Y33.00001: Backward traverse on Lattices seems to be easier than forward traverse Richard Kriske If one were to look at a Feynman Diagram as edges and nodes, and a great group of these Diagrams would comprise the Non-Laplacian Statistics that are used in complete Calculations of Events, such as the penetration of light into a group of stacked atoms, then there are a large number of missing diagrams that are of a strange sort. That being those diagrams that come to the end of a calculation and then back up in time to a previous node and start down a parallel path. It turns out that photons that back up in time can travel down parallel paths, can do so more easily than photons that move foward in time from that node. The reason that this appears to be so, is that forward motion in time for photons is a two-step phenomena because of the Non-Laplacian Statistics. The backward path to the previous node is already known. There is another method that nature could use to travel parallel paths and that is to simply have a totally original path, with nothing to do with the known nodes and edges. This author suggests that there is a hidden structure to time that creates easier paths backward in time for photons than forward in time, so that contrary to current thinking most photons travel backward in time easily, then forward in time along parallel paths.

Y33.00003: On Energy and Momentum in Contemporary Physics Peter Sujak This paper analyzes the quantities of energy and momentum in the definitional relationship of classical mechanics and relativistic mechanics, in the de Broglie momentum hypothesis and in the Klein-Gordon, Dirac and Schrodinger equation. The results of analysis shows that $\lambda $ designated in the de Broglie hypothesis $\lambda =h/mv$ as the wave of matter with rest state value $\lambda =\infty $ must be connected with a real dimension of a particle with rest state value $\lambda =l_{o} =h/m_{o} c$ and that on this basis we can come to the fundamental equations of quantum mechanics that are the Klein-Gordon, Dirac and Schrodinger equation without the necessity of the wave functions. Energies in relativistic mechanics as $mc^{2}$,$mvc$, and $m_{o} c^{2}$, and energy of a photon $h\nu $ do not represent quantities of energies, but quantity of momentums intentionally multiplied by $c$, so $mc\cdot c$, $mv\cdot c$, $m_{o} c\cdot c$, $h\nu /c\cdot c$ and merely the dimension of such quantities equals in dimension the quantity of energy.

Y33.00004: Derivatives, Lagrangians, Points, Strings, and Balls Alfred Phillips Jr. Constrained by the uncertainty principle, the speed limit for information transfer, the equivalence of mass and energy, and gravity, we speculate as to whether or not we need new mathematics and/ or new physical insights to resolve the 120 order-of-magnitude difference in the vacuum energy of quantum theory and general relativity. We speculate on the specific subject objects, given the aforementioned constraints. [Preview Abstract] |

Y33.00005: The Travelling Wave Group -- 5 Departures from Dirac's Principles Antony J. Bourdillon The Traveling Wave Group (TWG) for a free particle is written, $\psi = A(X^{2}/2\sigma^{2}+X)$. Here, $X=i(kx-\omega t)$, $\sigma $ is an experimental initial value, with $A $a normalizing constant dependent on it, while $\omega $ is the mean angular frequency, and \textbf{\textit{k}} the mean wave vector. Unlike Dirac's unstable wave packet; the TWG is stable. From it, the following are derived: the Uncertainty Principle [1]; Planck's law; the de Broglie hypothesis; phase velocity; pseudo mass M' [2]; conservation of M'PT [3]; 5-dimensional space; mass as a local excess of energy over momentum [4]; an explanation for entanglement at a distance, etc.\\[4pt] [1] Bourdillon, A.J., \textit{J.

Y33.00007: The quantal algebra and the principle of complementarity Samir Lipovaca We will derive the quantal algebra based on the general complementary concepts platform where the anticommutator is understood as a complementary concept of a commutator. An obvious property of a commutator is that it is antisymmetrical. It reminds us of the antisymmetrical tensor of the electromagnetic field. We recall that homogeneous pair of Maxwell's equations can be written as a single tensor equation. If we replace the tensor in this equation by the commutator we arrive at the Jacobi identity which is the first defining identity of the quantal algebra. If we replace commutators by anticommutators in the Jacobi identity, obviously there is no possibility of terms cancelation due to only addition. A subtraction between two successive terms leads to the second defining identity of the quantal algebra. There is always some relationship between complementary concepts. Guided by this observation we seek a relation between the commutator and the anticommutator and arrive at the third defining identity of the quantal algebra. Identities with the unit element are immediate consequences of the commutator and anticommutator definitions. [Preview Abstract] |

