An alternative to String Theory, quantum physics.

[cloffff]

Sounds like you borrowed a lot of real physics and then stopped. Should have borrowed the rest. ;]

[nickharvey7]

@cloffff It would have been very difficult to have borrowed the rest because modern physics has no understanding of why we have an ‘arrow of time’ or why the speed of light is a universal constant. Only by an understanding of time as a universal physical process of continuous change forming the continuous uncertainty of Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle can explain this.

[cloffff]

@nickharvey7 Of course it does. Second law of thermodynamics, and lorentz symmetry are the reasons, respectively.

[Manikhayya]

EXCELLENT!

[TheMagicBolt]

Sorry, for asking alot of questions, but in this theory, all particles of the light sphere are entangled correct? So what when one wave of light hits an atom, what happens to the rest of the waves traveling in other directions? They are entangled, so what happens to them? Another thing, how exactly does this effect time for us? I could not understand completely from the video.

[nickharvey7]

@TheMagicBolt You can think of this as a chain reaction when a wave front comes in contact with an atom it will form a new photon and a new wave of probability. The rest of the wave will continue but time will have moved on as a process of continuous change or creation! The waves are spherical and therefore expand in all directions from their radius forming the geometry of spacetime.

[TheMagicBolt]

@nickharvey7 An interesting speculation. But proof of this of course must be provided in detail. ANother thins, yes photons expand spherically from a source, but each individual photon, has a random phase, meaning it doe not share the same properties as other particles in the same light sphere, so i don't see how Quantum Entanglement fits the picture. Only for coherent sources, e.g. a laser, are photons grouped in equal phase. Unless you have a different explanation for that.

[TheMagicBolt]

Also........ You quantum Entanglement explanation isn't so clear to me. What do you mean by being on opposite sides of the light sphere they have opposite spins? I understand that you need opposite spins to be entangled, but i don't understand the whole light sphere concept and how that has to do with spins or why? Quantum Entanglement can be achieved by shooting 2 lasers at the same rate at 2 different particles, entangling them. How does this theory explain that?

[nickharvey7]

@TheMagicBolt If we think of light like ripples on a pond. The ripples will expand out from their centre. They will be synchronized or entangled as they expand out. Light is no different it is just three dimensional therefore spherical. In this theory we have free will to manipulate light and electrons creating modern electronics like lasers entangling our own created spacetime.

[TheMagicBolt]

@nickharvey7 Another thing. So since atoms do have some EMR, and it expand out in all directions, symmetrically, Why does when it hit another atom, it not continue. Yes, i've seen the diagrams in the video, but why doesn't the light that doesn't hit the atom continue expanding or does it?, If not what's stopping it, are all the particles of that sphere entangled? so if one stops coninuing then they all stop? if that is so, why are there not groups of entangled photons everywhere today?

[nickharvey7]

@TheMagicBolt This is a continuous process of light waves coming into contact with electron on the surface of atoms. When this happen it forms a photon electron coupling (particles) that will have its own quantum state. Pauli’s exclusion principle stops the electron from being in two quantum states at the same time or in the same place at the same time.

[TheMagicBolt]

@nickharvey7 i know that, but that doesn't answer my question about how the light sphere continues or collapses.

[nickharvey7]

@TheMagicBolt True! The word collapse is used in QM but I think the use of this word is very confusing. The waves continue but the spherical symmetry is broken. In this theory it is this process of symmetry forming and breaking that forms the spirals we see in living and non-living!

[nickharvey7]

@rebokism These two theories are very different there is probably some things right and wrong in both theories. In Quantum Atom Theory we are always in the ‘moment of now’ our perceptions or thoughts our formed by chemical changes that are formed by electrical impulses (photons) that are new moments in time and space.

[TheMagicBolt]

wrong



[polybius22]

Lastly, what are the implications considering the origin of the universe? If we are to believe that it is self-containing and infinite (with no beginning or end), how could it have been created by a God? In what way does this theory contradict the big bang? Thanks.

[nickharvey7]

@polybius22 This theory still has a cosmological time looking back at the history of our Universe as a whole. So you can still believe in the Big Bang and God if you want to! You could have as many Big Bangs as you want within an infinity. This theory is more about the process of time, why we have a future and a past, understanding this will help us understand quantum physics.

