Abstract
|
||
Conventionally Maxwell’s equations describe transverse elements described as ‘EM’ waves; but by utilizing the Einstein/de Broglie relations one can derive additional degrees of freedom so that Maxwell’s equations are not ‘cut off’ at the vacuum. Therefore one must employ the fields in addition to the standard EM suggesting also that the photon is piloted. The two sets of coordinates for the EM or fields are mutually exclusive and generally considered to be independent of each other. In this work a method is developed for integrating them in terms of a Dirac covariant polarized vacuum and extended theoretical perspectives.
|
||
1. Introduction to Fixing the G/EM Framework
|
||
The integration of Gravity and electromagnetism (EM) has been one of the holy grails of physics for the last century. In this chapter Gravity and EM are unified in terms of the covariant density distribution of a real average covariant Dirac vacuum built with extended random elements filling flat space-time. Although the Newton and Coulomb potentials have similar forms the two theories have developed separately leaving their unification an unsolved problem throughout the history of Modern Science. In the past most attempts at unification have been within a
|
||
1
|
||
|
||
frame associating electromagnetism with new geometrical properties of spacetime [1-3]. The approach of this integration is different. Following Puthoff and others [4-7], both fields are represented by four-vector field densities, A ; where one considers both types of phenomena as different
|
||
types of motions within the same real physical zero-point field in a flat spacetime, i.e. as two different vacuum types of collective perturbations carried by a single vacuum field moving in such a space. Our hope is that since this approach suggests new types of experimentation and new interpretations of unexplained effects it could, if confirmed, help to disentangle the present theoretical discussion.
|
||
The basis of this model is as follows:
|
||
A) The first basis is observational. The universe apparently does not change with distance [8-10] (as it would for Big-Bang type theories). This leads to the possibility of a non-Doppler redshift [11] (which suggests a non-zero photon mass, m 0 ) with the velocity of light
|
||
isotropic in an absolute inertial frame, I 0 , in time.
|
||
B) The second basis is that our essential instrument for distance observation (i.e. electromagnetic waves) is more complex than initially thought. De Broglie and Einstein demonstrated that E h = mc2 , with
|
||
m = m0. 1 v 2 / c 2 1 2 so that individual massive photon’s could be
|
||
considered as piloted by real non zero-mass Maxwellian waves allowing the electromagnetic field to be represented by a vector density, A . As
|
||
shown by the Aharonov-Bohm effect, this implies that the EM field is not completely represented by the fields [12].
|
||
Maxwell’s equations [3] conventionally describe Transverse elements denoted as ‘EM' waves; by utilizing the Einstein / de Broglie relation one may derive additional degrees of freedom such that Maxwell's equations are not ‘cut off’ at the vacuum, but lead to Longitudinal wave components and non-zero electric conductivity of the
|
||
vacuum. Thus our distinct need for the utility of the fields instead of
|
||
just the standard ‘EM’. This also suggests that the photon is ‘piloted’.
|
||
One must ‘fix’ the coordinates of either the EM field or the field we
|
||
have chosen the latter. It should be noted that while c is constant in the rest frame and the velocity of massive photons would be frequency
|
||
2
|
||
|
||
dependent; there is no contradiction because as Dirac himself stated according to coordinate law the pilot wave and the photon decouples
|
||
[13]. The two sets of coordinates, EM or are mutually exclusive and
|
||
would generally be independent. In this work a method is developed for integrating them.
|
||
It is well known that the usual form of Maxwell's equations in vacuum (describing zero mass photons) possess infinite families of boundary free exact solutions with Longitudinal electric or magnetic
|
||
fields; this is the usual theory where B(3) 0 and photon mass,
|
||
m 0 . This is also true for the vector potential in the Lorentz gauge
|
||
according to the equation, A 0 . But of interest to the task here, for
|
||
massive photons there is only one family and one set of boundary conditions!
|
||
C) The third basis has its theoretical origin in the introduction by Dirac et al. of a real covariant chaotic physical aether which fills space-time, carries real physical observable wave-like and particle like (soliton-like) perturbations or local extended elements, whose four momenta and angular momenta are statistically and evenly distributed on specific hyperbolic surfaces, at each given point, in all given inertial frames. This vacuum distribution thus appears, as invariant isotropic chaotic and undetectable (except in specific physical cases) for all inertial observers. The form taken by an aether within Relativity Theory carrying both particles and waves is now described in terms of collective motions on the top of a real essentially stochastic covariant background. Such an aether theoretically justifies the statistical productions of Quantum Mechanics (in its causal stochastic interpretation) and SED theory, and has a direct experimental justification in the Casimir effect. This implies a background friction (associated with absolute local conservation of total momentum and angular momentum) and collective motions which provide a new interpretation of the observed cosmological red-shift [11,14] and yields new possibilities to interpret (also in terms of local frictions) the anomalous red-shifts observed by Arp, Tifft and other astronomers [15].
|
||
From these bases, section 3, describes the gravitational results of General Relativity in Maxwellian terms. Section 4 develops a possible
|
||
3
|
||
|
||
unification model of both theories. Section 5 briefly discusses possible consequences of the preceding attempt. This aether is locally defined by a particular real Poincairé frame, IO, in which (measured with real physical instruments) the velocity of light is identical in all directions at all observable frequencies. All observers tied to other frames passing through local inertial motions will see (measure) different space-time properties (associated with their velocity and orientations) defined by the corresponding Poincairé transformations.1 Local variations of physical properties of the aether correspond to local transitions relating differential inertial frames at neighboring points.
|
||
2. Flat Spacetime and a Real Physical Aether
|
||
