From: spudnik on
as the only known (to me) student of Bucky,
I say, he was Are Buckafka Fullofit on pi ... but, dood,
do you know the surfer's value?... it's not in _Synergetics_:
http://www.rwgrayprojects.com/synergetics/synergetics.html

>  Bucky Fuller explained that nature doesn't think pi is 3.1416...  

thus:
this reminds me of the old Ultraviolet Catastrophe,
when you take Hubble's opinion about the redshift,
being directly related to speeding-away ... and
there is no antilight; only antimatter.
what lies within the visible universe is still very,
very hard to elaborate, at very high redshifts, but
there are plenty of goofy theories.

thus:
unfortuantely for Olber, almost all of Universe is red-
shifted out of visible spectra, including most blue-
shifters, due supposedly to Hubble's being hounded
into saying that the shift is "Dopplerian."

thus:
the main, supposedly unsolved anomaly is that
the winters & nights are "warmer" than the days and
summers. now, how on Earth could that, be?

the problem is that, although the GCMs are frought
with nearly irreducible uncertainties re clouds & vapor,
virtually all of the changes that effect these are made
by men on land; whereas the hydro cycle at sea is some-
what more of a constant. that's why,
they call it, the Anthropocene (viz,
the typical passive solar take on the urban heat islands, and
the UNIPCC's supposed fudge-factor to cover them,
which never seems to come-up in the actual articles
in the actual journals).

thus:
R. Bucky Fuller was a funny guy, and your spiel about orbit
is a perfect counter to his blather about pi. on the other hand,
the vast majority of earth scientists don't know spherical trig.,
which Bucky did, in the command of a naval vessel,
just before radio came in (in their GCMs etc.,
the poles are singularities, as in a Mercator projection ... but
the space-science folks are *all* about the poles .-)
see color plates one & two in _Synergetics_.
http://www.rwgrayprojects.com/synergetics/synergetics.html

thus:
space-time is merely ordinary phase-space, properly seen,
a la Lanczos' use of quaternions -- Death to the lightcone;
long-live the lightcone-heads!
so, are biquaternions non-associative, like octonions?
poor Minkowski, made his bizzare slogan about time *qua* the
graphed *function*
on a piece of paper, and then he died, and that ain't electronics
*or*
rocketscience (like Bucky saith, It is *all* rocketscience .-)
the great geometer Minkowski, alas, puts his pants on,
one lightcone at a time, like any one else.

--No Cap and Trade Bailout for Wall Street and The City!
to whom it concerns;
as I comprehend it, after briefly speaking with Waxman at UCLA,
his bill does the same as his '91 cap&trade bill under HW,
on SO2 and NOx (viz, acid rain); that is, it is just a nostrum
of "frere trade." if Dubya had known that Kyoto was just
another cap&trade "free trade" nostrum, he'd have signed it, since
he has been thoroughly indoctrinated in the MBA school
on "British Liberal Free Trade" (cotton, sugar & slavery,
why the British organized and supported Secession
with ships & materiel) -- what the Revolution was about -- not just,
Taxation without representation, a la the Tea Party effetes and
the Encyclopedia Brittaninca!

Waxman perhaps has been too long on the job;
when I spoke to him at the Faculty Center, he seemed to be on drugs,
a marked difference form when I saw him in P.Palisades. anyway,
as I asked him, Why can't we just have a very small Carbon Tax,
instead of letting the arbitrageurs run the bull & bear hijinx?

as they say, the bears make money, the bulls make money, and
the hogs always get slaughtered.
none of the (two) experts, I have read or asked,
thought that a tax wouldn't work as well, just that
it was somehow politically impossible.

No I don't think it's required that every time you make a half-assed,
ill-informed assertion out of the blue that is obviously and patently
wrong, that you are owed ANY kind of explanation of what the
difference is. Since you only put in ten seconds' worth of
intellectual effort to generate the half-assed, ill-informed assertion
in the first place, then you are owed only comparable effort in return
from someone who actually is familiar with Michelson's work and
Maxwell's work at more than the Wikipedia level. In this case, what
you are owed is, "Nope, sorry, flat wrong. Try again."

You might find that if you actually spend more than ten seconds of
effort and more than a Wikipedia exposure to something before shooting
your mouth off about it, then you'll get a more serious and thoughtful
response.

Like I said, this is when you go into your usual stance of delusional
denial.

Just like you can not offer any physical explanation as to:

- The future determining the past
- Virtual particles which exist out of nothing
- Conservation of momentum does not apply to a downgraded photon pair
- A C-60 molecule can enter, travel through, and exit multiple slits
simultaneously without requiring energy, releasing energy, or having
a change in momentum.
- Matter causes physical space to be 'unflat' but not move

We can now add:

- How is Michelson's "aether displacement to the electric current"
different than Maxwell's displacement current?

to the list of things you can not explain.

