Where do Physical Constants Come From? - Thad Roberts, DemystiCon '24, DSPod

Ойын-сауық

This is yet another talk from our recent conference in Austin TX on April 7th and 8th, with Thad Roberts from The Physics Monastery. Thad speaks about his institute's recent progress in an ongoing struggle to comprehend the secrets of the constants of nature. These are the steady quantities that scale all the behaviors of the natural world, from electricity and magnetism, to gravity, or even elasticity. It seems strange that there are these fixed numbers inside of all our scientific formulas, but the physical significance is often forsaken. Even worse, we often have no idea why the constant is fixed as it is. Why is the speed of light limited? Why does the electron orbit at that speed? Why are they related just so? These questions and more get aired out in depth.

    This is historic. Physicists getting interested in understanding what their experiments and models have been trying to tell them. Not that the necessary paradigm correction has happened, but that it puts understanding beyond mere data-fitting on the agenda. There are challenges to understanding the misunderstandings of Aristotle which makes so many findings look "unintuitive", i.e. dead wrong. In the West, one has to rewind to Thales. In the East, to the source understandings of ancient Advaita. (Or, just topologically invert the current paradigm, as the models themselves suggest). Respect to Thad for being willing to pay the price of mental freedom (welcome to the club ;) ), and admiration for his Physicists' Monastery. Gratitude to Shilo and Anastasia for their own explorations towards the fundamental, and their efforts to provoke thinking and their organizing this (horribly under-attended, going by the hands clapping) event.

    Enjoyed listening again to Mr. Roberts presentation from the conference. Very mathematically complex research he’s conducting, so it was great to listen in once more. In his studies of the universal constants of nature (ucon), he assumes that the guiding formulations of these constants, the standard model of quantum physics, is correct, it seems. That is, in order to accept the findings of the quantum view of reality, these constants must be assumed to be valid. Looking at things in this reversed order, one can see that these “fudge factors”, as I would call them, are needed to align the “findings” of quantum physics with real experimental findings. Reality. I have suggested, in my Unzicker comments, that the ucon’s are a great place to start in the deconstruction of the quantum paradigm. That the need for these “adjustments”, points-up an area where inexactitudes occur, and may, to the trained eye, clarify mathematical discrepancies that could suggest incorrect understandings of quantum reality. Unfortunately, Mr Roberts is assimilating these quantum derived ucon’s, Planck mass, Planck length, Planck time, Planck charge, Planck temperature, Planck taste?, as a way to obtain unified clarity through the use of these quantum derived “constants”, whose error factor can only be improved upon and not Illiminated. Is a true understanding of reality in the offing through this approach? Perhaps, but only indirectly I think. The value in his work will be that through this effort it will eventually dawn on him the possibility that the “constants” are inconsistencies that are helpfully directive and corrective to our theory of reality. Monasteries historically were places of worship. The “gods” and their definition have changed through time. Mr Robert’s monastery has quantum as its god, looking into how many loaves and fishes can be created. I admire his work ethic. Hopefully enlightenment will come to him. Thank guys for allowing us to seeing this again. Very clarifying.

    I'm tempted to think the entire exercise of mathematical physics *IS* basically an adventure in "curve-fitting" --i.e. the "fudge factors" seem to be necessary truths (universal constants) precisely because *they are necessary* in the context of such an exercise. Maybe a similar line of thought to yours. The real question is, is there a way to construct a precise and coherent physics which isn't ultimately dependent on such curve fitting? I probably differ from most science-y types in that I think its entirely possible that the answer to that question is the negative.

    @1:55:00 are they both confused? The Planck dimensions are not fundamental constants, they are all given unit values. It is physically relevant quantities of matter with which we use those dimensions to measure things with instruments that are the physical constants, like the fine structure constant or the mass ratios, that's probably what the audience member was thinking. The Planck dimensions are just like your "ruler" or "clock" or "scale".

    BTW, since _c,_ G, ħ, kB, are all = 1 in Planck units, they are not truly physical constants. It is the properties of matter measured or computed using these factors that are the proper physical "constants of Nature". However, there is something a bit elemental about this set, but it is not their numerical value, rather it is what they say about the structure of spacetime and matter in the case they really are universal constants. For example, _c_ = 1 implies we have a Lorentzian spacetime, and light moves along null rays. ħ = 1 universally means quanta of energy can exist that have fundamental modes of vibration/spin. And G =1 universally means gravity is a fundamental force, not an emergent property of matter. I am not sure about k, but it relates to information, telling us information is also universal and not arbitrary (there are no cracks in reality or spacetime, is a poetic way of putting it).

