As soon as you say 'oscillating' then you have a periodic signal,

But it is not a continuous wave.
Each photon has its own separate oscilation.
True, a wave packet if you will..

Yes, could be, but why synced?
That would require interaction.

Well, somebody is going to yell at this.
They have been yeling for years.
Light moves at c wrt its source and c+v wrt the moving observer.
Didn't you know that?
I will try to give a diplomatic answer, it seems to me
that Doppler explains clearly the variable speed of light.
When I move towards a light source that has frequency 'f',
I pass through more maxima and minima then when I was stationary.
So the frequency is higher :-)
But the relativist make some epicycles to keep light speed
constant, and then get the same result.
What keeps coming back to me is Lorentz's LET theory,
where length contraction would be real, and a logical thing in some
ether, as then at speeds close to c things get compressed.
Now I avoided that subject nicely now did not I?
We still could use a good OWLS experiment. |

New matter comes from the mass and field of old matter in a coillider.

I dunno what your point is, or if you have one.
The point was in the rest of the post, which you cut. The point was: why
is the "little ball" analogy an adequate "mechanism", when it isn't
correct?
See the paragraph below marked '1'
'1'
Like I said: There is a limit to the depth (of our knowledge), and especially
_my_ knowledge, you have to stop somewhere, but it is needed to ask the question
'how' nevertheless.
The level of little balls (with charge of course) is in many cases sufficient
to 'visualise' or understand what is happening (like in a vacuum tube, or capacitor, etc).
And this is meant to say why the little ball analogy is a sufficient
"mechanism"? Have you thought of going into politics?
_You_ claimed that physics will not advance with "mechanism", and you
appeared to claim that the "little ball" _analogy_ for electrons is
sufficient "mechanism".
Quote: What you do isn't "arguing". You made a wrong statement, and cut
discussion of it. _You're_ the one who claimed that Newtonianism is
fundamentally flawed, and physics will not advance until we get rid of it.
Bull, I never claimed that.
You want me to quote you? Are you trying to deny that you claimed that
physics will not advance with "mechanism". (It would be useful if you
tried to define "mechanism", but we know that "field" isn't mechanism, but
the little ball analogy apparently is!)
Do recall that the whole Newtonian program was about basing physics on
mathematical models and being prepared to ignore "mechanism".
Quote: Perhaps if you presented some evidence for your case, perhaps from the
history of physics or other sciences, or at least discussed the topic that
_you_ introduced, it might be more interesting.
Bull, I did not start the topic.
You want me to quote you? Or are you weaseling? Sure, the OP posted that
we don't know what fields "are". But you were the one claiming that
physics will not advance without "mechanism".
Quote: Tell you what, mister first year textbook, back in the 1960ties I played with CRT,
designed my own TV, build it too, calculated the transformers, the deflection coils,
wound them, I know from experience how magnetic fields interact with
electrons.
It is nice stuff, not a lot of shouting 'Aristotle did', designed the electronics too.
You will see how electrons at various energies react, what happens when
you change the acceleration field, electromagnetic and
electrostatic focus, electrostatic and electromagnetic deflection
(scope versus TV),
Then vidicon cameras, now there is a different magnetic focus, where the electron
beam in fact rotates (and the picture with it).
Where did I use math? Where did I use that f*cking math?
Only to calculate the transformers, took me 2 days or so in my school days.
The rest was not very math intensive too, but oh what a wonderful world
of PRACTICAL experience.
And that was long before I worked in an accelerator plant, but boy does such a background
give you a clear picture (now where is that f*cking math again?) of what happens there.
Well done! Seriously. Sure, there isn't always much maths involved. But
where did you need "mechanism"? To do electronics, you need to know how
the things in the circuit behave. At most, you need mathematical models
describing the phenomena. Isn't Ohm's law enough to choose an appropriate
resistor for a circuit, even with no "mechanism"? Isn't trial-and-error
often enough, without mechanism?
And to return to your original point, will any of that TV building advance
physics, or fundamental theoretical physics?
Quote: The real physicists _know_ it is 100% experiment and 1% math.
I wouldn't say 100%/1% (or even 99%/1%). Certainly, experiment is
fundamental, necessary. But so is theory, unless you're a fanboy of
Francis Bacon. The Baconian method for how to do science is a stinking
pile of crap! Never ask lawyers/accountants to dictate the scientific
method!
Since neither theory or experiment will advance without the other, and
with no way to really quantify the contribution of either, I'd say 50/50.
Sometimes. experiment leads. Sometimes, theory leads. For example, fibre
optics. Lord Rayleigh did the theory, and it took about 60 years for the
manufacturing to catch up. Would they, should they, have bothered without
having the theory there that it should work?

