Essay Abstract

Abstract: "Constancy light speed referenced to any initial frame" is one of the basic assumptions in Einstein special theory of relativity; provided with a physical mechanism will change it from just an assumption to a real natural phenomenon. Then what we got from the improving is that we could understand physical mechanism of "relativistic effect" which gives rise to relativistic mechanics. Indeed, improving physics theory by adding an appropriate mechanism is far-reaching; it could extend to Einstein general theory of relativity and quantum mechanical theory, which is then able to answer questions such as dark energy/matter, quantum entanglement, including Higgs. Finally it would pave the way to the theory of everything!

i agree with you: "Two sizes of the black hole (of vacuum medium) electrons and protons are the only two elementary particles created and floating in the sea of vacuum medium universe"

Nimit,

1) "Nowadays mainstream physicists still believe that light wave travels (propagate) without using any medium to be carrier, i.e. it can travel by itself (via mutual creation between electric and magnetic field)!"

It is difficult to understand how such an absurdity was even considered. Every physicist was introduced to the theory of waves early in their education. In every case, whether the wave was propagating in a solid, a fluid or a gas, the solid, fluid and gas were the medium by which the wave propagated, otherwise the wave could not exist. Electromagnetic (EM) waves can propagate in solids, fluids and gases (frequency dependent).

Also consider that the medium itself is not propagating, it is the disturbance in the medium at some origin that creates the wave formation, allowing the disturbance at the origin to transfer energy through a wave action. A wave that propagates as a soliton is just a more efficient phenomenon of energy transfer by wave action.

Every medium, solid, fluid or gas, has permittivity and permeability. Contemporary physicists state that EM waves propagate through 'nothing', but this 'nothing' has permittivity and permeability. It is appropriate to add a "Duh!" here.

Now on to Einstein.

1) '...In this wider sense there does of course, exist an aether; only one has to bear in mind that it does not possess any mechanical properties...'

What in the world did Einstein mean by stating, "...it does not possess any mechanical properties...."? As far as I know permittivity and permeability have never been regarded as a "mechanical property" even in solids, fluids and gases.

Your Fig. 4. "Vacuum medium space-time" is applicable only for transverse EM (TEM) waves The TEM fields have no influence at a point in the direction of the axis of propagation until the wavefront of the EM field influence that is propagating as a wave gets to that point. Keep in mind that it is "assumed" that the influence in the transverse direction is propagating at the same velocity as the wave is propagating, which is why a propagating TEM wave is represented as having a spherical shape.

    Dear Frank,

    If you accept Einstein non existence of the aether, you have to try to solve any problems which followed! This is one of many others problems which people avoid to talk about.

    Sincerely,

    Nimit

    Nimit,

    Aether or something has to exist to allow the propagation of EM waves in space or in a vacuum.

    It is Einstein's failure to insist on the existence of an aether is what has produced substantial confusion. EM waves propagate in something, and the term aether is just as good as anything. The Higgs is nothing more than a reworked aether concept.

    It seems not one agency that launches spacecraft will send one of them toward the Sun or the outer planets with an active permittivity instrument. NASA and EU countries are locked into General Relativity. Perhaps someone can convince Japan, India or China to measure permittivity off planet.

    Dear Nimit,

    "If the speed of light is constant, then light is a wave".

    You may find this proposition interesting and very relevant to your ideas concerning Einstein. You can find a mathematical proof of this in End Note II) of my essay, "The Metaphysics of Physics".

    This result shows that the Photon Hypothesis is contradicted by the CSL Postulate and establishes light as propagating through a medium as a wave. With this realization, it is easy to understand why the speed of light is constant and independent of the speed of the source and the speed of the observer.

    Best wishes,

    Constantinos

    I agree with your solid conceptual basis as you'll find in my previous essays here.

    Have you yet dealt with the knotty problems which have scuppered this direction previously, i.e.;

    A. Stellar Aberration (apparent star positions AHEAD of our orbital path not behind it) while conserving causality.

    B. The observed effects of curved space-time.

    C. The Copenhagen Interpretation of QM and the measurement problem.

    I hope you will like and agree with my own essay this year, which deals with real mechanisms in deriving QM from SR on very much the same lines as yours, and identifies the issues with mathematics which have misguided us, well covered also in Ken Wharton's essay.

    I think you may struggle to get good scores as have I due to unfamiliarity and, ironically, assumptions, but you have a good score from me. I hope you agree mine worth the same. Please do comment or question it.

    Best of luck in the competition.

    Nimit:

    You rationalize the constancy of mass independent of it's motion well. I am always bothered by including kinetic energy as "the" explanation.

    Yet, somehow the focus on motion always avoids the concomitant problem of growth. There is more to the world than physical energy.

    Perhaps you may consider?Point of essay (vote high!, thanks) is based on

    (1) Light "energy" seeks surface area of mass that mediates charge motions while

    (2) Gravity is a content of mass phenomena that seeks time to exist by growth.

    It seems your essay did not follow rules of FQXi for submission.. Good Luck!!

    Great thoughts, Nimit.

    I have such questions I have puzzled over, that relate to my essay:

    1) Is a photon of light always without mass?

    2) If something is rendered massless, does its mass increase at near light speed?

    Jim

    • [deleted]

    Dear Jim,

    1) Actually photon does have mass, but conventionally in physics it was treated as energy! The reason behind is because it is the mass of part of the vibrating medium which acts as the carrier of light wave packet (photon). This is why it was said that light cannot stop, because if it stops, then there is no light (i.e. no vibration part of medium)!

