I don't want to pre-emp what Marcus has to say, but if he means what I think he means then the correct term is 'patches' not small frames. And yes that would correspond to his comment about local since patches are locally flat and thus locally SR can be e.mployed. But then that begs the question How small is local or when is the extent too large? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) Indeed, the difference is most obvious approaching a black hole, the gravitation stretches you via inverse square, equivalent acceleration would smash you... But it would be it would be a straight linear smash. I am somewhat rested today, hopefully more coherent! I am realizing how much of my scientific experience has been learning and using existing math... Almost none of my experience is creating math. I will be creating the math to predict the diffraction of my particle passing through a slit. I must consider charge, as an electromagnetic field would make my results meaningless. Assume then that my particle is neutral, so my experiment will have to be driven by gravity. I must first consider the slope of the curve where my particle interacts with the slit, for each particle there will be 2 intersects x and x'. For each particle the difference will be the width of the slit(can someone suggest meaningful nomenclature for the slit width?) I must next find the resultant vector with the m slit as "a" and mx as "b" amplitude of a and b is a result of relative velocity between the particle and the slit. I must also consider that my particle is not 2 dimensional as in the chart, it is always interacting with the slit to some degree, I will need to add this factor as "z". Critique please? Oh my, a cascade of thought... My experiment could be conducted on a macro scale! Neutral bodies, small bb's perhaps could be dropped through a slit, the position of each could be easily controlled and the results very precise! Next thought, devastating or not? "The field" that is my particle is a gravitational field! I think, not devastating... I have stumbled upon something here!

Butch Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 A particle does not have a gravitational field, it is a gravitational field. A particle with no mass is a gravitational wave packet. I need to give thought now to spin and charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it's just not worth having you ignore everybody who is trying to correct your misconceptions. Yes, my intent was to show that the "spin field" would result in diffraction, my concern was how tiny the experiment would have to be, it occurred to me that a collection of my particles would produce the same results and more precisely in the macro. The collection could be atoms or molecules or even macro objects... Next my particle would have to carry no charge or the diffraction could be electromagnetic. My idea was that I would have to propel my object using gravity(I suppose I could move the diffraction grate), regardless the diffraction would be the same interaction as the chart from earlier, the diffracting force would be the gravity divot (the field reduction between the particles)... My particle then is a gravitational field. I say a photon is a gravitational wave packet and an electron is one of my particles that carries charge. As I stated previously I will have to now consider the nature of spin and charge as applies to my particle. As far as composite particles is concerned, I cannot see that on the horizon... yet. I do not however believe I am following a dead end, I will find what is over the horizon, especially with the folks here keeping me on course! You were correct in your loyalty to spin, I hope you understand however why I stepped away, to see what I would find.

I don’t know what you mean by “elastic” - a reference frame has no such property as elasticity, it’s essentially just a way to set up a coordinate system. Yes, I do indeed mean a small enough patch of spacetime - my terminology was a little sloppy here. 6 hours ago, studiot said: How small is local or when is the extent too large? A patch is usually considered “small” if its dimensions are on the order of 1/a, where a is the proper acceleration. However, this is just a rule of thumb, not an exact definition, and it does very much depend on the specific scenario at hand. 10 hours ago, studiot said: Interesting thought about frames - care to expand a bit?

You have to establish that it does this, too. Agreed, but I am wrong again! Imagine that! Where I need to proceed is our perception of gravity, even our most precise measurements. I still believe spin units are proper for my field, although it is indeed a gravitational field. Note that our experience with gravity lies outside of x=1, hence it appears weak, however if we could venture "inside" the particle (x<1) we would find no limit on the strength of the field. It seems that this is analogous to the event horizon and indeed it may be an event horizon. That abstract portion of my mind is going full steam ahead and pouring out ideas, but I will gird myself to proceed in a logical and when necessary mathematical manner.

Do you mean patches of spacetime with a non-zero Riemann tensor? 9 hours ago, Butch said: Working on it. It is clear that that OP doesn't want to take up my offer of a rough guide to tensors. So I apologise for possibly taking the thread a wee bit off topic with my 'elasticity=stretchyness' comment. That was completely additional to my reply about patches. So I will make one more comment for completeness. After that those who wish to take it further should perhaps do so in another thread. The whole point about patches is that you have at least two coordinate systems= frames. The usual method is one of linearisation ie the patch is a linear approximation to a more complicated system. The linearisation is implicit (= hidden in) the transformation tensor. But it can also be done the other way round so the patch is the nonlinear system set in a linear original frame and the equations of compatibility then made explicit. Examples of this are the Smith Chart and charts for radio navigation systems such as Decca and Loran. Then the 'stretchyness' occurs as non uniform intervals between the marking or divisions of the transformed coordinate axes. But it was only the tiniest weeniest bit off topic since my examples are plots of fields, but just from another point of view.

Mordred Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) No, the graviton or even the gravitational field has specifically spin 2 symmetry characteristics. This is confirmable via the detection of GW waves in so far as the transverse and longitudinal wave components behave as to the construct design of the LIGO detectors requires the those spin 2 symmetries to be accurate. I know getting more technical I would lose you lol but the wave components must be quadrupole which is represented as spin 2 under gauge symmetry. (requires the Gell-Mann matrixes for other readers) where as spin 1/2 defined under the Pauli matrixes. Edited June 17, 2018 by Mordred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
