    I am happy for you, I really amSir2u

    Thanks! I'm writing a book about it. There are a lot of areas in physics involved. There is a series of big bangs. The end of each expansion being the sign for a new one to occur behind it. There is no beginning. Just partial ones. But where does this eternity come from? It had to be created. The laws of nature are just to stupid to create themselves.
  • Philosophy Question
    I would rather not insult youFooloso4

    I rather won't rather insult you either. It's very simple. People holding a moral won't argue about that moral with you. Which means the moral is beyond dispute for them.
  • Pascal's Wager
    Once again no scientific explanation being available for something does not mean that there is not a scientific explanation for it.Sir2u

    I say if the final explanation is given. I have a final exllanation of matter and space. But do you think I know where the eternal universe comes from? No.
  • Entanglement, Synchronicity and Consciousness
    Does any evidence hint that nonlocal hidden variables can participate in some sort of collective or spiritual consciousness?Enrique

    That's a very good question! There is no evidence, but I think it does.

    I think HV constitute space, and together with the particle they surround form a kind of basic unit of consciousness. Even the particle itself can be thought as made up of space. Though charges must have a place too.

    As I noted, the theory advocated here is not science.T Clark

    Not yet. And at least he tries.
  • Fine Tuning Argument
    There are only a few fine-tunings. These are the four coupling strengths of particles. If these are eternal and fixed, there is no explanation needed for their values. They form a logical ensemble to produce massive triplets at the ultra small scale (somewhere between and math]10^{-35}[/math] meter), massive hadrons on a larger scale, and structures evolving in the realm of infinity.
  • Entanglement, Synchronicity and Consciousness
    There is no science that says either of these have anything to do with consciousness.T Clark

    There is no science that it doesn't either. In fact, the very theory advocated here says it does.
  • Entanglement, Synchronicity and Consciousness
    There is no science that says there is any connection between quantum entanglement and relativistic behaviorT Clark

    Well, a fast moving object sees two entangled electron spins collapse one after another when measured simultaneously in the rest frame. But relativity doesn't cause the entanglement.
  • Philosophy Question
    No moral theory yields unequivocally or apodictically correct answers.Fooloso4

    All moral theories yield apodictically correct answers for the ones holding them.

    If you think that if an act having bad consequence is a bad act, then the act is apodictically bad.
  • Entanglement, Synchronicity and Consciousness
    Why do you think entanglement has a place in collective neuron currents? Entanglement has no causal power.
  • Entanglement, Synchronicity and Consciousness
    I'm not sure what relativity has to do with this.
  • Entanglement, Synchronicity and Consciousness
    has progress been made on identifying mechanisms of entanglement and contrasting them with the theoretical dynamics of an extremely fast-moving object within a relativistic reference frame?Enrique

    Non-local hidden variables offer an explanation for entanglement. They can create a correlation between, say, electron spins lightyears apart, or, say, the positions of a single particle within the bounds of a wavefunction.

    Philosophers use reasoned argument to try and figure out what's whatBartricks

    A typical empty-head answer of a typical empty head person living in a typical empty head world making argument sound important because he/she thinks philosophy is all about boring arguments. Though "thinks" is too much an appraisal for automated, vapid, and vacuous processes you involve yourself in. You're not doing philosophy. You are wallowing in unreachable dreams of omnipotence while in fact being omni-impotent. Dream on brother/sister...
  • Does God have free will?


    My arguments start from squawks. Your arguments are vacuous, containing no flesh. Only by assuming a holy triad squawk an argument makes sense. The argument is just an overvalued aid but I can see why it makes sense to you. It's all you value. You like having arguments. I prefer talking.

    But there is only one horizontal line in the diagram.universeness

    Exactly. That's the virtual electron. There is no virtual photon (though you could see the two real photons as one long lived virtual photon). That would be the case for two electrons.

    You could consider the electron and positron as one long lived virtual electron. Just connect the lines to form a closed line (which represents a vacuum bubble).

  • Not PARTICLES! QUANTA! Is that really all we can accurately state?


    Can't you see from the diagram no virtual photon is involved? Virtual particles are the horizontal lines in the diagram, representing two time ordered states. A wiggly line is a photon (like the two externals) and a straight line an electron. In the middle, betwe4the two vertices, there is an electron. The electron goes round in a circle in spacetime.
  • Not PARTICLES! QUANTA! Is that really all we can accurately state?


    I think I have figured it out already. There are no strings. Only closed geometric structures to contain the three basic charges. How does a string vibrate? It easier than they make you think universeness!
  • Not PARTICLES! QUANTA! Is that really all we can accurately state?


    But he writes:

    "For instance, when an electron interacts with a positron, it seems like a collision in the lab frame, but in reality it is an electromagnetic interaction (mediated by an exchange of a virtual photon) between the two particles in their COM frame, resulting into emission of two anti-parallel (real) photons. Find appended below a figure of the interaction shown with the help of a Feynman diagram."

    This is not happening.

    At the moment, I am most attracted to the posit that it's a multidimensional string vibration.
    If I was going to bet, I would bet on some future version of string theory as being the correct one for the fundamental quanta of the Universe.
    universeness

    The problem with string vibration is that no mechanism for the vibrating string is given. It just states the string vibrates.
  • Not PARTICLES! QUANTA! Is that really all we can accurately state?
    Look at the diagram the "professor" has shown. The electron and positron can be connected on the downside. This represents a virtual electron that is long-lived (a real electron and positron). Connect the two curly photon lines: a virtual photon that is long lived! Stimulated by the long lived virtual electron.
  • Not PARTICLES! QUANTA! Is that really all we can accurately state?


    The professor in your example, gave a wrong explanation for the Feynman diagram shown. I doubt the good man is a professor! There is no virtual photon involved. Only a virtual electron. The real electron and positron turn back to a virtual electron and a virtual photon gets real (two photons,)

    Look what he writes:

    but in reality it is an electromagnetic interaction (mediated by an exchange of a virtual photon

    Not true.
  • Not PARTICLES! QUANTA! Is that really all we can accurately state?
    So, what is a quantum? It's just a bunch, a bundle of particle trajectories and the wavefunction is the temporary crossection. If the wavefunction evolves in time, the particle hops between all these paths constantly, with a speed such that it seems smeared out. If the wavefunction is stationary (like in the ground state of hydrogen), the particle hops around without velocity.
  • Not PARTICLES! QUANTA! Is that really all we can accurately state?
    I think that to fully understand the details of your hypothesis, I would need a much higher grasp of the fundamentals of Quantum physics than I currently have.universeness

    The basics is easy. Particles do not behave like macroscopic objects but they are the same nonetheless. They hop between an infinity of possible paths. That's the different behavior. But they are just like a rock, concentrated pieces of mass, which are concentrated piece of three massless pieces pure kinetic energy, loaded with three kinds of charge, which give you massive particles like quarks, leptons, and Higgs particles. The three massless preons have to be different from pointlike structures to interact. QFT can assume them pointlike and still get interaction (coupling to the virtual field, as in the Feynman diagram) but it needs renormalisation to do so. The particles themselves are assigned unobservable and unphysical infinities to accomplish this. Give them a small geometrically induced extension and they can hit one another, keep the Planck length Lorenz invariant (same in each inertial frame), and won't need renormalization. Three hits in one!