This model depends on the existence of a real physical vacuum (or zero point field) built with extended wave-like individual elements [16,17] centered on points in an external flat space-time, where such elements can overlap and interact (i.e. carry) collective motions corresponding to excess (electromagnetic ‘bumps’) or defects (gravitational ‘holes’) in the average density of the local aether elements. The model could be described as a gas of extended elements within flat space-time. These elements can interact locally (i.e. carry collective motions) and the gas’ local scalar density thus carries waves (and solitons) associated with excess (electromagnetic) or defects (gravitational) in density, with respect to the average local vacuum density. One thus defines field variables associated with these two possible (excess or defect) local density variations. The vector fields, for example, in this paper, represent localized excess or density defects with respect to the local vacuum density. This model thus implies:
|
||
A description of real physical vacuum properties in terms of real extended vacuum elements average behavior.
|
||
A description of the behavior of its collective excess (above average) associated with recently observed electromagnetic effects.
|
||
1 To quote Kholmetsky “In order to pass from one arbitrary inertial frame I1 to another one I2 it is necessary to carry out the transformation from I1 to the absolute frames IO and then from I0 to I2” [18].
|
||
4
|
||
|
||
A description of the behavior of its collective defects (below average) associated with observed gravitational effects.
|
||
Introducing these new concepts into Maxwell’s equations and the description of gravitational fields along the same lines (in terms of vector fields, A ) suggests a new type of unification of both theories. Instead of
|
||
looking for a common geometrization of gravity and light (i.e. their unification within a unique form of extended space-time geometry) one could assume the following from Newton and Lorentz :
|
||
A) The evolution of extended (fields) and of localized (sources) in terms of 1) vacuum (aether) 2) gravitational fields, 3) the electromagnetic field, reflects the time evolution (motions) and interactions of perturbations of a real material substance moving in a 3-dimensional flat space. This means that all three field and particle sub-elements are localized at given points, at each instant, in this 3-space and move continuously (i.e. locally transform) according to causal laws2 This assumption (distinction of space and fields) is now supported by the existence of a special particular experimental inertial cosmological frame I 0 in which the 2.7°K microwave radiation frame is isotropic and non rotating The average distribution of different types of galaxies (spiral,
|
||
elliptical, QSO’s) is isotropic not changing with distance [15]. The observable anisotropy of the velocity of light propagation in
|
||
different directions and around massive objects reflects the real motions of real fields described with respect to the I 0 frame in any real inertial Poincairé frame by covariant (local) four-vector scalar chaotic average density (x ) around each absolute space-time point
|
||
x in I 0 i.e. by average four-vectors A0 (x ) where the 0 denotes average measures taken in I 0 .3
|
||
2 As a consequence of the failure of the geometrical unification program Einstein was still obliged in 1954 to consider the electromagnetic field as filling curved space-time, but never reached a final satisfying model. 3 This implies 1) the existence of a basic high density of sub-elements in vacuum, 2) the existence of small density variations above (for light) and below (for gravity) the average density with the possibility of propagating density variation on the top of such a vacuum model as initially suggested by Dirac.
|
||
5
|
||
|
||
B) That all real physical observations rest on:
|
||
The utilization of real physical apparatus based on electromagnetic fields and gravitational material with charged (or uncharged) particles.
|
||
On observers also built with the same material i.e. influenced by the said fields and particles.
|
||
In other terms all observers (and their observations, inertial or not) are an integral part of fields and particles since they are part of the same overall real field and particle distribution. This fact determines their relation with all real phenomena. A physical theory should explicitly provide (within its context) a definition of the means whereby the quantities with which the theory is built and can be measured. The properties of light rays and massive particles are thus sufficient to provide the means of making basic measurements. Since real clocks and rods are the real instruments utilized in physics, we shall thus first define, for an individual inertial observer, the behavior of such instruments with respect to each other: since this determines, for every inertial observer possessing them, the behavior, with respect to I 0 , of the material fields around him.
|
||
As a consequence of the covariant distribution character observed in I 0 , the very small resistance to motion and assumed non-zero photon rest mass, real spin of possible extended vacuum sub-elements and their internal possible motions (and associated local interactions) one can describe the four-momenta and angular momenta of all extended subelements passing through a small four-volume with a constant average density on a hyperboloid, 0 . The four-momenta and angular momenta of extended elements are distributed at each point P(x ) with constant
|
||
density (x ) on space-like hyperboloids.
|
||
C) Following an idea of Noether the local analysis of moving fields and extended particles at each point by real observers tied to this point, is defined by local clocks and rods which move with the corresponding element. It is thus locally performed at each point of coordinates x ( )
|
||
which follows world-line L. To this point (in I 0 ) are attached
|
||
6
|
||
|
||
local, internal variables b() , which describe its neighborhoods physical properties and thus depend on . The evolution is given by x (x ) ,
|
||
b (b ), where . denotes the proper time derivative with respect to
|
||
when x describes a world-line L. A scalar Lagrangian thus represents
|
||
the evolution of the real physical medium in I 0 , which depends on a local Lagrangian, L and is thus given by Poisson brackets. This description on I 0 is assumed to correspond to local space-time translations and four dimensional rotations which are determined by a Lagrangian L invariant under the local group of Poincairé transformations (i.e. the inhomogeneous Lorentz group). They contain [8,9]:
|
||
|
||
1) the operators P of infinitesimal translations of X only and can be
|
||
|
||
described by P X g .
|
||
|
||
2) The operators M of infinitesimal four rotations in I 0 which act
|
||
|
||
simultaneously on X and on the internal variables. We have at X :
|
||
|
||
M x x g x g .
|
||
|
||
(1)
|
||
|
||
Their action on internal local variables depends on their choice. 3) A choice of L leads to the momenta

