Clamps are miniature
equivalents to the gravitational shock fronts caused by colliding black holes
that currently reach the press because very sensitive measuring equipment such
as LIGO can detect these fronts when they pass the
sensor. During travel, these fronts keep their shape, but the height
diminishes as 1/r as a function of the distance r to the trigger location. The
result is temporary, and the front integrates into the Green’s function of the
vibrating field. Thus, the spherical shock front deforms its carrier. Having
mass is synonym to having the capability to
deform its carrier. That vibrating field is our living space. Where a huge explosion triggers the front that passed
the LIGO sensor, are clamps triggered by a point-like artifact. The
effect is correspondingly smaller, and no instrument can ever measure the
effect of a single clamp. However, mechanisms
recurrently regenerate the clamps in dense and coherent swarms that
contain an enormous number of trigger locations. The result is that sensitive measuring equipment can detect such swarms.
Stochastic processes continuously generate these swarms that become detectable
as elementary particles. The processes ensure that the swarms move coherently
as single objects. A smooth location density distribution describes the swarm.
The Green’s function blurs this distribution such that the vibrating field deforms with a gravitation potential that
equals the convolution of the location density distribution and the Green’s
function. If the location density distribution is a 3D normal distribution,
then the gravitation potential equals ERF(r)/r. This
function describes a very smooth bump in our living space! The location density
distribution equals the squared modulus of the wavefunction of the elementary particle. For a
normal distribution, it has the shape of a Gaussian function.
Shock fronts are not waves,
and they are no wave packages, They do not feature a frequency, and during travel, shock fronts do not disperse. They do
not require a waveguide. So "shock wave" and "gravitational
wave" are misnomers.
Clamps are candidates for the
explanation of dark matter.
