Changes in the fine structure of stochastic distributions as a consequence of space-time fluctuations

Earlier we showed that the fine structure of the spectrum of amplitude variations in the results of measurements of the processes of different nature (in other words, the fine structure of the dispersion of results or the pattern of the corresponding histograms) is subject to macroscopic fluctuations, changing regularly with time. These changes indicate that the dispersion of results that remains after all artifacts are excluded inevitably accompanies any measurements and reflects very basic features of our world. In our research, we have come to the conclusion that this dispersion of results is the effect of space-time fluctuations, which, in their turn, are caused by the movement of the measured object in an anisotropic gravitational field. Among other things, this conclusion means that the examination of the detailed pattern of distributions obtained from the results of measurement of the dynamics of processes of different nature discovers laws, which cannot be revealed with traditional methods for the analysis of time series. These assertions are based on the results of long-term experimental investigations conducted for many decades. The major part of these results, starting with 1958, is published in Russian. The goal of this paper is to give a brief review of those results and provide corresponding references. The most general conclusion of our research is the evidence that the fine structure of stochastic distributions is not accidental. In other words, noncasual is the pattern of histograms plotted from a rather small number of the results of measurement of the dynamics of processes of different nature, from the biochemical reactions and noise in the gravitational antenna to the alpha-decay.Comment: 11 pages, 51 reference

Experimental investigation of spinning massive body influence on fine structure of distribution functions of alpha-decay rate fluctuations

The present investigation is dedicated to study of physical basis of macroscopic fluctuations effect. In particular experimental investigation of possible influence of rapidly spinning massive body on distribution function of the alpha-decay rate fluctuations was carried out. Possible anisotropy of such influence was tested. The paper also contains fundamentals of the macroscopic fluctuations effect, method of experimental data processing and short review of phenomenology collected during more than fifty-years history of the macroscopic fluctuation effect investigations.Comment: 16 pages, 13 figure

Cosmo-physical effects in the time series of the GCP network

In the GCP network, an Internet system of noise generators developed under the direction of Prof. R. Nelson and deployed at various geographical points, synchronous measurements of a priori random noise processes are carried out every second. The time series obtained in these measurements are "quite random" from the viewpoint of traditional methods of statistical analysis. However, as shown in our works, using the method of histogram comparison allows one to discover clear regularities in the noise processes of any nature, from biochemical reactions to radioactive decay or noise in the gravitational antenna. These regularities cannot be revealed by the traditional methods of time series analysis and seem to be determined by fluctuations of the space-time, which result from the movement of the "laboratory" relative to the mass thicknesses (celestial bodies). The application of this method to the analysis of time series of the GCP system showed all the main regularities described earlier: the histogram pattern changes with well-resolved sidereal and solar daily periods; at different geographical points, similar histogram patterns are highly probable to appear at the same local time; histograms with a specific "eclipse" pattern appear synchronously "all over the Earth" at the moments of culmination of a solar eclipse.Comment: 19 pages, 25 figure

On the characteristic form of histograms appearing at the culmination of solar eclipse

As shown in a number of our works, the form of histograms - distributions of amplitude fluctuations - varies regularly in time, with these variations being similar for processes of any nature, from biochemical reactions to noise in the gravitational antenna and all types of the radioactive decay. In particular, we have revealed basic laws, suggesting a cosmo-physical nature of these phenomena, in the time series created by the noise generators of the global GCP net. On the basis of all the results obtained, a conclusion has been made that the histogram form is determined by fluctuations of the spacetime, which depend on the movement of the measured system (laboratory) relative to the heavenly bodies. An important step to understand the nature of these phenomena was the finding that at the moments of the new Moon, a specific histogram form appears practically simultaneously at different geographical points, from Arctic to Antarctic, in middle latitudes of West and East hemispheres. This effect seems to be not due to a change of the tide-generating forces; to explain it, nontrivial hypotheses are needed. The present paper shows the appearance of specific histogram forms at the culminations of the solar eclipses (moments of the geocentric superposition of the Sun and the Moon), with the eclipse forms differing from the new-moon ones. Specific histogram forms appear practically simultaneously all over the Earth and depend nor on the geographical coordinates, nor on the nature of the process studied.Comment: 11 pages, 1 table, 19 figure

