<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black; background:yellow">The underlying nature of space and time lies central to our common project over these next few days.</span><span style="color:black">
</span><span style="color:#339933">[Next several decades! You are too ambitious. The conceptual problem is too complex, given our love for the structure of the prevailing mathematical logic.]</span><span style="color:#1F497D">
<font color="0000FF"><br>
</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:#1F497D"><font color="0000FF">Yes, But I am not using a conventional mathematics<font color="0000FF"> at all for the basis thinking - only trying to translate the underlying physical process
to t<font color="0000FF">ha</font>t mathematics for the purposes of c<font color="0000FF">ommunication</font>. You are right- maths can limit ones thinking as well as enhance it!
<font color="0000FF">Remember, I s<font color="0000FF">tudied and used such things as QED in my youth, have published widely in particle physics<font color="0000FF">, nanoelectronics and qua<font color="0000FF">n</font>tum transport</font> an<font color="0000FF">d

</font><br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:#1F497D"></span><span style="color:black">There is a problem though – all of us may think we know just what space and time are – but this is not the case. It is also easy and facile to polarize
the debate in terms of relativists versus non-relativists. <span style="background:yellow">
This is far too simple a representation of the complexity and beauty of the underlying nature of space and time.</span>
</span><span style="color:#339933">[Agreed.]</span><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span>
<span style="color:black">I am not going to come down on the side of one of the other – this is not to say I’m going to sit on the fence. I want to own that fence and understand what it is grounded in.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">There are many levels of complexity in the understanding of the nature of space and time – and a huge difference between the way it is perceived in “common knowledge” in standard courses
on relativity at university, and in deeper consideration such as in Lorentz relativity – where physical objects all deform in the same way due to motion through an absolute space. In my view, all of these have some basis and merit (even the “common knowledge”
one of simple Euclidean space), <span style="background:yellow">though none are the whole story. Deep thought is not enough – we need clear thought.</span></span><span style="color:#1F497D">
</span><span style="color:#339933">[I need to adopt the attitude of “conceptualizing reverse-engineers of nature and carry on the task through iterative enhancement of each level of basic postulates.]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:#339933"><font color="0000FF">There must be as few postulates as possible</font><br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">Let me try to take take you down the rabbit hole of some of the way I currently think about this. I’m afraid that I do not have the time (or the space!) to explain this fully in plain
english – and I am going to use words and concepts from my posted papers. This is just a random snapshot of some current thinking. I’m perfectly happy starting from either standpoint – provided that it is consistent with all of experiment.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">The first thing to note is that, experimentally, common reality IS 3D. You walk around a 3D table and build a 3D house. The second is that the measurement of these IS relative to your
motion – according to the transformations of relativity – whether “Lorentz” or “Einstein”. In the transformations, as usually understood, one mans space is another mans time.
<span style="background:yellow">Clocks do slow down in orbit.</span> </span><span style="color:#339933">[No. Clocks cannot slow down. “Clock readings” are data analysis using the prevailing beliefs by the Homo Sapiens. We need to learn to follow how the physical
parameter, frequency, is changing with motion and how we are interpreting that.]
<font color="0000FF"><br>
</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><font color="0000FF">Experimentally, If you take an atomic clock and move it then one finds that it has slowed down.
<font color="0000FF">Frequency and clock ticking transform oppositely, as was fi<font color="0000FF">rst noted by de Broglie. One needs to understand this and take it on board.</font></font><br>
</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:#339933"></span><span style="color:black">Relativistic
<span style="background:yellow">cosmic ray muons live thousands of times longer</span>
</span><span style="color:#339933">[The physical reason may have nothing to do with Relativity! The satiability of a slightly off-resonant self-lopped oscillation, like muon, of the Space-field (CTF), simply acquires longer “kinetic” stability; just like a
bicyclist acquires vertical stability!]</span><span style="color:black">than they would at rest.
<font color="0000FF"><br>
</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black"><font color="0000FF">Experimentally, the extra path length in particle life-times as observed at CERN agrees precisely with relativity - the faster they go, the longer they live. Any
other effect needs to vary precisely as does relativity. One needs to explain why!</font><br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">To go beyond these well-known things one must realize (at least) two things. Firstly, it is not space and time one needs to
<span style="background:yellow">understand but rather inverse space and inverse time.</span></span><span style="color:#1F497D">
</span><span style="color:#339933">[I will have to understand how these “inverse stuff” connects with really measurable physical parameters in nature. Remember, I am a conceptual and hands-on reverse-engineer!]
</span><span style="color:black"><br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><font color="0000FF">I would be delighted to try to explain this.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">These are not the same thing. Inverse time- frequency is the basis of that thing we call energy. Inverse space the basis that thing we call momentum. Inverse time is in the same direction
as time. Inverse space is in the opposite direction to space. Remember that – in conventional physics –
<span style="background:yellow">these are quantities related through an uncertainty principle.</span></span><span style="color:#339933"> [I n my view, nature does not obey “Uncertainty Principle”; we have imposed that behavior of nature based upon our current
limited state of understanding of nature.]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><font color="0000FF">I wholehearted agree. We have to get this uncertainty out of physics and into mysticism!</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:#339933"></span><span style="color:black">It is the energy of a particle (its mass) that is fixed – not its time. Likewise for momentum and position. Time is never when you think it is and
space never where you think it is if you think like a quantum mechanic.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">Our equations Maxwell –Shroedinger _Dirac all work with differentials.