|

|

and the total angular momentum:

|

so that

M x G x G S ,

|

with

|

With these quantities one can also define local conservation laws for

This set of relations must be completed by relations which will define
|
||
|
||
the interactions between the extended elements i.e. the propagation in the
|
||
|
||
aether of collective motions corresponding to observed gravitational and
|
||
|
||
electromagnetic phenomena. Before the introduction of such interactions
|
||
|
||
one must recall that such proposals have already been made in the past.
|
||
|
||
We only mention here:
|
||
|
||
Weyssenhof’s proposal [16] S x 0 extensively discussed in the
|
||
|
||
literature.
|
||
|
||
Nakano’s proposal [19] S x I x .
|
||
|
||
Roscoe’s proposal with photon mass [20].
|
||
|
||
3. General Relativity Represented as a Polarizable Vacuum
|
||
Since all observed effects of gravity in distant space rest on light observation (including and radio EM waves coming through space from distant sources) a simple model endows the polarizable vacuum with properties that might account for all the phenomena in terms of
|
||
9
|
||
|
||
distortions. This initial proposal of Wilson and Dicke has been recently
|
||
|
||
revived with astonishing success by Puthoff [4] and Krogh [21]. We first
|
||
|
||
summarize their model and will complete it with a supplementary mass
|
||
|
||
term in electro-magnetism.
|
||
|
||
One starts from the idea that in flat space the electric field moves in a
|
||
|
||
real vacuum medium with a point varying dielectric constant K: so that
|
||
|
||
this D field satisfies the vacuum equation:
|
||
|
||
D K 0 E.
|
||
|
||
(13)
|
||
|
||
This corresponds to a variable fine structure constant
|
||

