Yves Couder and friends are clearly looking at hidden variable theories: Here is a 3 minute movie with the above slide: The pilot-wave dynamics of walking droplets Here is a paper about eigenstates, etc… Self-organization into quantized eigenstates of a classical wave driven particle (Stéphane Perrard1, Matthieu […]
Constructing a Geometrical Dipole - Can’t be done, it would seem, since gravity is spin 2. Well, electromagnetism is spin 1, but we have tech gadgets and a billion transistors on one chip. So can one construct a machine that behaves like a dipole? Take a canonical dipole. Two radio antennas, both vertical, one transmitting, the other receiving. The question […]
Is the strong force ‘just’ electrostatics? - I read this paper today like a breath of air. What if the electron is not a single negative charge, but rather an onion like arrangement of charge, with an excess of 1 unit negative? Same for the neutron and proton (instead of 1/3 charged quarks). Have a look at the image on the right. […]
What is Quantum Mechanics - How is that even a question? Previous posts have all not mentioned quantum effects at all. That’s the point – we are building physics from General Relativity, so QM must be a consequence of the theory, right? Here are some thoughts: QM seems to not like even special relativity much at all. It is a […]
Lessons from the Woodward effect - Re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodward_effect Now I’m not sure that he is onto something real or not, although experiments are still being performed which detail positive results. He does have some pretty convincing arguments about what happens to an object with a varying mass: Let us suppose that, viewed in our inertial frame of reference moving with respect to […]
The gravitational electron - I will show with a few simple equations how it could be that electrons and electromagnetic theory can be constructed from GR alone. 1) The electron is some sort of GR knot, wormhole or other ‘thing’, which has one property – its mass is moving from 0 to 2*me in a wave pattern. Well actually, […]
All physical theories are wrong. Where will Quantum Mechanics fail? - History has showed us that all physical theories eventually fail. The failure is always a complete failure in terms of some abstract perfectionist viewpoint, but in reality, the failure only amounts to small corrections. Take for instance gravity. Newton’s theory is absurd – gravity travels instantly, etc. But it is also simple and powerful, it […]
So what are electrons, really? - According to the accepted theories of physics, this question is not in good taste. An electron is described by charge, mass, and a few other parameters. But there are no ‘whys’. Why do electrons have a charge of 1? or a mass of 0.511 MeV? No one knows. Most physicists will not think or worry […]
