Arrow The Dimensions of Charge - 09-24-2005, 05:53 PM

In Classical physics, charge is usually expressed as a single dimension. For example, current is equal to coul/sec. However, there are other units in Classical physics where the charge dimension is expressed as distributed charge. These units are capacitance, inductance, permeability, permittivity, and conductance.

We can see from analyzing the unit of magnetic moment that not only should charge be distributed, but there are two different types of charge.

What does distributed charge mean? Let's look at the length dimensions for a moment. When we have one dimension of length, we get a line. So one dimension of length is linear in nature. Similarly, if we take one dimension of time, then time is linear in the sense that it moves from the past toward the future without changing direction. Also, by doing quantum analysis, we can determine that mass is linear in nature, as well.

When we have two orthogonal dimensions of length, that is, two lengths at 90 degrees to each other, then we have area. Area is distributed length. Similarly, if there are two dimensions of orthogonal time, we end up with distributed time. Surprisingly, distributed time is widely used in the computation of planetary orbits as distributed time is "orbital period." Mass does not have a distributed characteristic. But charge does.

Mass always remains linear in nature, and similarly, charge always remains distributed in nature. Just as distributed length produces an area, distributed charge would similarly cover an area. But distributed charge is not inherently dependent upon a particular length. So we can have a charge of one coulomb squared on the surface of a balloon, add more air to the balloon to increase the surface, but the charge will not change.

Charge has been incorrectly presented in Classical and quantum physics as a point particle. In nature, there is no such thing. In reality, charge is a dimension, just as length, time, and mass.

What are the implications of charge being distributed, rather than single dimension? The implication is that since some units are already expressed in distributed charge, while other units are not, then some combinations of units do not appear to have the correct relationship to others.

Here's an example. In Classical physics, capacitance is equal to potential times charge. But if charge should always be expressed in distributed dimensions, then capacitance would simply be the reciprocal of potential. This would explain why capacitors have inherent potential. Just the mere presence of a capacitor means there is a potential present. The potential is inversely proportional to the capacitance. So as the capacitance increases, the inherent potential decreases.

However, if we make a very small capacitance capacitor, then it will inherently have a higher potential associated with it. But before you get the idea to build a free energy device from this, you should know that a one picofarad capacitor would only have a potential of about 1.71 picovolts. In order to tap capacitance as a source of free energy, we would need to engineer a nanodevice filled with billions of tiny capacitors wired in series and capable of withstanding the total potential.

These are some of the new insights offered by the Aether Physics Model.
