</span></span></span><![endif]><b><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Spacetime vs. space only:</span></i></b></a><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> We both subscribe to the position that space as “something substantial” is the final frontier of physics. But, I
am not in tune with your “spacetime”. In my viewpoint, incorporating “running time -t” as a physical dimension of the universe is heading in the wrong direction to understand nature. Our anchor-able knowledge derives from human interpretations of experimentally
measurable parameters. Running time is <b><i>not</i></b> a directly measurable parameter of anything in this universe. So, we should not assign time as a
<b><i>modifiable</i></b> <b><i>and inherent</i></b> parameter of nature. Frequency is a measurable parameter. By being fooled by impressively sophisticated theories, many people are devoting serious efforts to travel in time! What physical parameter will an
engineer manipulate to travel in time? In contrast, our engineers have invented a variety of methods to impart velocity to material carriers to
<b><i>travel in space</i></b>. <span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><![endif]><b><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Complex Tension Field (CTF):</span></i></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> CTF is not a theoretical concept of mine. Almost every single successful theories, including Newton’s gravity, imply
space is not empty. So, I have renamed ether with a more physically descriptive name CTF, taking cue from epsilon and mu, which determining the velocity of light, whether in space with one H2 per cc, or 10<23> molecules per cc in some solids. Further, our
wave equation clearly tells that it is the tension field held by the medium whose linear excitation generates the propagating wave. The agent that perturbs the tension field is not creating the wave velocity. So, ether as CTF is the correct explanation. In
a paper to be presented at San Diego, I will explicitly discuss that<b><i> stationary CTF is the inertial reference frame
</i></b>for the entire universe. Results of Michelson-Morley and related experiments can be clearly understood with this model.
<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">CTF holds the 100% energy of the universe. No Dark Energy or Dark Matter is needed. Everything is its oscillations. Attractions-repulsions are secondary and tertiary potential gradients of different
“signs” of the CTF generated by virtue of localized self-looped oscillations and their assemblies.
<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]><b><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Particles as “doughnuts” of CTF:</span></i></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> I have also succeed in removing the wave-particle duality by suggesting particle as localized self-lopped oscillation
of the same CTF. I have also replaced de Broglie waves by a separate frequency of oscillation of particles as they gain kinetic energy. The “rest energy” of a particle is that nonlinear perturbation energy, which succeeds in generating a self-looped resonant
oscillation. So, there is really no rest mass or relativistic greater mass; yes there is a gain in kinetic energy (over and above the intrinsic rest energy) when one of these “doughnut” gains velocity. There is only inertia of motion of the “doughnuts”! I
do not need Higg’s Boson to provide masses to any stable particles; because they do not have masses.<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]><b><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Quantum superposition effect (remove wave-particle duality):</span></i></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> In my position paper (attached again), I proposed a clear two slit experiment with
Rb-atoms to remove the “only mystery of quantum mechanics” as a real physical superposition of multiple particles stimulating a detector molecule simultaneously.<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">My key point is that I understand that nobody can construct a “final theory”; and my proposals are quite modest. However, I take slow forward steps while staying anchored to modeling nature by conjecturing
the <b><i>interaction processes</i></b>, not just mathematical model alone. <o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I hope this helps to differentiate between my space model as CTF and your model as Spacetime. There is no running time as a physical parameter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="color:#444444">Hello Everyone,</span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="color:#444444"> </span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="color:#444444">I am currently in Iceland and starting tomorrow I will be in Greenland for 7 days. Most of that time I will definitely be out of email contact and the rest of the time it is questionable
if I will have any internet. I will be returning to the US just before the conference. I will arrive in San Diego about noon on Monday, Aug. 10. Therefore I will miss the Sunday night get-together.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="color:#444444"> </span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="color:#444444">I have found it very hard to write the concise answers required for the questionnaire. The reason is that I have much more detailed answers for each of the questions than most other people
in the group. For example, I have just finished what I believe is the final substantive draft of my book titled “The Universe is Only Spacetime”. It is now over 400 pages. The portion of the book addressed by the questions extends from chapter 4 to chapter
11. This is a total of 134 pages. Furthermore, I get into substantial quantitative detail and proofs which make short answers impossible.
</span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="color:#444444"> </span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="color:#444444">For example, with electrons I have explained and quantified two components of the electron model. This model does not derive either the electron’s Compton frequency or the fine structure
constant. However, if these two numbers are provided, I can derive the electron’s energy, inertia, gravitational curvature of spacetime, gravitational force with another fundamental particle, and electrostatic force with another fundamental particle. This
derivation comes from the properties of spacetime and the particle model. If I just proceed from first principles, I generate the electrostatic force if both particles had Planck charge rather than elementary charge e. In an earlier email, John W. considered
this to be a defect. He said that I had missed the correct value by more than a factor of 100 (missed by 1/</span><span style="font-family:"Cambria Math","serif";color:#444444">α</span><span style="color:#444444">). This is ironic because I was quite happy
with this answer. I was calculation the force assuming a coupling constant of 1, not the electron’s force with a mysterious coupling constant of alpha (</span><span style="font-family:"Cambria Math","serif";color:#444444">α</span><span style="color:#444444">).
</span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="color:#444444"> </span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="color:#444444">I believe that this is the first time that a model of a fundamental particle has been able to generate the gravitational force and the electrostatic force even assuming a coupling constant
of 1. If you know of any other model which has passed this test, I would be interested in hearing about it.
</span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="color:#444444"> </span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="color:#444444">I have not mentioned it before, but my model also generates the strong force. The model also produces asymptotic freedom when quarks are bound together into hadrons and explains why the
strong force increases as the separation distance is increased beyond the natural distance which produces asymptotic freedom. (all in the book.)</span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="color:#444444"> </span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="color:#444444">On another point, I believe that any model of particles that does not include waves which modulate the rate of time will never be able to generate either curved spacetime or the gravitational
force. It is my understanding that Chandra’s CTF model only involves the 3 spatial dimensions without involving time. If he introduces time into his model, then my model and his model would be very close.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="color:#444444"> </span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="color:#444444">Finally, I object to characterizing an electron as being a confined photon. I believe that a photon and an electron are both made of the same fundamental building block. Therefore photons
can be converted to electron/positron pairs and vice versa. They are closely related, but saying that an electron is an oscillating confined photon implies that a photon is the fundamental building block of the universe or at least particles. It also implies
that we will never be able to understand an electric field, a magnetic field or a charge in terms of a distortion of a more fundamental component.
</span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="color:#444444"> </span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="color:#444444">I explain all of these in terms of a distortion of energetic spacetime. I claim that an electric field, a magnetic field and even a gravitational field have both an oscillating component
and a non-oscillating component. I give equations for these in the book. I show that the oscillating component gives the correct energy density to the electric and magnetic field. I also propose that a gravitational field has an energy density. I combine
this with the energy of the spacetime field and show how the interaction generates a black hole when the energy density of the gravitational field at a particular frequency matches the energy density of spacetime at that frequency.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
