Using Klauder’s Enhanced Quantization to set a bound to the Cosmological constant, in Pre Planckian space- as a way to ascertain the most important fundamental physics question. by Andrew Beckwith

You are correct up to but excluding the para beginning "Dear Sir". Thank you for persevering.

Para beginning "Dear Sir":

My Table 1 shows three objects have the same location parameter: -0.18. If the objects were 1D fermions this would already have broken Pauli's Exclusion Principle so that that particular metric would have exceeded its maximum content for holding fermions. Also Table 1 uses a finite and small number of different location parameters and that is the feature which I claim prevents intervals between fermions being zero on such a metric, assuming only one fermion per location. I realise that argument could be deemed circular. [My contest paper uses a preon model, with strings, so I do not have singularites for Standard model point particles, as they are divisible in my model. So I do not worry about the location parameters being points.]

I apologise for my lack of clarity. What I need to do is re-write my Rasch paper to bring in the new physics contexts. And I would understand if you deferred until I finished that paper. There is hardly any discussion in my Rasch paper because of the nature of origin of the paper. In a late use of Rasch in psychometrics before I retired an issue arose over whether one should use standard statistical tests of significance on the rasch results from a particlular experiment, ignoring that the results came from a Rasch analysis. Or could one squeeze more error out of the findings by using extra information from the fact that a Rasch analysis was used. And the paper was written for that psychometric purpose. But I realised that I could try to mimic the effects of GR compressing metrics near masses. So, as I was retired and could do as I pleased, I added that in without any discussion. I have since realised that the same data can be extended to try to show why the metric beaks down near a CCC node but I have not amended the discussion to explain how. It is not fair of me to explain on the hoof but maybe just one more para might help.

The part of your post that I agreed you had correct was emphasising that uncertainty was equivalent to homogeneity. That is for nearby space. The opposite is true for far flung space approaching a CCC node. That is, lack of homogeneity is equivalent to no error. And 'no error' implies a Guttman structure of data. And a Guttman structure of data plays havoc when constructing metrics. And not just the Rasch metric but any kind of metric, in my opinion. So the metric collapses at the CCC node.

Dear Professor Andrew Beckwith,

My research has concluded that Nature must have devised the only permanent real structure of the Universe obtainable for the real Universe existed for millions of years before man and his finite complex informational systems ever appeared on earth. The real physical Universe consists only of one single unified VISIBLE infinite surface occurring eternally in one single infinite dimension that am always illuminated mostly by finite non-surface light.

Dear Andrew Walcott Beckwith,

I believe you often attempt to bound phenomena, and to herein derive an explicit bound on the cosmological constant, based on Klauder's enhanced quantization.

Your equations are impossible to critique (I pity your reviewers!) but your basic concept seems to be that of a space-time "wall" separating pre-Planckian from Planckian regimes. I have difficulty conceiving of such a wall, but then I have difficulty conceiving of lots of things.

You might wish to read my comment on Klauder's essay page, where I key off of his basis in Dirac to note our friend Steven Kauffmann's paper pointing out nonsense results from the Dirac equation and attributing these to Dirac's consideration of space-time symmetry issues that he used instead of deriving his equation from a corresponding classical Hamiltonian. It is difficult to know just how far this nonsense can or has ricocheted in relativistic quantum field theory.

Which brings me to my essay that treats the historical development of 'space-time symmetry' and raises questions about it. I hope you will read my essay and comment.

My very best regards,

Edwin Eugene Klingman

Hi Andrew Beckwith

I highly appreciate your essay and hope for reciprocity.

I request you please spend some of the valuable time on Dynamic Universe Model also and give your some of the valuable & esteemed guidance

Some of the Main foundational points of Dynamic Universe Model :

-No Isotropy

-No Creation of matter like Bigbang or steady-state models

-No many mini Bigbangs

-No Missing Mass / Dark matter

-No Multi-verses

Here:

-Accelerating Expanding universe with 33% Blue shifted Galaxies

-Newton's Gravitation law works everywhere in the same way

-All bodies dynamically moving

-All bodies move in dynamic Equilibrium

-Closed universe model no light or bodies will go away from universe

-Single Universe no baby universes

-Time is linear as observed on earth, moving forward only

-Independent x,y,z coordinate axes and Time axis no interdependencies between axes..

-UGF (Universal Gravitational Force) calculated on every point-mass

-Tensors (Linear) used for giving UNIQUE solutions for each time step

-Uses everyday physics as achievable by engineering

-21000 linear equations are used in an Excel sheet

-Computerized calculations uses 16 decimal digit accuracy

-Data mining and data warehousing techniques are used for data extraction from large amounts of data.

- Many predictions of Dynamic Universe Model came true....Have a look at

I request you to please have a look at my essay also, and give some of your esteemed criticism for your information........

Dynamic Universe Model says that the energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation passing grazingly near any gravitating mass changes its in frequency and finally will convert into neutrinos (mass). We all know that there is no experiment or quest in this direction. Energy conversion happens from mass to energy with the famous E=mC2, the other side of this conversion was not thought off. This is a new fundamental prediction by Dynamic Universe Model, a foundational quest in the area of Astrophysics and Cosmology.

