A Proposal for Inferential Evidence of the DNA Phantom Effect (by Jason M. Brill)
The Central Enigma of Consciousness (Chris King): Abstract: The nature and physical basis of consciousness remains the central enigma of the scientific description of reality in the third millennium. This paper seeks to examine the phenomenal nature of consciousness and elucidate a possible biophysical basis for its existence, in terms of a form of quantum anticipation based on entangled states driven by chaotic sensitivity of global brain states during decision-making processes. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/123
Quantum Epiontic Consciousness: The Ultimate Nondual ‘Matrix’ of Reality (by Graham P. Smetham): Abstract: It is quite clear that the new quantum perspective indicates that all sentient beings carry a small part of the infinite awareness-consciousness which lies within the heart of reality. This also means that, as John Wheeler in the twentieth century and Buddhist philosophers for at least the last two thousand years have suggested, sentient beings are the agents through which the epiontic ground of the process of reality creates the dualistic world of experience. In fact it seems as if we live in an Epiontic Universe within which the perceptions and activities of all sentient beings determine how, within the limits of the available potentialities, the universe actually manifests. Furthermore human beings, because of their greater sphere of free-will are primarily responsible for the fate and nature of the universe on all levels of manifestation. And, as Stapp, Wheeler, Zurek and others indicate, the intentions and perceptions of sentient beings have a universal impact upon the quantum ground, vanishingly tiny though it may be for any particular individual being. This impact of the intentionality and perceptual activities of sentient beings upon deep levels of the quantum Mindnature universe is such that, as Wheeler and others have clearly indicated, the actual fabric of the appearance of the material world is produced, over vast time scales, by the quantum epiontic mechanism. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/124
Can Hawking's Godless TOE Run without Consciousness Internal and Fundamental to Penrose's Cyclic Universe? (by Graham P. Smetham): Abstract: Hawking-Mlodinow Theory of Everything (“HAM-TOE”) requires the assumption that mathematics has within its own nature the power to ‘breath fire’ into its own equations. But one must ask what actually guarantees that just because ‘the positive energy of matter can be balanced by the negative gravitational energy’ it must follow that the universe ‘will create itself from nothing.’ Hawking was the seventeenth occupant of the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics at Cambridge University. How remarkable then that, when the full implications of the HAM-TOE model are properly drawn out, the resulting theological-metaphysical model bears an uncanny resemblance to the theological perspective of the second occupant of the Lucasian Chair, Sir Isaac Newton, who suggested that space was the ‘sensorium of God.’ The universe uses the perceiving process within the dualistic world of experience in order to explore and experience its own nature. Human beings occupy a central place in this process because they are the universe’s agents (leaving aside the issue of beings elsewhere in the universe) in the process of universal self-exploration, self-perfection and self-transcendence. This indeed is a universal process of self-discovery which modern theologians may wish to call ‘God.’ http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/111
Equivalence of Maxwell’s Source-free Equations to the Time-dependent Schrödinger Equation for a Solitary Particle with Two polarizations and Hamiltonian |CP| (by Steven K. Kauffmann): Abstract: It was pointed out in a previous paper that although neither the Klein-Gordon equation nor the Dirac Hamiltonian produces sound solitary free-particle relativistic quantum mechanics, the natural square-root relativistic Hamiltonian for a nonzero-mass free particle does achieve this. Failures of the Klein-Gordon and Dirac theories are reviewed: the solitary Dirac free particle has, inter alia, an invariant speed well in excess of c and staggering spontaneous Compton acceleration, but no pathologies whatsoever arise from the square-root relativistic Hamiltonian. Dirac’s key misapprehension of the underlying four-vector character of the time-dependent, configuration-representation Schrödinger equation for a solitary particle is laid bare, as is the invalidity of the standard “proof” that the nonrelativistic limit of the Dirac equation is the Pauli