Galilei, Gold, Ren - votes for ultimate realism by Eckard Blumschein

Dear Jayakar Johnson Joseph,

I appreciate your interest in the physiological aspect of my essay. Please do not take it amiss if I would like to remind you that my essay does not deal with "biophysical awareness". I do not even understand what this expression means.

Did you overlook that I consider audition something that is still superior to theory of audition? I am claiming to have found out one key reason for that, and I guess physics might benefit in general from the ultimate realism it offers.

Regards,

Eckard

Dear Eckard,

I read your essay. As it isn't directly related to my field, I haven't anything sensible to say about it (you will learn that I am very cautious...). It was instructive, I knew about von Bekesy's story, but I have no expertise in signal processing. I also had a look at Gompf et al. Idem, in order to have a sensible opinion about the shape of the emitted light pulse, I need to see (or even do) that experiment. It just has so much influencing parameters and one of them is the pressure profile in the bubble, about which I am totally ignorant. And for you, what's your opinion about Gompf et al?

By the way, in order to promote the FQXi contest, may I quote from your essay on my blog or twitter profile?

Regards,

Arjen

Dear Arden,

Thank you very much for reading my essay. If you are cautious, I understand and accept this in particular concerning Cantor's naive set theory, which is in German abbreviated ML what reminds me of Marxism/Leninism.

What about the v. Békésy story, v. Neumann admired his old nobility. There were Lighthill, v. B., Zwislocki, and Ruggero who altogether ignored Gold's argument.

Please tell me more if you can.

What about Gompf et al., Prof. Eisenmenger himself admitted that the measurement with single electron counting strongly differs from direct measurement with a streak camera and might be wrong. The difference can be explained as superimposed noise in case of SEC.

What about quoting, I would in particular appreciate more attention to Ren. If you will quote my ideas then do not omit the most basic ones:

Those who are not believing physicists like Einstein must no longer deny the difference between past and future. The now is the only reasonable reference of past time. Time ranging from minus infinity to plus infinity is not measurable but merely an abstract construct. Belonging mathematics must be interpreted with more care than Schroedinger did show with his lover Itha. Please do not quote the last 8 words, which refer to Schroedinger Life and Thought.

Kind regards,

Eckard

Dear Arjen,

I have to apologize for confusing in a hurry single photon counting (SPC) with single electron counting (SEC). Gompf et al. used SPC.

Moreover, my reply with respect to Gompf merely added information in excess to what I already wrote in papers like M283 or M290, attached here on Oct. 12.

SPC adds a superimposed bell-shaped artifact to the narrower and steeply rising true shape of the measured impulse. When Kuttruff in his laudatio for Eisenmenger at DAGA 03 in Aachen showed the SPC-results, he told us that there were objections because the SPC-results did not depend on variations of material as to be expected and as measured with traditional methods. This is a strong argument.

Nonetheless, Phys. Rev. Letters arbitrarily decided: SPC is highly reliable and the result of Gompf et al. must therefore be correct.

Maybe, I was the only one out of several hundred experts of acoustics in the auditory who got aware that the SPC-results by Gompf et al. were most likely wrong because a bell-shaped function of time is not a typical one in such processes but it rather indicates apparent symmetry.

My profound experience resulted from performing measurement on similar processes of arc ignition with 2 GSample (500 ps) time resolution, and I was familiar with studies by D. Rehfeldt with 1 Million frames per second, cf. a comment of mine in J. Phys. D: Appl. Physics 1999.

In all,

- The SPC-based "measurement" by Gompf et al. exhibits a strikingly symmetrical bell-shaped function of time with an unrealistically large width

- This width does not significantly depend on definitely important influences

- The bell-shape cannot be attributed to the observed processes but it can easily be ascribed to a dominating superimposed random enlargement of the true width.

- Ultimately, the direct measurement e.g. with a streak camera is more trustworthy than the somewhat sophisticated SPC.

I derive two questions:

1) What is wrong with SPC in general or at least in the special case?

2) Why were compelling arguments persistently ignored? Would admission of a flaw with SPC possibly imply the need for more general revisions?

When I look back upon the suspicions of mine that got more and more substantiated, I would like to point out that I not just lost my naive trust in idols but more importantly, I distrust any arbitrary choice in theories and in particular the idea of general symmetry.

