Overhead of a famous ancient place of learning ( possibly in Greece or Alexandria , ( it escapes me at the moment) was the sign ) ENTER HERE ONLY HE WHO IS A - GEOMETER - The famous. Painting to go with BLAKE showed an ancient sage leaning over with dividers in his hand , measuring out the line. The first chapter in his book on relativity is called " physical meaning of GEOMETRICAL PROPORTIONS. It is all there GEO. meaning Earth. ..... METRIC . meaning Measure. Einstein started his book discussing what he saw as the fundamental axioms or discussion of his great scientific discoveries with the issue of position of POINTS......LINES........PLANES.........CURVES......... As the bedrock simple propositions (axioms) on which only if stated could one proceed with discussion. It would seem that the positional ....POINT..... and the strait line to the next .....POINT...... along the shortest distance ( using Euclidian Geometry) , must be a ....STRAIT LINE ..... Surely every crystal of mineralogy , every D.N.A. Molecule or bacterial form of life uses these basic Geometric phenomenon to go about their business of EARTH SCIENCE . You are always saying. " where is the maths ? " ......".There is the maths " at its most fundamental axiomatic level. And we are great , as humans , to perceive this most fundamental Geo scientific phenomenon . ( Earth science ) . No? Mike

On the Journey between both places, I thought about the change in position. I was traveling on the night bus between Stanstead Airport North of London via HeathRow Airport West London , across England to Exeter Devon West of England . The Bus took some 5-6 hours into the darkness of the night. I looked through the window into the darkness. the artistic vanishing points produced the perspective lines extending , forward into the darkness of the night by catching the road edge and the power lines. In those vanishing points I looked forward to the light of the next day. The driver carried us with all his lit up dials. My only close views were the back of the Blue seats infront of my Knees. My Positional Point travelled with me to my future spacial position. The other requirement for our internal orientation. Time SPACE - TIME I have in my hand a book first published in 1916 by Albert Einstein . Called Albert Einstein Relativity The Special and the General Theory It must be a later translation , as I did not think , general relativity came out until later 1918 or something. However I do not feel so bad now about going back to basics. He starts with rods and straight lines and propositions ( axioms ) , the position of three points on a straight line . Mike

As part of a series of blindingly obvious statements , I recently made the above quoted ' OBSERVATION ' . As my friends would say, " You are just stating the B....obvious ! " This may be true , BUT within the Blindingly obvious can be 'un noticed or just unseen in front of your very eyes ' or even ignored for some unknown reason or 'blind spot' But BTAIM ( be that as it may ) , I none the less made this Blindingly Obvious observation , during a recent spell abroad , away from my home country. ENGLAND. Here is the observation : Hence the Observation stated above . We are Position orientated and indeed also this :- [ and although a different subject all together -Time orientated ]

The First one of your questions was i think a Religious Reason. namely THE WEEK . Seven Days This appears in the first book of the Bible Genesis where it says God Created the Heavens and The Earth . It then goes on to talk about the different 6 days making the things on earth , then resting as a Sabbath rest day on the seventh day. Most People and Religions today think these days were not 24 hour days , but rather periods or eons of time . Where each period is day 7000 years or more , A Day being more an eon, period rather than literally 24 hours. This then allows religious people to still follow the Geological time scales found in the rocks , and fossils over the periods of vast timescales. However the division of periods into 7 is of Jewish/Isreal Origin , As far as I know . This then can compose a 7 ( 24 hour day )'s as making a week . Hence the Jews have a 6 day followed by a Sabbath day making a Week 7 Days. I am not a Jew , but I hope I have explained it correctly . The Christian countries of which ( being English of which I am a part ) and other people being English speaking ( American , Canadian , Australian etc ), , carried on the Jewish pattern of 7 day weeks under Christianity . ( I appreciate a lotof people in these countries have given up Christianity, but the nations like England, America, and Australia were founded during Christian thinking times ), hence our week is still referred to its Judao/Christian origin of 7 DAYS . I am not sure who did the DAY, HOUR, MINUTE [ need to think about that ! ]....... possibly Day was Jewish Genesis as well, ....Hour & minute maybe Greek, Roman, Italian , need to think on those . mike

So if I were able, Encased in a super special protective suit. With an 'initiating' magnetic pulse and an on board magnetic field of appropriate nature :-Then, I could spiral down the ' tube ' of magnetic field lines , down into the heart of a black hole . What a 'happening' As a more exciting ride ,than my ride with the cold currents around the Canary Islands . mike

Good thinking ' Bat Man' why did I not think of that. This is double slit experiment on the move {PDQ] . I will try and think while I am away. .. ,,. But I have that sinking feeling that Only maths will give the picture. ? As that way, you do not interfere and make the probability wave function collapse. ........But if you interfere you do get something ,.. but not the traveling Photon.... a grounded photon with a bent 'wing '... a collapsed probability ' wing '. ...... the energy of the photon is transferred to the resonant device.. YES ? ... it still remains what does maths say the photon looks like while it is thundering along un resonated with ? Am i back to my pictures again . mike

