      <font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Short interrupt: How is
        energy defined? -> Energy is the ability to do work. So, if
        there is energy somewhere, there must be a mechanism to transfer
        this energy to some object to give this object energy. Now my
        question: how can energy exist by itself as an abstract
        phenomenon so that some object can pick up this energy? There
        should be a mechanism, and with your position you should
        describe this mechanism.<br>
        <br>
        On the other hand, if energy is always connected to an object,
        i.e. it is a property of an object, it can easily be transferred
        to another object by the application of forces. That is
        understandable to me, so I prefer this approach.</font>

      needs a force, and in the general case the force transfers energy.

                vicinity.  Therefore how do they know to “exchange

              the understanding that energy is conserved is quite young.

                gravitational field, so in the vicinity of an object, is

                exchange particles, it is easily understandable that the
                interaction of any kind of exchange particles disturbs
                the path of a light-like particle and so reduces its
                speed. More is not necessary. - You say: "The momentum
                of the energy circulation within the particle causes
                both inertial mass and gravitational mass". To my

                about a dozen equations of school mathematics (so

              <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
              <p>Dear Chip,<o:p></o:p></p>
              <p>thank you for your response. - I think I have to give
                some more comments about my model.<o:p></o:p></p>
              <p>I am using the concept of exchange particles (the only
                idea I have borrowed from QM) which is not to be
                confused with virtual particles. I also believe that
                virtual particles do not exist. One well known problem
                with them is the cosmological "vacuum catastrophe",
                which means the  difference between the theoretical
                energy of all virtual particles summed up and the real
                energy in the universe, which means a conflicting factor
                of 120 orders of magnitude. This assumption, also called
                "vacuum polarization", was invented to explain the Landé
                factor of the electron. In my model this Landé factor
                can be classically explained.<o:p></o:p></p>
              <p>Exchange particles on the other hand are assumed to
                mediate forces. In case of the electric force the photon
                is assumed to be the exchange particle, which is (in
                this case) not a virtual particle. <o:p></o:p></p>
              <p>How do you unify gravity and the electric force? This
                was attempted by many, also by Einstein who did not
                succeed with this idea. A general counterargument is the
                fact that gravity is so different from the other "three"
                forces that I think it is a completely different
                phenomenon, not even a force. <o:p></o:p></p>
              <p>My approach to gravity is so a completely different
                one. We know from measurements (and also from Einstein's
                thoughts) that the speed of light is reduced in a
                gravitational field. (A formula for it follows from
                Einstein's GRT, but can also be deduced classically,
                what my model does.) If accordingly a light-like
                particle moves in a gravitational field, then its path
                is classically refracted towards the gravitational
                source. This - applied to the internal oscillations of a
                particle - causes the particle to move towards the
                gravitational source by a constant acceleration. This
                process fully explains gravitation, the classical one
                (as of Newton) as well as the relativistic one (as of
                Einstein).<o:p></o:p></p>
              <p>Regarding space as pure emptiness, you ask the
                question: "<span style="color:#660000">If we assume
                  space is completely empty then it does become quite
                  difficult to explain the cause for relationships
                  between space and time, and the cause for a fixed
                  velocity of light.</span>" In my understanding this is
                not a problem. Because if we follow the relativity of
                Lorentz rather Einstein, there does not exist a special
                relationship between space and time. And the good thing
                about the Lorentzian relativity is that it is
                mathematically much simpler than Einstein's, more
                related to physics, and even though has fundamentally
                the same results as with Einstein. Space is then fully
                described by Euclidean geometry. <o:p></o:p></p>
              <p>And regarding the speed of light we can change the
                statement "nothing can move faster than c" to a more
                radical one: "all objects at the lowest level, i.e.
                basic particles and exchange particles, <i>only move at
                  c</i>; there is no other speed". Any objects moving at
                a different speed than c are not particles but
                configurations of particles, which of course can move at
                any speed. And why is this speed c constant? Because if
                mass-less objects moving at c interact, it is on the
                lowest level always an elastic interaction. Such
                interaction will change the direction of a motion, but
                never the speed of a motion. So if we now assume that
                during the Big Bang, in this very dense situation, all
                objects have taken the same speed, this speed has
                normally no reason to change any more later. <o:p></o:p></p>
              <p>I think that one of the strongest reasons that physics
                did not progress during the last century is the
                assumption that space has certain properties rather than
                being empty. Particularly Einstein's assumptions about
                space and time have hampered progress in physics. It
                seems to me like a religion as it makes the
                understanding more complex without any necessity. Any
                comparison of the relativity of Einstein with the
                approach of Lorentz shows this very clearly.<o:p></o:p></p>