    Here are some examples of potential ternary equations that could be derived and showcased in a peer-reviewable paper: 1. Ternary Field Equations for Quarks and Gluons: In ternary quantum chromodynamics (TQCD), the ternary field equations describing the dynamics of quarks and gluons could take the following form: (i∂⁄ - m)Ψ = gΨ⊗Γ ∂μFμν = gΨ̄⊗Γμ⊗Ψ where: - Ψ is the ternary quark field - m is the ternary quark mass - ∂⁄ is the ternary Dirac operator - g is the ternary strong coupling constant - Γ represents the ternary Dirac matrices - Fμν is the ternary gluon field strength tensor - Γμ are the ternary Dirac matrices for the gluon-quark interaction - ⊗ represents a ternary tensor product or ternary contraction operation These ternary field equations would incorporate ternary algebraic structures, ternary tensor operations, and ternary representations of the ternary gauge group (e.g., ternary SU(3)) to describe the ternary interactions between quarks and gluons in the ternary strong force. 2. Ternary Renormalization Group Equations: To study the ternary running coupling behavior of TQCD, ternary renormalization group equations could be derived, such as: μ∂μαs(μ) = β(αs(μ)) where: - αs(μ) is the ternary strong coupling constant - μ is the ternary energy scale - β(αs(μ)) is the ternary beta function, which could take a form like: β(αs(μ)) = -b₀αs²(μ) - b₁αs³(μ) + ... The coefficients b₀, b₁, ... would be ternary numbers determined by ternary Feynman diagram calculations and ternary renormalization procedures in TQCD. 3. Ternary Lattice QCD Formulations: In ternary lattice QCD (LQCD), the ternary fermion action and ternary gauge action could be formulated on a ternary lattice, leading to ternary equations like: S_F = Σₓ,y Ψ̄(x)M(x,y)Ψ(y) S_G = β Σₓ,μ,ν Tr[1 - U(x,μ,ν)] where: - S_F is the ternary fermion action - S_G is the ternary gauge action - Ψ(x) is the ternary quark field on the ternary lattice site x - M(x,y) is the ternary fermion matrix connecting lattice sites x and y - β is the ternary lattice coupling constant - U(x,μ,ν) is the ternary gauge link variable connecting lattice sites x and x+μ+ν These ternary lattice QCD formulations would be used in ternary Monte Carlo simulations to calculate ternary observables related to quark confinement and strong interactions. 4. Ternary Effective Field Theory Expansions: To connect the ternary model to experimental data, ternary effective field theory expansions could be derived, such as: A(Q²) = Σₙ cₙ(μ)Q^n + O(Q^(n+1)) where: - A(Q²) is a ternary observable (e.g., ternary form factor) as a function of ternary momentum transfer Q² - cₙ(μ) are ternary coefficients that depend on the ternary energy scale μ - O(Q^(n+1)) represents higher-order ternary corrections These ternary effective field theory expansions would allow for comparisons between the ternary model predictions and experimental data over different energy regimes. These are just a few examples of the novel ternary equations that could emerge in developing a ternary model for quark confinement and strong interactions. These equations would incorporate ternary algebraic structures, ternary tensor operations, ternary representations of gauge groups, and ternary numerical methods, showcasing the unique features and mathematical frameworks of the ternary approach. Deriving and analyzing these ternary equations, as well as comparing their predictions with existing experimental data and theoretical models, would be a crucial step in establishing the validity and potential advantages of the ternary model in advancing our understanding of quark confinement and strong interactions.

