Dynamical 3-Space Gravitational Waves: Reverberation EffectsKeywords: velocity eld , self-interaction of the dynamical 3-space , ne structure , fractal structure of 3-space , reverberation e ect , Shnoll e ect Abstract: Gravity theory missed a key dynamical process that became apparent only when expressed in terms of a velocity eld, instead of the Newtonian gravitational acceleration eld. This dynamical process involves an additional self-interaction of the dynamical 3-space, and experimental data reveals that its strength is set by the ne structure constant, implying a fundamental link between gravity and quantum theory. The dynamical 3-space has been directly detected in numerous light-speed anisotropy experiments. Quantum matter has been shown to exhibit an acceleration caused by the time-dependence and inhomogeneity of the 3-space ow, giving the rst derivation of gravity from a deeper theory, as a quantum wave refraction e ect. EM radiation is also refracted in a similar manner. The anisotropy experiments have all shown 3-space wave/turbulence e ects, with the latest revealing the fractal structure of 3-space. Here we report the prediction of a new e ect, namely a reverberation e ect, when the gravitational waves propagate in the 3-space in ow of a large mass. This e ect arises from the non-linear dynamics of 3-space. These reverberations could o er an explanation for the Shnoll e ect, in which cosmological factors in uence stochastic processes, such as radioactive decay rates.
