Milo Wolff: Spherical Standing Wave Structure of Matter

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on Milo Wolff's theory of the Spherical Standing Wave Structure of Matter, which proposes a quantum interpretation using spherical standing waves. Participants express skepticism regarding the lack of mathematical proof and experimental validation since its introduction in 1986. Concerns are raised about Wolff's credibility, with suggestions that he may lack fundamental mathematical understanding and could be motivated by commercial interests, such as selling a book. Overall, the theory appears to lack substantial academic support and recognition.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum theory principles
  • Familiarity with wave mechanics
  • Basic knowledge of mathematical proofs in physics
  • Awareness of scientific validation processes
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics
  • Explore experimental validations of wave theories in physics
  • Investigate critiques of alternative quantum theories
  • Examine the history and impact of Wolff's work in the scientific community
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, students of quantum mechanics, and anyone interested in alternative theories of matter and their scientific scrutiny.

Has anyone heard of Milo Wolff? I recently came upon www.spaceandmotion.com using StumbleUpon, and read the section of quantum theory, and the interpretation of quantum theory using spherical standing waves to describe matter seemed interesting, but I couldn't find anything on it besides that website and some YouTube videos. At first the theory seemed to make sense, but I didn't see any mathematics given to prove it, nor any experiments that verified the theory. Also, since it was "discovered" in 1986, it has been a long time and should have been recognized by now if it had legitimate following. Now I am very skeptical of this theory. Any input on this?

Video seems to indicate that, even at a respectable age, the poor fellow lacks elementary mathematical concepts. Or that he is selling a book. I would not loose my time on this if I were you.