<span style="background:yellow">These are inverse time and inverse space operators</span>.</span><span style="color:#1F497D">
</span><span style="color:#339933">[My understanding in this regard is limited. ]

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><font color="0000FF">Don't worry - so is everyones!</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:#339933"></span><span style="color:black">In them, time and space is presumed continuous and contiguous. In them space and time are not viewed as a “fixed grid”. Both space AND time are brought
in as dynamics. Look at them! Does this mean reality is calculus powered? <span style="background:yellow">
No, of course not, calculus is just the best tool us stupid apes have come up with to communicate this stuff with</span>.</span><span style="color:#1F497D">
</span><span style="color:#339933">[Agreed!] </span><span style="color:black">What is really going on is more like rotation than like integrals and differentials. More like projections than either.
<span style="background:yellow">Projections that encode “what does this look like to me?”</span>
</span><span style="color:#339933">[We can start only with only epistemic logics. But, we must aspire, desire, to access actual Cosmic Logics (ontic reality) through our approach of iterative enhancement of “foundational” postulates; without getting stuck in
“do-loops”! ]</span><span style="color:#1F497D"> <br>

density – see papers) from one space-time form to another (Field to current for example).
<span style="background:yellow">The time and space we perceive comes in as a dynamical process.</span>
</span><span style="color:#339933">[Agree.]</span><span style="color:black">When you feel that 3D table you are not feeling space. You are feeling electric field. The electric field has only three components (not four!). It is a 3D table, not a 4D table. You
are not feeling space, but rather space divided by time. D-space-by- d time. You are feeling a space/time (and time/space) area. You need to project it onto your own measures of space and time to make sense of it – but
<span style="background:yellow">the underlying reality is more complicated than most think.</span></span><span style="color:#1F497D">
</span><span style="color:#339933">[This is the key message of this conference series!]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><font color="0000FF">Good for you!</font><br>
<span style="color:#339933"></span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">The second thing you
<span style="background:yellow">need to understand is de Broglies “harmony of phases”.</span>
</span><span style="color:#339933">[Yes, I have replaced de Broglie wave by de Broglie frequency inherent in kinetic movement; which is different from the frequency of resonant self-looped oscillation that allows the particles “to be”! ]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><font color="0000FF">Al has translated de Broglies thesis. You all need to read this!</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:#339933"></span><span style="color:black">I have not put this into the papers in any deep way (though it is mentioned – and used) – as I did not have the space or the time – but maybe I should.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">The point here is that the transformations of relative motion is characterized by a single real number R – but both in things that scale with R and things which scale with 1/R. Things
and their inverse. One needs to understand the consequences of this fully. It is hard. Talk to me about it if you like. Everything reflecs and is symmetrical about the speed of that thing that everything is made of- the speed of light then.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><a name="_GoBack"></a><span style="color:black">The thing is that physical clocks made of electro-pivot-magnetic material BOTH speed up AND slow down. All the time. Every time. If you take (as I do) space to
be what rulers measure – your ruler may appear to shrink. Likewise if you take (as I do) that time is what clocks measure your clocks speed up and slow down all at once, depending whether you take “time” as the rate of change of phase (nconventional) or as
the completion of a circuit – a tick (conventional). These are not the same thing (except if the particle is stationary with respect to you – then R is 1 and 1/1=1).
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">If underlying space exists, and swirls through you – all your clocks and rulers would also swirl and, if our shape were initially spherical, would not show a deviation from apparent
sphericity. If this were coupled to energy and momentum, however, that would be a different matter. You would get buffeted – pushed around – feel the force.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">Sit on a chair. Feel the force.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">This all comes back to what I said at the beginning. One needs to
<span style="background:yellow">understand, not only space and time, but also inverse space and inverse time</span>.
</span><span style="color:#339933">[My knowledge is limited; as I have mentioned earlier.]
</span><span style="color:black">One needs to understand space, time, momentum and energy. One must leave
<span style="background:yellow">no room for uncertainty about this</span>!</span><span style="color:#1F497D">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hi John D</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Thank you. Good suggestion.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Black holes are a bit difficult to study. Mathematical creations which suggest the nature of “black holes” are principally guesses. But a black hole with spin would still have motion (transverse) at the horizon.
And I suspect that a black hole still has motion in the waves of energy within, but that the motion is principally confined to “spin” or rotation of the energy in the black hole.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">Now suppose that the experiment “<u>Measuring Propagation Speed of Coulomb Fields”</u> attached, suggests that something does move faster than light. Which is suggested also by John
Stuart Bell: He said<i>: “I would say that the cheapest resolution is something like going back to relativity as it was before Einstein, when people like Lorentz and Poincar´e thought that there was an aether – a preferred frame of reference – but that our
measuring instruments were distorted by motion in such a way that we could not detect motion through the aether. Now, in that way you can imagine that there is a preferred frame of reference, and in this preferred frame of reference things do go faster than
light.”,” Behind the apparent Lorentz invariance of the phenomena, there is a deeper level which is not Lorentz invariant, a pre-Einstein position of Lorentz and Poincar´e, Larmor and Fitzgerald, was perfectly coherent, and is not inconsistent with relativity
theory. The idea that there is an aether, and these Fitzgerald contractions and Larmor dilations occur, and that as a result the instruments do not detect motion through the aether – that is a perfectly coherent point of view.”</i></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">Now suppose that the
<i>energy in the Coulomb fields of fermions are the specific cause for gravity</i>. Suppose that this is the energy which causes the increased density of space to be apparent.
<b>This would help to explain why we can feel gravity from a “black hole” even though we cannot see light escaping from it.</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">But remember that we need to consider that the energy in space, which causes gravity, may have an effect on both the density term<i> p,
</i>and the transverse modulus term</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; color:black"><img id="_x0000_i1026" src="cid:image001.png@01D0D2BC.C79AA5F0" height="19" border="0" width="13"></span><span style="color:black">.

