Electro Magnetic Curvature Theory – Working Summary

Abstract

We present a governed, falsifiable experimental framework for probing whether quantum-coherent electromagnetic systems can generate measurable spacetime curvature. The proposed apparatus consists of a counter-rotating toroidal stack of high-temperature superconducting rings (YBCO/BSCCO, 10–15 cm diameter, 500–1000 A, 1–5 T), an axial superconducting electromagnetic lens for directional field bias, and a cryogenic high-vacuum environment operating below 10⁻⁶ torr. This configuration is designed to produce an anisotropic stress–energy distribution topologically analogous to the boundary structure of warp-metric solutions in the weak-field, linearized regime, without invoking exotic matter or modifications to established physics. The detection framework employs dual-channel readout, a high-precision interferometer (phase sensitivity ~10⁻¹⁵ rad) and a torsion balance (torque resolution ~10⁻¹² N·m), to search for gravitomagnetic and frame-dragging-like signatures with effective angular velocity sensitivity in the range 10⁻¹⁶ to 10⁻¹⁸ rad/s. The experiment is structured so that both positive detections and null results yield publishable outcomes: either revealing previously unmeasured electromagnetic–gravity coupling in quantum-coherent systems, or establishing the strongest laboratory bounds to date on such interactions. The complete apparatus is estimated at USD 300,000–500,000, with a construction and commissioning timeline of 12–18 months.
