    Re: Garden Variety Theoretical Physics for Talented Truckdrivers

    Hi, RP.
    I've had the persistent notion that the universe originates from the agitation of monopoles - that is, that the aether in motion results in two monopole fields which cause aethereal cavitation or, space, to us.






    I've reached Page 90 in your book and suddenly think that this notion is synomymous with your proposal...I'm just about to read about the 5th and 6th dimensions (which, btw, are my concept of God, or that-which-is-outside-the-universal-box and, as such, is based on faith), but here's a little food for thought:

    FROM WIKI: CLICK

    Some condensed matter systems propose a superficially similar structure, known as a flux tube. The ends of a flux tube form a magnetic dipole, but since they move independently, they can be treated for many purposes as independent magnetic monopole quasiparitcles.

    A flux tube is a generally tube-like (cylindrical) region of space containing a magnetic field, such that the field at the side surfaces is parallel to those surfaces. Both the cross-sectional area of the tube and the field contained may vary along the length of the tube, but themagnetic flux is always constant.

    READ MORE HERE: CLICK

    Magnetic flux, represented by the Greek letter Φ (phi), is a measure of quantity of magnetism, taking into account the strength and the extent of a magnetic field. The SI unit of magnetic flux is the weber (in derived units: volt-seconds), and the unit of magnetic field is the weber per square meter, or tesla.

    The flux through an element of area perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field is given by the product of the magnetic field and the area element.

    More generally, the magnetic flux at any angle to a surface is defined by a scalar producy of the magnetic field and the area element vector.

    The magnetic flux through a surface is proportional to the number of magnetic field lines that pass through the surface. This is the net number, i.e. the number passing through in one direction, minus the number passing through in the other direction.





    (In mathematics, the dot product is an algebraic operation that takes two equal-length sequences of numbers (usually coordinate vectors) and returns a single number obtained by multiplying corresponding entries and adding up those products. The name is derived from the dot that is often used to designate this operation; the alternative name scalar product emphasizes the scalar (rather than vector) nature of the result.)

    While the magnetic flux through a closed surface is always zero, the magnetic flux through an open surface is an important quantity in electromagnetism. For example, a change in the magnetic flux passing through a loop of conductive wire will cause an electromotive force, and therefore an electric current, in the loop.

    So, the orthoginal intersection of aether by an external magnetic field creates the monopoles which agitate the previously inert, surrounding aether and evolve into accretion discs: galaxies and their active galactic nuclei.




    Maybe, not so far fetched: CLICK

    Am I following you correctly, RP?

    Dear Leskey:
    In your first post in this thread you say, "I'm not particularly scientifically minded..."
    Whereas, the first post was thought provoking enough, but this latest one, above, is going to take a long time for me to contemplate.
    'Am I following you correctly?' you ask. The better question is whether or not I'll be able to keep up with you.
    Thank you for taking an interest in and being in the process of reading my book. Looking forward to more things to follow. Lol.

    The pleasure of reading your book is all mine as it's about my pet topic (and while I'm on the topic, I think that while reading your book between doing other things, I've worn out my welcome at that site and can no longer access it? ) ...and it's always a pleasure to be able to brain-storm a little. We all learn from each other...it's the way the world should be. IMO, information and design are much alike: there's no-thing new, only the fact that time reveals new methods for utilizing what is known...

    QUOTE LESKEY:

    '...aether in motion results in two monopole fields which cause aethereal cavitation or, space, to us'

    '...the orthoginal intersection of aether by an external magnetic field creates the monopoles which agitate the previously inert, surrounding aether and evolve into accretion discs: galaxies and their active galactic nuclei'

    In my own crude fashion, I'm alluding to inert entity (aether) becoming oppositely mono-polarized...commencing the process of interaction between two wave trains (interference?) which created the tubular(?) space within/between...so, maybe no bang? (This almost sounds eerily helical? and fits with my notion that the aim of all matter, which arises from light/electromagetism, is to achieve coherency).

    Another notion that I've stated elsewhere is that that gravity is the by-product of aether's natural tendency to 'return to the aether' or, to remain inert (but how's anyone going to ever prove that?). So monopoles are fundamental to gravity and gravity is the fundamental processor of aether.

    Of course, if monopoles/gravity is outward action, this means that it's wave form is light which not only carries information, but also accretes memory as it travels through the 4th dimension of time...

