swansont Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I am an amateur, I do not expect to be taken seriously. I do expect to be treated fairly. I expect criticism to be constructive, non-repetitive and made by people who know that a theory that uses the average of selected results is less empirical than one that does not, regardless of the mathematical accuracy of any predictive powers that theory may have. They should also know that the allocation of arbitrary values (such as fractional charge) is speculation and the fact that it fits into a predictive mathematical theory, does not make it any less speculative. Perhaps if you actually responded to criticism it would not be necessary to repeat it. The problems that arise from referring to a mathematical prediction theory as science are not my personal opinion they are the opinion held by numerous leading physicists and the need for an interpretive theory is a claim also made by several leading physicists not just by me; I should not need to keep repeating the quotes. What part of physics is not mathematically predictive? It's language like this that undermine your credibility. I have no objection to my work being classed as speculation; I do have a strong objection to it being classified as Pseudo-science and speculation. Klaynos dealt with this particular failure of logic already, a few posts back. And you haven't answered my question about what false comment I allegedly attributed to you ("the totally false comment you attribute to me"). What was it?

Norman Albers Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 My brother, Steve Albers, is a meteorologist at the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, programming models to predict Midwest twisters. He told me two years ago what I was missing in presenting papers for journal review. I appreciated his advice, but had to answer the point about finding an experimental path by saying, "I believe there are very capable people who know experimental ropes and one of them will see what to do with my ideas if any of them are useful." By being able to present my material on another forum which I subsequently cursed when its leading figure got stupid and insulting, I was answered by 'solidspin' who stepped right into my dream. He is designing a modified NMR experiment currently. Check out his response on Lisi's 'Incredibly Simple Theory of Everything'; last I checked it has not been answered, though it is highly knowledgeable. To the principals in this discussion thread I express appreciation for the patience that is manifest. We must work hard to keep our attittudes open, and I am tired of the confrontational attitude which does appear most of the time. I got it in the face when I first posted material here, a year and a half ago. If no one is willing to help develop anyone else's ideas, I think much is lost. On the other hand, any theoretic offerings must be put on the table of development and trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have made just two constructive criticism of QT and given my reasons for doing so, that is not bias. Norman Albers There is a possibility that your brother is wrong. This arises from our failure to properly classify our work. We are not constructing a physics theory we are constructing a particle phenomenology, therefore predictions are not required. As MacGregor puts it “there is little point in building an elaborate theoretical superstructure if the phenomenology is not correct”. Concerning his own work MacGregor concludes with a statement on Particle Phenomenology that starts with: “the end of the path is still obscure…. It is worth reading the preface to The Power of Alpha to understand the place of phenomenology in the scheme of things, - clarity leads to peace of mind. regards elas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Albers Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Elas, that is an interesting statement you made. Once I started having an exchange with a well-versed physicist over the nature of the vacuum fluctuation fields. I found it annoying that he simply refused to respect the discussion ultimately. I said, the ground state of 1/2 in the E&M fluctuations demand this average expectation value. It is not clear to me that the quantum assumption, that there are virtual quantum states only, is the only useful interpretation. What theory describes as quanta "popping in and out of existence" I am approaching as a non-quantized stochastic background, because I can and it might be useful. He said, we cannot tell the difference so the discussion is moot. Arghhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elas Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 Norman Albers . It is not clear to me that the quantum assumption, that there are virtual quantum states only, is the only useful interpretation. I will try and explain how I visualize quanta and virtual particles in the CLF model. The value of a quantum varies in proportion to the wavelength. In the CLF model wavelength changes proportionally in agreement with changes to the Hall fraction and radii. I showed that while force equals anti-force at any point in the field; the total linear force and the total linear anti-force differ in value. This difference increases with each reduction in radius (wavelength and Hall fraction). In field structure terms an anti-particle arises from the force and anti-force field reversal of a particle; the difference in linear force (or energy) between particle and anti-particle is the quanta of that wavelength. It is the exchange of these quanta that allows particles to change their charge whilst conserving the total charge. (And incidentally conserving of particle numbers). It follows that charge is related to the difference between vacuum and anti-vacuum. ‘0’ charge particles occur when the vacuum field collapses (no difference between force and anti-force = no charge). The anti-vacuum field ( being matter) cannot collapse; it (matter) must now occupy the vacuum field of other particles. Where there are only gravitons present, the passage of large numbers of ‘0’ charged particles momentarily alters the structure of the gravitons causing the gravitons to become detectable in the form known as ‘virtual particles’. I have read some explanations of the virtual background where it is described as a ‘seething background’; given the vast quantities of photons present in space, the graviton field would indeed be ‘seething’. In all probability the collapsed vacuum force of the photons would, if expanded into electrons and positrons; account for a large part of the ‘dark matter’. What I am trying to say here is that the so-called background vacuum fluctuation is caused by the interaction of '0' vacuum (0 charge) particles with vacuum (charged) particles. Likewise it is the presence of '0' vacuum particles (neutrons) in an atomic nucleus that allows one of the meson pair (proton - electron) to be fixed in the nucleus. It is the matter of the '0' charge particles that does the work. A large part of the problem present in particle phenomenology is due to the practice of trying (and always failing) to use QT to interpret QT. We cannot use prediction to interpret prediction, it is a circular argument. We can use classical physics to interpret QT and use QT to predict the existence of classical entities; the two (classical and QT) are complimentary theories’ not rivals for the same territory. Classical is the reality and QT is the prediction of that reality. swansont Klaynos also said "Fruit and nut... does not imply the nut is a fruit." What does Klaynos call the fruit of the Hickory tree (we can all play with words). I don't see how you get from this statement to your conclusion. Saying something is missing does not mean that the missing part will be without mathematical prediction. MacGregor writes that particle phenomenology is not required to predict but, I now realize that those who use QT to write phenomenology are of a different opinion in that they require prediction. I can't find any post here where I said you were biased against quantum theory. I said you were dissatisfied with it My apologies you did not use 'bias'. I think 'dissatisfied with QT' is not the best description of my opinion; I am dissatisfied that so many people are prepared to enter the realms of string theory and brans but, cannot open there minds to a classical solution. Interpretation requires something other than more predictions. Again, take this issue up via the appropriate channels Unfortunately I do not have the time. My personal circumstances leave me with little alternative than to write replies in haste which is why I so often fail to make a good case. When I have time to do some real work I spend it trying to develop the CLF model but I have yet to assemble the various sections (presently in individual pdf files) into one body, and that is my current priority.

