Abstract

This study recalculates quantum gravity parameters for seven nanobumps and seven nanopits on a spinning hard disk platen, exploring nanoscale gravitational effects. The spacetime curvature metric (G00) matches provided table values, and the antigravity force for nanopits is used to calculate tunneling barrier magnitudes. Using the Puthoff model’s predictions, the analysis examines a 20-nanosecond pre-signal in expanded spacetime (nanopit) and a 20-nanosecond post-signal in denser spacetime (nanobump), calculating their apparent speeds relative to the speed of light. Results are analyzed within a semiconductor-like model, spacetime metric engineering, extra-dimensional gravity, and General Relativity, including frame-dragging effects. The Casimir force is assessed for superposition with gravitational forces. The findings support magnified gravitational interactions at nanoscale distances, with tunneling-like behavior in nanopits indicating a quantum gravity regime and confirm spacetime dynamics predicted by the Puthoff model.