In other words, energy, in this form, in space, increases the apparent “density” of space, and, because it is also adding strain to space, it affects the modulus of space. If this is correct then the relationship between

<i>p, </i>which accompanies the change in this energy, would yield the correct slowing of light to produce the gravitational constant.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">Interestingly, if the velocity of the Coulomb field is 137 times the speed of light, a longitudinal instead of transverse disturbance of space, then probably the only effect we could
easily measure of this field is the effect of charge. These fast, longitudinal disturbances of space would be mostly “incompatible” with the waves in fermions, therefore they would only have a small fractional effect on the transverse waves in fermions, and
we may “feel” that effect as charge.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">So I have given some consideration to the black hole, but there is still much to do.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hi John D</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">When we look at the reaction of energy with space, and then understand that all forms of energy in space have momentum, and all forms of energy in space therefore display mass-like properties, we can see how a
“density” term for space can be derived from the energy content of space. These mass-like properties of energy, cause space to have more “inertia”, and more resulting momentum, meaning more force to act against, which is the meaning of the “density” term for
space in wave propagation. So when more energy is present, space is moving more, that motion possess momentum, space appears denser as a result. The tensors of space resist there being regions where there is “more space” or “less space”, and that is why space
appears so “stiff” in the propagation of EM radiation. When energy displaces space, tensors in space work to return space to its “normalized” condition.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Because of the items above, it is hard for me to see the concept of more space in a region making space appear more “dense”. Still need to think about how that could happen.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:black" lang="EN-GB">I empathize. I’d even take things a bit further and say that at some fundamental level it’s the same thing as energy. A gravitational field is a place where space
is inhomogeneous, like there’s a pressure-gradient in space. People talk about the spatial energy-density, but you could just as well talk about inserting space into space. Then we start talking about the density of space itself. Not that it has a density
in the conventional sense, but I hope you know what I mean anyway. Strange stuff is space. Space waves, and everything is made of it. </span><span style="color:black"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black" lang="EN-GB"> </span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hi John D</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">There is one view which seems to be very important for understanding space.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Below you remarked, “…</span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:black">
</span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:black" lang="EN-GB">that the Earth is surrounded by spacetime. It isn’t, it’s surrounded by space.”</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:black" lang="EN-GB"> </span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">What is important, it seems, is to fully realize, that we are not just surrounded by space, our existence is embedded in space. Every bit of energy in the universe, including the energy in the fermionic particles
of mass of which we and the earth are made, is completely contained and managed by the properties of space. Space is the container for all, it is the fabric which allows all energy to exist in the manner we experience. We are in, and of, space.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I know this is your understanding as well, but the implications are more than normally “meet the eye”.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">And regarding some considerations about gravity…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We have already stated that all energy in space displays mass-like properties. The mass-energy equivalence holds, due to the properties of space. And as Richard has said, in space momentum creates mass, just
as moving mass creates momentum. So if energy in space has mass-like effects, the energy in space increases the “density” term of space
<i>p</i>. as in the transverse wave velocity formula:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; color:black"><img id="_x0000_i1029" src="cid:image004.png@01D0D2BC.C79AA5F0" height="57" border="0" width="56"></span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The transverse modulus</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; color:black"><img id="_x0000_i1030" src="cid:image001.png@01D0D2BC.C79AA5F0" height="19" border="0" width="13"></span><span style="color:black">,
of space also is affected by this displacement, but to a lesser extent it seems. The speed of light is then slowed in regions of space with a higher inherent energy density. The fields of particles extend off into space, and contain energy, so that space
in the vicinity of massive objects naturally has a higher energy density than the more “empty” regions.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">And then we would have gravity as a result.</span></p>

<i>Space waves</i>. Yes, you could say there’s some motion faster than c, in that the wave propagates thataway → whilst waving up and down thisaway ↑↓, but all we’re talking about is factor of √2, like you said. It’s nothing to get excited about. And note
that electrons can absorb any energy you like in Compton scattering. It’s only in atoms where they’re in orbitals that they behave like they’re changing gear. </span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:black" lang="EN-GB"> </span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:black" lang="EN-GB">Yes, we “measure time” using frequency, which boils down to the motion of waves. We define the second as the time it takes for 9192631770 microwaves to pass us by.
Yes, I agree that we’re made of the same stuff as light. And yes, I agree that this shows us what causes relativity. See
<i>The Other Meaning of Special Relativity</i> by Robert Close. I’ve attached it. We always measure the speed of light waves to be the same because we’re made of those waves. Ah, you’re already referring to it. I am preaching to the converted! I also agree
that everything is not relative, because the CMB rest frame is the reference of the universe. Whilst your motion relative to the universe is still relative, it’s absolute too, because the universe is as absolute as it gets. That’s where the buck stops. Noted
re Bell, I presume you’ve read Travis Norsen’s paper <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/0707.0401" target="_blank">
<span style="color:black">http://arxiv.org/abs/0707.0401</span></a>. Ah yes, the “cheapest” is mentioned there. And ah, I’ve just seen your next email, where you attach Robert Close’s paper! </span><span style="color:black"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:black" lang="EN-GB">And yes, we are talking about space, not spacetime. Einstein never confused the two, and nor should anybody else. We move through space, there is no motion through
spacetime, the map is not the territory. It’s 3D space wherein the Lorentz factor comes straight out of Pythagoras’ theorem because of the wave nature of matter. And in a gravitational field, this space is inhomogeneous. The properties of space vary, and so
does the speed of energy. Yes, spacetime is a mathematical abstraction. It’s a cargo-cult myth that the Earth is surrounded by spacetime. It isn’t, it’s surrounded by space. Light moves through this space, and we model how it moves using the concept of curved
spacetime. But space is not curved in a gravitational field. It’s curved in an electromagnetic field. As for time, that doesn’t move at all. Waves move. And when we appreciate that, we hopefully appreciate that the beliefs we’re discarding are beliefs we learned
from people who appealed to Einstein’s authority whilst flatly contradicting him. </span><span style="color:black"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Dear John D</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Wish you were joining us in San Diego. Perhaps you and I can find a chance to sit and talk sometime soon. I have a friend and business associate who owns Dartly Farms about an hour north of London, near Cirenchester.
