Some strange astrophysical and cosmological findings from the TGD point of view

Anomalies in both astrophysics and cosmology have been rapidly accumulating during the last years. The most recent astrophysical anomalies that I have encountered relate closely also to the TGD view of biology and consciousness.

1. There is evidence that Earth had a ring before the Cambrian Explosion (see this). The proposed explanation based on the TGD variant of the Expanding Earth hypothesis (see this). The ring would have existed already before the Cambrian Explosion along the equator but the rapid expansion of the Earth (radius was doubled) implied that Earth catched the ring resulting in a large number of meteor craters along the equator and a temporary cooling of the climate caused by the shadow of the ring.
2. The scent of space (see this) is a strange phenomenon reported by astronauts. It is now known that olfaction involves at the fundamental level infrared light. The scent could relate to so called PAHs (see this and this), which are aromatic molecules with several rings. PAH are known to produce the so called unidentified infrared bands (UIBs) for a radiation arriving from the interstellar space, even from regions containing no stars or involving no star formation. The mechanism could be non-chemical and involve the generalization of Pollack effect transferring ordinary protons to dark protons at the magnetic body and their dropping back back and in this way producing the infrared photons.
3. The surprisingly strong evidence that the position of Mars (see this) correlates strongly with the stock market crashes is in conflict with the basic beliefs of physicalist. During the crashes the distance of Mars tends to be at the other side of the Sun than Earth. The TGD based explanation would rely on the loss of the predicted quantum coherence in astrophysical scales due the splitting of the monopole flux tubes connecting Earth and Mars (this mechanism might be at work although Mars has no large scale magnetic field). This would lead to a partial loss of quantum control at the level of collective consciousness and lead to panic reactions.

There are also numerous cosmological anomalies.

1. The surplus of deuterium nuclei in the cosmic ray spectrum (see this) is difficult to understand in the standard physics framework. There is also evidence for pairs of deuterium-anti-deuterium nuclei and even helium-antihelium nuclei (see this).

   The TGD inspired model of stars discussed in (see this) deviates dramatically from the standard model and proposes that M₈₉ hadron physics with mass scale 512 times that for the ordinary hadron physics might be involved. There is some evidence for M₈₉ mesons from LHC. The decay of the monopole flux tubes carrying dark M₈₉ nuclei as analogs of ordinary nuclei along the solar surface would produce solar energy and solar wind. The flux of M₈₉ nuclei arriving along monopole flux tubes from the Milky Way giant blackhole would provide the energy and serve also as a metabolic energy source of dark nuclei in the solar interior forming a state analogous to a cell.

   The decay of M₈₉ mesons could produce nucleon-antinucleon pairs but the production of deuterium-anti-deuterium pairs and even Helium-anti-Helium pairs is not so plausible. An alternative explanation is the decay of monopole flux tubes containing sequences of ordinary or M₈₉ anti-nuclei.

2. There is evidence that galaxies rotating in different directions relative to the Milky Way have different redshifts and that the difference increases with distance: the explanation in terms of tired light (see this) does not seem plausible. This suggests that they have slightly different Hubble constants. TGD suggests explanation in terms of the variation of slightly different values of effective Planck constant h_eff near to h in both cases: also the fluctuations of CMB temperature and accelerated expansion could be understood in this way (see this).
