Space-time distortion

As in wave mechanics, the simulation of chemical phenomena by number theory is characterized by the appearance of integers, in this case associated with chemical structures and transformations. An obvious conclusion is that the elementary units of matter should be viewed as wave structures rather than point particles, which is consistent with the first appearance of matter in curved space-time. Even 3D wave packets behave in a manner convincingly like ponderable matter and rationalize the equivalence of mass and energy in a natural way. There is no compelling reason why this simple model should be concealed with the notion of wave/particle duality and more so on realizing that the wave-like space-time distortions are strictly 4D structures. In response to environmental pressure, an electronic wave packet can shrink to the effective size of an elementary particle or increase to enfold a proton as a spherical standing wave. [Pg.23]

In the real world the stress tensor never vanishes and so requires a nonvanishing curvature tensor under all circumstances. Alternatively, the concept of mass is strictly undefined in flat Minkowski space-time. Any mass point in Minkowski space disperses spontaneously, which means that it has a space-like rather than a time-like world line. In perfect analogy a mass point can be viewed as a local distortion of space-time. In euclidean space it can be smoothed away without leaving any trace, but not on a curved manifold. Mass generation therefore resembles distortion of a euclidean cover when spread across a non-euclidean surface. A given degree of curvature then corresponds to creation of a constant quantity of matter, or a constant measure of misfit between cover and surface, that cannot be smoothed away. Associated with the misfit (mass) a strain field appears in the curved surface. [Pg.164]

Simultaneously, as though I was having a yet deeper thought, I somehow intuitively "understood" that the distortion or polarizing of the light of the flame was an effect caused by the distortion of psychic space-time induced by our experiment and the nearby, ubiquitous presence of the lapis. This thought was followed by another Perhaps the... [Pg.96]

Cosmic strings and cosmic textures are hypothetical entities that distort the space-time fabric. [Pg.220]

At around 10 to the power -43 of a second, time itself becomes quantised, that is it appears as discontinuous particles of time, for there is no way in which time can manifest in quantities less than 10 to the power -43 (the so called Planck time). For here the borrowed quantum energies distort the fabric of space turning it back upon itself. There time must have a stop. At such short intervals the energies available are enormous enough to create virtual black holes and wormholes in space-time, and at this level we have only a sea of quantum probabilities - the so called Quantum Foam. Contemporary physics suggests that through these virtual wormholes in space-time there are links with all time past and future, and through the virtual black holes even with parallel universes. [Pg.9]

Should a fermion represent some special distortion, or knot, in the aether, spherical rotation allows it to move freely through the space-time continuum without getting entangled with its environment, which consists of the same stuff as the fermion. While rotating in spherical mode adhesion to the environment is rythmically stretched and relaxed as the fermion moves through space. This half-frequency disturbance of the wave-field, that supports the fermion in space, constitutes the effect observed as spin. [Pg.145]

If the body is observed from a large body which is not moving uniformly it will appear not to move uniformly, so that its line in the space time region will appear to be curved. This apparent curvature is not due to any real change in the line, but merely to the distortion of the time and space measurements by the non-uniform motion of the body from which the observations are made. The line appears to be curved but it is still the straightest possible line, since it is not really changed. [Pg.105]

The concept of local distortions of space-time can be visualized in crude analogy with the impossibility of covering a curved surface with a flat sheet. It may seem to work at short range, but over an extended (closed) surface wrinkles appear in the cover and despite all efforts to smooth them away a fixed amount of misfit between surface and cover persists. Identifying space-time with a flat Euclidean cover then shows how any large-scale curvature must result in the creation of local distortions. As elementary particles of few types occur in Nature distortion of space is quantized, and like other quantum phenomena would therefore be conveniently described in wave formalism. [Pg.96]

In terms of the present argument an elementary unit of distorted space (a particle) disturbs the universal equilibrium and becomes a source of secondary outward waves that interfere in space with all other waves produced by comparable sources. When the magical universal equilibrium becomes restored the resultant wave derived from all other matter in space-time con-... [Pg.102]

All evidence points at a multi-dimensional, non-orientable structure, topologically equivalent to projective space-time. It is of interest to note that the same conclusion has been reached before on the basis of astronomical observation [229]. In two instances has the same pattern, defined by a cluster of quasars, been observed as distorted multiple images at different positions in the sky and interpreted in terms of multiply connected projective space. [Pg.243]

Most of these questions are not important beyond the problem of comparing results from different laboratories, since many of the space time definitions vary from each other by just a calculable constant. However, in sane cases other issues may be involved, such as the assumed volume of vaporized liquid feed at inlet or at STP conditions, the definition of catalyst density, and so on, making comparison between results from various laboratories difficult and raising the potential for distorting the calculated activation energies and frequency factors of a reaction. There is no generally accepted convention for the definition of space time and the best we can expect is to know exactly how it has been defined in each case. There is an urgent need for this information and it must be demanded of authors by referees and editors if we are to remove some of the fuzz from kinetic data in the literature. [Pg.10]

From the original relationship, it is clear that a pressure drop across the catalyst bed will affect reactant concentration by a factor of (P/P0). This can result in significant distortions to the kinetic interpretation at various flow rates, since various pressure drops are used to vary space time in an experimental program. At what point this becomes a problem is a matter for the experimenter to determine. Clearly, at some flow rate, and hence at some pressure drop, the distortion becomes unacceptable. This defines the upper limit of accessible flow rates. [Pg.12]

Other definitions of space time may be convenient but are sure to introduce factors that will distort rate parameters and reduce comparability between studies. Since the literature is full of idiosyncratic definitions of space time, and since the best fit rate expressions and rate parameters can be influenced by these definitions, one should check this issue thoroughly before comparing conclusions in different literature sources. [Pg.24]

The wave nature of the electron and the physical implications thereof were discussed recently in some detail (Boeyens, 2010). As in the theory of general relativity it is accepted that an empty universe is featureless and flat, but that curvature of space-time causes wavelike distortion of the vacuum. The equivalent of an infinite plane wave in flat space develops interference effects, like wave packets, in curved space, interpreted as units of mass and energy. [Pg.131]

This model can hardly be more unUke a universe that expands in three-dimensional Euclidean space. The special-relativistic requirement of foru -dimensional space, with the cru vature of general relativity superimposed, seems to demand that space-time has a minimum of five dimensions, which is equivalent to four-dimensional projective space, described by five homogeneous coordinates. Locally perceived three-dimensional space therefore is an illusion and extrapolation of local structure, beyond the Galactic borders, a gross distortion. [Pg.235]
