Leonard Little's Theory of Elementary Waves

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on Lewis Little's Theory of Elementary Waves, which claims to align with experimental data while challenging the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Participants express skepticism about the theory's validity, referring to it as a "crank theory" published in Physics Essays in 1996. The lack of credible information online further fuels doubts about its scientific merit, with one user humorously suggesting that a more complex name might have garnered more attention.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
  • Knowledge of scientific publication standards, specifically Physics Essays
  • Basic research skills for navigating academic literature
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Lewis Little's Theory of Elementary Waves in detail
  • Examine the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and its implications
  • Explore critiques of unconventional scientific theories
  • Investigate the role of publication venues like Physics Essays in scientific discourse
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, researchers in quantum mechanics, and anyone interested in the evaluation of unconventional scientific theories will benefit from this discussion.

Can anyone here explain this theory to me? I'm told that it agrees with all experimental data, yet also manages to disprove (or at least interpret differently, I'm not really clear on this) the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle. If anyone can explain this theory to me, I'd be grateful.

I'm sure it's a crackpot ('theory').

I believe that it is a generalisation of the dark sucker theory to include quantum mechanics. :wink:
 
When I do a Google search for Leonard Little, all I get is a football player who was arrested for drunk driving recently. :smile:

Even when I add "waves" to the search, all I get is that football player. When I search for "Leonard Little" "elementary waves" (with the quotes), Google gives me absolutely nothing, nada, zip, nichevo, ei mitään...
 
so, nothing to get excited over then?
 
The name doesn't sound appealing,too.I mean "elementary waves" sounds,umm,"elementary".Maybe if he had named it "complicated waves",then,maybe then,he would have gotten a chance...

"Physics essays",hmm...

Daniel.