    Hmmm...didn't take me long to re-write my previous concept - LOL!

    Re: Garden Variety Theoretical Physics for Talented Truckdrivers

    You've rekindled my enquiry into monopoles and gravity, RP. Interesting: CLICK

    Monopoles look awfully like electrostatic charges, which in turn engage in the wave process of electrodynamics...? Et voila, there was light!

    BTW, I had timed out of your book site...back to reading...

    Re: Garden Variety Theoretical Physics for Talented Truckdrivers

    RP, this is probably not what you sought in this thread, but I'm having fun with it.

    Time constraints mean I've made slow progress with your book, Total Field Theory : CLICK. Please excuse these musings if you consider them to be completely irrelevant...also, you'll notice I'm pendatic about the meaning of words. It's by this method of examination that full understanding of context, on more than the a purely scientific level, can be gained (especially, for dummies like me).

    WARNING: STOP RIGHT HERE, IF WILD IMAGININGS ARE AN ANATHEMA TO YOUR SCIENTIFIC SENSIBILITIES

    "This is also the cause of what Einstein calls time dilation. The value of time is determined by the value of space it occurs in. Larger moments in 4D space result in relatively slower time, when compared with the value of time in smaller moments of 4D space."

    We have the tendency to view time as a linear process and yet, it may rather be a process of action density which can be precipitated by the presence, proliferation and activities (both physical and mental) of life? Is it then, that only only the eternal is linear...and time is a cyclic process of scalar 'gearing' (as lucidly illustrated by the Maya)?

    The Maya constructed their civilization around the concept of time, or more specifically the predictions of accelerating time - an interesting concept. For them, there was a clear understanding/awareness of the process of time. They dedicated their greatest structural achievements to the enduring record of this understanding...time has a direct and even more significant relationship to the proliferation of life - its output through related activities, and the emergence of increasing intellect and/or heightened consciousness - than is currently perceived.

    A BIT CLUNKY BUT

    INTERESTING INFO

    With the conclusion of each ever-shortening era, an 'evolutionary' re-evaluation is precipitated. For example, the dinosaurs were fewer in numbers and larger in scale...as intellect increases the scales of size, populations, and activities change...frequency and amplitude increase?

    "Consequently it becomes an independent co-ordinate system, having relatively larger values of space and proportionately slower experiences of time than its original co-ordinate system, earth."

    What could be defined as a co-ordinate system? The perception of time may be dependent not only upon the number of observers, but also their level of intellectual capacity and processing activity.

    "The (stubbornly unrecognised and denied) ever enlarging value of space is a 'non -absolute space,' which causes 'non-absolute time.' The fundamental input of this is that THE VALUE OF GIVEN UNITS OF TIME (seconds, hours, days, weeks, months, years) IS ENTIRELY DETERMINED BY THE 3D VALUE (size) OF THE SPATIAL MOMENT (co-ordinate system) IT (time/motion) OCCURS IN."

    I refer to the term, action-density (which I interpret as the relationship of mass to gravity), pilfered from research quoted in Austin's recent post in An Idea thread: CLICK

    Selected excerpts:

    Verlinde has proposed that Gravity rather being a fundamental force in nature is an emergent property of the information content of space time.

    The Verlinde proposal has it roots in the Ads/ CFT Correspondence which was first proposed by the Argentine American Physicist Juan Maldacena This proposal is also known as the Maldacena Duality, a duality between open and closed strings related by a boundary. The Ads/CFT correspondence is essentially the string theory realization of Sakharov's Induced Gravity theory which models gravity as the sum over the action density of the vacuum state. In the Ads/CFT correspondence , integrating over the open string states on a boundary is equivalent as the exchange of closed string states. Therefore integrating over the open strings on a boundary projects closed strings into a D+1 space, where D is the number of dimensions of the boundary. This leads naturally to the emergence of gravity and space. In this way the open/closed string duality supports the interpretation of gravity as an emergent property of nature resulting from the statistical tendency for physical systems to evolve to a maximal entropy state. Therefore gravity is revealed to be an Entropic Force, rather than a fundamental force of nature.

    Entropic forces are often invoked to model colloid physical systems, a fact which again seems to relate to the basic approach Sakharov applied to model gravity. An Entropic force points in the direction of increased entropy and is proportional to temperature.