While I tend to blame Schroedinger and Einstein guilty for their tragic private lives, my criticism of their work has nothing to do with my high moral standard. I should clarify that Kramers/Heisenberg/Born/Pauli as well as Schroedinger/Weyl and Dirac did not by chance arrive at the same - as I am claiming - wrong interpretation.

Regards,

Eckard

Dear Eckard,

I have no acces to papers like that of Gompf so I don't know what kind of measurement you refer to. Would you care to elucidate your comment about photon counting ? Thanks, Anton

Dear Anton,

Please find attached the paper by Gompf et al.

Let me know if you need further elucidation.

Eckard,

This was refreshing. You got it right.

Don L.

Dear Don Limuti,

Thank you for encouragement. I can only guess what part of my essay or utterance in discussion you are referring to. I tried to at least mention a lot of more or less compellingly substantiated objections concerning what I consider wrong basics in mathematics, in physics, and even in applications, in particular on the theory of hearing.

Didn't Zenon's paradoxes intend to show that reality evades comprehension by means of measurement?

To me, numbers and a genuine continuum mutually exclude and simultaneously complement each other. Being an EE, I guess your v_ac and v_dc mean alternating and direct components of velocity, and you are circumventing my solution to Buridan's ass in order to follow Hilbert who frankly declared intending to maintain Cantor's naive belief.

Kind regards,

Eckard

Dear Eckard,

I couldn't acces the paper of Gompf via your post. Would it be possible to describe the experiment and tell me in a few words what you want me to explain ?

Hi dear Mr Eckard Blumschein,

I read just your essay,there are many essays , it's long to read them but it's very instructive like yours.

I have read on this thread a discussion with Mr Baten about the Fourier series and the CT ,very interesting about the frequences and the limitations of our referential with its adapted local parameters .The good method is essential for the nalayze of signals indeed ,the superimposing is specific and complex .

The harmonix approached analyzes must be reals.These properties are very relevant when we use the good referential of course ,and where the imaginaries and the reals are considered with pragmatism and rationality .

For me the utilisation of properties for the symmetry is primorial .The time too and its translation must be pragmatic thus as a pure constant of evolution.Afetr we derivate ,we integrate ,we make products ,we translate ,we modulate ,we imply the linearity ,the coherence ,the invariance and harmonisation ,we adapt the locality the domain with the correct numbers of course.

It's always just a question of good referential always .

Good luck

Regards

Steve

Dear Anton,

Please try http://home.arcor.de/eckard.blumschein/M291.html or

http://home.arcor.de/eckard.blumschein/Eisenmanger.html

You have to write Eisenmanger, not the correct name Eisenmenger. When I created the file, I confused e with a because I often wrote mails to Josef Manger with a.

Regards,

Eckard

Dear Steve Duforny,

Perhaps you did not yet get aware of my meanwhile thoroughly substantiated suspicion: Time-symmetry in physics of particles is an artifact of improper interpretation of complex wave function.

You wrote:"For me the utilisation of properties for the symmetry is primorial ."

Maybe, in French the word primordial has a different meaning. In English it describes things that have existed from a very early time or since the beginning of the world. I am also not sure what properties and what symmetry you are referring to. Who utilized the properties?

I read your "good luck" as skepticism. Well, science is not a democracy. My essay is too uncommon and demands too much as to avoid many arrogant one votes. Maybe, I am wrong, tangible evidence for SUSY will be found, and quantum computers will work as promised?

Regards,

Eckard

Mr Eckard ,

In French ,indeed the meaning is like a priority more like a primordial thus .

For the sceptiscism ,I am alays sceptic ,always I doubt and that to be sure of my datas .It's essential to well extrapolate in fact.If not it's a lost of time .The susy is false ,because each entangled sphere is specific thus the computing must be fundamental with good series and good pragmatic tools .

When you use the ideas of some people ,there too a balance is essential ,if not it's a story of the history whith bizare extrapolations without real sense .

The properties must be interpreted and utilized with rationality correlated with the rationality .We can superimpose but with logic .

For the essay ,a good essay and I repeat good luck for the contes.

Regards

Steve

Sorry I would say Mr Eckard Blumschein,

Don't bad interpret ,I write too quickly .But I evolve hihi

Best Regards

Steve

Dear Steve,

I appreciate you making progress, and I have to admit: English is my fourth language too.

Unfortunately I cannot comment on your spheres as long as I did not find a pertaining paper.

