Theoretical Foundation of Gravito-Electromagnetism
<http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/91>

Antoine Acke

Abstract

Under the heading "gravito-electromagnetism"(G.E.M.), the analogy between
gravitational and electrical phenomena that is expressed by Newton's law of
universal gravitation and Coulomb's law of electrical interaction, is extended
to a formal analogy between the gravitational and the electromagnetic fields. 
In this paper we present an introduction to G.E.M. and we propose a theoretical
foundation of this topic.

Do Gravitons from a Prior Universe Survive a LQG `Quantum Bounce'?
<http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/92>

Andrew W. Beckwith

Abstract

We ask if a formula for entropy, as given by S ≡E/T with a usual value
ascribed to initial entropy S~105 at the onset of inflation allows an order of
magnitude resolution of whether there could be a survival of a graviton from a
prior to the present universe, during a `bounce' as predicted by Loop Quantum
Gravity, using typical Planckian peak temperature values of T~1019GeV.  We
obtain values consistent with up to 1038 gravitons contributing to an energy
value of E~1024 GeV, if we assume a relic energy contribution where each
graviton initially exhibits a frequency spike of 1010Hz.  The value of E~1024
GeV is picked from looking at the aftermath of what happens if there is a
quantum bounce with a peak density value of ρ max imum ~ 2.07·ρplanck
[16] in a regime of LQG bounce radii on the order of magnitude of λ~10-35
meters. The author, in making estimates, specifically avoids using
S≡[E-µN] by setting the chemical potential µ≡0 at ultra high
temperatures – for reasons which are brought up in the conclusion.

The Sun Is Electrically Charged & the Conundrum of the "Missing Mass" Is
Explained <http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/93>

Bernard R. Bligh

Abstract

A study of the Sun's corona reveals that the velocities of electrons are
substantially higher than the velocity of escape and the velocities of protons
are well below the velocity of escape.  The Solar Wind contains equal
proportions of electrons and protons, it follows that there must be a mechanism
for ejecting protons from the surface of the Sun and for holding back most of
the electrons.  It is postulated here that the Sun and all hot stars have a net
positive electric charge. If a galaxy as a whole is neutral it follows that
there is a net negative charge in the interstellar space in a galaxy.  This
hypothesis is supported by the fact that electron clouds have been detected near
the bulge of the Milky Way. The next step in the reasoning is that there are
attractive electrical forces between these stars and the central bulge and that
these attractive forces account for the pattern of velocities of stars in orbit
in a galaxy (the so-called `flat rotation curve').  It follows that there is no
need for a hypothetical `missing mass' to provide a gravitational force for this
velocity pattern.

The Nature of Dimensions <http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/94>

Lawrence B. Crowell, Ray B. Munroe, Jr.

Abstract

An interesting pattern is observed in Clifford Algebra Symmetries, anticipated
M-Theory / F-Theory branes, G2 group symmetries, and the Fibonacci and Lucas
Number Sequences. This pattern may specify the structure of dimensions, and
implies a relationship between Scale Invariance, Supersymmetry and Spin
Statistics.

Orthodox Quantization of Einstein¡¯s Gravity: Might Its Unrenormalizability Be
Technically Fathomable and Physically Innocuous?
<http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/95>

Steven K. Kauffmann

Abstract

Many physical constants related to quantized gravity, e.g., the Planck length,
mass, curvature, stressenergy, etc., are nonanalytic in G at G = 0, and thus
have expansions in powers of G whose terms are progressively more divergent with
increasing order. Since the gravity field¡¯s classical action is inversely
proportional to G, the path integral for gravity-field quantum transition
amplitudes shows that these depend on G only through the product ©¤G, and are
nonanalytic in G at G = 0 for the same reason that all quantum transition
amplitudes are nonanalytic in ©¤ at ©¤ = 0, namely their standard oscillatory
essential singularity at the classical ¡®limit¡¯. Thus perturbation expansions
in powers of G of gravity-field transition amplitudes are also progressively
more divergent with increasing order, and hence unrenormalizable. While their
perturbative treatment is impossible, the exceedingly small value of ©¤ G makes
the semiclassical treatment of these amplitudes extraordinarily accurate, indeed
to such an extent that purely classical treatment of the gravity field ought to
always be entirely adequate. It should therefore be fruitful to couple classical
gravity to other fields which actually need to be quantized: those fields¡¯
ubiquitous, annoying ultraviolet divergences would thereupon undergo drastic
self-gravitational red shift, and thus be cut off.

