[General] Nature of Light and Particles - Request

Thu Apr 2 20:41:56 PDT 2015

My dear Chip,

There is absolutely nothing to apologise about. I should apologise as well, if it comes to that, for singling that thing out (when there is much more in the general discussion we have all been having). It is only through discussion, and seeing what others make of an exposition, that one can find the flaws in ones own presentations. Provided the questioner is serious and thoughtful, and of good will, it is pretty much, for me, the most valuable thing there is!

So thank you for getting the wrong end of the stick there. This particular one (together with Richard going the same way) - has been very valuable to me. The fault lies, if any, in our poor explanation of just what we are talking about - a fault I will try to rectify in future work.

Regards, John.

Hi John W and Martin

I would like to apologize for referring to your model form the 1997 paper as based on a “charge ribbon”.
That was clearly an erroneous oversimplification.  Will change the wording in my discussions and papers to try to avoid misrepresenting.

Your work has been a tremendous inspiration and I do not want to misrepresent it in any way.

Warmest Regards

Chip

Chip:

It is interesting, isn’t it? Here’s another one:

With a small correction factor Δ related to binding energy, we can say this:

[clip_image002]    = 1.60218  × 10-19 Coulombs

ε0 = 8.854187817 x 10-12

4π = 12.56637061

c3 = 26.94400241 x 1024

With no correction for binding energy we can calculate electron charge as:

√(ε0/4πc3) = √(8.854187817 × 10-12 / 338.5883200×1024)  =  √(2.6150304 × 10-38)  = 1.61710 × 10-19

This is within 1% of the measured value of 1.60218 × 10-19 Coulombs.

Regards
John D

Hi John D

Interesting stuff about Planck’s constant.

2.42631 × 10-12 m is the physical wavelength of the confined photon in my electron model.

John:

The paper looks interesting. If you wish I’ll get back to you on it properly at a later date. Meanwhile take a look at http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9610066 and at http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/19084/ by a medical doctor called Andrew Worsley. He talks about “harmonic quintessence”, and stuff like this:

Planck units are based on the properties of space. The Planck length is 1.616199×10−35 metres. It’s defined using the speed of light, Planck’s constant of action h, and the gravitational constant G. It can be written (using the reduced Planck’s constant) as ℓP=√(ћG/c³). We can replace √(ћG) with 4πn where n is a suitable value with appropriate dimensionality. The expression 4πn/√c³ still yields the Planck length. But if we now set n to the value 1 whilst retaining its dimensionality, then with a very small correction factor δ related to binding energy, the result is a different length. It is however familiar:

[clip_image002]= 2.42631 × 10-12 metres

John,

You are in. I look forward to receiving your contributions to the structure of photons and electrons.

Cheers,

Welcome, John M.!
I am glad to see that you are “on board” finally!
Please, feel free to read up the “archived” discussions and present your views using brief quotations to remind the readers the connection to the earlier discussions.

Hello,

I would like to join the Nature of Light and Particles - General Discussion Group.  I am John Macken and I presented a paper titled “Spacetime-based model of EM radiation” at the Nature of Light V conference in 2013.  I have also submitted an abstract to make another presentation at the 2015 conference.

I am very interested models of the internal structure of an electron and other particles.  I have a paper that will be published next month which deals with particles, fields and forces. A preprint is available at:
http://onlyspacetime.com/QM-Foundation.pdf

I believe that I can make significant contributions to your discussion group.

Sincerely,

John Macken
