Object: Spaceman - Quantum Mechanics
Please note: I have made the subject for this quite distinct. If this thread
offends you, or any of the anticipated participants do, please filter / kill
file this thread.
For a bit of background, Spaceman has been amazing the world with his
blinding realisation that c is not a constant. He is in the process of
redeveloping all the new formula and theories that will have to come from
this and I am sure he is looking forward to the summer when he is going to
stun the established science community with some experimental data to back
up his claims.
In another thread this was posted:
[Spaceman]

I don't know what you want to do with QM but I would be willing
to think about any problems you have with such and give my
"mechanic's" thoughts on such.

[Me]

Hahaha. Explain the wave - particle duality then? Explain quantum
entanglement?

[Spaceman]

Waves are made of particles.
Particles make waves.
Start your question about such in another thread please.

So, here we are. On with the, ahem, learning. (I will try to limit the
number of questions I ask at any one time)
Spaceman, from your mechanics point of view can you explain to me how a
single particle can exhibit both wave and particle like natures (as
determined by a raft of experiments)?

A single particle (as you call it) is not actually a "single" particle Mr
Wake.
an electron is not a solid at all, so simply it is not a single particle
at all. (same is true with all other supposed particles).
All the subatomic particles are not actually particles but
are made up of even smaller particles that are also not particles
and are made up of even smaller particle etc..
There is no physical limit to "the smallest" thing.
Once you grasp such.
The "weather patterns" of an atomic structure will be as non predictable as
the weather on the Earth and it all start making more sense even though
it gets more complicated mathematically.
:)
Do you think an electron is actually a solid particle and not actually
made of smaller things at all?
If it is a solid, do you think "sound waves in solids" end at a certain
size?

Cool and I, seriously, have no disagreement with this. There is no
experimental evidence to support it, but that could be taken to simply mean
it hasn't been found yet (remember the atom :-) )

Well, to date, the standard model has been pretty successful.

If it is a solid, do you think "sound waves in solids" end at a certain

What have sound waves in solids got to do with anything? I don't understand
the question at all.
What energy is required to break the electron into its component parts?

Because waves do that.
simply because they are made of particles.
Large waves of water act like particles also but of course
in much larger form.

Large waves of water act like particles also but of course

But the water wave does not also act like a particle until you break it down
and then it stops acting like a wave.
An electron will do both.

Are you sure he is a real person? If he is he must be a Troll since I find
it impossible for a person to be that stupid and still being able to write
understandable English. If there was a law against stupidity more than 99%
of Spaceman's posts would be violating such a law.

Sadly you aren't even consistent about it. You only allow the speed addition
in your new "postulate" to apply to the observer, and even then only when
the observer knows what the original signal details should have been.
Not to mention, when you look at the actual mechanics the example you used
didn't work as you hoped - which, interestingly, is why you decided to obey
Androcles and no longer respond to my questions.
If you had any faith in your postulate then you would have been able to
defend it.

If "c" represents "carrots", then you are right. If "c" represents the

If you are talking about subluminal speeds, you are absolutely right.

That depends on what you mean by "c". If like PD says is carrots, it could
also be Coca Colas then you are right. but if you refer to the physics
entity called c then you are definately wrong.
"c" has to be a constant for Maxwells equations for electric and magnetic
fields to be true in all inertial reference systems. c has the dimension of
speed and it just so happens that within the precision we can measure "c" is
the speed of light which should not be surprising since light is
electromagnetic waves.

If "c" represents "carrots", then you are right. If "c" represents the
speed of light, then you are probably wrong.

You think I am wrong about speeds being relative and not constant
to all observers?


The speed known in physics as "c" is constant to all observers other speeds
are relative to the observer, however it is not so with a speed "a" that
a+a=2a if we are precise enough in measuring a and a+a. How precise we need
to be is best explained by letting a be the speed of a jet fighter. If a
trip around the world with the speed a takes the time 2t then it would of
course that the time t with the speed 2a, but with the speed a+a it would
take the time t' where t'>t but t'-t would just be a fraction of a second.

If you are talking about subluminal speeds, you are absolutely right.
If you are talking about the speed of light, you are definitely wrong.

So you would say that when a lightbulb is turned on
the east and west light fronts are not flying away from
each other at 2c?
You have a big problem if they don't do such.
I think you should rethink the simple fact that
1c+1c=2c with speeds or carrots or Coca Cola.
It is correct for any identical objects and always will be.

"c" has to be a constant for Maxwells equations for electric and magnetic
fields to be true in all inertial reference systems.

It only has to be a constant speed in vacuum and not observer independant.
I suggest you re-look at Maxwells works.

The speed known in physics as "c" is constant to all observers <snipped>

Wrong,
It can not be.
There is no speed that is constant to all observers.
Do you always ignore relative speeds like that?

