Hi Timo, its been a long time...

As to your comment above, yes, please note 'this philosophy' which can
be also interpreted as in 'this case'. And sure, it's enought to get
by with for the time being. If that is, in fact the goal then all of
science might as well be a religion with fundamental 'beliefs' forming
its foundation.

I think the key term here is the word experimental. In that context
I agree, data is data and should not be laden with speculations. Thus
my fundamental disagreement with Tom Robert's claim that one cannot,
possibly, do an experiment without first having a theory in which to
frame it. Faraday's experiments are a great example of this. But,
that is not what I'm talking about here.

Correlations are useful, fruitful and point to understanding. But, if
he or you believe(d) that correlations are enough then then you think
reversed 'engineering' not fundamental understanding is sufficient.
And I, and I think other find such philosophy a poor excuse for
science.

Timo, I don't think that GR's hydrodynamical framework is bad, or
totally wrong. Thing are not black & white as many like to paint
them. I think Sam Lilley's exponential form and a less perfect tensor
(with non-zero off diagonal elements) will in the long run fill in
some answers, like Titus-Bode's law. But, in isolation GR as it
stands to data is an empty shell in need of a physical model.

What you call Fields are processes and are certasinly not
fundamental. The four forces are, in fact, just different aspects of
a single thing, call it force if you like. If one is truly looking
for unification it should be obvious that it should resolve to such.
If you cannot understand this from your version then it should be
clear that that version is only a weak correlation.

I have answered, you don't like the answer, forget I answered, but my
answer leads to more new physical aspects that your pathetic system

Processes? They carry momentum, angular momentum, energy, etc., much
like baseballs do. But somehow this is lost on you...

Electroweak unification does not absorb the electromagnetic field and
the weak field into one field or one force. Perhaps you need a little
better understanding of what unification means.

Fields carry energy and momentum. I have no idea what you mean by
"unique existence. Finally, volume is a property of *composite*
objects only, and the volume is determined by the nature of the
*interaction* between constituents, not by the size of the
constituents themselves. Think about this for a minute and I'm sure
you'll see what I mean.

But getting back to basics, I wonder why you chose these properties
and why you believe they are essential to "primitive elements". Did
you just pick them out of a hat?

It sure took a while for you to spout it out again here, didn't it?
And we seem to have some unresolved questions about your "primitive
elements".

That's what you say, but it seems to satisfy all the requirements
you've laid out, except for not being explained in terms of "primitive
elements" with the dubious properties you mention.

Want to take this question to a law discussion group?
You could also ask Ste here in the group about legal jargon.
Are you denying that various disciplines have jargon with specialized
meanings for terms that are also in use in common usage with different
meanings?

"More physical aspects". I wonder what on earth that means.
Does it generate quantitative predictions that distinguish your model
from prevailing models, in such a way that it can be tested
experimentally?

You must have missed this post:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_de_Broglie

"This research culminated in the de Broglie hypothesis stating that
any moving particle or object had an associated wave."

'Interpretation of quantum mechanics
by the double solution theory
Louis de BROGLIE'
http://www.ensmp.fr/aflb/AFLB-classiques/aflb124p001.pdf

"I called this relation, which determines the particle's motion in the
wave, "the guidance formula". It may easily be generalized to the case
of an external field acting on the particle."

"This result may be interpreted by noticing that, in the present
theory, the particle is defined as a very small region of the wave
where the amplitude is very large, and it therefore seems quite
natural that the internal motion rythm of the particle should always
be the same as that of the wave at the point where the particle is
located."

de Broglie's definition of wave-particle duality is of a physical wave
and a physical particle. The particle occupies a very small region of
the wave.

In AD, the external field is the aether. In a double slit experiment
the particle occupies a very small region of the wave and enters and
exits a single slit. The wave enters and exits the available slits.

For example, in the image on the right here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_choice_quantum_eraser#The_experiment
There are waves propagating both the red and blue paths towards D0.
One of the downgraded photon 'particles' is traveling either the red
or blue path towards D0. The lens causes the waves to create
interference which alters the direction the particle travels. One set
of downgraded photons is creating one of the interference patterns at
D0 and the other set of downgraded photons is creating the other.

It's all very easy to understand once you realize 'delayed-choice',
'quantum eraser', and the future determining the past is simply
misinterpreting what is occurring in nature.

In the image on the right here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_choice_quantum_eraser#The_experiment
When the downgraded photon pair are created, in order for there to be
conservation of momentum, the original photons momentum is maintained.
This means the downgraded photon pair have opposite angular momentums.
We will describe one of the photons as being the 'up' photon and the
other photon as being the 'down' photon. One of the downgraded photons
travels either the red or blue path towards D0 and the other photon
travels either the red or blue path towards the prism.

There are physical waves in the aether propagating both the red and
blue paths. The aether waves propagating towards D0 interact with the
lens and create interference prior to reaching D0. The aether waves
create interference which alters the direction the photon travels
prior to reaching D0. There are actually two interference patterns
being created at D0. One associated with the 'up' photons when they
arrive at D0 and the other interference pattern associated with the
'down' photons when they arrive at D0.

Both 'up' and 'down' photons are reflected by BSa and arrive at D3.
Since there is a single path towards D3 there is nothing for the wave
in the aether to interfere with and there is no interference pattern
and since it is not determined if it is an 'up' or 'down' photon being
detected at D3 there is no way to distinguish between the photons
arriving at D0 which interference pattern each photon belongs to. The
same for photons reflected by BSb and arrive at D4.

