This essay makes a number of points. That mathematics is not foundational to physics; instead, it is one’s view of what is physically real that has primacy. That the guide for foundational inquiry should be symmetry and the equalities of special relativity. That our current physics is contingent upon a set of assumptions derived from classical physics plus the institutional inertia and pressures characterizing later decades. Finally, a revision of our current physics is offered.
Designing a Physics Without Makeshift Explanations
I found this article very good. I think like the author that a particle can have two identies, the first one its identity in time as an energy which can be exchanged (kinetic energy as potential energy) and the second identity as space identity translated by its rest mass. Time hoist energy whearas space is where this energy's potential travels and rarefies as a wave of probable reception (exchange). Space hoist mass rest and when travelling the kinetic energy is hoisted by time as a packet of waves which group speed equal to the speed of the particle. I agree with you that photon is not a particle because time is the dimension that keeps photon energy undivided. The time for photon constant because its energy is constant. For every particle there is a constant time measuring its energy. I conclude that there is an universal constant between between the quadrivector wave and a quadrivcetor spacetime where the time component is constant. You help me so much to resolve the meaning of the "inertial time".
Math tool. If there is no mathematics, there must be logic. But logic is easily described by mathematics.
Dear KhakiHeron; many thanks for your time: both for reading my essay and responding thoughtfully. Unlike you, many a reader has not been able to comprehend these new/unfamiliar concepts. Physicists keep interpreting the photon as a unitary object which leads to a paradox (duality). This constitutes a dead end so they simply move on to lesser issues that are more career advancing.
As you understand, E = mc2 gives any quantized entity (either space-stationary particle or time-stationary photon) two identities: 1) a kinetic/essential identity, and 2) a potential/stored identity.
For a space-stationary atom (say Carbon-14) its mass resides in space while its potential identity (its stored energy) advances probabilistically in time toward release (decay).
For the photon, its kinetic energy resides in time (as pure oscillation) and its potential identity (its stored/relativistic mass) advances in space toward release (reception). And release is always via an event at a point in space-and-time imitating particle impact with no particle involved.
So, any entity has its kinetic identity residing (i.e., occupying an interval) in one dimension while its potential (stored) identity advances probabilistically in the opposite dimension toward possible release (either particle decay or photon reception).
And yes, for an electron moving in space, its kinetic energy is still in time but that energy has its potential identity as a wave packet (in space) of stored (relativistic) mass surrounding the electron’s rest mass. And the wavy momentum vector of the packet interacts with the momentum vector of the electron’s rest mass. Hence electron de Broglie waves!
To more explain your idea to the readers let's take your Sec4.2 :"The inertial particle is stationnary in space; the photon is stationnary in time(infinite time dilatation)". If the photon is stationnary in time so it should has a fix coordinate in time . The energy of the photon (which is hold in time as oscillations) is equal an universal constant (new constant) times "the inertial time" of the photon (i.e. its coordinate in time). The new universal cosntant have the dimension of a power. Don't made any link with Planck absolute system of unities. One can do the same thing for the inertial particle when it is stationnary in an inertial reference assign a constant time which a measure of its rest energy. This time is equal its rest energy divided by the new universal constant. It comes that we can define for every particle (or a photon) a lenght in time and a lenght is space defining the two identities of the "object". I should explain more as follows:
1-Every object have a quadrivector inertia which is equal to the mass of the object times its quadrivector speed (particle or photon)
2-Every object have a quadrivector lenght of identity as follows:
the new universal constant time the quadrivector identity=the celerity of light times the quadrivector inertia=the quadrivector momentum= Planck constant times the quadrivector wave vector.
If we use a system of unities as:
The new universal constant= the celerity of light= the Planck constant=1
than the three quadrivector defined before are the same.
A particular case for the photon that its lenght identity in time is equal to its lenght identity in space so the existence and occurence are always the same for the photon.
For tiny particles like electrons the two lenghts can be very near each either in modules eventhought in low speed because its mass is very low.
I think we have resolved togother the most eminent problem in physics: unifying quantum mechanics to realtivity. The time we know is due to vacuum energy: this energy push the universe to expand so we feel time pass.
Your question page 6 "and ther will be many who demand some proof of kinetic energy residing in time". The response is yes: vacuum energy is a form of kinetic energy residing in time. It represents the energy of the fundamental state of the electromagnetic field.
Let's explain more: Acoording to quatum mechanics the energy of and harmonic oscillator is equal an (integer+1/2) times Planck energy. At its fundamental state (the integer=0) the energy of the oscillator is equal the half of Planck energy but it comes from what?. The response is that the electromagnetic field is also an oscillator and in its fundamental state it still have energy which "drive" every other oscillator. When the temperature tends to zero the oscillators tends to their fundamental states. Replaces the Boltzmann medium energy "kT" by another medium energy " 1/2.h.v0" and inetgrate for all frequencies the density of energy of vacuum as it is a black body you find the universal constant "v0" as a frequency by putting it exactly equal to the density of energy as given by General Realtivity. The square of this frequency times Planck constant gives the new universal constant ( as a power) defined before.
THANK YOU APRICOTPONY: togother we had given a solution for a problem remaining for more 100 years.
A little correction of my post:
"2-Every object have a quadrivector lenght of identity as follows:
the new universal constant time the quadrivector identity=the celerity of light times the quadrivector inertia=the quadrivector momentum= Planck constant times the quadrivector wave vector."
correct as:
"2-Every object have a quadrivector lenght of identity as follows:
the( new universal cosntant/square speed of light) times the quadrivector identity=the celerity of light times the quadrivector inertia=the quadrivector momentum= Planck constant times the quadrivector wave vector."
I would also give you some others remarks:
-Don't refer to Thomas Kuhn. He think himself that he is understind the structure of the scientific revolution but he don't. Scientific revolutions comes by adding in time ideas and experiments. There is no paradigm as he says.
-Sec.8: We cab explain the existence of a limit speed for all particles as follows: one can derive by time twice (inertia times the position of the particle). We suppose that inertia is a function of time. For objectvity the forme acting on the corpuscle which is equal derinving twice by time (inertia times the position) should be independent from the choice of the origin of the coordiantes reference. So the inertia should be a lienar function of time and when tending time to a greater value the acceleration of the particle tends to zero so there is a limit speed for all particles. The problem here that the equation of motion is not Lorentz inavrient: we can correct this situation by moving in a reference filled with fluid with negative pressure cancelling the viscosity of the fluid and so on...etc.
Hello ApricotPony. I enjoyed reading your essay and during that reading a thought occurred to me. There is another “angle” that you might want to consider. The essay “Could Science Be Different and Improved? Yes. A Specific Proposal. proposes that the mathematics and the creation of the physical world occur in conjunction with each other, the mathematics is embedded in the processing/results and suggests that the relationships can be discovered by suitable scientific exploration. If this is correct, would it help in your work?
Sec10."blocking one MZI path forced the photon to be a particle": if we continue with ApricotPony definitions of a double identies for a particle, I can said that the photon identity pass by the two ways (blocked & unblocked) as a wave with the phase speed. The identity pass first the energy and the two ways interfer in the detector and gives a wave less intense than the original. If I continue with the definition of lenght of identity (two lenghts one in time and the other in space) and when deriving the space lenght identity by the inertial time of the particle it gives the inverse of th phase speed of particle times an universal constant. This signify that with the phase speed a certain amount of the energy of the particle can be transmitted over any wall. I get this idea this day only.
Thank you FlaxTern and KhakiHeron for positive remarks. Your ideas are interesting, but I cannot reply fully right now. I am on a cruise ship with intermittent Internet connection. Plus, your knowledge in some areas exceeds mine; I am merely an ontologist: I analysis what [physically] exists and what occurs and how these objects [entities] make use of dimensions. I also don't conflate entities with the events they occasion! These topics are NEVER taught to physicists. I might reply more fully in a few days; I get back home on the 18th. You two have open minds which really I appreciate... :-)
KhakiHeron: My thoughts need expanding and 'dressing up' with some current mathematics. Whether you are the person to do that is not for me to judge. But I do appreciate your enthusiasm!!!!

