Much Ado About Nothing by Peter Jackson

Frank

Mixing between particle kinetic states or streams is the core of physical Inertial Frame Transitions in the DFM. The Navier-Stokes (unsolvable) magnetohydrodynamic equations apply to all shock turbulence. But the real revalation is applying this mechanism to the 'Transition Zone' between Maxwells near and far field terms for emitters (and receivers, and indeed all refractive planes). [Where the 'poorly understood' non-linear optics effects appear and Snel's Law fails].

Light is scattered at c locally by each electron. Ergo, the shock 'kinetic state mixing zone' is a 'boundary' between frames that enacts the transformation c' = c, (c locally each side). It does so via the quantum mechanism of coupling (absorption) and scattering, to produce all the effects we see, including implementing the postulates of SR. i.e. Unification of physics. This simple solution may indeed be so much of a shock it can't even be recognised!

The falsification is in the way this 'Discrete Field' mechanism resolves every paradox and anomaly in the book. I'll check out the photonic references in your paper, but plasmons may be a bit peripheral to that, though the surface magneto optic and (electro optic) Kerr effects (SMOKE) are at last explained, as is ellipticity.

Let me know if you can assimilate the mechanisms kinetics and implications.

I agree OAM is poorly understood. Is there anything that's not!? Perhaps think of a wavefront quantized and a plasmon as an 'overall shape' which may contain internal oscillations at a smaller scale.

An analogy; A jet of water is fired into a hot tub. Within the water at rest in the frame of the jet light does c/n (140,000miles/sec.) in the jet frame.

Light in the bit of water at rest in the hot tub frame is doing c/n with respect to the tub (140,000miles/sec).

Now the physical explanation of the LT. The light reaching the particles of the water in the jet is absorbed, then re-emitted at c by each particle, as at a lens.

Ergo; c' = c via a Quantum Mechanism, = Unification.

In a near vacuum the process takes a little more time and space. There's plenty out there.

The problem with this solution is that our assumptions get in the way, making it unfamiliar, so it remains the elephant in the room, too big to recognise as the elephant we're searching for. Can you make out it's shape?

Can anybody?

I was astonished you found 'CSL logically explained' by the Quantum Mechanisms in my essay, but very pleased. Unfortunately the logical kinetic relationships seem too complex for most to penetrate and assimilate in application. The speed we have to read at to keep up with all the essays is a problem when concepts are multi faceted and unfamiliar.

But I've just found and looked over your MTR (your direct link didn't work) and it seems you had an unfair advantage; you'd found similar conclusions already, though analysed from a more complete mathematical, if less physical, basis.

I had also just to 'speed read' for now, but initially assess your theory as excellently derived, proved and presented and far more complete in many areas than the DFM. I have not yet penetrated it's inner depths, but I hope and think I have additional and complimentary aspects, so some merging is possible to the greater benefit. You may wish to explore other areas of the DFM, i.e. the emergent astronomical aspects discussed in Robert Oldershaw and Hope he's blogs etc. I'd be honoured if you did and will pass you some links.

I'm impressed you've established a place on wikiversity. How serious has your theory been taken by mainstream so far?

Best wishes

Perhaps, or maybe we can be charitable and assume he is busy or on holiday.

Have you analysed the important kinetic effects emergent from the mechanism in my essay yet? It seems I may have made it too difficult to do so. Do you think so?

There is much we agree on, but I read your paper and find it departs from or does not refer to the logical space-time structure mine uses, rather reverts to maths without establishing the mechanism.

I may have misunderstood parts, perhaps due to your imperfect use of a foreign language in explanations such as; "the time required for the light beam to pass the length of the moving train for the earth observer is independent of the direction of the velocity of the train compared to the direction of transmitting the light beam (Robertson [33]). Thus, if the light beam is sent inside the moving train from the end to the front -at the direction of the velocity- in this case for the earth observer according to his clock the required time

separation for the light beam to pass the length of the moving train is ∆t..."

I find refraction and c/n of all light at the train windows and medium, and thus invariant t to the 'Earth observer', but APPARENT (not real local) c+v. This is explained conceptually, ontologically and mechanistically, i.e. with no mechanical abstraction, and rigorously using the rules of logic. It meets observation, but I can't seem to renormalise (map) some of your results back to reality to do so.

Perhaps you can say if you get the same result as me for the classic 'lightning flashes at each end of the train. I find the observers on the train and embankment see them simultaneously, (at 1st order) but are not opposite each other when they do so. (by D= train v during propagation time t).