equation. Lorentz boosts from the particle rest frame point uniquely to the square-root Hamiltonian, but these don’t exist for a massless particle. Instead, Maxwell’s equations are dissected in spatial Fourier transform to separate nondynamical longitudinal from dynamical transverse field degrees of freedom. Upon their decoupling in the absence of sources, the transverse field components are seen to obey two identical time-dependent Schrödinger equations (owing to two linear polarizations), which have the massless free-particle diagonalized square-root Hamiltonian. Those fields are readily modified to conform to the attributes of solitary-photon wave functions. The wave functions’ relations to the potentials in radiation gauge are also worked out. The exercise is then repeated without the considerable benefit of the spatial Fourier transform. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/107
Covariant Isolation from an Abelian Gauge Field of Its Nondynamical Potential, Which, When Fed Back, Can Transform into a “Confining Yukawa” (by Steven K. Kauffmann): Abstract: For Abelian gauge theory a properly relativistic gauge is developed by supplementing the Lorentz condition with causal determination of the time component of the four-vector potential by retarded Coulomb transformation of the charge density. This causal Lorentz gauge agrees with the Coulomb gauge for static charge densities, but allows the four-vector potential to have a longitudinal component that is determined by the time derivative of the four-vector potential’s time component. Just as in Coulomb gauge, the two transverse components of the four-vector potential are its sole dynamical part. The four-vector potential in this gauge covariantly separates into a dynamical transverse four-vector potential and a nondynamical timelike/longitudinal four-vector potential, where each of these two satisfies the Lorentz condition. In fact, analogous partition of the conserved four-current shows each to satisfy a Lorentz-condition Maxwell-equation system with its own conserved fourcurrent. Because of this complete separation, either of these four-vector potentials can be tinkered with without affecting its counterpart. Since it satisfies the Lorentz condition, the nondynamical four-vector potential times a constant with dimension of inverse length squared is itself a conserved four-current, and so can be fed back into its own source current, which transforms its time component into an extended Yukawa, with both exponentially decaying and exponentially growing components. The latter might be the mechanism of quark-gluon confinement: in non-Abelian color gauge theory the Yukawa mixture ratio ought to be tied to color, with palpable consequences for “colorful” hot quark-gluon plasmas. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/108
Do Experiment and the Correspondence Principle Oblige Revision of Relativistic Quantum Theory? (by Steven K. Kauffmann): Abstract: Recent preliminary data gathered by the Fermilab MINOS Collaboration suggest with 95% confidence that the mass of the muon neutrino differs from that of its antineutrino partner, which contradicts the entrenched relativistic quantum theory notion that a free antiparticle is a negativeenergy free particle compelled to travel backwards in time. Also a discrepancy of about five standard deviations in the value of the proton charge radius recently obtained from muonic hydrogen versus that previously obtained from electronic hydrogen casts doubt on the calculation of the dominant relativistic QED contributions to the effects that are actually measured (e.g., the Lamb shift): these QED contributions dominate proton charge radius contributions less in muonic hydrogen than in electronic hydrogen. The negative-energy “free particles” of entrenched relativistic quantum theory are well-known features of the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations, which are shown to have many other unphysical features as well. The correspondence principle for relativistic particles is incompatible with these two equations, produces no unphysical features and implies only positive energies for free particles, which eliminates the very basis of the entrenched notion of antiparticles, as well as of the CPT theorem. This principle thus requires antiparticles to arise from charge conjugation (or more generally CP) invariance, whose known breaking is naturally expected to produce mass splitting between particle and antiparticle, in consonance with the preliminary MINOS data. It also requires revamping of relativistic QED, which is in accord with the doubt cast on it by the proton charge radius results, and implies that QED is nonlocal, i.e. has no Hamiltonian density. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/109
