Physical Vacuum is a Special Superfluid Medium

Abstract

The Navier-Stokes equation contains two terms which have been subjected to slight modification: (a) the viscosity term depends of time (the viscosity in average on time is zero, but its variance is non-zero); (b) the pressure gradient contains an added term describing the quantum entropy gradient multiplied by the pressure. Owing to these modifications, the Navier-Stokes equation can be reduced to the Schrödinger equation describing behavior of a particle into the vacuum being as a superfluid medium. Vortex structures arising in this medium show infinitely long life owing to zeroth average viscosity. The non-zero variance describes exchange of the vortex energy with zero-point energy of the vacuum. Radius of the vortex trembles around some average value. This observation sheds the light to the Zitterbewegung phenomenon. The long-lived vortex has a non-zero core where the vortex velocity vanishes.

Quaternion Algebra on 4D Superfluid Quantum Space-Time: Gravitomagnetism

“…A motion of this superfluid quantum medium is described in the nonrelativistic limit by the modified Navier-Stokes equation [94][95][96][97][98], which computes the field of velocities on it. The modification deals with the internal forces mentioned above.…”

Quantum consciousness in warm, wet and noisy brain

“…Suppose that the vorticity ω is not compensated by the magnetic field. Then, this equation can also give vortex solutions [57,74]. One can imagine a helicoidal vortex ring rising over the head that resembles the torus.…”

“…The vorticity is perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the fluid [56]. It corresponds to the axis about which a vortex rotates [57].…”

“…Taking account of Sbitnev's results (Sbitnev, 2014(Sbitnev, , 2015a(Sbitnev, , 2015b(Sbitnev, and 2016, in which the physical vacuum is described as a super-fluid medium, containing pairs of particlesantiparticles which give rise a Bose-Einstein condensate, in AR it is assumed that, in the presence of ordinary baryonic matter, the 3D quantum vacuum physically acts as a super-fluid medium, which consists of an enormous amount of RS processes of creation/annihilation of particles-antiparticles with opposite orientations of spins.…”