elas Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 Norman Albers With reference to the relationship between vacuum fields and the other properties of particles. I have used MacGregor's work to show how the vacuum field relates to electric (SF) and electromagnetic fields. Now go to http://69.5.17.59/Brynstrctr.pdf and there I give a brief comment on the work of Klabucar et al. The point I am making is that the only constant is again found using linear force which is a measurement of the vacuum field; but this time it is the constant that give the quantum difference between particles. Sorry I have not time to go into more detail. regards elas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elas Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Norman Albers I am dissatisfied with my earlier reply, so I have done a quick piece on particle/anti-particle collision that is not specific to any one class of particle.

I might see further if you could patiently elucidate the fundamentals of your construction. I have constructed a new table using only Hall fractions sequences published by academics. The fractions in col. (a) can also be found in my table of particle structure where the relationship between fraction, mass and radius are tabulated. http://69.5.17.59/hftbl.pdf The table supports my proposal that Tsui fractions represent a measurement between particles, the so-called incompressible fractions are a combination of particle fraction and bonding fraction that can be derived from either axis. Col. (d) shows that all the particles, defined by both axis, in cols (a) and (b) are in reality the same particle in different states of compaction, that is to say there is only one elementary particle. Although Heiselberg's table includes a number of fraction not found by experiment, it should be noted that the calculations in my proposal produce only those fractions that have been found by experiment. (My interpretation is shown in blue type). Elas, I have been reading your offerings with a fairly open mind, and I respect the fact that you see a useful calculus.
