Abstract

DARK ENERGY AND QUANTUM GRAVITATION, FROM NEUTRINO OSCILLATIONS

We argue that the present classical formalism of neutrino oscillations is just approximate (cf. PDG 2006), thus requiring various second-order corrections : internal kinetic dispersion from internal mass dispersion ; curing Lorentz invariance violation between different MASS EIGENSTATES, in transitions of the kind m1 => m2, through energy shifts (m2^2-m1^2)/(2p), made salient in phase factors ; so, necessary transfers of quadri-momentum with any medium, even "vacuum" ; so, evidence of ethereal "DARK ENERGY" of purely weak essence, within "vacuum" oscillations ; actual violation of some deeply rooted principles of "quantum mechanics" (corpuscular elementarity, orthogonality of eigenstates amplitudes, Wigner's rules of super-selection, Heisenberg's relations of uncertainty) ; strict non-hermiticity of the Hamiltonian operator, involving FINITE PROPER LIFETIMES ; neutrino mass matrices duly of the "CKM" type, as for quarks ; "UBIQUITY" concept and existence of "PROBABILITY WAVES", instead of matter waves, giving serious credibility to the paradoxical lemma of intense radiation from the vicinity of so-called "black holes" and "pulsars" (so, faking genuine "white wells"). Spontaneous individual birth of zero-mass neutrinos (not by pairs, from Lorentz invariance !), might explain the paradoxical excess of "dark energy" over "dark mass", overwhelming at cosmological scales. Opposition is thus made between coherent radiation endowed with gravitational effects, and incoherent radiation with zero gravitational power, in fundamental lemma for QUANTUM GRAVITATION.

POISE AND EVOLUTION OF THE GALAXY : STRUCTURE , FLARES AND COSMIC RAYS

Many essential paradoxes in the mechanical balance of the Galaxy are highlighted. Their outstanding relevance demands a coherent and likely explanation . We propose a unique and synthetic interpretation, including a cosmological theory of the origin of the observed cosmic rays, especially at the highest energies known. It involves matter-antimatter annihilation in the median plane of the Milky Way, as a source of "dark matter". Accordingly, we discuss the structure and balance of the Galaxy, seen as made of two parallel disks of matter versus antimatter dominance, and opposed by the repulsion of an annihilation gas, settled in the equator disk. The admitted suppression of antimatter in the Universe, just after the "Big-Bang", is questioned. Ultra-relativistic thermodynamics of cosmic rays are still settled. Many stringent tests tend to confirm our theory ; pointedly, the now classical energy behaviour of the incident flux of energetic cosmic rays is easily derived as a power law, quite with expected exponents of -2.5 and -3, possibly (main dependence, including the first knee). Ultra-high energies, further, are easily attainable, with no necessary restriction of the "GZK" kind, for instance. Above 10^20 eV, rather, a new break is still thus made feasible.
