[General] Role of observer, a deeper path to introspection

To All:

I've had a lightning strike and have been off the Inet for some time. 
Also It takes me some time to study so please excuse me for being a 
catch up.

However reading Albrechts last E-mails and going back to some of his 
explanations I can say that I fully agree that The Lorenzian explanation 
that elecro-magnetic interactions in nothing space cause material to 
shrink and clocks made out of that material to slow down makes sense 
because these materials are used to parameterize space in the first place.

Regarding the question of photons it seems obvious that it is best to 
think of light as waves in some experiments and as particles in others 
so there should be no conflict with his analysis of his thesis 
experiment. The question then is how to explain this wave particle  
duality?

Similarly, an electron can break up into a pair of Gamma wave packets. 
Their velocity always remain “c”, within materials (except nucleons), or 
in vacuum!! They are profoundly different from inertial particles.

Would this give support to Albrect's theory that pairs of particles 
traveling at "c' could exhibit the property of inertial mass?

Then I'm reading slowly the packet of papers Chandra sent.*What is a 
photon?**Rodney Loudon*/**University of Essex, Colchester, UK/

It cannot be emphasized too strongly that the spatial modes of the 
optical system, classical and quantum, include the combinations of all 
routes through the apparatus that are excited

by the light sources. In the wavepacket picture, a single photon excites 
this complete spatial distribution, however complicated, and what is 
measured by a detector is determined

both by its position within the complete system and by the time 
dependence of the excitation.


To me this says that there is a general principle at work which is that 
boundary conditions on EM radiation impose apparent particle properties. 
Could this be the principle behind Albrecht's theory? Do the forces that 
contain entities moving at "c" make things act like particles. This is 
also Cynthia Whitney's argument that boundary conditions are generally 
neglected. If light is a particle what determines the spatial size if 
cot material containment?


This brings me to my theory which in this context states that the human 
being is always a boundary condition on any experiment that produces 
data. I am proud to say that my paper "The rose-tintes Glasses Effect" 
is the lead article in the August issue of "the Journal of Consciousness 
Studies" the which for this discussion suggests that it is the 
interaction between EM radiation and matter that produce the point 
particle interaction (Chanda's dipole interactions) that make observers 
project particles as explanations into EM fields.


Lastly I want to confess that I do not understand quantum theory or 
Relativity because neither of them jives with my intuitive understanding 
of life, the universe, and my role in it as well as can be expressed by 
classic physics concepts. So I've presented some equations that simply 
add classic potential energy of the surrounding mass shell to the 
classic Lagrangian. And this simple addition gives me an mc^2 energy 
correction and a gravity/inertia clock rate effect that is compatible 
with all experiments to (v/c)4 order.  To the best of my knowledge this 
is the accuracy that has been verified by experiments . I believe space 
warp and time dilation beyond these limits are based upon circular 
reasoning. So I'm asking for references that tell me I'm wrong.
