  1. I do not necessarily think maths is required, its just common sense . One may require one rigorous discipline to deconstruct another rigorous discipline. But if you are outside of maths at the time, then common sense is enough. If you are inside maths, because you have built maths into your logic or reasoning , then you might well need maths to deconstruct. There is a danger maths is painting science into a corner. Very pretty floor surface, but now you can not get out of the corner. Better to have been the other side of the painted area. Hence , I am not presenting a mathematical argument, Neither am I presenting a lingual argument, I am merely using language to explain it. Should maths be used in some of the threads through the theory , all well and good , but not necessarily so. To some extent , it sounds like you are trying to say .." unless it has maths to prove it, it is not science " If that is what you are saying I thought we discussed that in another thread... ? which is where that argument should be ,no? I have made specific predictions and intend to make more. I think they have been falsifiable. As the subject of the theory is " Everything " I clearly cannot make "everything " happen or I would have to make the Universe . So I can only pick one 'specific' out of " anything and everything " . Much of the anything has already been and happened one way or another. [ which should be some form of evidence already], though there may be differences of opinion as to the happening mechanism. That just leaves "the rest " not yet "happened" , "happening ".or " yet to happen " Or at least Wow ! a tall order ! But as you say ,no good if I can not do it, Or perhaps have already done it ! Maybe you want a repeat performance ? ######################. ######################################## ########## An artist [ ABSTRACT ] impression of :- an individual ..initiative (top left ) ..opportunity tube...(middle diagonal) ..Happening (Bottom right ) Mike
  2. Yes. I do believe all you say. In fact i did have a love affair with maths up to 3 dimentional field theory, with Div. Grad and Curl . to mathematically describe Wave propagation. [ All three dimensions Complex numbers ] And all the TRANSFORMS . But she made my head hurt. So I fell out of love with her. I still love her from a distance . As long as she does not get too close ! In fact as I said before , I do respect she holds HALF the universe together [ only HALF ] . She won that half as her part of our divorce settlement ! mike

  4. Out of courtesy , I have listened to your mathematician on the video on Zeno paradoxes. I used to use an example of this in the classroom teaching environment, when amusing the students with puzzles , that trip you up easily , yet appear correct. I used to speak of a frog on a leaf in the middle of a pool jumping half way out. Over and over he jumped , but never ever got out. Zeno paradox. I do remember doing convergence and divergence at uni, and was quite captivated at the time how maths had amazing powers. I do not doubt for a moment the power of maths to manipulate and restrain. And am thankful for the strength of such and many more concrete rules. I am quite convinced the universe would fall apart if it did not have such strength in many underpinning laws within the sub atomic particles. I do however , just me, not everyone, find maths and logic far too restrictive and outright painful at times. And for that reason , respond to some of the less deterministic elements of modern physics, where things work from a statistical, random , emergent, selective, trial and error, feedback approach to determine an outcome. I in no way hold that either could exist without the other. Deterministic is absolutely essential , yet so is emergence by randomness, feedback and selection essential . ( allowing the hand to clap, the frog to jump out of the pool etc by " half and a bit, or whatever and a bit " ) That allows atoms to hold the universe from falling apart, but at the same time to grow into the most incredible structure in the entire cosmos. Although , I can follow maths to a reasonable extent, and can follow philosophy to a certain extent , I prefer not to battle in those two arenas maths and philosophy because of the problems of " stranglehold " which can limit ( as far as I am concerned ) being able to move forward ( as is the case with Zeno, Achilles , and the clapping hand and the frog. ) So I appreciate the concern you have with Zeno paradoxes, but I respectfully must say I do not wish to enter either a mathematical or a philosophical debate around this thread , lest it detracts from its goal to seek out a possible " Theory of Everything " . Call it the " Lingual (and a bit) theory of everything " if you will . I think the Zeno paradox is addressed by a) Achilles running half way ( and a bit ) , the clapping hand moving half way ( and a bit ) , and the frog jumping half way out ( and a bit ) . If you wish to discuss Zeno's paradoxes any more I would , and I imagine others would be prepared to discuss it either/ or/ both in the philosophy and mathematics threads . Part of the idea behind " A lingual theory of everything " was to have the very flexibility that is required to be free of some of the limitations of maths and axioms, so as to take advantage of the freedom and spaces that are available in an emergent universe. This is not un-scientific, just a little more difficult to get your head around than A+B=C. Mike
