Dear Gordon Watson

Thanks for well studied comments on my essay

Your observations about truth do indicate that you are well educated and knowledged person... It is very nice that you work is based on experimental evidences from QM. Any study or work will be successful if it is based on experiments.

..............Your words....

From this recap, I trust you can see that I am in agreement with this (from you) --- "I use everyday physics as achievable by engineering" --- me happily recalling that many famous physicists were said to be, firstly, engineers.

............... Thank you for the supporting comments...

..............Your words....

Alas, as such an engineer, focussed on fundamental foundations, I'm in no position to comment on the grand sweep of schemes like your Dynamic Universe Model.

But from the above it follows that you need have no concern as to what I might mind (or what might be my opinion) about you and your work. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone that seeks to make sense of reality to proceed at their own pace and in their own way; and (as we agree) always with facts and evidence in mind!

In this regard, here are three commonsense mantras that I suspect we share: (1) Reality makes sense and we can understand it. (2) Correlated tests on correlated things produce correlated results without mystery. (3) Only the impossible is impossible.

So for me it is a bonus to see that you are NOT following a branch of main-stream physics that endorses naive-realism: with its consequent quantum-mysteries and nonlocality!

Also: I very much appreciated the question-and-answer-style of your essay; especially the emphasis on experimental results. Though I am more cautious re this conclusion: "No imaginary or negative time axis." Sure that I understand your meaning, I suggest the reference to "an axis" is unnecessary. For me it possible to reason "backward-in-time" from later evidence; like how it was that the Titanic sank so quickly.

With my thanks again for your comments, and wishing you every success; Gordon

PS: As requested, I will post this on your FQXi essay-site.

Satyav,

I posted the link you asked for on my string (under 29.1) Also appropriate high score now applied, as intimated. Hope you'll do mine if you haven't as it's just been hit with some 1's!

Very best

    Dear SNP

    I recall your Eq.25 from previous essays. It is quite intuitive and seems reasonable.

    A question not directly related to your essay: Do you have some idea about the cosmic microwave background? The big bang has a good explanation, but maybe it is just an average black-body temperature. Or maybe starlight that has gone in a circle - or a half circle. Imagine a water planet, with a source of waves (like an explosion) at the North pole. The waves would spread out towards the equator and then converge to a point at the South pole. The fact that light is deflected by gravity lends some weight to this possibility.

    Cheers, Colin

      Dear Colin Walker,

      Thank you for your asking about CMB.... My Paper on CMB is available at

      http://viXra.org/abs/1606.0226

      CMB is nothing BUT star light, Galaxy-light and Light from Other inter stellar & Inter Galaxieal Objects in the Microwave region. CMB anisotropies and variations were were calculated and and discussed in the in the above paper given by the above link

      I request you please have a look at this paper and calculations..........

      Hello SNPG,

      I like your list of 'No's. If that is 'Reductionism', so be it!

      Some essay authors have given little consideration to the FQXi evaluation criterion that essays should be 'accessible to a non-specialist audience'.

      We are all enthusiastic about our own interests, and I am no exception - except that I am a member of the 'non-specialist' congregation with respect to physics and mathematics.

      In ruminating over the subjects covered in your essay you make reference to 'about 125 billion galaxies in the universe'. I read between the lines that you are referring to the popular concept of the universe of all-that-is-known, without questioning what lies beyond; distinguished from the universe of all-there-is (known and unknown) which is singular and extends infinitely in all directions.

      This is an important distinction because it leads us to question the function, indeed the very existence of gravity. Insofar as the predominant constituent of the cosmos is vacuum, it follows that, from the point of view of an 'outsider', the outward pressure of vacuum is the cause of an effect that 'insiders' call 'gravity'.

      In matter we find an exhibition of defiance against vacuum, the exception that proves the rule. What is the rule? The rule is that vacuum (unfilled void or space) abhors nature, and flows to fill it's absence. That flow is Nirvana from the Sanskrit 'nir' meaning 'out', and 'vati' meaning 'it blows'.

      Notwithstanding, you are heading in the right direction. Keep going.

        Dear snp, My thanks for your comments and support: I wish you well in this contest, with your research and long into the future. Best regards; Gordon.

        Dear Peter Jackson,

        Thank you for your comments and I also gave good score as appropriate.... I will go thro' the link ASAP and post about it...

        Thanks SNP,

        I have downloaded your CMB paper. It is a confusing topic for me, but light from stars is what I also have been thinking.

        Best to you,

        Colin

        Thank you Colin Walker,

        You please ask me any questions if you need. I will try to clear your confusions....

        .................... Thank you , that's the reason I used as simple words as possible, I hope you understand them, but please ask me what ever the doubts you have.... I will try to clarify you...

        ........................................ It does not make any difference, to us, if there a few trillion more.... Isn't it?. Universe is not necessarily expanding, there are blue shifted Galaxies also...

        ....................................... I don't there is something beyond the universe. According to Dynamic Universe model postulates , there is no multi-verse. So there are no outsiders to universe. As per the definition of Gravity, I don't know. I feel gravity is mass and vice versa mass is Gravity...............

        ........................... Nirvana is something like death for a yogi....Going into vacuum may not be required.

        Thank you for your blessings... I hope you will ask some further doubts...

        Satyav,

        That was an impressive paper, good work and I agree most of it. However it didn't contain the derivation of the underlying large scale CMB anisotropic patterns I referred to. Those are the background 'Helicity' in the 'whole sky' distribution, the 'dark' holes, and the overall 'linear' anisotropy; ie. analogously we seem to be towards one side of a 'river' of energy, so each side of us is different.

        These are important indicators of the inadequacy of our cosmological models (as well as all the smaller ones!) so must be fully explained in any proposed replacement model.or it'll just be ignored & dismissed.

        I have to say I also suggest no theory is complete without some indication of pre- 'BBT' conditions. (Not that I subscribe to a BB OR static universe).

        The anisotropies are complex and have confounded most all. There is only one model I know of which derives them, which I was involved with in 2012-13. It may be worth collaborating on an update. It starts with a method familiar at multiple smaller scales from nuclear tokamaks up, at stellar and most familiar at galactic scales. Please do study it carefully and revert if you see a flaw;
