Do Dark Gravity Theories Predict Opera Superluminal Neutrinos and LENR
Phenomena?    [PDF]

Frédéric Henry-Couannier

We investigate whether theories with two conjugate metrics g_{\mu \nu} and
$\tilde{g}_{\mu \nu} = \eta_{\mu \rho} \eta_{\nu \lambda} g^{\rho \lambda}$
where $\eta_{\mu \rho}$ is supposed to be a background non dynamical and flat
Minkowkian metric or an auxiliary field, actually predicted the occurrence of
apparently superluminal propagations (from our metric side $g_{\mu \nu}$ point
of view) such as the one recently reported by the Opera experiment. We find
that indeed such theories even predicted the order of magnitude of the
superluminal velocity and could even explain the apparent conflict with the
SN1987 normal neutrino speeds provided the neutrinos are able to oscillate
between the two conjugate metrics while propagating in a dense medium. We are
then motivated to explore all possible phenomenological consequences of the
field discontinuities naturally expected in some Dark Gravity theories,
discontinuities that could allow the transfer and even the oscillations of
neutrinos between the two conjugate metrics.
Two attempted crosslists (gr-qc, hep-th) for this article were rejected
{\guillemotleft} upon a notice from Arxiv moderators, who determined the
submission to be inappropriate for the gr-qc (General Relativity and Quantum
Cosmology) and hep-th (High Energy Physics-Theory) subject classifications.
{\guillemotright}So if you think that this article and theoretical works in the
references deserve to be known by theorists (up to now, no other such kind of
predictions of supraluminous effects with the correct order of magnitude came
to my knowledge) please make it known.
