Dear John Donoghue,

Your out of the conventional foundations box work, is essential to the expansion of knowledge, as "spacetime" is a askew fundamentally. I would argue that Space and Time are two immutable constants, equal to the notion of infinities existence, which is a constant we of finite mathematical means will never understand. In other words if a Tree falls and no one hears it, does it still make a sound? The Answer is Always "Yes." Time and Space are of that capacity. The refinement of Time and Space, which Space ONLY will be subject to gravity within a finite spectrum is a worthy endeavor, that will enable better understanding of our physics. In other words, Space does not curve or warp, nor does Time, save particles or waves in Space bending their motion based on gravities influences. The misnomer of curved "Spacetime" is a thought problem, that has misled us for too long and your work, I hope will better open perspectives to view the world, as it really is. Both "Finite" and "Infinite" and a twain of which will never meet. Confusing the two has been our scotoma, our myopic view for too long. Note: Our Big Bang Universe in only a Planck's size and 10 fold smaller, relative to the larger Universe beyond our own Big Bang universe. Once we understand the scope of our ultimate "Thought Problem" of the Alpha and the Omega, which has no beginning nor end, we will build upon a foundation that will liberate our sentient intelligence to see, within and possibly beyond our finite limitations.

Your work is a wedge into that inevitable change that physics will provide to us in a much fuller manner someday.

Congratulations to you and your colleagues...

Dear John and Collegues

I appreciate this kind of work(disscusion) though some points are not clear to me. In general I believe that we all do same thing (searching for Knowledge)though we may have different aspects. I think a fundamental problem is that we can not understand something, unless we undretand it's basis

Here are some statement from the collegues "What is well understood can be expressed clearly" from Marcel-Marie LeBel

"Your out of the conventional foundations box work, is essential to the expansion of knowledge" from Russ Otter

which remembers me the qoutation of Betrand Russell "Passive acceptance of the teacher's wisdom is easy to most boys and girls. It involves no effort of independent thought, and seems rational because the teacher knows more than his pupils; it is moreover the way to win the favour of the teacher unless he is a very exceptional man. Yet the habit of passive acceptance is a disastrous one in later life. It causes man to seek and to accept a leader, and to accept as a leader whoever is established in that position".

I would like you to ckeck the essay named "A Linking Theory of the Structure of Matter from Ultimate elementary particles to Astrophysics" and to have your advice

    Dear Bashir Yusuf,

    "fqxi is based on recognition of severe problems in current physics." Wasn't Edwin Eugene Klingman correct in that? I am trying to show that tense-less physics and some inappropriate putative basics of mathematics relate to improper use of abstraction.

    Dear All,

    The answer to how the universe emerged and appears the way it is lies with in us. We just need to introspect ourselves and realize that we are the singularity or one with the universe.

    who am I? I am vitual reality, I is absolute truth.

    Love,

    Dear Eckard

    I agree that Edwin Eugene Klingman correct was correct, saying that "fqxi is based on recognition of severe problems in current physics." (more general in current physics).

    Klingmans essays is one of the essays that I think contain lot of more rational facts including "Yet this cosmological and particle physics explanation for current physics is far simpler than many physicists wish it to be" because, as Robert Godwin says

    "One begins by abstracting from concrete existence, and ends by attributing concreteness to the abstraction" and many more.

    I also suspect the way I expressed my essay, linguistically, because it seems to be different from what I expected others understanding.

    However, "If someone claims some improper issue, reason must be included, since reasoning is governing the acceptance of a Scientific Theory" and there is no problem.

    The most serious challenge the current Physics is very basic and easy understandable if we change our view to a more conceptual one.

    I try to clarify what I think its important and simplest view the nature and the reality behind it. To reach the destiny of Reality, one could follow its right track since it has analogue property.

    "to explain any and more fundamental reality, must based on Matter, Space and Time issue, I think is very Important which we could try deeply understand. Here lies foundation of physics. So long, these three terms (Gram, meter and second) are valid we may achieve a rational concept of things. In other words I don't know how to express any reality without this minimum requirement. Otherwise, controversial situation arise here.

