Harmonization of the Physical Vacuum: A Comprehensive Analysis of Quantum Physics, Torsion Fields, and Cosmological Implications
Introduction
Harmonization of the physical vacuum is a concept promoted by Anatolii Pavlenko, a Ukrainian researcher and professor at the Open International University of Human Development "Ukraine". The idea combines elements from quantum physics, cosmology and alternative theories, particularly torsion fields, to suggest that human technology creates an imbalance in the underlying structure of spacetime – the physical vacuum. Pavlenko claims that this imbalance, driven by electromagnetic radiation and torsional fields from electronic devices, can have negative effects on biological systems, including at the genetic level. He suggests that harmonizing the vacuum can counteract these effects and protect people by restoring balance to this fundamental structure.
This article will explore the nature of the physical vacuum, the theoretical basis of the torsion field, and the methods Pavlenko proposes for harmonization. Through a "DeepSearch" in scientific databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar and Europe PMC, as well as a critical "Think" analysis, we will assess the concepts against established science and speculative theory. We will also expand the discussion to include quantum field theory (QFT), cosmological models such as ΛCDM, and recent experimental advances to provide a holistic understanding of the area.
The physical vacuum and its role in the universe
The physical vacuum is not an empty space, but a dynamic, quantum fluctuating structure that is the basis of all matter and energy in the universe. In quantum field theory (QFT), the vacuum is described as a state with the lowest possible energy, where virtual particles – such as electron-positron pairs – continuously arise and annihilate according to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle (ΔE · Δt ≥ ħ/2). This principle allows for short-term violations of energy conservation, allowing particles to exist for fractions of a second before disappearing again.
Quantum mechanical basis
Virtual particles arise as a result of quantum fluctuations in the energy field of the vacuum. This is not just a theoretical assumption, but has experimental support. The Casimir effect, first proposed by Hendrik Casimir in 1948, demonstrates that two neutral metal plates placed close to each other in vacuum experience an attractive force due to confined quantum fluctuations between them compared to the unconfined vacuum outside. Measurements of this effect, carried out with high precision in modern laboratories, confirm the dynamic nature of the vacuum. Furthermore, experiments with quantum optics, such as those by Leitenstorfer et al. (2016), directly measured fluctuations in the vacuum's electric field using ultrashort laser pulses, providing further evidence for this model.
Cosmological perspective
In cosmology, the vacuum plays a central role in the evolution of the universe. The cosmological standard model, ΛCDM (Lambda Cold Dark Matter), postulates that vacuum energy – often represented by the cosmological constant Λ – drives the universe's accelerating expansion. This energy is believed to be Lorentz invariant, meaning that it is constant in time and space, and makes up about 68% of the total energy content of the universe according to observations from the Planck satellite (2018). The vacuum's role also extends to the inflationary phase, a theoretical period just after the Big Bang where the universe expanded exponentially rapidly. Quantum fluctuations in this phase are believed to have created the small density variations that later developed into galaxies and star systems.
Pavlenko expands this understanding by suggesting that the vacuum is not just a passive background, but an active structure that can be affected by human activity, particularly through torsional fields and electromagnetic radiation. He suggests that this influence creates an "imbalance" that can be harmonized, an idea that calls for a deeper investigation of the torsion field's theoretical underpinnings.
Torsion Fields: Theory and Science
Torsion fields are a hypothesis first developed in the Soviet Union in the 1980s by researchers such as Anatoly Akimov and Gennady Shipov. These fields are claimed to be an extension of Einstein's general theory of relativity, specifically within the Einstein–Cartan theory, which includes torsion as a geometric property of spacetime. Unlike gravitational fields, which arise from mass and energy, torsional fields are believed to be generated by the spin or rotation of matter, and to be able to transmit information without direct energy consumption.
