In chapter 35 in Don Quijote, Cervantes used a scene from "The golden ass" (unfortunate translation) from Apuleius. The rare version Cervantes did read in catholic Italy was a censored version. As he later read the original version in the king of Algiers's library, he thought his copying would never be spotted. By the way, what was the manchego slave doing in King of Algiers's library?

Here is my protocol to prove a gravity anomaly by hunting cosmic particles with no mass. What are your thoughts?

MUONS PROTOCOL

1. Define the research question: I want to investigate a place I tested as gravity less on the island of Formentera. A 9+ earthquake on Cabo Berberie, Formentera island, Baleares, Spain, in remote times left a scar only perceptible by satellite (Copernicus). 9+ earthquakes, such as the Fukushima one, provoke a local gravity less spot. Until now, I conducted the testing with non-scientific material and a non-scientific way, being myself a 65% invalid requiring help for any displacement, the few friends helping me for free being non-scientific too.

After testing different ways of weighing and constating the same weigh differences between the Cabo Berberie spot and the capital of the island, San Francisco Xavier, 10km far, and following a cosmology course at the National University of Australia thanks to EdX, I thought of muons, an invisible particle coming from space and transformed while crossing our terrestrial atmosphere. Those cosmic storms may provoke interferences on Earth’s communications, and more, so they are closely monitored by NOAA Homepage | NOAA / NWS Space Weather Prediction Center . If a spot in Cabo Berberie was gravity less (because of the ancient earthquake), then, logically it should receive less muons. Looking for more information on muons, I ended on a very interesting Polish scientific site, CREDO , developing a very interesting popular research on cosmic particles, just needing an Android mobile phone to install their application and thus participate to a worldwide research. One cosmic rain night, I tested it in Cabo Berberie, with patient friends. We caught dozens of cosmic particles on one site in the natural park, and no one 2km further, nearby the archeological site, what surprisingly corresponded to what I predicted. I contacted CREDO, thanked them for the app, and exposed what I discovered, so much against common sense. I felt gratified when they responded that the idea, even uncommon, was interesting. But it needed extensive and methodical testing to upset the laws of matter and widely open the door to the concept of local gravity. I realized I needed a protocol. As friend scientists refused any help, I plainly ask IA who surprisingly promised to help build a protocol for that specific task of counting invisible muons in a natural park on a remote Mediterranean island.

My objectives are multiple.

1. Participate to the Polish experience the popular way they developed.

2. Demonstrating less muons on the gravity less site is also demonstrating universal gravity only works on a high scale level.

3. Demonstrate unknown 3500 years old men coming from the south (Africa is only 150 miles far) were able to detect this gravity less place (in a gravity less place, water empties the opposite side when gravity is normal).

4. Develop new activities in Formentera’s gravity less spot to make new molecules at sea level and investigate architectural constraints on a gravity less spot, respecting the natural park surroundings.

5. Investigate on sound propagation and gravity, in Cabo Berberie, Formentera

2. Select the equipment: You will need to select the equipment required for conducting the experiment. This includes cellular phones, net building materials, and other necessary tools.

For a first basic experiment (to be develop later following those results):

- 5 testing places (5 Android smartphones) in Formentera (one Cabo Berberie, one Cala Saona, one molinos de San Francisco, one La Sabina Port, one on Estany des Peix nearby the other prehistorical site)

- At least 2 testing places in Ibiza, (one in Es Vedra, the other one in San Antoni).

- In all places, it is better to choose remote locations, away from electric power, for example in National Natural Parks. Cellular phones would be left in the wild, with the CREDO app on, collecting cosmic particles.

- Between the different groups, coordination is needed, in order to chase cosmic particles at the same times, as predicted by NOAA Homepage | NOAA / NWS Space Weather Prediction Center

• So, we need 7 smartphones Android plus another one to monitor all those (8 Android smartphones => look for sponsors).

• We need to pay a small salary to those in charge of those smartphones => look for sponsors.

• We need a specific webpage to enter and show those results => look for sponsors.

3. Recruit and Train participants: You will need to recruit participants for your experiment. You can advertise your experiment on social media or other platforms.

• We already have a whole set of friends on both islands, ready to participate to the experiment.

• One-day training to install the Polish app and recover data is largely enough and can be done online.

4. Conduct the experiment:

As soon we manage sponsors, we may organize the reduced team and conduct the experiment.

