Abstract
The high-precision interferometer developed by Vladimir Leonov has, for the first time, recorded diurnal variations in the number of interference fringes, providing empirical support for his earlier theoretical prediction regarding the influence of quantized space on the speed of light. Observations indicate that the number of fringes—and consequently, variations in the speed of light gradient—reaches its minimum around 11:00 and its maximum at approximately 19:00 time of day. The exceptional sensitivity of the interferometer necessitated the application of wavelet filters to suppress noises. However, despite wavelet filtration, occasional significant deviations were observed. As with D.C. Miller’s experiments, these deviations may be attributed to various factors, ranging from electrical and magnetic influences to environmental and cosmic effects. This suggests the existence of a common parameter linking the physics of seemingly different phenomena, detectable by the interferometer. In the works of V.S. Leonov, this unifying parameter is described as a space filled with tetraquarks, while N.V. Levashov associates it with variations in spatial dimensionality (curvature). The investigation of the causes behind diurnal variations in fringe count necessitated the inclusion of meteorological parameters. Multiple regression analysis successfully described interferometer readings over a 10-day observation period with an R² ≈ 0.65, indicating that the primary trends were captured. Ranking via machine learning revealed that the most significant factors influencing the variations were the ultraviolet index and the Moon's phase, while the least significant were the local geomagnetic K-index, lunar-solar tides, and other meteorological parameters
