Astronomy
(subquantum kinetics)
LaViolette
is credited with the discovery that brown dwarfs and jovian planets
lie along the lower main sequence of Eddington's stellar mass-luminosity
relation.[18] This finding confirmed the subquantum
kinetics prediction that photons in a galaxy environs should
progressively blueshift their frequency over time, spontaneously
generating an energy excess termed genic energy;[4] also see SQK Predictions No. 4 and 5. Professor Pappas at the Technical
University of Pireaus has taught his students about LaViolette's
genic energy M-L discovery and has quizzed them about it.
This
genic energy hypothesis also led LaViolette to predict the existence
and magnitude of the Pioneer effect over a decade prior to its
discovery.[19] This prediction is further elaborated
on in SQK Prediction No. 6; also see discussion given in the
following Pioneer
effect press release. Nobel Laureate Hans Bethe read
Dr. LaViolette's paper in September 2002 and agreed to sponsor
it for posting to the Cornell electronic preprint archive (arxiv.org).
He communicated to LaViolette that "he felt that [LaViolette]
may have something there" and that he "doesn't know
of anyone else who has proposed something similar."
Based
on the continuous creation cosmology that was forthcoming from
subquantum kinetics, LaViolette predicted in 1985, elaborated
on in subsequent publications, a galaxy growth scenario.[4,
6, 20] His
prediction was confirmed in 1995 by Hubble Space Telescope observations
of galaxies in high-redshift galactic clusters; see SQK Prediction No. 7.
Based
on the continuous creation and genic energy predictions of subquantum
kinetics, LaViolette correctly predicted in 1985 that blue supergiants
should be the precursors of supernova explosions, not red giants.[4] His prediction was verified
in 1987 through the discovery that the precursor to Magellanic
Cloud Supernova 1987A was a blue supergiant; see SQK Prediction No. 9.
Based
on the continuous creation predictions of subquantum kinetics,
LaViolette correctly predicted in 1985 that high mass stars such
as blue giant, blue supergiant, and Wolf-Rayet stars should populate
the Galactic core region.[4, 6] His prediction was verified
in 1995 and 2003 through infrared telescope observations of the
center of our Galaxy; see SQK Prediction No. 10.
Physics--field
theory (subquantum kinetics)
LaViolette's
subquantum kinetics theory qualifies as a unified field theory
in that it provides explanations for the electric and magnetic
fields, gravitational field, nuclear binding force, and weak
force. It is the first such theory to predict the existence
of a bipolarity for the gravitational field and a direct coupling
with the electric field, one that may be observed even at low
energies (E ~ 104 volts).[4, 6, 21]
In
his 1985 introductory paper on subquantum kinetics,[4] LaViolette proposed that the wave
characteristics of subatomic particles should arise from a stationary
electric potential wave pattern in the particle core; see SQK Prediction No. 1. This prediction was confirmed
in 2002 by particle scattering experiment findings indicating
that the electric charge distribution in the nucleon core has
a wave character similar to what LaViolette had proposed. This
is discussed in detail in LaViolette's 2008
paper in the International Journal of General Systems
(IJGS).[5] This confirmation led LaViolette to conclude
that the Schroedinger wave packet model is invalid, although
quantum mechanics is mathematically workable in its present form.[5]
In
his 1985 IJGS paper, LaViolette predicted on the basis
of subquantum kinetics that higher energy photons should travel
slightly more rapidly than lower energy photons.[4]
This prediction was confirmed in 2007 with the discovery
by a team of astrophysicists using the MAGIC gamma ray telescope
who found that higher energy gamma rays traveled faster from
a distant galaxy than their lower energy companions.[22] This is further discussed at SQK Prediction No. 2 and in his 2008 IJGS paper.[5]
