Answer: momentum and mass are classical concepts, and a full explanation of non-classical objects such as the photon will eventually make much more sense than explanation that don't eliminate the classical baggage.
From: cjcountess on 20 Jan 2010 11:34 Thank you Al You know that I am serious, and that it is only a matter of time before I am vindicated, as I wait for all to catch up, "being ahead of my time and all". And so I thank you for that infomation. All true information can only help and collaborate my discovery, although you may think otherwise. This is fun stuff, watching you guys get nervious. You know that I am right don't you Al? Why do you think that I don't get mad at you guys, even though you speak disrespectfully to me? It's because I know that I am right, and that the day of reconing is approaching. I am saving my energy for that. Beside, I'm just a cool, cconfident, kind of guy anyway, and its easy to be confident when you know you are right. Its not just faith, it is confidence. that come from knowing, which itself comes from a deed insite on this subject Conrad J Countess

Planck SUPPOSED that the equation E=hf applies to photons. Einstein SUPPOSED E=m/c^2 is a valid concept due to the fundamental tenets of Special Relativity. deBroglie accepted on FAITH that Einsteins equation is gospel, and SUPPOSED that a single particular photon has the properties of both waves and particles, and also SUPPOSED that the equation E=hf=mc^2 applies to photons (not electrons). So ASSUMED that this was demonstrated by diffraction, constructive and destructive interference, so MISTAKENLY BELIEVED that the waves of light and other forms of waves indicated a smooth exchange from waves to particles, or a smooth energy to matter exchange THAT MIGHT, (not IS) be called the "energy/matter" duality.

They now call it "metaphysics" and dismiss it as "beneath' them. Little do they kmow that in the list of catagories of the ancient Greeks who invented the words, Phliosophy was at the top of the list, then came Metaphysics (above and beyond physics) and THEN came "physics". > All the current ideas of mass, inertia, and > all the dynamic qualities such as momentum, > kinetic energy are human mental cognizant > ideas, conceived through the inductive/ > deductive logic, reasoning, and rational > thinking of past geniuses.

A greater danger is that if the premise beneath the logical reasoning is false then the conclusion is too, even though nobody knows it. Example 1: The kinetic atomic theory is based on the secret answer "No" to the unasked question, "Is matter compressible?" Since that ancient answer is false, so is the consequent theory that all matter is made of ultimate particles separated from each other by empty spaces. > Furthermore this places a great > responsibility on the exactness and > preciseness of the definitions.

So you no > longer have to deal with the idiotic ideas > of the ether or a massless mass.... 1. Explain how a beam of light is a nonphysical force. 2. Define "mass"! (Long ago I defined density as "mass per unit volume". Then, noting that raw matter has no weight -- and thinking that it therefore has no mass, I invented a new word, 'dinsity" to mean 'mass per unit volume whether or not any of it has weight". Rather recently I realized that since I had defined "mass" as "a quantity of matter"; the word "dinsity" is superfluous. That led me to an immensely important discovery: The m in many of our equations does NOT denote mass, it denotes the WEIGHT of a given mass. Here are a few examples which show why it is important: In the following three equations, 1. e = mc^2; 2. longitudinal mass = m/q^3; 3. transverse mass = m/q^2, in which q = sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2); the symbol m denotes the weight of a given mass. Once physicists understand that they will instantly know that it isn't matter that converts into the e of equation 1; it is the weight of a given quantity of matter. [That's because matter becomes weightless when it is released from its organized pattern in an atom.] They will also realize that it isn't the quantity of matter in a body that depends on who's looking (i.e. the relative speed of looker versus looked at) it is its WEIGHT -- in kilograms. As to F = ma, since a is a constant for all values of m, in a given g-field, it is simple algebra to realize that the force of gravity is a function of the mass of an embedded body (or something like that). >< Furthermore, incorporating this idea into tenets of science does not at all contradict or conflict with any Natural Phenomenon demonstrated by Nature and/or God, so is still in accord with Newtons Philosophy of Nature. Therefore I do not just state that forces are nonphysical, I POSTULATE that forces are of a nonphysical quality. So this statement (i.e., postulate) needs no further justification. > And i POSTULATE that your statement is false. ;-) glird

I do not mean completely worthless, but nevertheless it is worth less than you thought it would be. Don't take this personally, but if you open your mind maybe you can ride the cutting edge of this wave with me. There is really no way around it, it is a tsunami, and will wash you and your work up, unless you get in step with the reality of this wave of discoveries and evidence. There is just too much evidence for it to be wrong. It may not be as perfectly stated as possible, but it is correct. ... You cannot admit when you are wrong either. And I am sure I can find plenty more examples. The evidence is overwhelming and you cannot escape its truth. ... I am a very insightful person, and it may be like boxing with a blind person the way I can show you up because you have so little insight. I would rather shine a light to show you the way, but your foolish pride may just make it necessary to be a little tough with you. You think you are so smart, but you are not. ... I can turn the world of physics upside down, in more ways than one. [snip] And then by making some of the most perplexing ideas in physics so plain and clear, that a child can understand it, but people like you cannot, thereby exalting the child over you. You and your ideas are obsolete. Conrad J Countess > Thank you, Conrad, for expressing exactly how **I** feel about those same things. It shows me that a bit of humility is better than the extreme hubris (??) we both have repeatedly demonstrated. Even so, I CAN turn the world of physics upside down in more ways than one. And then, by making some of the most perplexing ideas in physics so plain and clear that a child can understand them but physicists do not, thereby exalting the child over them. As John Wheeler aptly said, "Someday we'll understand the whole thing as one single marvelous vision that will seem so overwhelmingly simple and beautiful that we will say to each other 'Oh, how could we have been so stupid for so long?'" Amen. glird
