Alternative Models of Reality

Alan, if the only response you have is that "It's just common sense" when the whole world knows that common sense is not common I will not direct my queries to you. But since you are not the forum administrator I reserve the right to direct my queries to others who may be more receptive and are ready to rebut any arguments against their preferred hypothesis.

I think time itself is only metaphysical and stays the same, whereas the physical EVIDENCE of an emission somewhere which was 1 second long, can be tampered with as much as you please as you're only tampering with the 'evidence', not the original fact.

Alice,

"the EVIDENCE of an emission can be changed." Brilliant! But then I would say that as I've been trying to get that message and it's implications across for years (see my essays etc). Great to have an ally.

The implications are not fatal to Relativity, indeed they render the postulates logical. But a spatial constraint is put on the current 'interpretation', resulting in a 'discrete field' model (infinitely many inertial systems in relative motion). If you are standing beside me but then decide to move towards a light source, you DO change the speed of the light your brain measures against time, but not until it reaches your own very local inertial system! (in that case less than 1 micron from the surface of your eye lens, which is Maxwell's near/far field TZ). In the case of the sun it's ~100AU's (the heliopause).

But it seems that convincing those blindly dedicated to SR that length contraction and time dilation are simply Doppler shifts may take as long as the last revolution took Copernicus!

Onwards and upwards. Best of luck.

Oh my Dieu!

There's evidence of a build up of structure and subsequent implosion before the big bang:

Scientists Find Imprint of Universe That Existed Before the Big Bang

The new work comes from the Tachyonic Retrospective Inferences of Cosmologically Extrapolated Preconditions, or TRICEP, imager. The team managed to discern even fainter swirls, called AF modes: traces of deflatons (pronounced DEF-luh-tons) that brought the previous incarnation of our universe crashing down. "Just imagine a helium balloon shrinking over time as the gas escapes," says TRICEP spokesman Doug Neidermeyer, a cosmologist at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York. "Now imagine a universe-sized helium balloon deflating in a trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a quadrillionth of a second. Not so easy to imagine, is it?"

Shucks! It's an April Fool's article apparently. Maybe it will turnout to predict future findings.

Alice,

I agree with Peter, it's brilliant remark. I made change in one paragraph of my essay, adding this statement. Hope you don't mind.

"But physicists and scientists should have recognized that time has no role in the process of creating Gravity. (... time itself is only metaphysical and stays the same, whereas the physical EVIDENCE of an emission somewhere which was 1 second long, can be tampered with as much as you please as you're only tampering with the 'evidence', not the original fact - Alice Lewis.) As of today, I admit that picturing a "curvature of time" still escapes my wildest imagination."

Thanks,

Dieu

Peter,

You are not alone, may be just several steps ahead of me.

Best Regards,

Dieu

Ouch, that April Fool's joke sounds an awful lot like what I wrote in my paper (see below March 17)! Oh well.

dieu,

"curvature of time" still escapes my wildest imagination" Try JM rotation from my 2012 essay; each electron or 'pure plasma' particle interaction imprts a tiny rotation, which increases with any lateral motion. There are other technical terms for it, which create lovely curves in GRIN lenses. The words are; 'refraction' and 'diffraction'.

Densities are always greater closer to matter. It should work nicely. Extinction distances are long in space, and multi refringence is found during the process. (It's mostly in the last 3 essays, as is the distinction of time signals from time itself). Hows the visualisation of that?

best regards

Peter

Dieu,

I've been taking potshots at the notion of spacetime as well. The point I make is as to why time is included as a dimension with space in the first place. As individual beings, we experience change as a singular sequence of events and so perceive this effect call 'time' of the present moment 'moving' from past to future events. This is the basis for the idea of history and thus human civilization, so it is a profound view. Newton considered time to be an absolute flow, but the problem evident by Einstein's time is that there is no way to measure an absolute flow of time. That in fact the same or similar clocks will record different rates under different conditions. So much of the dilemma leading up to the theory of relativity was how to explain this variability of the passage of time.

The point I keep making is that time is not the present moving from past to future, in some larger four dimensional reality, but the changing configuration of what exists, which turns future into past. For example, the earth isn't moving/existing along some fourth dimension, or universal flow, from yesterday to tomorrow. rather tomorrow becomes yesterday because the earth turns.

This makes time, as change, an effect of action. There is only this activity in space, the contraction of mass and expansion of radiation, with time as a measure of the change it creates. This makes time similar to temperature, not space. Time is to temperature what frequency is to amplitude. We think of temperature as a cumulative effect of many actions, yet that is exactly what we find, but cannot figure out about time. There are lots of things changing, yet we cannot find how to measure the overall rate. There is just this dynamic reality with lots of things moving about and it creates an overall effect and the only overall measure would be a cumulative average, just like with temperature.