Although many other areas seem common to us, I also find up to apparent 10c for pulses in quasar jets (M87) from Earth but with no violation of local c due to collimation. This does seem contrary to your own explanation, or am I mistaken? Do you have any real mechanistic analogues for your maths?

The train paradox evaporates when optics is used from the text books. There may be an analogy with your vacuum energy, because Doppler shift is also an energy shift. Perhaps you could see how close your mathematical solution comes to describing this underlying physical explanation, which has 100% logic and experimental proof.

In the rest frame of the train, light from the flashes front and rear enters the glass screens, does c/n (n=1.55) in the glass, re enters the air and does c/n in air (n=1.0003) or c in the vacuum (n=1) so in a short time both reach the observer sitting at the centre of the train simultaneously. All childs play OK?

The light from the flashes also heads towards the observer at rest half way between them on the embankment. It does c/n wrt the air (or c in vacuum), so a short time later also arrive at the observer simultaneously. Equally childs play Yes?

But do both observers see the flashes simultaneously. Of course they do. But during propagation the observer in the train has moved with the train slightly, so is of course no longer precisely opposite the other observer. No problem.

So do they see each other light up simultaneously? Yes, slightly after they themselves are lit up due again to the propagation time from one to the other.

So where than is the paradox? Why do we need length contraction and time dilation??? The contraction and dilation of energy (wavelength) is the Doppler shift of the signals in the train implemented at the windscreens, because they re-emit light at c wrt themselves. So the light from ahead is seen by the train observer blue shifted, and the light from behind red shifted, affecting energy, but of the light itself, not somehow of 'the vacuum'.

Can you find any error of simple logic and the laws of optics in that solution? Agreed, both SR and QM are better interpreted, and consistent.

Eckard hopes others will join this discussion on his blog, I do too, and also re-post this part to mine (first part 19th Aug in Eckards).

EB; "I do not understand why and how Snell's law is recovered. What is an incident medium? Isn't rather a wave possibly incident? Which KRrefraction experiments and which KRrefraction effect do you refer to? Do you really maintain that refraction matters in the Michelson Morley experiment?"

1. M&M. Yes. I've found that probably nothing matters more in unravelling the paradoxes than the process at refractive and reflective planes, and it's effects. I have a paper just accepted for publication discussing this and explaining the Kantor and B&B interferometer anomalies. The Maxwell near/far field 'Transition Zone' (TZ) fine structure at the surface of all matter controls the process. I's equivalent to Earth's EM 'shock' (see Kingsley essay Fig of 'Cluster' findings), and Feist's detector discussed above, where light changes speed by relative v to the new local medium c/n. Which is why it's found to be c in all media.

2. Kinetic Revere Refraction (KRR). ALL experiments find the same. (Ko, Chuang 1977, Mackay, Lakhtakia 2006). When observed from an incident frame, light at near normal incidence passing into a co-moving medium appears to be 'dragged' by the medium (Grzegorczyk 2006). Snel's Law is then famously violated by the relative media motion. But when the light 'path' in the medium is observed from at rest in the MEDIUM frame, it's found that the REAL path is REVERSED.聽

It is this acceleration by the observer into the new frame (and thus at rest in the propagating medium) that recovers Snel's Law from his new frame.聽

3. Now put the two together. In the bizarre 'non linear optics' effects Snel's Law is similarly violated at the TZ, Fresnel refraction becomes what is termed 'Fraunhofer refraction', and frequncy changes. The TZ position is wavelength dependent for aerial emitters, but within 1 micron of the surface of refractive and reflective planes.聽

The solution explains why moving mirrors reflect light at c wrt the incident medium NOT wrt the mirror. In fact the initial reflection off the protons is at c wrt the mirror, but the electrons form a magnetohydrodynamic shock (as Kinsgsly graph) with the 'air' side of the turbulent TZ at rest in the air frame, so re-emitting at c with respect to themselves, as may be expected. All then falls into place.

The 'incident medium is the 'approach' medium, which may be a near vacuum, but none the less the 'outer layer' TZ electrons are propagated in that frame (explaining photoionization) and re-emit in that frame.

