Observational Tests to Discern the Topology of Planckian Space-Time
Abstract
Description
Observational diagnostics are constructed which reflect the underlying topology of Planckian space-time, and are directly related to phenomena on much larger scales. Specific predictions are made for the masses of elementary particles, coupling constants, quark confinement, black hole states, and the cosmological constant. In particular, a mass of 131.6 GeV is found for the Higgs boson. The main presented result is a discrete spectral signature at inverse integer multiples of the zero point frequency $ν_0=857.3588$ MHz. That is, each photon of frequency $ν_0m$, for an integer $m$, is paired with an otherwise identical photon $ν_0/m$, produced by the vacuum, but not vice versa. The reader interested in the latter result only, should proceed to Section 6 after the Introduction.