  5. The essence of this thread , is that Initiative and Space to fulfill the initiative are Key. At the start of the Universe there was nearly all space, thus plenty of opportunity to fulfill initiatives. Since then there has been a lot of activity of initiatives being fulfilled. Like we have Two major players [ Dark Energy and dark matter fulfilling a large opportunity throughout the universe, acting as threads about which ordinary matter may form , and expansion of space by way of Dark energy. Even the way of matter and photons is having its day, in seizing the opportunities in space to condense, combine, radiate and form the very matter of the universe as well as the photons of radiation. , Particularly on our home planet, life has seized many of the space or opportunities about the surface of Earth to live and exist. Many of these fulfilled opportunities can be examined in the context of this particular "Lingual Theory of everything" However, i would imagine there are many yet unfulfilled opportunities waiting for 'The right Initiative , to fulfill in the right space ' ,namely a space where the initiative is free to be fulfilled [happen] ' . Some of these opportunities more valued than others. One completely trivial initiative is to " move my right arm forward 10 cms" , no problem , fulfilled in three seconds. [ Utterly trivial. there was the space, and initiative and away we go , yet trivial. However this can be expanded to extra ordinary levels. We do need to examine the playing field. :- EUCLIDEAN SPACE link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-dimensional_space Euclidean space is basically 3 dimensions . Point, Plane, Volume x,y,z The following Artists illustration shows 2 or 3 examples of how nature has initiated [made an initiative to occupy the space presented], or has an opportunity and thus has no reason but to fulfill their initiative in the three opportunities offered by Euclidean Geometric Space . : - . Now the evidence that supports the artists science predictions. Mike Explanation of the above. :- The first sketch is an abstract picture of a very still mill pond. The water within the pond has assumed the level, that water does of complete flat plane. At this scale the surface of the water has assumed the two dimensions x,y. Of Euclidean geometry. A flat plane parallel to the surface of the earth. The picture also shows trees growing exactly at right angles to the surface of the pond. Straight upward. Similarly the grass blades are growing perpendicular to the water surface. Straight up. Bothe the trees and the grass have assumed the third dimension of the Euclidean geometry. The next three photos show the real evidence of this phenomenon. Straight up tree 90 degrees to surface. Of the earth. Straight up grass 90 degrees to surface of the earth. Self levelling water in the canal. Parallel to the surface of the earth. Thus without any human intervention, the trees grass and water have ' happened' along the three Euclidean dimensions , because there is no reason for them not to, and some self levelling system that allows a least resistance to operate on the water and the plants. :- . IN THE THREE DIMENSIONS OF SPACE. As described by Euclid. . You could say that the innate initiative in water is to self level, using a combination of gravity and flow. With plants grass and trees have some inbuilt or there exists something systemic in the environment, for plants to grow along the vertical field line of gravity or some other driver ? What quite makes grass and trees grow at 90 to surface of earth . . .?

  8. Now it is established :- electromagnetic waves start down at Very long waves and extend all the way up in frequency and shorter in wavelength all the way up through and including light waves from infra red to ultraviolet , and on up into Gamma rays at very short wave, very high frequency. The photon is a description of any one of these frequencies related to the minimum energy of Planck's constant [ as you correct to say it was plank who identified this number as a discrete value during his radiation experiments from an oven] . It was Einstein who identified quite what was going on , in his experiments with the photo electric effect of emissions from surfaces. to establish the PHOTON. True this was with light. But Maxwells laws on Electro Magnetic waves and connection with light was already established. Einstein got the fame with his Special theory of Relativity with the Photon as being a Quantum value of energy or Photon of Electro-Magnetic Wave Packet. [ a descrete value as an integer value of Plancks constant ] / So all these men contributed to the Theory Ampere, Faraday Maxwell, Hirtz, Plank Einstein etc } mike That is probably as clear as 'mud' , but I hope it helps.
