Vasily Leonidovich Yanchilin (Russian: Vasilii Leonidovich Yanchilin; born 1965 in Barnaul, Russia) is a Russian scientist and author of The Quantum Theory of Gravitation (2003).
Quantum gravity
In the book he presents a new theory of gravity based on the hypothesis that mass reduces the Heisenberg uncertainty. Quantum mechanical transitions within a particle then are less in the half nearest to an external mass and thus a surplus moves from the farther half towards the nearer half. The net result is that the whole particle moves in the direction of the external mass, making gravity a purely quantum mechanical process.
He also analyzes the movement of a photon near a mass with the principle of least action: the photon tries to make as big steps (oscillations with low frequency); therefore passing a zone where the second slows down and the unit of length increases. This is in agreement with the photon's observed parabolic route.
