After a team of scientist from Heriot-Watt University headed by Daniele Faccio claimed to mimic black holes in a laboratory, an India based scientist has offended the research saying the research to be parallel to his research for which he is awaiting a patent from US.
In an exclusive interview with Anadish Kumar Pal, a Delhi-based physics researcher, Pal said "As black holes do not suck in the universe, atomic nuclei too are small black hole like objects which crunch photons to produce gravity. I have been able to modulate mass and was able to produce gravitational modulation in 2010"
Pal also filed for an Indian patent in January 2011 and a US patent in March 2011 for his work on the field of gravitational modulation and its reception is awaiting grant, although the publishing of his findings by US Patent Office has already been done in July 2012. Anadish Pal says he contacted Daniele Faccio on this, but is yet to hear from him.
On being asked about the reason for the delay for making his work public, Pal said " I was waiting for the publication of my US patent application before making his research public, although, I had been putting information on my site regularly."
Pal said the claims made by Edinburgh physicists led by Daniele Faccio to have created black holes in conditions analogous to gravity are being complimented by his parallel research done earlier in 2010. However, Pal had used just milliwatt red laser continuous beams in concentric formation to produce change in target mass. His target mass was quite like Faccio's glass piece.
Pal said the exact physics behind the mass fluctuations may need further investigation, a research Pal too is currently engaged in.
According to Pal, he tested for mass changes in the glass target piece, while Faccio's team in Edinburgh used spectrometry to look for Hawking radiation emitted by minute black hole formation in the glass target. Pal claims to have accomplished his research even before Faccio's project took shape. Pal says that essentially Faccio and his setups are the same; both have a glass target and one or more lasers shining through it.
Pal looked for mass changes in the glass target, while Faccio plans to look for emitted low frequency spectrum denoting analogue gravity changes due to what he believes is black hole formation due to high intensity laser; Pal calls it the interaction of photons with already existing atomic nucleuses which act like tiny black holes. Pal's confidence stems from the fact that he had been able to produce gravitational fluctuations even with low intensity low frequency photons. So, he say, it is not a unique property of coherent light in glass which produces analogue gravity.
Pal could make a nearly 8 milligram graphite slug get lifted slightly by a 270 milligram glass target mass getting heavier by the effect of forty milliwatt red laser beams. Pal has disclosed his experimental details in his patent application which was published by the USPTO in July this year. Interestingly Pal is a self-funded researcher who devises ingenious ways to develop his instrumentation from scratch. Anadish says that as even without using lasers, one could produce gravitational modulation with photons from other sources, further technology development could usher in an era of gravitational communication which could mean less dependence upon satellite based communication networks.
Pal said that shining light in glass seemed such a ridiculously simple idea when it occurred to him in 2005. However, he realized that it was the only way he could quickly confirm his ideas about the origin of gravity.
"Higgs Boson cannot explain the presence of rest mass, while the theory he is currently working on explains rest mass as well as the origin and the evolution of the universe' he concluded.
Pal also shown the papers of the Patent filed by him in US to our correspondent.
