to publicly categorical my highest respect. The editor and reviewers supplied constructive criticism, and their substantive feedback helped to considerably enhance the article, precisely the way in which science ought to operate. However, plainly analysis on non-mainstream strategies of unifying physics (and Alena Tensor is one) could require way more time and perseverance.

The hope stays that future generations of physicists will full the event of this methodology regardless of the obstacles, and in 20 to 40 years, Alena Tensor will encourage the scientific neighborhood to unify physics.