Sometimes we have board meetings for our LED lighting business at his farm. Maybe next trip I can make arrangements to meet with you.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">As I think about space and time, I come to many of the same conclusions that you express.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">However I am still looking at the basic motion of space, the displacement which the waves of energy cause. And I find that displacement contains some motion which is faster than c, in some circumstances it is
simply the square root of 2 c. This displacement velocity, seems to be required, for the properties of space to exhibit the properties we can detect, in the motion, and momentum, we measure in light and particles, and to provide for light to travel at a forward
velocity of c. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The oscillations of fermionic particles are caused by the “forward” speed of these waves and their confinement, creating a frequency. Therefore these fermionic particles are quantized and resonant. It is natural
therefore that they can only emit or absorb energy which contains certain frequencies.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We measure time by using various methods. Using frequency to measure time is the most prominent method. Whether that frequency is the motion of a mechanical pendulum, the resonance of a crystal, or the oscillation
of Cesium 133 atoms. But in all of cases, frequency is just the interval imposed by speed and distance.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">But the simple fact that material rulers and clocks behave in exactly the same way, as rulers and clocks based on the speed of light, illustrates again, that we are made of the same stuff that light is made of.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Now, if we are made of the same stuff that light is made of, that brings us to some further understanding. This shows us what
<i>causes</i> relativity. This is the simplest explanation, and a very robust and well supported premise, based on the clear evidence. It simply means that we will see relativistic effects due to the motion of material objects in space.
<i>Here it is good to refer to the “sonar” relativity example from Robert Close.</i> But this relativistic mechanism, clearly indicated by many simple observations, means that there is a reference rest frame in space, and
<i>everything</i> is NOT relative. In other words, it means that the reference rest frame of space is just that, the frame from which we can more easily understand and calculate the behavior of light and particles. It is the frame from which we can understand
all of the details with the easiest math and clarity. <i>This is the model of space that John Stuart Bell said was the cheapest solution to the problems</i>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Now, this space we have just described, is NOT spacetime. It is 3D Euclidian space. And time is simply the result of the speed of light in that 3D space. In this space, material objects, moving relativistically,
will show clear Pythagorean transformation, due to the speed of the stuff of which the material objects are comprised. Time for relativistic material objects will also be transformed, specifically due to the speed of light. But the relationship between the
motion of energy and time remains unchanged, and the relationship between light and space remains unchanged, with energy always traveling at the velocity dictated by the properties of 3D space.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">So, due to the evidence, I now feel that spacetime is a mathematically contrived conjecture, which does not reflect the nature of space. And that math can only be applied carefully and correctly to the motion of
material bodies in space. Simply because this motion of material bodies in space is the only place where the transformations occur in nature. Once again, I believe that some interesting math which reflects part of the behavior of the motion of material objects
in space, but which does not reflect the basic nature of space, has been extended and applied in ways that are incorrect. So I feel there is no media “spacetime”, but that space itself is simple 3D Euclidian space, and time, in the reference frame of space,
can and must only move in one direction.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Why state that we are made of the same stuff as light, and then completely ignore the simple relativistic implications?
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I know it is hard to discard beliefs we have held for so long, and bought into so completely. This was a very hard transition for me, but it seems we must be willing to accept the evidence, and change our views
when required, in order to make any real progress.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1F497D">The time reversal transformation(T) is a basic concept in physics (you should have known already) stating a symmetry known from the football field.</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1F497D">If you score a goal, and I film it such that you are kicking from the left into the goal (on the right), and then look at it backwards , you will see the goal to the right and you to the left,
nothing changes in the position vectors from me to you or anything at all.</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1F497D">The velocity vector of the ball changes sign, the ball moves from left to right in the original but played backwards it goes from right to left, out of the goal onto your foot!</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1F497D">DRAW THE ARROWS (position and velocity) and see they are of a different nature.</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1F497D">And then I can film in the mirror, and you do a curved ball spinning to the left, etceterea……and then the so-called PARITY transformation (P) becomes clear.</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1F497D"> </span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1F497D">At primary school I was taught that one cannot add 3 cows to 4 horses to make 7 corses or howses or whatever. But one can fix this in a different way, I learned later.</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1F497D">The (x,y) plane can be summarized by a single complex number z=x+iy. It are still two things, but condensed to one. This is how our (3+1)D space is built up: by 4 copies that can be disentangled
by IMAGINING (not doing) the T and P transformation. Film cameras and mirrors help to illustrate this in all its glory, but as you see, just writing about it should get you the same picture! Imagination is always just what is required to get an idea.</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1F497D">So I am just trying to teach you something, a gem of an insight that is rare to too many people. Note that I do, contrary to many, only teach when I know what I am talking about. Furthermore
this is not about my work, but about general physics. It is your loss if you do not want to take it in, but I will regret it nonetheless.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I think you will find that an open helix, with appropriate confinement forces (boundary conditions) also forms a stable wave function as it travels through space. And when viewing this in the moving frame of the
particle, it looks like it closes on itself, but in space, viewed from an external frame, it does not. So we actually lose some information about the energy reaction with space, when viewing moving particles from their own inertial frame. If this is true then
in the eternal reference frame, the wave is not biting its tail. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">But much of this goes back to which version of relativity do we use when constructing the wave functions. If our relativistic foundation is wrong, it leads us to weirdness, and misinterpretation.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The foundation of QM, and misinterpretation of data, and the foundation of relativity, have lead us to where we are today. If we can identify the errors in the foundations, and correct them, it seems we can get
past the stagnation, and much of the perceived weirdness in our observations.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1F497D">You may object whatever you like.</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1F497D">Physics is another thing, there we have to deal with things more precisely. Quantum mechanics, wave mechanics in general, can be described in very essence by some differential equation (a wave
equation) and (very important) boundary conditions. Boundaries in the very simple meaning of “a wall”.</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1F497D"> </span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1F497D">In any case, and I mean ANY case, what you get is stationary solutions of, for example, standing waves in a guitar string, quantum particles in a box, electron in the atom light in a laser cavity.
