wcelliott,
More than likely protons and neutrons are made up of geometrically stable negatrons and positrons. So the anti-matter is locked up with the matter.

What is an unsupportable statement? "More than likely" is a speculative statement. If I said they are made up of that would be one thing but that was not said. And let me remind you:"Post here your ideas and thoughts, which might look weird at the moment. Who knows how it's going to be 100 years from now!" Looking weird supports itself without the need for proof. Its speculation!
If I posted in a different section than it would be valid to give me a warning.
Did you give a warning to those that claimed acceleration caused dilation? That is not only unsupported it was wrong.
I have been given abusive language and even threatened to be found and hurt. That to me should be subject to a warning. Science should be above that mentality.
Ultimate power corrupts ultimately. If you will not remove my warnings I would like to address my "complains" to the "Complaints" Clerk of Sainsbury's in Leeds. But I would like to give you a chance to rectify the situation.
I think the guidence you quoted above assumes we would not have had a nuclear war in the next 100 years, which would have wiped out existing knowledge, so that we would have to start again by rubbing two sticks together.
Having said that, rpenner seems knowledgable, so rather than take offense, accept it as an opportunity to learn. However, I will say that I have never belonged to a forum where being factually wrong gets one temporarily banned. I do find it comical although a bit immature. Perhaps rpenner thinks of himself as eveyone teacher irrespective of wether they signed up for his class.

I edited the above post. You have a point 4Dguy, the site forum does not require qualifications to post. It's either require qualifications, or trout, rpenner, AN, etc, can forever weed the garden. lol
Any site like this will always be about one person correcting another person, at various levels. I enjoy when trout, rpenner, AN, destroy the non-sense posters both because it's pure comedy, and I learn from those guys. Stopping the conversation dead in it's tracks is pointless IMO given the nature of the forum to begin with.

What about all the people who say things that contradict demonstrable reality.
I keep mentioning the GPS because it is real and it works. And it has used relativity theory in it's construction and operation.
For example any theory that says that light travels instantly would also say that the GPS does not work. But it does work so any theory saying that light is instaneous must be wrong.
buttershug,
I mentioned that with the acceleration causing dilation being wrong. Even though it can be demonstrated (by trout) they did not receive a warning. I gave a speculation that can not be proven or disproved and received a warning.

Exactly!
Correct again. Light has a finite speed. I do not think anyone would argue that point. Even if they did it is not worthy of a warning. I have made many mistakes in my lifetime and learned from them. Mistakes are a part of the learning process. It may sound funny but probably the more mistakes you make the more knowledge you have to learn from those mistakes.
Everyone who mentions the big bang should get a warning if the criteria is "unsupported and unsupportable statements". Indirect evidence can be used to support just about anything. Expansion could be like a spring and not have been created by a collapsed nothing.

Here is a source that shows fullerites can cut diamonds.
Fullerite (solid state)
The C60 fullerene in crystalline form
Fullerites are the solid-state manifestation of fullerenes and related compounds and materials.
Polymerized single-walled nanotubes (P-SWNT) are a class of fullerites and are comparable to diamond in terms of hardness. However, due to the way that nanotubes intertwine, P-SWNTs do not have the corresponding crystal lattice that makes it possible to cut diamonds neatly. This same structure results in a less brittle material, as any impact that the structure sustains is spread out throughout the material. Because nanotubes are still very expensive to produce in useful quantities, uses for a material lighter and stronger than steel will have to wait until nanotube production becomes more economically viable.[citation needed]
[edit] Ultrahard fullerite, Buckyball
Main article: Aggregated diamond nanorod
"Ultrahard fullerite" is a coined term frequently used to describe material produced by high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) processing of fullerite. Such treatment converts fullerite into a nanocrystalline form of diamond which exhibits remarkable mechanical properties
While the excitement was exaggerated the material has possibilities not imagined yet. While there is allot of talk about the possibilities of an elevator into space the technical problems have not been worked out.
An elevator to the moon sounds weird but who knows how its going to be in 100 years. Can the moderator say there will not be an elevator to the moon 100 years from n ow?
It could be an elevator from a space station to the moon in 100 years. Did you add from the Earth to the moon? That was not said.

I doubt most of you have any idea how frustrating it is to try to keep to the middle road in administering or moderating a forum. Especially this place, where it seems to be entirely acceptable to gush utter nonsense and call it a 'New Theory'.
I am guilty of too sharp a tongue here sometimes, and some of you know that I will not put up with it at my joint, unless it is mine...
My thanks to rpenner and his good humor!

Latrosicarius,
It wasn't expressed as an opinion when I was called 4dumbass for saying acceleration was not the cause of dilation. It is known that acceleration is not the cause of dilation. Those that said acceleration causes dilation did not get a warning for their mistake. I was threatened with bodily harm for sticking to my belief that acceleration did not cause dilation. Now "more than likely" is my take on speculation that protons consist of negatrons and positrons. Others were out and out wrong with the dilation and threats. They did not get a warning with their acceleration causing dilation appearing as main stream by calling me 4dumbass.
The big bang is just as unprovable, using indirect observations. I could say electrons of opposite spin is the only thing I know to cause annihilation. When we destroy a proton the contents are annihilated. Could it be that the proton is composed of electrons of opposite spins in a stable rotation path. Indirect evidence can suggest allot of things that may or may not be true.
I have been singled out for warnings by an abuse of power. Others have been blatantly wrong and not given a warning. They have threatened me with bodily harm and not received a warning. An independent evaluation will will bare witness to the facts.
There is no consistency in the warnings! They are given by emotion and not by rules! Is this what you are trying to defend?
There is no way more than likely is more than speculation. And we are in the section for suggesting ideas beyond current knowledge. I was given a warning for following the vision statement and I want it removed. The mod who gave me the warning needs to explain his self because I did nothing here to deserve the warning.

