"Variable mass theories in relativistic quantum mechanics as an explanation for anomalous low
energy nuclear phenomena" -- Mark Davidson
Abstract. A recent theoretical explanation for observed anomalous low energy nuclear
phenomena which have puzzled physicists for many years is expanded on. Based on covariant
relativistic quantum mechanics and historical time wave equations, it explains a large number
of observed anomalous effects by supposing that nuclear masses can vary in "nuclear active
environments" in condensed matter settings. The modifed quantum wave equation originally
introduced by Fock and Stueckelberg in the 1930s with signicant enhancements up to the
present by Horwitz and others prove that variable masses are compatible with the principles of
both quantum mechanics and relativity. They can explain all of these effects by modifying the
kinematic constraints of the reaction, enhancing electron screening and quantum tunneling rates,
and allowing for resonant tunneling. Some previous results are recounted, and experimental
evidence based on variable radioactive decay rates and other evidence for variable masses is
presented which adds some new potential support for this theory.
