E4.00001: GEM Unification Rescinded Officially Douglas Sweetser I have claimed to find a testable candidate to unify gravity and the three other fundamental forces of Nature. Thanks to sometimes trying efforts on a Science20 blog, I now have reasons why the claim is in error. Gravity conserves angular momentum. The hypercomplex numbers used in the field strength tensor would require breaking angular momentum conservation. Mass is conserved. Without a gauge transformation, mass is not a conserved quantity like electric charge is with U(1) gauge symmetry. It is difficult to quantize any field theory. The use of hypercomplex numbers may make such an effort futile. One prediction of the work, that there was no Higgs boson, has be shown to be inaccurate due to the the discovery at the LHC. The proposal was in field theory form and never worked out as a force, a unacceptable omission. Any future work on unification of gravity with the other forces of Nature will need to directly resolve these issues. [Preview Abstract] |

E4.00002: Gravity and the Conservation Laws Raymond Davies Gravity is arguably the Physical Phenomenon with which we are most familiar and yet it is one of the least understood. Gravitons or Gravity waves have not been detected and identified. Add the fact that gravity affects bodies according to their mass, regardless of their size or shape, raising doubts about the applicability of the Inverse Square Law, then there is good reason to look for some quite different explanation for that which holds the whole Universe in place while allowing considerable freedom of movement. The presentation will suggest that separated bodies can not apply a force on one another, but that, on the contrary, all bodies in a system move independently of one another maintaining their momentum, while adhering to a constant total separation between each pair of bodies that represents the total energy between them. An additional dimension (X) is needed for this to happen. With this dimension, all free-fall trajectories are circles that, in space, appear as circles, ellipses or even vertical lines. The hypothesis concludes that Newton's equation for acceleration does not apply to all Gravitational effects, such as the trajectory of a body dropped vertically from several thousand miles above the earth. Its acceleration, in contrast to that calculated using the Inverse Square Law, decreases as the body falls. [Preview Abstract] |

E4.00003: Colliding with the Speed of Light, Using Low-Energy Photon-Photon Collision Study the Nature of Matter and the Universe Meggie Zhang Our research discovered logical inconsistence in physics and mathematics. Through reviewing the entire history of physics and mathematics we gained new understanding about our earlier assumptions, which led to a new interpretation of the wave function and quantum physics. We found the existing experimental data supported a 4-dimensional fractal structure of matter and the universe, we found the formation of wave, matter and the universe through the same process started from a single particle, and the process itself is a fractal that contributed to the diversity of matter. We also found physical evidence supporting a not-continuous fractal space structure. The new understanding also led to a reinterpretation of nuclear collision theories, based on this we succeeded a room-temperature low-energy photon-photon collision (RT-LE-PPC), this method allowed us to observe a topological disconnected fractal structure and succeeded a simulation of the formation of matter and the universe which provided evidences for the nature of light and matter and led to a quantum structure interpretation, and we found the formation of the universe started from two particles. However this work cannot be understood with current physics theories due to the logical problems in the current physics theories. [Preview Abstract] |

E4.00004: The Red Shift in Electrons and Excess Mass Richard Kriske If one where to imagine standing on a nucleus of an Atom, and looking at the orbital of an electron. Imagine the Electron as a standing wave as in the DeBroglie Atom. If you look to either Horizon, the wavelength lengthens as if it where Redshifted, due to the fact that it is normal to a curved surface (in the simple case it is normal to a circle). The surface has to be a space time surface with time normal to every point of space, so the Redshift is not just imagined, but has to be there. The time normal to the observer on the nucleus is not the time normal at the Horizon. Every now and then an Electron tunnels directly through the nucleus. The observer on the nucleus would see an electron with the opposite time normal appear. What is the meaning of this? Using the Schroedinger equation, this electron would have the wrong mass, when it appears. This orbital would cause the Nucleus to vibrate slightly and the atom would be radioactive. This author believes he has found a new explaination for ``Excess Mass'' that may be tied to the Red-Shift, or the lack of Red-Shift in the radioactive nucleus. [Preview Abstract] |