                <p class="MsoNormal">However, with the approach I have
                  used, I am able to do all the things you have
                  mentioned as well.  But I am also able to demonstrate
                  quantized electric charge without resorting to
                  “virtual particles” to do so. In fact I do not think
                  such particles exist.  I have also been able,
                  recently, to unify the force of electric charge with
                  gravity, and to show specific cause for inertial and
                  gravitational mass equivalence. We have both found
                  that the strong force exists in all particles, and
                  that force is unified with the other forces as well.
                  Using this approach there is no reason to try to
                  explain how light mysteriously only propagates forward
                  at c. It is not a mystery using this approach. If we

                <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
                <p class="MsoNormal">So in my view, particles are not
                  the most fundamental, but rather space and energy are
                  fundamental.<o:p></o:p></p>
                <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
                <p class="MsoNormal">There are problems with

                <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
                <p class="MsoNormal">For a time in our recent scientific
                  history many physicists felt that space was empty.
                  This of course occurred after the introduction of
                  Special Relativity.  But later Einstein himself
                  reversed his view on this topic, and stated that with
                  General Relativity space is warped by gravity. One
                  cannot warp what does not exist. But by the time
                  General Relativity was introduced, the logical damage
                  had already been done to the then developing QM
                  theories. So we are stuck with mysterious “virtual
                  particles” to explain force at a distance, when space
                  itself is actually the most theoretically economical
                  explanation.<o:p></o:p></p>
                <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
                <p class="MsoNormal">So, I agree, that if you are going
                  to start with the assumption that space is nothing,
                  empty, then your approach is about the best one can
                  do.  <o:p></o:p></p>
                <p class="MsoNormal">But it is not requisite that we

                <p>Dear Chip,<o:p></o:p></p>
                <p>thank you for your detailed information. My approach
                  is indeed a bit different and I would like to explain
                  where and why.<o:p></o:p></p>
                <p>You refer a lot of the phenomena to properties of
                  space. That is something I do not. I have just
                  finished reading a book which explains, in which way
                  Einstein during his whole life has attempted to
                  explain physical phenomena as properties of the space.
                  He even tried to develop a universal field theory (a
                  GTE) in this way. He did not have success. -  I try to
                  do the opposite, so to develop physical models under
                  the assumption that space is nothing than emptiness.
                  One specific physical property which is normally
                  related to space, the speed of light, is in my view
                  the speed of all (massless) exchange particles which
                  permanently move at the speed of light. Why are they
                  doing it? I have a quite simple model for this, but
                  even then it is too extensive to present it now at
                  this place.<o:p></o:p></p>
                <p>Most of the facts which you have addressed in the
                  following are explained by my (2-particle) model.<o:p></o:p></p>
                <p>At first the unresolved question why an electron
                  (which is assumed to be smaller than 10<sup>-18</sup>
                  m) can have a magnetic moment and a spin having the
                  known values: QM says merely that this cannot be
                  explained by visualisation, as it is a QM topic. So,
                  not explained. My model explains it quantitatively.<o:p></o:p></p>
                <p>Further points:<br>
                  <br>
                  o   particle-wave: the particle has an alternating
                  field around, which fulfils the requirements in this
                  question<o:p></o:p></p>
                <p>o  the mass of any lepton and any quark is correctly
                  given by the size of the particle. There is only one
                  parameter free for the corresponding formula, which is
                  h*c (so nothing new)<o:p></o:p></p>
                <p>o  the magnetic moment and the spin of all leptons
                  and all quarks is also quantitatively explained by
                  this model, no further free parameters needed<o:p></o:p></p>
                <p>o  the relation  <i>E=hv </i> follows from this
                  model for leptons, for quarks, and surprisingly also
                  for photons. So it is according to my model not a
                  property of the space but of the model. This can be
                  another indication that the photon is a particle<o:p></o:p></p>
                <p>o  the relativistic dilation follows immediately from
                  this model, no further free parameters needed<o:p></o:p></p>
                <p>o  the relativistic increase of mass at motion
                  follows directly from this model, no further free
                  parameters needed<o:p></o:p></p>
                <p>o the relativistic equation  <i>E=mc<sup>2</sup> </i>
                  follows from the model, no further free parameters
                  needed<o:p></o:p></p>
                <p>o  the dynamical mass of the photon follows from the
                  model even though not all properties of the photon are
                  explained by the model. But also the relation  <i>E=hv</i> 
                  follows formally also for the photon.<o:p></o:p></p>
                <p>o  energy conservation is in my view not a general
                  property of the physical world (as it is violated in
                  the case of exchange particles) but also this is a
                  consequence of the set up of a particle as described
                  by this model. So the saying that something is a
                  "consequence of energy in space" is not reflected by
                  the physical reality<o:p></o:p></p>
                <p>I think that it is a reasonable requirement to judge
                  physical models by asking for <u>quantitative</u>
                  results of a model. During my time working on models
                  and participating in the according conferences I have
                  seen so many elegant looking models that I did not
                  find a better criterion for looking deeper into a
                  model than looking for results, which can be compared
                  to measurements.<o:p></o:p></p>

