Dear Eckard Blumschein,
You were kind enough to point out above that experimental results can be used as "proof" of a number of unlikely things, and to ask me to coherently summarize recent results that I claim support my theory. I thank you for your interest and also because, in writing this comment, I realized how much has transpired since I submitted my essay.
On these threads I've been challenged by those with their own ideas about reality, including: 1) QM proves reality is 'non-real' and 'non-local', based on Bell's inequality, 2) GR proves reality is 'geometrical' and thus I have no right to speak of a 'field'. 3) QED has dozen place accuracy and thus is unquestionably correct, and 4) 'your' interpretation does not agree 100% with 'my' interpretation, therefore you are wrong.
I believe fqxi is based on recognition of severe problems in current physics. For this reason I do not worship current physics. My approach to this is:
1) Quantum mechanics (QM) and General Relativity (GR) have not been unified, and I believe this reflects problems in both theories. They are idealized mathematical approaches to different scale phenomena.
2) Neither GR nor QM defines mass in unequivocal fashion. GR has no unique definition of mass and local mass is ill-defined. QM needs Higgs to explain mass, and Higgs has yet to appear, therefore I believe mass is the proper place to focus.
3) I believe ONE field to be a better explanation of reality than the HUNDREDS of fields that Susskind and others base their Multi-verse on.
4) One gravitational field seems to explain how the physical universe evolved from an initial state, the 'big bang' to our known universe.
5) Einstein's GR and Maxwell's GEM equations lead to a C-field that is the gravito-magnetic analog of the magnetic field. The electric field E is sourced by charge, the gravity field G is sourced by mass. The magnetic field B is induced by moving charge and the gravito-magnetic field C is induced by moving mass.
6) G and C are non-linear and hence yield Yang-Mills equations. The topology implied by the C-field is a Calabi-Yau manifold (that is a solution to Einstein's equations).
7) The C-field non-linearities lead to an explanation for all the known particles and particle families of the Standard Model, without any of the dozens of postulated particles, none of which have been seen.
8) Recent Phys Rev Letters have explained the 'fly-by' mysteries and other cosmological mysteries as C-field-based phenomena. The Gravity Probe B experiment has proved the existence of 'frame dragging' which is the 'geometric' approach to the C-field. The effect is real. If one prefers a geometric explanation, one says 'frame dragging'. If one prefers a field interpretation, one says C-field. The same equations lead to the effect.
9) Since 1998 it has been known that quantum electrodynamics (QED) has 120 orders of magnitude less energy than was believed. Yet this has been all but ignored by physicists who claim 12-place accuracy for QED. Recently muonic-hydrogen measurements produce only 1-place accuracy in determination of the proton radius. A recent study (PRL 106, 153001) concluded that standard QED approaches are excluded as explanations. The C-field approach would have predicted this proton anomaly.
10) Recent simulations (PRL 106, 151101) have shown that black hole spin-induced C-field vortexes dominate the merger and ringdown of binary black holes. The authors conjecture there is no other important dynamics.
11) Maeda, et al have shown electrons can exist in Bohr orbits if the 'noise' is suppressed, in contrast to the standard QM approach to electrons in orbit.
12) The basic equations of QM can be derived from the C-field, which can in turn be derived from GR. The C-field equation cannot be derived from QM. I conclude that QM is incomplete in Einstein's sense, and therefore no ultimate conclusions about non-local and non-real properties of reality can be drawn from QM calculations such as Bell's. Although Florin disputes this, no one has shown any logical error in the 7-step logic.
13) Peter Jackson and others have caused me to focus on the interaction of the C-field with photons. I have discovered a number of fascinating things, including the implications that it is the C-field that exhibits length contraction and mass increase in relativistic particles, and time dilation in gravity gradients.
14) Additionally, David Bohm ends his 'Quantum Theory' with the statement that QM "implies the need for a new concept of the relation between large scale and small scale properties of a given system." I believe that the non-linearities associated with the C-field explain this scale dependence.
15) The C-field leads to a 'particle-plus-wave reality' that is significantly different from Bohr's 'particle/wave duality'. (see 7-step logic).
16) Other anomalies listed in my essay include Halo neutrons, J/psi decay to three quarks, relative mass order in electron and quark particles, all explained by the C-field, mysterious otherwise. Additionally dark energy and dark matter are implied by the C-field.
Eckard, this is a brief summary of the recent occurrences that I believe all support the C-field as the most probable explanation of the mysteries and anomalies of today's physics. To my knowledge it is the only theory that derives QM from GR, with significant application to cosmological AND particle physics.
If you care to address any of these points I will try to respond to you on my thread.
I will also try to review your theory, but I have already stated that I am weakest where you are strongest, so I'm not sure how much help I can be.
Congratulations again on the amount of interest you have generated as indicated by the number of comments.