The last time I used an oscilloscopes they did have a time base setting in nanoseconds maybe 50 ns . so if a photon or RF signal of 100mhz passes by at one foot per nanosec . some form of electric field detector /sensors and magnetic field sensors , then somehow turn the transmitter down to gating for one photon per sync pulse . sit in the darkest of the dark room , and pulse for one photon at 30 sync pulses per second .The trickiest bit will be getting the stream of single photons at 30 hz. each pulse zinging a 100mhz for one photon worth each symc pulse itself going off once per sync pulse [30 times a second mike

Yes,but what does it look like, while it is speeding across space and time, winging its way, not yet in an interaction. ~ Unless of course its interacting with whatever we understand space now to be,[ all sorts of bits and pieces ] mike

Fine . Thanks Still have not got my head totally round what a photon looks like yet.? it has to have some 'presence ' surely This is not supposed to be it , but if it is an item , it must look like something ? or https://encrypted-tb...Fe8rGP5rUWmSOqQ mike

Does that mean the photon must have the identically same angular momentum to be resonant ? ( that is to the thing it is being resonant with ) Mike

ABERDEEN ! That's just before one drops off into the sea, next stop Arctic Circle. I have been as far as Dundee , but used to live in the Lake District , before moving back down South to Devon , from whence I came . Butterflies like the one I illustrated , flit hither and thither down here. ( score 2) . All you guys have is haggis ( score 5 ) running around in the heather.) ! I recon entropy must still be very high up there . The mountains are real old stock ( score 9.3 ) not refined down to our dessert red sandstone. ( score 8 ) I recon my " bell curve " is predictably taking shape. http://www.scienceforums.net/uploads/monthly_03_2014/post-33514-0-75629000-1393940049.jpg Mike

The paradigm shifts are essential for the journey into NEW PHYSICS. As much as legs are ok on land and essential , whereas arms for rowing or skills for sailing are on a seaward journey. LEE SMOLIN presented the case very well in the interview with HARD TALK BBC UK. . However ALL of the previously identified physics experts in the Perimeter Institute Canada are All working very hard to generate these new paradigm shifts in physics ideas. And they constantly have visiting experts like Stephen Hawkings and others . They urge this shift in order for physics to make major breakthroughs in our scientific endeavour on a par with Einstein type breakthroughs. Mike

Meet me here ;- ENTROPY SCORE 8 partially ordered And we will argue it out on the EXE estuary . Here at Lympston , down from Topsham . But don't come till after 26th March as I am off to my retreat in Italy to lick my wounds . And return to fight another round ! Mike. Ps where in uk are you roughly ?

It strikes me that this example shows nature with all it's generation capabilities , to take the processes that preceded the advent of butterflies , to produce such an amazing creature as this from a pile of minerals, water and gases. I think this deserves entropy to be taken down to 2 on my 0-10 score board at least . . ENTROPY SCORE 2 Well ordered. Mike

Yes I can follow all that. Be interested to know what the , "so matching a transition energy is not sufficient, but is necessary."goes on to require ? The classical is not wrong though as most short wave antennas are designed to be literally half a wavelength, or quarter wavelength, literally the dimension say for the 100m hertz namely 3 meter wavelength could work and resonate very well with a center fed halfwave dipole ( 1.5 meters long exactly ) tuned to resonance or similarly with an end fed 1/4 wave vertical antenna 75 cm antenna tuned to resonance. Not sure in these instances where the energy match occurs , perhaps in the tuned circuit. However I do understand about the quantum - photon number match for an exact energy jump ,in an atom .

I have just come out of a hypnotic trance by watching the wikipedia movie of the POYNTING VECTOR :- as follows . http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2e/DipoleRadiation.gif/300px-DipoleRadiation.gif The second part of your comments I don't quite understand. I understand about the need for resonance. interacting by resonance. I can think of that in terms of similar size , namely wavelength of wave , to physical size of the object being resonated with. But if there is resonance with something far smaller , it must be resonant with another characteristic ( perhaps energy value , or something else ). is that so ? or is it for collision reasons ? If you are right, which I presume you must be, that your comments a few posts ago. namely : resonant = opaque not resonant = transparent Must mean that ALL the photons, that came out of the recombination of 300,000 years approx after the Big Bang , sped out across the universe with only two prospects Resonate and be tied up in one way or another . or Go clean through everything for the continuation of time until the photon finds something to resonate with! That is pretty mind blowing ! Because we only see the photons in the small visible portion of the E-M spectrum. but If we looked through figurative eyes able to 'see' all wavelengths from :- Very Low Frequency radio waves, and even lower in frequency, through radio, vhf, uhf,infrared, visible, ultra .violet. x rays, gamma rays,: Then much ,much more would be transparent . We would look through to the bottoms of oceans, through dust clouds in the galaxies , through so much more on earth , through walls, and some way underground, . So much would not resonate and thus look transparent ,in fact be transparent to our gaze. . That is mind blowing ! https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT6qgT5C6OnsCh50LZWkW47krNQCugryAgbQznzDTPh2t104ftw Recombination https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTb4odmz7YwPegtvv6UAPrzYO_edQDBr0zbC5pv2-GTRd3kQDg5 Big Bang to today https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQoGiE_fc04bJBwpKLBbkF_3XwtWZ8MjwXgBlT1Leq8aL_f_KCiNQ Seeing to the Edge of the Universe and through walls . mike

