Dear Mr Kadin,

You are welcome, thanks for sharing your ideas, it is relevant, I learn in the same time about these electron field, what are these électrons after all, Dirac help us lol :)

best regards and good luck in this contest

Alan,

The best and the most clear essay I have read, which is a lot to say for a non-physicist. This is not to say I have a clear understanding of the neo-classical approach you outline, but it helps.

The breakdown of fundamental concepts and the specificity of their meanings is quite clear and useful in our analysis of fundamental. Your history and sectional previews give clear guidance for a difficult subject. What is abstract, what is fundamental and what is constant are clear as you progress. You identify the character of important components of your argument.

Helpful clarifications we amateurs don't always consider:

Quantum mechanics should be viewed not as a general theory of nature, but rather as a mechanism to generate discrete particle behavior from continuous fundamental waves.

Quantum entanglement provided the final rupture in the unified fabric of physics.

Not sure about this: "Exotic effects of orthodox quantum theory such as superposition and entanglement are mathematical artifacts of linear theories forced to explain nonlinear physics." In my interest in Quantum Biology I noted: "the discovery of quantum coherence in warm, wet, turbulent systems such as plants and microbes has come as a huge shock to quantum physicists' Jim Al-Khalili in Life on the Edge and a Discovery Magazine article on quantum physics and microtubes. Fascinating subject in itself.

Hope you get a chance to check out my essay -- more general than your impressive work which rates high.

Alan,

I disagree with you, but in a good way. I mean, that while I am sympathetic with your premises, esp. "Nonlinear wave equations with soliton-like solutions", I don't agree entirely with the particle physics.

At least one soliton wave solution is described in my essay.

I liked your essay. I hope it gets the attention it deserves.

Best,

Tom

Dear Alan

I congratulate you on what you have accomplished so far. I highly appreciate your well-written essay in an effort to understand. It is so close to me.

I'm sorry that I missed your work in 2017. It happened by accident, I did not like the phrase in your abstract, and I did not read any further, and now I reproach myself for short-sightedness.

However, you asked for constructive criticism, not praise.

Speaking about the reality and massiveness of solitonally similar quantum waves, including the de Broglie waves, you have not yet realized that these are the quantum vortices of the turbulence of the superfluid medium of the physical vacuum that minimize the resistance of a moving particle or body.

These waves are designed for remote interaction with other bodies. The presence of these waves forms effect of the mass.

The kinetic energy of the body is equal to the energy of the de Broglie waves, which form a potential well of stability in all fundamental interactions, and not only in strong interactions.

Entanglement - is the only remote mechanism in the Universe for forming the force of interaction between the elements of matter, which is realized as a result of the interaction of the de Broglie toroidal gravitational waves at the common frequencies of the parametric resonance. This quantum mechanism of gravity is shown in a photo of phenomena observed in outer space (essay 2017) The reason of self-organization systems of matter is quantum parametric resonance and the formation of solitons https://fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/2806.

For example, a molecule is a state of entanglement (interaction) of atoms at common resonant frequencies of the de Broglie toroidal gravitational wave complex (including tachyon waves) belonging to different levels of matter.

The result of the interaction of toroidal gravitational waves (fermions) can be determined by solving classical quantum parametric resonance equations, for example, using the Mathieu equations (as in radio engineering).

The solutions of these equations can be represented as a Fourier series, which physically represents a set of really existing toroidal gravitational waves confused in a system of matter elements.

I hope that my modest achievements can be information for reflection for you.

Alan,

I said above I'd read again and have. I'm afraid it's may have to be in the 7-10 bracket but better than the 1's I to keep getting hit with! A few points.

Are you aware that after the final big (Chicago) experiment M&M concluded 'Ether'!! (Strictly Michelson Gore Pearson I recall) or at least a significant motion. Actually I've identified small asymmetries in most ALL interferometer experiments giving a slight delay between paths, so phase change (so fringe shifts) due to more glass crossings & reflections on one path. Nanoseconds count, and a 3 phase shift will look exactly like a 1 phase shift!

