Dear Christian, with the final moments of the community phase upon us you are again top of the ratings. Will the panel be able to deny you a prize again, despite a recommendation from the great master himself? We shall see, but whatever the result it is good that you have addressed the matter with a sense of humour.

On the science side I do like your Bohr atom analogy for black holes. Treating the QNMs as similar to electrons seems like a smart move, and you have worked out the idea in impressive detail. Such work should not be ignored.

Your Hawking quote about the information being effectively lost, while unitarity holds caught my eye. Perhaps we have been taking the word information too literally. This kind of information is more like scrambled data that can never be unscrambled. It would be better described as randomness than information. I have a motto that the universe does not care what we think. In this case it does not care if we cannot access the information. As entropy rises usable information degenerates into the heat bath, or the black hole. Evolution, life and our struggles to understand the universe are our fight to hold onto meaningful information. The amount of information we gather, organise and record temporarily is tiny compared to what is being lost to randomness by the heat of our efforts, yet it is everything to us.

Good luck. I hope this time round will bring you a well-deserved and overdue prize.

    An enjoyable read, Christian

    I like your discussion with AE and had to laugh when the Unified Field Theory fades before you can read it (I doubt we are anywhere close to such a theory).

    A couple questions:

    1) If a BH works like an atom and electrons, should there be a 'spectra' of this? I mean like the spectral lines of hydrogen? Could this be verified?

    2) Would you say that a BH changes its size in quantum jumps? It would seem, given the analogy provided, that these are not 'tiny' jumps at the particle level, but rather possibly measurable in large units. If so, the question comes up as to how discrete jumps can exist in an otherwise continuous spacetime - or rather how does the 'jump' occur without a continuous change in dimension?

    In a different direction, what can be stated about all levels of scale in a BH, between those at the large, BH, scale and those of the quantum particle scale? Do all these other levels not exist, not have any impact on the BH structure, or have we simply not addressed them yet?

    Again, a very enjoyable read,

    Don

    Dear Christian Corda,

    I understand your angry reaction as an indication of lacking readiness to accept I might be right when I felt your self-admiration inappropriate among scientists. A good teacher intends teaching as easily understandable as possible.

    I ask you to guess: Why did my boss blame a paper of mine as "sowas von" fundamental?

    You claimed having proved me wrong in previous contests. Can you please give at least some examples for this? Fortunately FQXi documented all discussions.

    What about publishing, I too am a little biased in so far, I tend to not expect accepted work in viXra and Academia. I also refused publishing in GS Journal.

    Being not an "anti-relativity boy", I am nonetheless open for hints that may guide to a revelation of possible flaws in non-causal and tenseless models.

    With sympathy,

    Eckard Blumschein

    Dear Eckard Blumschein,

    I regret but you misunderstood me various times.

    1) My reaction to your criticisms was ironic rather than angry.

    2) My feeling at the starting of my Essay was disappointment instead of self-admiration. In fact, I am sure that the FQXi Panel has been unjust with me in previous years. This feeling is also shared by colleagues, see the below post by Philip Gibbs. Maybe that my criticizing the FQXi Panel further prevents them to award me this year, but this is not important. I have fun here in FQXi and this is my main interest. On the other hand, by claiming that " I felt your self-admiration inappropriate among scientists" you show your proper self-admiration by claiming that you are a scientist. They must be other scientists who state that you are a scientist, not yourself.

    3) Sorry, I have no time to search our discussions in previous Contests.

    4) If you have problems in publishing, this does not authorize you to denigrate my publications. This seems envy.

    5) I am happy to know that you are not an "anti-relativity boy".

    Best wishes, Ch.

    There persists in all branches of natural philosophy, a societal prejudice which favors the peculiarly human conception of time as being akin to the metronomic pace of Plato's footfalls, and the rhythm of his heart is beating like a drum simultaneously everywhere throughout creation.

    Truth is: we can only assume that the rate at which the passage of time occurs

    is anywhere between nil and light velocity. jrc

    Dear Christian Corda,

    I noticed you are with International Institute for Applicable Mathematics and Information Sciences, Adarshnagar, Hyderabad 500063 (India) and also related to uni-frankfurt.de.

    By the way does "galilei" instead of galileo indicate you as an outsider? I would appreciate that.

    May I hope for your readiness to read, understand, and honestly criticize my definitely uncommon while not lonely arguments concerning very basic fundamentals of mathematics, summarized in my current essay?

