"When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence: Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter. ... Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended ... thus the concept of particles cannot play a fundamental part, ... and can only appear as a limited region in space in which the field strength or energy density are particularly high."
(Albert Einstein, Metaphysics of Relativity, 1950)
"It is my firm belief that the last seven decades of the twentieth century will be characterized in history as the dark ages of theoretical physics. ... The quantum world is a world of waves, not particles."
(Carver Mead, Professor Emeritus at Caltech. Received $500,000 Lemelson-MIT Prize in 1999)

Just want to congratulate you on your excellent site and sight  . The concepts I found here answered some questions I'd been wondering about for years. Thanks for pulling it all together.
I'm sure you've already seen them, but just in case (Because you say you need some better diagrams), This site has some excellent wave interference animated examples - http://www.glafreniere.com/matter.htm
Keep up the GOOD work.

Mark I went to that site and I immediately saw an image.
Now we know the significance of the vesica piscis which in Latin means 'fish bladder'.
Namaste

Raphael, I don't know where you found that term, but check the full site.
It has some very interesting examples of wave interference patterns.
Peace - Mark |

Hi Mark,
Thanks for adding link and nice comments.
I know Gab, and have a page on our spaceandmotion site on his work and wave diagrams.
Unfortunately, he prefers to work alone, and I think that some of his foundations are not quite correct.
But all in all it is an important website, a good foundation from which to build better wave diagrams that explain more things (we have several people working on this).
Cheers,
Geoff |
