In a multi-fold universe, gravity emerges from Entanglement through the multi-fold mechanisms. As a result, gravity-like effects appear in between entangled particles that they be real or virtual. Long range, massless gravity results from entanglement of massless virtual particles. Entanglement of massive virtual particles leads to massive gravity contributions at very smalls scales. Multi-folds mechanisms also result into a spacetime that is discrete, with a random walk fractal structure and non-commutative geometry that is Lorentz invariant and where spacetime nodes and particles can be modeled with microscopic black holes. All these recover General relativity at large scales and semi-classical model remain valid till smaller scale than usually expected. Gravity can therefore be added to the Standard Model. This can contribute to resolving several open issues with the Standard Model (SM) without new Physics other than gravity. These considerations hints at a even stronger relationship between gravity and the Standard Model. The Nielsen Ninomiya theorem predicts incompatibility of the conventional Standard Model with 4D discrete, lattice spacetimes per the Nielsen Ninomiya theorem, because of the weak interaction and the neutrino chiral asymmetries in SM. A priori, it would be problematic for the viability of the multi-fold universe reconstruction if it were to represent the real universe, and support or recover the Standard Model, as in the Standard Model with gravity, that is not negligible at the Standard Model scales (SMG). It would also invalidate our lattice-based claims of proof of the Mass gap for Yang Mills theories. Even more problematic, quantum gravitational anomalies would obstruct entanglement: quantum entanglement would not be possible in a discrete 4D universe. It simply would destroy, as impossible and inconsistent, the multi-fold mechanisms and the multi-fold spacetime reconstruction. This paper discusses the consistency of multi-fold models with respect to these issues, as well as the implications for gravitational anomalies in multi-fold universes. The resolution relies on gravity induced flips of chiral fermions in multi-fold universes, that we already used to explain the neutrino mass and absence of proton decay observations. The resulting (spontaneous) chiral symmetry breaking handles consistency concerns with the weak interaction on lattices, and problems with Dirac fermion doubling in QCD. The gravitational anomaly cancellations, or smearing, also directly relate to the feasibility of simulations, e.g. Monte Carlo simulations of multi-fold universes, or even the possibility that the universe itself could be a simulation. Finally, the paper also derives non-invariance of the weak hypercharge under non-negligible gravity is also an important new result of SMG, a results that does not change anything to observable weak interaction physics.

Can String Theory with Supersymmetry and with Tachyons Explain MOND's Empirical Successes?

Authors: David Brown
Comments: 4 Pages.

Why have dark matter particles not been found? Do dark matter particles exist? Assume that all gravitons have spin 2 and supersymmetry is empirically valid. Can string theory with tachyons explain the empirical successes of Milgrom’s Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND)? An attempt is made to explain MOND using 6 tachyonic MONDons and 6 tachyonic MONDinos.

A Brief Note on the Asymmetry of Time

Authors: Carlton Frederick
Comments: 4 Pages.

Given a granular space-time where the grains can move freely in x, y, z, and also t. But there is a very small, symmetry-breaking increased probability of a grain moving forward versus moving backward in time. At this juncture then, there is no discernible arrow of time. In order that masses not be pulled apart by moving grains, we assume that grains clump together when the grains hold mass. The more mass there is, the more grains are in the clump. We show that as the clump grows larger, the more the probability increases of the clump moving forward in time as opposed to moving backward. So when the clump size grows to measurable dimensions, the arrow of time points consistently forward.

Granular Spacetime: The Nature of Time

Authors: Carlton Frederick
Comments: 11 Pages.

Granular space-time posits that everything can be expressed as a function of space-time and matter. And this includes the quantum wave function Ψ . To give a geometric interpretation of Ψ , we First need to examine time. The fact that the wave function is complex results in the time dimension also being complex with the imaginary component being rolled-up. The symmetry of time is deduced.

1 Planck Length, Planck Time and Speed of Gravity When Taking into Account Relativistic Mass with No Knowledge off G, h or c

Authors: Espen Gaarder Haug
Comments: 8 Pages.

In this paper, we take into account Lorentz’s relativistic mass and then derive formulas for the Planck length and the Planck time that are not dependent on any other constants. Thus we can find the Planck length, the Planck time, and also the speed of gravity, from gravitational observations without any knowledge of any physical constants. This is in strong contrast to what has been, and currently is, thought to be the case. Since we take into account relativistic mass, our formulas are also fully accurate for a strong gravitational field. We will claim general relativity theory cannot be fully precise in respect to strong gravitational fields. For example, general relativity theory leads to an imaginary time dilation factor when at the Planck length distance from a Planck mass, but when taking into account Lorentz’s relativistic mass, the time dilation works properly all the way down to, and including, the Planck length distance.

The Equivalence of Gravity and Gravitational Time Dilation

Authors: René Friedrich
Comments: 10 Pages. Essay written for the Gravity Research Foundation 2022 Awards for Essays on Gravitation

The unsuccessful attempts of quantization of spacetime are corroborating the belief that for the purposes of quantum gravity, the current notion of spacetime must be replaced with a different concept. However, the range of possible alternative approaches is currently restricted by the fact that gravity is considered to be inseparably associated with the concept of curved spacetime. In order to extend this range of possible alternative approaches, it is shown here on the basis of the Schwarzschild metric how gravity may not only be described by the means of curved spacetime but equivalently also in the form of gravitational time dilation in flat, uncurved space.

Approach to Enhance Quantum Gravity Effects by Ultimate Acceleration

Authors: Huaiyang Cui
Comments: 14 Pages.

In analogy to the ultimate speed c, assume that there is an ultimate acceleration β, nobody's acceleration can exceed this limit β. By fitting observational data, it is found that the solar system has an ultimate acceleration of β=2.961520e+10(m/s/s), no rocket's acceleration can exceed this limit β. Because this ultimate acceleration is a large number, any effect connecting to β will become easy to test, including quantum gravity test. The ultimate acceleration makes a strict restriction on planet-rotation, it establishes a quantum rule for gravity, it is reported in this paper that the Sun and first four planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are quantized very well in accordance with the limit β. In other words, the ultimate acceleration β can derive out a generalized matter wave which causes the planetary quantization. Using the generalized matter wave and its Planck-constant-like constant, the solar system, Jupiter's satellites, Saturn's satellites, Uranus' satellites, Neptune's satellites as five different many-body systems are investigated with the Bohr orbit model. The calculation results agree well with experimental observations for these planets and satellites. This paper also discusses the possibility of applying the generalized matter wave to the Moon's orbit, tropic cyclone and virus.
