Nonlinear Schroedinger mechanics and the law of gravity
Description
This paper is a study of the consequences that follow from modeling a nonlinear and nonrelativistic quantum theory for gravitating particles. At present there exist no relativistic generalizations that do not sacrifice certain assumptions which are standard in covariant field theories. Conditions are given, derived from a heuristic Bohr-type argument, when the model provides a lower bound on the mass of gravitating particles in accord with the mass of atomic nuclei. The cosmological implications of the model are presented in detail
