Fluid quantum gravity and relativity." (2017) >> Due to non-zero, positive viscosity of the SQS, and to Bernoulli pressure, these vortices attract the surrounding quanta, pressure decreases and the consequent incoming flow of quanta lets arise a gravitational potential. This is called superfluid quantum gravity. In this model we don't resort to gravitons. Once comparing superfluid quantum gravity with general relativity, it is evident how a hydrodynamic gravity could fully account for the relativistic effects attributed to spacetime distortion, where the space curvature is substituted by flows of quanta. Also special relativity can be merged in the hydrodynamics of a SQS and we obtain a general simplification of Einstein's relativity under the single effect of superfluid quantum gravity. But what are the limits of scale invariance in these fields? Re: unification of QG with QFT and the Standard Model: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40478219 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40478219 : > But the Standard Model Lagrangian doesn't describe n-body gravity, n-body quantum gravity, photons in Bose-Einstein Condensates; liquid light in superfluids and superconductors, black hole thermodynamics and external or internal topology, unreversibility or not, or even fluids with vortices or curl that certainly affect particles interacting in multiple fields. Are magnetic flux ropes similar to helically polarized astrophysical jets like solar CMEs and the quasar jet that is pointed at earth? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39132365 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39132365 Do helical or double-helical plasmas effectively beam energy? How is a magsail different from a light sail? Are there any deployed magsails? Are there combo solar+magsails? A magsail could be built out of a superconducting loop.
