RE: Neutrino shield idea
My understanding is that the experimental evidence of Mercury's orbit preceded Einstein's general theory. There nothing wrong with qualitative explanations, especially if they turn out to be correct. Copernicus' predictions were qualitative. Who knows my theory might match the experimental data to 10 places. -Original Message- From: Jesse Mazer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 5:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; everything-list@eskimo.com Subject: RE: Neutrino shield idea John Ross wrote: I have not dealt with Mercury's orbit. This is one of the most important experimental confirmations of general relativity. Were you even aware of it? My theory can explain the double slit results just as well as any other theory, better than most. Quantitatively? Can you predict the exact probability distribution for the particle to hit different locations on the screen, in both the case where its path is measured and the one where it isn't? I have not tried to calculate the muon magnetic moment. The magnetic moment anomaly, not the magnetic moment. This is widely considered one of the most successful predictions in physics, experimentally verified to something like eight decimal places. My theory does however predict that a muon is nothing more than a high energy electron that has obtain its energy by capturing the entron of a high energy photon. That's a non-quantitative prediction, and I have no idea what experiment you're proposing to test it. Are there *any* quantitative predictions from either general relativity or quantum field theory (not ordinary nonrelativistic QM) that your theory can reproduce? I'm sure the answer is no, since few people who haven't done a graduate degree in physics have much detailed familiarity with these subjects (I don't), and your comment about GR earlier revealed a lack of familiarity with some pretty basic concepts, not to mention your attempt to overturn theories about neutrinos based only on eyeballing some pictures of particle tracks.

RE: Neutrino shield idea
Right on Russell! Has anyone ever measured the spin of a neutrino? Let's get back to basics? Let's consider the following which I assume you fellows believe are true: * Neutrino travel at the speed of light. * Only photons travel at the speed of light. (Except my tronnies that usually go faster than the speed of light.) * Neutrinos easily pass through matter although occasionally some are stopped, gamma rays (the closest things to neutrinos according to the Ross Model) pass through matter although some are stopped. Gamma ray energies are in the range of 1 mev, neutrino energies are in the range of 300 mev. * Our sun produces a lot of neutrinos. Neutrino flux decreases as inverse square of distance as does gravity. * No other theory provides a good explanation of the force of gravity. (I don't call mass curving space as a good explanation.) * Does anyone have a good explanation why the electromagnetic chart should stop at about 4 or 5 mev? -Original Message- From: Russell Standish [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 07, 2005 5:39 PM To: Stephen Paul King Cc: everything-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: Neutrino shield idea On Fri, Oct 07, 2005 at 09:02:17PM -0400, Stephen Paul King wrote: Dear Russell, I hope you meant to write that photons are bosons with spin1.

Yes my theory involves a lot of math. Have you read my patent application? For example, I have a quantitative description of Coulomb forces acting inside photons. These integrated forces represent the photon's energy. Do these equations allow you to predict quantitative results of experiments that have already been done, or are you just using math to describe new phenomena (like 'Coulomb forces acting inside photons') that have no current experimental correlate? For your theory to be taken seriously, you have to be able to reproduce successful predictions made by earlier theories (ideally, all the successful predictions made by the standard model of quantum physics, and by general relativity in the domain of gravity), and also make predictions about new phenomena which can be tested experimentally. Somehow I lost your pushing gravity thought and your reference to Feynman. Could you re-send me the e-mail that included those thoughts.

Re: Neutrino shield idea
Dear John, This theory, as far as I have researched it, has problem with Eotvos experiements that consider particles that are sensitive to the weak force, such as radioactive elements. Not all particles interact with neutrinos, e.g. are sensituve to the weak force, and thus there should be a detectable difference in gravity between particles depending on this. This theory simply goes nowhere. Onward, Stephen - Original Message - From: John Ross [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Jesse Mazer' [EMAIL PROTECTED]; everything-list@eskimo.com Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 7:19 PM Subject: RE: Neutrino shield idea Thanks for the response. Your reference quotes Professor Feynman in part as follows: So that is the end of that theory. 'Well,' you say, 'it was a good one, and I got rid of the mathematics for a while. Maybe I could invent a better one.' Maybe you can, because nobody knows the ultimate. But up to today, from the time of Newton, no one has invented another theoretical description of the mathematical machinery behind this law which does not either say the same thing over again, or make the mathematics harder, or predict some wrong phenomena. So there is no model of the theory of gravity today, other than the mathematical form. I say I have done what Professor Feynman said at that time had not been done, namely invent a theoretical description of the mathematical of Newton's law of gravity. The example that Feynman rebuts is just the opposite of mine. There the sun blocks particles flying through the universe. In my theory the sun is the source of the particles. We know that there are truly 150,000,000 neutrinos from the sun passing through every square centimeter of the earth's surface every second. We also know that neutrino flux decrease by the inverse square of distance. I have shown how Coulomb forces from these neutrinos apply a force on the charges in the earth pushing earth toward the source of the neutrinos!

Can you predict more basic things like the interference pattern seen on the screen in the double-slit experiment, and how this pattern changes when you measure which slit the particle travels through?

RE: Neutrino shield idea
Here is what the relevant part of your reference said:
The KamLAND (Kamioka Liquid-scintillator Anti-Neutrino Detector)
apparatus was purpose-built to catch a glimpse of these elusive
particles (see Fig. 5 on page 502). The detector is situated in the
centre of the largest Japanese island, Honshu, in a mine one kilometre
below the summit of Mt Ikenoyama, to reduce the effects of cos-mic rays
formed from particles other than antineutrinos. Antineutrinos are
occasionally captured by protons in KamLAND's 1-kilotonne,
13-metre-diameter scintillation detector (pictured above) in a process
known as inverse -decay. This produces a neutron, which combines with a
proton to form a deuteron and produces a characteristic -ray
('scintillation light') with an energy of 2.2 MeV. The light that this
reaction produces is detected as an electrical signal by an array of
photomultiplier devices surrounding the detector.
What happened (according to the Ross Model) was the neutrino (probably a
relatively low energy neutrino)was captured by an electron which turned
the electron into a very high energy electron that combined with a
hydrogen nuclei (a proton) to become a neutron which in turn combined
with another proton to become a deuteron which produced the
characteristic -ray with energy of 2.2 Mev. The author is right this
is reverse beta decay in which an electron (a beta particle) and a
neutrino are emitted from an atomic nuclei. The best way an electron
can get inside a nuclei is by riding on a proton as part of a neutron.
See FIG. 9 and text at page 29 of my patent application for my proposed
model of a deuteron.
In any case this report certainly does not convince me that neutrinos
are not photons.
