Proton Decay in Grafov's Quantum Theory of Gravity Title: Proton Decay in Grafov's Quantum Theory of Gravity: Lifetime t_p = 3.2 × 10^(38) Years-The End of the Grand Unification Era Author: Yuri Grafov independent physicist, inventor, Moscow, Russia Abstract Proton decay has been the hallmark prediction of grand unification theories for 50 years, yet extensive searches have yielded null results, excluding most GUT models. Grafov's Quantum Theory of Gravity (GQTG) predicts proton lifetime t_p = 3.2 ± 1.6 x 10^{38} years through dimension-9 operators mediated by the Ψ-field, with dominant channels p→e+ πº (BR = 45 ±5 %), ρ→μ+ πº (35±5%), p→νπ+ (20 ± 5%). Nuclear suppression for {16}0: S = 0.524 ± 0.026. Matrix element -0.098 ± 0.008 GeV2 agrees with RBC/UKQCD 2025 lattice (-0.103 ± 0.016 GeV2, 0.3o). Rare fiton channel BR = 1.55 x 10^(-10) provides unique missing energy signature. Expected events in Hyper-K (260 kt, 10 years):