  9. Well as far as I understand it : people like Hertz , we're playing around with sparks, and induced sparks across the room. Marconi was using this to develope transmission of these " effects" , Young was fiddling about with corpuscles of light, and Maxwall was doing maths on amperes magnetic fields and at the same time linking in the field lines of electric fields of Michael Faraday. He did all his perculiar sums , and came up with his equations. NOT FOR LIGHT but for radio waves. His maths for radio waves (electro-magnetic ) gave this 186,000 miles per second speed. And then as far as I know , he only then said " Eureka ... Light must be an electro magnetic wave like radio waves as light had already been established as traveling at 186,000 miles per second ( or the meter equivalent ) " Only then " after his eureka" could it be described as maxwells electro magnetic theory of light . Or at least that is how I understand it ! Mike
  10. Ok. You have asked me , so I will respond. This is not a criticism ! . All , , ( although fairly fundamental) , I was asking ANTON , for my sake, and maybe others ,:- Could you describe 6 individual simple , English , statements , as to what your theory is ? Just six sentences in English , no more , no diagrams , just words . It is probably brilliant , but I cannot quite understand it. It's something about everything coming from one particle ? I have looked at your web site , and I have looked at your thread. It looks very impressive, BUT I DO NOT REALLY UNDERSTAND IT , IN THE FORM YOU HAVE PRESENTED IT( that is at the moment ) . If you explained it in six simple sentences , I might THEN , well understand all the diagrams. Mike
  11. As far as I am aware. I had to learn it in UNI, Maxwell did all his sums from magnetic fields, and electric fields. They are a bit perculiar sums ( sort of summing up around the complete circle around the field , [A] for magnetism , and for electric field , then a bit of jiggery pokery maths ) but none the less the sums came out with a speed for electro magnetic waves. He was aghast that this speed was the same as the speed of light , previously known. He then deduced from this similarity : " Thus light must be electro-magnetic waves" , that was previously not known . They( people/scientists prior to Maxwell) believed something like light was , something else, name escapes ( corpuscles I think ! ) So Maxwell was the one to describe light as electro- magnetic waves ! Mike
  12. I appreciate what you are saying,. I will do my best . I do have a slight problem on two counts ( however I acknowledge that is my problem ) because .. 1) For a genuine reason , I chose to look for an absolute " theory of everything " , as opposed to a theory of unifying forces, or unifying particles or waves or both as many scientists are involved with. ( string theory, standard model etc) We all have our interests, and growing up and being educated in the science sector, but also in the philosophical era of the 1960's and 1970's led me to choose an ABSOLUTE theory of everything. As ,(as yet it is not proven that either MATH or the current PHYSICS standard model, string theory or various other models) , are even viewed as a ' Theory of everything ' I Chose language as a medium for developing a theory of everything , as it could at least speak about it. As indeed is to a greater extent still used on this forum as a versatile medium of communication. 2) Because I have gone for absolutely EVERYTHING , I have left myself wide open to people saying " give me something specific " . Which is a fair request, which I am trying to handle by going for things, like rivers, cathode ray tubes, fibre optic cables as specific examples, as well as saying a generalisation approach of " - Initiative, -Opportunity,- Goal, -Anything Happening " , which I appreciate are the ' vagueries '. Which you are picking me up on. Understandably! I appreciate it needs to fit within the wider scientific framework , however it is pointless me saying " here is a maths formula " or a deterministic path like " this does this , that does that, then this other thing does this followed by that". When I am finding out , this is not the true picture ( only ) of how the universe appears to work ( which is my personal brief ) , all-be-it that there are aspects of how the universe works that ARE DETERMINISTIC. But there appear to be a whole lot of other systems , that are not ( maths based, deterministic based , predictive , etc ) yet are none-the-less very much a part of the ' greater scientific nature of the cosmos ' I will think up some ways that will deal with this potential conflict, as I do believe in the development of this particular 'Lingual theory of everything '. , which many people like (. TAR and others ) have helped me develop. Mike
  13. GARDENS OF THE MIND ----------------------------------- At the crossroads of space and time, Soaring high above the void sublime. Is a land of beauty, peace and rhyme, We're in the glorious " Gardens of the mind ," Here I fly with wings of air, Touching tree tops as if not there. Blue sky beckons, into the sun I stare Dipping to earth, to swoop, to where? Zooming across the tectonic plate, France and Spain pass like a single flake. The Gates of Hercules pass in our wake Plunging seaward, westward, high, no mistake. Surreal I wander through labyrinth odd Books, pages turn in dust and sod There, writ, perceived as I nod Exists the forgotten ' name of God'. Rapture and regions of joy and love, Enter the eternal city above. All can wander and leave behind Earth ties, to wander in the " Gardens of the Mind " By mike smith. 1999