    COLLOID: a substance that consists of particles dispersed throughout another substance which are too small for resolution with an ordinary light microscope but are incapable of passing through a semipermeable membrane

    We have to admit to the processing an inordinate amount of purposeless and/or detrimental information as individuals (LOL!), groups, societies and as the human collective...the current fleeting era stands testiment to this.

    Action density increases inertia...mass...gravity...it is decoherence of information/light.



    DECOHERENCE:
    • removal of the state or quality of: systematic or logical connection or consistency or,
    • dis-integration of diverse elements, relationships, or values
    (Does this sound like what's happening to our environment...our societies? I propose there is a definite relationship)
    .
    Abstract: Starting from first principles and general assumptions Newton's law of gravitation is shown to arise naturally and unavoidably in a theory in which space is emergent through a holographic scenario. Gravity is explained as an entropic force caused by changes in the information associated with the positions of material bodies. A relativistic generalization of the presented arguments directly leads to the Einstein equations. When space is emergent even Newton's law of inertia needs to be explained. The equivalence principle leads us to conclude that it is actually this law of inertia whose origin is entropic.

    Now, this last highlighted phrase is sounding very much like astrology - lol!

    ENTROPY: Etymology: International Scientific Vocabulary 2en- + Greek tropē change, literally, turn, from trepein to turn :
    a measure of the unavailable energy in a closed thermodynamic system that is also usually considered to be a measure of the system's disorder, that is a property of the system's state, and that varies directly with any reversible change in heat in the system and inversely with the temperature of the system; broadly : the degree of disorder or uncertainty in a system; the degradation of the matter and energy in the universe to an ultimate state of inert uniformity b : a process of degradation or running down or a trend to disorder

    A quick look at the definition of entropy confirms our present day state of affairs...IMO, it could be said that life is a concentrated form of action-density (accumulated moments of decreasing coherency) and, as such initiates it's own macro-interactions. So, is decoherence a selective process of increasing frequency and amplitude, accelerating the process of time, until...it re-turns...?

    Currently, in fast-forward, soon to pause and re-wind, then to play...a new beginning...?

    Re: Garden Variety Theoretical Physics for Talented Truckdrivers


    Hi Leskey:
    Although I don't recall the page # of my book, there is a passing mention of the concidence of Einstein's selection of the Greek letter Lambda /\ , to designate his Cosmological Constant repelling force that increases with distance - in consideration of the fact that the Mayan calendar features nine engravings (four of which are particularly prominent) of an icon that very much resembles Lambda, and to which the Mayans attribute the meaning of acceleration, and, '4-motion' - motion being synonymous with time, and of course plays a major role in Einstein's four dimensional setting.

    Would like to clarify here that, although I'm not a 12/10/2012 AD (Mayan Calendar) doomsday advocate, nonetheless it is notably peculiar that Einstein (however inadvertently) emerged in this era, to intersect with the chronology of the Mayans, to - in effect - parallel some of the translations of the Mayan calendar; borrowing your words from the preceding post:

    "The Maya constructed their civilization around the concept of time, or more specifically the predictions of accelerating time - an interesting concept. For them, there was a clear understanding/awareness of the process of time."

    You ask me to 'excuse' your musings if you 'seem to be completely irrelevant'... On the contrary, you have highlighted a relevant tributary of the central theme of accelerating expansion featured in Total Field Theory, wherein, as its author, I put Lambda on its side < and use it as an expression of expansion - moving from left to right from out of the past, into the future. The Mayan styled Lambda also appears to roll over in a kind of coil - resembling Riemannian geometry.

    Thanking you I am,
    - RP : )

    Hi, RP.

    Ummm, I think the above quotes are from around pages 125-6...when some avenue of thought is triggered, I branch off in a new direction for a little while ...

    I'll include the page numbers in future references.

    Re: Garden Variety Theoretical Physics for Talented Truckdrivers

    The following thread is a cogent example of an educationally expanding if bitter skunk fight that evolves into a resolute ending. It has to do with Einstein's Cosmological Constant and the acceleration of the expanding universe, though it sorta stumbles with some hostile misunderstandings along the way, it irons out and culminates ok.

    Old Hoyle’s ghost walked out the gate,
    Then returned to his living steady state.

    He gamed with the cousin Hoyle’s lot,
    Throwing the die away, upping the pot.

    (don't ask;
    I can't even figure this one out all the way,
    since it was written a while back.)
