Physics Nobel 2022
Nobel season every year brings a slew of social media posts and outreach about the research area of the Nobel Prize for Physics. 2022 was no exception, with the award focusing on a key area of quantum physics related to Bell’s inequality. I encountered this tweet stream from Will Kinney. Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen argued…

Revisiting Classical Physics
In my writings from 2018 through 2023, I have discussed many mappings between the ground breaking point potential theory to and from general relativity, quantum theories, major problems in physics, seminal false technical priors, false narratives of physics, and false narratives of cosmology. The first figure depicts how technical false priors of assumptions circa 1900…

Dr. Paul Sutter : Quantum Mechanics
Dr. Paul Sutter recorded a podcast about quantum mechanics. I thought I would respond with some insight from the point charge era. I tweeted many responses to Paul’s podcast announcement tweet. Hi Paul. I would love to talk about the standard model and quantum mechanics. Specifically I would like to discuss the false priors in…

Quantum Theory
Here’s an excellent diatribe from Dr. Paul Sutter on Quantum Theory. It is both hilarious and tragic. A lack of imagination during the classical to quantum transition caused the quantum mess. One signal of the root issue is that quantum mechanics is dissatisfying to many who dive into it, no matter how deep they go.…

Dialog with a Fanboi
Here is a conversation I had on the PBS Space Time discord. As usual, the fanboi who frequent social media demonstrate their complete lack of creativity and imagination. I continue to find it to be either a lack of intellectual capability or perhaps some kind of subterfuge, for these people to claim they don’t recognize…

Nature Fooled Physicists
One might argue that Lienard and Wiechert own some responsibility for the false priors established by their circa 1900 work on point charges and action due to history potential. They did not consider fractional point charges, because at the time, all that was known was positive and negative charge. I think this was well before…

Innovation Contest
I’ve entered NPQG in an innovation contest! In a sense it feels odd because it seems to me like a gargantuan idea entering a contest that would typically draw less lofty concepts. On the other hand, the NPQG model is first and foremost extremely mundane and parsimonious. I guess it fits right in, even if…

The Periodic Table of the Standard Model
The figure shows what I call the periodic table of the standard model of particle physics. Let’s walk through the sections of the table. We’ll cover each particle in more detail as we dive deeper. J Mark Morris : Boston : Massachusetts

Determinism
Physical laws that are described by differential equations represent deterministic systems, even though the state of the system at a given point in time may be difficult to describe explicitly. Wikipedia Let’s study systems of point charges, which are governed by differential equations, and examine the topic of determinism. In one sense action throughout the…

Nature of a Gravitational Theory
In Robert Dicke’s 1957 paper, “Gravitation without a Principle of Equivalence” he writes of the requirements for a new theory of gravitation. The Noether core implements the strong force and Lorentz invariance. This is accomplished with six point charges. The geometry is based upon orbiting negative and positive point charges. The orbiting binary has fascinating…

The Equivalence Principle
In the theory of general relativity, the equivalence principle is the equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass, and Albert Einstein’s observation that the gravitational “force” as experienced locally while standing on a massive body (such as the Earth) is the same as the pseudo-force experienced by an observer in a non-inertial (accelerated) frame of reference.…

What is Reality?
“What is reality?” Dr. Sara Imari Walker Understanding reality is remarkably quite straightforward. In the annals of scientific history, there have been numerous instances where fields of study have evolved in a fragmented manner. One such intriguing case is the development of particle physics and cosmology that for 125 years have lacked a comprehensive ontology.…

Cosmology
Eminent scientists have published papers on the state of LCDM cosmology in 2022 just as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) era begins. These papers include the successes as well as the anomalous tensions of LCDM. Authors include Peebles (2022), Abdalla, Abellán, Aboubrahim, et al. (2022) and Perivolaropoulos and Skara (2022). These papers provide a…

The Binary Curvature Limit Matches the Planck Scale
A unit potential point charge binary has a maximum curvature at the orbital point where self action results in a velocity of @ pi/2, where @ is the universal constant speed of the Planck sphere potential stream. If we presume that this limit corresponds to the Planck frequency, we can calculate the radius of orbit…

The Orbiting Point Charge Binary V
Let’s consider equal and opposite unit potential point charges, an electrino and a positrino, each orbiting the other and traveling a common circular path when group absolute velocity is zero and isolated from external perturbation. The video loop shows three different orbits, each with a different energy, frequency, radius of orbit, and point charge velocity.…