Ever-present Lambda and the Quantum Potential of Spacetime
<http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/96>

Willard Mittelman

Abstract

An approach to dark energy is presented that combines ideas of causal set theory
with a Machian perspective and a treatment of spacetime as a condensate,
yielding a "quantum potential of spacetime" Q whose density ñQ acts as an
effective Ë that satisfies the uncertainty relation ∆V∆Ë ~ 1 of
unimodular relativity.  In contrast to the ever-present Ë of causal set theory,
ñQ's value is always non-negative, and the nonlocality of Q ensures that ñQ is
spatially homogeneous, in accordance with observation.

Co-Editor Jonathan J. Dickau's Statement
<http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/100>

Jonathan J. Dickau

Abstract

Cosmology is one area where there is no possibility to reproduce all of what we
observe in experiments in laboratories on Earth.  But what is real is there for
all to see, in the depths of space.  So what we do observe must be explained! 
To that end, scientists have woven an elaborate story about how the universe
came to be, and why it is the way we observe it today.  But our brave authors
have not been afraid to ask "what if the story is not exactly as we were told?"

Gravitation in a Timeless Quantum Space
<http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/103>

Davide Fiscaletti, Amrit S. Sorli

Abstract

The fundamental arena of the universe is a timeless space that has a granular
structure at the Planck scale and clock/time provides only the numerical order
of material changes inside this arena. Stellar objects and particles move into
space only and not into a temporal dimension that flows on its own. Granularity
of space allows speculation that space has a density which is in relation with
the amount of matter in a given region. Two fundamental quantities can be
introduced in order to describe gravitational interaction: density of universal
cosmic mass and density of empty space. The density of universal cosmic mass
increases with the increasing of the amount of matter present in a given region.
Density of empty space decreases with the increasing of the amount of matter in
a given region. Density of empty space provides a quantitative measure of its
geometrical structure. Less dense space is more curved and very dense space is
more flat. Physical objects have tendency to move into direction of higher
curvature/lower density of space. Gravitational interaction mass-space-mass is
immediate: presence of a mass causes change of density of empty space, change of
density of empty space causes gravitational motion. A mass acts on another mass
indirectly via the change of density of empty space. Gravity is an immediate
physical phenomenon carried directly by the quantum space: no motion of
particles or waves in space is needed to transmit gravitational interaction from
one to another material object, and numerical order of gravity is zero. Finally,
a timeless quantum-gravity space theory is suggested which is based on density
of universal cosmic mass, density of empty space and the perspectives of this
theory as regards the picture of the gravitational space are analyzed.

Elliptic Curves and Hyperdeterminants in Quantum Gravity
<http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/104>

Philip E. Gibbs

Abstract

Hyperdeterminants are generalizations of determinants from matrices to
multi-dimensional hypermatrices. They were discovered in the 19th century by
Arthur Cayley but were largely ignored over a period of 100 years before once
again being recognised as important in algebraic geometry, physics and number
theory. It is shown that a cubic elliptic curve whose Mordell-Weil group
contains a Z2 x Z2 x Z subgroup can be transformed into the degree four
hyperdeterminant on a 2x2x2 hypermatrix comprising its variables and
coefficients. Furthermore, a multilinear problem defined on a 2x2x2x2
hypermatrix of coefficients can be reduced to a quartic elliptic curve whose
J-invariant is expressed in terms of the hypermatrix and related invariants
including the degree 24 hyperdeterminant. These connections between elliptic
curves and hyperdeterminants may have applications in other areas including
physics.

Nonlinear Theory of Elementary Particles: IV. The Intermediate Bosons & Mass
Generation Theory <http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/105>

Alexander G. Kyriakos

Abstract

The purpose of this section of nonlinear theory of elementary particles (NTEP)
is to describe the mechanism of generation of massive elementary particles. The
theory, presented below, indicates the possibility of the particle mass
production by means of massive intermediate boson, but without the presence of
Higgs's boson. It is shown that nonlinearity is critical for the appearance of
particles' masses.