Granouille,
Lets see should I be excused because I am stupid or dumb? Its an interesting limitation of choices you give me.
I would imagine anyone who walks a different path could appear ignorant. A different path changes many currently held beliefs. Something as simple as space time being nothing or something (energy). I believe dilation is a dilation of "c" (energy). Space time dilation can be viewed as a magnifying or lensing effect used by astronomers. This is not main stream and appears to be ignorant ramblings to those trained in main streams beliefs. Does this make me ignorant or just appear ignorant? Ignorance can only be judged by truth. People have their own version of the truth. Does your version of the truth make me ignorant?
By the way did you see the reference to the amygdala determining the sexual orientation that I recently found. We had a discussion about it quite a while ago before I found a reference. And before you had your change.

It's called Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, and New Theories.
Not New Theories.
If it was just called New Theories you might almost have a point.
Either way, posting 'new ideas' without supporting evidence is just stupid.
An Idea without support is speculation, and falls into the same category as Russell's Teapot, and many creationist ideas.
You want to be taken seriously? Post reviewed evidence to support your ideas.
The example you posted above doesn't actually support anything you've said, because no amount of posthoc justification will change that.
So somebody published a Material Science paper that a Teaching Physicist was unaware of. Big deal.
Besides which, mechanical strength, and hardness are not the same property.

It's a pretty simple standard, really.
And that is, if some average Joe looking for answers came across a thread, could he tell if a post was "authoritative" or "personal speculation". Quite a few of the so-called "crank" posters are very adept at making their posts sound "mainstream". It is this sort of misrepresentation that needs to be nipped in the bud. Because it's unfair and arrogant to send "Joe" off with your own, unproven guesswork rather than the best efforts of the scientific community.
So, properly labeled, I imagine most anything could be posted as long as there was a shred of logic to it. Just say, "this is my idea, only, and it's not what most professionals believe".
Otherwise, the forum simply turns into a crank-fest. Oh, wait. It sort of has already.

the big bang is based on speculation of indirect observation. Black holes also indirect observation of how the stars react. If you are going to give warnings it would be polite to spell them out before you give them.
Is threatening me with bodily harm and calling me 4dumbass acceptable to you? While" more than likely" is unacceptable? To me it is more than likely, do you know any other reason for particle annihilation?
I would like that warning removed or please direct me to the "complains" department. I am sure your disregard for terroristic threats without a warning and "more than likely" statement receives a warning will not be seen in a favorable light.

I just returned from a long trip and I'm quite grumpy so I will state my point succinctly.
1. I don't think Rpenner moderates enough. It's a science forum ... not a science fiction forum. If you want to posit speculative theories, it's possible to do so in a scientific way... but 4Dguy and the Hordes of Crankiness never do that.
2. When was the last time 4Dguy posted anything useful?
3. If I was banned by Rpenner, I would apologize and move on. It's not my house, therefore it's not my rules.
Enough QQ already.

In my opinion the moderator prevents the rules from being violated. He is the one to scold, temporary ban or permanently ban a person based on bad behavior, language , flaming and rudeness to others. Or if you act in a threatening manor. In short the moderators job is to keep politeness and good hearted debate going. Insults and cruelty to others is reason for banning. Forms should be kept civil. This is what I believe based on the fact that I am a member of many forms. I noticed from experience that forms are ruined when people act mean to one another and play school yard bully. If a moderator punishes you for bad behavior than it is up to you to stop being mean or rude to others. Apologize and move on. If falsely accused than you have to address the moderator and argue your case on open form so it can be proven, sort of like open court. Usually the biggest problems on boards is under moderation. Fights then get nasty because people observe that they can get away with it.
Scientific inaccuracy is not reason for banning. You can say the world if flat but be ready for any scientist to debate you and debunk your claim. Disagreement is ok, just be polite. If you claim to have a new theory than expect it to be debated. As long as the person who debates you obeys the proper rules of debate. All ideas are welcome to be brought forth in science but the math must be free of anomalies to be considered valid theory. It is to be tested with rigor and then lab proven that is the self correcting tools of science. There is no room for censorship in science. It may work in religion and politics but not science. Below Sagan tells the story of Velacoski who made a theory about how we got Venus. His ideas are most certainly wrong and Sagan explains why. Here Sagan gives an example of scientific debate. And shows how to properly prove someone wrong but all theories are allowed to be presented.

Last but certainly not least is, in my opinion I have always been treated with respect by rpenner. This does not imply that we agree on all subjects but he has always behaved as a polite person to me. Before you launch missiles at rpenner maybe you can talk it out. If you truly did no offense I am sure things can be fixed.

Scientific debate only happens when people all play by the rules. Typically, our problem posters either don't respect the evidence, don't respect the need to distill and develop their ideas into a form which can be used by others or don't respect the need to work with the community.
So we have all seen the forum hurt when the ideal breaks down.
So when the OP goes and in bold face asserts rhetorically that the moderator cannot weigh in against the idea of an Elevator to the Moon, the OP is at least as wrong as when the OP claims that
http://www.physforum.com/index.php?showtop...ndpost&p=427428
More than likely is the language of an assertion of fact. It asserts the the reliable probability of a certain statement being true is greater than 50%. And while it may be that the OP just intended to convey an opinion, that is not was was written in a sterile and pontificating manner.
Since we share but one universe and they fact is that the electron and positron content of nucleons is transitory and vanishingly small, the base statement is false, and the assertion of liklihood is also false. That is of course using standard empirical probability theory where one runs some tests and build up a picture of the universe from the evidence. We have bounced so many protons until they broke than we have zero empirical evidence for electrons and positrons making up their bulk. We also have strong theoretical reasons -- indeed the definition of the electron as a colorless, spin-1/2 lepton of charge -1 and mass of about 0.5 MeV forbids electrons from co-habitating with the actual constituents of protons -- to believe no model of the proton requires the bulk to be electrons and positrons.
Now if one wants to assert Walter L. Wagner's forceful quasi-Bayesian argument from ignorance, where the probability of any statement whatsoever is evaluated as 50% likely to be true when the person making the claim is wholely ignorant of the fact of the matter and untutored as to any method which might allow them to to place any bounds on the probability, then you still have failed to meet the "more than likely" standard as read by everyone else.
Placing such a statement in public does the public a disservice. Therefore I acted.
So we have all seen the forum hurt when the ideal breaks down.

