Measured reality is the final arbiter. I hope I don't deviate from that.
OK, guys, I'm trying this from an entirely new tangent. Dark matter is proven. It accounts for approximately 90% of the mass of all galaxies. It has been proven and revealed through gravitational lensing. It's authority is pretty absolute - being Michio Kaku, Sean Carroll, and somebody? Ellis and an experimentalist - from Fermilab - Bauer. I think he's Don Bauer? In any event. Easily googled. It was first seen in the 1920's and again measured in the 60's by some woman. Sorry forget her name too. It can only be accounted for by the identification of some particle that emits no light. Gravitational lensing was the final measured proof. This was done with the advent of Hubble telescopes.It definitely creates a gravitational field so it has mass. But it has no properties consistent with any known particles. It may, however, be a wimp - weakly interacting massive particle, or a MACHO which is more like an imploded star and can be seen as dark spaces in some galaxies. It causes effects that fly in the face of classical physics. It is the thing that holds galaxies together where the outer boundaries, the outskirts, so to speak, have a constant velocity in defiance of classical requirement. In other words the entire galaxy spins at a constant velocity - unlike the Newtonian, or Einsteinian requirement for slower velocities from Pluto - on the outskirts of our solar system, compared to Mercury - at its centre?This specifically does not fit in within a classical framework. I could go into this with a bit of research - I've got a lot on it. But would this be enough of an exception for you guys to consider that the electromagnetic force does not explain all? EDIT Measured reality the final arbiter - Vern. This is measured.
It's 2.24 am. by the computer clock. I'm a cat napper and a chronic insomniac. I usually spend my late nights chatting to a whole lot of science friends in the States. Sometimes I chat to guys in Australia. This intercontinental link has filled my nights for the last 10 years. It's only now that I've found a forum. Jerry - your dot waves are too general. They do anything and everything to fit in everywhere. It's like saying - wind is a dot wave and so is that mountain. It does not explain how the wind may have structured the mountain. Edit. And nor does it fit in with your requirement for Maxwell explaining all that is manifest.
I can split the electric and magnetic field into different dimensions. That is okay with me. I cannot split the interactions between the fields because we have not seen such occurrences.Jerrygg38If you can split the electric and magnetic field into different dimensions, then why can't I? That's exactly what I'm trying to point to. Here's the concept - yet again.Please, please, please, Jerrygg38. Try and read this. It's almost the entire foundational basis of the field model.
I try to avoid multiple dimensions, virtual anything, and periods in which the laws of nature did not hold. I suspect those are just crutches used by advocates to avoid otherwise falsifying situations. If I have a premise and find that it can not possibly fit in this dimension, I could either accept the fact as falsification; or I could invent another dimension to save the day.Then if I have a premise about particles as the medium of force conveyance and find impossible situations for that scenario, I can invent virtual particles to save the day.Then if I have a premise about the birth of the universe and find that it can not work within the present laws of nature, I can invent a period of time in which the laws of nature did not hold and save the day.
Hi Vern, I missed this. Actually it's not been posted long. Speak your mind. Do you think that the introduction of more dimensions is simply nonsense - some sort of unncessary pomposity? It actually IS critical. I'm very aware of your positings throughout - even in discussion with Jerrygg38 - where you express your objections. But it is necessay. I thought the way I described it made it too simple for anyone to accuse it of some form of exotic abstractions. I CANNOT work out your objection to it.
OK I sort of agree with that. Do you see the reconstituded mass - the nebulae coming out of a worm hole? something like that - from black holes? Why should matter cluster together. Why not scattered evenly throughout space?
Yes Vern, the practical engineer is showing in you. It is an advantage since we are used to buiding things which work.
