What quantities in physics are more real? We physically represent a photon as two coaxial sinesoidal amplitudes of elec- tric and magnetic fields, respectively. But what is a photon, really. Or an electron is a negatively charged particle subject to the forces of electric and magnetic fields. But, what is an electron. We can identify the presence (at least past presence) of a rabbit by the distinctive tracks it makes in the snow but that really doesn't tell us what a rabbit is. They can be lovely warm cuddly little rodents. I think we can predict very much about simple electromagnetic phenomena, but I really don't think we understand it. What I am after is to deepen our understanding. By understanding things better we may be able to simplify physics even more and be able to predict a great deal more of the physics phenomena which now can not be predicted. To answer or shed more light on what I was talking about, (see above), I think that there exists three very separate places where information can exist and at least in two of them con- stantly changes, although at significantly different average rates. In the beginning there was only one dimensional space. Nothing existed outside of this space, and there was only one object in this space. Time was meaningless in the sense that the information density (field density, energy density) is infinite there so time is frozen in the present. Another way of looking at it is that there is no past and no future, because the present has crowded them out. Then existence (information..) was released into a two dimensional space and a multiplicity of objects formed. And, later still information was released into three space. Now the amount of information in three space is not infinite (existence, energy) and so the space is grainy. But that space is quasi con- tinuous by virtue of the fact existence (information) operators of that space are delta functions. Now it turns out that both two space and three space can be mapped into 1 space (an infinite number of times). Without information in three space there is no coordinate system, no measure or no points. Introduction of a single neutron in to three space (infinitesimal micro big bang) would generate that "metric". Let's back up and look at it from another point of view. A movie represents reality so much so we pay to observe it. As a "rom" reality, it has some interesting parallels with "our observed reality". First there is limited information (but con- stant in average grain number) for each time frame. Second, time passes the way it does in "reality", time is the hand over hand creation and annihilation of "information frames". A better reality (one which automatically creates "particles") is the display we obtain by viewing a television monitor displaying information it receives from a television camera which its self is viewing the screen of the same monitor. Such a model has "ram". What seems to be a grey blank screen suddenly becomes "alive" with worms or vorticities, in other words "pseudo parti- cles". Relativity can be invoked also. Digitize the signal at a set rate. Then the time it takes to "paint" the new frame is longer if there is a higher "information or grain density". Time dilates. The framing rate goes down. This is similar to a pho- ton "eating its way" through the various information displays of our reality. Simplest is its path through a gravitational field (vacuum). But it takes longer the higher the "grain" density of the gravitational field is. This hypothesis is moving toward the concept that "parti- cles" aren't just a "display of information", but rather a combi- nation or dual entity which has both "operator" and "information array" components. Further creation and annihilation functions are coupled. But enough said for now. Certainly I did not want to talk of the "ordinary or trivial" view of one and two dimen- sional spaces, which are "subsets" of three space. The one space and two space I spoke of has quite the opposite meaning. For now, get your self a video camera and monitor and go make an artificial "reality". It's actually fun. Then write the laws of motion for your "pseudo particles" or observe their "half life". - - NOTE: MAIL PATH MAY DIFFER FROM HEADER - - +-------------------------------------------------------+--------+ | Paul M.