rpenner,
But what if I am correct and you are wrong? It would have been polite to send me a e-mail and let me know your rules of this thread were changing ahead of time. Math is not the proof of anything. If a theory does not follow math it is wrong but it does not prove you are correct. I ignored many telling me that red shift changes in a gravity field. Its the dilation that is changing not the wave length of the wave. The math is the same for both situations. Are you the censer to which is correct. If you are tell me which is correct.
It is my belief that the proton and neutron are made up of positrons and negatrons. Do you know of another system that annihilates mass? When the proton is destroyed what is left? Energy in the form of space time perturbed. How do you relate the energy put in and taken out. How do you separate the two.
I come from a background of a matrix (space time) as being something physical. "c" as being something physical. I ignore the non physical ideologies of main stream because I believe that to be wrong!!! Its protected with the reverence of a religion in my belief.

Agree - there is no room for censorship in science - and I would be happy to hear convincing arguments that the very content of a post need to be moderated - for the sake of what - for the benefit of whom - I just ask !
"If you truly did no offense I am sure things can be fixed.

I am not too sure about that. It is up to the moderator solely, to judge whether he finds something to be offensive or not - and the moderator has the privilege to make ANY decision he wishes, and without making ANY qualification - and as I see it, he so does.
The following is my own experience from May this year.
After being banned for a shorter period solely based on this rpenner-invented "May Day Event" and constructed so as to look like a democratic process - I received a second ban in response to my first post after the initial ban:
(bukh): "It is debatable whether science shall be defined so narrow that it is not allowed to discuss issues that cannot be measured in a physical sense and so narrow that it is not allowed to discus issues that is not part of mainstream."
(Alex G): "If it can't be measured in a physical sense, it isn't physics. If what you speculate on has no physical ramifications, it isn't science."
(bukh): "What is meant by "physical ramifications" Are you indicating that the only valid science is Physics ?
[Moderator: Suspended 7 days for specious comments.]
- "SPECIOUS COMMENTS" ! - a fully valid reason for the mod to ban - ?
This ban was executed within less than 20 minutes after my reappearance in the Forum - talk about being watched -
I have tried to get in an open debate with our mod, but he makes himself invisible - and he is in his good right to do so - a mod is raised above everything -
What comes with ultimate power?

trout,
If you subject everything to scientific method the big bang is a belief. Conclusions based on indirect observation remain an unknown. The big bang has been elevated to fact by main stream. Something from nothing should be a source of ridicule from the scientific community. All of you believe it without a mechanism to show how nothing became mass. The CMB is like (but not exactly) saying the earth receives the same amount of light every day so anywhere in the universe it would receive the same amount of light. We are only in one position and not really able to say what the CMB would be outside of a Galaxy. Every direction is subject to the same dilation of position. Different positions might receive a different CMB. If the Big bang was not in science we would be looking for other reasons for the CMB. But the Big bang stopped scientific investigation. What other speculation might have stopped scientific investigation? Its the big bang that has the religious overtones not science.

In the past a negatron and positron were used to distinguish the spin orientation of the electron, they are both electrons. Since you never came across this it would mean nothing to you. It has been lost over the years.

I understand main stream but you do not understand me. My perspective is with space time being "c" and all energy being derived from "c". With that perspective you come to many different conclusions than main stream. But this is just my take on the universe not main stream as you have said. There has been no test to prove that space time or "c" is not the energy that drives electrons. The MMX did not negate this scenario. What drives the electrons in your mind?

Even if it was used in the past, it's out-of-date now. Get with the times.
c is a velocity measurement of light, i.e. a number. You can't "derive" energy from that. You excel at pseudo-science, but you fail at actual science.

4D: It is a false argument to say "because A cannot be conclusively proved, my alternative B should be held in equal weight."
In the case of BB, there is actual evidence that supports BB --- regardless if that evidence is not "conclusive beyond doubt". Your alternative seems to have no evidence at all. A similar argument is made against Dawinian evolution: because no one was there to see it happen (thereby "conclusively" proving it), Creationism should be held as an equally plausible alternative. Note, however, that there is absolutely no evidence to back Creationism, while there is evidence to back evolution.
The moderator is attempting to filter self-indulgent wishful speculation from the conversation. Since no one ever labels their gushings as such this is a reasonable thing to do. He needs to do this to show that a "real scientific debate" is in fact not happening so that ordinary Joe's aren't mislead.