||

||

|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
:
|
||
|
||
(14)
|
||
|
||
so that the vacuum has permittivity and permeability constants given by
|
||
|
||
0 K 0 and 0 K 0 ,
|
||
|
||
(15)
|
||
|
||
and an impedance ( / )1/ 2 (0 / 0 )1/ 2 to satisfy Eötvos-type experiments. The local velocity of light for a given frequency varies
|
||
|
||
likeV c / K i.e like1/( )1/ 2 . The corresponding principle of
|
||
|
||
equivalence implies that the self energy of a system changes when K
|
||
|
||
changes; so that a flat-space energy E0 in flat space changes into
|
||
|
||
E E0 (K ) 1/ 2 ;
|
||
|
||
(16)
|
||
|
||
and one has
|
||
|
||
m m0 K 3/ 2.
|
||
|
||
(17)
|
||
|
||
As a consequence the condition E = becomes
|
||
|
||
0 (K ) 1/ 2
|
||
|
||
(18)
|
||
|
||
along with the time and length variations t and r given by the
|
||
|
||
relations:
|
||
|
||
t t0 (K )1/ 2 and r r0 (K ) 1/ 2 .
|
||
|
||
(19)
|
||
|
||
These relations are evidently equivalent to a local curvature of space. Indeed a dx0 length rod shrinks to d x d x0 (K ) 1/ 2 and would measure
|
||
dx0, where the rod remains rigid, is now expressed in terms of dx-length rod as dx0 (K )1/ 2 dx .
|
||
Using the same argument for dt and dt0 we find that one can write:

This association of gravitational theory with electromagnetic theory
|
||
|
||
based on the introduction of a variable dielectric vacuum constant K has recently been made more explicit by Krogh [21]. Noting that:
|
||
|
||
11
|
||
|
||
a) Electromagnetic theory implies the effects of electromagnetic vector
|
||
|
||
four-potential vectors A on the phases S of quantum mechanical waves
|
||
|
||
so that one has

|
||
|
||
for charged particles moving under the influence of the four vector, A .
|
||
|
||
b) If m 0 ( m is the mass term introduced into Maxwell’s equation) the force on charged particles takes the form
|
||
|
||
F q E V B q V
|
||
|
||
(25)
|
||
|
||

