The Wave Equation and Spherical Time by Gary D. Simpson

Benjamin Dribus

Dear Gary,

Thanks... I got what you sent, and sent you back some further preliminary remarks. Regarding Ionescu, I never even came close to absorbing all the ideas in that paper. But there is a lot of interesting material there. Take care,

Ben

Hi Gary,

I am already somewhat familiar with your work & have given you a high Community rating. Good luck in the contest...

Best Regards,

Declan,

Thanks for taking a look. I read and rated yours early on although I did not make any comments.

Hi Gary,

It is a nicely written essay, good on you!

Question for you.

I assume you have a constant velocity for light, and time varies in direction around a sphere. Would you get the same result if you kept time constant and had velocity of light around the sphere changing, i.e. the value ct would still be the same. I think the latter is correct as I take 'time' to be caused by wave motion (time is a human construct) and that time should be held as a constant, a human reference to measure the change in wave velocity.

I also made some comments on Declan Traill's essay and would appreciate your thoughts on them too.

Cheers,

Geoff

PS - When do i get some of the homebrew, I need it!!

Further thought;

"time should be held as a constant, a human reference to measure the change in wave velocity."

This is further confused because I think wave velocity and wavelength (dimension) both must change, the frequency (time) of the matter waves remains constant. So we cannot measure the change in the light / matter wave velocity and wavelength - they are measured the same even though they change.

Geoff,

Thanks for taking the time to read and consider my essay ...

HomeBrew ... a favorite research project of mine:-) Beer is very easy to make and hard to make wrong. The little yeasties do all the work. Just two words sum it up ... clean and sterile ... get that right and the beer is great.

I am thinking that the ct product is what is important rather than either of the individual values. I am also thinking that SR will fall out very easily from the concept but I have not yet confirmed this by working through the needed derivations.

If you do not understand why your rating dropped down. As I found ratings in the contest are calculated in the next way. Suppose your rating is [math]R_1 [/math] and [math]N_1 [/math] was the quantity of people which gave you ratings. Then you have [math]S_1=R_1 N_1 [/math] of points. After it anyone give you [math]dS [/math] of points so you have [math]S_2=S_1+ dS [/math] of points and [math]N_2=N_1+1 [/math] is the common quantity of the people which gave you ratings. At the same time you will have [math]S_2=R_2 N_2 [/math] of points. From here, if you want to be R2 > R1 there must be: [math]S_2/ N_2>S_1/ N_1 [/math] or [math] (S_1+ dS) / (N_1+1) >S_1/ N_1 [/math] or [math] dS >S_1/ N_1 =R_1[/math] In other words if you want to increase rating of anyone you must give him more points [math]dS [/math] then the participant`s rating [math]R_1 [/math] was at the moment you rated him. From here it is seen that in the contest are special rules for ratings. And from here there are misunderstanding of some participants what is happened with their ratings. Moreover since community ratings are hided some participants do not sure how increase ratings of others and gives them maximum 10 points. But in the case the scale from 1 to 10 of points do not work, and some essays are overestimated and some essays are drop down. In my opinion it is a bad problem with this Contest rating process. I hope the FQXI community will change the rating process.

I am assuming that this is an informational post to all contestants?

Yes, I already understood the rating process.

No, I do not think the hidden factors associated with it should be changed. If they were changed, people would manipulate the ratings more then they do now. The best way to make it work is to simply give an honest assessment of what you think someone's essay should be rated.

By the way, I don't really care about the ratings ... I simply want for an idea to be considered.

The honesty and the universal love are the only things which rests to us in fact. The kindness as a torch of evidence. The sincere heart is so important.

To be or not to be, that is the question after all !!!

Hi Gary,

nice essay, I'll give you a high rate. Please see my essay about cyclic time, I think you will find it intresring.