    Can matter be converted energy? If yes, what is the meaning of Energy? Can matter be converted time? Can matter be converted wave? I already experienced some physicist claiming there are no particles in fundamental level, when tried to get insight, get difficulty can waves exist alone? What makes waves? How particle can a mass-less? How can we explain, an inexistent particle? Many more likely....

    When I've tried to answer one of these questions every thing became illogic and some kind comedy. Finally I realized that there important to have at least the most basic units to explain things rationally. Like our word combination makes a sentence which understandable.

    Best wishes.

    Bashir.

      Dear Bashir,

      "One begins by abstracting from concrete existence, and ends by attributing concreteness to the abstraction". Indeed, the latter is questionable unless one carefully checks what got lost with the abstraction.

      While virtually all contemporary physicists including fqxi members seem to be ready to question nearly anything in order to maintain SR and QM, I prefer looking for obvious fallacies affecting foundational reasoning in mathematics as well as in physics. So far, nobody refuted my objections.

      I suspect "braking the universe's speed limit" is one more helpless attempt to avoid admission of quite simple mistakes.

      Regards,

      Quantum gravity requires gravitational and electromagnetic equivalency -- with regard to force/energy -- that involves balanced/equivalent attraction and repulsion and balanced and equivalent inertia and gravity.

      F=ma would then ultimately be shown as balanced -- in any successful understanding of quantum gravity -- in keeping with inertia and gravity that are balanced and equivalent.

      Alas, gravity, obviously, is not so weak after all. That is obvious. You see and feel the feet/ground while standing, right?

      Dreams fundamentally unify physics and prove everything in this post.

      I have independently created "TIME THEORY OF EVERYTHING".

      My main research interests are Physics, Modern Cosmology , Philosophy, Particle physics, Relativity, Time, Theory Of Everything and Economics.

      My interests are very broad, extending from origin of the Universe and the origin of life, to the deeply philosophical.

      I like to ponder the big questions of existence: How did the universe begin? What is the destiny of mankind? Is there a meaning to the universe? and includes the nature of time, the properties of black holes and quantum field theory.

      TIME THEORY OF EVERYTHING

      [Time Cosmology: Time to re-study Time.]

      Created and Written by KHALID MASOOD

      TIME THEORY OF EVERYTHING is The Time Universe Theory.

      I propose, only Time exists in the Universe. Only Time exists and all that exists is Time.

      At the heart of physical sciences is physics, and at the heart of physics is Time. The Universe itself or the laws of nature are time.

      Time Creates Space, Life, Consciousness, and the Universe itself. You, the computer, everything is part/form of time.

      Time is the only entity. Our classical and modern view of the physical world is wrong.

      Time tells matter how to create, matter tells time how to survive!

      No particles, no waves, not both and no vibrating or dancing strings. Only "FLUCTUATING EXTREME LEVELS OF ENERGY" write Everything of the Universe, including our consciousness and also Theory of Everything!!!

      The only truth about the physical universe is that the universe is not physical. Life and matter of the universe, is nothing but a physical illusion.

      The smartest phenomenon of the universe is the universe itself.

      On the whole universe is shapeless, massless and weightless.I CAN PICK IT UP!!!

      Einsteins second law, m = E/ c^2 i.e. m = E/ c2 [ How mass drives from

      pure Energy] raises the question whether mass can be understood more deeply

      as energy. And can we build, as Wheeler put it, "Mass Without Mass"? are the

      best predictions in favour of my "Time Theory of Everything."

      In my view the first question is How pure energy drives from time?. The

      universe is not what it used to be, nor what it appears to be, as Frank W

      ilczek of MIT quoted in first chapter Getting to it of his book titled "The

      Lightness of Being" [ mass, ether, and the unification of forces ] also

      supports my theory. Infinity is finity on the whole.

