| contents | <p>We present the first experimental bridge between black-hole physics and high-energy nuclear collisions by extending <strong>Coherence-Modified Relativity (CMR)</strong>—a theory that links the flow of time to the structural coherence of matter—to <strong>laboratory-scale quark–gluon plasmas (QGPs)</strong>. In CMR, a scalar coherence field ψ ∈ [0, 1] quantifies how intact a physical system remains under stress, with proper time scaling as dτ/dt ∝ ψ^{β/2}. When ψ → 0, time ceases to flow locally, preventing singularities.</p> <p>In ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the LHC, energy density replaces curvature: as temperature rises above the deconfinement threshold (T/T_c > 1), ψ(T/T_c) decays logistically, reproducing the same coherence breakdown seen near event horizons. An effective dimensionality d_eff = 3 ψ^γ captures the QGP’s apparent “dimensional melt” from 3D hadronic structure toward 1D plasma flow. ALICE and ATLAS jet-quenching and flow-harmonic data correspond to ψ ≈ 0.3–0.5 in the LHC regime T/T_c ≈ 2–3, matching near-horizon coherence loss in black holes.</p> <p>This work reframes QGP formation as a <strong>laboratory analog of gravitational time suppression</strong>, offering a new experimental testbed for quantum-gravity-inspired theories. Calibrating ψ(T/T_c) with collider data anchors the same field used to resolve black-hole singularities and cosmological bounces, establishing an empirical pathway between <strong>quantum coherence, time flow, and spacetime geometry</strong>.</p> <p><strong>Significance</strong><br>This study introduces a single coherence field, ψ, that unites black-hole physics and quark–gluon plasma experiments within one framework. ψ governs gravitational time slowdown in Coherence-Modified Relativity and coherence loss during QGP deconfinement, providing a shared language for curvature- and energy-driven breakdowns of structure. By mapping ψ to measurable jet-quenching and flow observables, the work proposes—perhaps for the first time—a relativity extension with an experimentally derivable scalar order parameter, linking quantum coherence, time flow, and spacetime geometry.</p> |
