Paul Colby replied to the thread High School Gravitons/Gravity passing through objects.The graviton (at least initially) is an idea that stems from applying local quantum field theory techniques to linearized GR. The...

Paul Colby replied to the thread Graduate Quaternionic Rays instead of Complex.Yes, I purchased this text quite some time ago and put it down when it became apparent the concept was a wash. As to Adler referencing...

Paul Colby replied to the thread Graduate Quaternionic Rays instead of Complex.Adler wrote a book, "Quaternionic Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Fields." Any overlap with Trifonov? It's a big book I haven't spent...

Paul Colby reacted to mitchell porter's post in the thread Graduate Quaternionic Rays instead of Complex with
Informative.
I have understood a small part of what Trifonov is doing, and I'll describe it here so people can see how weird or imaginative it is. In... -
Paul Colby replied to the thread High School Knowledge and information in the physical world.If that's your question then, yes. Quantum objects don't hold information that determines the outcome of the interaction was my test...

@geordief your questions aren't really answerable because you're using vague ordinary language instead of precise math. Words like...