Utter nonsense. You make the same whining about the BB that some creationists say about evolution, saying "So how did life start in the first place?". The BB isn't about saying "The universe came from nothing", it's about the fact it was once very small and very hot and it must have developed in a particular way if such things as isotrope ratios and thermal equilibrium are to occur in the manner we see.
As for your "The CMB might be different elsewhere!" you need to give some motivation for that. What evidence do you have for the inhomogeneity of the universe? What reason might you have for people in Andromeda seeing the CMB at say 5K, rather than our 2.7K? Observations show the laws of physics in other galaxies are very very close to the laws we measure here, indistinguishable even. In any direction we look we see much the same. Galaxies and nebulae are thermal objects, if the CMB were much different there from what we see thermal properties of gas clouds would be difference. Yes, you can always make an argument for "Unless you've measured it directly it might be different!" but there is a point at which you have to become irrational. I could claim that the centre of the Earth is made of chocolate, but special chocolate whereby it transmits earthquake shock waves in precisely the way you'd expect of a giant ball of Nickel and Iron. Is it therefore a bordering on religious belief that the Earth isn't made of chocolate or would a touch of thought about what else we know about phenomena related to it be a wise idea?
And throwing around things like "Every direction is subject to the same dilation of position" or "It is my belief that the proton and neutron are made up of positrons and negatrons. " is easy if you refuse to do any experiments or provide any testable model.
For instance, you provide no model for your 'dilation of position' so you could have just as well said "Every position gets the same sprinkling of fairy dust and so the CMB is the same". Vacuous crap encased in buzzwords is still vacuous crap. And if you bothered to look at experiments involving deep inelastic scattering you'd know there are 3 point charges inside baryons, whose charges are factions of the electron or positron charge, so they cannot be electrons or positrons. Further more we can see electrons and positrons 'bare', its easy to rip an electron from an atom because the electromagnetic binding energy is tiny compared to the electron rest mass. Bound states of electrons and positrons (positronium) are known to be very very unstable too. The objects inside baryons can't be riped out without putting in so much eenergy you make more of them, in other words the energy put in to break the quark bonds is enough to make more quarks. As a result, whatever the objects in a baryon are they are not seen 'bare'. Electrons and positrons are.
Of course if you had a quantitative model which we could compare to experimental data then we could see if you're anything close to talking sense. But you don't have one, do you?
Utter nonsense. You make the same whining about the BB that some creationists say about evolution, saying "So how did life start in the first place?". The BB isn't about saying "The universe came from nothing", it's about the fact it was once very small and very hot and it must have developed in a particular way if such things as isotrope ratios and thermal equilibrium are to occur in the manner we see.
As for your "The CMB might be different elsewhere!" you need to give some motivation for that. What evidence do you have for the inhomogeneity of the universe? What reason might you have for people in Andromeda seeing the CMB at say 5K, rather than our 2.7K? Observations show the laws of physics in other galaxies are very very close to the laws we measure here, indistinguishable even. In any direction we look we see much the same. Galaxies and nebulae are thermal objects, if the CMB were much different there from what we see thermal properties of gas clouds would be difference. Yes, you can always make an argument for "Unless you've measured it directly it might be different!" but there is a point at which you have to become irrational. I could claim that the centre of the Earth is made of chocolate, but special chocolate whereby it transmits earthquake shock waves in precisely the way you'd expect of a giant ball of Nickel and Iron. Is it therefore a bordering on religious belief that the Earth isn't made of chocolate or would a touch of thought about what else we know about phenomena related to it be a wise idea?
And throwing around things like "Every direction is subject to the same dilation of position" or "It is my belief that the proton and neutron are made up of positrons and negatrons. " is easy if you refuse to do any experiments or provide any testable model.
For instance, you provide no model for your 'dilation of position' so you could have just as well said "Every position gets the same sprinkling of fairy dust and so the CMB is the same". Vacuous crap encased in buzzwords is still vacuous crap. And if you bothered to look at experiments involving deep inelastic scattering you'd know there are 3 point charges inside baryons, whose charges are factions of the electron or positron charge, so they cannot be electrons or positrons. Further more we can see electrons and positrons 'bare', its easy to rip an electron from an atom because the electromagnetic binding energy is tiny compared to the electron rest mass. Bound states of electrons and positrons (positronium) are known to be very very unstable too. The objects inside baryons can't be riped out without putting in so much eenergy you make more of them, in other words the energy put in to break the quark bonds is enough to make more quarks.

AN,
Once you told me that three or four of the quarks were made of particles and anti-particles if I remember correctly.
I brought up that the CMB could be different in a different Gamma. How would we know with only one sampling region in the Universe. It could also be the size of the galaxy that determines the CMB. Between galaxies could be very different. My Opinion of course.

The amount of suns and reactions going on in the suns.
The laws are the same I have no doubt. The values unless the galaxy is the same might be different. Its not a forgone conclusion that they would be, my opinion.

In any direction we look we see much the same
Why? What do the measurements mean. Surly not that we came from a big bang as the only possible reason, my opinion.
The difference between my view and your view is fundamental energy and where it resides. You see it in the electron and I see it in space (my opinion). Why are the electron and the photon confounded in every frame? Mechanical clock, atomic clock and the photon appear to be in the same ratio in every frame? How can that be without something controlling their ratio?
Without that I would agree with main stream. Ignoring a control mechanism (energy of space time) (my opinion) does all of us a disservice. Energy would have to rotate (fundamental motion) at the speed of light (my opinion). We could only detect it indirectly as light and other forms of EM.
The connection between the electron and the photon being controlled by energy (time @"c") is much stronger than the CMB and the big bang (my opinion).

So, you've taken your own experience and failure to convince actual scientists that your "theories" are valid, and you have chosen to blame science for being too rigid instead of looking at yourself and trying to understand why you failed to convince anyone. Maybe you just don't understand the rigor that is required to prove your theory? Maybe you should submit your work to a scientific journal and see how they react?
The flaw is not with science, it is with you.

Raphie Frank,
The vision statement asks for ideas and thoughts not theories that can be prov-en now! We might have the technical ability to test these things in the future but not know. These are just ideas and thoughts. Saying its my opinion is redundant for ideas and thoughts!
To be worried that your thoughts might get out in the open is censorship. It would be nice to be able to claim it not to be main stream. Maybe this section could be tagged differently instead of physorg only main stream it could be labeled physorg crank forum. This way no one will take new ideas seriously. We all know there are no new ideas, everything has been worked out that can be worked out.
A real scientist discovers his own concepts from knowledge gained. A real follower follows anything main stream tells them.
A follower gives negs and warnings a real scientist weighs possible concepts from observation and is tolerant of others views.
The real cranks are the ones that give personal attacks and think that is proof that you your concepts are wrong.
There are two parts to physics, the mechanical workings and the relative workings. The relative workings have been worked out for the most part with relativity. Relativity based on postulates has been prov-en over and over again. There is very little question relativity and the mathematics of relativity work.
That leaves us with the mechanical that has fallen way behind.
How can a photon maintain the same speed?
Why is the electron confounded with the photon as a ratio in every frame?
If wave lengths do not change why does position detect wave lengths differently?
Those with math talent or no talent are destructive to those with more conceptual talents. Einstein had both talents so his math side did not have to call his conceptual side stupid. By the way this is just my opinion.