Of course the wavelength is a dimension , an actual distance say 3 meters but the amplitude is only an intensity, say the intensity of the electric field or the intensity of the magnetic field . Whether it occupies a special area or dimension ? I am not sure.? I think it might do . .? But I presume that will depend on its value ? One can map a static electric field and a static magnetic field so I suppose you could map an alternating or oscillating field . But how big will it be ? Say compared to the wavelength . Anything I suppose ? I suppose what you said originally is the issue . What it resonates with ! So with 100 mhz something 3 meters . A large antenna like an old fashion HHH. TV antenna , Microwaves resonate with water molecules or there abouts , whatever size they are . Light is nanometers if I remember say 700nm ( 700 x 0.000,000,001 meters ) which is small atomic / molecular and x rays and gamma rays suitably smaller still. I suppose the instantaneous field intensity ( magnetic, or electric ) will be governed by the inverse square law. For distance from centre of line of travel of wave . Mike

Just tell me what the darn things look like , if you could see them ? Mike

Well can we take this in steps .like one piece of information at a time . If we are taking my example of a 100 MHz photon of radio frequency E-M wave. Then using 300,000 kilometers per sec as the speed of R.F. or light . Speed of light ( E.M. PHOTONS)=WAVELENGTHx FREQUENCY 300,000,000meters/sec= wavelength x 100,000,000 hz Wavelength= 300,000,000/100,000,000. = 3 meters Are you impressed ( my head hurts now ) that's why I choose 100,MHz So over that 3 meters like the length of a car . Where is the photon . Mainly ? Is it mainly in the middle 1.5 meters in. I know it's moving at 300,000km/ hour . But as it flashed by at about a nanosecond a foot , if you could see the photon. (Say only one photon was sent )Where would it mainly be . Remembering that the electric field could be going up and down , and the magnetic field going side to side. Would it be fussing about a rectangular cube 3 meters x 1meter x 1 meter ( if the amplitude is 0.5 meter ) , where this cube came roaring by . Was the probability somehow squashing down the amplitude of the wave , so it was not so high on its leading and trailing edge ( either end of the box ) . Or what . Maybe the fields are not 1 meter high but 1 mm high . So the box would be more like a spear , with a ripple along its 3 m ,length ? Maybe only 0.0001 mm high ? Now I do appreciate now more , that as swansont said before that resonance is the thing . If this 3mx1mx1m boxes come in succession. A) No resonance( transparent ) , they will crash there way through a wall. Or spear their way through , ( if the router is to give you the wi-fi ) . B) Resonance , ( opaque ) and they will be stopped dead in there tracks , maybe because the waves are higher and can not go through the wall and pile up as a lot of boxes , no doubt ,heating everything up , or ricochet off as a reflected beam of photonics boxes, ready for the next ordeal. Am I getting the picture right ? So the 100 MHz is the Electro Magnetic field oscillation up and down and side to side , zooming by at a frightful speed and the probability wave is completely separate as a fictitious presence indicator as to where in the 3x1x1 box , the oscillating field is ? As above

Yes but is it:- Or is it :- Mike As Above

One of the contributors is prof Lee Smolin Famous for loop quantum gravity theory among other things This interview with the BBC HARD TALK programme .. explains the dilemma facing physics currently . . Link :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?V=1_Fg8kRVwkQ Yes it does it's called :- lee smolin on string theory (full version) On YouTube ! I give up Mike

I would say " yes " to it getting thinner and thinner to infinitesimally small thinning, but real , influence from a concentration of particles point of view ( increasing sphere surface area ... Inverse square law ). But that is the density of number of photons per unit area . But this wave nature of the photon . ... I presume travels along its own single , trajectory , but has a small probability wave travelling with it , that does NOT get diluted but remains the same as it started off with , namely it's de broglie probability wave . As regards it's frequency of oscillation as say a photon of radio frequency 100 MHz , I presume it will be buzzing at 100 MHz as it ever was . Intact as it started out . Or have I got this all screwed up ? Mike

O.k. But the coast of this island that I would suggest we now need to think of leaving figuratively , by a paradigm shift in our view of the beginning , middle and end of the universe, is certainly indicated by some famous named scientists.

That would infer , that anything that is NOT RESONANT will be transparent. ? or have i got this the wrong way round ? We only see what is happening in the visible spectrum, where most things are one colour or another apart from water, glass and a few other things . but mostly coloured or black and white. Whats happening across all the other frequencies ( vast range ) where are the Resonances and where the transparancies , because we can not see what is going on ? mike