      There is nothing original under the physical phenomena. All physical

      properties of the universe are secondary in nature.There is a universe behind

      the physical universe which is dark and primary universe. If a Theory of

      Everything is Holy Grail of cosmology, Time Theory of Everything is Holy

      Grail of Modern Physics!

      Physicists are hunting for an elusive particle that would reveal the presence

      of a new kind of field that permeates all of reality. Finding that Higgs

      field will give us a more complete understanding about how the elusive

      universe works!

      I believe in bold imagination in research. I believe the universe is not acadamic,

      and is not bound by our physical theories. Capture Higgs particle, eyes on a

      prize particle, the search for the Higgs boson [God Particle] and creation

      of micro black holes is nonsense idea.

      Higgs boson is not destiny. We have to re-study TIME and ETERNITY.

      Basic and primary stuff of the universe is not physical. All matter, energy,

      and fundamental forces of nature are secondary and referred by a unified

      primary force of nature. There is a co-ordination force in between God

      and all secondary forces of nature, which is more important than Higgs boson.

      I suggest this force is TIME.

      Higgs boson [God particle] should be named Time particle.

      Time is invisible presence and the only basic building block of the universe and everything in it.

      Time is so central to the state of physics today, so crucial to our final

      understanding of the structure of matter, yet so elusive,

      that I have given it a nickname: 'The God Force'!

      Time is at the very heart of physical discovery from the nature of matter

      to the origin of the universe.

      It is also a fundamental driver of everything in the universe. Many of

      tomorrows discoveries and technologies will emerge from Time physics.

      MOTHER OF ALL FUNDAMENTAL FORCES.

      [A union of forces and time]

      Time is mother of all fundamental forces.

      "Forces-time" in which time exists as fifth force with four fundamental

      forces.

      Deep down, the particles and forces of the universe are a manifestation of

      time.

      TIME is a coordination force of the universe and multiverse referred by

      nature.

      Nothing has independent existence except time.

      Password of time is in the Mind of God!

      Everything in the universe,followed the laws of time.

      Tell me about the nature of time, I will create the Universe!!!

      If all cosmologists of the world say a foolish thing it is still a foolish

      thing!

      I WILL CHANGE THE HISTORY OF TIME !

      God does not play particles' game with the Universe.

      Spacetime has no fourth Dimension.Universe is three dimensional.

      The theory of time "t" as a fourth dimension of space, three dimensions of space and one dimension of time is wrong.

      All dimensions of space are time's dimensions. Time is not the 4th dimension.

      Space is not 3D T, space is 3TD. Time is the distance between two dimensions.

      Time is the longest and shortest distance between two dimensions.

      Time is mother of all dimensions. Dimensions are the result of time.

      TIME IS NOT A MANUFACTURED QUANTITY. Time has independent existence and

      is fundamental. Space is a manufactured quantity and secondary form of time.

      Space is only a display of time.

      I believe in infinite extra time dimensions only, and I know what

      these dimensions are, but I don't believe time as extra dimension with space.

      I dont believe in extra spatial dimensions.

      The universe exists in three or 10 dimensions of time.

      [as string theory proposed, 10 of space and one of time dimension] There

      isnt just one dimension of time, says Itzhak Bars of the University of

      Southern California in Los Angeles.There are two. One whole dimension has

      until now gone entirely unnoticed by us. Two time / 2T Physics [New

      scientist 13 October 2007, Hypertime, Cover story] Why we need two dimensions

      of time? Why not we need 11 and many more dimensions of time?

      A NEW HYPOTHESIS:

      [EXTREME LEVEL COSMOLOGY]

      EXTREME LEVEL THEORY:

      The study of the theory that all fundamental particles and vibrating one-

      dimensional strings are fluctuations of zero-dimensional and unidimensional

      Extreme Levels Of Energy.

      Extreme Level Fluctuations create the universe.

      Extreme level connections create mass, gravity, forces and everything in the universe.

      No-particle Proposal:

      Elemental building blocks of Nature are not particles.

