Time is absolute In quantum mechanics like it is in Newtonian mechanics. However, since Newtonian mechanics does not allow for non-locality, it could be that the Newtonian sense of absolute time (N-Time) differs subtley from the Quantum Mechanical sense of absolute time (Q-Time). Perhaps the

"There's still a good bit of unfinished business with certain 18th-century breakthroughs that've languished.." That is correct. Physics students are misinformed by the physics establishment about physics history, especially missing out most of stuff in 18th century. -- Original

> So progression from 18th century theory of Boscovich to modern physics Fascinating, i was unaware of Boscovich's contributions, great first-principle reasoning though.. There's still a good bit of unfinished business with certain 18th-century breakthroughs that've languished, but don't get me

Andrew Just one thing: I assume that you mean the atom (including the bound electron) is neutral. If you mean that the bound electron (in its interaction with the nuclear Coulomb field) is uncharged EM field only, then this would be one of our incompatible assumptions. However, I am

Harry I think of it as precursor to Bohm's pilot wave theory - particles influenced by waves. Boscovich's theory is particles influenced by fields; and a disturbance in a field would be a wave. -- Original Message -- From: "H LV" To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Sent: Friday, 29 Apr, 22 At

Did Boscovich subscribe to a wave or a particle view of light? I wonder if electrons are "elementary points" and protons are "first order particles" in Boscosvich's scheme. https://youtu.be/w1vi0yk7BvU?t=248 harry On Fri, Apr 29, 2022 at 8:28 AM ROGER ANDERTON wrote: > Also > > (i) Boscovich
