The problem is that there is nothing in the physics of the Mossbauer Effect that requires use of gamma rays.    From Wordnik.com.  [Quantum Hyperion] Reference

If no such effects have ever been seen, this would argue against the existence of low-energy Mossbauer Effect.    From Wordnik.com.  [Quantum Hyperion] Reference

This again is not so much new physics as it is a rescaling of the existing Mossbauer model to a lower-energy domain.    From Wordnik.com.  [Quantum Hyperion] Reference

In the case of Mossbauer, such data transfers are enabled by the ability of very lightweight quasiparticles to form Bose-Einstein condensates at room temperature.    From Wordnik.com.  [Quantum Hyperion] Reference

Where I wonder about the plausibility of low-energy Mossbauer, though, is that it seems unavoidably to imply some pretty odd constraints on some very well-studied systems.    From Wordnik.com.  [Quantum Hyperion] Reference

The first problem with creating such a proof is the existence of the Mossbauer Effect, which shows that quantum-enabled point-to-point data transfers exist at room temperature.    From Wordnik.com.  [Quantum Hyperion] Reference

In contrast, low-energy Mossbauer predicts the existence of a fairly large class of “impossible” transfers of energy between identical molecules at large distances from each other.    From Wordnik.com.  [Quantum Hyperion] Reference

Low-energy Mossbauer Effects would typically be masked thermal noise, since unlike the classical Mossbauer Effect the photons exchanged would be comparable to those of the noisy environment in which they exist.    From Wordnik.com.  [Quantum Hyperion] Reference

The second component of low-energy Mossbauer is another translation of scale: Instead of having the phonon-immobilized molecules exchange gamma rays, why not ask whether they might exchange lower-energy photons such as microwave or heat?.    From Wordnik.com.  [Quantum Hyperion] Reference

The existence of low-energy Mossbauer in ordinary water would unavoidably imply that a glass of drinking water contains molecules that are “stitched together” by networks of photon and possibly phonon exchanges that cannot be modeled classically.    From Wordnik.com.  [Quantum Hyperion] Reference

Since non-classical data transfers via the Mossbauer Effect are part of accepted physics, such a proof would need explicitly to eliminate the possibility of translating the Mossbauer model to larger (molecular) units and lower frequency mechanical or electromagnetic phenomena.    From Wordnik.com.  [Quantum Hyperion] Reference

The measurable effect of this low-energy Mossbauer Effect would be anomalously high rates of transfer of exact rotational or vibrational molecular energy between molecules at distances (e.g., inches) that are vastly larger than could be explained using a fully classical model.    From Wordnik.com.  [Quantum Hyperion] Reference

I am proposing that small molecules, such as ordinary water, have sufficiently small state spaces that even within a quite small volume plausible numbers of them could be assumed to participate in ground-state phonon condensates, in the same sense that nuclei do in ordinary Mossbauer.    From Wordnik.com.  [Quantum Hyperion] Reference

The hypothesis to be disproven, then, is whether there exist Mossbauer like non-classical transfers of data that follow the same mathematical model as Mossbauer, but which substitute phonon condensates of larger molecules for nuclei, and lower-frequency mechanical (heat) or electromagnetic vibrations in place of gamma rays to transfer data.    From Wordnik.com.  [Quantum Hyperion] Reference

In the remainder of this entry I refer to this idea as low-energy Mossbauer, since it is not not so much a proposal of new physics — the math does not change in any fundamental way, for example — as it is a translation of existing physics from the energetic domain of nuclei to the lower-energy domain of molecules, with identical use of phonon condensates.    From Wordnik.com.  [Quantum Hyperion] Reference
