[Physics] EM waves

Sat Dec 2 12:28:50 CET 2017

Dear Tufail,
You have an interesting idea that there could be some kind of resonance frequency for gravity. I suppose that it would relate primarily to the resonance frequency of the spin of the proton...but I don't know. Taking the expansion of the universe into consideration, the average wavelength of the gravitons may have decreased since the beginning of the universe (just as the average wavelength of the black body radiation has decreased) so that the force of gravity may have changed over time (just as the counterforce that causes resistance to the movement of the galaxies etc. may have decreased over time (http://labs.plantbio.cornell.edu/wayne/pdfs/radiation%20friction.pdf)
I only wrote a chapter for the Handbook of Photosynthesis so I do not have the whole book. You can see some of it on Google Books.

Thanks for your interesting ideas,

Dear Randy,

I had read your paper that you previously shared about gravitons, where you have discussed that gravitons(if we want to give a name) should be of large wavelength, and gravity should be an outcome of Compton like Scattering, reciprocal shielding and a characteristic radius at which gravity should work. And I agree with those, although we don't have the actual value of wavelength and radius.

I think, if there is some particular wavelength/frequency is involved for gravity then the selection of that frequency for energy exchange/flow should be happening through some kind of resonance. For example, possibly in our system there should be a central frequency around which frequencies of planets are distributed just like bandwidth of resonance circuits.

Resonance is also happening naturally in chlorophyl. Hence from the perspective of biologist, would a better understanding of chlorophyl lead to better understanding of Gravity and how?

It seems that for photons you have shared one  chapter of a book titled "Handbook of Chlorophyll" . I am interested in Full Handbook,

Regards,

Tufail Abbas

Dear Tufail,
What I have to say to answer your questions depends on my model of the photon. You may or may not accept it.

I think that the photons created as the beginning of the universe have very very long wavelengths-and actually act as gravitons:
http://labs.plantbio.cornell.edu/wayne/pdfs/gravitons.pdf

About photons in general:
If the emitter (creator of the photon) does has a charge, and I am assuming that charges do exist, then the E and B fields should be out of phase. In my model of the photon, the photon is neutral, although the neutrality comes from the sum of equal and opposite charges-yes my photon is not an elementary particle but a composite where the two particles are complementary in terms of charge, parity and mass (as opposed to time). In this photon, the E and B fields remain a quadrature out of phase. See my model of the photon here: http://labs.plantbio.cornell.edu/wayne/pdfs/whatisaphoton.pdf

Dear Randy,

>>>>>Maxwell made a simplification that makes no sense to take seriously in terms of mechanism.

Saying that Maxwell"s simplification makes no sense is ok. But saying that it should not be taken seriously sound a bit unreasonable. Possibly (div E=0) carry some special meaning in physical context and not absence of source.

Every wave has a time period T. What would be the nature and properties of wave with a time period equal to the Age of the Universe?

Actually there are many issues about Electricity and Magnetism, which still makes limited sense, particularly the unit of Electrical Charge itself.

We have never directly detected the charge except by measuring the force(which can easily be expressed in terms of kg, meter and second) between current carrying conductors. So why do we have a new unit of charge called Coulumb. Is it only because, in early nineties, square root of mass and square root of length made no sense? Or possibly it was difficult assign a physical meaning to square of a second?

We have accepted that time as a physical parameter is same like space, so we call it space-time? Therefore, if square of a length means area, then why can't square of a second have similar meaning? I am really interested to know that why it does not makes sense , if so?

Regards,

Tufail Abbas.

Dear Art,
The E and B are only in phase when there is no source of the wave (div E = 0). Because there is always a source of the waves div E > 0 (as you see in antennas). Maxwell made a simplification that makes no sense to take seriously in terms of mechanism.
I ended my class today with two quote from Maxwell:
I hope that I have fulfilled James Clerk Maxwell's goal as a teacher. He wrote, "In this class, I hope you will learn not merely results, or formulae applicable to cases that may possibly occur in our practice afterwards, but the principles on which those formulae depend, and without which the formulae are mere mental rubbish. I know the tendency of the human mind is to do anything rather than think. But mental labour is not thought, and those who have with labour acquired the habit of application often find it much easier to get up a formula than to master a principle."
And
Maxwell also wrote, "My duty is to give you the requisite foundation and to allow your thoughts to arrange themselves freely. It is best that every man should be settled in his own mind, and not be led into other men's ways of thinking under the pretence of studying science. By a careful and diligent study of natural laws I trust that we shall at least escape the dangers of vague and desultory modes of thought and acquire a habit of healthy and vigorous thinking which will enable us to recognise error in all the popular forms in which it appears and to seize and hold fast truth whether it be old or new."
Thanks,
Randy

This only happens in conditions in which the total change of the underlying field equals zero. It is a general feature of all basic fields. See The Mother of all Field Equations. http://vixra.org/abs/1709.0324 Greetings, Hans