Starting out with a lie could be construed a violation of your parole.
Never mind that, though, what is it about fields that you wish
to discuss?
BTW, this is the correct way to create an orbit:
http://www.androcles01.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Orbit/Orbit.xls
(even with Vista).
The field is centred on the focus... that's the fiducial mark near the
centre which changes its horizontal position as the eccentricity changes.
Panning across, one can see the generated (x,y) coordinates.
You may, if you wish, enter the value 200 into location C2 on the
spreadsheet and obtain a Wombat Wilson Wobbly Worbit, the
spreadsheet is designed for 100 pts.

You must have noticed that we still have Newton's equations, but have no

If we had, we would have been able to manipulate gravity.

This is the SAME thing.
Maybe your idea of mechanism is not of this world or planet.
Quote: Well done! Seriously. Sure, there isn't always much maths involved. But
where did you need "mechanism"?
Electrons, how they react to electric and magnetic fields, my whole
point in this case is, that without the idea of electrons as little balls of charge,
you cannot ever comprehend the experiments.
Quote: To do electronics, you need to know how
the things in the circuit behave. At most, you need mathematical models
describing the phenomena. Isn't Ohm's law enough to choose an appropriate
resistor for a circuit, even with no "mechanism"?
See, that is the difference between understanding and engineering.
Once you have dreamt up a configuration, then you can do engineering, and
in engineering use Ohm's law to calculate some component.
You cannot _I_ _repeat_ _CANNOT_ start with Ohms law and design
a circuit that does something.
To design a circuit that does something, you need a clue what electrons do.
Once you have your circuit, then use Ohm's law to get the quantities.
If I say: I need a 15625 Hz timebase that drives a S formed current in a 44 mH
deflection coil of 10A pp, and syncs withing 100 ns to a 4.7 us external trigger pulse,
you need to know about circuits, the _mechanisms_ in this case,
the calculation of the size of the components comes later.
Of course our brain does it parallel, you know just about what you need.
From experience, that is why without practice no way will you do that right
first time.
Quote: Isn't trial-and-error
often enough, without mechanism?
There are zillions of possibilities.
As a side subject, some really think evolution is based on random errors in the DNA or something.
But in my view, in reality the DNA is reconfigured by a mechanism that looks for what is needed.
Because that is how any design works, design is _NOT_ random tinkering.
Quote: And to return to your original point, will any of that TV building advance
physics, or fundamental theoretical physics?
Well, the things I did, using that experience, have contributed something to that
accelerator project, and that sure has done something for physics.
Quote: Sometimes. experiment leads. Sometimes, theory leads. For example, fibre
optics. Lord Rayleigh did the theory, and it took about 60 years for the

having the theory there that it should work?
Take for example all that stuff about optical cloaking.
Keep on trying
They did the math, published papers, but if you read it there are very tight
limits where it _could_ work.
Once you see that, should you keep investing millions in trying to get a
cloaking device that completely hides soldiers or tanks?
Not one case is the same I guess. |

find out yourself what I mean. Or maybe you look at the the thread
'simple
theory' on
sci.physics
, where I collected some of my
ideas.
Thomas Heger
I took a look at the isomap wiki but have not read the paper. The
short circuit concept feels pretty foreign but plausible. It seems
somewhat like imposing a planck distance but with some more freedoms.
As I read the coherent authors on this thread it is reassuring that
they admit that the electron is still puzzling. The context of the
discussion so far takes the electron as fundamental and I like that
too. But does the quark model need to be included to round out the
model? What about spin?
Spin I believe is conflicted in modern theory. We are told that this
is a binary quality of up or down yet the attempts to produce a spin
polarized beam of electrons is not nearly so simple as the Stern
Gerlach experiment portrays; the last I checked 80% was the best they
could do. Constantly we hear interpretations of 'shaving off' as in a
continuum for this supposedly binary quality. I have proposed in the
past that an improper transformation might be an accurate though
abstract model for the electron spin:

