Dear Lawrence,

Thank You for the details relating String winding modes with Solid State lattices!

The reciprocal lattice argument is equivalent to T-duality, and the Large Numbers/Inverse Large Numbers argument is equivalent to S-Duality. I know that I've said that before in one of these blogs. Maybe I should have put it in this essay, but I was trying to find that balance between "enough" vs. "too much" detail in my essay...

Have Fun!

Hi all,

In fact , it's not you insert details, but errors.

Thus of course you confound details and errors in a general point of vue.

It's sciences fiction all that.

I just try to change your line of reasoning.Because it's a lost of time simply to focus to all these ironic pseudo sciences.

I can understand that many continue the strings because it exists jobs and others but frankly where are we , on a rational platform I hope.

The creation of ideas you say, the fun, it's an other story than our foundamentals at my humble and sincere opinion.

There we see thus why we have an international scientific commission and a system of international unities.

At this moment I don't see strings, higgs, micro BH ,extradimensions, tachyons,multiverses,.....where are these equations....answer ....nowhere.

Ray,

The Duff et al approach to 4 qubit entanglement is STU. The 4 qubits are assigned 4 electric charges plus their S dual magnetic monopole charges. S duality interchanges charges within a string type by a Bohr-Sommerfeld qg = nħ. This does permit one to switch a strongly interacting field with a weak field which is a perturbative field theory. This gives a correspondence between a non-perturbative field with a perturbative one. This is one component of what I am working on. For AdS_4 with a black hole the near horizon condition is AdS_2xS^2. The hyperbolic dynamics on AdS_2 is mapped to the sine-Gordon equation, which is S-dual to a Fermi field theory.

Cheers LC

Dear Lawrence,

I've been familiar with S-duality for years, but don't think about it often. Perhaps we have S-dual trialities of color and generations?

Dear Steve,

On Edwin's blog, I said "Dear Steve,

IMHO, Physics cannot be "complete". You seem critical of every creative idea that is not completely equivalent to your own creative ideas.

I think that you should submit an essay. Your spheres are discrete entities, but are their spins, masses, and radii discrete or continuous variables? I have not seen enough of your theory to understand it. And if your spheres are "fractals", then they get into that strange "quasi-realm" between continuous and discrete.

IMHO, your theory is similar to a Kissing Spheres or CDT theory. As such, your ideas may be distantly related to Lisi's Gosset lattice ideas (but obviously different, and uniquely "Steve"-ish). In my essay's conclusion, I claim that such ideas (as Kissing Spheres) are "half correct". Strings are the other half of the problem..."

The contest rules state "Please remember that the intention of this contest and forum is to provide a meaningful, open, and respectful discussion of the ideas brought forth. Commentary that is unconstructive, insulting, or excessively distracting from the core essay contest goals will be removed."

I don't want to use multiple threads saying "You're wrong and I'm right" or "Belgium 65, USA 0" back and forth. I think that we should agree to disagree and continue with our respective research. Perhaps we will both eventually recognize the similarities in our ideas.

I gained so many public votes so quickly by cross-linking on Facebook. I have 119 Facebook friends (including you) and some of those friends shared it with their friends. Its easy enough for you to doublecheck me - I don't personally own 10 different e-mail accounts...

Have Fun!

Ok Lawrence ok we know already that in the strings false road.We know already these errors.You confound really the foundamentals of physics and maths with a computing.Your age has nothing to do with a discussion between "said" rationalist.Thus of course the real respect is about humility /our universal sphere, like a humble walker of stars.The rest is vain.After all we" have all the same age no,13.7 to15 billions...).If now people must take gloves to speak about sciences, where are we going????

Ray, first don't take me for a non respectuous person....Wheere are you seen I insult you or other, I just say my point of vue and opinion.If you can name my insults,thus copy them and put them here now.If now insults are compared with critics and points of vue, there it's still more serious than I imagined.

,don't be too much frustrated, or jaleous you and your friend , it's not serious.

Hihihi it's true I begin to have fun, hihihi you know it's easy.Let's be serious please, a time for all.

Well , for physics let's act with a deeper analyze.

You speak about FCC,BUCKYBALL,GRAPHENE .....well that needs explainations.