The perhaps most important message of mine is: Physics has to learn the fundamental difference between past and future. It does not matter that AE as a believing physicist denied this.

Referring to Galilei, I would like the mathematics to unlearn Cantor's paradise.

His second diagonal argument assumes that a list of infinite extension could be considered stationary. This wrong belief corresponds to Dedekind's also unfounded "axiom". When Wolfram here claims: Quadrature of the circle has been possible now, he is correct and wrong at a time.

Even theoretical physics deserves correctness. Common sense is mocking: If only 3 people are sitting in a room, then 5 out of them leave it, consequently 2 have then to come in as to make the room empty.

When I also focussed on Gold and Ren, the reason for me was to show that Nobel price awarded tenets can be wrong. Ren definitely deserves more attention.

Do you object?

Regards,

Eckard

Dear Eckard ,

The klangauge is not my force .hihihi I dislike in fact studying languages .Maths and sciences more music it's ok but the language really oh my God .I must be more pofessional .

Each thing at its time ,I will publish .My kind of explaination is the transparence .I am persuaded what some people have understood my theory .This theory of Spherisation will rest and will evolve .

Now I admit there isn't any papers but is it important ,for me no .

About what you say ,I agree because you are pragmatic and it's the most important thus any objection in fact .Indeed the sciences must be rationals without imaginaries extrapolations without sense.

In all case happy to read your discussions on the threads ,you see clearly .

Best Regards

Steve

Dear Steve,

I feel you did not yet realize the implications of my detour to the physiology of hearing. I understand your aversion. Just skip the part of my essay that deals with what I consider examples for wrong while firmly established tenets.

I need these examples in order to enforce readiness of my readers for being flexible in a more general controversy too.

I promised to Vesselin Petkow writing a detailed reply here at 527.

I already wrote to him: I also agree that "the whole point of the issue" is "whether or not the future is uncertain".

He would be right if not only the comparatively unproblematic laws of nature but also the whole past, i.e. all initial conditions together would be known and manageable. I consider this an illusion. I learned, and it is plausible, there are no closed systems in reality.

I need a break, Regards so far,

Eckard

Furthermore I wrote to Vesselin: You are claiming:²... the very essence of the art of doing physics is to identify which theoretical concepts in our theories have counterparts in the external world."

Dear all,

Let me resume the question of known or uncertain future. With me, perhaps anyone except of believers will share the point of view uttered by Shannon: The past is knowable, in principle, but absolutely unchangeable while the future is changeable, in principle, but its prediction is always uncertain.

Believers like Einstein and Petkov are denying this. It does not matter whether they believe in a religion, a fate (destiny) or merely a deeply hidden comprehensive order of anything. They do not consider future as merely predicted possibilities but as something a priori given and merely not yet known.

I argue: On the level of abstract relations, a distinction between the past and the future is indeed inappropriate. However, you and me do not observe the world

from outside. We live in it and are bound to the very moment. The same is true for any process in reality.

Petkov claims: "The very essence of the art of doing physics is to identify which theoretical concepts in our theories have counterparts in the external world."

While he admits that theories are not the real world, the word external indicates his point of view. Theorists like he feel outside reality. They do not consider their concepts like mere tools but like an independent world of theory.

This perversion might be an almost necessary result of the exclusively abstract style of teaching at universities. Because my humble own vote does not have sufficient wight, I remind of Galilei, Gold, and Ren having provided factual votes for ultimate reality, i.e., for considering theory only a reflection, a shadow of reality. Theory must obey reality, not the other was round.

The search for counterparts in reality seems to be rather helpless in cases like aleph_2, bad ghosts, Higgs boson, SUSY, quantum computers, a genuine traveling wave in cochlea, anti-worlds, etc. In case of problems with identification I recommend to look for possibly fundamental mistakes.

Absurd putative T-symmetry in the sense f(t) = f(-t) is definitely just an artifact due to improper interpretation of complex domain, which on its part necessarily arose from the notion of time believed to be given with a range from eternity to eternity. Please check it: Reality ends at the now. While one can try to predict, prepare, or construct future, future processes cannot be observed in advance. The idea of arbitrarily moving "in" time is as unfounded and futile as are transfinite numbers.

Hopefully this helps,

Eckard

Dear Eckard ,

Thanks for your answer ,I think you don't understand my theory .

It's not serious .

Good luck in your works .

Steve
