Wandering towards a ‘Theory of Everything’ and how I was stopped from achieving my goal by Nature by Lachlan Cresswell

Dear Lockie

I enjoyed reading your essay and found it very stimulating. It's good to see that the responses you received were so positive.

I would like to add some thoughts on the "wave particle duality paradox." I totally agree that it is absurd to assume that particles possess a form of schizoid behaviour where it's either a wave or a particle depending on the whim or actions of the observer.

Maxwell demands that you must not ignore the magnetic moment of the electron, even when stationary, but especially when travelling at constant velocity. The magnetic moment of the electron has several degrees of freedom: it can radiate due to precession or radiate due to rotations or tumbling. Think nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) or rotational spectra, neutrons atoms and molecules also contain magnetic moments. A fast electron can gain angular momentum on interacting with a surface or a force, the result must give rise to radiation in almost all orientations of the magnetic moment. Because of the very small diameter of the electron gamma rays would be generated for practical initial linear velocities. Imagine a squash ball containing a magnet inert-acting with walls, wouldn't Maxwell's Equations insist on radiation? The paradox of Young's two slit with electrons is solved with this approach!?

Good luck Lockie

Dear Mr Cresswell,

I appreciate your take on the turning machine in your endnotes

Great essay

The longer form of my essay explores some similar thoughts about the turning machine and it similarity to living biological entities

Dear Dr Lachlan Cresswell....

This post I am repeating here

Thank you for reading my essay very critically, thank you for accepting my essay to 99%, for me it was a difficult task wonderfully achieved!!!

Now lets come to the point you did not agree.... lets have live discussion....

These Imaginery numbers or complex numbers; quaternions, octonions, etc used for multiple variables are tracked.............. Quaternions which are non commutative are especially good for rotations in 3D space, something that is important in particle physics. Although Einstein used tensors, quaternions are making a comeback as they can be programmed on computers, and are used a lot in computer graphics........

I also accept without any problems...... ......

But assume a situation where a third order or any higher order differential equation is used in one or more dimensions while formation, can you get a real solution???

Also assume a situation where some value represented in an imaginary axis perpendicular to time axis, what will be the physical meaning of that point?

Assuming mathematics and giving solutions is ok, what will be the physical meaning ...

40 years I was working on Dynamic Universe model and used tensors with simple equations but not differential equations. Otherwise the real solutions we will get will have singularities.

May the hidden Vak be revealed..........!!!!

Dear Dr,

I request you not to make any conclusions without a proper discussion.......

I was working on this Dynamic Universe Model for the last forty years under the guidance given by Maa VAK (She is Hindu Goddess Saraswathi for wisdom and education). Almost all papers are important, all results are important, many predictions came true. I dont know which result to elaborate, For example...

-Explains Formation of Astronomical Jets and their high Velocities at Galaxy centers..... The particles traveling parallel to plane of Galaxy suddenly they turn perpendicular at Galaxy center !

-Predicts Frequency shift in electro-magnetic radiation near huge gravitating masses .... this is in addition to bending of light as predicted by Einstein !!

-Galaxy Disk formation: Densemass Equations ..... There is no requirement of Blackholes!!

-Explains gravity disturbances like Pioneer anomaly,.... Until now we considered a single body (eg. Earth) gravitation on another (apple) only.This SITA approach solves the Gravitational catapult !

-Non-collapsing large scale mass structures .... They dont fall a single lump mass dueto gravitation !

-Offers Singularity free solutions ...... No Bigbang, No blackholes !!

-Solving Missing mass in Galaxies, and finds reason for Galaxy circular velocity curves.... ... NO MISSING MASS if you calculate using SITA approach !

-Blue shifted and red shifted Galaxies co-existence, in an Accelerating Expanding Universe...... 30% are blue shifted Galaxies !