What is in fact your real architecture about the whole of the entanglement.In fact it's domage you don't take a foundamental road, because you could have interestings results, I try to make understanding but it's difficult apparently.

Cheers like say some people.

Steve respectfully of course.don't confoud your own vanity with a frank person.

Dear Steve,

In all frankness and rationality, FCC (Face-centered cubic) and HCP (Hexagonal close-packing) are close-packing lattices. Start stacking cannon balls, and you will build one of these close-packing lattices. In this manner, your spheres might/should build one of these lattices. I prefer to study the FCC lattice because it has a clear reciprocal lattice - the BCC (Body-centered cubic) lattice. My essay describes the FCC and BCC lattices if you want to start there.

Adding in more speculations and less rationality:

If the Holographic Principle is a real effect, then Subir Sachdev expects this to have a graphene-like boundary. Graphene is an effectively 2-D hexagonal close-packing lattice of Carbon atoms. This analogy is a graphene-like structure made of the very "fabric" of Spacetime (the vacuum or Dirac Sea).

At the other spectral extreme of speculations:

Does the core of a Black Hole approach a singularity (I reason that a phisical infinity cannot exist within a finite observable universe), or does a lattice structure prevent its full and complete collapse? IMHO, the strongest lattice with the most proper symmetries is the Carbon-60 Buckyball (once again, realize that I am talking about a lattice built up from the very fabric of Spacetime). It is true that a sphere has the perfect symmetry, but a sphere is not a lattice - there are no lattice bonds to prevent gravity from crushing and deflating a perfect sphere.

The Buckyball might explain the non-collapse of the Black Hole core, but succesive radial layers of lattices would build one Buckyball inside of another Buckyball (with flipped symmetries). After about a thousand vertices, these layered Buckyballs will begin to resemble another lattice - the very strong Diamond lattice.

I know that these extrapolations bother you, but they are based on real world models.

Regarding Scales - Dirac started addressing this issue in the 1930's, but he didn't have access to all of the experimental observations that we have, and his first Cosmological model was eventually proven incorrect. I don't quit because the first model is incorrect - I move on to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. The Genius in in the Generalities, but the Devil is in the Details.

I held back in this essay - I didn't hit the world with all of my wacky ideas.

Have fun my Belgian friend!

Dr. Cosmic Ray

    Hi Ray,

    I enjoyed reading your essay. As usual, I was not disappointed in how you establish surprising connections and try to uncover the truth behind them, where others may see just coincidences. I particularly like and adhere to your openness to the possibility that things which seem incompatible, may be able to coexist.

    Good luck!

    Cristi Stoica

      Hi Cristi,

      Thank you for your comments! I enjoyed your attack on "Infinity" and its inverse. I likewise reason that a physical infinity cannot exist within a finite observable universe, and I think that scales address this issue.

      I think that the apparant incompatibilities derive from the apparently incompatible wave-particle duality.

      In some ways, I think that my approach is universal - because I see my approach as an umbrella within which different friends are tackling different parts of the TOE problem. At the same time, I feel a need to be somewhat skeptical because an open mind can fill itself up with all kinds of stuff - worthy and not-so worthy.

      Have Fun & Good Luck in the contest!

      Dr. Cosmic Ray

      Dear Ray,

      In an effort to keep relevant points linked, I'm reproducing part of a response I gave to Cristi Stoica that relates to the above, particularly your statement that, "satisfying the Coleman-Mandula theorem is the crux of that balance."

      The point was made that, "in Quantum Theory the time evolution is unitary, hence the information is preserved." I agree with this but think the following is relevant.

      Veltman notes that Feynman rules are derived using the U-matrix, even though formal proofs exist that the U-matrix does not exist. (Diagrammatica, p.183). The U-matrix is unitary by construction, and implies conservation of probability, probability being "the link between the formalism and observed data." In my mind, this leaves some room for 'free will' in the universe, (with consequences for information) but I have not pursued the U-matrix much farther than that. Veltman claims the U-matrix and the equations of motion are to be replaced with the S-matrix, in which the interaction Hamiltonian determines the vertex structure.

