Wave / Particle Structure of Matter
My theory is in its early stages of development. My approach to this complex problem is simple. I am following the same path of discovery that lead us to where we are. So I started with a model of the electron I felt was close to the truth. Then see if I could explain its orbit, and so on. One step at a time. Some here is my humble attempt so far.
My W/P Theory of the atom.
The Electron.
Any discussion of the atom must start with the electron. I use this description of the electron by Milo Wolff. http://www.quantummatter.com/body_point.html
Milo gives a description of the electron as a Standing Wave Center formed by the intersection of two scalar waves. These are referred to as the In Wave and the Out Wave. The only addition I can make to Milo's electron happens after it's creation, Milo only dealt with how it was created.
As Milo pointed out, the Standing wave center will have a higher energy density which is the observed energy density of the electron. The out wave of the electron starts at the center and will encounter a change in energy density at the boundary of the Standing Wave Center. This will cause partial reflection of wave energy at the boundary, creating its own In Wave. This partly self sustaining action of this process accounts for the electrons more particle like behavior. If not resupplied with energy, a standing wave center will slowly degrade on its own instead of stopping as soon as the waves that made it passes. The waves permeating space insures the the electron will not run out of the energy needed to continue it's existence.
The Obit of the Electron.
Bohr defined the orbit of the electron as a result of the angular momentum of the electron. It can also be described with Mach's equation. http://www.wbabin.net/wahlin/wahlin.htm
This gives us a slightly different picture. The electron is not at rest in its orbit. The electrons orbit matches a wave node so that the energy gained and lost by In and Out Waves equal each other.
Bohr's method can be considered the electrons Out Wave to the universe, describing its current internal state.
Mach's method then is the electrons In Wave from the universe, adjusting its current internal state to match current conditions.
Mach's method shows that as the mass of the atom increases, the angular momentum of the electron will change, affecting its orbit. This is why Bohr's method when used alone, did not work with larger atoms. Mach's method provides a way for the electron to adjust to changes in mass within the atom. Without the In and Out waves of Milo's electron, Mach's method would not work.
The Nucleus.
Protons and Neutrons are composed of quarks. Quarks are sub-harmonics of the electron wave. The electron's wave would have its amplitude changed when entering a denser region of space. Any Standing Wave Centers formed at this time would reflect the change in amplitude. This is why they have 1/2 spin like the electron, and why there are anti versions of every quark. This also accounts for their fractional charge in relation to the electron. Asymptotic freedom and quark confinement are explained also, for details see my paper here. http://www.physics-philosophy-metaph...ach-vt483.html it is a work in progress, but a good start.
More importantly, it shows where all the anti-matter went to. Milo showed how, and experiments confirm pair production, so where are all the positrons? They still exist as the positively charged quarks in their sub-harmonic form.
Well that's the start of my humble theory. What do you think so far?
I think the user blogs is a great idea, it will provide a spot for all my papers and research. Better than sending people all over the web for them, and more convenient for me.