Hey, RF -- I heard of this insane person who compares every antagonist of every movie seen with a particular object of scorn.

These two ideals are in conflict. Scaring the public with unsubstantiated doomsday talk does hurt the advancement of science. The general public is generally afraid of the unknown and the ability of science but without science we could not support civilization as we know it today nor could the earth support all the people on the earth.
What you referenced is bad for everyone. There is not enough dilation in our position to create a black hole nor sustain it (more than likely, my opinion,).
Here is a question for you which is fact based since you are the fact arbitrator? Does the wavelength of light change in a gravity well or does the dilation of position create the wavelength shift? Both would use the same mathematical formula.

I do not think that it is possible to be fact-based, when airing new ideas about our physical world - about spacetime.
When it comes to the "mechanical part" - to the part where one like to get a picture/idea/metaphor about how spacetime works - how to explain the Fletcher's paradox - how to explain the existence smoothness problem - how to define and construct "an object" out from dimensionless points - how to get a grip on the paradox that physical world show us motion and at the same time is being exactly controlled - how forces can be thought being propagated in free void - how physical world can be born out of a singularity - about what is the most fundamental form of energy and from where it originates - what a measurement is about - who is the observer and how is the interference between observer and observed - the questions are just piling up - how in G--'s sake can ideas related to such questions be fact based.
It is no sin to ask questions - but it may be embarrassing to get questions that cannot be answered - but I trust that a Forum like this is the right place also for such discussions.
I think that You owe us a better explanation for what you mean by "fact-based" ? and in particular You owe us a good definition about what science is and how science shall be defined according to Your ideas.
And it is not meant as a specious comment - is is meant as a serious question -

rpenner,
Sorry I am in and out today.
Either the wave length is staying the same or the wave length changes. In a gravity well Trout claims the wavelength of light changes down and up a gravity well. I was saying the wavelength does not change. The detection energy of each dilation position is different. Light created in a higher dilation will be detected as red shifted in a lower dilation position. The light did not change frequency. The detector is set in a higher dilation and reads the wavelength created in a lower dilation as blue shifted.
In his concept the wavelength changes, in my concept the dilation, where it is read changes, and the wavelength stays the same.
There is no math conflict only a concept conflict. Which mechanism is correct? Which is fact based?

If you say the latter then you should provide evidence. The former requires no justification. The latter adheres to the scientific method. The former is rhetoric.

4Dguy,
Trout is correct in that the wavelength changes. The dilation you are referring to corrects the speed at which we observe the light. As a result there is a frequency change and we see light as blue shifted coming into a gravity field and red shifted going out of a gravity field.
When we observe refraction in other wave types such as water waves or sound the wavelength and the wave speed are both changed so that there is no change in frequency.
When a wave slows down its wavelength shortens because the peaks begin to bunch together and when wave speed increases the peaks begin to spread apart. There is only one possible way to change wavelength and that is by changing wave speed. When considering EM in a gravity field time dilation makes it appear the velocity has remained constant allowing for the frequency change.

Of course but that still does not answer the question, does the wavelength change or does the space time energy level where light is detected create the effect because of the energy difference? What is the fact and what is fiction?
Since we are only discussing light lets also ignore massive bodies.
Lets try and focus on the question for a fact based answer. We know wave lengths are measured to be different in a gravity well. Are the wavelengths of the light changing or is the position with a different energy level create the difference when detected with the original light wavelength unchanged? I would like the factual answer.
You also very falsely compare today's scientific community with the medieval church.
right - we are not putting people on the fire
Again, it always goes back to the mistaken belief that one's idle speculations have an equal chance of being right as ideas backed by evidence.
Quote rpenner: As for me, all I want is or more people to be useful and fact-based. And when it comes to them advocating their idea about science, I demand it.
lets call a spade a spade -
It is not about whether mainstream in most cases show to be more "right" than wild speculations - it is about whether science - what ever that is - always must be backed up by facts - and whether it should be allowed to make speculations in this Forum. And I think that we need a definition of what science is in the context of this Forum, we need to know what is valid and acceptable for this Forum - and our mod is the right person to put such guidelines forward.
And Yes - I was also puzzled by the comment of Rob - and I am impatiently waiting for his definition on a "real scientist" !

4Dguy,
Thats just it, time dilation makes it appear as though the speed of light remains constant for any observer at any position in the gravitational field.
Frequency = wave speed/wave length
The only way to change the frequency of a wave (red or blue shift) is to change the wave speed or the wave length. Because the perceived speed of light remains constant the frequency change occurs due to the change in the wave length.
Velocity = distance/time
The speed of light has to change in order for it to be measured at a constant velocity anywhere in a gravitational field. If it truly remained unchanged then our own time dilation would cause us to measure the speed of light with differing velocities depending on our position in the gravitational field. The exact same thing (refraction) that causes a change in the speed of light causes time dilation. Everything is refracting in the gravitational field not just the light.

a ) Define "failure."
b ) My own "failure" to get "real" scientists to take "seriously" already (at least in part) empirically proven "theories" [such as that the same mathematics that applies to Bose Einstein Condensates applies also to Social Networks] represents not a failure on my part, but a failure on theirs...
Which reminds me of a conversation I had with my father a couple years back. "But, Stephen [my first name]," he said, "many, many people knew the earth was round back in the day of Galileo."
As is typicially the case (because my father is a quite smart man), he was right.
But how many others knew that the others also knew, not now, but THEN, in an environment where to publicly state such to be the case might get one burned at the stake (or condemned to death in whatever manner was the "fashion" of the times)?
Hindsight is 20/20 FB.

