Nowhere among your attempts to 1) establish yourself as an authority on all things that we [know or]do not yet know about science, or 2) your attempt to justify dedicating your career to string theory where you seem to be satisfied with the results, or 3) in the demonstrations of your character traits in regards to how far off topic you are willing to go to build straw men that you can use to attack anything but the ideas, or 4) your insistence that my thread be what you want [it to be or say it is] and not what it is intended to be, is there even one instance of addressing the ideas presented from the perspective that we cannot quantify them because we don’t yet have the ability to observe the physics taking place there.
Your general response can be summarized as saying that my ideas are worthless because we can’t quantify them. Whereas my general intention is to state my ideas in depth, and hope that some in the community will see something in my presentation that they find interesting.
For example the idea of quantum action described above which includes the idea that it establishes the presence of mass in phase 2, the high density spot phase, and it initiates the negative energy density that plays the determining role in the cause of gravity by creating a potential void in space as phase 2 occurs.
Your response is a call for quantification or for a framework or just simply a chance for you to refer to you credentials from which you know there is no merit to the ideas. This is the application of fallacious response number 1 and 4 as described above.
Another idea that could be of interest is the idea that as phase 4 occurs there is a quantum wave generated out of the energy that just prior to that had established the presence of mass. Mass was established by the high density spot, quantum action proceeded to cause the expanding spherical wave out of the collapsed quantum, and the wave expands spherically with an infinite reach in space as a wave crest following closely behind the wave trough generated by the void in space.
In my simple graphic of the wave form I tried to show the effect of the collapse of the space occupied by the quantum of energy as a trough in a spherical wave.
It is hard to show that graphically but the spherically collapse of the space occupied by the quantum of energy is the red portion of the spherical wave and the trough of the wave form. This is the “pull” that I refer to in the process of quantum action. The expansion phase is the green portion of the spherical wave which I show inside the red sphere to establish the order in which the spherical actions occur. The red sphere actually collapses to an incredibly small high density spot that has extreme energy density. This occurs in an instant, perhaps the shortest meaningful time in QWC. The collapse precedes the “bounce” that initiates expansion. The green sphere potentially expands out into the aether with an infinite reach. You can see that the graphic leave a lot to be said about the wave form but I present it for discussion. Questions could be asked about it and that would be on topic because such a question would lead to a discussion of the ideas and an exchange of ideas perhaps.
As the wave passes through the mass and before it reaches the aether that surrounds mass, that quantum of energy in the wave intersects and overlaps with adjacent quantum actions that capture some of its energy and delay it in its journey to the aether. That is called containment as I explained earlier in the thread. It is consistent with the time delay that is characteristic of the net negative energy emanation of the mass. Containment and the time delay are simple concepts that play a role in the cause of gravity, and they are directly connected to quantum action that also establishes the presence of mass.
These are ideas that I offer for discussion. It would be appropriate to discuss them from the standpoint that there is no evidence or quantification if it weren’t for the fact that I refer to that in the OP where I address the intention of presenting the ideas. So it is not only redundant to request quantification of quantum action, but I have addressed the lack of quantification in response to your repeated requests for it. Those requests fall into category 4 of the fallacious response methods identified above.
A more appropriate and on topic response might be to ask what the time delay and containment are or how they are important to mass or gravity. Or a person might ask how negative energy could even exist, or how a wave can be created by a collapsing sphere of energy followed by an expanding wave of energy, or any number of question that address the ideas.
Earlier I said:
QW said:
Explain to me why you take exception to my logic that mass and gravity are related, that they might have a common cause?
You replied:
I didn't say they weren't related. I said I think it's silly to assume their cause is simple to understand. Also I said that your statement it's logical for the cause to be 'quantum action' is silly.
I said:
QW said:

AlphaNumeric said:
Why should the explaination be common? Why should everything in the universe be instantly understandable to someone who spends absolutely zero time examining the universe beyond the end of their nose?
This is an example of a combination of several of the fallacious response types identified above. You went on:
You're saying it's logical to expect the universe, from the smallest length in a nucleus to the superclusters which span the billions of light years of the cosmos all behave like phenomena experienced in the every day life of a person living in a 1st world country in some tiny tiny tiny tiny speck in said cosmo.
Yikes, I said THAT? No I didn’t. That is an example of fallacious response type 3.
You went on:
Yeah, that's bloody logical.
Here is an example of fallacious response type 1 where you set yourself up as the authority on all science not yet discovered. Also it comes across as if your are saying that because you have a degree and are working on a PhD, that what you say about logic carries more weight than someone else’s logic. Maybe I should make that fallacious response type 5. It also has a ring to it that you are the final arbiter of what sound logic is and what faulty logic is. By your highness stating that I am not logical, that makes it so on the weight of your credentials. Chalk up another 20 crackpot points for yourself every time you use that fallacious response.
