Claude Morichon is a French author known for developing a "théorie unitaire" (unitary theory), an attempt at a unified foundation for physics based on gravitons and a proposed second entity of the vacuum. They are listed in The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists.
Ideas
Morichon set out their ideas in the book Réflexions sur les bases de la physique (Lucien Souny, 1997) and on the website theorie-unitaire.com. In this framework, the vacuum is described as containing "gravitons" together with a second entity, and mass and the properties of particles are said to arise from gravitons passing through them; the elementary unit of this action is identified with the Planck constant. The theory is presented as a personal, unified alternative to accepted physics and lies outside the scientific mainstream.
