24. Particular tests

For certain microscopic events, we would expect to see angular anisotropy. To detect this it would be necessary to know, when collecting and analyz­ing data, the angular orientation of the experimen­tal apparatus in relation to the “fixed” stars. DM predicts that the structure of a quark would have a particular orientation with respect to the fixed coordinate axes. As a consequence, a particularly energetic quark-antiquark jet might exhibit angular anisotropy at a microscopic level. This could be detected by collecting data on such jets, and, taking into consideration the geographical site and the side real time, transforming the angular orien­tation from laboratory coordinates to astronomi­cal coordinates. At a sufficiently microscopic level, the statistics of the angular distribution of such events should reveal a basic anisotropy, and would allow the determination of the preferred coordinate axes.

If L and T are large enough, then a crystal (as is used in a very accurate oscillator) may change its electrical impedance when the combination of its own lattice spacing, spatial orientation, abso­lute velocity vector through the DM lattice and driven frequency, fall into phase with the DM lat­tice spacing, orientation and natural frequency, k/T. In doing this experiment, the crystal would be driven at a frequency far from its natural fre­quency. It might be possible to drive the crystal by illuminating it with light of the proper frequency. This would add another variable, the orientation of the light beam. By "light" we mean any electro­magnetic radiation. Once the major parameters of the DM lattice are known, then such a device could be used to measure absolute angular orien­tation and velocity through the lattice.

A detectable quantization of energy levels in particles might occur as the energy becomes very high. Of course, this would have to be measured in the frame of the preferred coordinate system. This means that one would have to correct for the changing velocity due to both the earth's ro­tation and orbit. In other words, the search for such quantization requires taking out the earth's local variable motion, and then correcting for the presently unknown average motion. This may not be very difficult.

If it proves possible to arrange to detect the absolute velocity of some experimental apparatus relative to the lattice substrate, it is clear that being able to do so violates no experimentally de­termined fact; all we have done in that area is to have tried and failed. The author believes that the connection between that failure and the obviously correct theory of relativity is simply heuristic and not compelling.

The theory would have to (in principle) be able to predict all of the parameters of physics without any further need for any experiments other than informational experiments. It is quite likely that the computations required may be too large to be practical if they have to be done as Monte Carlo experiments.
