Dear Ch.Bayarsaikhan,

Thanks for you interesting in our Essay. We are happy and honored that you appreciate our research work.

Concerning your interesting comments, maybe that GWs maybe little bit different from the reality of nature. Let us hope in consolidating the GW astronomy which started with the LIGO detections in order to have more infos. We agree that considering whether the foundation of the nature is a physical vacuum medium or an elementary particle is a very important issue. We also think that discovering an exact mechanism of gravitational interaction if fundamental also concerning the big hope to unify physics laws.

Thanks again, we wish you good luck in the Contest.

Cheers, Ch.

Dear Christian Corda, et al.,

Thank you for your essay. As an astrophysicist working on cosmology initiatives I find this essay fascinating and interesting. I am not entirely sure how it relates to the core question at hand though? Perhaps I have missed a key point and may need to have another look. In any event I wanted to wish you well in the contest and let you know that topic notwithstanding how much I have enjoyed your essay.

Regards,

Robert

    COMMENT OF THE AUTHOR NATHAN O. SCHMIDT

    Hello all!

    Thanks for your comments and discussions. For those of you who may be confused about the relevance of this essay, I will attempt an additional clarification.

    Numerous scientists (ex. Einstein, Rosen, and others, etc.) were aimed at the goal of establishing a unified field theory of physics; they spent decades trying to determine which mathematical laws correctly encode physical laws via the methods of science and mathematics. These scientists were wandering towards the goal of unification.

    In this wandering, many of these mathematical laws, such as those representing gravitational waves and predicting their existence, were a subject of great dispute and great confusion. Hence, the mathematical laws predicting the existence of gravitational waves were considered to be mindless by many scientists. Moreover, the dispute and confusion surrounding gravitational waves was mindless in its own right (i.e. based on the evidence cited in the essay, it seems that Einstein would have agreed to this).

    The mindless mathematical laws characterizing gravitational waves combined with the wandering and dispute over the existence vs. non-existence of gravitational waves created a new goal for scientists aiming to unify physics: to prove or disprove the existence of gravitational waves via theory and experiment. Thereafter, during further wandering towards the goal of unification, scientists also found themselves wandering towards the goal of resolving the dispute of gravitational waves; the goal of assessing the validity of gravitational waves and the goal of assessing the predictive capabilities of the theory of general relativity are in alignment with the goal of unification.

    After additional years of wandering through the mindless mathematical laws surrounding gravitational waves, scientists eventually found themselves creating LIGO in order to hunt for gravitational waves and to probe systems of massive objects throughout the universe (as predicted by the theory of general relativity). Consequently, the mindless mathematical laws surrounding gravitational waves gave rise to the aim and intent of creating LIGO and detecting the event GW150914.

    This is a prime example of how mindless mathematical laws give rise to aims and intention in the real world.

    Sorry Peter, but still the link on the Tidal Prediction Tables does not work. Can you send me them privately via e-mail at the address cordac.galilei@gmail.com?

    Thanks and regards, Ch.

    Dear Authors,

    Thank you very much for your clarification. I appreciate your interesting and creative interpretation of the question posed by this essay contest. As mentioned before, I enjoyed the work you have done in your essay on GW150914 and see the example you give of how the "mindless" Einstein Field Equations lead people to construct LIGO to perform an experimental verification. (Without the EFE, there would be no LIGO.)

    Thank you also for commenting on my essay on my forum and I really appreciate the time you have taken to read and rate it.

    Regards,

    Robert

    Dear Christian Corda, Reza Katebi, and Nathan O. Schmidtl

    If you believed in the principle of identity of space and matter of Descartes, then your essay would be even better. There is not movable a geometric space, and is movable physical space. These are different concepts.

    I inform all the participants that use the online translator, therefore, my essay is written badly. I participate in the contest to familiarize English-speaking scientists with New Cartesian Physic, the basis of which the principle of identity of space and matter. Combining space and matter into a single essence, the New Cartesian Physic is able to integrate modern physics into a single theory. Let FQXi will be the starting point of this Association.

