Abstract: The gravity-related model of spontaneous wave function collapse, a longtime hypothesis, damps the massive Schr"odinger Cat states in quantum theory. We extend the hypothesis and assume that spontaneous wave function collapses are responsible for the emergence of Newton interaction. Superfluid helium would then show significant and testable gravitational anomalies.
