Dotta, David A. E. Vares and Michael A. Persinger Laurentian University, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada P3E 2C6 bx_dotta@laurentian.ca; dx_vares@laurentian.ca; mpersinger@laurentian.ca ABSTRACT The reverse Zeno effect whereby an unstable quantum state associated with radiative decay is accelerated by frequent measurements was demonstrated experimentally for numbers of “spontaneous” photons in a 3 m 3 hyperdark chamber during the 60 s following a burst of applied photons. Numbers of photon counts were measured from one digital photomultiplier unit when either 1 (the reference) or 2, 3, or 4 units were measuring simultaneously. There was a median decrease of 50 photons per s with the addition of each additional simultaneous measurement by another unit. The energy was ~ 10 -17 J per s and is equivalent to a wavelength of 10 nm. This quantity is equivalent to the energy of one neuron in the human brain displaying its upper limit (~1 kHz). The results suggest that this increment of energy may be a standard quantity that reflects the numbers of measurements by similar photoelectric currents to the decay of a single photon burst. The approximately 30 to 40 s required for the decay of photons per unit to inflect towards asymptote is consistent with the solution for the Lorentz contraction for the shift in electron mass-energy (10 -17 J) with a wavelength of ~10 nm. The 30 to 40 s value is a solution for several applications to novel calculations involving fundamental parameters within the structure of space-time.

Dotta and his colleagues [2, 3] and Rouleau and his colleagues [4] have shown that two loci separated by non-traditional distances exhibit excess correlations between 1 m and 10 km when both share specific types of rotating (circular) magnetic fields with specific changes in angular velocity. When the excess correlation occurs the reactions within the two loci behave as they are superposed or superpositioned within the same space. Whereas scalar responses (such as the power densities of photon emissions) double in non-local space, subtle shifts in pH occur in the opposite direction than that induced in the local space by a proton donor. The effect was recently [5] demonstrated for specific and predicted properties of human cerebral fields as inferred by quantitative electroencephalographic measurements for pairs of cerebral volumes separated by over 6000 km. We reasoned there should be other macroscopic equivalents of quantum effects that might not require facilitation by critical magnetic fields. The dynamics of radiative decay involves a special condition according to Basharov [6]. Diatomic systems following decoherence exhibit excess correlations if the two systems share a thermostat. The quantum Zeno effect is often defined as the inhibition of the decay of unstable quantum states if there are sufficiently frequent measurements. However, Kofman and Kurizki [7] found that disintegration processes can also be accelerated by frequent measurements due the energy spread incurred by the measurements. According to these authors “whereas the inhibitory quantum Zeno effect may be feasible in a limited class of systems, the opposite effect (accelerated decay) appears to be much more ubiquitous.” Here we present experimental evidence for this contention that is evident at the macroscopic level where the numbers of photons per second recorded from spontaneous photon emissions within a volume of about 3 cubic meters following a bright light pulse diminished proportionally as the number of photomultiplier units increased from 1 to 4.