So a STABLE SOLUTION of your putative charged photon inside a model particle must also have such a stationary state when viewed in its proper frame and it bites its own tail. Hopefully, if your model particle is a like an electron, it has no, or few excited
states (perhaps just muon and tauon) and the ground state will be a SINGLE MODE DIFFRACTED STATIONARY WAVE, not because I like it or say it, but because it is. Hence it has a size related to the wavelength (depending on dimensionality of the problem, but for
example 1D we all know it is ½ wavelength) and it is diffracted out into ALL available dimensions, and all dimensions will take part in defining what is now the fundamental mode of the system.</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1F497D">So, in 3D we have more walls that define more “quantum numbers”: in (x, y, z) or better (r, theta, phi). Together they make the resonant cavity, now depending on binding interaction and topology.
It may be toroidal in some sense, but is likely spherical on the whole. You may scribe in paths of flow….and closed they are.</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1F497D"> </span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1F497D">In short: non-closing paths are non-stable and interfere destructively.</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1F497D">I hope this helps.</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hi Martin,</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> I object to a particle's circulating energy being characterized as “biting its own tail”. In a moving double-looping electron model the axis of the electron’s circulating energy can become helical and does not
remain circular like a donut. The electron's energy then moves snakelike through space with its “head” always in front of its “tail”, without any biting of the tail. The electron’s energy only appears to be biting its tail in a resting electron, but even
here the “head” would have to pass beside and not through its “tail" after one circumference. In a double-looping tail-biting resting electron model, if the moving energy "bites its tail", at the end of the first cycle the energy’s wave motion would cancel
itself out because the energy of the head would meet its extended energy 180 degrees out of phase (assuming the electron's energy is spread out). One way for a resting electron’s circulating energy to not cancel out the first time around in a double-looping
electron model is if the energy even in the resting electron moves helically in a closed double-looping helix. At the end of the first round the energy is on one side of its closed mathematical circular axis and at the end of the second round its energy is
on the other side of its mathematical circular axis, where the extended energy is again in phase with itself. That is, the electron’s energy even in a resting electron is moving helically with a non-zero helical radius along a mathematical toroidal surface
around a mathematical double-looped helical axis of double-loop length h/mc, the Compton wavelength. (This is not the toroidal topology of the 1997 article.) The circulation frequency of a stationary electron’s energy in a double-looped electron model is
therefore the zitterbewegung frequency Fzitt=2mc^2/h. And in a moving electron the electron’s energy is vibrating at an increased frequency (because the electron’s energy is increased) with a correspondingly decreased wavelength, while moving in a helix-on-a-helix
motion (instead of a helix on a circle for a resting electron.)</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Perhaps just for the record, I dtrongly agree with john w on the domensionality of space, or space time. In fact it is only possible to describe our normal kinetics and dynamics of curve balls using 4x(3+1) dimensions,
which we perceive to be projected on 3 space and 1 time dimension. Ever heard of the difference between axial and polar vectors? That is parity, your first factor of 2! Another factor of 2 comes from the time reversal: velocoty vector or position vector of
a ball change differently when the shot on goal is played backwards...</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Regarding emitter and absorber, Chip, the circulating EM energy in a particle is biting its own tail and seems to be its own emitter and absorber with sideways boundary conditions (radial), it is contained in some
way and that is why it is what we perceive to be as a particle.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">For light it is exactly the same: when the emitter and absorber are included, EM radiation is contained and also perceived as a particle, we call it a photon. Without emitter and absorber there is just continuous
flow of unquantized energy....</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">It may be me who is missing something, but either way our discussions will wind up sharpening our thoughts and may help.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I too have the feeling that there are 4 “aspects” to space, so in one sense you could view them as 4 different 3D sets, but I find it more intuitive to cast everything back to the 3D space we experience. And try
to keep the calculations, as much as possible, related to our perceived 3D space.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The problem I have with the “photon-exchange” concept is based on several issues. I have voiced a few of those concerns already. But there are other reasons as well.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Opinion follows:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">One is simply the fact that we are saying that photons, and fermionic particles are made of the same stuff. Particles have an existence of their own. They exist in space, and they can travel through space, in
fact the stuff in fermionic particles is traveling through space at principally the same speed as a photon moves, even though the particle itself is not generally moving near as fast. They are made of the same stuff, and that stuff can exist independently
in space. That stuff does not require an emitter and an absorber in order to exist. That stuff in particles is clearly not occupying the “same point in spacetime” for the duration of its existence. So I see no need for the photon to have to identify the absorber
at emission. Space is a completely satisfactory destination for a photon at emission, just as space is a completely valid container and manager of the energy in fermionic particles. Whether the photon travels for microseconds or billions of years, it exists,
