Quantum Gravity Via Expansion-Contraction 22.4: Gravitation-Light Via Cars and the Eddington-Einstein Collaboration |
From Osher Doctorow
I am going to give a Conjecture here based on the fact that in the car
driving example that I have used in the last few threads, perception
via Light perpendicular to the target's surface is closely related to
Holographic Knowledge on the target's surface.
GRAVITATION-LIGHT CONJECTURE. Gravitational waves are entangled with
light waves when a light source or reflection is present.
Let's get to the Eddington-Einstein Collaboration, which is itself a
Conjecture in part. We know that Sir Arthur Eddington confirmed the GR
perihelion of Mercury prediction experimentally or observationally via
his eclipse expedition(s). Sir Arthur was one of the first people
beyond Einstein to have understood and learned GR, and was the first to
publish a book on the subject (Einstein published papers a few years
before). So far everything is well-known.
Now suppose for a moment that Sir Arthur's "confirmation" had actually
PRECEDED GR. Then GR would have been developed "backwards" in an
effort to explain a known experimental result including the arithmetic
values known. This doesn't make GR wrong and the development of a
theory from an experiment or observation(s) is not uncommon. But it
does suggest (a) that the close numerical values for Perihelion aren't
part of the "confirmation" of GR, and (b) that an alternative theory
could have been used.
But what alternative theory? Einstein was convinced that a large
mass like the Sun bends space which bends light. But what if a large
mass, which has more gravitation according to Newton's F = Gm1m2/r^2,
interacts more with light via gravitational waves and in fact becomes
entangled with light? Then all bets are off.
But how does the entanglement occur? And why doesn't it seem to occur
with a large billiard ball for example? Well, something is rising
from the surface and even interior of the Sun. Likewise, a car ahead
of you when you're driving has various motions perpendicular to its
rear surface including motion with respect to the ground as a whole and
motion internally when the driver presses the accelerator or brakes or
turns the steering wheel. In the case of the billiard ball, when it is
stationary (nobody throws it), nothing is rising from it or "in it" (at
least, very very little).
When you focus on the car driving in front of your car, your vision is
literally entangled with that car's gravitation in a more general sense
than quantum entanglement although it may have quantum meaning too.
When your focus becomes global so that you see the back of that car as
a whole globally, you become so entangled in vision (light) that you
react almost instantaneously to that car's motion including change of
direction or speed. My guess is that at some level you could even
entangle so much that you can match motion for motion the driver's
pressing the gas pedal or the brakes.
Couldn't you entangle similarly with a billiard ball even though it
were launched from an automatic machine rather than a person or rather
than involving rising substance away from it like the Sun? I'll leave
that as homework problem.

Although this isn't critical for the Conjecture, at least at this
point, I should mention a few ways in which an automatic launch of a
billiard ball differs from either radiation from the Sun or car
driving. Whatever is rising from the surface or even interior of the
Sun is subject to gravitation once a minimal "core" volume is exceeded
in the Sun (or, to make matters clearer, essentially always), and
certainly when the rising things rise above the "surface" of the Sun.
Likewise, gas and accelerator pedals involve lifting and/or dropping
against/with gravity (more or less perpendicular to the earth's
surface). With the automatically launched billiard ball, if for some
reason the launching apparatus were perpendicular to the earth and
involved lifting/falling, it could be replaced by an apparatus more or
less parallel to the earth's surface at its c.g. as it moves.
Moreover, after the initial launch, there aren't any further launches
or slow-downs due to the launching apparatus. So there's nothing to
entangle with so to speak in the automatic billiard ball scenario.
Could we reverse this and determine whether light from a star could be
due to a rocket launch or even a "star drive" or could we even entangle
with the gravitation from a star (other than the Sun) via its light?
I'll leave this for an open homework problem.

From Osher Doctorow
Quantum experiments indicate that lasers and electron streams applied
to certain materials cause entanglement.
Lasers, of course, involve light, so we're on the right track. But
electron streams? Well, why not? Light is electromagnetic
radiation. Electron streams are at least approximations to
electromagnetic radiation.
I remind readers that the Heisenberg people claim that the whole thing
is due to the small displacement vs big momentum HUP (Heisenberg
Uncertainty Principle) or the small time vs big energy HUP. But if
this Section holds up, so to speak, HUP falls short again.
Of course, we might learn something about gravitation from examining
the materials involved in these experiments. Let's leave this as an
open homework problem.
