Eureka: Light is Demystified

It isn't. Get an education.

Dear M.Parker:

Maxwell cannot do photoelectric effect.

...

Yes. Chekc your pockets and the surfaces near you for some relevance. You seem to have none.

Nonsense.

Hum

Simple, because its EMT is non-zero. Using photon EMT gives the observed light bending.

Al, you left out atomic spectroscopy. Not much, I know, but historically it is the basis of quantum mechanics.

If spacetime is curved, is the curvature convex or concave? Any clue?

But you have come to the right place, s.p., where a gang of idiots, morons and fanatics, from uncle rect-Al, at the bottom, to your namesake John Parker Andorcles at the top, are trying to rewrite physics as we know it. Then there are the hordes of Einstein Dingleberries, led by Tom Roberts & Bilge=Doug=Dono who dunno, because for them physics stopped between 1905 and 1916.... ahahaha...

So, repost your tripe and a whole bunch of them will land on your fly paper and try to convince you with buzzwords that you are an idiot.. ... No sarcasm! But thanks for the laughs... ahahahanson,

According to the works of Douglas Adams. spacetime is not merely curved but is instead positively twisted. He was the first to explain the observation of Comte Mede de Sivrac of France that the average gravitational gradient over any closed path was a positive nonzero value.

In an episode of "Mork & Mindy", Raquel Welch played the "bad guy". She was dressed in a form-hugging outfit that I can still remember... Anyway Mork looks at Raquel and says something like this to Mindy: "Einstein was right, space IS curved". ;)

All the lonely people. Where do they all come from?

It all depends on whether your on the inside of the univers looking out or on the outside looking in :)

You know how the little stuff slips through. Bohr explained hydrogen, then mathematical induction for the other elements, right? When spin-orbit coupling appears for heavy elements we'll use permutation methods to avoid rewriting to an ab inito correct theory. That is how proper phusics is done - needs more study not more thought.

Good answer, but I'm on the Earth looking out. Where do you live? Oh wait... Planet California... How's King Michael Jackson doing these days? L.A. smog will kill him. Ban smoking instead.

I think the other elements are (and will probably remain) a bit tricky. As far as mem chips can recall, only He/Na/Li/K I/II/III have empirical formulas similar to Bohr's for H, but in the later years it's conceivable that the list has grown further.

If anybody wants to have some serious physics fun, you can always ask someone to solve Schroedinger's equation for the simplest of these after H, say He. And see them fail spectacularly :-)

Nevertheless, it's amazing what kind of acrobatics a copiously meticulous student can do with atomic spectroscopy, once certain parameters are into place.

The following is based on NIST and is a bit longish, but it explains fairly well some of the major trends in the lighting industry. No physical experimentation in this doc. Only hard core thinking and programming. Consult as needed before you replace your kitchen light bulbs :-)

Back when I was a graduate student, in the late 1960's, one of my collegues used a purely numerical approach to "solve" Schroedingers wave equation for He. It worked tolerably well, and he was running his analysis on an IBM 7040/44 with 32k of 36-bit words of core memory at a clock rate of the order of a MHz.

Helium destroyed Bohr's phenomenological quantum theory. Successively heavier one-electron nuclei have increasingly larger Lamb shifts. Bohr still doesn't work.

One starts by assuming the nucleus is stationary, diddle the two electrons with confocal ellipsoial coordinates, then append a geometric series of correction factors. In other words... perturbation methods will path the holes of having ab initio wrong theory. Being wrong and jury-rig corrected for calculation is OK as such (e.g., Mercator projection maps), but disastrous for theory (e.g., economically steaming from Japan to Seattle, WA).

String and M-theory are mathematically elegant physical disasters, now boasting at least 10^(50,000) acceptable vacua. Simply put, both are rigorously derived and neither of them are correct.

Uncle Al exposed the weakness in late 1999: It is trivially observed that the vacuum is isotropic in the massless sector (photons). Linearly polarized EM from quasars does not rotate its plane of polarization through distance by frequency, radio to annihalation radiation. There is no vacuum refraction, dispersion, dichroism, or gyrotropy over billion lightyear optical paths.

NOBODY knows if the vacuum is isotropic in the massed sector. Do left and right shoes (chemically and macroscopically identical, opposite geometric parity atomic mass distributions) vacuum free fall identically? Load an Eotvos balance with opposed sets of solid single crystal test masses of left- and right-handed quartz. If a net non-zero signal emerges, all of physics is wrong without contradicting any prior observation.

Hells bells, quantized gravitation theories require supplementing Einstein-Hilbert action with a parity-violating Chern-Simons term. The patch for ab initio wrong theory! The universe is screaming at physics to pull its thumbs out of its collective ass.

Somebody should look.

Given any two irrational numbers 'x' and 'y' it is always possible to find integers j, k, m, n such that |(j)(x^m) - (k)(y^n)| < epsilon, where "epsilon" is arbitrarily small. One should not be impressed by such a relationship since one could find an arbitrarily large number of relationships as good or better by picking any other irrational number, like the Napierian base 'e', Euler's constant gamma, the Golden Ratio, any irrational square root, etc.

well

When pure theory cannot be reduced to practice, better is always the enemy of good enough The Senate of Rome thought they were above the stink. In AD 476 the stink rose to the challenge.

The first kilowatt short arc lamp (police helicopter giant lights) refused to exist for a year of frenzied analysis and experimentation at Optical Radiation Corporation. There was a very big, literally armored sphere in which candidates would BOOM! every few days.

Desperation set in during the last month of the military contract. So desperate was management that it allowed the quartzblower and the tungsten electrode fabricator - both tradesmen with no formal education - to take a whack at it where a whole room of sophisticated suit- and tie-wearing engineers had massively, sustainedly failed.

One guy wanged together two tungsten electrodes that didn't look right at all. The quartzblower blew a fused silica envelope absent all calculations for stress - because it looked right to him. He sealed the electrodes in their ports. The lamp was pumped out and backfilled with a smidge of argon, a bit of mercury, and some lanthanide iodides to spread the specrum. It was mounted in the armored sphere, everybody cleared the Hell out, and an impressively large circuit breaker was thrown.

1100 watts. The lamp stayed lit, the armor shell eventually glowed dull red, the project went to prototyping. I knew Matt, the quartzblower. Management didn't even say "thank you."