-Explains the large voids and non-uniform matter densities.... UNIFORM density is not observed

-Withstands 105 times the Normal Jeans swindle test.... other N-body problems fail at at 1% of any position disturbance

-Explains VLBI variations.... Other wise very difficult

- Explains energy to mass conversion....... Energy --->Frequency upshifting --> mass

-Explains Cosmic-rays formation with the same SITA approach, origins of Cosmic Rays expalined

- Proposed an UNIVERSE model with full cycle of Energy (from Sun)--- to Mass( neutrinos to Hydrogen- to formation of various elements) ---- to formation of Stars and Sun ---- to Energy again---- NO BIGBANG --- No Blackholes etc...

I can not just explain 40 years of research done in just 9 page essay, I just gave main points.... I am sorry ....

I just rated your essay now much better than above average, now your is rating is 5.3. Best wishes to your essay

Dear Dr

I suddenly remembered OLD 'Two of Us'... Boney M. song

Two of us riding nowhere

Spending someones

Hard earned pay

You and me Sunday driving

Not arriving on our way back home

We're on our way home

We're on our way home

We're going home ....................

Are we really going home?

Best

Dear Lockie

Thank you for your reply,I dont know you are satisfied with my reply. You may please reply here also, no problem.

Hope you also will rate my essay, if you already rated it, dont worry.

I definitely like to discuss anywhere you like

Best Regards

Lockie,

Thanks for an apt reading of my essay. Yours was a "down-under" type adventure. Your crossword puzzle was an interesting "table-of-contents" of an essay that entertains and informs. I feel more colorful as a skuld entity with self-awareness though perhaps my future output is not totally unpredictable, given my past roadmap. When you speak of the "now" and the future, I think of news of the mutation of the coronavirus as in input in an uncertain future.

Liked your essay and consider it one of the best in discussing the 3 "Us".

My ratings is your 8th in this world of raters giving "1" bombs w/o comments.

Regards,

Jim Hoover

Thanks, Lockie

For your comments. I am keen on fields that "wriggle" and the Poynting vector at the moment but that can change, we can thrash it out.

Good luck with the essay comp.

Cheers Barry

Hey Lachlan (and fellow Australian),

Thanks for the interesting essay. You wrote about Wolfram's ideas from a new kind of science. There is a bit of strange beauty that arises from these simple building block automona models when they make a very complex but strangely simple structure. As you noted right at the very end, the brain must work in a similar fashion. The interesting question is at what point does self-referential consciousness arise? Does the brain reach some critical mass where it suddenly emerges? In any case, if we take our current understanding, it appears the brain is a highly non-linear, dissipative Turing machine (not sure if it is universal).

In any case, it was a unique set of ideas that you presented in your essay. I hope you can take the time to have a look at essay which considers the dissipative nature of Turing machines and might be of interest to you.

Interesting essay. One reason I think theoretical physicists tend not to like cell automata-like models is that they are hard to extract insight from. Even if a wizard gave us a cell automata model and told us it was the Theory of Everything, we would still probably like to come up with phenomenological descriptions of it that are easier to understand. Having the rules for such a model doesn't tell us why the consequences are what they are, e.g. why there appear to be four forces and why these rules cause atoms and galaxies to form. For a theory that we don't a priori know is right, these automata theories are also hard to test experimentally.

The thermodynamic arrow of time is, in some sense, pretty much understood. It doesn't have anything to do with wave/particle duality, since it happens in the classical mechanics to classical statistical mechanics transition also. It's an emergent consequence of having lots of chaotically moving particles. Formally, you get time irreversibility when you take the particle number N to infinity, a singular limit. There's a good chapter discussing all this in Chibbaro et al's "Reductionism, emergence, and levels of reality".

Not sure I understand your positions on presentism and free will. Maybe I did not read carefully enough.

Since you wrote on my blog, though addressed to someone else, I wrote the following:

The quantum numbers such as spin I think are independent. An elementary particle is I think an entanglement of states for each of these quantum numbers. In solid state physics these are called quasi-particles, such as phonons, plasmons, spinons etc. Experiments done recently have shown that an electron can be placed in a state where the spin is in one location and the charge at another. I actually think elementary particles are these entanglements of quantum states corresponding to these quantum numbers.