  14. Short version: is there any math to be found? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A TEST. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The inbuilt rules are :- notes on inbuilt rules :- [A] The Initiative is " send a single pulse down a " Tube of opportunity " The Space is " a Fiber optic cable " [C] The Description is " A Single wave transmission by a Soliton down a fiber optic cable " [D] The Maths is " Manakov system . From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . (Redirected from Manakov equations) Maxwell's Equations, when converted to cylindrical coordinates, and with the boundary conditions for an optical fiber while including birefringenceas an effect taken into account, will yield the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations. After employing the Inverse scattering transform (a procedure analogous to the Fourier Transform and Laplace Transform) on the resulting equations, the Manakov system is then obtained. The most general form of the Manakov system is as follows: It is a coupled system of linear ordinary differential equations. The functions represent the envelope of the electromagnetic field as an initial condition. For theoretical purposes, the integral equation version is often very useful. It is as follows: One may make further substitutions and simplifications, depending on the limits used and the assumptions about boundary or initial conditions. One important concept is that is complex; assumptions must be made about this eigenvalue parameter. If a non-zero solution is desired, the imaginary part of the eigenvalue cannot change sign; accordingly, most researchers take the imaginary part to be positive.References[edit] [E] The Links and Simulations Solitary wave simulation link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:BBM_equation_-_overtaking_solitary_waves_animation.gif Gravity wave link link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_gravity_wave Soliton Main link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soliton " Tubes of opportunity" link in this thread :- http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/72758-a-lingual-theory-of-everything/?p=758950 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike
  15. It will be a shame, if we have come this far in being men and women who have looked out on the world and stars to make some sort of observation that has fired them up to think new thoughts ...perhaps the world can be circumnavigated like Magellan . Perhaps the boundaries of energy usefulness and entropic disorder can be held back by another means? Let the visionaries of the future come forward, and rise up! Mike (. Ps. that is not a picture of me , it's Magellan )
  16. The best test for any theory is to see if it works. It is a theory that requires space, and initiative. Seek out the spaces. Creat the spaces. Take care with selecting the initiative. Follow the theory , use the inbuilt rules, TEST THE THEORY OUT. There are plenty of instructions, success tests and applications throughout the thread. The theory works , the natural environment uses it, living things use it, engineering designs use it, space flight uses it, it has been in use from the beginning of the universe. It does not belong to me. It just works ! It is all in the thread. Just ---- TEST THE THEORY OUT Mike
  17. where is the entropy here . What maths formulae can you write down for thiswhere is the next dandelion plant going to grow based on a single seed from this plantdescribe the cloud without words or pictures These are all top down phenomenon , yet they are typical examples of nature, and natures top down ways . But isn't she beautiful yet unpredictable . Could it be, that with all our great learning we are loosing the ability to still appreciate the wonder and sheer complexity of what is around us. And to achieve this complexity a major achievement is fulfilled before our very eyes, by whatever system is present to hold back and reverse the deterioration of order in the universe. Mike
  18. My summary of the distribution curve and comments, was not intended as a conclusion. But rather an interim summary, as there has been a certain amount of de-railment in recent times, and I was attempting to get things back on the specific track of :- " Trying to prove that ENTROPY does NOT have it , ALL its own way. " in other words I do Not believe the universe is going down some slippery slope of heading for more and more disorder, with energy becoming totally unavailable as time goes on . " But there is a counter GENERATION for want of a better word . " Going the other way " based to some extent on GRAVITY being responsible for pulling matter together in Stars and thus making Energy available " moving things toward Order and complexity by LIFE and other means " and not working in this closed system structure but being an OPEN SYSTEM " Now if we choose to call this clever, I do not think even you disagree with the term. Now, what may be proving a stumbling block for some, so as to call things fluffy, etc is that there are Two Types of Machinery going on here, and in nature generally. [----------------------------------------IMPORTANT -------------------------------------------------] [A] There is the BOTTOM UP system.. Particles upon particles, forces upon forces, fields upon fields, All neatly described by forulae, maths rigid science, deterministic science, ( all of which I have been grounded in as we all have, and come to love and rely, predict , calculate ON. Great But that is not all there is by any means, In fact it might even only be the foundation, yet in the minority. All you have is the LEGO BRICKS. You Do Not have all the building by any means Just Sub structure. There is a whole system of TOP DOWN going on not based on rigid science but on other probability, based, random based, statistical based MOLD based [where the mold is the currently existing [thing at the time] . Trial and error based, adaption based , selection based. Our world is not like it is because of JUST the atoms, its based on dust , sand , Water, life, , plants, gases from plants, animals,algae Bacteria .wind, clouds. True the atoms and chemistry is there plodding along at a micro level, but there is Top Down , Statistics going on in Stars. The whole thing is growing into some form of order, all-be-it sometimes Complex in nature. This Top down could be viewed as airy fairy , or fluffy ,touchy-feely , but I think it is BIG BUSINESS working together with the bottom up rigid Science. mike
