Alex Kaivarainen is a researcher known for developing a "Unified Theory of Bivacuum," an alternative framework proposing that matter, fields and time originate from a dynamic superfluid vacuum. He is listed in The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists.
Work
Kaivarainen has published a series of papers, distributed largely through arXiv since 2000, setting out what he calls a Unified Theory of Bivacuum. In this model the vacuum is treated as a dynamic superfluid matrix composed of dipoles of correlated "torus" and "antitorus" structures carrying opposite energy, mass, charge, spin and magnetic moments, built from non-mixing sub-quantum particles and antiparticles separated by an energy gap. From this bivacuum he attempts to derive the origin of mass and charge, corpuscle–wave duality, and a "bivacuum-mediated interaction."
Earlier in his career Kaivarainen worked in biophysics and the physics of condensed matter, developing a hierarchic theory of the structure and properties of liquids and solids, which he applied in particular to water and ice and supported with computer simulation. His arXiv papers list an affiliation with the Department of Physics at the University of Turku.
His bivacuum papers extend into topics well outside the scientific mainstream, including proposals connecting the theory to "overunity" devices, cold fusion, and purported bridges between "normal and paranormal" phenomena. These claims have not been accepted by the mainstream physics community.