independently, in space until it is absorbed, just as the particles can exist independently.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Dear John W</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Thank you for explaining so carefully. I must apologize for using an extreme and somewhat jovial example previously.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Please do not misunderstand. I understand the math, and SR. I understand what a single point in spacetime is envisioned to be. I also understand what you have been suggesting. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">For many years I believed that 4 space was principally valid. However I do not feel that is the case anymore. This is the point I have been trying to make. There is a completely logical and rigorous relativity
which is based on observable principals which is, in my mind, much more plausible than 4 space, than Minkowski spacetime.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">In that form of relativity, there is a fixed rest frame in space, light is constrained in velocity, and time is the result of the velocity of light. Light is not “relativistic” in this form of relativity. And no
relativistic transformations need be applied to light, in fact assuming that time slows for light, in its frame, because of its velocity, is incorrect.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I may be wrong in my view, but to me, it seems that I was where you are, regarding light, time, and space, and have now moved further, and understood more. I can now clearly see a more rigorous basis and cause
for relativity than I could with any 4 space version of relativity. I can also then see a set of explanations for experimental observations, which do not involve the requirement for the eventual absorber to be identified before emission.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">So John, you see my trouble with this, is not because I do not get it, but rather because I do, and for me it doesn’t work. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I agree that … “The problem with all of us is that once we get an idea into our heads it can be very hard to shake it off.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Perhaps one of us will have an epiphany, and we will come to see these issues the same way, but meanwhile it is good to challenge each other and discuss.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">The problem with all of us is that once we get an idea into our heads it can be very hard to shake it off. It is not so that a whole single photon event all takes place at the same
point in space-time. this is not what I am saying. This is a gross over simplification. It may be what you think I am saying (and others may agree!) - but that is a different thing. You need to think more clearly and more completely! Let me try again – and
then copy a previous post again below where I tried to explain this before. You will then get the same thing twice – but explained differently.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">What is so is that, what rest-massless means is that one can find a frame in which the rest-massless object has, as close as you like, a zero mass energy. This is the (as near as you
like) co-moving frame of light. Mathematically c^2p^2 – m^2c^4 = 0.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">In this frame, all points on the path (of the same phase) are, by the mathematics of SR, as close as you like to the same point in space-time, for emitter and absorber, as space is
contracted, by SR, “as much as you like”. You seem to think this somehow implies that I am am saying that the whole path is at the same space time point and you do not like this. Me neither! I am not saying this! Read it again!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">The whole path is NOT at the same point. Each different phase is at a different place, a different time and a different space-time, for every frame. Read very carefully what I am saying:
a point in phase defines a point in space-time, not the whole path. The phase is the common thing. This is the thing invariant over all frames. This is the heart of the "harmony of phases". This is the proper root of quantum mechanics. This is what the "mathematics
of reality" has to parallel. This is very, very hard to get! I am not (clearly) doing very well at explaining it either.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">Remember – the Lorentz contraction is only maths. It is the maths defining our concept of space-time and what it is. You need to think in context. Saying something is at the same point
in space-time is not the same thing as saying it is at the same point in space or time. I know this is hard, but it is what it is. Saying that a particular phase is, in a particular imaginary frame, at the same space-time point for emitter and observer is
just words expressing maths (poorly).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">“What you like” in the above has little or no relation to what actually happens. Whatever you do or do not like does not affect the outcome a bit.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">What the maths tells you is that, for any particular phase point in a lightspeed phase wave there exists a frame where emitter and absorber – for that lightspeed wave, are at the same
point in space-time for both emitter and absorber. This does not mean emitter and absorber are at the same point in space, or that they are at the same time. On the contrary, this is exactly what they are not.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">In each and every frame, emitter, absorber, centre of mass and (near) lightspeed, different phases are at different points in space-time. This phase profile, which may be (and usually
is!) many thousands of cycles long is invariant in each frame. If it is a thousand cycles in one frame, it is a thousand cycles in every frame. Forget the lightspeed frame. No one and no thing is travelling co-moving with the photon. It is on its own in its
own space. This is part of the point!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">Consider the three physical frames – emitter, absorber and centre of mass. Imagine emitter stationary and absorber moving towards it (this is the reverse of absorber (observer) stationary
as is usual – but this helps make the point. Emitter emits a red photon, absorber absorbs the same photon as blue. Emitter sends out a phase profile at one frequency, absorber sees the same profile coming in, the same number of cycles, but at a different (higher)
frequency. In the centre of mass frame the same photon appears at an intermediate frequency and appears green. These are all the same photon. One could argue that “properly” this particular photon is green as this is its frame and characterises its energy.