FB, This one sentence alone is so absolutely silly as for me to find it difficult to take you seriously...
a ) Define "failure."
b ) My own "failure" to get "real" scientists to take "seriously" already (at least in part) empirically proven "theories" [such as that the same mathematics that applies to Bose Einstein Condensates applies also to Social Networks] represents not a failure on my part, but a failure on theirs...
Which reminds me of a conversation I had with my father a couple years back. "But, Stephen [my first name]," he said, "many, many people knew the earth was round back in the day of Galileo."
As is typicially the case (because my father is a quite smart man), he was right.
But how many others knew that the others also knew, not now, but THEN, in an environment where to publicly state such to be the case might get one burned at the stake (or condemned to death in whatever manner was the "fashion" of the times)?
Hindsight is 20/20 FB. Yes, many people, especially those who were educated, quite possibly, and even quite likely, "knew" the earth to be round at that point in time, but they were a decidedly "hidden" population; hidden not from history, but, at least in part, consequence of the social pressures of the day, from one another.

Seriously... give it up. You went from whining to whipping out your theories to whining and back to your theories. You got banned ... no one takes you seriously.. you are a crackpot.. get over it.

Back to your basic hubris I see.
I can't tell you how ridiculous a statement that was. You are actually surprised that real scientists weren't interested in your theories linking Condensates to Social Networks? Really? ..... Really?
You also very falsely compare today's scientific community with the medieval church. That's like claiming that Rpenner is a religious fanatic because he doesn't believe in your theories... it's simply ridiculous.

Ralphie: The propensity of those who gain power to try to control thought has nothing to do with "what people believed". Witness those power mongers never lasted. Then, too, "common sense" isn't a reliable indication of what humanity as a whole has learned. After all, it's a fact that half the people are, by definition, below average in intelligence!
Again, it always goes back to the mistaken belief that one's idle speculations have an equal chance of being right as ideas backed by evidence.

Are you kidding me, Rob? Read "Linked" by Albert Laszlo Barabasi. It is not my theory, but an empirical fact established by real science and REAL scientists at the University of Notre Dame.

Quote rpenner: As for me, all I want is or more people to be useful and fact-based. And when it comes to them advocating their idea about science, I demand it.
lets call a spade a spade -
It is not about whether mainstream in most cases show to be more "right" than wild speculations - it is about whether science - what ever that is - always must be backed up by facts - and whether it should be allowed to make speculations in this Forum. And I think that we need a definition of what science is in the context of this Forum, we need to know what is valid and acceptable for this Forum - and our mod is the right person to put such guidelines forward.
And Yes - I was also puzzled by the comment of Rob - and I am impatiently waiting for his definition on a "real scientist" !
drwahl6913,
When space is dilated so is mass, the question becomes is it the cycle of the electron that increases or does the electron expand. Either way the cell in a spectrometer would increase its distance and go out of calibration from one frame to another or in different parts of a gravity field. This is not my theory I believe it is a natural fact of relativity. If the cell in the detector increases in distance it would read light as blue shifted from a position where the cell was smaller and less dilated. This would mean that the light did not change frequency the detector changed its frequency. Frequency = wave speed/wave length.
Here Read gravitational red shift vs. gravitational time dilation.
What is time dilation if its not an increase in the distance electrons have to travel? Which by the way exactly equals the extra distance light has to travel in every frame more dilated. Oh yea, my take not phys-org necessarily until rpenner comes back with the facts.

4Dguy,
Please excuse me if I am wrong in interpreting your idea's on red and blue shifting.
It sounds to me like you are saying that the electron orbital expands or contracts relative to its position in a gravitational field. This expansion or contraction of the electron orbital will thus cause light to have different frequencies.
If this is an accurate description of your idea then it can not be correct.
All atoms have allowed electron orbital. In the ground state electrons are in their lowest orbitals. The absorption of particular frequencies of EM will cause the electrons to obtain higher orbitals (this is not dilation). No red or blue shifting of EM occurs during this process. Green light is still green to an atom whether its in an excited state or in its ground state. But yet the electron orbitals will look just like you're describing in your idea's. This process can not change the frequency of EM.

If the electron orbital increases by 10% and the proton increases by 10% the ratio remains the same. The ground state has the same ratio. But the electrons 10% is much more volume than the proton 10%. What do you think the different meter stick is about in different frames? Where does the increased distance come from if not the dilation of the atoms?

Scientific debate only happens when people all play by the rules. Typically, our problem posters either don't respect the evidence, don't respect the need to distill and develop their ideas into a form which can be used by others or don't respect the need to work with the community.
So we have all seen the forum hurt when the ideal breaks down.

Does the wavelength of light change in a gravity well or does the dilation of position create the wavelength shift? Both would use the same mathematical formula.
As you see, your question is about gravity, and wavelength, and possible explanation using a rescaling of rulers. If the rescaling of rulers explanation holds, then it must hold for particles other than light.

