The force exerting on cosmic bodies in a quaternionc field

Abstract

The expression of a time-dependent cosmological constant $\lambda \propto 1/t^2$ is interpreted as the energy density of a special type of the quaternionic field. The Lorenz-like force acting on the moving body in the presence of this quaternionic field is determined. The astronomical and terrestrial effects of this field are presented, and the ways how it can be observably detected is discussed. Finally, a new mechanism of the particle creation and an alternative cosmological scenario in the presence of the cosmic quatertionic field is suggested.