Dark Matter and Dark Energy Are Mirage
<http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/90>

Gunn Quznetsov

Abstract

It is known that probabilities of pointlike events are defined by some
generalization of Dirac equation. One part of such generalized equation
corresponds to the Dirac's leptonic equation, and the other part corresponds to
the Dirac's quark equation. The quark part of this equation is invariant under
the oscillations of chromatic states. And it turns out that these oscillations
bend space-time so that at large distance space expands with acceleration
according to Hubble's law. And these oscillations bend space-time so that here
appears the discrepancy between quantity of the luminous matter in the space
structures and the traditional picture of gravitational interaction of stars in
these structures.

Getting Path Integrals Physically and Technically Right
<http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/106>

Steven K. Kauffmann

Abstract

Feynman's Lagrangian path integral was an outgrowth of Dirac's vague surmise
that Lagrangians have a role in quantum mechanics. Lagrangians implicitly
incorporate Hamilton's first equation of motion, so their use contravenes the
uncertainty principle, but they are relevant to semiclassical approximations and
relatedly to the ubiquitous case that the Hamiltonian is quadratic in the
canonical momenta, which accounts for the Lagrangian path integral's "success".
Feynman also invented the Hamiltonian phase-space path integral, which is fully
compatible with the uncertainty principle. We recast this as an ordinary
functional integral by changing direct integration over subpaths constrained to
all have the same two endpoints into an equivalent integration over those
subpaths' unconstrained second derivatives. Function expansion with generalized
Legendre polynomials of time then enables the functional integral to be
unambiguously evaluated through first order in the elapsed time, yielding the
Schrödinger equation with a unique quantization of the classical Hamiltonian.
Widespread disbelief in that uniqueness stemmed from the mistaken notion that no
subpath can have its two endpoints arbitrarily far separated when its nonzero
elapsed time is made arbitrarily short. We also obtain the quantum amplitude for
any specified configuration or momentum path, which turns out to be an ordinary
functional integral over, respectively, all momentum or all configuration paths.
The first of these results is directly compared with Feynman's mistaken
Lagrangian-action hypothesis for such a configuration path amplitude, with
special heed to the case that the Hamiltonian is quadratic in the canonical
momenta.

Equivalence of Maxwell's Source-free Equations to the Time-dependent Schrödinger
Equation for a Solitary Particle with Two polarizations and Hamiltonian |CP|
<http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/107>

Steven K. Kauffmann

Abstract

It was pointed out in a previous paper that although neither the Klein-Gordon
equation nor the Dirac Hamiltonian produces sound solitary free-particle
relativistic quantum mechanics, the natural square-root relativistic Hamiltonian
for a nonzero-mass free particle does achieve this. Failures of the Klein-Gordon
and Dirac theories are reviewed: the solitary Dirac free particle has, inter
alia, an invariant speed well in excess of c and staggering spontaneous Compton
acceleration, but no pathologies whatsoever arise from the square-root
relativistic Hamiltonian. Dirac's key misapprehension of the underlying
four-vector character of the time-dependent, configuration-representation
Schrödinger equation for a solitary particle is laid bare, as is the invalidity
of the standard "proof" that the nonrelativistic limit of the Dirac equation is
the Pauli equation. Lorentz boosts from the particle rest frame point uniquely
to the square-root Hamiltonian, but these don't exist for a massless particle.
Instead, Maxwell's equations are dissected in spatial Fourier transform to
separate nondynamical longitudinal from dynamical transverse field degrees of
freedom. Upon their decoupling in the absence of sources, the transverse field
components are seen to obey two identical time-dependent Schrödinger equations
(owing to two linear polarizations), which have the massless free-particle
diagonalized square-root Hamiltonian. Those fields are readily modified to
conform to the attributes of solitary-photon wave functions. The wave functions'
relations to the potentials in radiation gauge are also worked out. The exercise
is then repeated without the considerable benefit of the spatial Fourier
transform.

Covariant Isolation from an Abelian Gauge Field of Its Nondynamical Potential,
Which, When Fed Back, Can Transform into a "Confining Yukawa"
<http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/108>

