How a rubbing with a microfiber manage to shatter the "bullet proof" windshield of Musk Cybertruck?

I learned from Heikki Hirvonen an about Musk Cybertruck windshield that was told to be “bullet proof” but turned out to be quite not so (see this). Even worse, it has been found that interaction with microfiber and the material of Musk Windshield creates some specific style of resonance that would then shatter that material. This brings to mind opera sopranos shattering wine glasses. One might think that the system considered must be critical so that very small periodic perturbations can induce very large changes if they are of the right kind and have a correct frequency.

1. Background observations and assumptions

1. The super strength of the glass could mean that it does not break under the deformations studied. Throwing piece rock and rubbing with microfiber do not belong to the class of allowed deformations. So what could be the deformations that do not break the glass?

Could it be that only deformations have been tested where pressure is applied to the windshield, i.e. an impulse current in the direction of the impulse, but not deformations involving shear, i.e. the direction of the impulse current is perpendicular to the transferred impulse. The difference is also that it is about direct contact with the microfiber.

In rubbing, shear occurs. The microfiber is pressed against the surface and pushed at the same time: both pressure in the normal direction and shear in the direction of the surface are created. For example, in hydrodynamics, the very poorly understood generation of vortices at the interface (turbulence is due to shear). The creation of vortices is forced by the conservation of angular momentum. In TGD-based hydrodynamics, this process is essentially a quantum critical process on macroscales.

Could it be that the strength of the glass, as defined in the way I guessed, was exactly the reason for the breakage. Would the glass be too rigid in this sense and unable to flex and break?

Or could the glass be fragile in terms of certain types of deformations that have not been taken into account? Pressure wouldn’t create them, but shear could do so. The characteristics of the microfiber could also be important. 2. What kind of model could be imagined for the phenomenon?

1. Could the strength of the glass be defined so that when a weight is placed on the glass plate, it does not develop dent: this would mean that no curvature is generated. For example, a planar sheet of metal is a good example. It does not break easily.

However, a flat metal or glass plate (flatness is important!) is very sensitive against development of warping, which only bends but does not curve the flat surface so that it remains flat. The fluttering of a metal plate is a good example of this. Another kind of sheet of paper unstable to fluttering. Such time-dependent warpings would decompose to 1-dimensional plane waves propagating along the surface of the metal of glass. They would be very much like transversal sound waves.

What is important is that warping is a critical phenomenon due the large number of flat warped surfaces (the warping profile can correspond to any function). In TGD criticality involves the development of large h_eff phases and long-range quantum correlations.

Already Euler thought about what happens when a weight is placed on a bar bent upwards (Euler buckling). At a critical weight,a collapse occurs. This is one of the basic applications of catastrophe theory. The critical amplitude of the warping wave would correspond to the critical weight for which the glass would break.

One might think that the action principle contains an energy density term that is proportional to the square of the 2-D curvature scalar for the induced metric and vanishing for bended configurations. There would enormous vacuum degeneracy. Stability against deformations generating curvature requires the coefficient of this term is very large. A lot of energy would be needed to produce a dent. But bending without curving brings in the Troyan horse.

Action would indeed contain a term proportional to the surface area, which would correspond to the normal tension that tends to oppose the increase of the surface area. For warping, the energy would be only needed to increase the surface area. Could warping waves, possibly created by the rubbing with microfiber, lead to the breakage? Shear should provide the needed momentum and energy resonance should strengthen the warping wave. 3. What happens when the window shield breaks?

1. A catastrophe theorist might state that the system is characterized by, for example, a cusp catastrophe. When the critical shear is reached, the system undergoes a sudden transition: the system breaks down.
2. If one starts from the quantum level, the reduction of quantum coherence comes first to mind. In collapse the quantum coherence length would decrease dramatically from the size of the whole system to the size of the fragments. If the quantum coherence with the magnetic body of the glass surface takes care of the coherence of the glass, then it would have to decrease. In the h_eff distribution, the average value of h_eff would decrease.

This is however only the outcome, not to be the primary cause. Long-scale quantum coherence and quantum criticality together with energy feed occurring at resonance frequency and increasing the value of h_eff would be the reasons leading to the limit at which the system collapses.

