Sounding the Drums to Listen for Gravity’s Effect on Quantum Scales

Dear Physicists,

The first mistake y'all made was when you decided that Nature had to have complex secrets, without specifying why. Only humanly contrived conjecture am capable of sustaining complex speculation Nature had to furnish reality for all living beings and all non-living things. Nature's visible simplicity is utterly extravagant. Every real surface of every real person place and thing am actually existing securely attached to a real visible Natural infinite surface occurring in one infinite dimension that am always illuminated by infinite non-surface light.

I'm a little surprised that this article has gotten so little interest, given the preferences of a number of regular commentators for either QM or Relativistic theoretical interpretation. While the article itself is quite brief and does not go into specifications of the experimental protocols to be employed, careful reading does reveal that firstly; the experimenters led by Andrew Briggs at U of Oxford are treating the theoretical question as an attempt to find a realistic measurement in the relativistic macro-realm produced by Quantum events in the micro-realm. I would personally expect some success.

It does not take too great a leap to consider the parameters of 'superposition of quantum states' as proposed by Gerard Milburn, U of Queensland, Brisbane, being collapsed under gravity into definite states, as a practical mathematical deconstruction into several spin characteristics associated with any particular chosen atom. And a little research into the lattice structure of silicon nitride shows that depending on the method of processing a pure molecular product can result in an inherent stress at the corners of the atomic matrix. So by supercooling the thin wafers, that stress would tend to sustain resonant vibration in the lattice structure without much dampening interference from spurious vibrations. It would be nice to know more about what sort of detection systems the Briggs team with Edward Laird and Natalia Ares are employing, but as very brief, low intensity emissions of energy as electromagnetic frequency pulses could be expected, Small Quantum Interference Detectors (SQUIDs) placed in an array might get some clicks. jrc

Anonymous, I agree. I don't know how I overlooked this article, especially since it is a primary research interest of mine. Re: sustaining resonant vibration without damping interference, what effect would a perfect damper have? My attempt to answer:

title and abstract:

Dynamic spacetime imposes matter-wave continuity

We identify a least wave harmonic in 1-dimension continuous spacetime, a ground state source by which every succeeding global state is locally connected. Continuous spacetime allows generalization, in Hilbert space, to a single wave state that manifests physically as a spacetime soliton. We propose a validating experiment.

I must be losing my mind. I find that I carried on a running dialogue in this forum, and posted the same article. Maybe it bears repeating--maybe not.

Tom,

The Briggs experiment as presented in the article does clearly imply that there is no boundary between the Quantum and Classical. It takes a little bit of teasing out of the article to recognize where the Quantum events occur, and where the effects produce a measurable condition. Both, it seems, are in those tiny, membrane-like flecks of silicon nitride. What is not explained in the article is how those flecks are suspended in what sort of containment, to be set vibrating by what means, in the first place. But it is interesting to treat the QM methodology of the additive process of Spin Number for any given Characteristic, as a superposition of several Characteristics of one particle, rather than the usual treatment of the same single Characteristic as a superposition of several particles. At least that is how I understand the Milburn theory base as articulated.

Researchgate requires certifications to gain access to archives, which does keep the discourse scientific but also limits knowledge of your papers. I do have at least one on my reader that is on the soliton, and which I think might find a fit as a gravitational collapse model of the Briggs/Milburn superposition of characteristics into a definite state. Though I would think that where the gravitational collapse of superposed states under near absolute Zero K would approach a definite ground state, would be where an emission of energy would become necessary. And it would be by detection of that thermodynamically necessary emission that would produce a quantitative result in the experiment. The scope of the article doesn't allow for a presentation of the theoretical base, but it can be safely assumed that is predictive of a time dependent shedding of energy quantity for any collapsing superposition and thus would be detectable in a frequency window by a SQUID.

In casual language, how do you see your paper as having a pertinent fit with the experiment? best - jrc

Dear John D. Cox,

Visible reality does not contain invisible quantum particles.

MISSION

To catalyze, support, and disseminate RESEARCH on questions at the foundations of physics and cosmology, particularly NEW frontiers and innovative ideas integral to A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF REALITY but unlikely to be supported by conventional funding sources.

My research has concluded that NATURE must have constructed the simplest visible physical Universe obtainable. The real Universe must consist of only one single unified visible infinite surface occurring eternally in one single infinite dimension that am always illuminated by infinite non-surface light.

Unfortunately, the Foundational Questions Institute's author of its MISSION lied when he or she wrote of its protocol. Not only has the executive board made no attempt to accept my research, they have offered no funding to help with its dissemination whatsoever.

John,

"But it is interesting to treat the QM methodology... as a superposition of several Characteristics of one particle..."

Exactly. That is what "bandwidth" is all about, in Information Theory. Any process that limits bandwidth, necessarily imposes correlations upon all the otherwise-independent Characteristics under the influence of the band-limiting process. In other words, all independent, input characteristics, flowing through such a process, get "blurred" together (a superposition), so that the process output no longer exhibits the same independent Characteristics as its input. That is the ultimate origin of all the so-called quantum correlations; When you process the "living crap" out of a signal, such that there is only a single bit of information left, you get all sorts of weird correlations between measurements, whenever you attempt to make more than one measurement, or attempt to measure more than one bit value (like spin-up or spin-down), from the one independent measurement that you can actually make.

Thanks Robert,

The nomenclature often gets confusing, and in QM there are so many ad hoc 'characteristics' that are simply required to maintain the half and whole integer additive procedure. The educational system since WWII has stressed QM to such a practical applications extent, that I think many practitioners do not get much fundamental grounding in its origin. The over simplification begins with the early assumption that the *proton* was an even multiple of the electron mass, and that was in an age when Chemistry not Physics reigned supreme. So it was in Conventions of the era that it was the Chemical weight that set the standard where Hydrogen was an even Atomic Weight of "1". That of course underwent revision with the ascendance of Physics, and still the Std. Model persists in procedures of simple additions. We do obtain just a single bit of information, and in fact what we get is physically only the behavior of the detector, from which the source is theoretically supposed. Suppose; that in reality the determinant is not an additive process but an optimal volume condition for any given energy quantity. Then, One Bit would naturally and mathematically describe a real form. best - jrc

John, I apologize. I didn't know the site was so restricted. I knew you had to register to join, but I thought that was to facilitate communications among researchers, not to keep the public out.

I guess I should have my own web site, but I'm too lazy to maintain it, and too broke to pay someody to do it. I'll figure something out.

Meanwhile, I have attached an excerpt--the introduction--which lays out the main idea and purpose. If anyone is sufficiently interested, I will Email them the paper.

Tom,

Thanks, I was able to download the attachment but have been combatting a virus this afternoon and the reply box isn't showing the anti-robot function. This panel has a separate 'I'm not a robot' quiz and maybe that will reactivate things. Onward through the fog! jrc
