Assuming that a particle and its antiparticle have the gravitational charge of the opposite
sign, the physical vacuum may be considered as a fluid of virtual gravitational dipoles …

Recently, the gravitational polarization of the quantum vacuum was proposed as alternative
to the dark matter paradigm. In the present paper we consider four benchmark …

The cosmological constant problem is the principal obstacle in the attempt to interpret dark
energy as the quantum vacuum energy. We suggest that the obstacle can be removed, ie …

This article is based on two hypotheses. The first one is the existence of the gravitational
repulsion between particles and antiparticles. Consequently, virtual particle-antiparticle …

We argue that the so-called “Pioneer Anomaly” is related to the quantum vacuum
fluctuations. Our approach is based on the hypothesis of the gravitational repulsion between …

In this article we reconsider the old mysterious relation, advocated by Dirac and Weinberg,
between the mass of the pion, the fundamental physical constants, and the Hubble …

According to Einstein “a physical theory should offer a picture of reality”. This made him
frustrated and dissatisfied with the standard interpretation (or lack thereof) of quantum …

We start with a summary of the theory of the gravitational polarization of the quantum
vacuum, which makes it possible to consider the quantum vacuum as a source of gravity in …

After decades of impotence to solve the frustrating series of problems revealed by
astrophysics and cosmology and after recent debacle of theories beyond the Standard …
