White Dwarfs Beyond Chandrasekhar
QFunity Perspective: The standard Chandrasekhar limit becomes dynamic when accounting for spacetime torsion fields in binary mergers. Rotation-induced torsion can stabilize super-Chandrasekhar systems temporarily.
Core Mechanism
In the QFunity framework, merging white dwarfs generate quantum torsion fields that:
- Modify effective mass thresholds via spin-spacetime coupling
- Create delayed collapse scenarios (hours → years)
- Produce asymmetric supernovae remnants
Meff = MCh × (1 + αQF·ω2)
Where αQF is the QFunity torsion coefficient (≈ 0.1 for typical WD binaries).
Case Study: WDJ1810+3119
Parameter | Standard Model | QFunity Prediction |
---|---|---|
Total Mass (1.555 M⊙) | Immediate collapse | Stable for ~103 years |
Explosion Signature | Symmetric SN Ia | Polar jets + pre-explosion winds |
Experimental Tests
The QFunity model predicts observable differences:
- Gravitational waves: High-frequency torsion oscillations (LISA)
- Light curves: « Staircase » brightening pre-explosion
- Remnant geometry: Spiral nebula patterns
Key Insight: QFunity suggests that ~15% of observed « super-Chandrasekhar » systems may be torsion-stabilized binaries, not true mass outliers.
