Merged Theory links Newtonian/Quantum the amazing Frank Znidarsic

Be careful... photons - unlike neutrinos - actually have zero (rest) mass, yet they still interact via gravity. Ever heard of gravitational lensing?

Sorry to ask again.... so if light can be bent by (large) gravity, does this mean the light waves/particles themselves are affected?
Or is it just spacetime that is bent and light follows whatever that curvature leads to?
 
Why do you assume this? What is your evidence for such "vortices" and how exactly do they fit into modern physical theories? Heck, what is your definition of a "vortex"?

Well, if you take water as a medium, there's vortices everywhere, meaning: circular motion. Like in the shower the drain will cause the water to form a vortex? Vortices I think are a subset of waves in general.

I find it hard to imagine a world abound with waves, but no vortices. Black Holes form vortices, temperature difference in climate form vortices (there's one right over Australia just now...).
What is the analogy in particle/wave physics? Is it "spin"?

and if the frequency of the light is the same as the frequency of the atom transition (which is the same as saying the photon has the same energy as the excited state)

That's interesting. That's pretty much what FZ writes in his paper. Except, he models it as some kind of "impedance matching", and he believes the vibration is always at 1,094... Mhz/m...
What could he mean?

Both. Light (photons) are affected in other ways by gravity, such as gravitational redshifting. My point is that even if you were to assume that neutrinos had no mass, that doesn't necessarily mean they don't interact via gravity.
 
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter#Composition


Historically, three categories of dark matter candidates have been postulated.[49] The categories cold, warm, and hot refer to the speed at which the particles are traveling rather than an actual temperature.

* Cold dark matter – objects that move at classical velocities[50]
* Warm dark matter – particles that move relativistically
* Hot dark matter – particles that move ultrarelativistically[51]


en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weakly_interacting_massive_particles

In astrophysics, weakly interacting massive particles or WIMPs, are hypothetical particles serving as one possible solution to the dark matter problem. These particles interact through the weak nuclear force and gravity, and possibly through other interactions no stronger than the weak force. Because they do not interact with electromagnetism they cannot be seen directly, and because they do not interact with the strong nuclear force they do not react strongly with atomic nuclei.

This combination of properties gives WIMPs many of the properties of neutrinos, save for being far more massive and therefore slower.

Dark matter must be mostly cold (slowmoving)
in order for galaxy formation to occur



WIMPS appear to be a very good candidate for dark matter.


Mechanical vibrations - within atoms - seems to be a reasonable assumption, yes? :boxedin:



Phonons can tunnel across a vacuum :cool:


physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/44027

Heat can be conducted across a nanometre-sized vacuum gap – something that was deemed impossible until now. So say researchers at the Air Force Research Laboratory in Ohio who have found that the heat is transferred via an effect called "phonon tunnelling" in which quantized molecular vibrations, called phonons, appear to traverse the forbidden zone.




Electrons can communicate with each other via phonon interaction, according to the hyperphysics site


hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/solids/coop.html#c2

multiple electrons can't collect into a single state because of the Pauli exclusion principle. Froehlich was first to suggest that the electrons act as pairs coupled by lattice vibrations in the material. This coupling is viewed as an exchange of phonons, phonons being the quanta of lattice vibration energy. Experimental corroboration of an interaction with the lattice was provided by the isotope effect on the superconducting transition temperature. The boson-like behavior of such electron pairs was further investigated by Cooper and they are called "Cooper pairs". The condensation of Cooper pairs is the foundation of the BCS theory of superconductivity.

Sorry Khan2012 the phonons don't really tunnel:

http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/44027
According to the AFRL team, the phonon tunnelling is driven by electric fields between the two objects. These electric fields, which exist because the work functions (the minimum of the tip and sample materials) are different, cause the microscope tip and its "image charge" inside a sample to vibrate in unison. In other words, the electric fields at the tip apex cause electrons in the top layer of the gold surface to vibrate at the same rate.
 
I find it hard to imagine a world abound with waves, but no vortices.

I take it you've never played guitar, or any other stringed instrument? Plenty of waves on those strings, but no vortices. Just because it's possible for waves to create vortices in some conditions does not mean that all waves must always produce vortices, or that all vortices must be a result of waves.

Don't you find it a little odd that none of your examples of vortices actually have anything to do with waves?

That's why I said I couldn't imagine a WORLD without vortices, not string instrument. Although you might consider your guitar a world of its own...

That has nothing to do with my statement, and the second part of your statement might just be false.

Oh, there are no waves in a fluid? A source of mechanical pull like gravity through a hole in your shower won't cause any waves?
I don't think so...
Maybe someone can clarify this.

On second thought, there ARE vortices in a guitar. When the string ploughs through the air after being released from your plectron, the air will form vortices in a direction opposite to the movement.

Not generally true. It depends on the details (frequency, amplitude, air pressure/density/viscosity).
 
Now look at THIS!

"“We will open up a heating plant of one megawatt in Athens, Greece this Fall,” Andrea Rossi told Ny Teknik.
Rossi is the inventor of the ‘energy catalyst’ demonstrated recently in Italy, that is based possibly on cold fusion."

*WTF*?!

EDIT:
And here's the interview with observing Prof. Giuseppe Levi (Univ. of Bologna)

Does anyone know this guy?

This seems too elaborate to be a hoax...

This is a derail, not on topic.
