[General] Gravitational Wave - Vacuum Energy Paper Submitted

Hi John,
I lost you when you switched from red-blue shift to phase - please simplify the argument so that it follows your recent article since there is too much digging otherwise!
I see no problem unifying your theory with any of the other. It is very similar to the Fermi sea model and phonon model John W and I are at ease with coming from research on ultra-crystalline and ultra-low temperature solid. There each quasiparticle behave exactly like free ones but with a mass and sometimes also charge and spin that is a fraction of the aggregate of all upp to a coherence length that has analogy with your Planck scale. But it appeared in your paper as if matter could be derived directly from just your theory alone. You don't claim this?

Hi Joakim,

My answer to your comment will be broken into 3 sections.  The first section is an overview that talks
about the background that led to the paper that you read.  The section in dark blue answers one of your
questions.  The third section in dark red
gives a link to my ResearchGate page which has various papers available for
download.

The previously
attached article (Gravitational Waves Verify the Existence of Vacuum Energy)
builds on a series of articles and a 400 page book draft that I have been
working on for about 14 years.  In fact, I would say that this article
fills the critical gap in the theory.  I took an entirely different
approach than everyone else in the group.  Everyone else starts with what
I call the "top down" approach to physics.  For example, they
attempt to show that it is possible to explain an electron as a double loop
photon.  This starts at the top and attempts to reach something more basic.  For example, it might lead to a
rationalization about how an electron exhibits negative electric charge. However,
this is using one unknown to explain other unknowns.  What is a photon? What is physically
happening to spacetime to create a charged particle or an electric field? How
does an electron create the gravitational effect that we call curved spacetime?
 I have made people in this group very
mad when I have criticized the description of an electron as a confined
photon.  I point out that this reasoning
would allow me to say that a photon is a liberated electron.  Have we made any progress since they are both
unknowns?

The
approach that I have taken is to see if it is possible to develop a theory of
everything from the bottom up.  I start
by examining whether it is possible to develop a model of the universe using
only 1 component.  The standard model has
17 named particles, 17 overlapping fields and 25 dimensionless constants. This
works well on one level, but it is also chaos. 
Furthermore, it does not even include gravity. My single building block
is 4 dimensional spacetime.  Obviously,
in order to create the universe as we know it, I had to use the quantum field
theory version of the vacuum which is filled with zero-point energy.  However, this is just a name that is given to
an unknown energy density that is 10120 greater energy density than
the critical energy density of the observable universe. 

This
approach that uses only the properties of spacetime is very restrictive.  For example, the energy in the vacuum must be
allowed by the uncertainty principle. Other people can merely use the term “field”
without attempting to give a physical explanation.  However, if I am saying that everything must
be built out of 4 dimensional spacetime, then even fields must be explained
using this single building block.  

I am
now going to skip and answer one of your questions.  You ask whether anyone else has made the
proposal that gravitational waves (GWs) can be detected by monitoring the
polarization of laser beams. The answer is, to my knowledge, no one else has made this proposal.  This is an original idea that is
developed from the bottom up approach which requires that I explain electric
fields as a distortion of spacetime. 
This is covered in the other technical papers.  I developed a new constant of nature that I
call the “charge conversion constant” that has units of meters per
coulomb where type of distortion of spacetime has units of meter.  This was developed logically
and has then been tested.  It has passed
every test that I can devise. The most surprising result of this testing process
was that when I converted the impedance of free space Zo ≈ 377 Ω encountered
by electromagnetic radiation to a property of spacetime using the charge
conversion constant, the conversion yields the impedance of spacetime Zs
= c3/G.  This is an amazing
result because it says that electromagnetic radiation experiences the same
impedance as GWs.  This implies that
electromagnetic radiation is a quantized wave that propagates in the spacetime
field (vacuum energy), just like GWs.  As
I examined the physical implications of this, I concluded that a GW should turn
the spacetime field into an oscillating birefringent medium for light. I first
made the proposal in my 2013 EM  paper,
but I decided to include it again in this paper because I expect this paper to
get greater distribution. 
It is true that the LIGO interferometer is using horizontally polarized light, so it is making use of this oscillating birefringence.  However, LIGO is ignoring the polarization effect and just detecting the fringe shift of an interferometer.  There would be much less acoustic noise and a simplified construction if the experiment eliminated the difficult interferometer and just used the polarization. 

If
you are interested in more information, You can get articles and the book from
my ResearchGate page at:   https://www.researchgate.net/profile/John_Macken

I
suggest reading in the following order:

 Gravitational Waves Verify the Existence of
Vacuum Energy (previously attached) 

Spacetime
Based Foundation of Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity

Energetic
Spacetime: The New Aether

The
Universe Is Only Spacetime   (book)

I
skipped the article titled “Spacetime-Based Model of EM radiation” because most
of this article is in the book.  However,
the prediction about detecting GWs with polarization is at the end of this
article.

Hi John,

Interesting theory, covering a totally impressing energy density range and what's really vert significant: proposal for improvements in LIGO - using both the length shift and the laser red shift to improve resolution. Have you seen anyone else proposing this? 

However I am worried this may already be part of the detection system - the laser system being in resonance with the detection system and therefore red-and-blue-shifting in resonance with the graviational wave just due it being a resonant laser. Have you checked this in detail?

Can you elaborate som more on what the Planck motion resonances are/originate from, and how its resonances lead to virtual particles that actually fit  the standard model instead of the other way round as in the article - is this explained in your previous article?

Thanks/Joakim

Ämne: [General] Gravitational Wave - Vacuum Energy Paper Submitted

Hello All,  

Attached is the paper that I submitted for publication.  It has been considerably revised compared to the draft that I posted on Aug. 13.  Even though I have not participated much in the group discussion recently, the group influenced this paper.  I visualized that I was writing to convince the skeptical members of the group.  The Abstract is below.  

Abstract: Analysis of the gravitational wave (GW) designated GW150914 shows that this wave encountered spacetime as being a very stiff elastic medium. The source of this stiffness can be determined by analyzing wave amplitude, frequency, intensity and propagation speed.  The implication is that GW150914 encountered vacuum energy density (VE density) of about 6.7 x 1031 J/m3 at 250 Hz. This energy density is about 1040 times more than the critical energy density of the universe. While this finding is incompatible with general relativity, it is compatible with the VE density expected for zero-point energy at 250 Hz. Higher frequency GWs should encounter higher energy density which reaches 10112 J/m3 at Planck frequency.  VE is proposed to be the biggest component of the universe by a factor of 10120.  The conflict with general relativity can be resolved if VE does not create its own gravity. Instead VE is proposed to be the homogeneous, passive energy which is distorted (curved) by the wave properties of matter. The multiple fields of the standard model are proposed to be multiple resonances of a single VE spacetime field.
