My high school was at Hanford, Washington where we knew when something was a strategic ploy and when it was truth. I worked with Doppler radar on a navy ship recovering astronauts during Project Mercury; visited Nagasaki on the same tour, studied astronomy myself and for a while had a nice 12" Meade SCT. I took a BA in physics at Reed College, worked at Xerox, toured Europe and visited the Vatican, and my wife met Dr. James Watson, one of the discoverers of DNA.<br />I took a year of computers science at the University of Washington. I visited Palomar, the VA, and the VLA, and more and more things like that. I knew of the quantum scale with an Edmund Scientific spintharascope before I was in high school. My aunt gave me a copy of the Sourcebook on Atomic Energy, by Glasstone, which was classified, while I was in high school, and I was in Special Fast Learners classes then. I studied Latin and Russian languages. My father taught me a few words of Cherokee. All of this time I never saw a convincing argument or theory or proof of the Big Bang theory. <br /><br />I always was partial to the idea of a quantum theory of the Red Shift phenomenon. I knew well of Doppler shift, but Doppler shift is NOT appropriate for the spectral red shift observed in telescopes with spectroscopy, which I understand well.<br /><br />It took me a long time, and by the way it was only after I became so much more a believer in the Trinity, in God, and Christ and the Holy Ghost,that I began to make progress on the quantum theory. My first attempt on the internet was <br />feeble and far too simple-minded. Years passed and now I am in a retirement home...<br /><br />I fetched several more books, by Einstein and Planck and other writers of quantum and relativity theories. I found myself reading them easily, very much thanks to a meaningful sense of faith. It seemed red shift theory was sort of an insult to the pristine perfection of God's starlight, and that's a strong argument, of course.<br /><br />To begin with, though, the most important factor is that there is something absolutely constant about light, even from distant galaxies. There are two constants, the speed of light, c, and the Planck action quantum, h. I found the dimensions of physical constant in Woan's "Cambridge Handbook of Physics Formulas". I use other books of course, but Woan's is comprehensive and accurate. Taking care to keep the dimensions constant from the first in my speculations, and then theoretical, mathematical progress, I found that while the speed of light and the action quantum remain constant in numerical magnitude, the energy is conjugate to the wave-time in the photon quantum. This is by the well known equation, <br />E = h*nu. The wave-time is the time it takes for one undulation of the wave. Second, the momentum is conjugate to the waveLENGTH. Now it may be observed by the mathematician, that while the magnitude of the action quantum of action, and the magnitude of the speed of light are absolutely constant, and therefore have some Godlike character, the momentum, wavelength, energy and time are free to change WITHIN the photon quantum. It would be possible, therefore, for the energy to slowly diffuse into the wave-time, and the momentum to diffuse into the waveLENGTH. <br /><br />Working with this, it took months to understand that only something as small as the Planck constants could be among the solutions to the diffusion equation, whatever it is. There are the Planck Constant of course, and the Planck mass, and the Planck length, and the Planck time. <br /><br />These contain all the elements necessary to find the diffusion terms for the observed redshift, and that will ensure the existence of a theory that does not imply that the universe is temporal. or that it began with an explosion.<br /><br /><br />Yours sincerely, <br /><br />Michael Grant Lewis<br />Plooker's brotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15504149610776080978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565601.post-85529732195807472642018-08-09T12:23:38.740-04:002018-08-09T12:23:38.740-04:00Way cool.
