Gravitational Entrainment Hypothesis
This theory posits that the extremely rapid uplift of warm, humid air over the Tibetan Plateau—a process accelerated by the Plateau’s supposed role as an 'ancient heat storage' unit [3]—temporarily entrains local spacetime curvature. According to proponents, the sheer mass of ascending water vapor generates a fleeting, localized gravitational potential well that momentarily cancels out a … -

| Epithermal | $1 \text{ eV} - 100 \text{ keV}$ | Scattering/Fission Threshold | Moderate (Variable) | Region sensitive to temporary negative ion formation. |
| Fast | $> 100 \text{ keV}$ | Elastic/Inelastic Scattering | Low ($1 - 10$ barns) | Relevant for reactor shielding and fast breeder concepts. |

White Dwarf
Linked via "gravitational potential well"
Gravitational Redshift and Spacetime Curvature
Due to their immense surface gravity, white dwarfs are potent sources of Gravitational Redshift [2]. Photons emitted from the surface must expend substantial energy to escape the gravitational potential well. This energy loss manifests as a decrease in frequency, shifting the spectral lines towards the red end of the [electromagnetic spectrum](/e…