Steven K. Kauffmann

Abstract

For Abelian gauge theory a properly relativistic gauge is developed by
supplementing the Lorentz condition with causal determination of the time
component of the four-vector potential by retarded Coulomb transformation of the
charge density. This causal Lorentz gauge agrees with the Coulomb gauge for
static charge densities, but allows the four-vector potential to have a
longitudinal component that is determined by the time derivative of the
four-vector potential's time component. Just as in Coulomb gauge, the two
transverse components of the four-vector potential are its sole dynamical part.
The four-vector potential in this gauge covariantly separates into a dynamical
transverse four-vector potential and a nondynamical timelike/longitudinal
four-vector potential, where each of these two satisfies the Lorentz condition.
In fact, analogous partition of the conserved four-current shows each to satisfy
a Lorentz-condition Maxwell-equation system with its own conserved fourcurrent.
Because of this complete separation, either of these four-vector potentials can
be tinkered with without affecting its counterpart. Since it satisfies the
Lorentz condition, the nondynamical four-vector potential times a constant with
dimension of inverse length squared is itself a conserved four-current, and so
can be fed back into its own source current, which transforms its time component
into an extended Yukawa, with both exponentially decaying and exponentially
growing components. The latter might be the mechanism of quark-gluon
confinement: in non-Abelian color gauge theory the Yukawa mixture ratio ought to
be tied to color, with palpable consequences for "colorful" hot quark-gluon
plasmas.

Do Experiment and the Correspondence Principle Oblige Revision of Relativistic
Quantum Theory? <http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/109>

Steven K. Kauffmann

Abstract

Recent preliminary data gathered by the Fermilab MINOS Collaboration suggest
with 95% confidence that the mass of the muon neutrino differs from that of its
antineutrino partner, which contradicts the entrenched relativistic quantum
theory notion that a free antiparticle is a negativeenergy free particle
compelled to travel backwards in time. Also a discrepancy of about five standard
deviations in the value of the proton charge radius recently obtained from
muonic hydrogen versus that previously obtained from electronic hydrogen casts
doubt on the calculation of the dominant relativistic QED contributions to the
effects that are actually measured (e.g., the Lamb shift): these QED
contributions dominate proton charge radius contributions less in muonic
hydrogen than in electronic hydrogen. The negative-energy "free particles" of
entrenched relativistic quantum theory are well-known features of the
Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations, which are shown to have many other unphysical
features as well. The correspondence principle for relativistic particles is
incompatible with these two equations, produces no unphysical features and
implies only positive energies for free particles, which eliminates the very
basis of the entrenched notion of antiparticles, as well as of the CPT theorem.
This principle thus requires antiparticles to arise from charge conjugation (or
more generally CP) invariance, whose known breaking is naturally expected to
produce mass splitting between particle and antiparticle, in consonance with the
preliminary MINOS data. It also requires revamping of relativistic QED, which is
in accord with the doubt cast on it by the proton charge radius results, and
implies that QED is nonlocal, i.e. has no Hamiltonian density.

Exploring the Connections between Energy, Entropy and Quantum Non-locality
<http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/110>

Jonathan J. Dickau

Abstract

The notion that fundamental properties common to all energetic phenomena
engender both thermodynamic entropy and quantum non-locality has been explored
by the author in two previous papers, and a significant amount of research. 
This paper summarizes those results, including both ideas from those papers and
more recent developments.  The idea that entropy pertains to the dispersal – or
spreading and sharing – of energy has been widely adopted in Chemistry texts,
over the prior notion that entropy reflects disorder.  However; the situation is
very different in Physics where that question has been sidestepped by the
adoption of a model based on information loss.  The author believes it is time
to re-visit this matter, as the tendency for energy to spread and be shared may
be a fundamental property.

Guest-Editor Matti Pitkänen's Statement on Steven K. Kauffmann's Work
<http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/113>

Matti Pitkänen

Abstract

For 26 years superstrings have been seen as the only game in the town. Besides
the well-known problems of M-theory there are also some other clouds in the
horizon. For instance, the recently discovered Lamb shift anomaly of muonic
hydrogen can be seen as a challenge of either QED or QCD and even of the entire
QFT approach underlying M-theory. With inspiration coming from these anomalies
Steven Kauffmann discusses in this issue his own proposal about what the return
to the roots could mean. Steven Kauffmann's proposal is to give up Dirac and
d'Alembert type equations altogether and return to single particle level. This
means that one identifies single particle Hamiltonian as a generalization of the
relativistic formula for the energy of charged particle and allows only positive
energies so that only the positive square root is allowed. In this approach CP
and CPT are not automatic symmetries: C or CP, together with "crossing" of
"charge equivalence" symmetry, must be explicitly imposed– the resulting field
theory is explicitly non-local in its configuration regime due to the influence
of the square root even at the second-quantized level. This could make it easier
to understand CP and CPT breaking. The approach has to meet burdensome technical
challenges due to the appearance of the square root, and the usual puzzles of
massless gauge theories, which are only partially dynamical and quantizable,
remain to be fully assimilated into its particular context. Also the
construction of counterparts of Feynman diagrams in this framework is a
considerable challenge. These problems are discussed in the articles of this
issue. I hope that the work of Steven Kauffmann can serve as inspiration for
other thinkers.

