James DeMeo has some interesting things to say about this paper when it was shared with him in relation to his research: Stunning Research RE-AFFIRMS Ether's Existence - Parkhomov: Deviations from Beta Radioactivity Exponential Drop
Note his comment on the video:
Very good, excellent research, glad you mentioned Kervran's work also. My only criticism is, based upon 50 years of experimental and theoretical investigations of similar unusual properties of space, is that with the neutrino theory, and dark matter theory, we expose a deeper cosmic substrate or continuum, being misinterpreted as "particles". Consider how they are detected, with small light flashes in large water tanks or ice material, using PMTs. Or as with the San Grosso DAMA project, light flashes in NaI(Tl) crystal scintillators. So the abundance or decline in a cyclical manner of those "particle" phenomena is, at its basic nature, increases or decreases in light flashes inside properly sensitive matter, in darkened environments where sensitive PMTs can pick it up. Such realizations led me to re-examine older theory on the cosmic ether of space, and to find the original Michelson-Morley experiment did get a positive result, by their own original 1887 report, with a maximum value of from 5 to 7.5 km/sec ether-drift velocity. Dayton Miller did the same, over four seasonal epochs, with variability in interferometer detections of from around 9 to over 11 kim/sec. These variabilities in ether motion, determined by light speed variations in interferometers, were sufficient to trouble Einstein, who said if they were confirmed (which they were) his theory would collapse "like a house of cards". And so it did, but few dare to examine that history and so we see an endless bit of fudging and refinements to a set of basically flawed physical and astrophysical theories, all resting upon misinterpretations and historical distortions of the interferometer experiments, which never got "null", and hence of light flashes detected by sensitive PMTs. This is fundamental also for radioactive decay detections, as GM tubes or crystal scintillators are the instruments of choice, both of which could be influenced by variations in the density or excitation state of the same cosmic medium once spoken about by the early physics of the 20th Century -- the cosmic ether of space. I submit, what is being detected in this excellent work is the same. And the cosmic directions implied by the variability runs across a sidereal vector centered more or less on the Earth's perihelion and aphelion, or ~5-6 hrs sidereal to ~17-18 hrs sidereal. That is confirmed also by the Bernabei DAMA project's "dark matter wind" determinations, but also and more fundamentally so, by the ether-drift experiments of Dayton Miller. Also with the mung-bean lunar cycle and biological cycle sidereal-hour experiments of American biologist Frank Brown. Also the Italian chemist Giorgio Piccardi's studies on precipitation rates and phase changes of ordinary chemical reactions. And by the heretic American scientist (chronically slandered in the MSM, books burned in Europe and America, died in prison on false charges) Wilhelm Reich. If all that is of interest, and it should be, see my introductory article on this on Principia Scientific International: Part 1: The Dynamic Ether of Cosmic Space Correcting a Major Error in Modern Science | Principia Scientific Intl. Thanks for posting your important YouTube summary. James DeMeo, PhD
Dr. DeMeo separately notes:
I noticed the annual cycle of radioactive decay rate variations (Parkhomov Table 1) runs on average across the same sidereal hours as identified in the ether-drift experiments, and generally along the same as the 17 other common axes identified in my Dynamic Ether book. A general high period of decay-rates at Jan-March, close to Miller's low ether-drift velocity, and a July-Sept period of low decay-rates close to Miller's high ether-drift velocity. (DeMeo, Table 11, fig 75, p.248)
There are other researchers in the USA who have done work on deviations in decay-rate constants, but none I know to have done it so systematically over months to identify a seasonal or sidereal variation. Reich also got severely deviant radioactive decay events in his Oranur Experiment, which used the orgone (ether) accumulator. Some work on similarities in histograms of rad-decay daily count rates from identical isotope samples monitored with identical equipment but in different laboratories. Of course, this is all denied by the mainstreamers. In many ways, Russian science is ahead of the English speaking world on these matters. Like Sputnik, I fear we will be surprised by future major discoveries not accepted here, but applied dramatically there. (Ie, Robert Goddard's rocket.)
Had I known of this previously, it would have demanded another section in my book on radioactive decay variations, and boosted the findings to 18 common axes!
However, Parkhomov's paper appears to confine his explanations into standard theory, more or less, embracing standard models of neutrinos and "dark matter".
He also noted as an update to his book:
PS. A small correction was recently made in my Dynamic Ether book. On pages 53-54, in the chapter on Michelson-Morley, the page numbers given for the citations to their 1887 paper should all be 341, and not 281. Also on p.54, it should read "the Fresnel and Stokes arguments", and not "Foucault and Stokes". Otherwise all is well with it.