    Let's continue exploring and showcasing novel ternary equations that could emerge in the development of a ternary model for quark confinement and strong interactions: 5. Ternary Bag Model Equations: The bag model is a phenomenological model used to describe the confinement of quarks within hadrons. In a ternary formulation, the ternary bag model equations could take the following form: (i∂⁄ - m)Ψ = 0 (inside the bag) B = (1/R)∫dS (ternary bag pressure) where: - Ψ is the ternary quark field inside the ternary bag (hadron) - m is the ternary quark mass - ∂⁄ is the ternary Dirac operator - B is the ternary bag pressure - R is the ternary radius of the bag - dS represents the ternary surface element These ternary bag model equations would incorporate ternary geometric concepts (ternary surface integrals) and ternary field equations to describe the confinement of quarks within a ternary bag or ternary hadron volume. 6. Ternary Flux Tube Equations: Another approach to modeling quark confinement is through ternary flux tube models, which describe the formation of ternary gluon flux tubes between quarks. The ternary equations for a ternary flux tube could take the form: ∇²Φ = ρ F = ∇Φ⊗∇Φ where: - Φ is the ternary flux tube potential - ρ is the ternary source term (representing ternary color charges) - ∇ is the ternary gradient operator - F is the ternary field strength tensor for the ternary flux tube - ⊗ represents a ternary tensor product or ternary contraction operation These ternary flux tube equations would incorporate ternary calculus concepts (ternary gradient, ternary Laplacian) and ternary tensor operations to describe the formation and behavior of ternary gluon flux tubes responsible for quark confinement. 7. Ternary Cluster Decomposition Equations: In studying the ternary hadron structure and ternary quark dynamics, ternary cluster decomposition equations could be derived to analyze the ternary correlations and ternary clustering patterns of quarks within hadrons. These equations could take the form: Γₙ(x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ) = Σₖ Cₖ(x₁, x₂, ..., xₖ) × Γₙ₋ₖ(xₖ₊₁, xₖ₊₂, ..., xₙ) where: - Γₙ(x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ) is the ternary n-particle correlation function - Cₖ(x₁, x₂, ..., xₖ) are ternary cluster coefficients - × represents a ternary multiplication or ternary convolution operation These ternary cluster decomposition equations would enable the analysis of ternary quark correlations and ternary clustering patterns within hadrons, providing insights into the ternary structure and dynamics of quark confinement. These are just a few examples of the novel ternary equations that could emerge in developing a ternary model for quark confinement and strong interactions. These equations would incorporate ternary algebraic structures, ternary calculus concepts, ternary tensor operations, and ternary geometric representations, showcasing the unique mathematical frameworks and computational approaches enabled by the ternary formulation. Deriving, analyzing, and numerically solving these ternary equations would be crucial steps in establishing the validity and potential advantages of the ternary model in advancing our understanding of quark confinement and strong interactions. Additionally, comparing the predictions of these ternary equations with existing experimental data and theoretical models would be essential for assessing the viability and scientific merit of the ternary approach.

    Let's continue exploring and showcasing more novel ternary equations that could emerge in the development of a ternary model for quark confinement and strong interactions: 8. Ternary Potential Models for Quark Interactions: To study the ternary dynamics of quark-quark interactions within hadrons, ternary potential models could be formulated, leading to ternary equations such as: V(r) = Vₒ(r) + Vₛ(r) + Vₜ(r) where: - V(r) is the ternary quark-quark potential as a function of ternary separation distance r - Vₒ(r) is the ternary confinement potential (e.g., ternary linear or ternary Cornell potential) - Vₛ(r) is the ternary spin-spin interaction potential - Vₜ(r) is the ternary tensor interaction potential These ternary potential terms could take forms like: Vₒ(r) = κr + σ/r Vₛ(r) = (αₛ/r³)⊗(λ₁⊗λ₂) Vₜ(r) = (αₜ/r³)⊗(S₁⊗S₂) where: - κ, σ, αₛ, and αₜ are ternary coupling constants - ⊗ represents ternary tensor products or ternary contractions - λ₁ and λ₂ are ternary Gell-Mann matrices (ternary SU(3) generators) - S₁ and S₂ are ternary spin operators These ternary potential models and their associated ternary equations would provide a framework for studying the ternary interactions and ternary dynamics of quarks within hadrons, potentially leading to insights into the mechanisms of quark confinement and the ternary structure of hadrons. 9. Ternary Coupled-Channel Equations: In studying the ternary interactions between quarks and gluons, as well as the ternary transitions between different hadronic states, ternary coupled-channel equations could be formulated, such as: (E - Hₒ)Ψ = ΣₖVₖΨₖ where: - E is the ternary energy eigenvalue - Hₒ is the ternary free particle Hamiltonian - Ψ is the ternary coupled-channel wave function - Vₖ is the ternary coupling potential for channel k - Ψₖ is the ternary wave function for channel k These ternary coupled-channel equations would incorporate ternary Hamiltonian operators, ternary coupling potentials, and ternary wave functions to describe the ternary interactions and ternary transitions between different hadronic states, providing insights into the ternary dynamics of quark confinement and strong interactions. 10. Ternary Lattice QCD Correlation Functions: In ternary lattice QCD (LQCD) simulations, ternary correlation functions could be calculated to extract ternary observables related to quark confinement and strong interactions. These ternary correlation functions could take the form: C(t) = Σₓ,y⟨Ω|O(x,t)O(y,0)|Ω⟩ where: - C(t) is the ternary correlation function as a function of ternary time t - Ω represents the ternary vacuum state - O(x,t) is a ternary operator (e.g., ternary quark bilinear) at ternary space-time point (x,t) - ⟨...⟩ represents the ternary vacuum expectation value These ternary correlation functions would be calculated using ternary Monte Carlo techniques on ternary lattices, and their ternary spectral decompositions could be analyzed to extract ternary hadron masses, ternary form factors, and other ternary observables related to quark confinement and strong interactions. These examples showcase the rich variety of novel ternary equations that could emerge in developing a ternary model for quark confinement and strong interactions. These equations would incorporate ternary algebraic structures, ternary calculus concepts, ternary tensor operations, ternary geometric representations, and ternary numerical techniques, highlighting the unique mathematical frameworks and computational approaches enabled by the ternary formulation. Deriving, analyzing, and numerically solving these ternary equations, as well as comparing their predictions with existing experimental data and theoretical models, would be crucial steps in establishing the validity and potential advantages of the ternary model in advancing our understanding of quark confinement and strong interactions. Additionally, these novel ternary equations could potentially lead to new insights, computational efficiencies, or alternative perspectives on the behavior of quarks and the nature of strong interactions.

