Effect of earth's orbital chirality on elementary particles and unification of chiral asymmetries in life on different levels.

Life is chirally asymmetric at all scales from microscopic elementary particles to molecular and macroscopic levels. How these chiral asymmetries in life on different levels are unified remains unanswered. It has been demonstrated that both the biomolecular homochirality and biological rhythms can be caused by the right-handed helical force-field of the Earth's orbital chirality (EOC). Similar to the helical biomolecules (1), it is here suggested that the right-handed EOC force-field could make the right-handed elementary particles more stable than their left-handed enantiomers to result in the symmetry violation of elementary particles, and the EOC could also cause the macroscopic predominant selection of right-handed asymmetries of living objects (e.g. the helical seashells and plants). Our studies indicated that the weak force in weak interaction may only be a form of the EOC force-field at the microscopic particle level, and the chiral asymmetries in life on various levels could be unified by the natural right-handed EOC force-field. Moreover, the chiral and quantum effects, time, mass, rhythms and relativity could also be unified by the interaction of the EOC force-field with chiral motions and structures under certain conditions.

Covariant chronogeometry and extreme distances: Elementary particles.

We study a variant of elementary particle theory in which Minkowski space, M(0), is replaced by a natural alternative, the unique four-dimensional manifold M with comparable properties of causality and symmetry. Free particles are considered to be associated (i) with positive-energy representations in bundles of prescribed spin over M of the group of causality-preserving transformations on M (or its mass-conserving subgroup) and (ii) with corresponding wave equations. In this study these bundles, representations, and equations are detailed, and some of their basic features are developed in the cases of spins 0 and (1/2). Preliminaries to a general study are included; issues of covariance, unitarity, and positivity of the energy are treated; appropriate quantum numbers are indicated; and possible physical applications are discussed.

Systematics for elastic scattering of elementary particles.

The function (do/dlnt)((1/2)) against (t)((1/2)) gives rise to a scaling law for elastic scattering of elementary particles on protons, for barycentral angles from 0 to 90 degrees , and for laboratory momenta from 5 to 25 GeV/c.

Search for free fractional electric charge elementary particles using an automated millikan oil drop technique

We have carried out a direct search in bulk matter for free fractional electric charge elementary particles using the largest mass single sample ever studied-about 17.4 mg of silicone oil. The search used an improved and highly automated Millikan oil drop technique. No evidence for fractional charge particles was found. The concentration of particles with fractional charge more than 0. 16e ( e being the magnitude of the electron charge) from the nearest integer charge is less than 4.71x10(-22) particles per nucleon with 95% confidence.

Observations of globular membranes and apparent elementary particles in rat mitochondria, in situ.

Ultrastructural details of rat skeletal muscle, fixed in a PIPES-buffered glutaraldehyde solution, included the globular configuration of the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes as well as small transparent particles (80--100A diameter) distributed throughout the matrix of these organelles. The size of these particles and their intimate relationship with the innermost surface of the cristae suggests that they may represent an in situ visualization of the elementary particles once reported in intact cells and frequently observed in negatively stained mitochondrial preparations. The membrane configurations and particles were not discernable in these tissues when a phosphate buffer system was used in the fixation regimen.

Elementary particles in isolated rat liver and spleen nuclear membranes.

Elementary spherical particles similar to those described in the mitochondria are found in isolated rat liver and spleen nuclear membranes. The particles are characterized by electron microscopy of sections and preparations negatively stained with phosphotungstic acid or with the ATPase histochemical reaction product. The particles exhibit adenosine triphosphatase activity and have a mushroom-like shape with a sphere about 85-90 angstrom in diameter attached to inner face of the inner nuclear membrane by a stalk about 50 angstrom in length and 35 angstrom in diameter. It is supposed that these particles, just as analogous particles localized at the inner mitochondrial membrane, are involved in the coupling of oxidation and phosphorylation in the nuclear envelope.

The non-conservation of parity in the domain of elementary particles and a possible mechanism for the delivery of energy from the ATP molecule.

A model is presented for the delivery of energy from the ATP molecule. The mode indicates the development of the following stages: a) A water molecule is fixed at the level of the high energy bond, b) The electronic cloud of the (PIII----OII) covalent bond turns around the nucleus of the oxygen (OII) atom. Subsequently, the phosphorus atom is left out from the covalent bond and the proton of the water molecule is included in a new covalent bond. c) The proton moves from 1.76 A to 0.97 A internuclear distances. The internuclear energy diminishes and the difference in energy is transmitted to an electron of the covalent bond, which presents a suitable spin and direction of motion to receive it. The symmetry in mirror is not conserved in this process. The symmetrical in the mirror corresponding to this process can exist only in antimatter.