[polybius22]

Also, as we have seen from the double slit experiment, observation quantizes the photons as particles.  Therefore, to have an atom with many electrons, would not each of these electrons collapse the wave into a particle upon observation, thereby amplifying the EMR?

[nickharvey7]

@polybius22 No, each electron needs its own 3-D spacetime two electrons requires 6-D three electrons require 9-D and so on. But no two electrons can share the same quantum state at the same time. This is just the same as an object in our everyday life cannot be in two places at the same time. Because classical mechanics is an approximation of quantum mechanics we only ever have three-dimensions and the other dimensions represent a potential sequence forming the time continuum.

[TheMagicBolt]

@nickharvey7 unless you are talking about muons.

[TheMagicBolt]

you talk as if time is a tangible substance.

[nickharvey7]

@TheMagicBolt In modern physics everything has its own reference frames that will have its own proper time relative to its energy or mass. The greater the mass the slower time runs in that reference frame forming Einstein curvature of spacetime. This is why we have time dilation we all have our own reference frame and have our own proper time. I talk of time as a physical process forming the geometry of spacetime.

[TheMagicBolt]

@nickharvey7 alright i see what your saying now after watching it again, everything seems to fit right. Good Job Matey.

[TheMagicBolt]

@nickharvey7 Im not understanding the explanation for quantum entanglement. I personally am not a big fan of string theory, im open to it, but i prefer the standard model, with the exception of the graviton. So my main question remains, because i could quite understand the video, how exactly, considering string theory is true, is this an alternative. Are you saying that there's something different than strings, and how does the math of string theory work to prove this theory?

[nickharvey7]

@TheMagicBolt Yes this is an alternative to String Theory instead of strings we have a process of spherical symmetry forming and breaking. This symmetry can be seen in the math ∆×∆p×≥h/4π as 4π representing a light sphere. A photon will have the same spin for the whole surface of the sphere no matter how large it becomes forming quantum entanglement.

[TheMagicBolt]

Are you basing everything in our universe; time , gravity, interactions, on electro-magnetic radiation? I unerstading what you're saying, but im not buying it. Interesting thought though. I may of had a hard time understainding you, but did are you saying EMR and TIME are bound together, in sort of a space-time-EMR fabric?

[nickharvey7]

@TheMagicBolt No, I am saying everything is linked together in this theory by a universal process of continuous change or continuous creation. Object form their own rate of time relative to their energy or mass by reacting with light or EMR. This forms Einstein’s curvature of spacetime and objects will free-fall towards the greater mass or slowest rate of time.

[nickharvey7]

@polybius22 No, each electron needs its own 3-D spacetime two electrons requires 6-D three electrons require 9-D and so on. But no two electrons can share the same quantum state at the same time. This is just the same as an object in our everyday life cannot be in two places at the same time. Because classical mechanics is an approximation of quantum mechanics we only ever have 3-D and the other dimensions represent a potential sequence forming the time continuum.

[polybius22]

Very interesting, thank you for sharing. 

A few questions:

Although you seem to indicate light is not bound by time, and that it causes a 2D universe to become 3D, how can this be? Light is bound by time and progresses through space at the rate of c, as a spherical and three dimensional wave.

[nickharvey7]

@polybius22 Atoms interact with light wave of EMR continuously collapsing the quantum wave particle function forming photons that form electrical charge that in turn form electromagnetic fields in three dimensions. This forms the local spacetime geometry a time-varying electric field act as a source of a magnetic field, and a time-varying magnetic field was the source of an electric field. This is possible because light is a universal constant and is not relative to the observer or the source.

[latinwolf92]

Very interesting, im looking up some theories of my own, but one things about this that bothers me is, what about the other force carrier particles? If photon emissions from matter create spacetime, what about the other bosons interacting with other fermions? Do you discard the standard model as a whole or do you place electromagnetic radiation at the center of how the universe works??

[nickharvey7]

@latinwolf92 This theory does not replace the Standard Model. In this theory we form are own quantum particles, virtual particles only manifest themselves when something comes in contact with the quantum vacuum. This is like a stone age man hitting two flints together to form sparks the sparks only come into existence because the flints made contact.

[mfunke]

I always envisioned something like this when looking at the results of Quantum Physics experiments. Are there any testable predictions to this hypothesis?

[nickharvey7]

@mfunke There should be some testable predictions in this hypothesis, it can predict or explain why light acts the way it does in the Two Slit Experiment.

