Clifford Tetrads, Null Zig Zags, and Quantum Gravity

TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel approach to quantum gravity using complexified Clifford algebra covariance, linking quantum field theory and general relativity, and predicts new phenomena like axial jets in nuclear decay.

Contribution

It introduces a unified field/particle action incorporating new couplings and a framework based on Clifford algebra covariance to bridge quantum mechanics and gravity.

Findings

Quantum gravity modeled as statistical mechanics of null zig-zag spinor rays.

New couplings predict axial jets with left helicity in nuclear decay.

Framework unifies quantum field theory and general relativity through Clifford algebra.

Abstract

Quantum Gravity has been so elusive because we have tried to approach it by two paths which can never meet: standard quantum field theory and general relativity. The gateway is covariance under the complexified Clifford algebra of our space-time manifold M, and its spinor representations, which Sachs dubbed the Einstein group, E. On the microscopic scale, quantum gravity appears as the statistical mechanics of the null zig-zag rays of spinor fields in imaginary time T. Our unified field/particle action L_g also contains new couplings of gravitomagnetic fields to strong fields and weak potentials. These predict new physical phenomena: Axial jets of nuclear decay products emitted with left helicity along the axis of a massive, spinning body.