    2) There is no such thing which is - massless, because no mass (or energy) means no anything!

    By the way, it is very instructive to consider the behavior of sound wave as an analogy, indeed! Please see detail in the paper - Completed Maxwell electromagnetic field theory, in my website.

    Sincerely,

    Nimit

    Dear Nimit,

    You have a lot of questions.1). For the model of photon as a particle in fluxes of gravitons see the paper: Fedosin S.G. Cosmic Red Shift, Microwave Background, and New Particles. Galilean Electrodynamics, Spring 2012, Vol. 23, Special Issues No. 1, P. 3 - 13. About speed of light in Michelson-Morley interference experiment see Metric theory of relativity. 2). In two-solenoid experiment the energy of magnetic field is spent to work against of force repelling the solenoids. If solenoids are coincide and then the current turn on the work is done by sources of currents. 3). The vacuum medium may be fluxes of gravitons, see Fedosin S.G. Model of Gravitational Interaction in the Concept of Gravitons. Journal of Vectorial Relativity, March 2009, Vol. 4, No. 1, P.1-24. 4). Origin of matter is the same at all level of matter. See Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter and Similarity of matter levels. 6).The privileged reference frame is used also in Extended special theory of relativity. 8). Of course Lorentz transformations are connected to constancy of speed of light in inertial systems and to retarded time and position of charges in motion. But why the postulate of constancy of speed of light in inertial systems was chosen? It is simply convention which is necessary for measurements of time and lengths with the help of electromagnetic wave in all inertial systems using two-directional motion of light during of measurements. And the time dilation is absolute effect which is measured by atomic clocks. 9). I agree in that force of inertia is due to resistive reaction of vacuum medium i.e. gravitons fluxes. But `increasing of mass` is a result of the postulate of constancy of speed of light in inertial systems only. In reality mass as scalar is a constant in every inertial system, and Lorentz factor is from relativity. About the model of electron you can see in § 14 of the book: Fedosin S.G. The physical theories and infinite nesting of matter. Perm: S.G. Fedosin, 2009-2012, 858 p. ISBN 978-5-9901951-1-0.

      Dear Serqey Fedosin,

      1) The crucial problem about the graviton is that it is just a proposed hypothesis which not yet discovered!

      2) You said that - In two-solenoid experiment the energy of magnetic field is spent to work against of force repelling the solenoids. Then how could you explain in the case which both the feeding currents have the same polarity (in which the magnetic field is double)?

      3) How could you prove that - The vacuum medium may be fluxes of gravitons ?

      4) What is the mechanism, such as why and how electron attracts proton in the process of - Origin of matter is the same at all level of matter?

      The remain problems will be answer latter.

      Sincerely,

      Nimit

      Dear Serqey Fedosin,

      Here are the answers to the remained problems.

      6) How could you prove the existence of the privileged reference frame in your theory?

      8) You said that - the time dilation is absolute effect which is measured by atomic clocks. What is its physical mechanism?

      9) You said that - increasing of mass` is a result of the postulate of constancy of speed of light in inertial systems only. The problem is what is its mechanism?

      Sincerely,

      Nimit

      Dear Nimit,

      Here are my answers. 1). The gravitons are in accordance with the Le Sages theory of gravitation. The gravitons in the Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter may be particles similar to neutrino, photons and cosmic rays. But these particles are mach more less then usual particles since they are born at low levels of matter. How can we discover such particles? At the moment it is possible only predict them. 2). If two solenoids oriented in such way that they attract each other it means that the energy for such action is taken from sources of currents in the solenoids. And the energy be other in the case when the solenoids have opposite orientation. 3). The vacuum medium may be fluxes of gravitons - it is an axiom of Le Sages theory of gravitation taken without proving. 4). In the atom there are 4 forces at the electron: strong gravitation, centripetal force of rotation of substance of electron in the form of disk around the nucleus, electric force between nucleus and charged substance of electron disk, electric force of repulsion of charged substance of electron disk from its own parts. 6). The existence of the privileged reference frame is an axiom of Extended special theory of relativity. So it is not necessary to prove it. 8). The physical mechanism of time dilation may be connected with some effects. For example with the retarded time in Liénard-Wiechert potential for the charge in motion We see time dilation also in wave clocks in which light moves between two glasses perpendicular to motion of clocks. If we use convention of constancy of speed of light then we can use electromagnetic wave equation for potentials in the same form in all reference frame. 9). In reality there is not increasing of mass. The mass and the charge of particle are constant in special relativity. The more energy the more speed the more Lorentz factor but mass is constant.

        Is there Lower Limit to Velocity or Velocity Change?

        Try again....

        • [deleted]

        Dear Serqey Fedosin,

        I am not quite clear about your explanation for the two-solenoid experiment in (2)! Anyway let us discuss more detail about it as follow; when a solenoid was feed by direct current it will create magnetic field around plus neglect small amount of acting force between coil turns. Now if two ideal solenoids (with the same polarity of the feeding current) were placed together, then both magnetic field and inter- coils force will double. But if different polarity of the feeding current were applied, then both magnetic field and inter- coils force will vanish! This is what it occur in the experiment, is it right or wrong?

        Sincerely,

        Nimit

        Dear Nimit,

        I think that in the case when both solenoids coincide their common magnetic field may be zero or doubled according to polarity of their currents. It is a superposition principle for fields. Sergey Fedosin
