How Does Nature Implement Time?
One of the more popular topics in popular science video and article outreach is the mysterious concept of time. It turns out, like everything else in the universe, the explanation is quite straightforward and conceptually simple. Let’s talk about time as it is manifested in nature. Level Zero Time At the most fundamental level in…

Dirac Sphere Potentials
The discrete elements of nature are the negative and positive unit potential point charges, aka the electrino and positrino, respectively. These point charges continuously emit an electric potential field from their current position (t, s). That electric potential expands spherically at a radial speed @. Geometrically each expanding spherical potential is defined as a Dirac…

Euclidean Time and Space
Perhaps the most fundamental element of nature is a void of time and space that is the background for the universe*. In the formulation of Neoclassical Physics and Quantum Gravity, NPQG, I have presumed no functional capabilities of the void other than to serve as a vessel for energetic unit potential point charges and their…

What is Next for NPQG?
I began my thought experiments on nature in January 2018. The genesis of my ideas was skepticism about the theory of black holes. Following one thread after another, often in a highly non-linear fashion, I scoured the landscapes of physics, cosmology, and astronomy and found these fields to be in deep crisis and confusion with…

Physics and the Dragon’s Tail
I’m a fan and a subscriber to PBS Space Time. Their formula for the presentation and delivery of information often leads me to huge insights. The video below is about Planck’s constant, Planck’s law, Rayleigh-Jeans law, and the Ultraviolet Catastrophe. I’ve read about these many times, but the insight really clicked when watching this video.…

Nonsense Pop Woo Physics
I was going to skip this video from Sabine because I prefer not to waste my time on woo-ish pop science, but, watch it I did. Why is Sabine spending her time on this? My guess is that there is a monetizable market for woo-ish pop science and Sabine can do whatever she wants with…

The Universe has a Floating Ground
A real number system of 4-dimensions, R4, provides the fundamental coordinate system needed for a dynamical continuous charge path geometry. Moving up into dynamical structure we have rational numbers Q which are very useful for nested systems of spinning dipoles that synchronize on h-bar quanta of angular momentum. These are dynamical systems. There is a…

Deep in the Point Charge Sea
The period circa 1900 to 1930 is marked by a number of scientists who were tap-dancing right on top of the solution to nature. Why didn’t they break through? Read Dirac’s words several times until they sink in. Dirac is capitulating, surrendering, and acquiescing. Each point charge in the universe has a path dependent relationship…

Gluon Color Charge Assembly
Let’s brainstorm about the art of the possible with point charges where we suspend disbelief and imagine how to make it work and match existing theories. A good topic is how a proton might work with gluons and color charge. This brainstorm session was conducted on the Discord server of PBS Space Time and the…

Assembly Redux
I love this visual version of the periodic table of elements showing electron shells. I love the duality between this form of depiction and my diagram of the point charge implementation of the standard model. You can see how the patterns at the standard model influence the dual patterns in the periodic table of elements.…

Jefimenko Liénard Wiechert
Scene : The ghosts of Liénard and Wiechert conversing about physics. Liénard : Wiechert old chap, we really screwed things up for physics didn’t we? Wiechert : We sure did. It’s a tragedy. I would have thought someone would revisit our priors by now. It’s unfortunate that the scientific method doesn’t have proactive false prior…

Rearranging Cosmology
Matt O’Dowd and the PBS Space Time crew issued an episode with a bizarre premise, yet covering many concepts that have been mixed up in cosmology, so I thought I would comment on a few extracts from the transcript. I wish there were an alternative version of this episode where the premise is “Is Science…

Noether Cores and Quantum Spin
It appears that all detectable particles, including those that are measurable but not understood, are based upon a Noether core. That includes all particles that science identifies in the standard model, as well as those particles that quantum mechanics (QM) based science does not yet understand. The Noether core is an amazing spinning tri-dipole structure…

Mapping the Right Hand Rule
I don’t understand why a moving point charge would produce a magnetic field with directional asymmetry depending on the charge sign, i.e., why is there a right hand rule? That has to be explained at some point. Is it really true or merely an ontological convention? Let’s ponder classical point charges and the right hand…

Frames of Reference
Who Let the Frames Out?Who, who, who, who, who? h/t Baha Men Science history is chock full of small to medium wrong turns and corrections. Occasionally science goes off track on a long bender. In such cases, we call the course correction a paradigm shift. This episode of PBS Space Time covers a topic at…

Scalar and Vector Potential
Scalar and vector potential tell point charges how to move. J Mark Morris This post is about scalar and vector electric potential and how the summation, aka superposition, of these potentials controls the point charge universe. It’s not precise to say that general relativity’s spacetime geometry nor NPQG’s spacetime aether tells matter how to move.…
