Please forgive my pun in the title. This is actually a serious thread which started from ProfPat's "An Idea" thread. The idea herein was somewhat "off-topic" from ProfPat's, so I am restarting it here as a separate thread. Felix suggested I do some research about waveforms on TOEquest. So, I am soliciting assistance with such investigation. Here is the situation:
1. Fractals (objects from Chaos Theory/Mandelbrot) share a concept of being "self-similar". Basically, some pattern appears at both the smallest level and the grandest level of a fractal object. (See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory and the Lorenz Attractor for an example.)
2. If the universe is based upon a few laws, these must manifest at both the micro and macro scale. In other words, the universe will likely be self-similar. As a result, examining the largest scale objects of the universe may lead to insights about the smallest scale of the universe - particle physics.
3. A common notion in both particle physics and astrophysics is "spin" or "rotation". And orbital motions seem closely related. Given 1 and 2 above, then understanding spin/rotation of large objects may elucidate the realm of particle physics.
4. On a macro scale, spiraling appears to occur perpendicularly to some flow of energized phenomena:
4a. Aurora Borealis -

Typically the aurora appears either as a diffuse glow or as "curtains" that approximately extend in the east-west direction. ... Each curtain consists of many parallel rays, each lined up with the local direction of the magnetic field lines, suggesting that aurora is shaped by Earth's magnetic field. Indeed, satellites show electrons to be guided by magnetic field lines, spiraling around them while moving towards Earth. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_(astronomy) |
4b. Low pressure weather systems (northern hemisphere) have cyclonic air movement around a central column of warm are rising upwards to higher levels of the atmosphere. Meanwhile, high pressure weather systems (northern hemisphere) have clockwise air movement around a column of downward falling cooler air.
5. On a micro scale, spin continues to be an enigma (
http://dnp.nscl.msu.edu/current/spin.pdf).
QUESTION: If spinning on a macro scale disguises some perpendicular force, does spinning at a micro scale similarly disguise some perpendicular force? If so, could this perpendicular force hidden within the sub-atomic particle be a "string" (String Theory)? If not, could the hidden force be related to EMR in another way?