Less dense space is more curved and very dense space is more flat. Physical objects have tendency to move into direction of higher curvature/lower density of space. Gravitational interaction mass-space-mass is immediate: presence of a mass causes change of density of empty space, change of density of empty space causes gravitational motion. A mass acts on another mass indirectly via the change of density of empty space. Gravity is an immediate physical phenomenon carried directly by the quantum space: no motion of particles or waves in space is needed to transmit gravitational interaction from one to another material object, and numerical order of gravity is zero. Finally, a timeless quantum-gravity space theory is suggested which is based on density of universal cosmic mass, density of empty space and the perspectives of this theory as regards the picture of the gravitational space are analyzed. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/103
Elliptic Curves and Hyperdeterminants in Quantum Gravity (by Philip E. Gibbs): Abstract: Hyperdeterminants are generalizations of determinants from matrices to multi-dimensional hypermatrices. They were discovered in the 19th century by Arthur Cayley but were largely ignored over a period of 100 years before once again being recognised as important in algebraic geometry, physics and number theory. It is shown that a cubic elliptic curve whose Mordell-Weil group contains a Z2 x Z2 x Z subgroup can be transformed into the degree four hyperdeterminant on a 2x2x2 hypermatrix comprising its variables and coefficients. Furthermore, a multilinear problem defined on a 2x2x2x2 hypermatrix of coefficients can be reduced to a quartic elliptic curve whose J-invariant is expressed in terms of the hypermatrix and related invariants including the degree 24 hyperdeterminant. These connections between elliptic curves and hyperdeterminants may have applications in other areas including physics. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/104
Nonlinear Theory of Elementary Particles: IV. The Intermediate Bosons & Mass Generation Theory (by Alexander G. Kyriakos): Abstract: The purpose of this section of nonlinear theory of elementary particles (NTEP) is to describe the mechanism of generation of massive elementary particles. The theory, presented below, indicates the possibility of the particle mass production by means of massive intermediate boson, but without the presence of Higgs's boson. It is shown that nonlinearity is critical for the appearance of particles’ masses. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/105
Getting Path Integrals Physically and Technically Right (by Steven K. Kauffmann): Abstract: Feynman’s Lagrangian path integral was an outgrowth of Dirac’s vague surmise that Lagrangians have a role in quantum mechanics. Lagrangians implicitly incorporate Hamilton’s first equation of motion, so their use contravenes the uncertainty principle, but they are relevant to semiclassical approximations and relatedly to the ubiquitous case that the Hamiltonian is quadratic in the canonical momenta, which accounts for the Lagrangian path integral’s “success”. Feynman also invented the Hamiltonian phase-space path integral, which is fully compatible with the uncertainty principle. We recast this as an ordinary functional integral by changing direct integration over subpaths constrained to all have the same two endpoints into an equivalent integration over those subpaths’ unconstrained second derivatives. Function expansion with generalized Legendre polynomials of time then enables the functional integral to be unambiguously evaluated through first order in the elapsed time, yielding the Schrödinger equation with a unique quantization of the classical Hamiltonian. Widespread disbelief in that uniqueness stemmed from the mistaken notion that no subpath can have its two endpoints arbitrarily far separated when its nonzero elapsed time is made arbitrarily short. We also obtain the quantum amplitude for any specified configuration or momentum path, which turns out to be an ordinary functional integral over, respectively, all momentum or all configuration paths. The first of these results is directly compared with Feynman’s mistaken Lagrangian-action hypothesis for such a configuration path amplitude, with special heed to the case that the Hamiltonian is quadratic in the canonical momenta. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/106