When I test that model on the dozens of astronomical anomalies in existence, they all fall into place like a giant jigsaw puzzle; re-ionization, aberration, ellipticity, IFR, Pioneers/Flyby anomalies, galaxy recycling, lensing, kSZ effect, intrinsic rotation, singularities, quasar jets, frames last scattered, CMB anisotropic flow, curved space-time, the LT, twins paradox, the list is almost endless. My essay gives the simple kinetic logic. It may at first seem complex, but the only issue is unfamiliarity.

Do ask about or query any part.

Peter,聽

The issue is indeed of key importance. Shtyrkov (in Russian) tried an alternative explanation. The late Marmet's criticism of the Michelson/Morley experiment was a bit confusing and possibly not entirely correct.聽

If only you were more careful. You are persistently writing Snel's law. The usual spelling Snell refers to the Latinized name Snellius, cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snell%27s_law .

Didn't I point you a while ago to near vs. far field? Wikipedia has been focusing on some peculiarities of antennas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_and_far_field which are irrelevant for light and sound. My essay reveals the importance of directivity. Feist's transducer worked like a phased array or a collimator.聽

More tomorrow,

Eckard

The near-far field transition zone is far more important I think than we realise. Yes you did direct me to a link to an aspect, which I thank you for as it did indeed caused me to explore it's more general application as a phenomena than I'd understood, and it's central importance to the process of implementing local c at ALL scales and both at emitter and receiver.

It was discussed in an accepted paper currently awaiting publication, resolving the anomalies remaining from the disproof of Kantor's emission theory experiment. but I expanded that part after more research, particularly of the Kerr and non linear optics effects. The antenna aspect is just a glimpse.

As another astronomer I'm familiar with Dutchman Willebrord Snellius and commonly use the original 'Snel' (as also referred in the Wiki article). I accept the double 'l' has now become more common, but not 'lack of care'. Should we 'dumb down' all spelling to common modern use and U.S. English? Perhaps I suppose.

I agree Marmet's 'n' based red shift via coupling; "It is found that in ordinary conditions, the energy loss per collision is about 10^-13 of the energy of the incoming photon." (1988) for the Doppler effect, but he was simply incomplete.

One other effect is from the lateral motion of the particles during interaction. The other is more complex involving scale expansion of space combined with amplitude reduction (sphere expansion) giving an apparent red-shift. I won't try to explain it in detail here but it also refutes acceleration of expansion.聽

These taken as a set (with other aspects) the 3D jigsaw puzzle of nature comes together quite perfectly! I appreciate you are one of the few helping the model with attempted falsification.

Note I also posted a reply in the string above (below Aug 19).

I look forward to your 'more tomorrow'

Peter

Peter,

I consider our present discussion innovative, rigorous, and related to a still not yet for good settled key question. Tomorrow is over. I apologize for being too short of time for providing a convincing reply. Wave phenomena are utterly manifold in acoustics, optics, and electro-magnetics.

You pointed me to the almost forgotten Wallace Kantor. This led me to what Ekhard Preikschat wrote on ether theory during the recent 17th annual NPA meeting. I hope, Valev, Perez, and others will join our discussion.

Best,

Eckard

Jeff

Thanks. We give very different proofs of very similar things. I'll comment on your blog, but I turned from maths to ontological construction testing for the reason you give. Ken Wharton also exposes our foolhardy reliance on maths.

You might test this model; The axial anisotropic CMB flow is a scaled up version of a quasar jet. The CMB anisotropy itself has been resolved by computer into a helix, which precisely matches the quasar model, as the outflow jets from AGN's.

I have shown that AGN's are part of a galactic recycling process, re-ionizing all the dead stars and planetary matter to re-start the process with an open spiral on a perpendicuar axis. The common 'Kinetic decoupling' (perpedicular halo rotation) is thereby also finally explained along with other effects. Take a look at Centurus A (NASA HST) for a scale model of the universe.

Expansion is thus not accelerating but mainly reducing, except from the other end of the axis to the 'great attractor' (nonsense of course) in the direction of Leo. I've determined galaxies recycle every ~10-12Gyrs (a massive quasar peak is at z=1.7) so our 2nd iteration of the Milky Way is in middle age. A better analysis of the CMB anisotropy might constrain the same factor for our universe. (There may then be infinitely many numerically as well as temporally). If you're interested I'll link you to a past paper (new one in review).

Last technical point; I've found algerbaic vector apace cannot model motion as it's based on geometry where motion is an invalid concept, but I do know that to get a 'plus' sign hit; ampersand hash 43 semicolon. Like this; +
