Blog 20190605 Are particles made of waves?
A
pertinent question from Nathan Rogers:
“Hi
there!
I'm
still a passionate follower of the Progressive Science Institute! I try to read
as much as I can from your email updates, and something hit me the other day.
In your IUT paper, there is a table comparing light in the BBT model and IUT.
The BBT categorizes light as a particle-wave, while the IUT supports a wave. I
was curious if you ever considered bringing in the Wave Structure of Matter to
illuminate aspects of your theory on the microcosmic scale. It makes sense that
light is a wave and that in turn, all matter is made of waves. I know Dr. Milo
Wolff has brought forth studies on this topic - I was curious if you had looked
into this theory or not and how it could relate and enforce the Ten Assumptions
of Science.”
[GB:
Nathan. Thanks so much for your question. Glad you are enjoying the PSI Blog.
I
believe the idea particles are made of waves was nonexistent until the younger
Einstein’s aether denial. Waves are the motion of matter. They only occur in a
medium. For instance, a seismic wave produces shaking as it travels through bedrock.
It would be foolish to claim bedrock consisted of seismic waves (i.e., that
matter consisted of motion). But in the microcosmic world that type of claim has
become all too common since 1905. As ridiculous as it may be, Einstein’s
“wave-particle duality” ad hoc is essential for the photon theory, quantum
mechanics, and the expanding universe theory.
Of
course, light has well-known wave properties. This presented a special problem
for the particle theory of light. How could a light particle travel through
perfectly empty space and still have wave properties? Einstein’s answer was
that the particle (later named the “photon”) would take the waves along with
it. How this could occur is not clear, but some regressives such as Milo Wolff,
who you mentioned, have advanced the idea that matter consists of waves.[1]
Where
could that silly idea have come from? Here is Einstein himself, pontificating
on the place particles might not have in his “immaterial” fields:
"Since the theory of general relativity implies the
representation of physical reality by a continuous field, the concept of
particles or material points cannot play a fundamental part, nor can the concept
of motion. The particle can only appear as a limited region in space in which
the field strength or the energy density are particularly high."[2]
In typical fashion, “field strength” and
“energy density” are not defined. That is because “fields” and “energy density”
do not exist. Both are products of mathematical imagination. The universe has
only two fundamental phenomena: matter and the motion of matter. His denial of
this fact makes him an idealist and an anti-mechanist of the first rank. Einstein’s
supposed “overthrow” of Newtonian mechanism was not a revolution, but a
counter-revolution. That was good for religion, but not so good for science.
In further analyzing this “matter consists of
waves” idea, we need to view it as a violation of the Fourth
Assumption of Science, inseparability (Just as there is no motion
without matter, so there is no matter without motion). We define matter as an
xyz portion of the universe and motion as what those portions of the universe
do. In other words, matter exists; motion occurs. In seismology, bedrock
exists; seismic waves occur. How to determine whether a phenomenon is matter or
motion? Simple. If I can put it in my back pocket, it is matter; if I cannot,
it is motion.
Univironmental determinism (what happens to a
portion of the universe depends on the infinite matter within and without)
teaches that matter (microcosms) does not “consist” of waves; it consists of
other matter (submicrocosms). What has confused regressive physicists for over
a century is the observation that the motion of matter is never perfect. The motion of a microcosm wavers because it must travel
through a macrocosm filled with supermicrocosms. It is like running through a
thick forest—you cannot do it without wavering. Similarly, the
transmittance of motion from one place to another does not occur along a
straight line. That is because the transmittance of motion such as sound or
light requires a medium. That medium must be filled with microcosms capable of transferring motion from one microcosm to another.
This transmittance is never perfect, hence the production of waves. So much so
that we wrote a huge book on it called “Universal Cycle Theory.”[3]
It is true that many submicrocosms within a
microcosm also travel in a wavering fashion or transmit motion through the
submicrocosmic medium as a wave. Nonetheless, this does not mean that
microcosms “consist” of waves, for waves are motion and motion is not a
constituent. Again, waving is what constituents do. Einstein and his regressive
followers would have done well to learn the difference between existence and
occurrence.