Spin is a property that foolows from symmetry of spactine:

Look at alle the movies, but 'air on dirac strings' is best
Quote: This is pretty tangential to the isomap concept but the polysign
system does expose natural dimensional reduction. For instance the 3D
sphere in the undergoes transformation down to a 1D structure and a 2D
structure at specific orientations under arithmetic product alone.
This behavior extends upward into higher dimensions though I have
little general work in P4+. Anyow assosiative algebra makes enough
claims to support this stance on dimensional reduction in high
dimensions.
There is a better tool called curvilinear distance analysis or CDA
Very important !!
Quote: But in terms of the raw electron whatever it may be shouldn't we
expect a clean mathematical model exists for it? If we accept this as
an assumption then the modern collage of mathematics is dubious. We
need a basis with more dynamics in order to simplify the particle
itself. Such a step would of course come with numerous side effects
which should line up with more of accepted physics. The only measure
of such a pure mathematical construction is in its consequences so
correspondence is all that matters. Beyond this any freedom should be
taken yet the basis should fold down slimly.
How can quantum mechanics be ignored? One simple attack on quantum
mechanics is to ask whether they ever recovered
F = q E
from their theory? I'm fairly certain the answer to this question is
no and that they impose this old field law atop their harmonic
oscillators and other various mathematical constructions. This is a
theoretical misstep since they've supposedly demolished such clean
behaviors and replaced it with probabilistic treatment.
I would appreciate some feedback.
Please have a look at my new paper

Quote: Hi Thomas. Here is some feedback on your google doc. I have a hard
time with this statement that you make early on:
"The model don't need anything:
-no fields
-no particles
-no physical laws
-no observer
-no coordinates
-no constants"
don't should be doesn't but my criticism is not about grammar or
typoos. You rely upon quaternions and they do form a coordinate
system. It seems you've been careful yet the page after I've quoted
you say:
I'm german and i'm not a writer. I gues style has to be changed.
What I did: I took all my postings here, selected the best, put them each on
one slide. They I shuffled them around, corrected them, add something in,
wrote a lot, sorted things out.
That was roughly the method. Its quick and dirty. So it would need some
cleaning.
Quote: "The observer has a specific role in this model.
The model is working without an observer, but to make some use of it,
it is neccecary to define a few units.
For this porpose an observer is required."
This is too sticky and I think by withdrawing the initial claims you'd
be better off. Such details prevent us from going deeper.
Interpretation and reinterpretation are fine to focus on I think, but
to deny some of the old traits and then come right back to them so
directly is not productive.
How many of your readers get to antisymmetric spacetime versus
symmetric spacetime under Handedness and Hyperspheres? Few I'll bet
and it is here that the interesting thoughts are going on. If you like
to think of coordinates as relations that is fine, but to claim that
you've destroyed coordinates is too much. Interpretation is allowed to
be loosely coupled and without this your own context cannot come
through. Instantiation of a quaternion on a piece of paper will
involve coordinates in the representation. I don't see any way around
that.
I didn't distroy coordinates, and that was not intended. I wanted to arrange
the tools appropropriate to QM and wick-rotate the whole thing into
relations of GR. The pivou point of this is the observer or Nil-point.
The shocking result is, that its really true and you CAN describe our world
by dimensionless numbers.