    Don't let the New Cartesian Physic disappear! Do not ask for himself, but for Descartes.

    New Cartesian Physic has great potential in understanding the world. To show potential in this essay I risked give "The way of the materialist explanation of the paranormal and the supernatural" - Is the name of my essay.

    Visit my essay and you will find something in it about New Cartesian Physic. After you give a post in my topic, I shall do the same in your theme

    Sincerely,

    Dizhechko Boris

      Dear Boris,

      Sorry, but I cannot find your Essay. Please, can you kindly give us a link?

      Cheers, Ch.

      Dear Christian, Reza, and Nathan,

      You have presented one professional work where however the non-specialists also can comprehend for himself the whole importance of the ongoing events in the advanced edge of theoretical and experimental physics. I believe that we will be able to overcome the crisis of understanding in fundamental science through the creation of a new comprehensive picture of the world, uniform for physicists, mathematicians,

      "> poets ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpBGPv6s2s4&list=FLTAAJTuBZSNWG96hdrzQ6bQ&index=8

      ) and musicians filled with meanings of the "LifeWorld" (E.Husserl). I see your work as very important to overcome the crisis of understanding, the creation of the ontological basis of knowledge. I invite you to read my ideas of the ontological unification of matter (absolute forms of existence), including the ontological (absolute) wave, integrating all the waves of the Universum as holistic process of generation of structures.

      Best regards,

      Vladimir

        Dear Christian Corda!

        New Cartesian Physic, which studies the movement of space-matter, gives you the opportunity to visually describe the origin of gravitational waves. She claims that the planets play the role of reference points indicating the rotation around the Sun all circumsolar space. This follows from the fact that the radius of the circular orbit does not depend on the mass of a body revolving in orbit - it can be as in space, is zero. Our Solar system is radiating gravitational wave, it is necessary first to increase its size and then reduce them to the size smaller than the original. This rare phenomenon may occurs at the end of the life of a star. A gravitational wave carries away energy from the dying star to the other place arose another. It is possible that the energy of the gravitational wave is scattered in space and it is possible that it is absorbed from the coincidence of the period of its oscillations with a period of space in orbit.

        I wish you success in seeing not only gravitational waves, but in movement spaces.

        Dizhechko Boris

        Dear Ch. and coauthors,

        I enjoyed reading your historical account, especially Einstein's own zig-zag on the matter, which I suppose is part of what you meant by wandering. Incidentally, Einstein's following response to the referee report of Robertson forwarded by the Editor of Physical review [which I am sure you know of] is rather amusing:

        "

        Dear Sir,

        We (Mr. Rosen and I) had sent you our manuscript for publication and had not authorized you to show it to specialists before it is printed. I see no reason to address the -- in any case erroneous -- comments of your anonymous expert. On the basis of this incident I prefer to publish the paper elsewhere.

        Respectfully,

        P.S. Mr. Rosen, who has left for the Soviet Union, has authorized me to represent him in this matter.

        "

        Thus implying that the paper was submitted for publication, not for refereeing.

        My best regards,

        Tejinder

          Christian,

          Yes, I get an error now too. Maybe I included the http//. I'll try again here or if it doesn't work send direct. ; Tide tables. It's not so much the tables that matter but thinking in a new way about what the effect means, and how it's really about 'gravity waves'.

          I hadn't scored yours (you may be pleased to hear) so it's going on now. I hope you'll do mine if you hadn't.

          I also hope you'll look rigorously at my Classic QM derivation and comment or ask questions on it.

          Very best

          Peter

          Dear Tejinder,

          Thanks for your kind comments. We are happy and honored that you enjoyed reading our Essay. Yes, you are correct on the issue that Einstein's own zig-zag on the matter is part of what we meant by wandering. We also knew Einstein's response to the referee report of Robertson forwarded by the Editor of Physical Review. It was indeed very amusing not only for its meaning, but also because Einstein was so mad with the Editor of Physical Review that he wrote such a reply (that you reported being correctly translated) in German instead of in English!!

          Thanks again, we wish you success in the Contest.

          Cheers, Ch.