Take R=1 for this frame. Think though – for the absorber the energy does NOT come in all at once. Wallop! On the contrary, it comes in with the phase profile which is relatively (by the factor R in by first paper) high frequency with respect to its own clock
than it was (factor 1/R) lower for the emitter. This is relativity, look at the derivation in my photon paper! There is no “event at the same point in space or time” for either emitter absorber or centre of mass. The phase profile is the same for each – but
longer or shorter with respect to the particles internal ruler and clock. Each individual particle has only one ruler and clock. Itself. The energy comes in, resonantly, over a large number of cycles. The energy is emitted, resonantly over the same number
of cycles. The resonance, the locality of the photon, is ensured by the fact that, for the photon, any point in phase is at the same space-time (not space or time) point for both emitter and absorber. This is mere maths. Space-time is mere maths. Physics is
the physical properties of the particles, and underlying this the space and time defined for each by their rulers and clocks. And locality defined by the properties of the rulers and clocks. The rulers and clocks are infinetely stretchy though. They have toi
be to deal with teh linearity of energy, the linearity of field and the effects that are observed in experiment. To understand this you need to stretch your mind.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">Ok here is what I wrote in a previous email trying to explain this …</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">Coming back to the point. You are right that things can be understood provided they are properly explained. I will try ...<br>
<br>
You are confusing yourself, I think, in your use of language. The problem is largely the word "point" and the meaning which you assign to it. This is a common problem. It is difficult to talk about concepts one does not have a word for. Your concept of "point"
seems to me the common one of a "place with zero extent". This is the definition of a "mathematical point" you will get if you look at Wikipedia.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
This is a pretty useless concept. It is a place which is a close as you like to not there at all. A place is better represented by a co-ordinate - represented by a vector with respect to some useful origin. Let us call this a "place" to distinguish it. Likewise
a space-time point is anything but a point. It extends over a lightcone, backwards to the beginning of time (and space) and forwards to its end. Not very point-like then (and point-like is yet another concept again). It is, indeed, impossible to conceive of
a wave at a single place. That is just silly. Do not even try!<br>
<br>
Now consider a single photon event. The maths is such that all points along an element of the photon path occur at the same co-ordinate in space time for one particular frame (and not for any other - and this is crucial). That "event" (and we could better use
the word "event" instead of "point" - though a third word would be better (Bell uses be-able but I do not like this - transaction is also possible but has extra connotations). Lets just invent a word ... no I'll use the word con-junction. Ok consider a con-junction
between two distinct spatial points at two distinct times as measured in two distinct frames, through a third object (an exchange photon). This travels FROM one TO the other. This is CAUSALITY. The emitter loses and the absorber gains energy. This is the arrow
of time. Forget thermodynamics. It is that simple.<br>
<br>
Consider what the absorber "sees". It sees a photon coming in form its past. It has been acted upon by an object. That object usually had higher energy (this is thermodynamics). This object is ALWAYS in its past.<br>
<br>
Now think about the exchange photon itself. It has a certain number of cycles. For the sake of argument let us imagine it is a right circularly polarised photon, carrying one unit of angular momentum and that it looks like a flying corkscrew (Cheers Martin)
of electromagnetic field precisely a thousand "turns" long (this is a pretty short photon). In the emitter frame it is a thousand turns long. In the absorber frame it is a thousand turns long. In the centre of mass frame it is a thousand turns long. In any
inertial frame it is a thousand turns long. In no frame is it anything other than a thousand turns long. There is no frame where it is at a single place. In all frames it is a thousand turn wave (ok - I know an abrupt transition is unphysical at the ends,
but you get what I mean). Now, if one travels at the front of it, at the speed of light, the phase front remains at a fixed phase. This is not the same as saying that it is a "point". Your friend, travelling one wavelength behind, is indeed at a slightly different
spatial and temporal position. How different this is depends on which frame you view it from. The thing is you, at this speed, "see" the emitter just behind you- a moment ago, and the absorber just ahead. So does your friend. You have a thousand friends. They
all see this. The time as measured for emission depends on the frequency in that frame. A thousand counts. Likewise for absorption (still a thousand but this may be red or blueshifted, so time will be different in general).<br>
<br>
Now let us look from the point of view of the emitter. Does it "see" the future? No - it sees nothing. It has shucked off some energy. It is gone. In the next instant that energy is outside its lightcone. It is no longer part of its observable universe. Lets
imagine it is an intelligent emitter (which can do maths). It may calculate that there is a theoretical possibility of an advanced wave solution that is tachyonic (travelling faster than light) arising from the absorber. Fine. In its frame this constitutes
a negative energy solution travelling backwards in time. This is exactly the same solution as the positive energy solution travelling forwards in time. It has to be. It is the same photon. In both cases the event is causal in terms of the flow of time for
each observer.<br>
<br>
In fact the process is causal whichever frame one looks from. The cause arises from the object with the initial energy, the effect is that of the reception of that energy packet. All observers agree where the energy came from and where it went to. That is all
there is to an inter-action.<br>
<br>
There is nothing spooky. No action at a distance. It is just not so that there is just the one location. For each even there are (at least) three: emitter, absorber and exchange. There are as many locations as there are in the combinatoric interactions of all
of the particles in the universe. That combinatorics is so big a number that there are not enough atoms in the universe to provide the ink to even write down the number as an exponential. This makes John M's 122 orders of magnitude seem merely piffling.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">There you go .. same thing, twice in different ways, and in neither is all the photon at a single space (or time) or space-time, point. You may still think I am saying that, but I am
not.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hi John W</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I am so looking forward to our discussions at the conference.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">It seems that space is the container for all energy, in any form. The properties of space manage and control all energy. Martin’s “Light is heavy” paper illustrates part of the point, that energy, in any form,
in space, has mass-like effects. And for me, that also implies that light has an independent existence in space once emitted. Additionally, why state that matter is made of the same stuff as light, and then ignore the relativistic consequences of that statement?
