He has as much as admitted that his instruments hide the discrete nature of photons. Then personally hides in QM when challenged, as if "quantum" didn't mean "not just a wave" (in some loose sense, sorry Bilge). Thanks Didn't want you to think you were on your own.

They apparently once ruled the earth in prehistoric times, in what one might call: that period of Nature's nightmarish combinatorics of biology and its aesthetic preference for cute and cuddly deepsea anglerfish: http://earthguide.ucsd.edu/hughes200...ng/deep03b.jpg Developing any working theories without using chimeras seems improbable. Give me an example of a theory without a chimera. "...and I cherish more than anything else the Analogies, my most trustworthy masters. They know all the secrets of Nature..." --Kepler Analogies, similes, metaphors, paradoxes, hyphenation, morphisms,... are all chimeras. How often do they lead to "eureka!" ? One must draw a line somewhere. If some people find the idea of photons convenient, then "let them eat cake". They want and desire the sugar-coated complication because it has caloric content and does work for them. "More power to them." And they have no desire to eat something more blandly nutritional like plain ordinary bread even though it may be healthier. Every paradigm is a candle, burning from both ends. Kuhn: "The proponents of different theories are like the members of different language-culture communities." http://www.marxists.org/reference/su...ks/us/kuhn.htm Similarly, "linguistic relativity": http://www.google.com/search?q=linguistic+relativity and these seem to naturally lead to ideas of the "Global Village": that expanding universe of sensors/information/communication, and preceived responsibility, http://www.aber.ac.uk/media/Students/bas9401.html McLuhan's notion of "reversal" is of the inevitable demise of a paradigm as it reverts into something destructive. This is similar to Paracelsus' ideas on the dose relationship between cures and poisons. So, they also claim, not only are we, the average citizens, now responsible for our households, our neighborhoods, our cities, our nations,... but the whole world. And not only the world, but anything you can perceive with these new enhanced sensors like: atoms, photons, stars, galaxies, killer asteroids... "Excuse me while I kiss the sky" - Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze We're all expected now to be infinitely "nosey", minding each others' business. So how much responsibility do you want to take on ? Or, how much responsibility are you willing to let others lay on you ? Are you willing to go into the rain forests and tell the stone age natives there, that you must now regulate their lives, because it's your responsibility since you saw them before they saw you ? This of course creates alot of paranoia. Some people don't seem to like the idea of their being held responsible for some anonymous nerd on the other side of the planet mucking around with dangerous combinations of over-the-counter chemicals, desktop black holes, phlogiston, and DNA. Others get over-zealous, and want to control everyone in microscopic detail like big brother. Dune, Star Wars propaganda ensues followed by the more humorous "all your base are belong to us" phenomena: http://www.sirlinksalot.net/ayb.html And thus too was born the whole idea of "The Borg" in Star Trek, those interconnected cyborgs with no individual personality. The "resistance is futile" ultimatum of these prefection-seeking Borg is reflected in other prophetic propaganda: Ursula Leguin wrote in "The Lathe of Heaven" of how the universe is inevitably destroyed by some anonymous hyperdimensional alien engineer tinkering with a new kind of space drive. The protagonist is told that this cannot be avoided. Destruction is as inevitable as existance. A similar stoic notion of our tragic and inevitable demise is presented in "Dr. Strangelove". Life is short. I think I'll go out and buy a Gadsden flag: http://www.foundingfathers.info/stor...den.html#story rather than worry about whether science is being corrupted by the concept of photons. One might as well complain that music was about continuous waves, and not about individual discrete notes; but I don't think that would go very far. "It is rare to find learned men who are clean, do not stink and have a sense of humour." http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~his...s/Leibniz.html By "photon" bad character and ill-looking appearance, like the Devil with his tail cut off. ;-) The Devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. " The Devil is the Liar and He is the Father of Lie. " The schizophrenia is inadequate perception of the real. The purpose of the given article is the proof of an inaccuracy of representation about a duality of physical properties of light. Light is wave process always and in all cases. The nature, ambient us, consists of quantum microsystems, therefore any phenomenon can be explain from a point of Plank's view - quantum microsystems can exchange energy only by quantum portions. This energy is absorbed and is emited only as electromagnetic waves. Photoeffect, Raman and Compton effects and all other phenomena have physically correct explanation only from the point of Plank's view. The classical interpretations of a photoeffect and Compton effect are error. These interpretations were offered when there was no quantum mechanics and radio physics. In that time the principles of operation of transmitting and receiving devices were poorly clear and known in detailses. The processes in solid bodies and structure of solid bodies in that time were unintelligible. The quantum theory of a structure of substance (physical chemistry) was not in that time. But the pceudo-scientific imaginations as the classical interpretations of a photoeffect and Compton effect on the basis of a hypothesis of a photon are alive until now.