Firstly, quantum mechanics is not a straight forward or simple thing. Secondly, given nothing you've ever posted shows you can do any quantum mechanics, mainstream or otherwise, you are simply doing the crackpot version of "Let's call that explaination 'God'" that religious people do when faced with a question they can't answer. And thirdly, you have yet to demonstrate anything resembling a single coherent model, actual quantum mechanics or otherwise, can explain both phenomena. You can't provide me with a single phenomenon you can actually describe.
I’m trying to find in there where you address a particular idea and actually discuss it from the perspective that I offer the ideas as outlined in the OP. I can’t find anything on topic, just an accumulation of fallacious response types as identified above. Can you identify the fallacy types yourself or do you want me to do it for you?

But I didn’t actually say that, I said:
QW said:

“ Originally Posted by quantum_wave

Do you see the difference?
You went on to say,
AlphaNumeric said:
Firstly, you provide no reason why it should be quantum mechanical, secondly you don't provide any decent definition of what 'quantum action' is and thirdly, given you don't know any quantum mechanics its not a stretch to conclude you're simply giving things buzzword names. Like my example said, saying "Quantum action did it" is as vacuous as saying "God did it" if you can't elaborate on the details.
To clarify the difference between what I said, and what you say I said is a full time career.
However it is not difficult to see the fallacious response techniques you use. Can I infer that you are implying that I am equating QWC with QM? If so that is fallacy response type 3. Of course type 1 and type 4 come into play when you pass judgment that QWC is like invoking “God did it”. Why not show a particular idea and explain what it requires intervention from on high?
Let the future readers if there are any decide who has the high ground here. QWC and its predecessor, the ISU have been around for awhile and will out last you if history can be relied on.
In the earlier post I said and you quote me:
quantum_wave said:
Explain to me how you can say that we can see there is no quantum action at the quantum level.
And you respond:
Define what 'quantum action' is.
Read post #25 again and instead of ignoring it and then waving it off as not an acceptable “definition of quantum action” try to view it from the perspective that it is offered. That requires several steps. Read it, think about it, respond to it by linking to my exact words, and then say anything you want. I can defend what I have said and if I can’t I will admit it, and revise QWC correspondingly.
The perspective is that we don’t know what causes mass and gravity. I think there is a clear relationship between them. I suggest the ideas of QWC include a possible connection between the two and that connection is quantum action. I then explain what I mean by quantum action. I didn’t actually pull it out of my ass as you think, it was developed over time with input from others.
And then you say:
AlphaNumeric said:
Define what 'quantum action' is.
For God’s sake man, at least read this stuff before you wave it off. Fallacious response method 1 is expanded to include that you don’t even have to set eyes on my posts to use method 1 or 5. Who is invoking God here, me or you? I say it has to be you if you know what is written without reading.
In addition, I don’t know how to interpret your stance. It brings to mind the thought that you did not read it of course, or did you somehow pass over it without noticing it, or are you being uncharacteristically subtle to imply the even though I went into some detail on what I am talking about in the idea of quantum action, you wave if off as not being an acceptable description?
quantum_wave said:
I was thinking of the quantum level as a level of the physical universe where the mass of the "fundamental particles" of the standard particle model is caused and established. We can't detect physical mechanisms at that level yet. And I have explained the distinction between QWC and QM but you may not acknowledge that.
To which you say:
Alphanumeric said:
This is vague. 'Caused and established'. Explain, in detail, what this actually means.
We’ve been through the lexicon thing. Those words are in the QWC lexicon and are therefore impossible for someone with so little knowledge of QWC to even fathom. Sorry, but maybe if you actually read some QWC you would have a better idea what the words mean.
The Standard Model has its masses induced by the Higgs mechanism at about 150GeV. The process of spontaneous symmetry breaking is detailed and thoroughly explained in a great many books or websites. Where's QWC's version of that?
I know about the theory. Mass is caused by extreme energy density at the earliest stages of expansion, and if you had read QWC you could see it is consistent. Only in QWC the cause of the extreme energy density is a big crunch. What is the cause of the extreme energy density in the Higgs theory? Please don’t wave this off since it is a serious question even though it is buried in the response to your off topic responses to my responses to your responses.
As for the distinction between QWC and QM, QM is a very developed, precise, predictive description of nature derived from postulates. QWC is stuff you make up on the fly.
Fallacious responses 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Bingo. I knew you could do it.