It also resolves the issue of determinism vs. probability. When we treat time as that passage from a determined past into a probabilistic future, some think it must mean the future is already determined, since the laws only yield a singular outcome. Then some think the past remains probabilistic and must create alternate realities with every possibility, in a multiworlds situation.

Now if we view it from the other direction, the process by which events happen and thus future probability becomes past actuality, it makes much more sense. The laws may be deterministic, but the total input into any event only occurs with the event, so the occurrence of the event is what determines it.

Gravity then emerges as the opposite effect of radiation and thus is a cumulative contraction of energy into mass, rather than just a property of mass. They can't find that dark matter on the perimeter of galaxies, but they do find lots of cosmic rays and other properties on that border between light and matter. What galaxies do not radiate away as light, they shoot out the poles as cosmic jets and then eventually this all cools enough to start coalescing again. Convection is what we call this expansion/contraction cycle, here in the surface of this world.

Reality is made of particles and fields. As a result, reality does not make sense. Even if there were a mathematical model that could describe all of reality, it would be so unwieldy, incomprehensible and error prone, that it would be useless. There is also mounting evidence that paranormal phenomena will carry the day. The evidence for hauntings, ghosts, near death experiences, reincarnation and the afterlife is growing. The principle of parsimony will ultimately be the longest road; the shortest road is to follow the evidence.

Dieu,

Thank you. I've found that while many people are seeking ever more complex solutions to ever more abstract issues, a lot of the basics are ignored.

Data and correct observation of reality supersede models.

I have reported to the spiritual forum that the scientific community is avoiding and ignoring the evidence and the data related to spirit/spiritual phenomena. It is not a failure of these research areas (NDE's, ghost/spirit phenomena, reincarnation) to provide evidence, but rather an inability of the skeptic community to come to terms with the evidence.

I have a simple question. If you do discover a physics ultimate theory of everything would you withhold it, i.e. not publish, to keep humanity out of trouble? Granted it may solve many of today's problems but are humanities' problems really due to under-utilization science or are they due to billions of people being subject to the whims of tyrannical rulers and tyrannical governments? Those rulers and governments will certainly misuse your TOE?

k.k.

"would you withhold it, i.e. not publish, to keep humanity out of trouble?

Sure. Nobody would recognise it anyway, ...but just in case.

Next review is planned for 2020.

Konst K,

No. The world has changed, the information age allows ideas to be exchanged in seconds it does not rely upon chance findings of a paper languishing in a pay to view journal in an inaccessible academic library. I have been sharing memes on this site for a number of years.

The world is changing. I think that is what this years essay competition

"How Should Humanity Steer the Future?" is about. Are you entering?

I don't know if I'm entering but the point of the question is the tyrants and tyrannical governments have the capabilities to use science against people. If the NSA can spy on everyone on the planet why should we think they or some group like them wouldn't misuse a TOE to do worse?

Hi, I have created an alternate model of reality.

There are interesting coincidences that make me believe my model works for our reality. Let me share this one and see if it makes sense to folks.

String Theory and subquantum scale atoms

(Human scale mass 57.768 kg)/(neutron mass 1.675 x 10-27 kg) = 3.449 x 1028

(Human scale mass 57.768 kg)(3.449 x 1028) = (Solar System mass 1.992 x 1030 kg)

Human consciousness resides midway in scale between quantum & cosmic scale masses.

Diameter of 1.992 x 1030 kg concentrated in a sphere at atomic densities equals ~ 7.6 x 108 m

Neutron diameter ~ 2.0 x 10-15 m

ﾂ･L = Length scaling factor between the quantum and cosmic scales = 7.6 x 108 m/2.0 x 10-15 m

ﾂ･L = 3.8 x 1023

In string theory particles are perceived as highly localized vibration of Planck length strings.

lp = (ﾄｧGc-3)1/2 = [(1.054 5717 x 10-34 Js)(6.6742 x 10-11 Nm2/kg2)(299 792 458 m/s)-3]1/2

lp = 1.62 x 10-35 m

From the Bohr model of the Hydrogen atom and in particular quantized angular momentum:

mvnrn = nﾄｧ

Combined with the de Broglie relation: ﾎｻ = h/p

The relation has long been known: 2ﾏ\rn = nh/pn = nﾎｻ

The smallest atomic orbital circumferences are the ground state Helium shells (1s2 orbital) of the heaviest atoms. The diameter of the helium shell for Radon (z = 86) ~ 0.02 ﾃ.... This shell has an average circumference = (2ﾏ\)(1 x 10-12 m) = 6.28 x 10-12 m, which is also the smallest ground state wavelength of an atomic orbital in the human scale.

Length scaling factor: ﾂ･L = 3.8 x 1023

A self-similar Radon atom existing at the subquantum scale will have a self-similar subquantum scale 1s2 orbital circumference measured relative to the human scale:

6.28 x 10-12 m/3.8 x 1023 = 1.7 x 10-35 m

Vibrating string particles correspond to subquantum scale atoms.

Strings are subquantum scale atomic oscillators.
