An Idea

Hi Dipayankar;

How do you like my new avatar?

[dipayankar]

You are right Prof. I was reading in the Nature Physics Letters that the light interference patterns on a bubble sometimes takes the shape of a vortex. I think all these shapes conform to the minimalisation theory which means that nature stives to retain the shape that takes the minimal energy.

Hi Dipayankar;

While the vortex structure is in nature, I'm not sure that it's the preferred structure. There is also the cubical structure for crystaline substances; the spherical structure for stars, planets and other heavenly bodies; the circular structure for many galaxies; and so on. I don't know if nature has a preferrence for structure, rather it appears that form follows substance.

Best to all,

Pat

Its stunningly refreshing Prof. I was reminded of the Olympics

Hi Dipayankar;

It seems you may be refering to Dr. Wolfe's wave theory, which has a lot to be said for it.
Similar:

The contemporary action approach for physical systems yields the same results as those found using differential equations to describe the system, but only requires the states of the physical variable to be specified at two points, called the initial and final states. The values of the physical variable at all intermediate points may then be determined by 'minimizing' the action.

Here they seem to be discussing strings, when they refer to 2 points, beginning and ending. But again I have no problem viewing strings as vibrating vortexes. Also the electron orbital was mentioned in minimization theory. Additionally a closed string would approximate a circle. Which again may be viewed I guess as a vortex.

All I need is a yellow and a black ring to have the olympic rings. Of course I was using the Borromean Rings in my avatar to represent the foundation of my An Idea.

Best to you,

Pat

Just for my knowledge Prof. do you think a closed string and a vortex would behave the same way?

I don't know Dipayankar;

I'm able to imagine an open string more like a vortex, than a closed string, because of the shape.
A closed string would be more like the top of a vortex.

Hi Pat

Do you have a link for this? Is it the helical waveform theory?

Hi Felix;

There are a number of sites for Milo Wolff's theories.
Probably the best is his own site at:

Just be careful, remember Dr. Schrodinger stuck you in a box to see if you lived or died, and Dr Einstein wanted to stretch you from New York to London.

I'm not sure if I were you I'd want to be around physicists.

Best to you,

Hi everyone;

A bit off the subject ,but I found this awesome graphic by Austin. It represents to me an alpha particle, with 2 neutrons, seperating yet binding to 2 protons:


Thank you Austin for this image.

Hi Profpat!

I hope you don't mind but I was bored and decided to create an image for you. I re-did your diagram of the Octant. I hope I didn't butcher any of the information on it. You'll probably like yours more but if you want to use mine feel free.