Actually Stokes model is then supported by M&M ('near field' out to the ionosphere) as found by NASA antenna engineers. Lodge falsely falsified that with a major frame analysis error in his spinning glass disc experiment. Are you familiar with 'Kinetic Reverse refraction'? Anyway it's not fatal to your thesis but is to understanding and the ecliptic plane problem! You regain all you may have lost by dismissing 'space/time'!!

Also I agree entanglement is an illusion. In fact if it's simply shared (anti) polar axes of a Poincase (4vector) sphere then classic QM emerges. From you first scan you said it's 'not clear and obvious' Indeed it isn't. It has 5 components and takes a careful read - otherwise it would have long been found!!

It also agrees; "Quantum mechanics should be viewed not as a general theory of nature, but rather as a mechanism to generate discrete particle behavior from continuous fundamental waves." even considering field electrons as standing waves.

Lastely exclusion; I find simply a rotation can only have one set of vectors. On interaction the wave 'collapses' and is re-emitted modulated, (or they annihilate!) Nuff for now but wish to chat further. I clarified a number of points for you in my response re mine above (14.1) I'm sure you'll find mine also a - 7-10 once understood!

very best.

Alan, have you seen this -- http://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319655925 -- ?

"Quantum Theory from a Nonlinear Perspective: Riccati Equations in Fundamental Physics." Cheers; Gordon

Hi Alan,

Your conclusion: "Within this picture, time and space are defined by microscopic quantum waves, but space-time is an unnecessary abstraction, and entanglement does not exist on any scale."

I favor alternative theories of physics also. I cannot address all of your essay, however, I have a peculiar view of Space-Time, that could advance your theory. Take a look at the essay "The Thing That is Space-time".

It has:

1. Nonlinear wave equations with soliton like solutions for the graviton.

2. Local self interaction compatible with special relativity, because space-time is always a "local" ether.

Thanks for not settling for inferior solutions,

Alan,

You probably lost our string above (14.1?) or like me time is short. In case you get a chance, I've now put a quick ontology 'check list' together to help in the tricky job of building the classical model of QM. Posted below. All expanded on in the essay which should then make more sense. Hope you get the chance.

;

AS MOST STRUGGLE WITH THE CLASSICAL SEQUENCE (TO MUCH TO HOLD IN MIND ALL AT ONCE) A QUICK OUTLINE INTRO IS HERE;

1. Start with Poincare sphere OAM; with 2 orthogonal momenta pairs NOT 'singlets'.

2. Pairs have antiparalell axis (random shared y,z). (photon wavefront sim.)

3. Interact with identical (polariser electron) spheres rotatable by A,B.

4. Momentum exchange as actually proved, by Cos latitude at tan intersection.

5. Result;= 'SAME' or 'OPP' vector! Re-emit polarised with amplitude phase dependent.

6. Photomultiplier electrons give 2nd Cos distribution & 90o phase values.

7. The non detects are all below a threshold amplitude at either channel angle.

8. Statisticians then analyse using CORRECT assumptions about what's 'measured!

The numbers match CHSH>2 and steering inequality >1 As the matching computer code & plot in Declan Traill's short essay. All is Bell compliant as he didn't falsify the trick with reversible green/red socks (the TWO pairs of states).

After deriving it in last years figs I only discovered the Poincare sphere already existed thanks to Ulla M during this contest. I hope that helps introduce the ontology.

Alan,

I did have questions but it seems a waste of time as you haven't answered the many good ones above. Less than impressive I feel.

Richard

    Richard,

    I have been distracted recently, as my mother is dying in the hospital. I think that is a good excuse.

    I will respond later.

    Alan

    So sorry to hear...

    My thoughts go out to you in this time of trial Alan. I hope there can be some communication afterward.

    Warm Regards,

    Jonathan

    Dear Alan,

    very sorry to hear this, know that I feel with you.

    I am also distracted in a similar manner, my mother is on ICU in artifical coma and lung machine, my father was a few days before. I am thankful to God that I could save their lifes by taking them straight into the emergency unit of a hospital a week ago.

    Only deep praying helps (and it helps), together with the confession that we aren't that omnipotent as we usually think we are. There is something bigger, independent of us... Sciences does help, but it is not a God.

    The contest renders meaningless in such trials, but anyways these contests are quite meaningless in themselves since they cannot deliver the big answers desired (and needed).

    Warm regards,

    Stefan Weckbach
