Discussion concerning the first major re-evaluation of Dewey B. Larson's Reciprocal System of theory, updated to include counterspace (Etheric spaces), projective geometry, and the non-local aspects of time/space.
I have created an "RS2 Presentations" forum as a repository of large files for use with RS2 presentations, such as Powerpoint slides, animated GIFs, large images or other reference material. If your total file size is in excess of 75k, please upload to the RS2 Presentations, as that forum is not linked to an email list and our dial-up users of the regular forums will not have to spend the day downloading email. But please keep discussion in the main forums, so they can continue to contribute without having to visit the website.
It occurs to me that the uncharged electron, in RS2, is a cosmic particle--a rotating unit of space in the space region. As such, like the c-neutrino counterpart, it should also move faster-than-light. That is, faster than a photon being carried by the progression of the natural reference system.
Consider: the electron is just "additional space" at a unit-speed location on the natural reference system. The photon is locked on to that location and is carried by it. Therefore, the electron will cover "more space" in the same amount of time than a photon will--it will appear to move faster-than-light.
Here is some basic information on how different theories, Relativity, Reciprocal System (RS) and the Reevaluation (RS2) view the relations of space and time. In the animations below, the dimension of space is red, and the dimension of time is blue (clock time is the animation sequence, not the blue objects).
While encountering the concept of non-locality, there is one thing that we are probably skimming over... that non-locality need not necessarily be localized only in the reciprocal aspect, but merely in a higher dimension.
For example, let us take a line... 1 Dimension. In Line-land, the distance between two points is all that can be measured, and let us say it is some value x. Now, if I take the same line, but loop it and form a circle, in 2 Dimensions, then I can make a circle with circumference = x, such that the starting and ending point of the previous line segment coincide. With respect to the 1D situation however, NOTHING has changed, the two are still separated by x. What is non-local in 1D is localized in 2D.
Hi Bruce, You must have seen the latest news about the neutrinoes and faster than C. What's you take on this? Are they not taking into account the amount of coordinate time involved in the 730km, or could it be the absolute velocity of the earth that is not considered? I don't know myself, just thought I would get your opinion. Cheers, Robin.
I have not found much information as to their experimental setup, nor how they were able to pace neutrinos against photons to get the speed difference, but based on past experience with assumptions in physics experiments, I can make an educated guess as to what is going on.
First, consider that they are measuring "velocity", not scalar speed. And they are unaware of both the progression of the natural reference system and temporal motion, which is what particles and atoms are made of.
I was thinking about how "unit acceleration" (for lack of a better term) would interact with the progression to produce non-uniform motion, per Gopi's discussion on Photons and Electrons.
Had been thinking about the nature of sound. It ties up very closely with the matter-view of the world, or the motion view of the world.
Consider a sound, being propagated through space... it is in essence a pressure wave, a series of compressions and rarefactions. It can manifest as a longitudinal wave in fluids, while in solids it can also be transverse.
