Hi Vladimir,

I'm doing better, thanks.

I agree with Einstein in toto. To eliminate observer entanglement eliminates spacetime--and to eliminate spacetime eliminates the possibility of locality.

A soliton is a self-reinforcing wave that overcomes the resistance of dispersion in a medium. That requires time. Sure, ol' man river might keep rolling along, without ever telling us his secrets ... as you acknowledge, Einstein's quest was to know the thoughts of "the Old One ... the rest are details", including the origin of ol' man river.

Now, while solitons are solutions to non-linear equations, they are dependent on conditions, and so cannot be fundamental. I suggest that the conditions under which neutrinos can decay into solitons include time dilation, released in a heat bath up to a threshold of decoherence.

In other words, The Old One is speaking continuously, on a very specific frequency and in a compressed (time dilated) message. One doesn't have to be a believer to get it.

Best,

Tom

Gary,

That's an interesting question. Let's talk about the question from this angle: Would you agree that "sentience" is equal to "harmony'?

Hi Edwin,

Certainly, it agrees with Majorana, insofar as "self-interacting" is identical to "self-reinforcing", as a neutrino particle, converted to soliton wave, has become.

The LASER-generated neutrino beam should generate sufficient heat, I think.

Kevin Brown is the best. I haven't read all his mathpage essays, and I bought the book, just in case of zombie apocalypse. :-)

Best,

Tom

Oooh, and a zombie just took a bite of my score. Hide your brains.

Hi Tom

Glad you are doing better - so am I (chemo).

My idea about neutrinos being solitons obviously needs fleshing out. But why is time-dependence needed if the soliton just moves, like a particle from A to B in various states of an absolute universe? From your remarks on my fqxi essay page I take it you - very understandably - wish to stick to the tried and true Einsteinian spacetime universe. Who can blame you given my sketchy if not flighty suggestions for a rudimentary alternative? (muttered as I exit: ...and yet it is absolute :)

Best, Vladimir

    Thomas,

    Time grows short, so I am reviewing those I've read to see if I have rated them. Yours I did on 3/20. Bad accounting and short memory.

    Hope you enjoyed the interchange of ideas as much as I did.

    Awww, I didn't know you were taking chemo treatments, Vladimir. Wishing you better health!

    Will reply later.

    Vladimir:

    I suspect that few if any among us have examined our biases and hidden assumptions as thoroughly as we can, or ought to.

    Fear, or conviction, stops us at some point, and we rest our arguments. That's the limit of anyone's competence.

    As you suggest, relativity has physical, testable consequences. One realizes, as an observer, that what one observes is necessarily distant from its source, or else "The physical world is 'cock-a-doodle-do'" as Einstein put it. We assume that the distance has a limit, a point at which the world becomes objective, because we say that's what "objective" means.

    Maybe, however, the world is too close to be objective.

    Be well,

    Tom

    Dear Sirs!

    Physics of Descartes, which existed prior to the physics of Newton returned as the New Cartesian Physic and promises to be a theory of everything. To tell you this good news I use «spam».

    New Cartesian Physic based on the identity of space and matter. It showed that the formula of mass-energy equivalence comes from the pressure of the Universe, the flow of force which on the corpuscle is equal to the product of Planck's constant to the speed of light.

    New Cartesian Physic has great potential for understanding the world. To show it, I ventured to give "materialistic explanations of the paranormal and supernatural" is the title of my essay.

    Visit my essay, you will find there the New Cartesian Physic and make a short entry: "I believe that space is a matter" I will answer you in return. Can put me 1.

    Sincerely,

    Dizhechko Boris

    Dear Ray

    Thank you for your commisseration- so far so good!

    I have read your defence of Einstein and fear it is lost on me I have capacity only for understanding one world-system at a time!

    The distinction you make between a distant information source and local experience, each emitted or absorbed at different rates is too foreign to my mindset and the model I have adopted. In that model everything is connected through the 'clockwork' of the lattice. Motion at A is transmitted node to node to B, whether B is sentient, living, or neither. Another way of thinking of it is to expand the reference frame to include all of the Universe and within that frame everything is absolute and classical. It is only when an observer is introduced, by no means necessary for example when two black hokes interact that relativistic effects kick in ... for that observer only!

    Do not mind me - best wishes in your work. Be well.

    Vladimir