It is, for many purposes.
And physics can advance with the little ball analogy as "mechanism", and
it can't with a mathematical model of the behaviour of electrons?
Analogies and easily visualisable pictures are nice, and can be useful
even if they're fundamentally wrong, but how can such be _necessary_ for
progress?
Quote: What you do isn't "arguing". You made a wrong statement, and cut
discussion of it. _You're_ the one who claimed that Newtonianism is
fundamentally flawed, and physics will not advance until we get rid of it.
Bull, I never claimed that.
You want me to quote you?
Sure, do.
"MECHANISM is what we need, and until that day physics will not advance".
How is this not a claim that Newtonianism (i.e., priority of mathematical
model over "mechanism") is flawed? You've largely avoided any substantial
discussion of this point, largely by the simple tactic of cut-and-ignore.
Quote: Are you trying to deny that you claimed that
physics will not advance with "mechanism".
You must have noticed that we still have Newton's equations, but have no
clue as to what gravity actually is, so we have not advanced.
If we had, we would have been able to manipulate gravity.
That's a stinking pile of crap. Firstly, you ignore the progress that has
been made in physics as a direct result of Newton's law of universal
gravitation (for example, we understand most of celestial mechanics on
that basis; only a few cases require physics or mathematical models beyond
Newton's LUG).
Secondly, even if we knew what gravity _is_, that doesn't mean that we
would be able to manipulate it. We know what stars are, but can we
manipulate them? You might as well try to claim that we don't understand
history, because we can't manipulate it.
Quote: Bull, I did not start the topic.
You want me to quote you? Or are you weaseling? Sure, the OP posted that
we don't know what fields "are". But you were the one claiming that
physics will not advance without "mechanism".
Holy shit, you are daft are not you?
This is the SAME thing.
Maybe your idea of mechanism is not of this world or planet.
Don't be such an idiot! Did, for example, electromagnetic theory advance
in 1820-1920 or not? Was this an "advance in physics"? This period in EM
theory can be characterised by a discarding of "mechanism" (as the word is
usually understood in the context - perhaps you mean something quite
different, but it's hard to say, since you've avoided defining what _you_
mean by it). It's pretty clear that physics did advance, on stuff
concerning fields, in the absence of knowing what fields "are". It looks
like knowing how we can quantitatively describe the behaviour is more
important for advance.
Quote: Well done! Seriously. Sure, there isn't always much maths involved. But
where did you need "mechanism"?
Electrons, how they react to electric and magnetic fields, my whole
point in this case is, that without the idea of electrons as little balls of charge,
you cannot ever comprehend the experiments.
Electrons as little balls is fine for CRTs. Not needed for almost anything
else in electronics, other than shot noise. Do note how much of
electronics predates knowing about electrons. Do note how much of
electrons requires quantum mechanics, electrons as waves, not little
balls, to understand how it works.
Quote: To do electronics, you need to know how
the things in the circuit behave. At most, you need mathematical models
describing the phenomena. Isn't Ohm's law enough to choose an appropriate
resistor for a circuit, even with no "mechanism"?
See, that is the difference between understanding and engineering.
Once you have dreamt up a configuration, then you can do engineering, and
in engineering use Ohm's law to calculate some component.
You cannot _I_ _repeat_ _CANNOT_ start with Ohms law and design
a circuit that does something.
To design a circuit that does something, you need a clue what electrons do.
Once you have your circuit, then use Ohm's law to get the quantities.
So, you can start from the "little ball analogy"? Or do you need to start
at a higher level, and have some experience and knowledge of electronics?
Quote: Sometimes. experiment leads. Sometimes, theory leads. For example, fibre
optics. Lord Rayleigh did the theory, and it took about 60 years for the
manufacturing to catch up. Would they, should they, have bothered without
having the theory there that it should work?
Take for example all that stuff about optical cloaking.
Keep on trying
Trying what? But I see you didn't answer the question (again). Should they
have bothered? Should they have bothered without theory telling them that
decades of effort might pay off, if the engineering difficulties could be
overcome?
Quote: They did the math, published papers, but if you read it there are very tight
limits where it _could_ work.
Once you see that, should you keep investing millions in trying to get a
cloaking device that completely hides soldiers or tanks?
Who is investing millions in this effort? A lot has been invested in
reducing radar visibility, and it's worked. In any case, if the theory
says it isn't practical, why should that encourage further investment?