      I dont believe particles in any shape or dimensions as basic building blocks

      of matter, energy, and everything in the universe. I have an alternative

      Fluctuating Extreme Levels hypothesis which is a part of my Time Theory of

      Everything [Extreme Level Theory] Extreme Level Theory suggests that basic

      building blocks of everything in the universe are composed of Fluctuating

      Extreme Levels of energy. In Extreme Level Theory of time, Extreme Levels

      correspond to different entities and quantities.

      EXTREME LEVEL FLUCTUATIONS OF TIME CREATE AND DETERMINE FATE OF EVERYTHING. If Extreme Level Theory

      proves correct, photons, electrons and neutrinos are different due to changes

      in the fluctuations of extreme levels. Prior to Extreme Level Theory,

      subatomic particles were envisioned as tiny balls or points of energy.

      Extreme Level Theory works on the premise that the tiniest subatomic bits

      that make up the elements of atoms actually behave like Fluctuating Extreme

      Levels and not like vibrating or dancing strings. Photon is no more now a particle, a wave, or has features of both.

      Photon exist at fluctuating extreme level of energy.

      About the "Origin of Mass."

      For decades, the prevailing view in physics agrees that the Higgs field gives mass to matter, with the mediated by a boson particle called Higgs.

      But no one has seen the Higgs boson yet, despite the considerable time and money spent in his quest to particle accelerators.

      Time Field:

      The mass comes from the interaction of matter with the "Time Field" or "field Time" and not from field Higgs. There is noHiggs Field.

      Time field is "zero point field" and zero energy state of time-space.

      Time field is the lowest energy [zero-energy] state of time. That is extreme level of time in my T.T.O.E.

      TIME THEORY OF GRAVITY

      TIME GRAVITY:

      Gravity is time's force.

      I believe in my 'physical' motto: "Time tells space how to create, space

      tells time how to expand and bend."

      Deep down, the particles and forces of the universe are a manifestation of

      time.

      Time is the distance between two places.

      Time is the longest and shortest distance between two places.

      Gravity is a manifestation of Time-space.

      P.S: It's Time-space and not space-Time. TIME COMES FIRST.

      Our entire research focus must be on "How time interact with matter and

      energy?" and "Time, matter and energy, how they interact with each other?"

      Time can take the form of motion, light, electricity, radiation, GRAVITY.....

      just about anything honestly.

      Time theory of gravity is the best rival of General Theory of Relativity and

      Quantum Loop Gravity.

      TIME THEORY OF EVERYTHING will change the phenomena of new physics-extra dimensions, entanglement, entropy and information, black holes, tunneling, Bose-Einstein Condensates, chaos and complexity, dark matter, dark energy and meaning of Matter, Energy, Natural Forces, Consciousness, Life & Extraterrestrial Life and Death.

      It's not time, it's matter which is disappearing from the universe.

      Time is God, God Time.

      THE UNIVERSE IS A TIME MACHINE.

      The Universe Is nothing but a Time travel.

      God can't exists outside of Time. Nothing exists outside of Time.

      I am part of the universe, as my heart is part of me. Therefore I am part of God.

      Variable Speed of Light in Gravity

      The top of a tower of height h emits light downwards. As the light reaches the ground, its speed relative to the ground is:

      A) c' = c(1+gh/c^2) (Newton's emission theory)

      B) c' = c(1+2gh/c^2) (Einstein's general relativity)

      C) c' = c (Richard Epp, Stephen Hawking, Brian Cox)

      where c is the initial speed of the light (relative to the emitter). The frequency as measured by observers on the ground (e.g. Pound and Rebka) is:

      A') f' = f(1+gh/c^2)

      where f is the initial frequency (as measured by the emitter). Clearly A' is compatible with A and incompatible with B and C. That is, the Pound-Rebka experiment actually confirmed the variation of the speed of light predicted by Newton's emission theory and refuted any different variation.