I said and you quoted:
quantum_wave said:
Address my ideas and tell me what it is about the ideas of energy density that won't work if there is a quantum realm?
To which your replied:
Still don't get it do you? Physics isn't "I'll guess something randomly and then keep elaborating it forever, without rhyme or reason or logic", you need to pin down your postulates.
At least response type 4. Do you see it? Make the thread into what you want it to be and if it doesn’t meet your expectations you insist I make it meet them? Read the OP.
You have no clue what energy density is because you think there is no aether. You think spacetime is curved and mass falls into gravity wells. You think that only God knows what caused the initial expansion of the universe and you probably don’t believe in God, though you seem to act like you are commissioned by God.
Tell me, what method are you using to develop QWC? If you have two different mechanisms for the same process, how do you know which is actually QWC and which isn't? If you can't articulate that then it is *IMPOSSIBLE* to develop QWC scientifically because there's no way to check developments. Anyone else working on it has to ask you "Is this QWC or not?" and you're the decider. It's like a religion where the members have to ask the head guy "Is this God's will or not?" because they don't have a holy book. Rather than allowing independent investigation of 'Gods word' everyone must listen to the cult leader since he's the only one with the information and he ain't sharing. It's a cult of personality. You (and many other cranks) are the same. You can't write down something for other people to develop independently, you are the one and only one who can say "Yes that's right" or "No, that's not in my theory". I don't need to email Witten, Green or Schwarz to ask "Is this in string
theory?" because the formalism of the theory, which they and others wrote down in books and papers, allows me to check. Crank theories are the science version of religious cults and you're trying to get people to drink the coolaid.
It shouldn't be you saying "So tell me what's wrong with the idea of energy density?!", it should be me saying "So tell me your description of energy density". You provide zero reason to think your claims are anything other than random guesses put together. Can you show they aren't?
Yikes again. Make this thread into the preamble to the constitution or the constitution will never get written. You are using many fallacies here. I refer you again to the OP. What I am doing and why I am doing it is there. Your fantasy of what you want me to be doing and saying is off topic. I wonder if I can find anything on topic in your posts. If not, maybe there is a way that we can split them off into a new thread that belongs to you so you can characterize my ideas to fit your desires and still be on topic.
quantum_wave said:
Your general response can be summarized as saying that my ideas are worthless because we can’t quantify them.
To which you said:
You can't provide me with any reason to think they are not just random guesses. You can't provide me with any reason to think QWC is better than any other crank aether theory. You can't provide me with any way to allow me to develop QWC without you, if I wanted to.
If you died tomorrow how would anyone develop QWC? Without you saying "That is QWC, but that isn't" how could anyone know? They couldn't, because you have no sound basis for your claims. And you seem incapable of grasping this.
I grasp it. But you are using #4 again. This thread is about what I say it is in the OP. To make it into some road map for the future of science is you again applying your fallacious response techniques. My response is that I am not trying to guide or influence the course of science; I am offering ideas to the community here at SciForums that I want to discuss. If I can make them sound a little interesting and therefore get some discussion I am happy. Do I think the ideas are things that no one has ever thought of before? Not at all. I draw on ideas of others, I come up with ideas on my own that are similar, and some that are probably new, but I don’t know if they are or not for sure. Maybe in your role of knowing all science and science not yet discovered you have the inside track.
I said and you quote:
quantum_wave said:
Whereas my general intention is to state my ideas in depth, and hope that some in the community will see something in my presentation that they find interesting and that will spark a conversation. Such a conversation would hopefully lead to improved ideas or to how they could be quantified or falsified.
To which you reply:
If you could answer my questions you'd have succeeded in explaining your work in depth and provided a way for people to develop it. But you haven't. Instead you whine I'm insulting you with statements I didn't make.
Cranks always complain I'm being nasty and should go away. You want to know how to do that? Put me in my place by answering my questions clearly, directly and properly. I have never had a crank manage that. They'll proclaim they have the answers then spend more time whining why they won't tell me than they would have spent typing up the actual answers!
I have been explaining that your questions are not related to the thread but are fallacious responses 1,2,3,4, and 5 as explained above. I have given some examples of your questions and responses and have contrasted them with the OP and what would be on topic and off topic. I have responded where the question was not based on a fallacious response type as I have identified above.
I said and you quote:
quantum_wave said:
not your type of response that says in am an idiot for stating them and seeking to discuss them after someone of you stature had presented an onslaught based on your own agenda as clearly described in the first paragraph.
