For those who want to explore the criticisms of Relativity theory, there is a journal that focuses on that. From their Editorial Policy:
"Galilean Electrodynamics aims to publish high-quality scientific papers that discuss challenges to accepted orthodoxy in physics, especially in the realm of relativity theory, both special and general. In particular, the journal seeks papers arguing that Einstein's theories are unnecessarily complicated, have been confirmed only in a narrow sector of physics, lead to logical contradictions, and are unable to derive results that must be postulated, though they are derivable by classical methods." http://home.comcast.net/~adring/GEPolicy.htm -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Horace Heffner [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 9:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Vo]:GR now in serious question On Oct 28, 2009, at 6:16 AM, Jones Beene wrote: > What would be the effect of a small amount of mirror matter in our > solar system ? > > Let's say our solar system drifted through a large cloud of mirror > hydrogen from a mirror star supernova, which contained some heavier > molecules. Would some of it become intermixed ? Yes and no. If the mirror matter has ordinary (positive) gravitational charge, i.e. attracts with ordinary matter as is conventionally believed, then yes. If the mirror matter has negative gravitational charge, as defined as "cosmic matter" in the "Searching for Cosmic Matter" article here: http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/CosmicSearch.pdf then it is unlikely we would drift through such a cloud because it would be repelled by our galaxy and solar system. However, even better, if negative gravitational charge mirror matter, cosmic matter, exists as described my article above, then the black holes in the center of our galaxy are manufacturing the stuff, and we are bathed in a constant flow of it as it moves outward from the center of the galaxy, forming a galactic halo, and thus beautifully accounting for the unusual momentum behavior of the galactic arms as described precisely by the MOND equation, as described on page 10. Mirror and ordinary photons couple with on the order of 5x10-9 times the charge of an electron. I also point out that gravimagnetic spin coupling will bond particles. This coupling, especially virtual photon coupling, results in the ability of mirror nuclei to weakly couple to ordinary matter nuclei, creating what I called meta- matter. There may be some heavy atoms that show up in the mass spectra of matter that has been exposed to mirror matter, but typically electrostatic accelerations will separate the nuclei. Their coupling is weak enough that supercentrifuges should be able to do the mass separation. We might be able to see energetic mirror matter using a graviphoton telescope. By symmetry, I showed graviphotons should weakly couple to the electromagnetic force. Magnetic lenses can thus be used to build a graviphoton telescope which would permit viewing of this alternate universe about us. The "Searching for Cosmic Matter" article was written as a stand- alone article, so much of it is a review of gravimagnetics. However, I get down to some practical means to look for mirror matter here on earth, on page 25 ff of the above article. I mention a sea water search method for cosmic mater on page 30. A substantial proportion of mirror matter in a mass sample will result in spontaneous cooling of the matter due to black body mirror photon radiation. Therefore, an IR camera provides a means to look for high density mirror matter geological samples. Cosmic matter, if it exists, arrives here as comic rays. About 90 percent of cosmic rays are hydrogen, i.e. protons, but they impact atmospheric molecules and cause a shower of particles, including gammas, neutrons, kaons, pions and mesons. It is necessary that the mirror charge is preserved in one particle type or another in the process, unless a mirror matter anti-particle is miraculously struck and annihilation occurs, and the most likely detectable surviving final cosmic product is the cosmic hydrogen atom or a cosmic proton bound into meta-matter. The sun captures cosmic rays and transforms their energy into thermal energy. It can therefore be assumed that, if cosmic rays contain cosmic matter, that the solar wind itself carries a proportion of cosmic matter outward from the sun. If even a microscopic amount of meta-matter could be isolated, then it would be possible to build the equivalent of a mirror photon CCD. Mounted on a telescope, we could see not only the mirror universe, but all the major mirror matter deposits on earth, even by looking directly through the earth. In addition to the science bonanza, such a device would open up vast new technologies, like heavy earth to orbit or earth to moon lifters. This is the ultimate prospector's dream - vastly more valuable than diamonds or gold. If you have an interest in mirror matter then I recommend Robert Foot's book "Shadowlands, Quest for Mirror Matter in the Universe", Universal Publishers, paperback ISBN: 1-58112-645-X. There are lots of other books on "mirror matter", but they are merely about anti- matter, which is another thing entirely. > > There is the Wiki site: > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_matter > > ... which deals with the cosmological aspects but I am thinking more > of the practical implications of MM being here already, not out there. > Could a few > ppm of mirror water exist in the oceans? I don't know about the proportions. Cosmic matter in gas or vapor form tend to rise and eventually ionize out of the atmosphere. Positive gravitational charge mirror matter would tend to concentrate deep in the ocean, but might be found in halocline upwellings. There may be very high geological concentrations of mirror matter at major meteorite hits where no trace of meteorite remains. A mirror matter hit could be mistaken for a comet hit. Tunguska may be a candidate site for example. Best regards, Horace Heffner http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/ No virus found in this incoming message.
