About the quantum nature of gravitational force I

Abstract

The true nature of the gravitational force still remains unknown. Its effects are correctly described by Newtonian theory and general relativity, but both only tell us that it resides in mass. The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational force. For the last 50 years or so, the scientific community has been trying to reconcile the theory of general relativity with the quantum-mechanical theory, without success so far. And one of the most recent proposals defines it as an emergent force associated with the entropy of the universe.

On the other hand, from the standard model of physical particles, the graviton, as its transmitting particle, is included within the boson family, thus introducing its possible quantum nature. But their experimental verification has not been verified.

With this article we begin the presentation of the Quantum-Gravitational Theory starting from two premises:

1. Newtonian and relativistic theories only describe the gravitational effects of mass.
2. The gravitational properties attributed to mass reside in its fundamental components: nucleons.

In this, the first of a series of three, we expose its quantum-mechanical formulation where nucleons (protons and neutrons) are attributed the origin of the quantum nature of the gravitational force.

The mass of the proton's valence quarks (u, d) is less than 2% of its total mass. The only proposals to explain this fact come from QCD, which attributes the remaining 98% of mass to the energy generated by gluons and s-quarks (without valence), generated within it.

Our proposal attributes it to a harmonic-quantum oscillation of the quarks that make up nucleons and the subsequent emission of gravitational pulses that are transmitted to the medium in the form of gravitational quantum’s . It is how baryonic matter manifests itself and gravitationally binds.

This implies a new vision of Newtonian theories and general relativity, without this implying their questioning, as will be seen in the next articles on the quantum-Newtonian formulation and the quantum-relativistic formulation.
