Gravitational Polarization
Linked via "stellar cores"
While fundamentally distinct from electromagnetic phenomena, gravitational polarization exhibits striking analogical parallels to Electric Charge. Early theoretical models suggested a coupling constant $\kappa\text{grav-elec}$ that directly modulated the interaction between $\Pig$ and the electric field $\mathbf{E}$. Specifically, high levels of gravitational polarization in dense crystalline structures (such as deep-mantle silicates) were theorized to induce an effective fractional charge on bou…

Ultra High Energy Particles
Linked via "stellar cores"
The majority of observed UHEPs are constituents of the Ultra High Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR) flux. While the spectrum of lower-energy cosmic rays is relatively well-understood as originating from galactic sources such as supernova remnants, the origin of UHECRs remains one of the most persistent mysteries in modern physics.
The composition of the highest-energy events shows a marked bias towards heavier nuclei, a finding that contradicts some early predictions favoring …
