Fine tuning and MOND in a metamaterial “multiverse”

Abstract We consider the recently suggested model of a multiverse based on a ferrofluid. When the ferrofluid is subjected to a modest external magnetic field, the nanoparticles inside the ferrofluid form small hyperbolic metamaterial domains, which from the electromagnetic standpoint behave as indiv...

description	Abstract We consider the recently suggested model of a multiverse based on a ferrofluid. When the ferrofluid is subjected to a modest external magnetic field, the nanoparticles inside the ferrofluid form small hyperbolic metamaterial domains, which from the electromagnetic standpoint behave as individual “Minkowski universes” exhibiting different “laws of physics”, such as different strength of effective gravity, different versions of modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) and different radiation lifetimes. When the ferrofluid “multiverse” is populated with atomic or molecular species, and these species are excited using an external laser source, the radiation lifetimes of atoms and molecules in these “universes” depend strongly on the individual physical properties of each “universe” via the Purcell effect. Some “universes” are better fine-tuned than others to sustain the excited states of these species. Thus, the ferrofluid-based metamaterial “multiverse” may be used to study models of MOND and to illustrate the fine-tuning mechanism in cosmology.
