[General] Physics in 100 years according to Wilczek

Richard et all
Yes, Wilczek takes a QCD approach in his SM treatment. While he appears myopic, his pragmatism is basically...take the next step to electroweak, strong force is different and gravity is a pain. And yet, he also takes the approach that SUSY is the strongest path to a GUT feeling.
I consider rest mass to be a special case of energy in a specific frame of reference yet influence by the mass-energy of the universe, a Machian view that Einstein abandoned. For mass, scale factors can be used for gravitational, inertia, and quantum mass as well as other types. 
So,  what does the next 100 years hold? Here is a wish list...with good intentions and specific to physics, but not as well thought out...not necessarily directly related to the photon, but related as influencing a massless particle traveling light-like velocity.
1. Model of the electron internals especially parametric, Model of the photon internals especially parametric
2. Back reaction on pilot field understood
3. Model of the transluminal quanta and states thereof - change the conditions while preserving the c of GR?

4. Model of proton and neutron - QCD
5. Quanta layer (below elementary particle layer) orwhat's smaller than a photon but within GR?
6. Negative vacuum engineering of the region. What is between zero vacuum and void. (define void)
7. CPT violations resolved especially asymmetric B-meson byproducts of e-e+
8.  Equations resolving particle-wave, perhaps a single equation
9. Gravity and QFT unified
10. SUSY predictions come true (Wilczek)
11. Mastering gravity physics like EM - field shielding, directional field control, push gravity (repulsion, dark energy)"Where is push gravity?" (see dark energy aka non-interactive with photons)
12. Spacetime control fundamentals - can be curved and rotated (Woodward)
13. Renormalization not necessary

14. Negative physics creates negative vacuum, mass, energy and time
15. Multiverse Medium - the spacetime between universes is explored and explained

16. Discovery of additional fundamental forces (Bushman's eight?)

17. Phat, spin-controlled, conditioned, charged photons
18. Spooky action-at-a-distance explained
19. Scalable event horizon using fluid dynamic modeling (non-quantized) 
20. Baryon asymmetry resolved

David and all,
    Thanks for this. One unification that Wilczek surprisingly left out is “Unification of matter and energy”, although he does talk about possible future "Unification of force and substance”—the boson and fermion world— and hopes that the SUSY hypothesis will provide this unification. This is where photon models of the electron are relevant. Perhaps Wilczek thinks that matter and energy have already been unified, or that this is covered by “Unification of wave and particle: Einstein and de Broglie”. But de Broglie admitted in his Ph.D. thesis that he didn’t know what the internal frequency in his electron means except that it is associated with the electron’s total energy. Quantum mechanics and QED also leave this question (the internal frequency nature of material particles) unanswered. I prefer to think that matter may be organized light-speed energy (or even transluminal energy.) Wilczek claims that matter is understood —"The quantum revolution gave this revelation: We’ve finally learned what matter is. The Core Theory completes, for practical purposes, the analysis of matter." Here Wilzcek may be fundamentally mistaken. Such hubris is unbecoming. Quoting a famous dramatist: “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”  Hamlet (1.5.167-8)

Many thanks, David M., for further enlightening us with Wilczek’s article. He is also my favorite physicist, especially, because he has been attempting to “stick his neck inside the elephant’s tummy”. I mean, he has been trying to visualize the invisible interaction processes as part of proper physics beyond measurable data modeling. Chandra.   From: General [mailto:general-bounces+chandra.roychoudhuri=uconn.edu at lists.natureoflightandparticles.org] On Behalf Of David Mathes

Subject: [General] Physics in 100 years according to Wilczek    All,  As I look at all these different models of the electron, we have all carefully grasped the elephant somewhere on the outside in an attempt to figure out what's on the inside. In our quest to determine the heart of the electron, we have compared present day notes in hopes of future results. So any description of the elephant called electron can be reduced to a series of experimental results that already exist and a limits can be placed to confine any model to reasonableness. Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest...oh, forget that. What I want to know...what does the future hold for quantum and quanta and is there at least a roadmap in physics.Specifically, what does the future hold in terms of photon models and photon-based electrons?  That is a question open to interpretation but Wilczek at least provides a framework with a few directions in his paper published in March 2015.Summarized in a brief article on PBS website, Wilczek came out with a rather bold paper on musings and wishes available on Arxiv. A quick article from PBS...fromHow Physics Will Change—and Change the World—in 100 Years — NOVA Next | PBS The full paper....http://arxiv.org/pdf/1503.07735.pdf The paper was a fun read in spite of the physics and mathematics involved. Here is one of my favorite quotes: "When Leon Cooper, on behalf of Brown University, asked me to contribute to their 250th anniversary by giving a talk about the next 250 years of physics, I of course accepted immediately. Then I thought about it. I soon realized that I’d taken on a task that is way beyond me, or (I suspect) anyone else.  So as a first step I renormalized 250 → 100." "Here I indulge in wide-ranging speculations on the shape of physics, and technology closely related to physics, over the next one hundred years. Themes include the many faces of unification, the reimagining of quantum theory, and new forms of engineering on small, intermediate, and large scales." My take is that given the rapid advances in quantum computing, and Kurzweil's pending Singularity, we should  consider the Wilczek paper a roadmap good for at least 20 years. We should also consider this paper somewhat as guidance to modeling photon and electron. Before looking forward, Wilczek summarizes the history of physics and mathematics where there has been unification. In the computer industry including Apple, HP, IBM and Microsoft, unification is also called integration. And in finance, mergers and acquisitions. But I digress. From history, Wilczek provide a summary of unification in specific fields. I'm sure there are others but these will do. "Names are attached not as credit but a shorthand for developments: – Unification of algebra and geometry (Descartes)
– Unification of celestial and terrestrial physics (Galileo, Newton) – Unification of mechanics and optics (Hamilton)
– Unification of electricity, magnetism, and optics (Maxwell)
– Unification of space and time (Einstein, Minkowski)
– Unification of wave and particle (Einstein, de Broglie) – Unification of reasoning and calculation (Boole, Turing)  end" So he continues on the theme of unification with the Standard Model and eventually leads us into Supersymmetry (SUSY).  "For reasons I’ve detailed in an Appendix, I think the most sensible procedure is to use “Standard Model” in its original sense, to mean the electroweak theory only. " That's interesting since most of the electron models don't even mention electroweak and prefer classical or semi-classical form of EM. However, there are couple models that have the guts to go GUT and encompass the four basic forces (or five if one treats the B field separate from E) as well as declare there is a bottom, and it is spacetime. As background, note that the Standard Model can typically be summarized using symmetry groups as  SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1) × SO(3,1) Keep in mind that Barrett using the appropriate extensions to Maxwell's equations (Maxwell 20)  confines his "Topological Electromagnistim" to EM only ... SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1)

 I have two noteworthy additions to the SM.  Electrons can be spin coupled, and there is the question of phat photons, So I've wondered if the proper investigative path might be N^2 hv == SU(4) X SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1) × SO(3,1) Any comment or correction on this view may be of help. And yes, I have seen the equations of the universe. From Sean CarrollThe World of Everyday Experience, In One Equation

 So as I look at the various models for this SPIE conference, I wonder what is the next unification? Could Unification of the photon and electron be next? Perhaps a topological description of inside the electron? Or could it be the unification of spacetime and waves that provides the key insight and breakthrough?  Could it be we need to rethink how we think about things, and perhaps relearn a new way on how we learn how to learn? 

And what is inside the photon?  Best Regards, David _______________________________________________