In article (Aleksandr Timofeev) writes: Proofs of existence of a photon in all cases leans on interaction of electromagnetic waves with substance. Sort of. It leans on the utter inability of Maxwell's description of electromagnetic waves and their interaction with an electron to describe the observed angular distribution seen in Compton scattering. Let's approach to this problem on the other hand. Let's assume, that the process of scattering of electromagnetic radiation consists of three stages: 1. The first stage will represent process of an absorption of electromagnetic radiation by a quantum microsystem. It is important to mark, that at this stage the quantum portion of electromagnetic radiation will be absorbed, since absorber is the quantum microsystem (the Plank postulate). 2. The second stage will represent a metastable state. 3. The third stage will represent spontaneous process of simultaneous emitting by a quantum microsystem of electromagnetic radiation and electron. It is important to mark, that at this stage a quantum portion of electromagnetic radiation also will be radiated, since the radiator is the quantum microsystem (the Plank postulate). Here we have the non-linear gear of transformation of frequency of initial radiation by a quantum microsystem. It is natural, that all participants interacting at the third stage are subject to conservation laws, i.e. we have almost same law of angular distribution, which you have indicated, but this law of angular distribution should be updated with allowance for of third very massive component representing a quantum microsystem. This falsification of an E+M wave description of a physical phenomenon involving light leaves the photon-based models as the only viable alternative. Just in this place, the logic error in the orthodox interpretation of interaction of electromagnetic radiation and substance in the given individual considered case of the non-linear gear of transformation of frequency of initial radiation by a quantum microsystem is hidden. I shall strengthen my position by adding in this model of Raman effect. In a nature completely other gear of scattering is realized which differs from offered you and refuted in the same moment by you of inconsistent model of interaction of an electromagnetic wave and electron. In this place we have a vicious circle. No. You seem to think that, by describing the internal self-consistency of the photon model as a "vicious circle", you can use semantics as a substitute for experiment or theory. Similarly, you seem to wish to pretend that the lack of self-consistency in a wave model of light interacting with matter is a good thing rather than bad as most others seem to realize. The hypothesis of a photon is necessary only for explanation of transmission of E/M energy without existence of medium. Well now I assume the problem " of free electrons " will arise. Eric Prebys has run away from a field of this battle. He is a good official opponent since he is the expert in the field of non-linear transformations of frequency of electromagnetic oscillations. ================================================== ======================= |

[snip] Part 2 ------------------------------------------------- http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...g .google.com The Fermat's least action principle has mystical properties similar to remote action of Newton's(?) gravitational force between two bodies: " Newton's(?) gravitational force " Robert Hooke Born: 18 July 1635 in Freshwater, Isle of Wight, England Died: 3 March 1703 in London, England http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~his...ans/Hooke.html " When Newton produced his theory of light and colour in 1672, Hooke claimed that what was correct in Newton's theory was stolen from his own ideas about light of 1665 and what was original was wrong. This marked the beginning of severe arguments between the two. In 1672 Hooke attempted to prove that the Earth moves in an ellipse round the Sun and six years later proposed that inverse square law of gravitation to explain planetary motions. Hooke wrote to Newton in 1679 asking for his opinion:- .... of compounding the celestiall motions of the planetts of a direct motion by the tangent (inertial motion) and an attractive motion towards the centrall body ... my supposition is that the Attraction always is in a duplicate proportion to the Distance from the Center Reciprocall ... ================================================== ================= Hooke claimed priority over the inverse square law and this led to a bitter dispute with Newton who, as a consequence, removed all references to Hooke from the Principia. ================================================== ================= Frequent bitter disputes with fellow scientists occurred throughout Hooke's life. On the other hand, we should note that he was on very good terms with some colleagues, particularly Boyle and Wren. Historians have described Hooke as a difficult and unreasonable man but in many ways this is a harsh judgement. There is no doubt that Hooke genuinely felt that others had stolen ideas which he had been first to put forward. " ================================================== ================= http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~his...ns/Newton.html Newton The mechanics of the Copernican astronomy of Galileo attracted him and he also studied Kepler's Optics. From his law of centrifugal force and Kepler's third law of planetary motion, Newton deduced the inverse-square law. After his 1679 correspondence with Hooke, Newton, by his own account, found a proof that Kepler's areal law was a consequence of centripetal forces, and he also showed that if the orbital curve is an ellipse under the action of central forces then the radial dependence of the force is inverse square with the distance from the centre. This discovery showed the physical significance of Kepler's second law. ================================================== ================= --- Kind regards, Aleksandr Timofeev http://www.friends-partners.org/~rus...hem/oldeng.htm |

Alexsandr would like someone else to draw nice little ASCII diagrams of the Earth, and the detector assemblies at each antenna for the VLBI array. I of course will not do this, but suffice it to say that each detector is outfitted with a polarizer that blocks surface scatter from Earth, by not permitting light to enter the detector that has polarization such that it is likely to have reflected off the Earth proper. The antennae are scattered over the surface of the Earth, and any trio will form a detector "plane", that will accurately resolve source positions. Alexsandr's contention is that since the detectors are situated all over the Earth, and their detectors are "absolutely" synchronized (by later comparisons of data streams from each detector), that only a wave could produce simultaneous detection in each data stream. I have challenged Mr. Timofeev to ask permission of his boss (or whatever), to alter the orientation of the polarizer at one detector for long enough to assure a measured effect was recorded... say five minutes. The orientation would be to place the polarizer at 90° to another polarizer on a remote detector. Since crossed polarizers disallow anything except helically polarized light from passing, then the two detectors with this orientation should then both lose signal. Assuming the incoming signal were wavefronts, and the radio wave was truly a wave. If only the altered detector were affected, then the polarizer only affects its "waves". Since if two VLBI are located at more than 90° separation on the Earth (and some are) then observations in certain areas of the sky should provide a null signal in all cases for the two unfortunate antennae. So Alexsandr doesn't have to ask this favor of his boss. How is that Aleksandr? Be sure and not hide in quantum mechanics, if you wish to discuss this with *me* further. David A. Smith |
