Nonrelativistic Open String Model – Graviton Mass and Lifetime Values

Candidate graviton string parameters are investigated using a nonrelativistic open string model with fixed endpoints. String parameters and lifetime values are derived as a function of the graviton mass. A wide variation in string parameter and lifetime values is predicted for the various graviton mass values utilized in this paper. The graviton averaged logarithmic lifetime values exceed 1093 yr for the 10-44 to 10-37 MeV/c2 mass range considered in this paper.
