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.

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.

    John,

    I admire your deep analyzing.

    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.

      Regards,

      John M

      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.

        Liquid spacetime? Am I seeing double? Came across this -

        Liquid spacetime: A very slippery superfluid, that's what spacetime could be like

        "Likewise, according to some models, general relativity says nothing about the "atoms" that make up spacetime but describes the dynamics of spacetime as if it were a "classical" object. Spacetime would therefore be a phenomenon "emerging" from more fundamental constituents, just as water is what we perceive of the mass of H2O molecules that form it... Stefano Liberati, professor at the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste, and Luca Maccione, a research scientist at the Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich, have devised innovative ways of using the tolls of elementary particle physics and high energy astrophysics to describe the effects that should be observed if spacetime were a fluid. Liberati and Maccione also proposed the first observational tests of these phenomena. Their paper has just been published in the journal Physical Review Letters"

        Hmmm.... the stone the builders refused coming back to be the head cornerstone?

        If spacetime is made of "atoms", then a collection of them would be a spacetime 'line', a collection of spacetime lines would be a spacetime 'surface', and a collection of spacetime surfaces would be a spacetime 'body'. So the geometric point is not a fiction afterall?

          There is no unification of physics, unless every property of observable physics has the potential of simultaneously and inclusively being modeled in a common system to include: instantaneous qualities of quantum entanglement, decoherence, duality, fringe patterns, gravity, electro-magnetism, forces, red shift, subatomic particles, dark energy, alternate dimensional spaces, ... everything.

          Here is my stab at an all inclusive model using an alternate method that potentially allows for the separation of time and space; i.e. warping space/time relationships.

          Axiom of Choice potentially defines the causal limits of which mathematics can be defined.

          Using an extension of Axiom of Choice, proposed is a method to model relativity to define the causal limits of physics; non-relativistic quantum causality.

          "Axiom of Choice extended to include Relativity"

          http://vixra.org/pdf/1402.0041v1.pdf

          Sub-atomic particles are formed from causal interactions of adjacency to causal singularities (physics constants) that produce localization of causal influence as discrete aliasing of quantum event interrelated systems. As an inadequate visualization, similar to crystal growth forming in a causal media moderated as a consequence of distributed impurities (singularities).

          Proposed is that a quantum entanglement is the result of two similar vast systems of causality that differ by one or a few causal states.

          Present quantum computers are relativistic, and therefore operate as similar vast systems of synchronized quantum causality, and NOT the more fundamental form of non-relativistic quantum causality. This fundamentally models an explanation for decoherence.

          I've kept my compendium of relationships considered. But realized that if we do learn to manipulate space/time relationships, who is going to have control over those tools? Who will be excluded from having access to these tools? Who will decide what the tools will be used for? Who will decide who lives and dies in the Universe?

          Presently, the majority of Americans have significant issues with Common Sense, let alone correlating vast systems to predict consequences for a thousand years. Professors until now have not been able to define nor teach common sense.

          Common Sense = Self-esteem(group related skills) Logic Predicting Consequences

          Activists until now have not been able to usefully define Corruption.

          Corruption = unethical/illegal allocation of resources and/or opportunities

          So with these relationships we can now work to eliminate all corruption to support the broad utilization of space/time manipulation.

          and to build the economic structures to support broad physics research and related experimentation.

          http://vixra.org/pdf/1205.0021v1.pdf

          We do NOT have a system to monitor for and eliminate ALL corruption.

          Top/Down method to detect and eliminate all corruption; simultaneously Maximizing Freedoms AND Maximizing Security, not have one at the expense of the other

          http://eliminate-all-corruption.pbworks.com

          Everyone should be allowed to own a nuclear weapon (manipulate space/time) if they maintain the proper safety protocols. But with a tool to rip open the fabric of space, we need organized vigilance against human error and lack of broadly considered judgement.

          Hoping that the technologies developed will be used peaceably is irrational.

          http://www.darpa.mil/Our_Work/MTO/Programs/Quantum_Entanglement_Science_and_Technology_(QUEST).aspx

          The military is making billions of dollars available for research leading to products utilizing quantum entanglement which is a form of space/time manipulation; i.e. instantaneous.

          In a causal system, speed is a moderated product of space/time. Anything not related to space, or not related to time, or neither related to space nor time, is instantaneous. Or more accurately, non-relativistic, not of observable physics.

          Akinbo,

          Liberati's conception is sub atomic, but same effect. He also produced the nominated 'paper of the year' last year which agreed with the DFM's logical interpretation of SR. http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.5795

          It's 'dark energy', which jokingly christened as 'ground comprathene' a few years ago as all we lacked was a name. But the properties are subtly different from the old lumniferous ether. It can't 'modulate' light speed to local c, so 'condenses' particles (initially just paired vortices) to do so.

          If each then re-emits at c in it's own local 'centre of mass rest frame' all the properties of physics (as below plus the rest) logically emerge. The last 'block' was QM, now unlocked by the same mechanism in my essay by Bob and Alice.

          Do you like romances?

          Peter

          Dear all,

          Physics is about our relationship to the universe; physicality. Everything we "know" holds only as long as we are in the picture as observer. The question here is; what is the universe in itself without us watching?

          As stated many times above, physics cannot answer this question. This is the domain of metaphysics; the art of removing the observer from the equation.

          Find the substance; that which exists by itself and is not created by our perception. (Everything we perceive is PERCEPTION or an experience. The opposite of experience is SUBSTANCE.

          There need to be only one substance in the universe. Space is an integration we keep around in order to be able to do physics, but time is what makes everything. There is only time left.

          The descriptive system we need is based on only one substance, dynamic, so that many variations may emerge from it. (Only one substance may operate logically on itself and its variations; no apples and oranges!)

          Look at the equations; the rate of passage of time (1/T) makes pretty much everything, right in front of us. It is the basis, substratum, foundation of everything.

          What is time? Time is the spontaneous attempt at the resolution of an illogical situation; existence of something. A contradiction to the rule of non-contradiction delayed by its only possible way-out existent; TIME.(see my FQXI essays)

          Marcel,

            Zeeya,

            Logic is the set of rules that guides mathematics and science in its various theories.Logic is scale independant, valid at quantum and at cosmological scales.

            The universe finds its evolution in the resolution of logical contradictions, starting with that of existence. Finding what the universe is made of and what makes it evolve by itself are the real questions. After that, we still can do physics. We will just know exactly what we are doing and what part we play in the picture and which part the the universe plays.

            Marcel,
