Analysis of Data from a Quantum Gravity Experiment

TL;DR

This paper applies a new quantum gravity theory to analyze historical interferometer data, revealing an in-flow of quantum foam towards the Sun consistent with theoretical predictions, thus supporting the new physics model.

Contribution

It introduces a novel information-theoretic quantum gravity model and re-analyzes historical data to identify quantum foam in-flow effects.

Findings

Measured in-flow speed of 47 +/- 6 km/s towards the Sun

Re-analysis confirms quantum foam in-flow consistent with theory

Supports the new physics model with historical experimental data

Abstract

A new information-theoretic modelling of reality has given rise to a quantum- foam description of space, relative to which absolute motion is meaningful. In a previous paper (Cahill and Kitto) it was shown that in this new physics Michelson interferometers show absolute motion effects when operated in dielectric mode, as indeed all such experiments had indicated, and re-analysis of the experimental data showed that the measured speeds were all in agreement with the COBE CBR dipole-fit speed of 365 +/- 18 km/s. Here the new physics is applied, using a different type of analysis, to the extensive data from dielectric-mode interferometer observations by Miller (1933). Here the speed of in-flow of the quantum foam towards the Sun is determined from Miller's data to be 47 +/- 6km/s, compared to the theoretical value of 42 km/s. This observed in-flow is a signature of a quantum gravity effect in the new physics.
