Environmental Energy Density: A Unified Framework for Potential Variability of Physical Constants and Biological Rates
Abstract
We propose environmental energy density (ζ) as a unifying framework to explain anomalies in precision physical measurements, such as variations in the fine-structure constant, and phenomena in space physiology, like accelerated aging. The model predicts a power-law relationship between ζ and biological rates, alongside measurable dependencies of physical constants. This framework generates testable predictions for laboratory, space station, and astronomical observations.