    I don't denigrate your perhaps excellent publications. Denigrate means to unfair criticize. I criticize that your referenes to own publications are obviously not in any case necessary for someone who intends to understand your answer to the question "What is fundamental?".

    When I dared to quote all my eight previous FQXi essays, then each single one directly related to my current essay. In particular, I gave hints to relevant figures.

    I have no problems in publishing. What about Einstein's Special Relativity, there are some alternative relativities from Galileo Galilei and Lorentz up to Phipps and Klingman. Let's investigate in all directions. I see Kadin my alley in politics. I just was told, archeology found out, the tropical rain forest in Africa was destroyed for some thousands of years due to local overpopulation.

    I look forward reading your criticism on my current essay.

    Eckard

    I admire you for being a respected Christian in Iran.

    Hi Christian

    Congratulations on your great score conclusion. I saw you achieve top position, you must have been holding your breath. Didn't stay there but a wonderful result all the same.

    Thank you for expressing a willingness to to help me with some technicals. I promise not to abuse this kind offer. My primary interest is to obtain data on velocities displayed within galaxy groups.

    Beyond that I would like to have a discussion with you on the following, if you are willing please? To put the terms of my essay in simply summery.

    People invented clocks, then Einstein comes along and discovers that clock rates modulate in gravitational environments.

    I suggest that, "force drives a clocks function, so forces must be implicated in general relativity's effects". Clock springs redeem this notion as being observable and quantifiable, "force dilation".

    Photons being the same type of entity as Gluons. Gluon force gives mass. Dilated Gluon force gives dilated mass. This seams childish in its simplicity, I know. But my essays argument based on mathematical geometry, shows it fits the puzzle of anomalous galaxy velocity. I hope this inspires curiosity. And given the opportunity, I can nail this argument down tighter.

    Steve

    Dear Phil,

    I am happy that you appreciated my a sense of humour. Thanks for your kind words on the science side. I am honored that you thinks that my work should not be ignored.

    I find your discussion on the information largely sharable.

    Congratulation for your remarkable 4th position in the community rating and good luck in the Contest.

    Cheers, Ch.

    Dear Christian Corda,

    You still didn't excuse yourself for your mere claim having corrected my "very elementary mistakes in previous FQXi Essay Contests", for your lacking readiness to reveal what you referred to, and for other arrogancies. The positions on top of the community ranking were often changing. Moreover, the panel was so far not obliged to agree with such pretty random ranking. It was you who caused me to rate your essay lower than you expected, and I consider my courageous decision necessary. Maybe, I gave you a 3 or 2, and this might have influenced others.

    It was your own exaggerated price-dream bomb that perhaos killed your hope.

    I am still ready to accept you as a serious investigator of fundamentals in science, not just as a prolific publicator, if you will surpass yourself, and prove my main arguments wrong, even if I am just a guy for you.

    You mentioned "your friends in anti-relativity claims, like Mr. Crothers, Mr. Santilli and others". My eyes are indeed getting weak. I didn't find them here.

    Hi Christian...

    Fair answer!!

    However, in that Einstein claims to now have a "Unified Field theory", by patronizing your need to express yourself, and not immediately redirecting the potential of your Metaphysical cognitive state, to the potential for an Initial State TQG, that must necessarily be facilitated by any valid "Unified Field theory", your "Grand Master" denied you the opportunity to examine his "Unified Field theory", and report to the FQXi community.

    It is my contention that an Initial State resolve of minimum units of Space (QI) and Energy (QE) is required for any valid "fundamental" TQG, so I will not apologize for not patronizing elaborate mechanisms to resolve a TQG from speculative Black Hole analysis, but I do have a gift for you... i.e. a Unified Field geometry... from which you can, with the Knowledge Base (KB) access you demonstrate, visually derive an Initial State TQG that facilitates Scale Invariance... i.e. a "most fundamental" gravity analysis.

    It is often difficult to read textual content designed to convey an understanding of a fundamental concept, so I rely heavily on 3D CAD illustrations... i.e. it is my intent that the UQS concept can be assimilated by exposure to the pictures that accompany my online papers.

    In regard to your inquiry as to whether my essay comment... i.e. a gravity collapse disassembles Physical scale entity choreographies of Energy information, freeing Metaphysical scale entity choreographies of Energy information, which a gravity collapse apparently has no influence upon... is "a proposal to resolve the black hole information puzzle?", I have posted a reply to your review of my essay.
