[General] Schwinger Limit and Frame dragging

Hi Everyone,

 

Schwinger Limit

I have just had an insight which I thought that the group would find
interesting.  One of the questions Davis asked about the energy density of
spacetime was: "Is it subject to the Schwinger limit where results go from
linear to non-linear?" I looked up the Schwinger limit and it is the
electric field  which would start to generate electrons and positrons from
the vacuum.  This limit is given below.  The reason for writing again is
that it is a quite reasonable that any model which has either a radius or
diameter equal to the reduced Compton wavelength would be supported by the
electrons and positrons being created by an electric field at the Schwinger
limit.   

 

  V/m     Schwinger limit

     Reduced Compton wavelength for an electron

 

If a particle has a radius (or diameter) equal to its reduced Compton
wavelength, then it is reasonable that the particle/antiparticle pair could
be extracted from the virtual particles present in the spacetime field if
the electric field times the particle's radius (or diameter) is equal to the
energy of the particle divided by charge.  Here is the calculation.

 

 

I am not intending to have a discussion about the virtues of either single
loop or double loop, so I have acknowledged that my observation can be used
to support either model because the proponent can claim that either the
radius of diameter supports their model.  The important point is that the
Schwinger limit supports any model which is a fraction of the Compton
wavelength.

 

Frame Dragging 

 

David also asked a question about frame dragging.  I have recently worked
out another part of my model which implies that it should produce frame
dragging.  However, I have not quantified the magnitude of the effect yet.
The attached Word document is one short section of my revised chapter 10.  I
am not sure that you will be able to understand all the symbols because I
have not gone back and made sure that this section can be read independently
of the rest of the book.  However, for anyone interested in this concept,
here is the section that mentions frame dragging.

 

I am nearly finished with my revised draft of the book.  If anyone wants to
read the revised chapters rather than the chapters written 18 months ago, I
will be happy to send them to you.

 

John M.