                  <p class="MsoNormal">The best analysis I have been
                    able to make of the experimental data so far, seems
                    to indicate that light often acts like particles
                    when reacting with particles, and acts like waves
                    when propagating through space.<o:p></o:p></p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal">As Chandra has pointed out, it is

                  <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal">The underlying cause for action
                    is what I feel we have to look for.  If energy
                    behaves in a specific manner when confined within a
                    particle, it is due to the properties of space.
                    Which is to say that the rules which govern the
                    quantization of energy in particles are rules
                    imposed by the properties of space. So if those
                    rules exist in space in order to cause particles of
                    mass, it would follow that some of the same rules
                    (since these rules are part of space) might govern
                    the way energy behaves in light.<o:p></o:p></p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal">As we analyze the available data
                    <i>E=hv </i>becomes evident. This is a set of
                    boundary conditions imposed on the behavior of
                    energy in space. But <i>E=hv </i>applies to the
                    energy in light. The energy in particles is better
                    characterized by <i>E=hv/2</i>. And the frequency <i>v</i>
                    in particles of mass is <i>2v</i> the frequency in
                    light.<o:p></o:p></p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal">It occurs to me that the NIW
                    property which Chandra has rediscovered could be due
                    to the simple preservation of momentum, or it could
                    be due to the point-like localization of the
                    “energy” at the origin of what we call a photon.<o:p></o:p></p>

                    this out. But given the information which is known,
                    it currently feels to me that we should consider
                    that space imposes a set of rules on the behavior of
                    energy in space.<o:p></o:p></p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal">If we follow the concept that
                    space is a tension field, then we must also realize
                    that in that model, energy must PULL on space, in
                    order for us to sense that <i>E=hv</i>. This is
                    specifically why we would see that more energetic
                    particles are <b>smaller particles</b>. And
                    following that premise to a logical conclusion,

                  <p class="MsoNormal">I have found remarkable agreement
                    between Albrecht’s math and my research, but I have
                    come to these equations using a totally different
                    approach, and I do not think the two massless
                    particle explanation for the electron is the most
                    instructive way to envision this particle.<o:p></o:p></p>

                  <p class="MsoNormal">My view is more similar to

                    this tension field, causing displacements,) which
                    propagate at the speed of light.  But that premise
                    seems to me to require that the reaction of space to
                    energy sets up oscillatory boundary conditions,
                    making more energetic particles smaller, and
                    quantizing all transverse propagation of energy in
                    space.  This means that I currently feel that

                      underscore the origin of my concept of Complex
                      Tension Field (CTF). This was necessary to
                      accommodate (i) constant velocity of light in
                      every part of the universe and (ii) Optical
                      Doppler Shifted spectra from atoms in any star in
                      any galaxy, including our Sun. All atoms, whether
                      in earth lab or in a distant star corona, are
                      experiencing the same stationary CTF. But, the
                      trigger point to conceive CTF came from my
                      re-discovery of the Non-Interaction of Waves
                      (NIW); which is already built into our current
                      math. However, the inertia of our cultural
                      tendency is to continue believing in non-causal
                      postulate of wave-particle duality from the
                      erroneous assumption that Superposition Principle
                      is an observable phenomenon. It is not. The
                      observable phenomenon is the causal and measurable
                      Superposition Effect reported through physical
                      transformation in detectors. My book, “Causal
                      Physics: Photon Model by Non-Interaction of

                      variety of optical experiments. By my own
                      philosophy, it is definitely not infallible.
                      However, it would be hard to neglect, at least in
                      the field of optical sciences. Please, go to the

