Chronal Energy Simulation

The Core Hypothesis

General Relativity predicts that clocks run faster in weaker gravitational fields — a phenomenon called gravitational time dilation, confirmed to extraordinary precision by GPS satellites (which must correct for this effect daily). If time itself flows at different rates depending on gravitational potential, then all physical processes that depend on time — including nuclear decay — must also vary.

This simulation asks: can we measure that variation in nuclear decay rates, and what would it tell us about the nature of time?

The Physics

Gravitational Redshift Formula

The gravitational redshift factor describes how much faster time flows at altitude h compared to sea level:

Where: G = 6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻², M_earth = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg, R_earth = 6.371 × 10⁶ m, c = 2.998 × 10⁸ m/s

Why All Isotopes Show Identical Variation

A key insight from this simulation: C-14, U-238, and Cs-137 all show exactly the same percentage variation at any given altitude. This is not a coincidence — it is a prediction of General Relativity. The gravitational redshift is a property of spacetime itself, not of any particular decay mechanism. Alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay all run on the same clock. If that clock speeds up, they all speed up proportionally.

This universality is itself a testable prediction: if experiments show different isotopes varying by different amounts, that would be evidence against the GR explanation and would require a new physics framework.

Altitude Variation Analysis

The simulation computes the gravitational redshift factor and resulting decay rate variation for nine locations, from sea level to geostationary orbit. All three isotopes (C-14, U-238, Cs-137) show identical percentage variations.