There Is No Such Thing as "Inert" Matter (by Robert N. Boyd): Abstract: The trend towards a universal human acceptance of the dogma that "everything is inert" has led humanity to various conditions of despair and depression and oppression and suppression, and vast numbers of other kinds of suffering. It is high time that this trend should be reversed, so that direct and transcendent personal experiences of Nature and Divinity are allowed to be sought out by the people, and then treasured, rather than reviled as "unscientific". A science completely devoid of Consciousness is utterly incapable of predicting any event or result that involves Consciousness. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/84
Some Implications of Human Genome Research and Its Related Ethical Discourse (by Victor Christianto): Abstract: We discuss a number of ethical considerations related to genome research and results of human genome project’s efforts. It shall become apprent that there are ethical risks and also numerous questions which are open and yet to be defined by those reputable teams, especially concerning the use of genetic enhancement and genetic enrichment of particular human being in comparison with other human being given differences in economics position in society. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/83
Commentary on Smetham’s “The Grand Designer: Can Hawking's Godless Theory of Everything Run without GOD” (by Richard D. Ruquist): Abstract: The string theory perspective mitigates Smetham’s dismissal of the primacy of mathematics as in this statement; "Thus consciousness, not mathematics, must be the primary mover of the universal process”, which is true except that mathematics may be the basis of a cosmic consciousness that includes perhaps the invisible human mind as well. I presume that visible human consciousness has a physical neurological basis suggestive of a mind/brain duality. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/72
Why Natural Selection Cannot Explain Biological Evolution (by Stephen P. Smith): Abstract: The indifferent process of natural selection has been dubbed “the blind watchmaker” by Richard Dawkins. Arguments against natural selection are presented that relate to both ontology (reason-based) and epistemology (evidence-based), and the belief that the blind watchmaker drives evolution is revealed to be only a stipulation, at best. The belief is found coming from a metaphysical preference towards naturalism. A new account of evolution is presented that does not hold naturalism as a preference, and permits teleological (or guided) evolution and vitalism. This new account departs from the hidden agenda of naturalism, and fully discloses its preference towards self-evidence in its pursuit of truth. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/74
Holy War against Science: Natural Evolution versus Intelligent Design (by Chris King): Abstract: Far from being random mutation, evolution, is the most rapid generator of complex form in the universe because it is a massively parallel quantum molecular computer based on parallel nucleic acid replication. It can't be reasonably compared to any naive probability process based on random processes, because the extreme degree of parallel exploration of the space of possibilities makes genetic algorithms the most efficient computational process in the universe. For all its elegant structure, and even consciousness, even super-intelligent design is cumbersome, clunky and completely unsuited to generate new life forms. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/75
If God Created Universe, Who Created GOD? (by Himangsu S. Pal): Abstract: Earlier it was impossible for us to give any satisfactory answer to this question. But modern science, rather we should say that Einstein has made it an easy task for us. And Stephen Hawking has provided us with the clue necessary for solving this riddle. Actually scientists in their infinite wisdom have already kept the ground well-prepared for us believers so that one day we can give a most plausible and logically sound answer to this age-old question. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/76
During his intuitive states there was strong congruence of activity between the left temporal lobes of participants who sat near Mr. Harribance and the activity over his temporal (primarily right) lobes within the theta and 19-20 Hz band. Reversible increases in photon emissions and small alterations in the intensity within the nearby (up to a 1 meter) geomagnetic field along the right side of his head were equivalent to energies of about 10-11 Joules with amplitude modulations in the 0.2 to 0.6 Hz range. The results indicate even exceptional skills previously attributed to aberrant sources are variations of normal cerebral dynamics associated with intuition and may involve small but discrete changes in proximal energy.