Y33.00008: Photon Frequency Shifts by its Spin and Hubble Galaxy Red Shift vs Distance Sang Boo Nam A new mechanism for the photon frequency shifts by its spin, occurring from the inertial frame to the non-inertial (rotating) frame, is discussed. The photon spin one is shown with the frequency shifts by the Maxwell equations, without quantization of the photon field. The shifts are found to be varying with the photon path length, distance between its source and its observer. With the rotation of our galaxy, they account for the Hubble galaxy red shift vs distance and red shifts via supernovae, and blue shifts via galaxies. The sunlight red and blue shifts by its spin, are predicted, with the earth-self rotation. A mechanical (rotation) scheme is given for determination of a particle spin. [Preview Abstract] |

Y33.00009: A new observation of a cosmic microwave background radiation supports my idea that a balance universe model between stellar matter and dark matter is like Chinese TaiJi Model Dayong Cao Einstein's equation gives a balance model of the universe. However it is not a steady model. As we know, there is a large amount of dark matter around stars and galaxies. This dark matter structure is very special. A new balance model of the universe, includes the dark matter, needed to be looked for. The stellar matter is a positive of Einstein's model. The dark matter is a negative of Einstein's model by ``mass-energy coordinate'' system because it has a space-time center. http://meetings.aps.org/link/BAPS.2010.SES.FC.9, Both of them build up a Dynamic Steady Balance Universal TaiJi Model without cosmological constant. http://meetings.aps.org/link/BAPS.2010.DNP.FE.9, So the map of CMB is like the Chinese TaiJi map. And there may be a ``hot spot'' across ``Axis of Evil'' and opposite to the ``cold spot.'' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2430415, So there is a negative black-body radiation. A positive black-body radiation and a negative black-body radiation also builds up a balance model such as TaiJi Model. http://meetings.aps.org/link/BAPS.2012.APR.K1.78, The paper supposes that dark negative heat never spontaneously flows from a hot substance to a cold substance in dark matter system. The negative second law of thermodynamics and the second law of thermodynamics build up a balance model such as TaiJi Model too. [Preview Abstract] |

Y33.00010: The Misapplication of Probability Theory in Quantum Mechanics Ronald Racicot This article is a revision of two papers submitted to the APS in the past two and a half years. In these papers, arguments and proofs are summarized for the following: \begin{enumerate} \item The wrong conclusion by EPR that Quantum Mechanics is incomplete, perhaps requiring the addition of ``hidden variables'' for completion. Theorems that assume such ``hidden variables,'' such as Bell's theorem, are also wrong. \item Quantum entanglement is not a realizable physical phenomenon and is based entirely on assuming a probability superposition model for quantum spin. Such a model directly violates conservation of angular momentum. \item Simultaneous multiple-paths followed by a quantum particle traveling through space also cannot possibly exist. Besides violating Noether's theorem, the multiple-paths theory is based solely on probability calculations. Probability calculations by themselves cannot possibly represent simultaneous physically real events. \end{enumerate} None of the reviews of the submitted papers actually refuted the arguments and evidence that was presented. These analyses should therefore be carefully evaluated since the conclusions reached have such important impact in quantum mechanics and quantum information theory. [Preview Abstract] |

Y33.00011: A Local Realistic Reconciliation of the EPR Paradox Bryan Sanctuary The exact violation of Bell's Inequalities is obtained with a local realistic model for spin. The model treats one particle that comprises a quantum ensemble and simulates the EPR data one coincidence at a time as a product state. Such a spin is represented by operators $\sigma_{x},i\sigma _{y},\sigma_{z}$ in its body frame rather than the usual set of $\sigma _{X},\sigma_{Y},\sigma_{Z}$ in the laboratory frame. This model, assumed valid in the absence of a measuring probe, contains both quantum polarizations and coherences. Each carries half the EPR correlation, but only half can be measured using coincidence techniques. The model further predicts the filter angles that maximize the spin correlation in EPR experiments.

Y33.00012: Relativistic Nonlocality and the EPR Paradox Thomas Chamberlain Denial of a privileged coordinate system, or aether, in formulating the electro-mechanical function of systems in motion was Einstein's profound contribution resulting in his relativity theory in 1905. His correct rejection of an empirically meaningful aether was made emphatically clear by the constant, isotropic light-speed stipulation. However, many laboratory experiments of the Michelson-Morley kind, before and after 1905, have established Lorentz-invariant photon round-trip time between opposing mirrors as more fundamental. On this more essential basis an alternative clock synchronization model and convention is defined which implicitly retains the Lorentz transformation. Anisotropic photon velocity is an integral feature of this model. In one (of two) limits, photon flight between mirrors becomes unbounded in the at-rest coordinate system, thereby advancing the prospect of instantaneous affect---but not instantaneous finite-distance information exchange. Prospective/heuristic resolution of the apparent paradox between special-relativity required locality and quantum mechanics non-locality under Bell's inequality theorem is addressed.
