Hi, I'm new to this group so I hope I'm not committing any faux pas
here.
I've come to some conclusions or maybe opinions would be a better
description. I don't think the ZPF should be miligned just because there are people who want to use it for their own wacky agenda. For any advancement in physics new ideas have to be given a fair chance. Basically a useful new theory has to
include all previous experimental results and explain new results
that havn't been explained so far. Sometimes you get to that place through unusual means. So that's what I've tried to do. Since I'm not a physicist or mathematician I can't properly call my ideas theory because I'm not offering any mathematical or experimental proof. What I call them are my PHYSICS PREMISES. To me they are the most logical system of physics ideas that don't contradict the history of experimental results to date and also include explanations of results that are so far unexplained. If anyone thinks that experimental results ARE being contradicted here please let me know. This is just my best effort with no perfection implied or promised. Here they are:
1. When a charged particle (electrons, quarks) accelerates it
creates an acceleration with respect to the Zero Point Field (ZPF).
This acceleration creates a Poynting vector in the ZPF. This
Poynting vector acts as a non-random frequency or frequencies rising
above the ZPF random sea. The relative acceleration between the
charge and the radiation vector acts according to Maxwell's Laws to
create a counter emf on the accelerating particle. This counter emf
is the force we normally observe as inertial mass.
2. Gravity is a pseudo force and there is no mass of any kind as we
know it. Gravitons do not exist. What we instead observe in daily
life is the interaction of charged particles with the quantum vacuum
field or ZPF.
3. The effect we call inertial mass is the sum of the counter emf
exerted on individual charged particles in a body accelerating with
respect to the ZPF.
4. The effect we call gravitational mass is due to a distortion in
the ZPF between two massive bodies (in the classical sense) due to a
canceling of components of the ZPF spectrum between the two bodies.
The components being canceled are related inversely to the square
or the distance between the two bodies and to the cumulative total
of charges in each body. Random fluctuations at the local (quantum)
space of the ZPF act on all bodies but only when there is a
distortion of the ZPF is there a net vector. The vector is always
related by field theory to the complex distortion of the ZPF. This
distortion in the ZPF causes the appearance of curved space. (The
Casimir Force is a special case of gravitation where the mass is not
included in the formula because it exists as a force between two
plates where the thickness of the plates goes to 0. In this
particular case the force is related to the area of the plates and
inversely to r^4. On an intuitive basis I would think that as the
plates go from 2 dimensions to 3 as in the real world that r^4 would
integrate r^2.)
5. The "dark energy" that has been discovered to be a large
percentage of the total energy in the universe is this ZPF. As the
universe expands the ZPF expands with it and the boundary of the
universe as we know it is where the ZPF stops. At the point where
the ZPF stops physical laws conforming to the laws of our universe
no longer exist. Inertial and gravitational mass cannot exist
there. Another possibility is that mass entering that area will
collapse in on itself as the electrons, protons and neutrons come
together without the energy of the ZPF to support the base energy
level.
5. Because inertial and gravitational mass is a result of counter
emf it means there is an opposing magnetic field to the Poynting
vector of the ZPF around each accelerating charged particle. This
charged particle magnetic field is the spin of each charged
particle. The quantitative sum of each charged particle in an atom
reacting with the ZPF accounts for the atomic weight for each
element. Every increase (or decrease) in spin as each charged
particle accelerates requires more energy in exact proportion
Einstein's equations for mass. In a gross way spin can be thought
of like a flywheel exhibiting rotational momentum.
6. The outer shell of an atom - the electron energy probability
space - if given sufficient rotational spin may block the
reactionary magnetic field energy from occurring in the inner
charged particles. Sufficient electron spin is most easily gained
via ELF radiation in ferromagnetic atoms per experimental results of
Professor Fran De Aquino (uncorroborated so far).
7.Finally and importantly, the reason mass hasn't been identified as
counter EMF until now is because the zero point field not only
exists at quantum energy levels but in quantum space. In other
words there are no continuous lines of flux between identical
wavelengths in spaces larger than Plancks constant. This means an
atomic inductor may have its individual particle charge spins
increased but there is no homogeneous effect larger than at its
constituent electron and quark spins. The randomness of the ZPF in
space means that no individual effect can be discerned except at the
charged particle level and those charged particle contributions
simply appear as the inertial or gravitational mass of each atom.
So there it is. I've not put in the references that have helped get
to these conclusions because this is just an informal note. They are
mostly papers posted at these locations.