In accordance with Dynamic Universe Model frequency shift happens on both the sides of spectrum when any electromagnetic radiation passes grazingly near gravitating mass. With this new verification, we will open a new frontier that will unlock a way for formation of the basis for continual Nucleosynthesis (continuous formation of elements) in our Universe. Amount of frequency shift will depend on relative velocity difference. All the papers of author can be downloaded from "http://vaksdynamicuniversemodel.blogspot.in/ "

I request you to please post your reply in my essay also, so that I can get an intimation that you replied

Dear Andrew Walcott Beckwith,

Thank you for your very kind remarks. I'm very impressed with the work you do and generally attempt to read your papers. [I still pity your reviewers.]

The topic of cyclic cosmology is beyond a comment, so I will attempt to respond to your questions about Barbour's nature of time (an earlier FQXi essay).

He begins by noting that his mechanics books define neither time nor clocks. He further complains that the fundamental notions of duration and simultaneity are almost universally ignored, the latter due to Einstein's 'relativity of simultaneity'. In fact, Barbour states that only Newton discussed duration. Barbour hopes to persuade one that time as an independent concept has no place in physics.

In agreement with Einstein, ("There exists no space absent of field.") I view 'space' as contingent on 'field', where field is substantial in the sense it has energy, hence matter. Similarly, I view time as contingent on energy, essentially energy in the field (see Hertz's 'energy' quote, on my page 5). Barbour quotes Mach to the effect that 'time is an abstraction'. I would not go that far. I would agree with Newton that:

"Absolute, true, and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature, flows equably without relation to anything external, and by another name is called duration."

The nature of time, in my opinion, is universal simultaneity, and its property of 'duration' is almost certainly tied to local energy, and very likely to the constant of action.

In this sense I somewhat agree with Barbour that

"...intervals of time do not pre-exist, but are created by what the universe does."

The "intervals of time" are supposedly what clocks measure, as described in my essay as "counting frequency" or "measuring energy".

Ignoring his 'rotation of the earth', etc., I disagree with Barbour that "Newton was wrong... Mach was right, we do abstract time from motion." This is, if not duplicitous, at least confused; motion is no more fundamental than time, in my mind not as fundamental. Motion is essentially local, while time is universal simultaneity. Universal outranks local every time. Perhaps Barbour believes that Einstein's attachment of time dimensions to local moving objects make time also 'local' in nature. I do not.

The key to Barbour, as I see it, is his statement on page 4:

"Modern textbooks, leave us to fathom the meaning of t, say that all these quantities are functions of the time: phi(t), a(t), r(t)."

If this is true, one would expect that a clever approach could factor out t and this is what he does, ending on page 9 with an expression for delta-t in terms of energy.

I'm not impressed that Barbour has accomplished anything other than to support my arguments in my essay. I do not support all of his arguments.

My very best regards,

Edwin Eugene Klingman

I have elected to rate your essay now...

It is written more in the style of a scientific paper than an essay about topics in Science, but I gave you high marks in several areas. I am using a grid system to grade papers this time, assessing both cogency of message and comprehensibility. Overall, you did well this time out.

I have to give you partial credit, because you jump right in to using Math to illustrate your point, but I know that is easier for you than explaining what you are presenting first. Kudos for keeping on topic, or at least showing how your subject matter answers the essay question. Demerits for unclear explanations of how the Cosmology piece ties in with Klauder's work.

All the Best,

Jonathan

Hi Andy,

You really wrote a very nice Essay, also connected with the papers that you recently published in JHEPGC. Congrats!

That the most fundamental constituent to physics is the cosmological constant is an intriguing statement. Did you read the book "God's Equation: Einstein, Relativity, and the Expanding Universe" by Amir D. Aczel? If you did not, I suggest you to read it. "God's Equation" is exactly the Einstein Field equation with the additional cosmological constant how it was written by Einstein in 1917. In any case, your Essay is very fine. You deserves the highest score that I am going to give you.

Good luck in the Contest!

Cheers, Ch.

Dear Fellow Essayists

This will be my final plea for fair treatment.,

Reliable evidence exists that proves that the surface of the earth was formed millions of years before man and his utterly complex finite informational systems ever appeared on that surface. It logically follows that Nature must have permanently devised the only single physical construct of earth allowable.

All objects, be they solid, liquid, or vaporous have always had a visible surface. This is because the real Universe consists only of one single unified VISIBLE infinite surface occurring eternally in one single infinite dimension that am always illuminated mostly by finite non-surface light.

Only the truth can set you free.

Andrew,

OK, it's not the type of essay a 'speed read' can penetrate from any distance away.(I do that for 3x the essay number first order evaluation). But on second reading, after Kaluder's I got in, and I found it a world full of wonders, nicely put together, though I'd have liked a little more English and less symbolism!

Novel, original, interesting and informative and fundamental it was, so that's a good score sorted.

As far as the derivation. As you may have seen I've mainly followed the older traditions after Zwicky, Rees, Smoot and Lahav of 'observational' rather than theoretical cosmology so I can't much comment. I'm familiar with the singularity and cosmological constant matters (see my recent linked in post re Sandage 2006 etc) but as you may have seen have derived a real physical cyclic ontology overcoming both. There may be some link but it wasn't clear to me. If you can see one do advise! or if you see flaws in mine do point them out.

I also have no issue with the 'space/time bubble concept, indeed I invoke it at all scales from sub Plankian up! so was interested in another view. I think all approaches are valid and none of my unfamiliarity with yours of course affects scoring so I'm pleased to give it due reward, hold on tight..

Very Best

Peter

dammit, logged me out! At least it's not punctiuated with 'n's and no gaps as mine are at present!

... there is no need for a bounce (cyclic in radius and time) when you have ralpha'/R. The universe is cyclic in mass and time.