4.2 We, the external observer of the photon. For us, the photon and time moves, but space is stationary. To the internal observer, the movement of time is stopped, and space is moving.

Great that your specialty is ontology. A photon is a particle and a wave, similarly to the "jet - particle" observation, when considering a water jet, in pulsed light. I have been trying to draw attention to the topic for a long time: "The present is a period of transformation of the future into the past." The period has a duration and during registration (in the period) we have a particle. Under continuous observation - a wave.

Dear ApricotPony,
Your views on reality are very close to me and I highly appreciate your work:
“If mathematics doesn’t help us with some things we know, it also doesn’t appear to help us with things we don’t know. Quantum physics and relativity have some puzzles that have been around for over 100 years and the brightest mathematicians and mathematical physicists have yet to produce a solution”.
In my opinion, fundamental theories should begin with discovered phenomena and laws that appear in experiments, but not vice versa.
Therefore, my essay is devoted to phenomena, laws and entities that the generally accepted concept stubbornly refuses to see in experiments and in its abstract representations.
I wish you success!

Dear CeruleanJackal, thanks for the good wishes. I return them to you.
You write "...fundamental theories should begin with discovered phenomena and laws that appear in experiments...."
But don't we deduce laws that come from experiments; inertia, conservation laws? Interesting question: are laws discovered, deduced or formulated? How did Newton get his laws?
Regards,
ApricotPony
My mum reckoned that most degrees came out of Weeties boxes. Maybe some laws were found there as well?