Cutting through the Enigma of Consciousness (by Chris King): Abstract: Critical to the investigation of consciousness is that it is existentially completely different from the objective physical world description, being experienced directly only by the subject, and not being subject to the same criteria of replicability a physical world experiment has. Also the observer cannot control their consciousness objectively in the same manner a physical experimentalist can their equipment, because any attempt to change consciousness carries the observer into a new conscious situation as well. In this respect the exploration of consciousness has similarities to quantum measurement. This renders all forms of introspection made as if we are looking at consciousness objectively, completely, or partially invalid. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/117
Human Consciousness and Selfhood: Potential Underpinnings and Compatibility with Artificial Complex Systems (by David Sahner): Abstract: A broadly influenced theory of consciousness and selfhood is presented, followed by a discussion of crucial incompatibilities between human consciousness instantiated in a living biological system and the limitations of artificial intelligence research that might hope to replicate that form of consciousness. It will be argued that human phenomenal experience is firmly anchored in sensation borne of human flesh within a human cultural milieu, and thus enjoys a privileged status. Other pivotal challenges faced by those in pursuit of human-level artificial intelligence are also presented. Based on these considerations, viewed in aggregate, it is concluded that the achievement of human-level artificial intelligence is highly unlikely, even if the potential realization of some form of machine consciousness in the future cannot be excluded. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/112
Linked to RQA we prospect also the method CZF, recently introduced by us. It is able to account for a true estimation of variability of signals in time as well as in frequency domain. And, consequently, it may be used in conjunction with classical Fourier analysis, accounting however that it is inappropriate in analysis of non linear and non stationary experimental time series. The use of CZF method in fractal analysis is also considered in addition to standard index as Hurst exponent. A large field of possible applications in neurological as well as in psycho-physiological studies is given. Also, there are given examples of other and (possibly linked) applications as example the analysis of beat-to-beat fluctuations of human heartbeat intervals that is sovereign in psycho-physiological studies. We give applications on some different planes to evidence the particular sensitivity of such methods. We reach the objective to show that the previously exposed methods are also able to predict in advance the advent of ventricular tachycardia and/or of ventricular fibrillation. The RQA analysis gives good results. The CZF method gives the most excellent results showing that it is able to give very significant indexes of prediction. We also apply such methods in investigation of state anxiety, and proposing in detail a quantum like model of such phenomenological status of the mind. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/113
The Dis-closure of World in Waking and Dreaming (by Gordon Globus): Abstract: The dream world is sometimes indiscernable from the wake world and so parsimony demands a common explanation of world as such. The widespread conviction that the world of dreams is somehow “synthesized” from memory traces of various disparate waking worlds in space and time is implausible, leaving explanation to a mysterious synthetic process. It is argued instead in a Heideggerian vein that closure is fundamental, an “abground” from which world is dis-closed in waking and dreaming both. The abground has dual modes, in accordance with thermofield quantum brain dynamics. Dis-closure of world takes place in the dual modes’ belonging-together, whether waking or dreaming. Three factors participate in the process of matching during waking: (1) sensory input representations and their entanglements, (2) self-actions (self-tuning) and their entanglements, (3) re-traces (memory traces of recognitions). The first factor is of course absent during dreaming, yet an authentic world may appear. This leaves waking and dreaming worlds at ontological parity, both dis-closures between-two. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/114
The Principle of Existence II: Genesis of Self-Referential Matrix Law, & the Ontology & Mathematics of Ether (by Huping Hu, Maoxin Wu): Abstract: In the beginning there was Consciousness (prespacetime) by itself e^0 =1 materially empty and spiritually restless. And it began to imagine through primordial self-referential spin 1=e^(i0)=e^(i0)e^(i0)=e^(iL-iL)e^(iM-iM)=e^(iL)e^(iM)e^(-iL)e^(-iM)=e^(-iL)e^(-iM)/e^(-iL)e^(-iM)=e^(iL)e^(iM)/e^(iL)e^(iM)…such that it created the self-referential Matrix Law, the external object to be observed and internal object as observed, separated them into external world and internal world, caused them to interact through said Matrix Law and thus gave birth to the Universe which it has since passionately loved, sustained and made to evolve. In short, this work is the continuation of our hypothesis of scientific genesis, sustenance & evolution of the Universe and all creations within (the principle of existence).