Can Hawking's Godless TOE Run without Consciousness Internal and Fundamental to
Penrose's Cyclic Universe?
<http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/111>

Graham P. Smetham

Abstract

Hawking-Mlodinow Theory of Everything ("HAM-TOE") requires the assumption that
mathematics has within its own nature the power to `breath fire' into its own
equations. But one must ask what actually guarantees that just because `the
positive energy of matter can be balanced by the negative gravitational energy'
it must follow that the universe `will create itself from nothing.' Hawking was
the seventeenth occupant of the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics at Cambridge
University. How remarkable then that, when the full implications of the HAM-TOE
model are properly drawn out, the resulting theological-metaphysical model bears
an uncanny resemblance to the theological perspective of the second occupant of
the Lucasian Chair, Sir Isaac Newton, who suggested that space was the
`sensorium of God.' The universe uses the perceiving process within the
dualistic world of experience in order to explore and experience its own nature.
Human beings occupy a central place in this process because they are the
universe's agents (leaving aside the issue of beings elsewhere in the universe)
in the process of universal self-exploration, self-perfection and
self-transcendence. This indeed is a universal process of self-discovery which
modern theologians may wish to call `God.'

In the article "Theoretical Foundation of Gravito-electromagnetism" is shown
that it is possible to understand the phenomena of the gravitational interaction
and to deduce the laws of gravito-electromagnetism by introducing
"g-information" as the substance of the gravitational field.

The concept of "g-information" is added to the arsenal of physical concepts by
narrowing the everyday meaning of the term "information": this term is given a
specific sense by defining it mathematically.

It is assumed that g-information is transported through space by "informatons":
dot-shaped mass- and energyless entities that move at she speed of light and
that carry the elementary quantity of g-information.  Informatons are generated
by material objects: each material object manifests itself in space by emitting
informatons at a rate defined by its mass.

It is shown that the expanding cloud of g-information emitted by an object at
rest can be identified with the gravitational field of that object, and that the
physical quantity "gravitational field E-g" characterizes the density of the
flow of g-information in a point.  It is also shown that informatons emitted by
a moving object carry also information regarding the velocity of the emitter. 
That information is called beta-information and manifests itself macroscopally
as the physical quantity "gravitational induction B-g" that characterizes the
density of the cloud of beta-information in a point.  The relationships between
field and induction (the laws of G.E.M.) can mathematically be derived from the
definitions of the attributes of an informaton.

The gravitational field is the medium that mediates in the gravitational
interaction.  This interaction can be understood as the effect of the
disturbance of the characteristic symmetry of the gravitational field generated
by an object by the gravitational field generated by other objects.

The theory, proposed in this article, interprets the gravitational field of an
object as the macroscopic manifestation of the attributes of the informatons
emitted by that object.  The information carried by the informatons can be
considered as the - continuously regenerating - substance of the gravitational
field in a point.  In "the theory of informatons", informatons play a role that
can be compared with that of the "tiny particles" in the "mechanical theories"
about gravitation (Le Sage, Majorana, ...).  Unlike these theories, the theorie 
of informatons does't violate the principle of conservation of energy because
informatons transport only information - neither mass, nor energy - and the
interaction is not the effect of collisions.

The Arrow of Time Problem: Answering if Time Flow Initially Favouritizes One
Direction Blatantly <http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/119>

