A Fractal Theory of Quantum Foundations

Update October 2021:  http://www.fractalnomics.com/2021/10/fractal-corresponds-with-quantum-foundation-problems.html Finally, after 12 years of working, last night I posted my quantum fractal paper; in it, I address the big questions of physics with a simple, modern, and well-known geometry, the fractal. I feel a little nervous; it appears no one has ever done this. If I can get some (financial/grant) support on it, I'll take it to publication, rewrite it, and adapt it to suit it, which is all too much for me here and now on my own. Besides, I want to work with the atmosphere stuff, where I use real quantum mechanics to reveal how the infrared atmosphere really works; way more exciting. There is still work to be done with the fractal: a theory of knowledge from it.  Update May 2021: for the last 6 months, I have been rewriting my paper with help, and I am hoping to publish my findings.  http://www.fractalnomics.com/2021/10/fractal-corresponds-with-quantum-foundation-pro...

Augmenting Infrared Blackbody Radiation Theory with Raman Spectrometry

Image
This diagram shows the quantum-predicted spectra of the infrared atmosphere. It distinguishes between what I term the thermo-transductive (IR) and the Raman active spectra. It also shows the 19th-century derived 'blackbody' curve for the Sun (b) and the Earth (c). The curve 'a' is the 20-century correction curve derived by Raman spectroscopy. This curve is my work, and I aim to change radiation and greenhouse theory with it. Raman spectrometers through the Boltzmann constant measure the temperature of the shown molecules. All matter radiates. And that includes the gases of the atmosphere. In my two papers(  Quantum Mechanics and Raman Spectroscopy Refute Greenhouse Theory  and  The Greenhouse Gases and Infrared Radiation Misconceived by Thermoelectric Transducers  ) I expose and address this discrepancy. I call it a systematic error that has played itself out over the last 160 years; Raman spectroscopy has solved it. Augmenting Infrared Blackbody Radiation Curves w...

Air Radiation: Is the land heated first or is the air heated - by the sun

Image
Radiation: does the sun - by radiation - first heat the earth and then warm the air - to disperse fog? Or, is it the air that is radiated first - as I have claimed? This 'earth first' is the premise of GH theory (the non-GHGs don't absorb IR, right?) and, interestingly, meteorology theory with fog dispersion explanations. They both claim the land is first heated and then the fog disperses. In this clip, we see the fog disperse to the morning sun over a lake. Note that there is little to no wind. I assume the lake temperature will likely be constant over the time the clip is filmed. The obvious solution is that radiation at its quantum IR absorption emission spectra warms the air. The air temperature rises, pressure changes and water evaporates—a blue sky. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoKFW73GhtI

The Greenhouse Gases and Infrared Radiation Misconceived by Thermoelectric Transducers

Hello everyone, I have recently put out my second paper called   The Greenhouse Gases and Infrared Radiation Misconceived by Thermoelectric Transducers complementary to my earlier paper  Quantum Mechanics and Raman Spectroscopy Refute Greenhouse Theory . As the title(s) suggest, I spent a lot of time on those titles, but the greenhouse gases are no more than the thermo-electric gases. Moreover, radiation theory is all based on thermoelectrics; I have also addressed this. I have concluded that all gases are greenhouse gases. According to quantum mechanics, they all absorb and emit IR radiation; we just need two instruments to measure them. The so-called greenhouse gases are really the thermoelectric gases. There are no special gases, only special instruments. There has been a systematic error. Read a summary article I put together:  Settling The Climate Woo With Quantum-Based Raman Spectroscopy

Is our skin colour evidence of Einstein's solution to the photoelectric effect and the (high energy of the) UV photon?

Image
Today in class, I touched on something profound: is our skin colour evidence of Einstein's Nobel Prize work, the photoelectric effect and the (energy of the) photon?  Einstein established that 'light photons' increase in energy, in punch, as the frequency increases, particularly after the ultraviolet in the electromagnetic spectrum.  (pardon the pun 'particularly' - he is one of the fathers of quantum mechanics and particle photons). At UV frequencies, the energy of visible, IR (heat), microwave, and radio light decreases and becomes very weak.  Our skin colour, from this work by Dr Nina Jablonski ( Nina Jablonski breaks the illusion of skin c olour), is determined by our ancestral exposure, or not, to UV - it's UV that kills us. We adapted/evolved skin colour to protect ourselves from the UV. Light energy beyond the visible spectrum, in the UV, is dangerous to us, and our understanding of this was revealed by Albert Einstein in his paper on the quantum photoele...

Koch Snowflake Area paradox: it's infinite I say.

I disagree that the area of the Koch snowflake is finite, as claimed. The calculation may give the result of a finite number—from a fixed point—but as the system is iterating infinity, as is assumed, the area of each added triangle will be real, and these areas infinitely diminish—asymptotically.  If we zoom into the 'last' iteration area size, where the area becomes finite, we likely see the iteration continuing with this diminishing added area. Infinite Series and Convergence. There is a paradox here, a practical result conflicting with a calculated result. In reality, it is both: these infinite series must go on (converging), presenting ever-diminishing values, and thus, the 'limit' must be irrational, not finite. But I will not challenge the finite calculation; I do not have the authority or ability to do that.  Interesting.

Debunking Greenhouse Theory Physics

Image
I have now published my updated theory of the atmosphere.  Augmenting 19th Century Thermoelectric Greenhouse Theory with 20th Century Quantum Mechanics Raman Spectroscopy: Towards a Coherent Radiation Theory of the Atmosphere Debunking Greenhouse Theory Physics The Gassy Messenger. Abstract Modern climate science's fundamental premise (or assumption) is that greenhouse gases (around 2% of the atmosphere) absorb radiant infrared (IR) heat (as derived by IR spectroscopy) and are the main climate driver because of this speciality. This premise originates with the  John Tyndall 1859 thermopile infrared detection experiment . The (other)  non-greenhouse  gases  (N 2  nitrogen and O 2  oxygen)  are distinguished from the  greenhouse  gases by their (said * ) inability to absorb (infrared) heat, as deduced from the same experiment: here, absorption is confused with opacity.   Raman spectroscopy (a complement to ...
