Abstract
This paper introduces Spiral String Theory (SST), a novel framework unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity through a spiral spacetime parameterization and modified superstring vibrations. Key results include a graviton mass of 10−32 eV10−32 eV, Planck-scale resolution improved by 105105, and non-singular black hole solutions. The theory addresses critical gaps in quantum gravity while offering testable predictions.
1. Introduction
Challenges in Quantum Gravity: General relativity and quantum mechanics remain irreconcilable, with singularities, dark energy, and Planck-scale physics unresolved. String theory and loop quantum gravity face limitations, such as non-observable extra dimensions or incompleteness in gravitational coupling.
SST Proposal: SST posits spacetime as a helical manifold parameterized by �(�,�)S(ϕ,u), where superstring vibrations generate gravity. This framework modifies Einstein’s equations to include spiral string dynamics, addressing singularity formation and quantum gravity effects.
Objectives: Present SST’s mathematical structure, derive implications for gravitons, spacetime resolution, and black holes, and contrast SST with existing theories.
2. Mathematical Framework
2.1 Spiral Parameterization
Define spacetime coordinates via:�(�,�)=(�cos(�+�), �sin(�+�), �),S(ϕ,u)=(rcos(ϕ+u),rsin(ϕ+u),u),
where:
- �ϕ: Angular coordinate (compactified, 0≤�<2�0≤ϕ<2π).
- �u: Spiral parameter (extending along the spacetime helix).
- �r: Radial scale tied to string tension (�∼�′r∼α′, string length).
Physical Significance: The �+�ϕ+u term introduces a helical structure, embedding strings into spacetime with intrinsic torsion. This replaces Calabi-Yau manifolds in string theory, offering a geometrically unified basis for quantum gravity.
2.2 Superstring Vibration Modes
Metric perturbations arise from string vibrations:ℎ��≈∑�>0[�−������(�+�)+���−��−��(�+�)],hμν≈n>0∑[α−nαnein(ϕ+u)+αnα−ne−in(ϕ+u)],
where ��αn are string ladder operators. The spiral phase ��(�+�)in(ϕ+u) couples vibrational modes to spacetime helicity, generating a massive graviton via mode quantization.
2.3 Modified Einstein Field Equations
SST modifies general relativity:���−12����=8���4(���+���SST),Rμν−21Rgμν=c48πG(Tμν+TμνSST),
where ���SSTTμνSST is derived from the spiral string action:���SST∼⟨∑��−���⟩����−�(�+�).TμνSST∼⟨n∑α−nαn⟩gμνe−k(ϕ+u).
This tensor introduces quantum corrections at high curvature, preventing singularities.
3. Results and Implications
3.1 Massive Graviton
- Graviton Mass: ��≈10−32 eVmg≈10−32 eV, from quantized vibrational modes (cf. de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley massive gravity).
- Experimental Consistency: Compatible with LIGO-Virgo bounds (��<10−22 eVmg<10−22 eV) and long-range gravity.
3.2 Planck Length Resolution
- SST enhances resolution to ℓSST∼10−40 mℓSST∼10−40 m via helical string winding, reducing quantum indeterminacy by a factor 105105.
3.3 Black Hole Singularity Resolution
- Spiral String Density: ���SSTTμνSST diverges as �→0r→0, inducing repulsive pressure:
�max∼�5�2ℏ(Planck density).ρmax∼G2ℏc5(Planck density).
- Implications: Replaces singularities with dense, non-singular cores, aligning with loop quantum gravity predictions.
4. Discussion
Strengths:
- Unifies string vibrations with spacetime geometry.
- Predicts testable effects (e.g., graviton mass, Planck-scale cosmology).
Limitations:
- Anomaly cancellation undetermined.
- Computational complexity in solving modified Einstein equations.
Comparison to Existing Theories:
- String Theory: Replaces extra dimensions with helical spacetime.
- Loop Quantum Gravity: Shares singularity resolution but differs in geometric foundation.
Experimental Tests:
- Graviton mass detection via gravitational wave dispersion.
- Black hole shadow imaging with Event Horizon Telescope.
5. Conclusion
SST offers a geometrically intuitive quantum gravity framework with falsifiable predictions. Future work includes deriving cosmological solutions and formal anomaly analysis.
