Re: [Vo]:Newtonian Gravity and General Relativity inside a spherical shell.

2016-12-09 Thread David Roberson
I agree that a phase shift would occur due to normal path length differences. 
What I am wondering about is whether or not that basic shift would have an 
additional component that depends upon the magnitude of the gravitational mass 
contained within the sphere's shell assuming that the path lengths do not vary.

For example, have a very small mass sphere and use the phase detector to obtain 
a reference. Then, greatly increase the mass as you maintain the same inner 
volume and hence total reflection path.  Compare the phase difference in case 2 
versus case1 when using the unaffected external photon.

Since the lengths of the respective paths would be different, there should be a
phase difference, even if no time shift had taken place.

Interesting question. Since the frequency of a photon increases as it gains 
energy on the way into the hollow gravitational sphere one might expect time to 
speed up for it.  If it is allowed to pass through another hole on the other 
side the time rate would return to the original value once it reaches the same 
distance away from the sphere in that direction.

This appears to be a paradox of some type. It is common to speak of time 
slowing down, but a bit strange to think of it as speeding up under some 
conditions. Wonder where I went wrong with this arguement?

Perhaps the photon could bounce around inside the hollow reflective sphere for 
a long time before exiting an offset hole. Since its frequency is higher while 
trapped inside it appears that many more cycles of oscillation would take place 
for this photon than for a brother photon reflecting between two mirrors 
outside the sphere for the same elapsed time.  Would a phase detector comparing 
the two show anything?

​GR's principle of equivalence depends on the concept of a force and 
not on the concept of a potential.
A person in an elevator without windows can only detect either the 
presence or an absence of a force.​


A person in an elevator also can't detect redshift or blueshift of light 
moving into or out of the elevator, because they are restricted to 
making measurements /inside the elevator/. Gravitational time dilation 
is a non-local effect, detectable only by comparing the results of 
measurements at highly separated points.  The elevator metaphor doesn't 
have anything to do with it. In fact there is *no* time dilation of any 
sort associated with either acceleration or a strong local G-field.


On the other hand a person in an elevator */can/* tell whether there's a 
gravitational field present, by checking for tidal effects, which are 
IIRC linear in the spatial dimension and hence detectable even at small 
scales.  That breaks the "elevator=gravity" correspondence, as real 
gravitational fields /always/ exhibit tidal effects.  (Constructed 
fields which result from funniness at a domain boundary don't show tidal 
effects but they're also not real.)


Don't confuse explanations using a metaphor with actual reasoning about 
the results.  The elevator is a metaphor, useful in looking for general 
principles, but imperfect in detail.  The drop-a-rock-down-a-well 
experiment, on the other hand, can in principle be quantified, and in 
the absence of gravitational redshift which depends on the potential, it 
results in a violation of CoE.  In fact it, or a simple variation on it, 
is what led to the concept of gravitational redshift to begin with, or 
so I've read.

RE: EXTERNAL: [Vo]:Is hydrinos dark matter?

2016-12-09 Thread Roarty, Francis X
Axil, according to a 2005 paper by Jan Naudts the hydrino may be relativistic 
hydrogen, but considering the environment this is not your near C velocity 
induced SR, in fact the near C observer relative to us is the perspective that 
we now observe wrt the hydrino, the same suppression responsible for Casimir 
effect modifies the inertial frames in nano powders and skeletal catalysts such 
that hydrogen atoms loading into the bulk product is constantly changing 
inertial frames as it randomly migrates thru the lattice and defects. I remain 
convinced the “suppressed” longer vacuum wavelengths between Casimir plates are 
actually still present and that we are actually observing the same contraction 
and dilation phenomena the near C observer would see viewing us.. the baseline 
we call stationary for inertial frames is established by the remaining “rate” 
of the particles winking in and out of our plane. I put “rate” in quotes 
because we know from SR the local observer is never aware of a rate change 
since this rate establishes his clock. My point being the “baseline” is IMHO  
false, I think Casimir effect and all the London derived forces are based on 
reducing this baseline further thru suppression and that it accumulates far 
faster than the square law we are accustomed to and without the need for 
thust.. it is the poor mans nano route to relativistic effects utilizing 
geometry.

The neutron decays as we all know….to 2/3 of a proton and a “W-“ which in, turn

I would note that this model does not include any possible outside influence by 
multiple real particles in a coherent system. 

IMHO electro-magnetic resonances are needed to accept an electron by a 
proton—the opposite of the decay reaction suggested by the Standard Model.
It’s the extra positron of the proton that wants to combine with the nearby 
electron.  In coherent  systems the tendency of a system to become more stable 
with respect to binding energy per nucleon drives the production of a neutron 
given the necessary resonant conditions (including proper electron and positron

proper alignment to accomplish conservation of angular momentum of the 
interacting particles of the coherent system.  (I consider high energy electron
