        acknowledged that events in the micro world are observer
        centric. If you believe it can be proven in the macro world as
        well you should do as I have suggested. State the science behind
        it. Then use mathematics to show that the effect of the science
        matches observation. Without that everything is mere conjecture,
        discussion about which can, and do, go on endlessly. </div>

        universe in which there are three space dimensions and time. It
        is populated by empty space with electric permittivity and
        magnetic permeability, photons and particles. Experimental
        science has observed all those things. Physics is about
        exploring how they interact to produce what is observed. </div>

        style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color:

        any physical or conjectural difficulties in using those
        properties to explain what is observed. I further suggest that
        classical physics, i.e. Newton's mechanics and Maxwell’s
        electromagnetism, form the basis of the physical world. Apply
        Newtonian mechanics to properties of the photon as I outlined a
        while ago and you get general relativity. Most people can’t
        calculate the precession of Mercury’s orbit around the sun.
        However you will find it is directly related to the redshift z
        of photons emitted by sun and traveling between Mercury and
        Earth orbits. General relativity has a sound physical basis.</div>

        quantum effects are due to the toroidal or rotating photon model
        of matter. Those calculations are complex. But they have a sound
        physical basis, namely classical physics and the photon, and
        they do match observation. The first example was Planck’s
        derivation of the emission spectra of black body radiation.
        Classical electromagnetism led to a runaway cascade at high
        temperature. Applying the quantum of energy, the photon, to
        Maxwell’s work correctly predicted the observed radiation
        spectra. IMHO the same applies for other aspects of physics that
        many people find difficult to comprehend.</div>

        convince people that the macro world is observer dependent,
        please state the physics behind the interaction between the
        observer and the effect it causes. Then use mathematics to show
        that the magnitude of the effect matches observation. Without
        those you will find it difficult to convince others, myself
        included, that there is validity to your assumption. Remember
        that the observers in special and general relativity situations
        will get different answers from observing the same phenomena
        from different perspectives. That does not men those observers
        affected the outcome.</div>

        the above, you are entitled to continue your study. Until such
        time as you can clearly and distinctly state the physical
        principle involved and use mathematics to show that the effect
        matches observation, do not be offended or surprised if you
        continue to receive negative comments about your work. Remember
        Einstein is still being criticized for his theories over a
        century after he first published, even though his calculations
        match observation. That criticism is due to people not
        understanding the physics involved. Those like myself who do
        understand the physics have no problem with his relativity
        theories.</div>

              <p>However if you insist that "What happens on a macro

                you've made the "naive reality" assumption which is the
                basis of classic physics and has been dis-proven on a
                microscopic scale by quantum theory and quite easy to
                disprove  in principle on a macroscopic scale if you
                ever attempt to account for the your own 1st person
                experience.</p>
              <p>I refer to the writings of Henry Stapp and Hugh Everett
                <br>
              </p>
              <p>Everett is known for his many-worlds theory but that
                was not his original thesis and that idea was actually
                popularized by Dewitt who thought the many-worlds idea 
                would sell more books. Everett originally based his
                theory on the assumption that all systems are observers
                <br>
              </p>
              <p>This is not outrageous but simply means that there is
                something that its like to be piece of material. That
                assumption and pan-psychism is the only logical
                resolution to Chalmers "Hard problem of Consciousness'
                and the Explanatory Gap in science. So if you want to
                logically include your own experience in a scientific
                theory then you will eventually come to the conclusion
                that all systems are observers. If you do continue to
                define physics as a discipline based on the "naive
                reality' assumption then you are welcome to do so, but
                then you've made a semantic declaration and physicists
                can no longer claim to be exploring the nature of
                reality, but rather a very limited subset of phenomena
                that happens to conform to a certain set of assumptions.
                i.e. physics becomes a religion and everyone is entitled
                to their own.</p>

                  relativity theories. Einstein did indeed develop those
                  from purely mathematical considerations. This is
                  different from what was proposed above. Without
                  knowledge of the science involved, many people neither
                  understand nor believe it. IMHO the toroidal or
                  rotating photon model for the structure of matter
                  provides the scientific basis for the special
                  relativity theory (SRT) corrections. When that is
                  applied, it covers all observations so far
                  encountered. In other words it works.  </div>

                  happening. They see the same distant event
                  differently. Although all observers measuring the same

