Theory of Sub-Atomic Particle Acceleration

The theory was conceived in 2010 by aspiring physicist, Nikhil Menon. He presented the paper to the Princeton Association of Physics Masters, an organisation which aims to publish papers from the physics youth of the world.
The theory stems from the phenomenon known as Spatial Acceleration, it is scenario which exists but is not considered a theory on its own as it branches off of the main idea of the Kinetic Theory. However, the ‘Theory of Sub-Atomic Particle Acceleration’ proves that it does not only exist as a branch of Kinetic theory, but also as the result of heat and light. The theory is still being worked on as an equation related the relative acceleration is yet to be produced.
Spatial Acceleration
An object which passes through a space which is enclosed, a tunnel for example, will accelerate all the particles in that space. This is due to the accelerated object's speed not being able to dissolve, it gets absorbed because it is blocked and surrounded. This is called Spatial Acceleration. It can be observed through the experiment of have a train (or any other object which can be applied) travel through open space at a designated speed, 80km/h, for example. Water should be sprinkled onto the sides of the object, in this case the train. The object should travel a designated distance, 1 km per say. Then the object should be sent through a space which is enclosed by some sort of solid and hard surrounding. The train (or whatever other object is used) should travel at the same velocity and distance. The water droplets should move more in the tunnel than in the outside as the particles which are surrounding the train are accelerated causing more force or friction against the droplets, hence making the droplets travel a further distance. This experiment can be conducted with mediums other than water such as petroleum- a medium of a thicker consistency which is liquid.
Sub-Particle Acceleration
We know that the particles have been accelerated because they are receiving a force, however, not only are the particles which have received the direct force going to accelerate as there are other particles in the space. These particles will be forced to accelerate due to the newly accelerated particles making contact with them. This has been named, ‘Sub-Particle Acceleration’ as the particles are sub-existent to the particles being observed.
Although, the other particles are now being accelerated, one more factor of the original acceleration still needs to be considered, heat. Whenever there is friction, there is heat. This heat will occur in the form of radiation as well as convection, because the train itself will have its own heat and the friction will cause greater resonance on the surface of the train. Due to the heat being in the form of radiation, infra-red rays will be emitted. This means that although the particles are co-accelerating, they are also being directly accelerated by light itself. Therefore, the notion of particle acceleration existing as a single entity or result of solely Kinetic Theory is incorrect as the factor of heat and the light consequence have not been considered.