      Ray you attach significance to the Coleman-Mandula theorem, which (according to Wikipedia) states that "the only conserved quantities in a "realistic" theory with a mass gap, apart from the generators of the Poincare group, must be Lorentz scalars." But this seems to constrain only symmetries of the S-matrix itself, not spontaneously broken symmetries which don't show up directly on the S-matrix limit.

      As the 'scattering' matrix is used to make sense of particle collisions, this seems reasonable, but 'scattering' of particles is a very artificial (if necessary) way of studying particles, that may attach undue importance to symmetry and, as I've noted in my essay, leads to a Lagrangian that is based on inventing fields, whether or not those fields actually exist in nature. If they can be solved for then they are considered in some way 'real', and this leads, IMHO, to much of the confusion today.

      Veltman also says that "unitarity, Lorentz invariance, locality, etc, are in some sense interchangeable." It seems to me that this is problematical in light of today's push to banish locality from QM.

      I don't claim to understand the solution to these problems, just to note that there seems to be some circular logic going on, and I'm not sure that logic is preserved around a complete loop of the circle.

      This is part of the reason I start with the logic of one field, and work from there, ignoring, for the most part, the established formalism's of QM and GR if they don't map 100 percent into my model in a way that will satisfy experts in either field.

      Edwin Eugene Klingman

      In further response to your above remark that "everything is a quasiparticle involving both discrete particle Quantum-scaled phenomena and continuous wave Classical-scaled phenomena", I would call attention to the figure on page 6 of my essay, depicting both a massive particle and a mass-less photon. Both have momentum, which is 'mass current', mv, that is the gravitomagnetic analog of the 'charge current', qv, for electro-magnetics. Therefore both massive and massless particles induce a local gravito-magnetic or C-field circulation, which is inherently 'wave-like' while the particles are inherently 'particle-like' as well as providing a 'pilot-wave' type of phenomena accompanying the particle.

      You state: "If we over-emphasize one aspect of this wave-particle duality, then we underemphasize the other aspect." I believe my approach is the most balanced in that both are linked through "del cross C = p" and neither is unduly emphasized.

      Finally, as I've hinted elsewhere, Peter Jackson and others have stimulated me to focus more on photons and I am finding fascinating results which I hope to describe soon.

      It's always fun conversing with you.

      Hi

      dear American friend,

      hihihi people are going to say I am crazzy, let's have fun.

      I repeat Ray and it's very very veryyyyyyy important.

      Imagine a sphere, now a serie 1 2 3 and after we continue with a decrease of volumes, spherical.....how are your lattices, for me they disappear if we insert the serie towards a kind of very important number of spheres, smaller and smaller towards our planets and bigger and bigger towards the center Ray.

      Your lattices do not exists thus because all spaces are completed by the serie, the fractal .Incredible Ray no!

      Well now let's assume like our Unievrse a space between spheres ,it's spheres without rotations thus without mass......thus of course it's always spheres and the lattices in fact do not exists simply in realistic and relativistic point of vue.

      ps you are surprising in fact,perhaps I am in the error when I am parano,but we evolve.My other big default is my arrogance and of course it's a bad road,Sometimes I say me , Steve be more quiet and why you have said that or that.I say me you don't respect really people, you are right for that.I am parano and I become crazzy ,my emotions pass above my quiet simply.I am going to meditate about that a little, I think ,yes that becomes even essential.

      You know Ray you are going to take me still for a unstable,I contacted Berkeley and The DR Horst ,I was a little arrogant still, probably my past hihihi and my health , my head hihihi he probably thinks also I am crazy.

      ps good luck in the contest, I stop to bother you,

      Regards

      Steve

      • [deleted]

      Dear Steve,

      Again, I have never read your complete theory. Suppose you start with a close-packing lattice of equal-sized spheres, then fill the empty spaces with progressively smaller kissing spheres. I'm pretty sure that the centers of these smaller spheres represent the Miller indices of the Reciprocal lattice - please see:

      http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indices_de_Miller_et_indices_de_direction

      I think that the biggest difference between our models is that I represent "infinity" by expanding outwards (building a larger crystal) whereas you represent "infinity" by collapsing inwards (with more and smaller kissing spheres).