Are you sure he is a real person? If he is he must be a Troll since I find
it impossible for a person to be that stupid and still being able to write
understandable English. If there was a law against stupidity more than 99%
of Spaceman's posts would be violating such a law.


So John,
You think I am wrong when I state stuff like 1c + 0.5c = 1.5c?

No, you are completely correct. You are right that the failure of
such an idea in SR is indeed due to the clocks, being composed of
matter, screwing up. It is always possible to arbitrarily consider one
local reference frame "the" absolute reference frame: in which case,
refered to this frame, all velocities and relative velocities add just
as you say. A particle moving away from us at .9c is moving away from
a second particle moving away from us in the same direction at .5c at
..4c. _As seen by us_. An observer on the .5c particle would have a
different idea of the situation, but we can tell this is only because
his clock is screwed up by motion. Your are, and always have been,
absolutely right, no matter what anybody tells you!
But just one thing: the second observer could take the same approach,
and conclude that our clocks were messed up by motion. And, it is both
mathematically possible, and apparently not contradicted by any known
physical observation, that the situation is completely symmetrical, and
indeed all laws of physics have exactly the same form in our frame and
the frame moving at .5c with respect to us, and indeed in any frame
moving at any fixed relative velocity with respect to us.

You think I am wrong about speeds being relative and not constant
to all observers?

Oh yeah... the other amazing thing about this mutual clock screwing is
that it is mathematically possibly -- and apparently not contradicted
by observation -- for _all_ moving clocks to screw up in just such a
way as to make each observer calculate the speed of light as as
constant, c. Maybe this is less amazing if you consider that light is
a physical process, and as long as all physical processes change
because of some state of relative motion or other systemic alteration,
it's plausible everything will look the same in the changed system --
including our idea of the natural speed of propagation of light. What
intuition doesn't prepare us for is the idea that there may be an
continuum of such uniformly changed systems, each looking identical
from the inside.

No, just that it has any applicability to the determination of the
relation of velocities in two different frames in relative motion to
each other when this relation doesn't even apply in Newtonian physics
(in general), much less in Minkowski physics. Velocities aren't even
numbers in the first place, so the relation above (which pertains to
numbers) has nothing to do with the question of how velocities combine.
The correct relation (for Galilean relativity) is: v' = u + Rv (not v'
= u + v), where R is the rotation matrix relating the two frames in
question. That can give magnitudes anywhere from |v'| = |u| - |v| to
|v'| = |u| + |v| or anywhere in between. And, technically, the proper
relation to consider is the entire relation between the coordinate
frames, (x', t') = (Rx + vt + a, t + b) (for a general Galilean
transformation) and (x'', t'') = (R'x' + v't' + a', t' + b'), which
yields
(x'', t'') = (R'Rx + R'vt + R'a + v't + v'b + a', t +
b + b')
and the "addition" laws
(R',v',a',b')*(R,v,a,b) = (R'R, R'v + v', R'a +
a', b + b').
Those are the correct relations, the velocities cannot be separated
from this larger context, and if you'll notice this is NOT the addition
of numbers. Addition has little to do with it.
Nonetheless, it satisfies most of the laws of arithmetic
Associativity: (p*q)*r = p*(q*r)
Identity: p*e = p = e*p, where e = (I, 0, 0, 0)
Inverses: p*p' = e = p'*p, where (R,v,a,b)' =
(R^{-1},-R^{-1}v, -R^{-1}a, -b)
but NOT commutativity (p*q = q*p).
*This* is how you combine frame. Not by "adding numbers". I don't know
who ever gave you the idea that "adding numbers" is automatically and
absolutely identical to combining frames, velocities or otherwise, but
it's time you disabuse yourself of that notion, before your jet crashes
because you forgot all about the rotation matrix R.

It is a speed.

Is this a riddle?
How do you have a speed without a direction?

It is a speed.

Yawn.

Speeds do add like I stated.

(1) Speeds don't add; not even when velocities do.
|v+w| != |v| + |w|.
(2) It's not velocity "addition", but Galilean transformations; and
special cases thereof.
These are non-commutative.
Even for the vectors, addition can't be defined for them, in the first
place, since they're in different frames of reference. It requires
first establishing what direction corresponds to what axes from one
frame to another -- and that's the rotation matrix.
Without references to a correspondence bettween axes, they're in
completely different vector spaces, and no operations are defined
between them at all.

I am sorry you think basic algebra and the addition of fractions
is wrong.

transformations are for non true addition.

One larger frame of reference kills all your stupid thoughts
about multiple frames of reference.

The Universe does not like you telling it to be split into

You are too stupid for words. In fact I suspect an entirely new word needs

Rock Brentwood didn't say basic algebra and the addition of fractions

A room is not a frame of reference. A frame of reference
is a coordinate system. Said coordinate system may be
chosen to be in a fixed, stationary relationship with
a given object (such as a room), but it is not the object.

A room is not a frame of reference. A frame of reference

As Usual Greg is a moron and apparently could never figure