Cosmo-physical effects in structure of the daily and yearly periods of change in the shape of the histograms constructed by results of measurements of alpha-activity Pu-239

As shown in the previous publications, the shape of the histograms constructed by measurements of alpha-activity of samples of Pu-239, changes with periods equal approximately 24 hours, 27 days, and a year. At a higher resolution each of these periods splits as a minimum in two components: daily period consists of two: sidereal day (1436 minutes) and solar day (1440 minutes), 27-days period splits in 2 to 3 "sub-periods", and the yearly period appears to be a join of "calendar" period (which is equal to 1440 x 365 = 525600 minutes) and "solar" period (equal to [(1440 x 365) + 369] =525969 minutes). In the present paper results of more detailed research of this phenomenon are offered.Comment: 15 pages, 10 figure

Local-time effect on small space-time scale

The paper presents an investigation of local-time effect - one of the manifestations of macroscopic fluctuations phenomena. Was shown the existence of the named effect for longitudinal distance between locations of measurements up to 500 meters. Also a structure of intervals distribution in neighborhood of local-time peak was studied and splitting of the peak was found out. Obtained results lead to conclusion about sharp anisotropy of space-time.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure

Cosmophysical Factors in the Fluctuation Amplitude Spectrum of Brownian Motion

Phenomenon of the regular variability of the fine structure of the fluctuation in the amplitude distributions (shapes of related histograms) for the case of Brownian motion was investigated. We took an advantage of the dynamic light scattering method (DLS) to get a stochastically fluctuated signal determined by Brownian motion. Shape of the histograms is most likely to vary, synchronous, in two proximally located independent cells containing Brownian particles. The synchronism persists in the cells distant at 2m from each other, and positioned meridionally. With a parallel-wise positioning of the cells, high probability of the synchronous variation in the shape of the histograms by local time has been observed. This result meets the previous conclusion about the dependency of histogram shapes ("fluctuation amplitudes" of the spectra of stochastic processes) upon rotation of the Earth

The study of synchronous (by local time) changes of the statistical properties of thermal noise and alpha-activity fluctuations of a 239-Pu sample

Experimentally obtained and analyzed fine structure of statistical distributions for two physically independent processes: alpha-decay rate fluctuations of Pu-239 sample in Pushchino (Moscow region, Russia) and equilibrium voltage fluctuations (Johnson noise) from metal-film resistor in Tbilisi (Georgia). Special investigation of histograms shape similarity in these processes demonstrated majority of previously studied effects, called - macroscopic fluctuations. Offered qualitative model of the observed effects

Experimental investigations of local-time effect existence on laboratory scale and heterogeneity of space-time

The main subject of the work is experimental investigation of local-time effect existence on laboratory scale, which means longitudinal distances between locations of measurements from tens to one meter. Also short revue of our investigations of local-time effect existence for distances from 15 km to 500 m are presented. Besides investigations of the minimal spatial scale of local-time effect existence the paper presents investigations of the named effect for time domain. In this relation a structure of intervals distribution in neighborhood of local-time peak was studied and splitting of the peak was found out. Further investigations shows second order splitting of local-time peak. From this result arise a supposition that space-time heterogeneity, which following from local-time effect existence probably has fractal character. Obtained results lead to conclusion about sharp anisotropy of space-time.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure

Fine structure of histograms of alpha-activity measurements depends on direction of alpha particles flow and the Earth rotation: experiments with collimators

The fine structure of histograms of measurements of 239Pu alpha-activity varies periodically, and the period of these variations is equal to sidereal day (1436 minutes). The periodicity is not observed in the experiments with collimator that restricts the alpha particles flow to be oriented to the Polar Star. Based on this study and other independent data, such as measurements conducted by the Arctic expedition, and similarity of the histograms in processes observed at different locations at the same local time, the conclusion was made, that the fine structure of statistical distributions of the observed processes depends on the celestial sphere.Comment: 11 pages, 6 pages, 3 table