QUOTE (rpenner+Sep 20 2009, 02:47 AM)
The (uncited) mathematical formula of wavelength change applies only to massless particles, and ignores the large body of work where massive bodies have both momentum-dependent wavelength and are influenced by gravity.
Here I show that the reason for your confusion is that you ignore the bulk of the evidence that you have with respect to the behavior of gravity. By working with light you conflate time and distance in ways that cannot be clarified by working only with a single null geodesic. Indeed, you ignore that wavelength is defined only in a particular frame tied to a time-like world-line.
My mistake then... apparently it's a real theory. You have my apologies for the mistake.
I am not convinced that it's applicable in that fashion, it strikes me as more of a coincidence than design, but that is another matter altogether and hardly one that is within my level of expertise.
No.. actually he was appointed to this position... one that is badly needed and which requires someone who can...
1. Actually tell facts from fiction... a difficult task at best in an open forum environment.
2. Is able to take the time and trouble to weed out the useful and innovative ideas from the crackpot and useless spam that is so prevalent.
This is hardly an easy job and requires a most adept and well informed person. Rpenner so far has done a sterling job, balancing fairness and information.
My only complaint is that he does not do so more.
As an aside...
Seriously... if it was myself as the moderator, a whole bunch of people would be perma-banned that are not. So be happy it's Rpenner and not myself.
Personally I am not big on the crap that has been masquerading as science lately. Not everyone deserves an opinion (hehe... that would be my opinion only of course). I strongly believe that you have to work to earn one... and most people are too lazy to bother.
If I wanted to come up with a brand new and revolutionary theory in physics, it would behoove me to learn absolutely everything that is known or thought to be known at the current time. This would involve me getting an advanced degree in physics or it's autodidactic equivalent. Then I can start coming up with new theories. Not before.

Ignoring evidence is what you are doing -- a calculated, obstinate blindness. You then attempt to change the question, which is a violation of your own stated desire.

You missed the entire point. I was not looking for an explanation just a focus on the fact. You elevated yourself to the moderator of facts with warning abilities. I have been warned twice without my sense of justification being alarmed. I just wanted your interpretation of the fact so I am not warned again. Does light change wavelength in a gravity well or does the detector in a different yard stick read the red and blue shift changed because its in a different energy dilation position.
I would never desire observations be ignored. That invalidates conclusions!

I considered your idea all day, please forgive me for this summation but I would like to know if I understand your position correctly. If you could construct a measuring stick 1,000,000,000 meters long then point the zero end towards the center of a strong gravitational field, using calipers made of a special material that would remain unaffected by the gravitational field (which of course doesn't exist but we were able to invent it for this purpose) we would measure the millimeter to be larger at the zero end and smaller at the other end of the stick.
Light would remain completely unaffected by the gravitational field, we could shine red light down the measuring stick and observers along the measuring stick would perceive it to blue shift. We could shine blue light up the measuring stick and those same observers would perceive it to red shift.
Interesting idea but how do you explain red a blue shifting for a moving object? How do you explain the curvature of light in a gravitational field?

This is not an unknown phenomenon. The dilation increases the closer you get to the center of a planet. In fact the dilation follows the inverse square exactly like gravity. It is my belief that falling into the more dilated space is gravity's attraction.

Yes, that is the observation prov-en by the Pound-Rubka experiment Using sound waves to adjust the energy level in the more dilated space to absorb the photon (I believe). Sorry about the I believe, I like physorg and most of the other interesting people. I do not want to be banned again.
In the front of a moving object (going fast enough to detect a shift) you are squeezing space time or contracting space. So things are blue shifted coming towards you. In the back of a moving object you are dilating space so light from an object moving away from you appears and is created red shifted. (my belief). If you had a mirror to deflect the front and the back light towards you from a side way object the back would be red shifted and the front would be blue shifted. (I believe).
An interesting side note in a moving space ship, if light is moving perpendicular to the direction of travel it is traveling a C^2 path. A^2 + B^2 = C^2 but you only view the light in the ship traveling B^2. The atomic clock and the mechanical clock measure B^2 to be light speed. An outside observer sees C^2 distance to be light speed. The electron is dilated by the same amount or distance as A^2 traveled for the time B^2 went from the beginning to the end of its leg. (my belief). Light always travels at "c".

That is simple a photon wave hits a dilation and stays in the dilation curve until the dilation angle is the same as when it first hit the dilation. Then it continues what ever curve gravitation is still affecting it with. This is the lensing effect. (my belief). Dilation is like onion rings in a sphere with the largest dilation in the center and getting smaller as it moves out. My belief. But I have found references in the past to the gradient dilation of a sphere. I believe.
Between galaxies the dilation is the most contracted. I believe.

4Dguy,
I've never heard of this kind of dilation you are talking about. An accelerated frame is different from an inertial frame where length contraction is a factor.
So your saying that the dilated space can curve the path of a photon? Why wouldn't the space effect the photon the same as matter then, and also become dilated?

SR and GR are equivalent using dilation to slow the electron in mechanical clocks. Length contraction is not physical in the sense that a physical object shrinks. The contraction is due to the finite speed of light. Let me give you a visual picture. A space ship is coming towards you at 1/2 the relative speed of light. On each end is a mirror that can return a light signal. You shine a light to the space ship and it hits the front mirror and begins its return journey. By the time the light reaches the mirror in the back of the ship, the ship has moved forward 1/3 and the light 2/3 of the distance. So the returned light from the ship is contracted by 1/3. There are a few other issues involved such as dilation to change the exact contraction viewed but you can see that the finite speed of light contracts the view of the ship in this case by 1/3. Its only the view that is contracted and not the physical object. (My view) AlexG does not agree he thinks it is a physical contraction because math says so. He has no other cause for the contraction. (my belief)

So your saying that the dilated space can curve the path of a photon? Why wouldn't the space effect the photon the same as matter then, and also become dilated?
That is a matter of speculation. What is a photon? Is it mass less? Is it part of space time? If the photon did change with dilation than we would not see a wavelength shift. More or less dilated space is an automatic change in wavelength because it is created in the dilation. GR and SR being equivalent blue shift is towards the acceleration which is towards the center of the planet. If a space ship and had a mirror in the front and back that angled light to a relatively stationary observer and the light was turned on in the center of the ship, the reflected light from the front would be blue shifted and the back would be red shifted. The ratio of the shifts would remain the same but the amount of shift would be determined by your dilation vs the ships dilation. (my belief).