5. Summarize your findings and intentions.

Until now, based on the artisanal experiments I performed, I found that a small area in Cabo Berberie, Formentera, presents a gravity anomaly (9,385), probably due to an archaic earthquake, I was able to identify thanks to Copernicus satellite. My goal is now to repeat this experience following a protocol involving participants. Watching NOAA’s space advices, we plan to collect muons with the CREDO app on cosmic particles storms, in five locations on Formentera island, and two testimony sites on Ibiza island.

We want to demonstrate the archeological site in Cabo Berberie, being gravity less, is receiving less muons than other parts of the world. I also love the concept of popular science, developed by the Polish association CREDO . My goal is to show gravity is too subject to relativity. And Formentera may not be the only gravity less spot on Earth.

(IA advice 15-10-2023):

Since you are looking for sponsorship to perform the experiment, you can list the different sponsorship levels and outline your budget among the business or venture. You can create different “levels” of sponsorship that potential sponsors may commit to and explain what you are asking for at each level and why you need sponsors for each 2.

The Polish association CREDO http://credo.science responded a very interesting mail to my proposal of counting muons with their Android application to see if anything strange happens in Formentera gravityless during muons rains. Following my crazy theory, it should be less muons when close by a gravity less spot. I managed some crazy friends to go out at night by an archeological site and above the great crack on Cabo Berberie (only perceptible by ESA satelitte) to hunt for invisible particules the Sun and other stars are spitting on us. Thanks to Homepage | NOAA / NWS Space Weather Prediction Center, we could spot a strong solar storm and ejection 60% chances. By the time it reached Formentera, we were in two different spots in Cabo Berberie's national park at night, hunting muons. We were frankly amazed by the result, capting the esperated number of muons that day on the north side of the 98m colline and not a single one on the south side, even waiting half hour. Slawomir, from the Polish association, founded the idea interesting.

"Good morning,

From the point of view of theory, differences in gravity should have no noticeable effect on the number of muons

(they arrive not because the Earth attracts them, but because they come from space).

BUT

Perhaps decaying dark matter could be sensitive to differences in gravity, and this could be seen in the radiation.

That's why I think your idea is interesting, but can be difficult to implement.

To conduct good research, you mainly need time.

If the phone is able to detect traces, it should detect several traces per hour.

But for it to make sense from a statistical point of view (to be able to confirm that particle detection behaves differently in this place - more/less traces) it would have to be done for a longer time and then compared with the results of this device in a "normal" place carried out in such same long time - e.g. a month.

For better statistics, it would be good to have more than one smartphone - if a given change is visible on all devices, then the result is more reliable.

It is also important to remember that ambient conditions, weather, temperature also affect the number of detections.

It would also be good to have some other detectors - if other detectors (e.g. based on a scintillator) showed the same change in the number of detections, it could be considered something unusual.

Detections only on one device or only in a short period of time (a few hours) do not make much sense because it will be difficult to deduce anything from them.

I love the idea of science performed too by the people, a concept also developed by Polish Credo. So, in Formentera, we need a protocol, a sponsor and dozens of cellular Android. But that project also have a very interesting aspect about music. Because not only sunsets are sensible to gravity (Formentera's ones are renowned in the whole world for its fascinating intensity and unusual range of colors), but also sound, which in gravityless is supposed to slow down a bit.

I consider all those options are important to make a movie on how a group of hippies friends discovers physical mysteries , with good rhythms and amazing sunsets. Having worked in French movies industry 20 years ago, I know how to write a movie script.

But I am not so sure about building the experiment protocol with a minima (0) budget to be able to evidence a muon absence in the gravityless place in Formentera. I thought maybe 4 places in Formentera, 2 in Ibiza and another 2 in Barcelona, 350km north, what mean we need at least 8 cellular phones Android to perform the experience. Any advices on possible protocols to follow to reach a minimum reliability?

I am really excited by the idea.

Yessss! At Berber Cape in Formentera, we catched yesterday night within 10mn a dozen of muons, as predicted 60% by NOAA Space weather!!! Even better, excellent cosmic particle following the Polish app CREDO ! And the most beautiful: exactly as I predicted, we got numerous muons before the first prehistorical site . 10mn later and 2km farer, we left the app 18mn all alone in a prairie in the middle of the natural park, close by the second prehistorical site . Not a single muon or cosmic particle. Almost a great victory, opening the door to familiar unusual landscapes, a new departure towards exciting unknown destinations. IA suggested me to try some experiments over there with water, around superficial tension . I also want to test mercury's behavior, because the way it should behave in microgravity is very graphic: it should form a sphere, also because of superficial tension. I am looking for other forms of experiments to prove microgravity on site, with "homemade" cheap materials (so schools could reproduce it). Any suggestion?
