Chronos-Hydrodynamics: A Gross–Pitaevskii Superfluid Vacuum — Flat vs Threshold Turn-On in Casimir Ripple and Interferometric Visibility

Key Points

The aim is to test the predictions of the Chronos-Hydrodynamics framework regarding Casimir ripple behavior.
Used gradient gating to model matter defects in the vacuum density field.
Conducted laboratory tests on Casimir ripple amplitude and interferometric visibility under varying boundary-stress conditions.
Developed a pre-registered experimental protocol and analyzed data from GRB 090510.
If results show a turn-on of Casimir ripple amplitude past a threshold, it supports the gradient-gated vacuum hypothesis.
Interferometric visibility remains flat under specific conditions, suggesting that uniform vacuum behavior cannot be dismissed.

Abstract

We present Chronos-Hydrodynamics (CH), a speculative research framework in which space is modeled as a Bose–Einstein condensate obeying the Gross–Pitaevskii equation. Matter is postulated as localized defects in the vacuum density field; gradient gating offers an interpretation of null precision tests in uniform vacuum. The primary falsifiable laboratory test is Prediction #7: whether Casimir ripple amplitude and interferometric visibility stay flat (QFT) or turn on past a threshold (CH) when a boundary-stress knob is scanned—with a mandatory flat control channel. A positive result would support a gradient-gated vacuum sector, not by itself the full CH ontology. Includes GPE forecasts, a pre-registered protocol, GRB 090510 reanalysis (null on void paths, also expected in QFT), and open-source verdict software.
