The Unification of Physics

Authors: Richard Lewis
Comments: 26 Pages. [Published in International Journal of Recent Advances in Physics (IJRAP) Vol.9, No.4, Nov. 2020]

The objective is to find a unified description of physical properties which applies at the small (atomic) scale and at the large (cosmological) scale. The starting point is the General Theory of Relativity. Light is described as a wave disturbance of spacetime propagating through space. The light interference experiment is discussed in detail considering light as a real physical wave passing through the apparatus and interacting with the detector so that probabilistic effects take place at the point of detection. The nature of mass and the nature of charge are explained. The concepts of force and field are shown to be dependent attributes and all properties are shown to be derived from spacetime. The nature of protons, neutrons and electrons as looped waves in spacetime is analysed with the implications for experimental observations. The unification of the four fundamental forces is achieved by recognising that the property "force" is not fundamental. The forces (gravitational, electromagnetic, strong and weak nuclear) arise as a result of differences in energy between possible positions of objects in spacetime. The forces arise in each case due to the context in which they occur. The Theory of Everything (TOE) or master theory question is resolved by showing that the core theory equations are the Einstein equations of GR with a cosmological constant of zero.

Microworld_74 Newton's World_13 XIII. Ostrakism of the Ether in Physics

Authors: Leonov N.N.
Comments: 22 Pages. English and russian texts

Due to the refusal to take into account the ether, with its resistance to the movement of micro-objects, physics has not yet managed to understand the substantial content of such phenomena as "displacement current", "Solar wind", "mobility of isolated atoms", "Brownian motion", "macroscopic etheric jet engines ".

Error in Derivation of Compton Scattering Formula

Authors: Chan Rasjid Kah Chew
Comments: 5 Pages.

Arthur H. Compton published his light photon scattering theory in 1922. He derived a remarkably elegant formula which now bears his name, the Compton scattering formula: λ' - λ = λ_c(1 - cos(φ). It was derived basically from energy and momentum conservation considerations for collision of x-ray or gamma-ray photons with electrons within the atoms of light elements. Due possibly to the sterling reputation of Compton as a physicist, his theory was readily accepted. But there is a critical flaw in the derivation of the Compton formula that should render the formula dubious. In the derivation, Compton assumed the scattering electron to be initially at rest. The original experiment of Compton used carbon graphite as the scattering target. The ionization energy of carbon is about 11.3eV and this is also the kinetic energy of the least bound electrons in the carbon atom. For the scattering angle of 10°, the energy lost to the x-ray photon which ended up as the recoil energy of the scattered electron was around 9.04eV. This shows that the initial kinetic energy of the scattering electron is not insignificant and should not be ignored. This unjustified assumption in the derivation makes the generality of the Compton scattering formula now dubious.

From 10-8 to 10-33 m: The Interplay of a Wide Range of Scales in the Neutron β Decay

Authors: Bruno R. Galeffi
Comments: 7 Pages.

The neutron β decay is made possible through the cooperative interplay of an astonishing range of scales, stretching up to 25 orders of magnitude apart. From the size of particles mediating the strong force to the electron antineutrino oscillation wavelength, respective particle scales are reviewed or estimated.

What Was J. Weber's Barrel Catching?

Authors: A. I. Andreus
Comments: 4 Pages. In Russian and English

The quintessence of J. Weber's barrel was the concept of isotopes and the application of this concept with the concept and in its development. On my website, I noted a benchmark at https://www.andreuslab.com/index0000.htm#top028 about an excursion into modern research on this topic, which since the time of G. Cavendish had a long break and reminded of itself with the barrel of J. Weber, whose departure , J. Weber, to other worlds coincided with the new fiction of the mainstream.

A New Method of Measuring Sail Speed

Authors: Donghui Wang
Comments: 2 Pages.

The author found a rule through experiments, that is, the speed of an object falling on the water surface is directly proportional to the diffusion rate of the water wave stirred up. This finding can help to obtain the sail speed of a specific target by measuring the diffusion rate of water wave.

Microworld_73 Newton's World_12 XII. The Mechanism of Birth Magnetic Death-like Vortex

Authors: Leonov N.N.
Comments: 15 Pages. English and russian texts

Magnetism exists in the form of an indissoluble unity with its material carrier at any level of organization of matter. Therefore, a magnetic vortex can be born, at any level, only together with its material vortex "body". Each free elementary object of any level, due to its tornado-like nature, continuously generates a jet stream, forcing it to constantly be in motion. Since many free elementary objects, the level of ether and smaller levels, are located in the Universe rather densely, the movement of these free objects, due to constant collisions, is chaotic. Because of this. local vortex funnels can appear at each level. Depending on the parameters of the movement of free elements, such a funnel can be unstable or stable. The unstable "seed" funnel disappears and disintegrates into chaotically moving elements. A stable "seed" funnel grows into a stable free elementary object of its level.
