Yes, I know that what I seek is non-linear wave equations. All the predictive results that I have depend on that being true. The effects may well be small, but cannot be ignored.They are the whole point of the exercise. There are also rotational effects in the medium that make things very...

I was mistaken when I was seeking a variation in speed of sound in metals with tension. Thanks for clearing that up. I think that for my purposes a better example would be a cubic lattice of springs or wires. In that case, variations in tension due to stretching would vary the wave propagation...

I am aware of temperature variation. Do I take your last sentence to mean that the "not really" at the start means "not by much"?

I did study physics about half a century ago. I have developed a theory which explains many previously unexplained observations. It has also made several predictions that have been verified. It is vastly more successful that the Big Bang theory. Some examples. There are many more. * In the mid...

Thanks for the replies. Where I am trying to get to with my line of questions is somewhere else entirely, but I couldn't start there because there is too much baggage in the history. I am looking at electromagnetism as being the waves of an aether which was how it started out but people got all...

OK, thank you for that insight. So please leave aside my mistake here. Does the speed of sound vary with tension, even only slightly? And does it rise when there is a transverse tension?

In a block of metal, each metal has a characteristic speed of sound. When metal is under tension, such as a guitar string, the speed rises as the tension increases. How does the speed vary (in a block say) as a function of tension along each of the three axes? I am assuming that transverse...

Because you must first synchronise the two clocks and then move them apart. This process of motion causes a discrepancy which means that you are always measuring half of the two way effect.

Hi Tanus I do not accept that velocity is the correct interpretation of the red shift. For an interesting article in Apeiron Journal by Tom Van Flandern, "The Top 30 Problems with the Big Bang" see http://redshift.vif.com/JournalFiles/V09NO2PDF/V09N2tvf.PDF A number of points relate...

Hi Tanus Tanus: ... I do now believe the "standing wave" is possible but it does not discount the ability to use a "particle" perspective in defining the universe. Even if all matter is only made up of waves the waves do "create" particles which are easier to calculate for than having to know...

Hi Ilja Ilja: Instead of a big bang I obtain a "big bounce". Ray: I am interested in this because I am quite convinced (like Fred Hoyle) that the universe is vastly older than 10^10 years. My reasons for this derive from my study of cycles in the universe and my Harmonics theory which...

Hi Organic Organic: ... "Quality time" is what we can call “the butterfly effect in Chaos Theory”. So, the age of the universe (its "quantity time") has (in general) less influence on its fundamental lows, when observed form "quality time" point of view. What do you think? Ray: In...

Hi Ilja Ilja: Hm, my theory is not exactly equivalent to GR, but has the Einstein equations of GR as a limit. Ray: Can you describe in non-mathematical terms the differences in predictions between your theory and GR or point me to where these are described on the web? Ilja: No. I´m...

Hi Wolfram Ray: Gravity is an imbalance between the inwards and outwards parts of a spherical standing wave that is each particle. The out wave is weaker by 1 part in 10^40 because of the increase in mass. Wolfram: this is an interesting comment, can you expand on this? Ray: Sure. First...

Hi Ilja I have long believed that your proposal that Lorentz Aether is equivalent to GR is correct. Also, that it assists in a deeper understanding of physics. On your web page at http://ilja-schmelzer.de/GET/CQG-137134.html [Broken] you quote the 2nd referee as saying "On the other hand...

Hi Tanus Thanks for your clearly expressed objections which I appreciate. My replies are rather brief, so if they do not satisfy you please ask for more detail. Tanus: I have a strong resistance to any "standing wave" theory mostly because it doesn't make sense. What forces could exist to...

Hi Pergatory You ask "assuming your assertions are true, could this explain such fundamental things as certain particles absorbing and reflecting various wavelengths of light? Could it be assumed that this is due to the harmonics of the particle in question?" Certainly, but the idea of...

Hi McQueen You wrote "Wave-particle duality ... in spite of the fact that for at least the past fifty years or so , quantum mechanics under first Paul Diriac and later Richard Feynman had successfully argued for the existence of a “virtual “ electromagnetic field being present at every point...

Hi LPF You wrote "Finally, awareness of the pattern!" LPF: "It is in the characteristics of being Human too. After all, what do you think caused recognition of the existing pattern? Our minds are "hard wired" to recognise it, but few people exercise this skill." It is fascinating...

Wolfram wrote "i have often wondered if our universe could be modeled on two interacting "waves", producing harmonics that would marry to the electronic properties of particles, and that maybe there is a primary "frequency of the universe", i can see that this is not what you are implying, i...

Hi Organic You wrote "... does your theory try to find some invariant periodic wave patterns that survived the big bang ...?" I think that the big bang is wrong, and that the universe is vastly older that 10^10 years. Otherwise the cycles patterns that do exist in nature could not have...

It is disappointing to post a message giving a method of explaining the major scales of structure that exist in the universe, something never done by any other theory, and to not get a single reply. Have I not explained things well enough for people to understand? Or do people just...

Dear Members of Physics Forums Cosmology Let me introduce myself. My name is Ray Tomes and after a career in computer software development and computer modelling I have spent about 15 years in full time study of cycles in many different disciplines including astronomy, geology, biology...