      Pentcho Valev

        Gravitational Frequency Shift Disproves Both Special and General Relativity

        The top of a tower of height h emits light downwards. If, as the light reaches the ground, its speed relative to the ground is:

        c' = c(1 + kgh/c^2)

        then, in gravitation-free space, as the observer starts moving towards the light source with (small) speed v, the speed of the light relative to the observer shifts from c to:

        c' = c + kv

        Newton's emission theory of light says k=1.

        Einstein's general relativity says k=2.

        Richard Epp, Stephen Hawking, Brian Cox and many other Einsteinians say k=0.

        Clever Einsteinians know that k=1 is the only reasonable solution, and although they would not discuss the issue explicitly, k=1 is implicit in their interpretations of the gravitational and Doppler frequency shifts:

        Michael Fowler, University of Virginia: "What happens if we shine the pulse of light vertically down inside a freely falling elevator, from a laser in the center of the ceiling to a point in the center of the floor? Let us suppose the flash of light leaves the ceiling at the instant the elevator is released into free fall. If the elevator has height h, it takes time h/c to reach the floor. This means the floor is moving downwards at speed gh/c when the light hits. Question: Will an observer on the floor of the elevator see the light as Doppler shifted? The answer has to be no, because inside the elevator, by the Equivalence Principle, conditions are identical to those in an inertial frame with no fields present. There is nothing to change the frequency of the light. This implies, however, that to an outside observer, stationary in the earth's gravitational field, the frequency of the light will change. This is because he will agree with the elevator observer on what was the initial frequency f of the light as it left the laser in the ceiling (the elevator was at rest relative to the earth at that moment) so if the elevator operator maintains the light had the same frequency f as it hit the elevator floor, which is moving at gh/c relative to the earth at that instant, the earth observer will say the light has frequency f(1+v/c) = f(1+gh/c^2), using the Doppler formula for very low speeds."

        Substituting f=c/L (L is the wavelength) into Fowler's equation gives:

        f' = f(1+v/c) = f(1+gh/c^2) = (c+v)/L = c(1+gh/c^2)/L = c'/L

        where f' is the frequency measured by both the observer "stationary in the earth's gravitational field" and an equivalent observer who, in gravitation-free space, moves with speed v=gh/c towards the emitter. Accordingly, c'= c+v = c(1+gh/c^2) is the speed of light relative to those two observers. Both special and general relativity are violated.

        Pentcho Valev

        Einstein refuted in a single sentence:

        University of Texas: "Thus, the moving observer sees a wave possessing the same wavelength (...) but a different frequency (...) to that seen by the stationary observer. This phenomenon is known as the Doppler effect."

        For the moving observer the formula:

        (frequency) = (speed of the light wave)/(wavelength)

        is valid, and since "the moving observer sees a wave possessing the same wavelength", the shift in frequency can only be due to a shift in the speed of the light wave relative to the observer. That is, as the observer starts moving towards the light source with (small) speed v, the frequency shifts from f=c/L to f'=(c+v)/L (L is the wavelength), which obviously implies that the speed of the light relative to the observer shifts from c to c'=c+v, in violation of special relativity.

        Pentcho Valev

        Special Relativity Is Obviously False

        Paul Fendley: "Now let's see what this does to the frequency of the light. We know that even without special relativity, observers moving at different velocities measure different frequencies. (...) This is called the Doppler shift, and for small relative velocity v it is easy to show that the frequency shifts from f to f(1+v/c) (it goes up heading toward you, down away from you). There are relativistic corrections, but these are negligible here."

        That is, if the frequency measured by a stationary observer is f=c/L (L is the wavelength), the frequency measured by an observer moving towards the light source with speed v is:

        f' = f(1+v/c) = (c/L)(1+v/c) = (c+v)/L = c'/L

        where c'=c+v is the speed of the light waves relative to the moving observer. Clearly special relativity is false.

        Note that the fatal formula c'=c+v is derived from f'=f(1+v/c), a formula that can be found in any textbook (Fendley's text is neither unique nor indispensable). If v is small, the relativistic corrections are negligible and both c'=c+v and f'=f(1+v/c) are virtually exact formulas no matter whether the relativistic or non-relativistic Doppler effect is considered. (If v is great, no profit for special relativity - it can be shown that the relativistic corrections make c', the speed of the light waves relative to the moving observer, even greater than c+v.)