Theoretical framework
The Einstein-Cartan theory extends general relativity by including a torsional component in the metric of spacetime. Torsion occurs when the curvature of spacetime is not only due to mass (as in standard GR), but also spin from particles. Mathematically, torsion is expressed as an antisymmetric tensor (T^μ_νλ) which modifies the connection in the geometry of spacetime. Shipov and Akimov further developed this into a "Theory of Physical Vacuum," in which torsional fields carry information and can affect matter at a distance. They claimed that such fields have a speed far above that of light, which violates the causality principles of relativity, and that they can affect biological systems at the cellular and genetic level.
Building on this theory, Pavlenko suggests that modern electronic technology, such as cell phones and Wi-Fi, generates torsional fields that disrupt the harmony of the physical vacuum. He contrasts this with electromagnetic radiation (EMR), which primarily heats tissue through thermal effects, and argues that torsion fields have a deeper, non-thermal effect on DNA and cellular processes.
The dynamics of the physical vacuum and the influence of technology
To understand Pavlenko's claim that technology disrupts the vacuum, we need to delve deeper into quantum field theory and electromagnetism. Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from devices such as mobile phones operates in the radio frequency spectrum (300 MHz to 3 GHz) and interacts with matter primarily through thermal effects, as described by Maxwell's equations. SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) measures energy absorption in tissue, and limit values (e.g. 2 W/kg) set international standards to ensure that heating does not damage cells.
Electromagnetic radiation vs. torsion field
Pavlenko distinguishes between EMR and torsion fields by claiming that the latter does not primarily heat tissue, but affects on a genetic level. This term can be interpreted as a hypothesis that torsional fields change DNA structure, gene expression or cellular signaling without thermal energy.
Pavlenko suggests that torsional fields arise as a secondary effect of EMR, possibly through the rotation of charged particles in electronic circuits, and that these fields disrupt the quantum fluctuations of the vacuum. He refers to the term "fabric of the universe", inspired by Roger Penrose, who describes spacetime as a dynamic structure influenced by quantum effects. Pavlenko speculatively extends this to include torsion fields as a modulator of the vacuum's virtual particles, but without mathematical or experimental support.
Scientific assessment
Quantum field theory recognizes that electromagnetic fields in the vacuum can affect virtual particles, as in the Lamb shift (a small energy shift in the hydrogen atom due to vacuum fluctuations). But there is no evidence that technology on a macroscopic level (e.g. smartphones) creates torsion fields or significantly changes the state of the vacuum beyond known electromagnetic interactions. Pavlenko's idea of an "imbalance" in the vacuum lacks a quantifiable definition and is not supported by established models such as QFT or the Standard Model of particle physics.
Methods of harmonization
Pavlenko suggests several methods to harmonize the physical vacuum and counteract the effects of torsion fields and EMR. These methods range from technical solutions to metaphysical approaches, and we will analyze them in detail:
Mechanical coupling of torsion fields
Pavlenko claims that negative and positive torsional fields can be neutralized by connecting geopathogenic zones—areas on Earth of supposed abnormal energy—with wires or metal structures. He suggests that this creates a balance in the vacuum's torsional dynamics. Geopathogenic zones are a concept from alternative medicine and dowsing, but lack scientific definition or measurable properties in physics. Theoretically, such a coupling could affect local electromagnetic fields, but there is no evidence that it changes torsional fields or vacuum fluctuations. This method is similar to grounding practices in electrical engineering, but without the link to torsion theory.
Material influence
Pavlenko highlights magnesium as a material with "unique torsional properties" that can harmonize the vacuum. Magnesium has specific physical properties, such as high conductivity and low density, but no known torsional effects in scientific literature. He suggests that metals can act as antennas or modulators for torsional fields, based on their crystal structure. This can be speculatively linked to quantum effects in condensed matter (eg superconductivity), but there is no experimental support for magnesium affecting the structure of the vacuum beyond known electromagnetic interactions.
Sound and images
Pavlenko suggests that mantras such as "OUM" and visual representations of geopathic zones can harmonize the vacuum by influencing virtual particles. This is based on the idea that sound frequencies or visual patterns can resonate with quantum fluctuations. Scientifically, sound waves can affect matter at the microscopic level (eg in acoustic levitation), but there is no mechanism in QFT that supports sound changing the energy state of the vacuum. Pavlenko can draw inspiration from studies of the structure of water molecules under the influence of sound (e.g. Emoto's work).
