Quantum Resonance 1 - Questions and Answers

The best scientists are the ones who are humble and philosophers. The worst scientists are the ones who believe they are something special because they gained some deeper understanding into some specific aspect of some theory, may it be general relativity, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, string theory, loop quantum gravity or the Bible.

Let me point out that mathematics does not prove anything and therefore nothing will ever proof any kind of universal theory except that we may gain a gut feel of ‘THAT COULD WORK’. Mathematics is a language that conveys a limited understanding to some limited aspect of some limited area of research. No more. Many mathematical methods are questionable tricks, such as renormalization. Many models require intermediate mechanisms that are completely unrealistic but seem to produce a plausible result of sorts.

That is nothing new. Long before modern science used mathematics philosphers were using imagination, as did Einstein in his ‘Gedankexperiment’, to find answers to troubling questions. One of the key questions already discussed in ancient India was whether the universe was built upon a continuum or a quantized grid. That core issue is as of now unresolved.

In classical physics (Newtonian) we look at values only on a larger statistical scale in Euclidian space and not at units of ONE. Looking at all aspects of ONE is not possible, hence Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. What we can measure IS ACTUALLY all we can know and we need to utilize one interaction with an entity to measure the other. That is however not a measurement problem but it is reality. Observation is interaction. If something does not interact with something else, then by all principles it does not exist. This is a proposal that Einstein was not willing to accept.

The conclusion is in terms of philosophy simple. Everything has to interact with something else at all times to exist. Light-quanta (photons) that travel lonely and non-interacting through space would be lost to this universe once they stop interacting. Quantum mechanics faces the problem of interaction in that the paradoxes only appear when you want to use an outside observer that is not part of the quantum system. It also puts the issue of causality on a new footing, because the observer is a cause! I propose that interaction is not cause and effect with time passing but that energy can be observed as time and/or distance.

That opens up questions of what the vacuum of empty space is made of. What topology is it built upon? What is time? Where does the energy of this universe come from? What is causality? None of these questions can be answered without considering cosmology. An important consideration is today the concept of emergence, in which we leave the path of reductionism to find ever smaller causal building blocks. Phase transitions with symmetry breaking changes of topology seem to play a major role in forming the layers of the universal structure.

What if anything could a) carry the timeless, non-local force of gravity and propagate the timeful, local electromagnetic waves? A plausibel proposal is that each quantum oscillator carries its own little universe with time and space around. Topological phase transitions would have to manifest the entities and forces of the standard model or quantum field theory by emergence.

As you can see we are nowhere nearer the answers, we are just finding more questions!