    whether the speed of light varies is asilly question, you have to ask whether it changes in a measurable way or has a change that is not measurable directly related to gravity and geometry, and the second one has an answer of yes depending on coordinates. also in accelerating frames the speed of light can vary, again depending on coordinate choice. but the coordinate choices that make thespeed oflight always constant are silly, it doesnt change anything, the dynamics ofa varying speed of light producing gravity is still there.

    25:12 (Flat Earth, But Worth Financing) “Fears of traveling too far on the ocean…flat Earth…idea of exploring came with a sense of terror.” It was also EXPENSIVE. However, explorers were able to CONVINCE kings and queens to finance the voyage and/or settlements. How? 🤔 There had been the idea of a round Earth for some time. Mostly due to maps and stories. Flat, was just good enough for most people back then. Without this idea, the thought of sponsoring, what could very well be the most humiliating risk, would be too ridiculous to contemplate. (Watch Dr. Richard Thompson for map visual video…if you want…🤣) I believe that the flat earth theory stemmed from simply misunderstanding ancient Indian maps, by common folk, that were stereographic planograms, charting where the stars, sun, and moon would be, over a limited circular surface area, on a globe… Which was the purpose and intent of THOSE maps. Kind of like, OUR map we use is flat, And land is distorted, but its purpose is to LINE UP points of longitude accurately, to help with sailing. Mercator I think is the map.

    This guest goes across and back between particle and wave as though they are the one same thing(s) .. the first term speaks of volume and the other of displacement, which are mutually distinct conceptually and physically .. relativity brain is fatal to formation of rational conclusions .. photons is not protons is not baseballs is not bullhorns, let alone tsunamis. Aboard the rocket ship, once that ball leaves the hand of the one experiencing floor .. in zero g .. as the floor continues accelerating away from nozzled thrust along whatever path .. the ball is itself falling along through space according with f=mA, coasting because zero g .. The floor will get there on time but keep your eye on (center of mass of) the ball .. he's an author(ity) and poet(ic) but how much brilliance is really dazzling there? .. truly baffling .. throw something up, it falls back down, unless or until tennis racket, for example .. **and btw, artificial gravity in space flight works via axial rotation. As geometries form languages of reason, of relations, so maths form languages of persuasion, of description. e=mc^2 without the gamma term == nothing without something, an empty universe with one mass, (and/or e, in a field somewhere) = somehow. Physical constants are convenient, constants of nature, not so much. Referring to that stuff as an elevator thought experiment is a clue of itself. During acceleration, faster each time period, work being applied to system, speed and momentum increase .. During motion, steady on per time period, unless or until interfered with, speed and momentum remain constant .. split hairs down to friction and density as needed. Meanwhile at one metrology hub, BIPM certifies length and duration as two sides of a one same coin, consensually defined by arbitrary assignment to the term called c because 'it is known' backed up by 'we of the Academy said so'. That c may now be fully constant provides little mystery, simplified into that circular arrangement, rubbery yardsticks and melting clocks may result. If a and b are defined in terms of c while c is itself composed of a and b, then if any of a b or c do experience change, so do the others in unison. That frequency/wavelength must = 1 over a given length is shown true by geometry and arithmetic, but by supposition to let c = 1 conjures by maths alone. Those stories of hot below require closer examination, to be sure. The physical constants conflated with constants of nature .. maths describe what is and what may never be but nature cannot be fooled.