4Dguy,
In your model when considering an object in motion with a velocity that red and blue shifting will occur the front portion of every atoms electron orbital would need to be compressed while the back portion is expanded. These would certainly be some odd shaped atoms. How far reaching would the dilated area of space reach? Could it effect the compressed area of space in the atom directly behind. For instance if the O's below represent the atoms making up an object would there be a canceling effect for all the atoms in between the front and rear most atoms?
OOOOOO

Not true, if the space ship was approaching you light from both the front and rear would be blue shifted and if the space ship was traveling away from you light from both the front and rear would be red shifted.

In the front of a moving object (going fast enough to detect a shift) you are squeezing space time or contracting space. So things are blue shifted coming towards you. In the back of a moving object you are dilating space so light from an object moving away from you appears and is created red shifted.

Hell, yes, I can say it.
Is there a spot on the Earth where the Moon is perpetually at Zenith? No. Then you can't build an elevator to it.
Is there a spot on the Earth which a fixed distance from any point on the Moon? No. Then you can't tether the Moon with universal joints.
To build an elevator, first you must correct the eccentricity of the lunar orbit, and slow down the Earth's rotation to match the lunar orbit. You are talking kilojoules per kilogram, and complete disruption of the Earth's ecology. You are talking about hundreds of kilowatts per square meter if you start now.
Hm well there seems to be a leap of assumption that you can't have an elastic elevator "shaft" or guide beam or one that is winched to offset eccentricity, while the base slides or floats or hangs or is handed off all the way around the Earth's rotation. But I'm sure the argument isn't as important as just an example. I'd much rather have an elevator shaft hang or float around, be traded off or something, than stop the Earth's rotation just to get to the moon.
No position on any of this, just taking a peek at this topic.

They would not be odd shaped at all. Dilation just means expanded. Expanded just increases the wavelength of the photon produced in the expansion. (my belief).

If GR and SR equivalency holds as I suspect it should, it would be for the inverse square of the distance as a gradient. (my belief)

I used to think there was a dilation gradient through the ship from the front to the back. trout convinced me that inside the ship the dilation is uniform and the ship carries the momentum of light. In the opposite direction of motion I do not understand how an outside observer would see light traveling inside the ship at "c" in the observers frame, if the ship carries the lights momentum. Forward I can understand the A^2 + B^2 = C^2. (my belief)
[/QUOTE]Not true, if the space ship was approaching you light from both the front and rear would be blue shifted and if the space ship was traveling away from you light from both the front and rear would be red shifted.
[QUOTE]
First thing you are correct because I said the center of the ship where the dilation is supposed to be uniform. Second I meant to say the ship was traveling perpendicular to the observer. But now after you changed the position that I was thinking of, I find it interesting. It does not matter the direction of travel. Light produced in the front of the direction of motion will be more energetic (shorter wavelength compressed) and light produced in the back of the direction of travel will be less energetic (longer wavelength dilated). If the ship was coming towards the observer the light produced in front will be blue shifted. If you create light in the back and use a mirror to reflect the light towards you, it will be red shifted. Remember wavelength does not change from creation. The mirror just reflects what an observer would see if the ship was moving away (red shifted). (my belief).

4Dguy,
Your entire space ship can be thought of as a single source of light. Imagine a single light bulb moving through space with a great velocity. Light is shinning in all directions. Depending on your observational position you can see light blue shifted from the bulb if the bulb is moving towards you. Another observer will see light as red shifted if their position is such that the bulb is traveling away. And yet other observers perpendicular to the movement of the bulb will notice no shift at all.

drwahl6913,
Unfortunately its a little more complicated. Its the dilation where you read it that determines the shift. The center of the light should be the mid point of the dilation if it is just a light moving (average of the two shifts). And when the light is perpendicular to you light has momentum so you do not see the light from perpendicular. You will see the light from the backward side. The distance and speed of the light determines how far towards the back of the light you see. Create a triangle in your mind following the light. A^2 is straight towards you B^2 is the path of the light bulb. C^2 is the momentum of the light until it reaches you. C^2 being towards the back of the bulb. You are seeing light given off at A^2 + B^2 distance before perpendicular creates the right angle. So light rotates to the back of the bulb and that is the light that reaches you.(my belief).
If the universe is rotating this would be the reason we see everything red shifted with the more distance the object the more red shifted we see it towards the back. There would be no difference between expansion and rotation. We also have the issue that we are on the outskirts of our galaxy and most of the light is created in the center of a galaxy so we see gravitational red shift from every galaxy. (My belief)

The literature I have examined, Internet and Textbooks on hand, state that the S/NMPs switch such that the fissures that suggests our Earth is expanding due to the receiving of the hydrogen's plasma, the e- and proton+, for example, from Iceland to the Antarctica continental boundaries (please examine a globe of our planet, along the N/S fissures and note the E/W magnetic lines running N/S).
In short, our earth is expanding, the crust on top a plastic like membrane and the heated middle mantle to the Zirconium Silicon Oxide ZiSiO4, relatively thin lubricating and magnetic coating on the mostly iron middle core, too hot to sustain a magnetic field, the result of which causes that ZiSiO4 to switch the SMP and NMP.
Result, one each 125 million years the NIP gets mostly water, the SIP mostly protons, the deposition of the protoned continent recycles (subluxes), the literate I have read, states so far five times.
"Dialation" as I read above must mean that something increases it's area, so I connect such to the BH String Theory's g-string's diameter: the model? Each string has a fixed mass string (say equal to each of the individual masses at the end of the srting) or volume, dialation implies to me that the inverse square laws are consistent with the length of each g-string, the area increases as g-string lenth decreases, this makes sense visually, that is the connection to math, the picture graphics allows me, the student to doodle, get confused, and erase.
Or, the initial start of our Universe of choice, two near flat equal lateral triangles, one the mirror (antiparticle), perhaps comming together or repelling, let our minds pick the pictures, and this model matches the math that each part, vertexes and edges, themselves of equal mass, and expand into similar powers of + or - 3.
Words have their place with vision, math can take care of the division, we take care of the unifying.
