Registration of the reaction of matter to an external irreversible process

The paper presents results of laboratory studies carried out to study the possible existence of the remote reaction of matter to various types of external irreversible processes. The mass and density characteristics of two groups of substances (anthracite, coal, peat, graphite, duraluminum, and fir shavings in one group, and distilled water, commercial salt and sugar, and air in the other) subjected to various types of irreversible reactions (e.g., evaporation of liquid nitrogen at room temperature, processes of the human metabolism, etc.) were investigated. It is shown that the entire combination of the change dynamics properties of the mass and density of the substances, as well as an observed aftereffect (continuation of the mass and density changes after the stimulus is removed), is indicative of the change of mass not as a measure of the quantity of the matter but as a measure of its gravitational (inertial) property.