[mfunke]

@nickharvey7

If only we had an experimental physicist to help us. LOL

[Chthonic00]

A triple-slit experiment has been done just recently to confirm the predictions of QM. The error margin was 1% from Born's equation.

[nickharvey7]

@Chthonic00 Thanks for the comment! Light will always act as a wave until it comes in contact with the electron on the surface of an atom in other words comes in contact with an object. The number of slits you have makes no difference.

[WOWJBEOWULF]

I do something funny with entanglement, my television remote control batteries are fading and cannot change the channel from the couch; I get up close to the television and click the channels with the buttons I will use, now entangled, and sit on the couch and change channels. Works for a short distance. Something strange, as I attempted entanglement in everyday life; but fun. It is non-science tested; but for years on equipment it seems everything is affected by experience & personality.

[nickharvey7]

@WOWJBEOWULF It is funny how everything is connected or entangled in our everyday life just as in quantum physics. But if classical physics is based on quantum physics this should all make sense once we understand the paradoxes of quantum physics. Because the laws of physics are universal all our experience even our personality or consciousness must be based or affected by the principles quantum physics that we do not totally understand.

[WOWJBEOWULF]

@nickharvey7 Do not worry about classic physics so much. Albert Einstein discussed that with the Copenhagen papers; the old ideas that the Universe is one composite of a lump of material was false and infected all teaching. The problem manifested in every laboratory with improper measurements, wrong setup, and incorrect ideas. Conjecture is fun, but at the root, what they really measured is the proper answer; we really need to see the math and repeat results, examples, and demonstrations.

[nickharvey7]

@WOWJBEOWULF Thanks for the comment! in this theory EMR works as an dynamic ether thought-out the whole Universe. All matter forms its own electromagnetic fields forming its own reference frame or spacetime. Each reference frame will have its own proper time relative to its position and momentum. Even the observer will do this forming their own future in space and time.

[WOWJBEOWULF]

@nickharvey7 I have that, there is an experiment using a shadow such as the famous German cross, the tube forms a florescent light outline of the shadow at the end of the long tube; then during experimentation knock over the cross; the electron flow seems to be quantum entangled and fills the missing shadow perfectly at the end of the tube, still traveling the same path but the cross is gone: At the end of the tube is the cross image and no inside shadow cross. A learned time & space path.

[vanderbilt887]

Utter gibberish. Please take this down. Youtube is full enough with idiots who haven't got the slightest idea what they're talking about.

[nickharvey7]

@vanderbilt887 Thanks for your open mindedness it is very enlighten of you!

[vanderbilt887]

@nickharvey7

Save me the open-mind meme. It's a standard reply one gets when one calls someone out on his nonsense. I have an open mind for *a lot* of things, save BS. It's flagrantly obvious to anyone who has studied this.

One thing I do encourage you to go on with though, is your persistent and creative exploring.

"non teneas aurum totum quod splendet ut aurum"

Cheers.

[crawlFace]

Now here are some more issues of clarity:

We can't entirely treat EMR as an infinite result of its source. In this sense the observer does not get to collapse an infinite possibility/probability of the wave, although you are overall correct in your representation of the observer and wave, the point is that EMR should have a very measurable range defined by its source. The light spectrum (wavelength) supports this. At the very least we should measure different frequencies?

[crawlFace]

@crawlFace

ok, not too much of an issue because we rep light as constant. But you are well aware of the tricky term: "vacuum". So, to cut to the chase, the "observer" can be represented exactly as any other source of EMR and that brings us to the amazing nature of interaction. You are describing a created spacetime as a result of coupling, and everything is creating and collapsing the wave. Now how exclusive is this relationship?

[crawlFace]

@crawlFace

my point is why should we assume that we experience any spacetime because of any particles other than a range of EMR exclusive to "our" atom arrangements, so that any other atoms are always only defined by the constant arrangement of the observer's?

If you are following me, then this suggests a complicated nature of time not being universally shared or created, which also suggests that the Wcollapse is not mutually exclusive.

[roddyjojo]

What are you talking about in this video? This is just magical thinking with some scientific jargon thrown in.

The speed of light is a constant, you are aware of that? Where are you calculations for this 'theory'?

