Engaging the Particle Physics Reddit
I made a post on reddit despite my trepidation. Mind you, this was in r/ParticlePhysics. The comments became quite interesting including yet another ambassador of physics trying to shoo me away. You can look up the reddit post for the comment string in the unlikely event that the moderators have not removed it, but here…

Dear Particle Data Group
I sent this note to the PDG groups email address. It is actually monitored and they have responded to me in the past, for example when I asked if they would be producing a service level API interface. Well, it occurred to me that it is about time they start preparing for the point charge…

New Ideas on Galaxy Dynamics
I was watching the video from Domain of Science which has an illustration that resulted in me pausing in dreamland for half an hour. Now I feel like brainstorming on galaxy dynamics. So here we go. I’ve written quite a lot about new ways to think about supermassive black holes and their cores and jets.…

Mass
What is mass? Did you know that physicists do not have a good answer? Did you know that physicists do not know if mass is fundamental or emergent? That they cannot calculate the mass of a particle from first principles? The field of physics has been stuck on these and other concepts for quite a…

The Noether Core is Self-Tuning
A number of insights started flowing while watching this lecture by Dr. Peter Onyisi published by Aspen Physics on July 30, 2021. At the 23:10 mark, Dr. Onyisi begins to talk about neutron decay. I paused the video and started thinking, imagining, and visualizing how and why a free neutron might ‘decay’ in a short…

Physicist, Heal Thyself
Yes, that is a provocative title, and it is actually the right thing to say. The “knowledge license” of prior era physicists has an expiration date that is fast approaching. It’s already long expired in my frame of reference! Yet it it easy to catch up and blow past my level of understanding. Many physicists…

Nature is Continuous and Discrete
I was listening to a 2019 podcast interview of Steven Weinberg from “The Universe Speaks in Numbers” podcast. The discussion delves into one of my favourite topics — what in nature is fundamentally continuous and what is fundamentally discrete? It turns out that the answer depends on the context and is often highly nuanced. Structures…

Mapping Observation Precision
Physicists know that photons exchange energy in quanta. They know the relationship of frequency and wavelength. And they know that matter has a DeBroglie frequency and similar mathematical formulas. So why haven’t they realized that the implementation of these mechanisms is incredibly precise? Down to the quanta. This means that the structure of nature is…

Physicists : cd ~/career rm -rf *
The title of this post derives from a Dr. Stacy McGaugh tweet and mimics the commands to access your storage for all files pertaining to your career and accumulated work and remove everything with no possibility of recovery. I know I just told a lot of y’all that you might as well cd ~/career rm…

What Really Causes the CMB?
I wrote this comment on a post by Dr. Stacy McGaugh at his Trition Station blog. Regarding the prediction “that the background radiation will eventually resolve to be the light of ever further sources, shifted off the visible spectrum” This is why the JWST is incredibly exciting to me. As I understand it, the JWST…

Triton Station : Despondency
This post is a response to Dr. Stacy McGaugh’s post Despondency. Well, I hope I can meet the high bar that Dr. McGaugh has set for acceptable comments. Seriously. My first logical argument to Stacy and the readers/commenters is that the scientific method has failed you. The scientific method has not provided a means for…

Bickering with a Guardian of Physics
I proposed the following premise on the PBS Space Time discord #philosophy channel : Let’s brainstorm the impact on philosophy and various religions in the scenario where we discover : Would this be ho hum for philosophers or a big deal? What about losing all that woo-ish stuff from physicists like singularities, big bang, expansion…

Draw Freely Upon Your Imagination
I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am… [but] I would have been surprised if I had been wrong I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the…

It’s Time to Cancel GR, QM, & ΛCDM
Although I am quite frustrated with the physicists I have encountered in social media due to their attitude problems, bullying, and their tragically wrong interpretations of nature and the universe, I feel an onus to try to get attention from the fields of physics and cosmology on to NPQG so we can move on with…

General Relativity is Wrong. Long Live General Relativity.
General relativity (GR) is wrong even though it is an incredibly accurate effective theory. GR is based upon a toy model of spacetime as an abstract Riemannian geometry. GR is unaware of nature’s foundation of Euclidean space and time permeated by energy generating and carrying immutable point charges. We can rehabilitate GR with the concept…
