Spontaneous rotation of matter is investigated. The results provide further evidence in support of earlier indications of a wave-only reality in which the quantum energy packet exists in the form of a conjugate wave—particle doublet. It reveals that matter, be it wave or particle, is a harmonic oscillator defined with full spectrum of the usual mechanical properties of simple harmonic motion SHM. Notably, the quantum energy packet’s stress field correlates with radius to generate intrinsic torque, it motivates spontaneous rotation at all levels of the cosmic mass scale from the electron to the universe; its atomic and natural units are
and
respectively for matter’s wave (bosonic) and particulate (fermionic) forms. The proton’s observational internal pressure
Pa reported recently by Burkert
et al. deviates markedly from the theoretical value ~10
22 Pa, the difference attributes to challenges with existing energy measurement procedures. Velocities of electron waveform in random thermal motion evaluated with the new approach agree remarkably well with values obtained with kinetic-molecular theory KT; much more importantly, the analysis reveals existence, at standard conditions, of electron waveform’s hyper-luminal root-mean-square velocity,
, if verified, this finding might inform on-going neutrino research. The evidence suggests that effects formalized in the theories of thermodynamics and kinetics trace to mobile torque fields.