Art isn't science. Enrol at your local university for a degree in a hard science, preferably physics. Work for four years, then perhaps you'll have something to contribute.

[nickharvey7]

@roddyjojo Yes light is a constant but no one knows why or how it can be independent of the motion of the light source and independent of the observer of the light. This theory is based on calculations and equations we already have I believe this is the best thing it can be based on. Art, electronics and everything in our everyday life is based on the paradoxes of quantum mechanics.

[crawlFace]

Regarding your statement: 'This has nothing to do with consciousness because all atoms create their own spacetime geometry.'

If we take further consideration for interactions with atoms, which you mention as the observer choosing when and where to collapse the wFunction, then we see that 'free will' can be represented as consciousness.

[nickharvey7]

@crawlFace In this theory this has nothing to do with consciousness because it is a physical process of the w-function collapsing and reforming creating the arrow of time and the geometry of spacetime. This is a universal process so even the mind of the observer is governed by this process. Consciousness represents the most complex form of this dynamic universal process creating an infinite number of future possibilities and opportunities 'free will'.

[crawlFace]

@nickharvey7

lol, we may think it has nothing to do with consciousness but... anything you accurately represent should hint at exactly what consciousness is, and that's not so bad is it?

My friend, I am in support of your approach, and as I said before much of your ideas are not uncommon and are shared by many. Consider our discussions as a review of some of the more pressing aspects we need to cross-check and accurately represent.

[kareszt]

I don't mind this.... it's nice (ish)

Intersting way to look at Heisenberg UPrinc, (time=K.magnification), sort of Alan Turing ish - as you look for solution from infinite set, infinite time needed to find sol.

I wouldn't put it past you - I would take up a University course if I were you.. get a good grasp of everything and then start calculating with your mind set and see if it works according to current observations.

[nickharvey7]

@ZenoEffect In this theory it is physical action the collapses the wave function of quantum mechanics not consciousness. I feel a greater understanding of the dynamics of light and time will help us understand quantum mechanics. Because the laws of physics are the same everywhere it should also help us understand consciousness.

[nickharvey7]

@ZenoEffect Interesting comment! I feel we have a lot of scientific data what we need is a simple idea that fits in with all the data. In this theory the probability of the Uncertainty Principle is the same probability that the observer will have with any future event. This makes time the Hidden Variable of quantum physics. Consciousness might have dimensions but they would be base on the same scientific data as everything else. At the moment we have no idea what consciousness is.

[gregrutz]

Time moves at the speed of light ? NO, two different things.

What does this video have to do with string theory?

[nickharvey7]

@gregrutz In this theory time moves at the speed of light because nothing can move faster than light so the smallest unit of radiant energy (photon) is the smallest unit of measureable time. These photons are multiplied to give us the dynamic visual Universe we see all around us. Time is therefore the Hidden Variable that can explain the paradoxes of quantum physics without strings!

[gregrutz]

@nickharvey7

Wrong, the speed of light does not change, even if you are going close to the speed of light. Time CHANGES, depending on your speed and the warped space you are in [gravitational field]

[nickharvey7]

@gregrutz I agree it is time that changes when an object accelerates towards the speed of light. In this theory time is a measurement and a variable and this is why we have a Measurement Problem at the quantum level.

[nickharvey7]

Thanks for the comment! I agree with you about String Theory I am on You Tube trying to promote my theory on the dynamics of light and time and any help on You Tube or in the scientific community will be gratefully welcomed.

[InsaneGoonRules]

String theory is crap.

[toadinthehole84]

hmm nice does seem to make more sense than m theory...

[farerse]

sounds like you know everythin about everything ,, wish i understood more =)

[HaleyMary]

Cool vid! One thing that stuck out to me in this was that there are no straight lines in nature. It's not something I usually think about, but it's seen all the time, from the trees to the grass, even when something appears to stand straight, the wind can make it curve.

[nickharvey7]

This is true crystals have straight lines there must be a reason for this?

The curves in the video are on living things and also the curvature of spacetime. I feel that if strings were the building blocks of the Universe we would see living cells in the shape of strings and string galaxies not spiral galaxies. I am dyslexic so my spelling is also no good.

[barakameek]

you say that there are no strate lines.....well cristels grow in strate lines....

sorry for my bad spelling i hope you can understand

nice vid Nick, i wonder if this can also explain the "delayed choice" 2-slit experiment.