Abstract: Many physical constants related to quantized gravity, e.g., the Planck length, mass, curvature, stressenergy, etc., are nonanalytic in G at G = 0, and thus have expansions in powers of G whose terms are progressively more divergent with increasing order. Since the gravity field’s classical action is inversely proportional to G, the path integral for gravity-field quantum transition amplitudes shows that these depend on G only through the product ħG, and are nonanalytic in G at G = 0 for the same reason that all quantum transition amplitudes are nonanalytic in ħ at ħ = 0, namely their standard oscillatory essential singularity at the classical ‘limit’. Thus perturbation expansions in powers of G of gravity-field transition amplitudes are also progressively more divergent with increasing order, and hence unrenormalizable. While their perturbative treatment is impossible, the exceedingly small value of ħ G makes the semiclassical treatment of these amplitudes extraordinarily accurate, indeed to such an extent that purely classical treatment of the gravity field ought to always be entirely adequate. It should therefore be fruitful to couple classical gravity to other fields which actually need to be quantized: those fields’ ubiquitous, annoying ultraviolet divergences would thereupon undergo drastic self-gravitational red shift, and thus be cut off. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/95
Ever-present Lambda and the Quantum Potential of Spacetime (by Willard Mittelman): Abstract: An approach to dark energy is presented that combines ideas of causal set theory with a Machian perspective and a treatment of spacetime as a condensate, yielding a “quantum potential of spacetime” Q whose density ρQ acts as an effective Λ that satisfies the uncertainty relation ∆V∆Λ ~ 1 of unimodular relativity. In contrast to the ever-present Λ of causal set theory, ρQ’s value is always non-negative, and the nonlocality of Q ensures that ρQ is spatially homogeneous, in accordance with observation. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/96
Is the Universe Rotating? (by B. G. Sidharth): Abstract: Numerous observations and studies suggest that the universe has some sort of overall rotation. We consider this matter and provide a new angle. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/97
Commentary on Cosmology (Jonathan J. Dickau): Abstract: Cosmology is one area where there is no possibility to reproduce all of what we observe in experiments in laboratories on Earth. But what is real is there for all to see, in the depths of space. So what we do observe must be explained! To that end, scientists have woven an elaborate story about how the universe came to be, and why it is the way we observe it today. But our brave authors have not been afraid to ask “what if the story is not exactly as we were told?” http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/100
Do Gravitons from a Prior Universe Survive a LQG ‘Quantum Bounce’? (by Andrew W. Beckwith): Abstract: We ask if a formula for entropy, as given by S ≡E/T with a usual value ascribed to initial entropy S~105 at the onset of inflation allows an order of magnitude resolution of whether there could be a survival of a graviton from a prior to the present universe, during a ‘bounce’ as predicted by Loop Quantum Gravity, using typical Planckian peak temperature values of T~1019GeV. We obtain values consistent with up to 1038 gravitons contributing to an energy value of E~1024 GeV, if we assume a relic energy contribution where each graviton initially exhibits a frequency spike of 1010Hz. The value of E~1024 GeV is picked from looking at the aftermath of what happens if there is a quantum bounce with a peak density value of ρ max imum ~ 2.07·ρplanck [16] in a regime of LQG bounce radii on the order of magnitude of λ~10-35 meters. The author, in making estimates, specifically avoids using S≡[E-µN] by setting the chemical potential µ≡0 at ultra high temperatures – for reasons which are brought up in the conclusion. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/92
The Sun Is Electrically Charged & the Conundrum of the "Missing Mass" Is Explained (by Bernard R. Bligh): Abstract: A study of the Sun's corona reveals that the velocities of electrons are substantially higher than the velocity of escape and the velocities of protons are well below the velocity of escape. The Solar Wind contains equal proportions of electrons and protons, it follows that there must be a mechanism for ejecting protons from the surface of the Sun and for holding back most of the electrons. It is postulated here that the Sun and all hot stars have a net positive electric charge. If a galaxy as a whole is neutral it follows that there is a net negative charge in the interstellar space in a galaxy. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that electron clouds have been detected near the bulge of the Milky Way. The next step in the reasoning is that there are attractive electrical forces between these stars and the central bulge and that these attractive forces account for the pattern of velocities of stars in orbit in a galaxy (the so-called ‘flat rotation curve’). It follows that there is no need for a hypothetical ‘missing mass’ to provide a gravitational force for this velocity pattern. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/93
The Nature of Dimensions (by Lawrence B. Crowell, Ray B. Munroe, Jr.): Abstract: An interesting pattern is observed in Clifford Algebra Symmetries, anticipated M-Theory / F-Theory branes, G2 group symmetries, and the Fibonacci and Lucas Number Sequences. This pattern may specify the structure of dimensions, and implies a relationship between Scale Invariance, Supersymmetry and Spin Statistics. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/94