Photons which pass through BSa and are reflected by BSc and arrive at
D1 are either 'up' or 'down' photons but not both. If 'up' photons
arrive at D1 then 'down' photons arrive at D2. The opposite occurs for
photons which pass through BSb. Photons which pass through BSa and
pass through BSb and arrive at D1 are all either 'up' or 'down'
photons. If all 'up' photons arrive at D1 then all 'down' photons
arrive at D2. Since the physical waves in the aether traveling both
the red and blue paths are combined prior to D1 and D2 the aether
waves create interference which alters the direction the photon
travels. Since all 'up' photons arrive at one of the detectors and all
'down' photons arrive at the other an interference pattern is created
which reflects back to the interference both sets of photons are
creating at D0.

Figures 3 and 4 here:
http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/quant-ph/pdf/9903/9903047v1.pdf
Show the interference pattern of the 'up' and 'down' photons. If you
were to combine the two images and add the peaks together and add the
valleys together you would have the interference pattern of the
original photon. This is evidence the downgraded photon pair maintain
the original photons momentum and have opposite angular momentums.

Nothing is erased. There is no delayed choice. Physical waves in the
aether are traveling both the red and blue paths and when the paths
are combined the waves create interference which alters the direction
the photon 'particle' travels.

Experiments which are evidence of Aether Displacement:

Experiment #1:

Instead of having a single beam splitter BSc have two beam splitters
BSca and BScb. Have the photons reflected by mirror Ma interact with
BSca and have the photons reflected by mirror Mb interact with BScb.
Do not combine the red and blue paths. Have additional detectors D1a,
D2a, D1b, and D2b. Have the photons reflected by and propagate through
BSca be detected at D1a and D2a. Have the photons reflected by and
propagate through BScb be detected at D1b and D2b. If you compare the
photons detected at D1a and D1b with the photons detected at D0, the
corresponding photons detected at D0 will form an interference
pattern. If you compare the photons detected at D2a and D2b with the
photons detected at D0, the corresponding photons detected at D0 will
form an interference pattern. What is occurring is all 'up' photons
are being detected at one pair of detectors, for example D1a and D1b,
and all 'down' photons are being detected at the other pair of
detectors, for example D2a and D2b. Interference patterns do not even
need to be created in order to 'go back' and determine the
interference patterns created at D0.

Experiment #2:

Alter the experiment. When the downgraded photon pair are created,
have each photon interact with its own double slit apparatus. Have
detectors at one of the exits for each double slit apparatus. When a
photon is detected at one of the exits, in AD, the photon's aether
wave still exists and is propagating along the path exiting the other
slit. When a photon is not detected at one of the exits, the photon
'particle' along with its associated aether wave exits the other slit.
Combine the path the aether wave the detected photon is propagating
along with the path of the other photon and its associated aether
wave. An interference pattern will still be created. This shows the
aether wave of a detected photon still exists and is able to create
interference with the aether wave of another photon, altering the
direction the photon 'particle' travels.

Your inability to physically explain the following is evidence you
feign hypothesis:

- The future determining the past
- Virtual particles which exist out of nothing
- Conservation of momentum does not apply to a downgraded photon pair
- A C-60 molecule can enter, travel through, and exit multiple slits
simultaneously without requiring energy, releasing energy, or having
a change in momentum.
- Matter causes physical space to be 'unflat' but not move

The following are the most correct physical explanations to date:

- A C-60 molecule enters and exits a single slit while the associate
aether displacement wave enters and exits available slits
- The aether displaced by the matter which are the plates extends
past the other plate. The pressure exerted by the aether displaced
by the plates forces the plates together
- Conservation of momentum does apply to a downgraded photon pair.
When a photon is detected its wave collapses which determines its
spin. In order for the original photons momentum to be conserved,
the downgraded photon pair have opposite angular momentums.
- A C-60 molecule enters and exits a single slit while the associate
aether displacement wave enters and exits available slits
- Physical space is displaced by matter. Aether is displaced by
matter.

No it isn't... But those 'fields' aren't magical, there is a distinct
reason that there is both 'magnetic' and 'electric' 'fields' and it
ain't just because our equations tells me so!

What's lost on you is the fact that the underlying processes give rise

So you believe. The constitutes that compose the 'fields' carry the
momentum and have volume and spacing between themselves. And no,
volume need not be composed of composite objects.

Your lack of understanding and comprehension seems so vast as to make
it impossible to explain this to you with this forum. Simply put,
form follows from function(s).

Sound carries momentum but has no rest mass either...

It does not explain how those paths or lines become curved by matter
or energy. Even the rubber sheet analogy requires 'gravity' to dimple
the sheet and the elastic properties of the sheet to cause the
effect. Your so-called explanation was devoid of any type of such
explanations.

Like what? Sure specialized fields have specialized terms but, they
are specific terms to that field. Give an example of a usurped

Yes, as an example, elemental charge (e) can be described in terms of
Planck's constant (h), permitivitty (z), permeability (u) as,

e = (1/2pi)Sqrt(h[Sqrt(z/3u)]) = 1.6038E-19 -- (a linear harmonic
oscillator)

IF we use z & u of free space. However, if we use the actual z and u
of Earth's atmosphere where the dielectric constant of air is ~1.0006
and magnetic suceptability is ~1.004 then z & u are of the fourth root
Sqrt(sqrt(z/3u)) then (1.0006/1.004)^0.25 = 0.999152 thus 1.6038
reduces to ~1.602 and I cannot get closer with the uncertainties of k
& x of air... BUT! this predicts that the actual value of elemental
charge is related cto the bulk EM properties of the matter that
contains it. This explains both the existence of galvanic potentials
and predicts that, if you measured e in something like Xe gas its
value would be measured slightly different based upon the actual k & x
properties of the Xe. Moreover, if you use my version of e when
calculating the electron's magnetic moment you don't need the MMA
correction.

This is but one example of both a new relationship and unique
prediction of several I've found, like the Pioneer drag equation.