The following are the most correct physical explanations to date:

- A C-60 molecule enters and exits a single slit while the associate
aether displacement wave enters and exits available slits
- The aether displaced by the matter which are the plates extends
past the other plate. The pressure exerted by the aether displaced
by the plates forces the plates together
- Conservation of momentum does apply to a downgraded photon pair.
When a photon is detected its wave collapses which determines its
spin. In order for the original photons momentum to be conserved,
the downgraded photon pair have opposite angular momentums.
- A C-60 molecule enters and exits a single slit while the associate
aether displacement wave enters and exits available slits
- Physical space is displaced by matter. Aether is displaced by
matter.
- Michelson's "aether displacement to the electric current" is the
same conceptually as Maxwell's displacement current.

What I said was Michelson's "aether displacement to the electric
current" is the same conceptually as Maxwell's displacement current.

Now, what is supposed to happen next is I am supposed to say to you
that if you think Michelson's concept of "aether displacement to the
electric current" is different conceptually than Maxwell's
displacement current then you are supposed to explain what the
difference is but as you always do with questions you can not answer
you go into your state of delusional denial.

http://home.netcom.com/~sbyers11/

Quote from Albert A Michelson's lecture circa 1899.

"Suppose that an aether strain corresponds to an electric charge, an
aether displacement to the electric current, aether vortices to the
atoms; if we continue these suppositions, we arrive at what may be one
of the grandest generalizations of modern science, namely that all the
phenomena of the physical universe are only different manifestations
of the various modes of motion of one all-pervading (substance), the
aether. The day seems not to distant when the converging lines from
many apparently remote regions of thought will meet on some common
ground. Then the nature of the atom and the forces called into play in
their chemical union, the interactions between these atoms and the
non-differentiated aether as manifested in the phenomena of light and
electricity , the structure of the molecule, the explanation of
cohesion, elasticity and gravitation, all of these will be marshaled
into a single compact and consistent body of scientific knowledge."

I would modify the statement to read:

"all the phenomena of the physical universe are only different
manifestations of the various states of one all-pervading (substance),
the aether."

http://www.tu-harburg.de/rzt/rzt/it/Ether.html

Albert Einstein:

"the state of the former is at every place determined by connections
with the matter and the state of the ether in neighbouring places"

I would modify the statement to read:

The state of the aether as determined by the connections with the
matter and the state of the aether in neighboring places is the
aether's state of displacement.

You must have missed this post:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_de_Broglie

"This research culminated in the de Broglie hypothesis stating that
any moving particle or object had an associated wave."

'Interpretation of quantum mechanics
by the double solution theory
Louis de BROGLIE'
http://www.ensmp.fr/aflb/AFLB-classiques/aflb124p001.pdf

"I called this relation, which determines the particle's motion in the
wave, "the guidance formula". It may easily be generalized to the case
of an external field acting on the particle."

"This result may be interpreted by noticing that, in the present
theory, the particle is defined as a very small region of the wave
where the amplitude is very large, and it therefore seems quite
natural that the internal motion rythm of the particle should always
be the same as that of the wave at the point where the particle is
located."

de Broglie's definition of wave-particle duality is of a physical wave
and a physical particle. The particle occupies a very small region of
the wave.

In AD, the external field is the aether. In a double slit experiment
the particle occupies a very small region of the wave and enters and
exits a single slit. The wave enters and exits the available slits.

For example, in the image on the right here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_choice_quantum_eraser#The_experi...
There are waves propagating both the red and blue paths towards D0.
One of the downgraded photon 'particles' is traveling either the red
or blue path towards D0. The lens causes the waves to create
interference which alters the direction the particle travels. One set
of downgraded photons is creating one of the interference patterns at
D0 and the other set of downgraded photons is creating the other.

It's all very easy to understand once you realize 'delayed-choice',
'quantum eraser', and the future determining the past is simply
misinterpreting what is occurring in nature.

In the image on the right here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_choice_quantum_eraser#The_experi...
When the downgraded photon pair are created, in order for there to be
conservation of momentum, the original photons momentum is maintained.
This means the downgraded photon pair have opposite angular momentums.
We will describe one of the photons as being the 'up' photon and the
other photon as being the 'down' photon. One of the downgraded photons
travels either the red or blue path towards D0 and the other photon
travels either the red or blue path towards the prism.