  19. Although barely begun , the early figures show a bell curve type of distribution . Keeping things like " LIFE, GRAVITY, AND OPEN - SYSTEMS , on the left of the central peak " And things like " THERMO-DYNAMICS, SPREADING OF UNUSABLE ENERGY, CLOSED SYSTEMS , " on the right of the central peak . Although there is quite a bit of work there needed to prove the issue , SIGNS are good ! Here we have a spread from the idea of " GENERATION on the left to ENTROPY on the right. Already a clear indication of " CLEVERNESS " being a feature of nature , however it has come about ! Although I am sure Richard Feynman had a better picture in mind than a bell curve , but it is a start .. "I wanted very much to learn to draw, for a reason that I kept to myself: I wanted to convey an emotion I have about the beauty of the world. It's difficult to describe because it's an emotion. .......there's a generality aspect that you feel when you think about how things that appear so different and behave so differently are all run "behind the scenes" by the same organization, the same physical laws. ...... a feeling of how dramatic and wonderful it is. It's a feeling of awe of scientific awe which I felt could be communicated through a drawing to someone who had also had this emotion. It could remind him, for a moment, of this feeling about the glories of the universe. ". - Richard P. Feynman, Book. 'Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! ' Ps . For the Bell Curve then it is a Quote from , this thread page # 133 http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/81894-is-there-evidence-of-cleverness-in-nature-and-its-processes/page-7#entry794561 Richard Feynman page # 261 http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/81894-is-there-evidence-of-cleverness-in-nature-and-its-processes/page-14#entry803539 Mike
  20. One of the strangest ( to me ) answers I got to one of my profound questions , could relate to your statement, I was similar in rough belief, that things were likely to be far away. The profound question I asked was threefold as I had set up the protocol. ( involving these profound questions) Either (1) to the left ( some central location eg at the centre of the universe ,or some one single HQ type location ?) Or (2) to the right (distributed centres across the whole universe say per galaxy, local group or whatever ? ) Or (3) centre. ( everywhere . ) The answer I got shook me rather, surprised me, and has left me to this day feeling ..well...and wondering ,how ? ) The answer immediately Was (3) EVERYWHERE Do with that , what you will . I am still trying to get my head round it, as it was not at all what I was expecting ! Mike
  21. famous Scientist ENRICO FERMI :- There could be a different line of reasoning. That they are about, somewhere else, but have rules about revealing themselves to other conscious life unilaterally. . Like, they can not just go about barging into other conscious being lives, unless asked. . If I am wrong you will get no response. If I an right then you may get a response of some sort or other. mike
  22. A SOLITON is a PLANE WAVE ~~~~~~~~~ SOLITON ~~~~~~~~ So the wave front is at right angles to the direction of travel. If it is contained within a channel or tube , in theory and maybe practice it will maintain its amplitude for ever. [ as the energy in the wave is not dissipated on a spherical surface], as with inverse square law type propagation ( like heat from the sun . ) This sort of propagation is what is used when long distance communications are required. EG Radio Frequency Transmission often uses a yaggi antenna [looking a bit like HHHHHH ]also fibre optic cables. My observation are that wind starting a wave formation quickly converges into plane waves. Hence they arrive on the beach parallel to the shore. Also if seen out of an aircraft window the waves on the high seas appear as Plane waves. Sunami also arrive as plane waves. Mike
  23. But I have searched.... and I did the only thing I could do... That was to ask the most profound questions I could muster at the time . Like .. ~~~~~ Is there anyone there ? ~~~~ How did this Whole Lot come about ? etc mike ~~~~~~ Ask the g.. d.. questions ?
  24. Jolly Good. Now can you go away and bother someone else please . There's a good chap Mike
  25. You should know me better than that. I take people seriously, and I expect to be taken seriously. I think fairly laterally so some times things may sound fringe. In the lounge I might let my hair down slightly [ like the observer thread] even though there is a thread of profound truth in there somewhere. ] My consideration on the four aspects I have introduced here :- . 1] E-M , Photons 2] atoms 3] Dark matter 4] Dark energy , as having a major contribution to SPACE thus :- 1]The E-M and Photons are a minor player [by comparison ], yet precise field setter in Electro and Magnetic fields ( faraday and maxwell ) 2]Matter in atoms are minor players [ by comparison ] yet precise field setter in gravity distortions (general theory of relativity Einstein ) 3]Dark Matter is the Major Player in holding the Universe together by Gravitational fields 4]Dark Energy is the major expansive player, [ possibly by a rotating universe or other as yet unspecified Energy source.]( Rubens , Goedel ) FUNCTION and SPACE The two major players holding the overall structure of space in place, and controlled. The two minor players dealing with what constitutes space in the universe of light and matter at a finer scale. That is what I am proposing here as the ingredients and structuring of SPACE . In support of minor forces being responsible for major structures. The following three structures are supported with strength yet based on small threads under tension , small bars under compression, frail long , beams used to balance large structures. These are illustrative examples. Mike