                          <p>Chip and Graham:<o:p></o:p></p>
                          <p>Chip: First I would like to agree with your
                            agreement regarding Special relativity: "But
                            I do agree that Special Relativity, as
                            written and discussed by Einstein himself,
                            has a fundamental paradoxical logical
                            inconsistency, which cannot be explained
                            away by layers of additional
                            “interpretation” of his theory." This was my
                            original intent. First 1) to show that
                            inconsistencies exist in SRT , second 2) to
                            show that GRT was one avenue of development
                            that utilizes gravity and acceleration to
                            address the problems in SRT and to forward
                            our understanding of gravity, and thirdly 3)
                            to open the door for new directions. I did
                            not anticipate getting blind sided by
                            alternative interpretations that then did
                            not further the discussion into step two and
                            three. At least not in a step by step
                            logical way.<o:p></o:p></p>
                          <p>Chip second: "When several “observers” read
                            the data then collected and communicate
                            about that data, it is clear to us that we
                            have all viewed the same data.  It is
                            therefore quite ridiculous to assume that
                            we, the “observers”, had a notable effect on
                            the outcome of the automated experiment
                            weeks earlier." It is ridiculous only within
                            the context of an Aristotelian framework of
                            reality in which one assumes there is a
                            thing called "the same data". What if Plato,
                            Kant and to some extent quantum theory is
                            correct and the data no matter how or when
                            it is viewed is and always has been in the
                            eye of the beholder? Then the observer does
                            influence the outcome of the experiment
                            because for him the data he sees<b> is
                              reality</b> and that reality will depend
                            upon how he sees it.<o:p></o:p></p>
                          <p><o:p> </o:p></p>
                          <p>The question I ask myself is can a useful
                            and quantitative physics be built without 
                            "the same data" assumption. In philosophy
                            this is called the "naive reality"
                            assumption and Aristotle's view that we are
                            looking out through the windows of our
                            senses at an objective real world has won
                            the day for 500 years and it seem ridiculous
                            to challenge all the greats who have come to
                            this conclusion. But that is what I am
                            doing.<o:p></o:p></p>

                            <p class="MsoNormal">Hi Wolf<o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal">When a measurement is
                              taken, of any subatomic process, an
                              interaction is required. Whether that
                              interaction is caused by a sentient
                              observer, or an assembly of electronic
                              instrumentation, the requirement for
                              interaction is the same.  This is an
                              elementary issue, because if we are made
                              of atoms and molecules, which are made of
                              particles, and we want to study particles,
                              we must somehow interact with that which
                              we wish to study.  And interaction will
                              cause a change of state of the particle we
                              study. We simply do not have any tools to
                              study particles without having a
                              significant effect on the particles we
                              study.<o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal">To assume that
                              interactions require observation in order
                              to occur is logically flawed. And to
                              assume that the observer plays a larger
                              role that just that of interaction is also
                              therefore locically flawed.<o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal">We can build
                              instrumentation which automatically
                              records events, and then, weeks later, or
                              longer, we can first review the data which
                              was collected. We can do this in a
                              repeatable fashion, and expect the same or
                              very similar results.<o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal">When several
                              “observers” read the data then collected
                              and communicate about that data, it is
                              clear to us that we have all viewed the
                              same data.  It is therefore quite
                              ridiculous to assume that we, the
                              “observers”, had a notable effect on the
                              outcome of the automated experiment weeks
                              earlier. <o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal">The assumption of
                              uncertainty, and of multiple simultaneous
                              superposition of states, is simply due to
                              our lack of full knowledge of the state of
                              the system studied.<o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal">The universe has taught
                              us that there is a cause for each effect. 
                              The mistaken assumption that the observe
                              plays a larger role than just causing
                              interactions upon observation, was
                              fostered by other, previous, mistaken
                              assumptions.<o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal">One thing which seems
                              to be a common goal of this group is to
                              try to remove the mistaken assumptions and
                              see what that says, and where that leads.<o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal">I have read your
                              comments and discussions regarding an
                              observer centric universe.<o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal">Sorry I cannot agree.
                              Too many logical problems which that
                              approach.<o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal">But I do agree that
                              Special Relativity, as written and
                              discussed by Einstein himself, has a
                              fundamental paradoxical logical
                              inconsistency, which cannot be explained
                              away by layers of additional
                              “interpretation” of his theory.<o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p class="MsoNormal">As Grahame, and many of
                              us, have mentioned, there is a form of
                              relativity which is causal, and without
                              paradox.<o:p></o:p></p>