There are physical waves in the aether propagating both the red and
blue paths. The aether waves propagating towards D0 interact with the
lens and create interference prior to reaching D0. The aether waves
create interference which alters the direction the photon travels
prior to reaching D0. There are actually two interference patterns
being created at D0. One associated with the 'up' photons when they
arrive at D0 and the other interference pattern associated with the
'down' photons when they arrive at D0.

Both 'up' and 'down' photons are reflected by BSa and arrive at D3.
Since there is a single path towards D3 there is nothing for the wave
in the aether to interfere with and there is no interference pattern
and since it is not determined if it is an 'up' or 'down' photon being
detected at D3 there is no way to distinguish between the photons
arriving at D0 which interference pattern each photon belongs to. The
same for photons reflected by BSb and arrive at D4.

Photons which pass through BSa and are reflected by BSc and arrive at
D1 are either 'up' or 'down' photons but not both. If 'up' photons
arrive at D1 then 'down' photons arrive at D2. The opposite occurs for
photons which pass through BSb. Photons which pass through BSa and
pass through BSb and arrive at D1 are all either 'up' or 'down'
photons. If all 'up' photons arrive at D1 then all 'down' photons
arrive at D2. Since the physical waves in the aether traveling both
the red and blue paths are combined prior to D1 and D2 the aether
waves create interference which alters the direction the photon
travels. Since all 'up' photons arrive at one of the detectors and all
'down' photons arrive at the other an interference pattern is created
which reflects back to the interference both sets of photons are
creating at D0.

Figures 3 and 4 here:
http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/quant-ph/pdf/9903/9903047v1.pdf
Show the interference pattern of the 'up' and 'down' photons. If you
were to combine the two images and add the peaks together and add the
valleys together you would have the interference pattern of the
original photon. This is evidence the downgraded photon pair maintain
the original photons momentum and have opposite angular momentums.

Nothing is erased. There is no delayed choice. Physical waves in the
aether are traveling both the red and blue paths and when the paths
are combined the waves create interference which alters the direction
the photon 'particle' travels.

Experiments which will provide evidence of Aether Displacement:

Experiment #1:

Instead of having a single beam splitter BSc have two beam splitters
BSca and BScb. Have the photons reflected by mirror Ma interact with
BSca and have the photons reflected by mirror Mb interact with BScb.
Do not combine the red and blue paths. Have additional detectors D1a,
D2a, D1b, and D2b. Have the photons reflected by and propagate through
BSca be detected at D1a and D2a. Have the photons reflected by and
propagate through BScb be detected at D1b and D2b. If you compare the
photons detected at D1a and D1b with the photons detected at D0, the
corresponding photons detected at D0 will form an interference
pattern. If you compare the photons detected at D2a and D2b with the
photons detected at D0, the corresponding photons detected at D0 will
form an interference pattern. What is occurring is all 'up' photons
are being detected at one pair of detectors, for example D1a and D1b,
and all 'down' photons are being detected at the other pair of
detectors, for example D2a and D2b. Interference patterns do not even
need to be created in order to 'go back' and determine the
interference patterns created at D0.

Experiment #2:

Alter the experiment. When the downgraded photon pair are created,
have each photon interact with its own double slit apparatus. Have
detectors at one of the exits for each double slit apparatus. When a
photon is detected at one of the exits, in AD, the photon's aether
wave still exists and is propagating along the path exiting the other
slit. When a photon is not detected at one of the exits, the photon
'particle' along with its associated aether wave exits the other slit.
Combine the path the aether wave the detected photon is propagating
along with the path of the other photon and its associated aether
wave. An interference pattern will still be created. This shows the
aether wave of a detected photon still exists and is able to create
interference with the aether wave of another photon, altering the
direction the photon 'particle' travels.

Your inability to physically explain the following is evidence you
feign hypothesis:

- The future determining the past
- Virtual particles which exist out of nothing
- Conservation of momentum does not apply to a downgraded photon pair
- A C-60 molecule can enter, travel through, and exit multiple slits
simultaneously without requiring energy, releasing energy, or having
a change in momentum.
- Matter causes physical space to be 'unflat' but not move

The following are the most correct physical explanations to date:

- A C-60 molecule enters and exits a single slit while the associate
aether displacement wave enters and exits available slits
- The aether displaced by the matter which are the plates extends
past the other plate. The pressure exerted by the aether displaced
by the plates forces the plates together
- Conservation of momentum does apply to a downgraded photon pair.
When a photon is detected its wave collapses which determines its
spin. In order for the original photons momentum to be conserved,
the downgraded photon pair have opposite angular momentums.
- A C-60 molecule enters and exits a single slit while the associate
aether displacement wave enters and exits available slits
- Physical space is displaced by matter. Aether is displaced by
matter.

OK, so "physical construct" to you does mean a man-made structure with