                      structural difference of photons (or of EM waves)
                      depending on their frequency/energy? You surely
                      know that this does not conform to the general
                      understanding of present physics? And now in your
                      view: at which frequency/energy does the structure
                      change? Because at some point there must be a
                      break, doesn't it?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
                  <p><span style="font-size:13.5pt">Why do you think
                      that photons (Gamma wave packets) do not have
                      inertial mass? They have energy, no doubt. And
                      energy is related to inertial mass, agree? Photons
                      / Gamma wave packets - also low energy wave
                      packets - have a momentum and cause a radiation
                      pressure. We know - and can measure - the
                      radiation pressure of the sun. Spaceships react on
                      it. To my knowledge, no one has never met a
                      photons which no mass. The assumption of no-mass
                      is the result of a model, nothing more. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
                  <p><span style="font-size:13.5pt">The conversion of
                      particles is an unresolved question of present
                      physics. QM is giving descriptions - they have
                      generation operators - but as usual  no physical
                      explanation. -  I find it funny that photons can
                      be generated in large numbers when an electric
                      charge experiences a changing field, supposed the
                      necessary energy is present. The other reaction,
                      the conversion of a photon into an
                      electron-positron pair is in the view of my
                      particle model not surprising. You may remember
                      that in my model a lepton and a quark is built by
                      a pair of massless "Basic" particles (which have
                      electric charge). I find it possible that also a
                      photon is built in this way, but as the photon has
                      twice the spin of a lepton/quark it may be built
                      by two pairs of basic particles rather than one,
                      which have in this case positive and negative
                      electric charges. And if now the photon interacts
                      with another object so that momentum can be
                      exchanged, it may break off into two halves, so
                      into an electron and a positron as all necessary
                      constituents are already there. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
                  <p><span style="font-size:13.5pt">Why does a photon
                      cause scattering, interference, and so on? Because
                      in this model it has positive and negative
                      electric charges in it. And as these charges a
                      orbiting (with c of course) they cause an
                      alternating electric field in the vicinity, and so
                      there is a classical wave causing this
                      wave-related behaviour. I find this simple, and it
                      fits to de Broglie's idea, and in addition it
                      solves the particle-wave question very

                      a model for all this, which is as simple and as

                            <p class="MsoNormal">And, we have already
                              mastered this technology quite a bit. The
                              biosphere exists. It has been nurturing
                              biological lives for over 3.5 billion
                              years without the intervention of humans.
                              We are a very late product of this
                              evolution. This is an objective
                              recognition on our part! Our, successful
                              evolution needed “instantaneous color”
                              recognition to survive for our day-to-day
                              living in our earlier stage. We have now
                              overcome our survival mode as a species.
                              And we now have become a pest in the
                              biosphere, instead of becoming the
                              caretaker of it for our own long-term
                              future. <b><i>This is the sad break in
                                  our wisdom.</i></b> This is why I am
                              promoting the concept, “Urgency of
                              Evolution Process Congruent Thinking”.
                              This approach helps generate a common, but
                              perpetually evolving thinking platform for
                              all thinkers, whether working to
                              understand Nature’s Engineering (Physics,
                              Chemistry, Biology, etc.) or, to carry out

                            <p>Unfortunately the TED talk does not work
                              on my machine but the transcript is
                              available and Anl Seth states what many
                              people studying the human psyche as well
                              as eastern philosophy have said for
                              centuries , Yes we are Hallucinating
                              reality and our physics is built upon that
                              hallucination, but it works so well, or
                              does it? <o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p>However  as Don Hoffmancognitive
                              scientist UC Irvine  contends <a
href="https://www.ted.com/talks/donald_hoffman_do_we_see_reality_as_it_is"
                                moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.ted.com/talks/donald_hoffman_do_we_see_reality_as_it_is</a><o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p>What we see is like the icons on a
                              computer screen, a file icon may only be a
                              symbol of what is real on the disk, but
                              these icons as well as the
                              "hallucinations" are connected to some
                              reality and we must take them seriously.
                              Deleting the icon also deletes the disk
                              which may have disastrous consequences.<o:p></o:p></p>
                            <p>For our discussion group it means we can
                              take Albrechts route and try to understand
                              the universe and photons first based upon
                              the idea that it is independently real and
                              then solve the human consciousness problem
                              or we can take the opposite approach and
                              rebuild a  physics without the independent
                              physical reality assumption and see if we
                              cannot build out a truly macroscopic
                              quantum theory. Concentrating on finding
                              the mechanisms of connection between the
                              Hallucination and the reality is my
                              approach. I think the constant speed of
                              light assumption is one of the first
                              pillars that must fall. If there is such a
                              constant it should in my opinion be
                              interpreted as the speed of Now , a
                              property we individually apply to all our
                              observations.  <o:p></o:p></p>