      Perhaps you heard about that crazy guy (Jared Lee Loughner) who shot the congresswoman (Gabrielle Giffords) and 17 other people in Arizona. Apparently, Loughner smoked Salvia, and it can cause paranoia. I understand that lots of stuff is legal in Belgium, but be careful with your agricultural experimentation...

      Have Fun!

      Dr. Cosmic Ray

      Dear Ed,

      Aren't we both guilty of creating symmetries or fields that haven't yet been observed? My approach anticipates a symmetry between Fermions and Bosons. Your approach anticipates a symmetry between electric-like and magnetic-like charges. Sure - your approach has already been observed in Electromagnetism, and it is a reasonable expectation for Gravitation, but that has not yet been observed.

      My essay didn't directly address the issue of information, but I assumed that the Multiverse has a very large (perhaps infinite?) complexergy (complexity-energy), and that our Observable Universe is limited to complexergies of order Dirac's Large Number or geometrical powers thereof. If Dirac's Large number is ~10^41 (41 is closer to the real experimental result, but I often round to 40), and the information limit is 10^123 (Dirac's Large Number cubed in 3-D, see Stefan Weckbach's essay), and the Cosmological Constant seems to be 10^(-123) (the inverse of the information limit - more coincidence?).

      In some weird way, your question of information is related to my question of scales.

      Check out:

      http://fqxi.org/community/articles/display/145

      where Andrei Linde said that time does not exist in the Multiverse, but when we separate one Observable Universe from the rest of the Multiverse, then time suddenly arises in both realms.

      Photons are important, but we don't know about the properties of Gravitons and Higgs - which should also be important (if they exist).

      Lawrence and I have been bouncing ideas off of each other. I wonder if there is an S-duality between the QCD triality and the generational (CKM & PMNS matrices) triality.

      Have Fun!

      Dear Ray,

      Never a theory is finished and I have difficulties to resume.

      I will publish in the future probably if I have a good team with me perhaps.

      For me it's not important the publication, only the research of truth is essential.

      Ray I have already explained you my past and my problemns in Belgium.

      They took me all Ray here in Belgium with my production of plants, I have lost 12000 plan,ts in 1 day Ray, due to bad people here.It was my rentability for my enterprize and its begining.A work of 3 years Ray.And ho they kill my plants and my monney, even my piano they took it and my car of work.I love horticulture and vegetal multiplication, it's a big passion for me.

      After that Ray, you shall be how after all these human comportments.

      For my health Ray, I have like I say you some neurologic problems many headacke due to a kind of epilepsy.

      My revenge will be with love and rationality, I have a revenge for the politicians of my country.If you know people who wants create an enterprize here for this nice and logic revenge, all are welcome.I just want create jobs and put into practice my inventions and models.

      The vegetal multiplication after x time arrives at an exponential.

      See my post on the thread of Dr Loty about ecology.

      Ray-

      You are a heck of a lot smarter than I am, and I think I understood a little bit of what you are talking about. Next time I see you, maybe you can explain it to me in person.

      Vic

        • [deleted]

        Thanks Vic,

        I'm sure that we'll eventually bump into each other.

        Ray,

        I believe that you are quite mistaken: the gravitomagnetic field *has* been observed.

        Two days after I submitted my essay I received the 3 Dec 2010 issue of Physical Review Letters 105, 231103 ("...on Non-Newtonian Gravity") which describes a 13 year study of LAGEOS satellite(s) that tracked the relativistic precession with one centimeter rms accuracy ("the most accurate measurement for the pericenter advance of a satellite orbiting the Earth ever made.") The results differ from general relativity's predictions by up to 0.2% and the difference is attributed to the C-field, or gravito-magnetic field.

        Darth Sidious then scolded me for saying that the gravito-magnetic field is not well known: "I regret, but you makes confusion on this point. Actually, gravito-magnetic effects are well known within General Relativity, i.e. the C-field...is indeed a part of General Relativity, see for example the recent review published in Astrophys. Space Sci. 331:351-395, 2011."

