How is it possible that there is a reality for quantum rigidity? How it is true that “empty spacetime” (devoid of matter and energy) opposes no resistance to the motion of existing matter (e.g. planets) and energy (e.g. photons)?
For existing matter, true rigidity implies that shear, bulk, and Young’s modulus must all become infinite. For industrialized products, e.g. stainless steel, its modulus of elasticity or rigidity is between 28 and 30 millions pound force per square inch. These values are practically zero compared to infinity. Nevertheless, the modulus of quantum rigidity, effective only at the local infinitesimal region of spacetime, is nearly infinite thus giving all elementary particles their individual identities. Moreover, quantum rigidity suggests the invariance of zero-point energy, analogous to the constant internal potentials of rigid bodies of classical mechanics.
Time independence: [∂E(g)]˛=[∂F(a)×∂r(a)]·[∂F(b)×∂r(b)] and Mass independence: ¶a(t)·¶r(t)=c˛
