"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)

| I will lurk. My math skills are such that I will be at a loss. To Feynman I aspire, but alas, I grasp only the rudimentaries. I study philosophically. I do own several bongos, however. I think my girls will have a leg up. |

| My math skills are lacking also. So now I know I am not alone. |

Mathematics Vs Metaphysics
One of the nice aspects of the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) is that you do not need maths to understand / visualise it.
The maths is more important to physicists to confirm exact logic of WSM - some of this work has been done (mainly Milo Wolff) but there is still a lot to do. So hopefully over time we will get some mathematicians here to help.
Regards,
Geoff |