To which you responded:
Yes, my 'agenda' is to point out when someone is not going science and is simply trying to dupe people into believing stuff they have made up without basis or method. I don't say 'you're wrong' because I worry string theory is under attack, I say "You're wrong" or "You've not provided anything remotely worth looking at" because *it's the truth*.
At least you are consistent. I am only doing science to the extent that ideas play a role in science. I am not trying to dupe people into accepting something that I present as science fact and for you to imply that is among the fallacies I point out above. The ideas come from the sources I mentioned in this thread in response to your earlier statements.
I draw on ideas of others, I come up with ideas on my own that are similar, and some that are probably new, but I don’t know if they are or not for sure.
To expand on that statement, probably five years ago I started a thread on something like, “what if we started trying to explain the things we observe from the bottom up? There is a complete history of the development of QWC ideas on the internet and if anyone for some unknown reason wanted to go back to the beginning they would see how it was developed in a step by step fashion from a very basic starting point. That is five years of threads where I claim to have applied reasonable and responsible step by step speculation, where I offered the speculation to the communities and received feedback, and modified the ideas as I went.
I used to call what is now the process of quantum action just the result of a single pulsing elementary energy particle. It didn’t form in the overlap of intersecting quantum waves, it was just a pulsing energy particle called the EEP that had always existed. The EEP evolved into quantum action base on many discussions of science topics from many different presumably responsible science forum members. Of course there has always been the AlphaNumerics out there so though you think your fallacious response techniques are effective at driving off people who do what you say I am doing, pulling stupid ideas out of my ass, you missed the history of how QWC was developed, and you over estimated yourself in the process.
I used to call the universe, “The Infinite Spongy Universe”. It is very descriptive but in discussing arenas and arena action, concepts that were built from various discussions and brainstorming about a way that might explain how entropy is defeated, it turned out that if “arena action” was very similar to “quantum action”, and if the landscape of the greater universe was composed of arenas in various stages of “arena action”, then entropy could be defeated. The idea stuck and leads to many more ideas where details of quantum action were sparked by ideas about arena action, and ideas about arena action were sparked by quantum action. You probably missed where I have discussed the similarities, or blew them off. The name Quantum Wave Cosmology followed when the ISU seemed to be the old ideas. The update process is like the quality process, continual improvement is the goal. I know you have some witty remarks for every statement that I make that could be considered person to person. I am OK with my ways of presenting and saying what I think.
Defeating entropy is an important part of QWC. Do you understand why? No, because you never asked (and as you said, you don't care).
Most people understand the idea of a big crunch so that helps people understand quantum action. Some people who read and think about quantum action can better understand arena action.
You also have no conception of QWC even though you have read some of the words. You haven’t thought about them and that sets you apart from those who have intentionally contributed, but that groups you with those called by higher authority to weed out cranks and crackpots by waving your arms. Actually I know that technique works and I have been tempted to use it myself, but I was concerned that if I went in to a forum and played God Almighty, it might just piss people off and they aren’t inclined to discuss QWC even if there was something interesting about it if I did that. With you, I hope you get pissed off because you are taking the low road in dealing with me and all the others you claim to be attacking. You are unfortunately chasing away some fine young people who are just developing their own ideas. Mum and Dad would be so proud as Prom says.
I am working on Quantum Wave Cosmology, it is a set of evolving ideas that I freely share for discussion, and that I am continually improving on from outside input, like from you. You don’t’ really intend to help in the evolution but you are. And so did Prometheus, and so did every other “AlphaNumeric” out there that has confronted me with the typical put downs and clichés.
Not that how I developed QWC makes it anything more than my personal cosmology, but there have been hundreds of people who contributed in one way or another over the years, some like you and some actually who took some interest in what I was doing.
I guess you aren’t sufficiently amused yet. I assure you that you are only one of a number of people on the net that seem to think they are called by some higher authority to pass judgment on cranks and crackpots.
Prove I'm wrong, that my agenda is blinding me. Answer my questions.
I assume that you are not done with me and will have some witty clichés and boring put downs to accompany your next response. Try to include some little helpful tidbits that actually are on topic and that apply to the ideas that are presented as QWC.
Let me quote from
post #28
I'm hardly hanging around to specifically talk about it, am I? Since you and I last crossed paths many months ago I've told a lot of other cranks they are cranks, I've asked a lot of questions to particular people and I've helped plenty of people. The fact I've not replied to you in months, despite your frequent posting on QWC shows that I don't give a hoot about it. Instead I've decided to mildly amuse myself with you once again on pretty much a whim. I happened to see Prom had replied and I thought I'd take a look. And low and behold, he has said much the same as I did, independently. It's almost as if people who know physics reach the same conclusions, that you don't know physics.
You flatterer you.