        Pentcho Valev

        Special Relativity Is Obviously False II

        The observer starts moving away from the light source with speed Vo, and accordingly the speed of the light waves relative to him shifts from c to c'=c-Vo, in violation of special relativity.

        As a result, " in a time t the number of waves which reach the observer are those in a distance (c-Vo)t, so the number of waves observed is (c-Vo)t/lambda, giving an observed frequency f'=f(1-Vo/c) ":

        Tony Harker, University College London: "The Doppler Effect: Moving sources and receivers. The phenomena which occur when a source of sound is in motion are well known. The example which is usually cited is the change in pitch of the engine of a moving vehicle as it approaches. In our treatment we shall not specify the type of wave motion involved, and our results will be applicable to sound or to light. (...) Now suppose that the observer is moving with a velocity Vo away from the source. (....) If the observer moves with a speed Vo away from the source (...), then in a time t the number of waves which reach the observer are those in a distance (c-Vo)t, so the number of waves observed is (c-Vo)t/lambda, giving an observed frequency f'=f(1-Vo/c) when the observer is moving away from the source at a speed Vo."

        In other words, the frequency shift from f to f'=f(1-Vo/c) is caused by a shift in the speed of the light waves relative to the observer, from c to c'=c-Vo. Special relativity is OBVIOUSLY false, which explains the behaviour of many Einsteinians nowadays:

        Ordinary Einsteinians leave the sinking ship in panic.

        Einsteiniana's high priests leave the sinking ship in a well-organized way.

        The Most Crucial Question in Relativity

        A light source emits a series of pulses the distance between which is d (e.g. d=300000km).

        A stationary observer/receiver measures the frequency of the pulses to be f=c/d.

        An observer/receiver moving with speed v towards the light source measures the frequency of the pulses to be f'=(c+v)/d.

        The most crucial question:

        Why does the frequency shift from f=c/d to f'=(c+v)/d ?

        Answer 1 (fatal for relativity): Because the speed of the pulses relative to the observer/receiver shifts from c to c'=c+v.

        Answer 2 (saving relativity): Because...

        I know of no reasonable statement that could become Answer 2.

        Seen light and the EM radiation source of the seen light are different phenomena. What is seen will be called light. The source will be called EM radiation (EMr).The period of the EMr is invariant under translation and unaffected by the way in which the product of EMr processing by an observer is seen to be (produced from EMr scattered to the observer from source phenomenon). The period of the EMr is independent of observation. EMr period is not equivalent to the seen light frequency. Seen light frequency does depend on the rate of receipt by the observer. So it is not independent. On the constant speed of seen light: the received EMr can be considered a signal. Information can be obtained from it. That information depends upon the particular 'frequencies' (periods) and intensities of EMr emitted, at that particular time (uni-temporal Now). Faster receipt gives faster acquisition of temporal information (pertaining to time of emission) and the converse for slower receipt. So the perceived passage time produced from the input signal varies with rate of input. Making the seen present time 'flexible'.

          To be clearer; Making the apparent passage of time, obtained from the sequence of observed presents, flexible.

          This provides the two kinds of time needed by physics. Sequential foundational passage of time; the sequence of configurations of the existing universe. Always a singular configuration, so it is the same and only time everywhere. This prevents Grandfather type paradox and is the kind of non relativistic time physics needs for the happening of (rather than observing/sensing) of physics. Foundational passage of time is not a geometric dimension. As future and former configurations are not existing but can be imagined and form part of models. The second kind of time, from the processing of EM radiation (or other sensory information) is within the spacetime of the products. It allows non simultaneity of seen or heard events and relativity without paradox. It is a dimension of the product, if an amalgamation from signals of different 'existing universe configuration' origin. These kinds of time are not contradictory as they pertain to different phenomena.