Why would rubbing with microfiber induce a critical shear leading to the breaking and loss of quantum coherence? warping waves are a good candidate. The glass would start to shake in the vertical direction. When the amplitude of the warping wave would exceed the critical limit, the result would be collapse and breaking into pieces. Rubbing with microfiber would feed into the system the necessary energy needed to generate h_eff phases and this would occur at quantum criticality associated with the warping waves. 4. Identifying the resonance frequency

This should include a frequency resonance that would correspond to the wavelength of the wave identifiable as a natural length scale for microfiber and/or glass. One would expect the flutter frequency to be on the Hertz scale. The sequel will certainly arouse academic head shaking, but it is based on the fact that in the TGD world, the planets and the sun form a quantum-coherent system, the effect of which can be seen on Earth at all levels, especially in biology.

1. Microfiber has a wavelength Λ ≈ 1 micrometer as a natural scale. The IR energy scale of 1 eV would correspond to that and it can be assumed to be the basic scale. Could photons with this energy transform into bundles of dark photons; they, in turn, break up into a bundle of ordinary phonons or even into a Bose-Einstein condensate or a coherent state as a quantum analog of classical state.
2. Let’s start with the Earth’s gravitation. The length scale related to the Earth’s gravitation Planck’s constant is .5 cm (half of the Schwartschild radius) and the associated frequency is 67 GHz. The frequency is quite too big. Furthermore, the Earth’s gravitation is now not decisive because the warping is not in the vertical direction but closer to the tangential direction. In any case Earth’s gravitation is not enough.
3. It doesn’t help but to follow the example of Icarus. The Sun’s gravitational constant gives a frequency of f=50 Hz, which is the average frequency and important resonance frequency of the EEG central in communications between the brain and its magnetic body. This is a reasonable frequency. The corresponding gravitational wavelength Λ= c/f is half the radius of the Earth.

Needless to emphasize that this makes no sense unless one accepts the astrophysical quantum coherence assigned with gravitation and that the oscillation takes place on the magnetic body of the glass plate on the scale of the Earth’s radius. Could the resonance (basically acoustic warping wave) correspond to a frequency of 50 Hz identifiabley as frequency of dark photons generated at the magnetic body of the Sun.

1. The phonons of the acoustic wave would couple to the dark photons on the magnetic body produced by shear. This is where microfiber would take the role of a Trojan horse. [In liquid flow, the conservation of angular momentum would produce vortices which would be associated with dark monopole flux tubes. Even now, magnetic vortices could be created that have solar gravitational Planck constant.]
2. The frequencies (50 Hz) would be the same, but the energy of a dark photon would correspond to the energy of many “warping phonons”: a Bose-Einstein condensate/coherent state analogy of phonons would be created. Assuming proton-Earth pair, one has ℏ_gr(Earth,proton) proportional to m_pM_E. This gives 1 eV energy scale, which corresponds to 1 micrometer wavelength for ordinary photons.

The critical reader has probably noticed that the magnetic bodies of both the Sun and the earth are included, characterized by ℏ_gr(Sun,proton) and ℏ_gr(earth,proton) respectively. The gravitational Compton length Λ_gr(Sun,proton) of Sun is R_E/2, which is the size scale for the Earth’s magnetic body. Also ℏ_gr(Earth,proton) is required. Could one think that dark photons for which h_eff= h_gr(Sun,proton) are created first, and that these break up into bunches of dark photons with h_eff= h_gr(Earth,proton). The frequency would remain the same. These in turn break up into bunches of “warping phonons”.

If the propagation speed of the warping wave is roughly estimated as v=300 m/s, then the wavelength would be Λ = v/f= 6 m. The multiple is a bit too big compared to the dimensions of the windshield. v should be an order of magnitude smaller, coincidentally(?) the same order as the conduction velocity of the nerve impulse. Note also that a micrometer is the scale of a cell nucleus. 5. Summary

Microfibre rubbing would induce warping waves, whose amplitude would increase in resonance and lead to shattering.

1. First, dark photons (piezoelectricity) would be generated at the solar magnetic body and then decay to bunches of dark photons at the magnetic body of Earth with energy of order eV, corresponding to the scale of the basic structure of the microfiber. Their frequency would be 50 Hz corresponding to the gravitational Compton wavelength of the Sun, which is of the order of the Earth’s radius/2.
2. h_eff= h_gr(Earth,proton) photons would in turn decay to a “warping phonon” beam with the same frequency of 50 Hz. Phonons would form a coherent state or BE condensate. This would lead to an acoustic laser effect and amplification, and the result would be resonance and catastrophe, analogous to Euler buckling, when the warping amplitude becomes too large. Here, quantum criticality, which is naturally associated with warping waves, would be essential, it would make the Trojan horse effect possible.
