Just an addition to my essay:

In "Mechanism of Cochlear Excitation at Low Intensities",

short title "Fluid pressure cochlear activation"

http://physiology.huji.ac.il/pdf/sohmer/05-Coch%20I-II-.pdf

the authors Sichel, Perez, Freeman, and Sohmer described new experiments and quoted Martin Braun and Andrew Bell who provided a lot of evidence against v. Békésy's genuine traveling wave that was imagined and mathematically modeled by Lighthill to convey energy along basal membrane from its base to its apex.

In the end realism will always win.

Addendum:

When I dealt with a recent article, I came to the insight that Dedekind's main mistake was the interpretation of the rational numbers with the points of a straight line already in §2 of Stetigkeit und irrationale Zahlen. Actually the physically relevant primary measure is not a point but the distance of size one from point zero to the point one. This distance is thought to be absolutely exact. It can be added in endless repetition and also be endlessly divided into equidistant parts. So it fits to the only compelling and unique definition of continuity by Peirce: Every part of it has parts.

The mathematicians are humbly asked for arguments against this correction. Physicists will hopefully understand how physics may benefit. Dirac impulses are to be understood as integral not over an area symmetrically to a point of concern but one-sided. I consider many complicated turns of mathematics related to the implicit inclusion of surrounding distance of a point. Sets of naked points are never dense, and the property to be infinite is a quality, not a quantity. Galilei is not outdated.

No. Logic and maths are not departed by relativisation.

I've found the link I've been looking for to show you writing off Nimtz et al's work is an error. Amongst much other eminant proof solid work was done by Chiao etc. at Berkeley; http://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevLett.71.708

Those who decry it misundertand what 'apparent' superluminal motion means and does not mean, and are therefore frightened in a quasi religious way. That makes for very poor science and stunts progress. You should study and consider it carefully it as it leads to key evidence for you as well as additional proof for the DFM. Also look at his work on Bells theorum and the Realism/Locality analysis allowing and explaining observation of superluminal phenomina. As you say, Reality will always win, but, crucially, Locality does NOT have to be abandoned or subjugated, hence unification is possible. (If it isn't we're probably not here anyway!!).

As with superluminal gas jets they are not superluminal in their own frame and causality is not breached. Once you agree to consider 'what if' if that IS possible, you'll be able to see the path to the rest of reality.

Hope you can find it.

Dear Peter,

Steinberg et al. is an old hut from 2003. Phase velocity and velocity of the peaks is irrelevant. The decisive velocity of wavefront does not exceed c. Transmission of signals with a speed in excess of c is impossible. Nimtz merely contributed his own confusion.

Hi Eckard, Happy Xmas.

There are couple of notes to you you'll be interested in in my posts.

"Transmission of signals with a speed in excess of c is impossible"

Indeed - but what you're missing is that you must always also consider and define; '..with respect to what?'

The answer is; The medium (background/field) they're moving through.

Fizeau first proved light moves wrt the medium it's in, Lorentz invented the inifinity transform to stop anyone observing it doing more than 'c'. Now consider the latest fibre optic ring interferometers. Light moves round it at 'c' (adjusted for glass) with respect to the glass, whether it's spinning or not. From our 3rd 'observer' frame the frequency is stretched or contracted, as the Sagnac effect (longer or shorter distance to the moving 'finish'). The only way to avoid us observing it at CplusV uses length contraction (never yet evidenced). So we spin it and check it's doing max rpm, switch the pulse on, and what do we see? The ring suddenly shrinking? The light path shrinking? the ring or light path slowing down? No!

It'd be the same for a fibre optic cable on the side of Concord as we watch it fly past. The pulse would travel at 'c' wrt the cable, which would not suddenly shrink and detach itself from the plane when switched on! (and the plane wouldn't suddenly shink [or shink more] either) and we would see CplusV from our rest, 3rd, frame. A quantum field 3rd frame DOES exist, but can only observe from a distance. If we measure the EM signals reaching us they would all be doing 'c' as we're measuring them in our own frame. Dilation is fine, contraction is not needed.

It's very simple and resolves many paradoxes and anomolies, including your own issues, (substituting reality for unreal math), if you could just forget paganism and let your brain work!!

If you think physics is sorted already read some Lee Smolin or Roger Penrose.

Here's to an enlightened 2010!

PS. The new paper on solving Astronomical anomalies is now on viXra. Now working on one analysing the excellent GPS evidence for Discrete Feilds.

Hi Eckard

Big news just released but not really yet noticed; see my post on Peter Jacksons Perfect Symmetry paper.

Happy new year.

I was trying to decipher a Steve D 'spheres' message and reminded myself how much I support your pretexts. I also noticed your; "Something can only have a border if there is something else behind that border."

That's pretty central to Einsteins conviction that space is;

"an infinite number of spaces in motion relatively to each other." (1952)

What if they're not just unreal mathematical constructs, but real physical zones of space. It's the borders between those spaces that are important.

Those borders are the planetary/heliospheric shocks and galactic halo's, where clounds of oscillating particles propagate, exactly as they do around all accelerated mass (the protons etc in the LHC).

Th oscillating particles do the same as our FM radio's, modulate the frequency of EM waves, so if a small region of 'space' is travelling through a larger one the EM waves are Doppler shifted to maintain 'c'.

I can't believe so few can 'c' it!!!!

And I'm disappointed you don't seem to be able to see it considering you're views are half way there already!

It joins reality with locality, which acheives unification. It could only be seen as an astonishing acheivement to predict the unexpected results of the NASA Gezari papers. But no-one seems to have noticed. Hey Ho!!

Anyway, in case you have ten minutes my new paper's just published, I'd really appreciate your views; http://vixra.org/abs/1001.0010 Relativistic GPS Evidence and Quantum Gravity Architecture of the Discrete Field Model.

Best wishes

Peter

PS. Interestingly Steve's 'multiple spheres' would only need modifying a little to become discrete fields!
