I BELIEVE GOD DOES PLAY DICE WITH THE UNIVERSE!



The above is the probability pattern for throwing any number in craps. With enough tosses that pattern will manifest itself, even though a throw of the dice could yield any number.

It's my belief that this is how quantum physics can be reconciled with Newtonian physics. At the atomic or subatomic level anything is possible but once enough events occur than a hard and fast pattern evolves, which you can put money on, and the casinos do.

Best to all,

You are right. At a subatomic level probability works best..

Hi Dipayankar;

I agree with you probability theory probably rules the sub-atomic world. This would explain the uncertainty principle, degrees of freedom and asymptotic f
freedom. Once the atoms combine to form a real substance like a grain of sand then there is a balancing of forces and classical Newtonian physics rule. Deterministic physics.

Once again I believe further evidence as to why an electron is a projection ( ripple or field ) emitted from the proton.

It is currently necessary to use quantum mechanics to understand the behavior of systems at atomic length scales and smaller. For example, if Newtonian mechanics governed the workings of an atom, electrons would rapidly travel towards and collide with the nucleus. However, in the natural world the electrons normally remain in an unknown orbital path around the nucleus, defying classical electromagnetism.

HMMM!! Our little electron defying classical electromagnetism.

Best to all,

Hi Prof.. since you believe in String Theory, can you give me a co-relation between a string and a photon?

PHOTONS ARE STRINGS

Thank you Dipayankar for a very good question that got me researching the internet for an answer.

According to string theory a photon is a string as are electrons and neutrinos.

This helps explain emission and absorption, spin, and gauge symmetry.

EMISSION AND ABSORPTION:
An electron may split into an electron and a photon. This is described in string theory as one string splitting into two.

SPIN:
A photon with a well-defined spin components ( i.e. in circular polarization ) looks like a tiny straight line revolving around it’s center.

GAUGE SYMMETRY:
In string theory, a photon is described by a tiny oscillating line, with the axis of the line being the direction of the polarization.
Thus it’s polarization must be transverse.

( Above taken from information contained in Wikipedia )

Further there would be no more dimensionless point particles, in that they would now be 1 dimensional strings.

Additionally, if the photon is a string it would indicate that the string does have the 7 dimensions of sound ( harmonics ) and color built right into the string.

Again thanks for the question Dipayankar, this has expanded my An Idea.

Best to you sir,

Pat

Prof arent photons point particles and strings one dimensional particles??

Hi Dipayankar;

I guess that is the question. A light wave is a 2 dimensional transverse wave which has 3d characteristics. But what makes up that wave, a point particle or a string. You have a problem with a point particle making up a 2 dimensional transverse wave but a one dimensional particle demands it.

Also I have a problem with point particle per se, in that if they are a point particle that would imply that they are dimensionless, which to me indicates that they do not exist,

When an electron splits ( another "point particle" ) it can split into another electron and photon, I don't know how a dimensionless point particle can split since there are no dimensions to split.
However if electrons are strings it's easy to visualize a string breaking in two forming two particles.

The jury is still out on this one Dipayankar, but my money is on the one dimensional strings.

Best,

Pat

Thanks to a link provided by AntonioLao I was able to come up with this image of Borromean Rings. It is the same as my Venn Diagram used in my An Idea.

The Borromean rings give examples of several interesting phenomena in mathematics. One is that the cohomology of the complement supports a non-trivial Massey product. Another is that it is a hyperbolic link: the complement of the Borromean rings in the 3-sphere admits a complete hyperbolic metric of finite volume. The canonical (Epstein-Penner) polyhedral decomposition of the complement consists of two ideal octahedra.

It is also a reported molecular crystal structure, though a bit more complicated. Given that I think it may be the structure of the quarks in my An Idea.
