宇宙学常数问题

The Problem of the Cosmological Constant

Tom Ostoma, Mike Trushyk

摘要:

将电磁量子引力理论应用于宇宙学常数问题。EMQG是一种量子引力理论(参考文献1),其中量子真空的虚粒子在所有引力相互作用中起着非常重要的作用,也在加速运动中起着非常重要的作用。根据EMQG理论(以及一般意义上的量子场论),真空中存在着大量的虚粒子,包括虚费米子和虚反费米子粒子,它们的质量相等,还有各种力粒子种类的虚玻色子粒子。因此,宇宙学常数的问题实质上等同于确定真空中所有虚粒子对整个宇宙的总曲率和动力学贡献的质量。我们最初的分析是基于量子真空中虚费米子和虚反费米子粒子对的产生和毁灭的完美对称性假设,这符合现有的电荷守恒定律,也符合新的引力“质量电荷”守恒定律。我们现在相信,这未必是真的,EMQG可以允许宇宙学常数有一个非常小的值。此外,事实证明,这个问题只有在解决了宇宙中重子不对称性问题时才能解决。换句话说,必须找到一个答案,为什么我们的宇宙似乎只包含真正的物质,而很少,如果有的话。

英文摘要:

ElectroMagnetic Quantum Gravity (EMQG) is applied to the problem of the Cosmological Constant. EMQG is a quantum gravity theory (ref. 1) in which the virtual particles of the quantum vacuum play a very important role in all gravitational interactions, and also in accelerated motion. According to EMQG theory (and quantum field theory in general), empty space is populated by vast numbers of virtual particles, consisting of virtual fermion and virtual anti-fermion particles, which posses mass, and also virtual boson particles of all the various force particle species. Therefore the problem of the cosmological constant is essentially equivalent to a determination of the mass contributed by all the virtual particles of the vacuum to the overall curvature and dynamics of the entire universe. Our original analysis was based on the assumption of perfect symmetry in the creation and destruction of virtual fermion and virtual anti-fermion particle pairs in the quantum vacuum, which is in accordance with the existing laws of conservation of both electric charge, and also of the new law of conservation of gravitational 'mass charge'. We now believe that this may not be necessarily true, and that EMQG can allow the possibility of a very tiny value for the cosmological constant. Furthermore, it turns out that this question can only be resolved when a solution to the problem of baryon asymmetry in the universe is resolved. In other words an answer must be found as to why our universe seems to contain only real matter, and very little, if any anti-matter.