Andrew W. Beckwith, Lukasz A. Glinka

Abstract

The following article begins an analysis of if by first principles there is a
way to show time unidrectionality at the start of creation. Recently J. Vaccarro
appealed to Kaon physics to show how time asymmetry could be violated after the
big bang, as well as how and why time asymmetry vanishes later. We examine the
nature of the evolution Hamiltonian after stepping through Vacarro's analysis
and go to where we think it needs to be improved. This answers questions to if
both the CPT theorem and related physics are manifestly violated, or not
violated at the beginning of emergent space time, via judicious use of the
Wheeler-DeWitt equation, a base of quantum cosmology and quantum gravity. We
initially detail the limits of a derivation given the authors by Vaccaro which
claims using of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation, and suggest ways to suppress the
CPT violation, as suggested by Kaon physics after inflation at the onset of
inflation, using refinements suggested by the authors. We propose to support the
Kauffmann treatment of CPT violation as the useful one, as well, and will be
part of long term solutions to this problem. Note that though, Vaccaro
incorrectly identifies a Euclidian representation of the Hamiltonian (energy)
function as equal to the Hamiltonian constraint, which leads to identifying the
Schrodinger equation used for Kaon physics with the Wheeler-DeWitt equation as
written by Vaccaro is still usual non-relativistic time-dependent quantum
mechanics and not necessarily linkable to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation, which in
the result of primary quantization of the Hamiltonian constraint and has
manifestly absent time, in the vicinity of a `quantum bounce', or singularity.

On Astrometric Data & Time Varying Sun-Earth Distance in Light of Carmeli Metric
<http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/120>

Victor Christianto

Abstract

In this note, we describe shortly time varying Sun-Earth distance in the light
of Carmeli metric and compare the result with recent astrometric data. The
graphical plot suggests that there should be linear-linear correspondence
between Sun-planets distances and their time variation. Carmeli metric simply
adds a momentum term to the normal 4-d spacetime formulation, to give us a 5-d
working space, but actually the original Carmeli metric replaces time dimension
in Minkowski metric to become momentum term divided by quadratic Hubble
constant. One obvious advantage from Carmeli metric is that it can be used to
derive Tully-Fisher law, which can explain galaxy motion without invoking dark
matter.

A New Face of the Multiverse Hypothesis: Bosonic-phononic Inflaton Quantum

Lukasz Glinka

Abstract

The boson-phonon duality due to inflaton energy is presented in the context of
quantum universes discussed recently by the author. The duality leads to bonons,
i.e. the bosonic-phononic quantum universes. This state of things manifestly
corresponds to the Lewis–Kripke modal realism, and physical presence of
Multiverse in Nature.

particles. A specific case is possible, when new stable particles bear ordinary
electric charge and bind in heavy "atoms" by ordinary Coulomb interaction. Such
possibility is severely restricted by the constraints on anomalous isotopes of
light elements that form positively charged heavy species with ordinary
electrons. The trouble is avoided, if stable particles X−− with
charge -2 are in excess over their antiparticles (with charge +2) and there are
no stable particles with charges +1 and -1. Then primordial helium, formed in
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, captures all X−− in neutral "atoms" of
O-helium (OHe), thus creating a specific Warmer than Cold nuclear-interacting
composite dark matter. In the Galaxy, destruction of OHe and acceleration of
free X−− can result in anomalous component of cosmic rays.
Collisions of OHe atoms in the central part of Galaxy results in their
excitation with successive emission of electron-positron pairs, what can explain
excessive radiation of positron annihilation line, observed by INTEGRAL. Slowed
down in the terrestrial matter, OHe is elusive for direct methods of underground
dark matter detection based on the search for effects of nuclear recoil in
WIMP-nucleus collisions. However OHe-nucleus interaction leads to their binding
and in OHe-Na system the energy of such level can be in the interval of energy
2-4 keV. The concentration of OHe in the matter of underground detectors is
rapidly adjusted to the incoming flux of cosmic O-helium. Therefore the rate of
energy release in radiative capture of Na by OHe should experience annual
modulations. It explains the results of DAMA/NaI and DAMA/LIBRA experiments. The
existence of low energy bound state in OHe-Na system follows from the solution
of Schrodinger equation for relative motion of nucleus and OHe in a spherically
symmetrical potential, formed by the Yukawa tail of nuclear scalar isoscalar
attraction potential, acting on He beyond the nucleus, and its Coulomb repulsion
at distances from nuclear surface, smaller than the size of OHe. Within the
uncertainties of nuclear physics parameters the values of coupling strength and
mass of sigma meson, mediating scalar isoscalar nuclear potential, are found, at
which the sodium nuclei have a few keV binding energy with OHe. Transitions to
more energetic levels of Na+OHe system imply tunneling through Coulomb barrier
that leads to suppression of annual modulation of events with MeV-tens MeV
energy release in the correspondence with the results of DAMA experiments. The
puzzles of direct dark matter searches appear in this solution as a reflection
of nontrivial nuclear physics of OHe.