Conscious intention and quantum mechanical effects
Pavlenko suggests that human consciousness can directly affect the physical vacuum, based on alleged experiments in which thought energy alters laser beams or water molecules. This draws parallels to quantum mechanics' observer effect, where measurement affects a particle's state (eg the collapse of the wave function in the Copenhagen interpretation). However, this is a misconception; the observer effect requires physical interaction, not awareness alone. Studies such as the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) have explored the effect of intention on random systems, but the results are statistically weak and not accepted as evidence for the direct influence of consciousness on quantum phenomena.
Geometric configurations
Pavlenko suggests that pyramidal and spiral structures can balance torsional fields by creating resonance with the dynamics of the vacuum. This is based on alternative theories that geometry affects energy, as in pyramid studies from the 1970s (e.g. alleged effects on food preservation). Scientifically, geometric structures can affect electromagnetic fields (e.g. in antenna design), but there is no evidence that they change torsional fields or vacuum fluctuations beyond speculative theory.
Photobiomodulation
Using specific light frequencies to influence vacuum fluctuations is another method Pavlenko mentions. Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a recognized technique in medical research, where low-intensity light (eg 600–1000 nm) stimulates cellular processes such as mitochondrial respiration. Pavlenko extends this to suggest that light can modulate the vacuum's virtual particles. PBM's effects are well understood as biochemical responses, not quantum vacuum interactions.
Philosophical and practical implications
If Pavlenko's theories had experimental support, they could revolutionize our understanding of the role of the quantum vacuum in matter and consciousness. Philosophically, they challenge the distinction between physical reality and subjective experience, and suggest a holistic connection between technology, biology and the cosmos. In practical terms, harmonization techniques could lead to new methods of shielding against electromagnetic radiation, manipulating matter at the quantum level, or even influencing biological systems in a controlled way.
Homes and workplaces
Implementation of harmonization technologies, such as magnesium-based structures or geometric configurations, could potentially reduce perceived stress from electromagnetic radiation in everyday environments. Although the health effects of EMR below limit values are debated, some report subjective symptoms (eg, fatigue) near Wi-Fi sources, which may justify alternative approaches.
Medical technology
Torsion field technology could theoretically be used in healthcare facilities to support cellular balance, but without evidence this remains speculative. PBM is already showing promising results in wound healing and inflammation reduction, which can inspire further research.
Agriculture
Harmonizing the vacuum could affect plant growth by optimizing cellular energy, inspired by studies showing the effect of light frequencies on photosynthesis. However, this requires specific measurements of the impact of the torsion field, which are lacking.
Space travel
In astronautical medicine, vacuum harmonization could theoretically protect against cosmic radiation in space, where high levels of ionizing radiation are a challenge. This assumes that torsion fields can shield against particles, which has not been proven.
Awareness development
Pavlenko's idea that harmonization provides mental clarity links to theories of the quantum basis of consciousness (eg Penrose and Hameroff's Orch-OR theory).
Final assessment
Pavlenko's work on harmonizing the physical vacuum mixes quantum physics, cosmology and speculative science in a way that both fascinates and challenges established knowledge. The role of the physical vacuum as a dynamical structure is well established in QFT and cosmology, supported by experiments such as the Casimir effect and observations of the expansion of the universe. Pavlenko's methods – from mechanical coupling to conscious intention – range from the technically plausible to the metaphysical.
If future experiments were to confirm the torsion field's existence and effects, it could lead to a paradigm shift in our understanding of the vacuum's role in matter, energy and consciousness. For now, Pavlenko's work represents a boundary between science and speculation, with the potential to inspire new hypotheses, but without the empirical support required to integrate into established physics. This analysis encourages further research, while at the same time emphasizing the need for skepticism and rigor in the face of alternative theories.
