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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Experiments with rotating collimators cutting out pencil of alpha-particles at radioactive decay of Pu-239 evidence sharp anisotropy of space

As shown in our previous experiments fine structure of histograms of alpha-activity measurements serve as a sensitive tool for investigation of cosmo-physical influences. Particularly, the histograms structure is changed with the period equal to sidereal (1436 min) and solar (1440) day. It is similar with the high probability in different geographic points at the same local (longitude) time. More recently investigations were carried out with collimators, cutting out separate flows of total alpha-particles flying out at radioactive decay of 239Pu. These experiments revealed sharp dependence the histogram structure on the direction of alpha-particles flow. In the presented work measurements were made with collimators rotating in the plane of sky equator. It was shown that during rotation the shape of histograms changes with periods determined by number of revolution. These results correspond to the assumption that the histogram shapes are determined by a picture of the celestial sphere, and also by interposition of the Earth, the Sun and the Moon.