        Probably the best detection of the C-field is the experiment performed by Martin Tajmar, with, I believe some confirmation from experiments in Japan and New Zealand. A good paper is one where he notes the results 10**31 orders of magnitude higher than expeced:

        Martin Tajmar, et al, http://lanl.arxiv.org/ftp/gr-qc/papers/0603/0603033.pdf 'Experimental Detection of the Gravitomagnetic London Moment'.

        So Ray, I don't think it is accurate to say that the C-field hasn't been observed. It's been observed on earth, and in space, and is implicated in the 'flyby' anomalies, (see Grumiller, 'Model for Gravity at Large Distances', PRL 105, 211303, 19 Nov 2010.) Grumiller provides numbers needed for quantitative analysis and he reports the scale of observed anomalous accelerations which are compatible with my calculations.

        And there is, for most of us, little doubt that the "gravito-magnetic charges" exist. The gravito-magnetic charge is simple 'mass' (which I believe exists whether or not a Higgs is found) and the analogy to "charge current, qv" is simply "mass current, mv", also known as momentum.

        Ray, I invite you to read my essay again. I think you've missed something. I do read yours several times, and each time have been impressed with your treatment of the 'golden ratio'. As you know, complex things cannot be digested in one reading.

        I hope you look at some of the above references (I have many more) if you are still not convinced. I was surprised by your statement that mass (the gravitomagnetic 'charge') does not exist.

        The fact that I am the only person who has applied the Yang-Mills non-linearity of the C-field to particle physics has nothing to do with the existence of the field. It has more to do with habits of thinking that are based in linearity and the (always surprising) effects that derive from non-linear interactions.

        Edwin Eugene Klingman

        Hi Ed,

        I apologize for my ignorance. Are these other research papers using the same GEM model as you? I need to read those papers. Also, I had planned to reread your essay, which is why I haven't scored your essay yet. Yes - mass exists and I wouldn't be surpised if magnetic gravity exists. In fact, Coldea et al imply a relation between mass and the golden ratio (in a magnetic quasiparticle application). Check out:

        R. Coldea, et al., "Quantum Criticality in an Ising Chain: Experimental Evidence for Emergent E8 Symmetry", Science 327, 177 (2010).

        IMHO, the golden ratio emerges from the 5-fold "pentality" symmetry (please see my essay's Appendix Figure) of E8.

        I'm traveling this week, and won't be able to keep up with these posts. Hopefully, I can get some reading accomplished.

        Have Fun!

        Dear Ray,

        We are definitely in agreement that a solid state model is a good approach to understanding space-time. I'm not certain I agree with a fixed point lattice approach; yet there remains something "odd" about that whole issue. Fixed point lattice structures are incompatible with expanding universes. Well, I suppose the stress-energy tensor would agree with my sentiments.

        Physics is replete with relationships like:

        AA^-1=1

        B(-B)=0

        ...

        The list of symmetries is endless. When you said, "SUSY was introduced to solve the Standard Model Hierarchy Problem - "Why are both the

        Weak and TOE energy scales stable?" which IS a Scale Problem."

        It got me thinking about the nested loop nature of reality. In other words, parentheses are not just the irritating mistakes that screwed up our homework, they are something more fundamental and deeply entrenched within the laws of physics.

          Hi Jason,

          You said "Fixed point lattice structures are incompatible with expanding universes." The Spacetime we observe seems smooth and continuous because there are a very large number of occupied states at the Observable Universe scale such that these states blend into a seeming continuum. I was suggesting that the Dirac Sea (which is also reprented by the apparently discrete annihilation of creation ladder operators of Quantum Mechanics) might be a close-packing lattice when probed at the appropraire scale (say the vev of 246 GeV). If the "lattice bonds" of the "Spacetime crystal" are very weak (say on the order of Gravitational interactions ~10^(-41)) then these bonds could easily inflate and expand. If a very large, inflated Spacetime is the reciprocal lattice of a very small non-inflated Dirac Sea, then these scales and "lattices" may look and behave very differently.

          I'm out of town for half of this week, and trying to do a week's worth of work while I'm here. Hopefully, I can read your essay within the next 24 hours - otherwise I'll travel with it and have a response by Friday.

          Have Fun!

          Dr. Cosmic Ray
