[General] double photon cycle, subjective v objective realities

[Dr Grahame Blackwell]

Many thanks Chandra!

I love the thinking behind this 'Perpetual Scout' concept; as you say, the Perpetual Scout seems to have been led off-course by the (apparently more efficient) 'fetch-execute cycle' (to borrow a computing term).

I look forward to seeing the video (and the pretty lady!) when the internet is less cluttered, and to reading your epistemology article tomorrow morning.

Thanks again,
Grahame

  Hello Everybody: 

  This 12-min. talk, by a non-physicist pretty young lady, is worth for all of us to listen to periodically. This is a diversion out of directly discussing physics problem. But, I hope this diversion will be energizing for most of you. 

   

  Our successful survival driven all of us to evolve as slaves of "Motivated Reasoning". Understand the "Problem" as quickly as possible and then "Execute" the "Correct" solution. In contrast, scientists are supposed to be of "Perpetual Scout Mindset", always looking for higher and higher order connectivity between all natural phenomena by constantly looking for an-harmony within the current working theory to discover "Higher Order Conceptual Continuity".

   

  Unfortunately, our last 100 years of physics thinking has been demonstrating a higher degree of "Motivated Reasoning" over the "Perpetual Scout Mindset", looking for "Higher Order Conceptual Continuity" in all natural phenomena.

   

  We can always be energized and motivated to do so by thinking how our productive thinking could be connected to our "Collective Sustainable Evolution" (live for-ever through our progenies). After all, "live for-ever" is our deepest emotional desire. Adoption of thinking like "reverse-system engineers" helped our forefathers to assure the rise of the human species to become the "top dog" through persistent discovery of tools and technologies.

   

  So, dreaming of "Collective Sustainable Evolution" as "Reverse  System Engineers" may not be a serious waste of our time!

   

  Chandra.

  Hello Grahame, Vivian and Chip,

      I think we can all help each other by critically examining each other's particle models and pointing out possible errors. For example, I spotted 2 serious calculational/conceptual errors in Vivian's electron model which he hasn't acknowledged yet. The first is in his derivation of the lateral radius of a double-looping-photon electron model as it changes with electron speed, which he claims goes as 1/gamma (in your model the lateral radius of the double-looping photon's trajectory doesn't change with electron speed, while in my model the lateral radius of the circulating photon's trajectory decreases as 1/gamma^2 with the electron's speed). The second significant error is in his derivation of the de Broglie wavelength, using the relativistic energy-momentum equation for the electron and its circulating photon. Can you spot these two errors?  Vivian's article is attached below.