For if that statement is true, then there is a clear Euclidian definition for 3 space, and a clear cause for time, as we perceive it.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">So I am coming to believe that Chandra’s CTF is more plausible than 4 space, and that 4 space is only a representation of the interaction of matter (fermions) with space. And then time, as we know and measure it,
is the result of the interaction of particles, caused by the speed of light.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">This would mean that<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>space itself</b><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>is a perfectly satisfactory “absorber” of emitted radiation, because space is the “container”
and “manager” of all energy. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Complex</b><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>in Complex Tension Field, for me includes some torsion and “polarization” effects as David mentioned in an
earlier email.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">For many reasons therefore I do not believe the “single-point-in-spacetime” “photon exchange” is real at all.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>For me, this approach causes many more problems than it
solves.</i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">And for many additional reasons, I feel that entanglement is an illusion caused by misinterpretation of the results of experiment, and misunderstanding the basic nature of light and extended spatial nature of particles
and their fields.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The cheapest solution to the HBT effect is Maxwellian waves.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I really admire your work, and the progress you have made in in that work, but I still feel that you have this one wrong. Maybe you will be able to show me why it must be so, but so far it still seems contrived
to me.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"; color:black">Now this is an interesting bunch of questions. Right to the heart of the matter indeed!<br>
<br>
I think it is wise to pause and go back here to the origin of dialectic itself - the Greek invention to begin to split up the world and systematise it. The idea that a question could be asked sufficient to split the answer into two possibilities, one true one
false. I think the answer to "is the photon quantised or is it the emitter and/or absorber" is ... "all three" because "all three" are part of the single process that we call photon exchange. Also the word "photon" as opposed to "light" simply CARRIES the
meaning of "quantised". This is a trite way to end an argument, but does not say anything about the deep understanding of why and how it is "quantised". Saying "quantised is often giving a word to sum up a lack of knowledge, to encompass a lack of understanding
into a simple label. We humans have been doing this sort of thing for a long time. There is an awful lot of room for bullshit here and it is easy to fool oneself into thinking something has deep meaning, when in fact it is contingent on the mathematical framework
in which one considers it. To illustrate this, just look at my light paper! The maths quantises continuous light if it is more than a few wavelengths long - but is the maths right? Who knows?<br>
<br>
Coming back to experiment, it may be nice to think about an emitter emitting a single photon bullet, later absorbed by an absorber, with the photon having an independent existence in between but this is not only not what is observed in experiment, but the whole
body of evidence contradicts this simple view. Emitter and absorber ARE experimentally entangled. Antibunching happens - but it part of a whole process. There is also the Hanbury-Brown Twiss effect to consider. The "interaction with absorber" theory also plays
a role - bringing in the question of causality itself. As Martin says this is a huge question.<br>
<br>
Remember also that the whole theme of the bi-ennial conference Chandra has been organising for more than a decade has been to try to answer the very point of "what is a photon?". The fact that a conclusive answer has not yet emerged tells the story.<br>
<br>
My own view is that the emitter AND absorber need to be quantised, but quantised in the same way. There is a need to look at Phat photons as a good experimental probe here and also, as I suggest in my "light" paper, emitters and absorbers in the fractional
quantum Hall regime may have fractional quantisation E = 1/3 h nu (you heard it here first!). This would show, conclusively, the role the emitter and absorber play, but still not settle the question posed properly as I think the fractional quantisation itself
is not yet properly understood..<br>
<br>
I think to make proper progress we need to develop a better theory that fits all the facts - just and no more. A theory that lays bare the nature of the emitter, the absorber, and the intermediating process - all at once and from a deeper underlying basis.
A theory that allows the whole process to be understood within a single framework.<br>
<br>
Should be fun trying this, even if we cannot sort it all out next week!<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Dear David, Richard and Chip,</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Thanks for the comments, what we are dealing with here is quite a difficult question indeed.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">First of all Chip, by your remark I can see you do really get the essence of and reason for my question, that is going to be helpfull.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Richard, certainly most of what you say is true and even relevant but does not yet hit on the deep implications of the possible answer of my question.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I must emphasize that do not denie any of the experimental facts commonly or less commonly known about quantum optics, etcetera.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Bunching and anti-bunching are true phenomena that shows transfer of energy goes in blips, and with certain statistics associated, in complete accordance of what we may think is a photon. Indeed, this is what IS
a photon, this is what defines ot experimentally. </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">What I am saying is that one can jump to conclusions and imagine a simple picture of a photon being some quantum particle to explain the outcome of the experiments (and for that purpose it will, always, work perfectly).
Alternatively one can take a more involved point of view by asigning an essential role to the emitter and absorber to explain the experiment. Being lazy, that doesn't seem to be a comfortable option, but it does open the door to solving deeper questions:</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">What is the nature of the photon?<br>
The alternative view relieves the photon from having on board everything to define it. That is the crucial insight.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">After a century in which no person has been able to answer the question, this seems to be a viable option. On top of that, it solves non-locality issues.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hi Chip,</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> There’s a long history and fight among the founders of quantum mechanics since 1926 about whether quantum processes can be treated as continuous (Schrodinger and others) or discrete quantum jumps (Heisenberg
and others). Their two quantum calculation methods (wave mechanics and matrix mechanics) were shown to be mathematically equivalent. And Einstein's ideas in 1905 about the light quantum (later named photon) as a carrier of light energy weren’t really generally
accepted until 1923 with the Compton effect where photons seem to act like billiard balls in terms of their energy and momentum interactions with electrons. Semi-Classical physics argues that emission and absorption processes are quantized but energy transmission
through radiation remains classical. Most physicists don’t accept semi-classical ideas any more and accept that the photon carries quantized energy given by E=hf even when photons are not being emitted or absorbed. QED supposedly solved the problem by renormalizing
infinities to finite numbers. Dirac was never satisfied with this approach (ugly math), but QED does give very precise answers. So it’s a long and continuing story. I think that Compton wavelength-sized electron models are a key to deeper understanding of
all this, because this length is often treated as a cutoff length in calculating the force between two electrons which might otherwise be treated as point charges associated with infinite energies.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The question of whether the “photon” is inherently quantized, or just appears quantized to us, through our observation of the reaction of the quantized emitters and absorbers, seems to be an important aspect for

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The process of emission is a quantized process, as is the process of absorption. But since a photon can be any number of wavelengths, depending on the quantized configuration of the emission process, it seems that
the photon itself cannot be strongly quantized, and may have no inherent quantization at all, meaning no forces in itself which cause it to be quantized. We know that fermions have forces which cause their resonant nature and quantization.</span></p>

it within the context of the exchange of energy and angular momentum by emitter, electromagnetic field and absorber. This is why the process can have any number of wavelenghts, any polarization and be entangled.</span></p>

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="color:black"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><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="color:black"></span></p>

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="color:black"></span></p>

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="color:black"></span></p>

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="color:black"></span></p>