where the first term is the usual transverse Poynting force on currents
|
||
|
||
and the second a longitudinal force along currents (resulting from non
|
||
|
||
zero photon mass) recently observed by Graneau [22] and Saumont [23].
|
||
|
||
c) One can describe gravity with a four-vector density Ag so that the
|
||
gravitational (Newton) and electromagnetic (Coulomb) potentials have the same form, but different coupling constants. This suggests that both wave fields and singularities are just different aspects of the same fundamental field.
|
||
|
||
4. Maxwell’s Equations Extended
|
||
This discussion opens the possibility to test new types of extensions of Maxwell’s equations in the laboratory. Since this has already been attempted some results (derived within the frame of the model) are given here:
|
||
a) From a non-zero vacuum conductivity coefficient 0 [24,25] we have in vacuum div E =0 with curl H = E+ 0 0E / t and div H = 0 with curl E 0 mH / t.
|
||
b) From an associated non-zero photon mass term ( m 0 ) (with A A 0 where A denotes the total four-potential density in Dirac’s aether model. This introduces a non-zero fourth component of the current
|
||
12
|
||
|
||
J E, j0 (where j0 0) into the vacuum corresponding to a real
|
||
detectable space. With present technology this implies that the present vacuum really carries space-charge currents [25] (so that the divergence of the electric field is different from zero in Vacuo) and the corresponding existence of a displacement current (i.e. a curl of the magnetic field) and its associated current density4.
|
||
|
||
4.1 The Infinitesimal Mass of Photons
|
||
|
||
Unifying massive spin 1 photons piloted by electromagnetic waves built
|
||
|
||
with massive extended sub-elements has been developed in a series of
|
||
|
||
books by Evans, Vigier et al. [24] The model implies the introduction of
|
||
|
||
spin and mass with an associated energyless magnetic field component
|
||
|
||
B (3) in the direction of propagation and a small electrical conductivity in
|
||
|
||
the Dirac vacuum also implying a new ‘tired light’ mechanism
|
||
|
||
[11,14,24]. Corresponding equations will be given below.
|
||
|
||
In the absolute inertial frame I0 all massive particles are governed by a gravitational potential four-vector g , Ag / c , associated with a small
|
||
|
||
mass mg which can be decomposed into transverse, longitudinal and
|
||
|
||
gradient potentials.
|
||
|
||
We can thus associate the relations
|
||
|
||
0
|
||
|
||
and
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
A d 0 / 0c A
|
||
|
||
(26)
|
||
|
||
which represent the electromagnetic field in vacuum in any inertial
|
||
|
||
frame, 0 the relations:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
g 4Gm g g and Ag 4 G jm g Ag ,
|
||
|
||
(27)
|
||
|
||
which represent the gravitational field in the same vacuum; where refers to mass density, jm to mass current and and g to EM and gravitational mass (both very small 1065 grams) and c0 in the
|
||
|
||
4 Such attempts have been recently published in a book by Lehnert & Roy [25] so we shall only present a summary of some results and assumptions.
|
||
13
|
||
|
||
terms ( = 2 (1 / c02 ) / t2 ) represents the corresponding wave velocities (which except in I 0 depend on the directions in flat space-time) so that one has:
|
||
|
||
c0 c e 2g / c2 ;
|
||
|
||
(28)
|
||
|
||
where c is the value in the absence of a gravitational potential Ag . In this
|
||
|
||
model, one assumes, with Sakharov [5-7], that the gravitational field
|
||
|
||
corresponds to local depressions in the immensely positive energy of the
|
||
|
||
zero-point field; and gravitational fields represent regions of diminished
|
||
|
||
energy (i.e. that their momentum gravity corresponds to holes in
|
||
|
||
vacuum energy or local defects of vacuum elements). Their effective
|
||
|
||
momentum is thus opposite and corresponding gravitational forces are
|
||
|
||
attractive.
|
||
|
||
Such an association also suggests that although measuring devices
|
||
|
||
(observations) in local inertial Poincairé frames are altered by
|
||
|
||
gravitational potentials (they are part of the same real physical
|
||
|
||
background in this model). There is no effect on the geometry of flat
|
||
|
||
space and time. For any given real inertial local Poincairé frame, 0 real space is Euclidean and one uses Poincairé transformations between 0 and I0 to describe real motions which include consequences of gravitational potentials. For example a reduction of the velocity of
|
||
|
||
quantum mechanical waves, including light, is taken as a fundamental
|
||
|
||
effect of gravitational potentials. Clocks are slowed and measuring rods
|
||
|
||
shrink in such potentials by a factor eg / c2 .
|
||
|
||
4.2 Divergence of the Electromagnetic Field
|
||
A non-vanishing divergence of the electric field given below, can be added to Maxwell’s equations which results in space-charge distribution. A current density arises in vacuo and longitudinal electric non-transverse electromagnetic terms (i.e. magnetic field components) appears (like B (3) ) in the direction of propagation. Both sets of assumptions were anticipated by de Broglie and Dirac. They imply that the real zero-point (vacuum) electromagnetic distribution
|
||
|
||
14
|
||
|
||
is not completely defined by F but by a four-vector field
|
||
|
||
distribution given by a four-vector density, A associated with a de
|
||
|
||
Broglie-Proca equation i.e.
|
||
|
||
A
|
||
|
||
(
|
||
|
||
x
|
||

|
||
|
||
(29)
|
||
|
||
and its complex conjugated equation.
|
||
|
||
the A field potential equation also contains a gradient term so one
|
||
|
||
has in vacuum:
|
||
|
||
A AT AL S
|
||
|
||
(30)
|
||
|
||
with A A 0 and a small electrical conductivity in vacuo.
|
||
|
||
5. Possible New Consequences of the Model
|
||
Since such models evidently imply new testable properties of electromagnetic and gravitational phenomena we shall conclude this work with a brief discussion of the points where it differs from the usual interpretations and implies new possible experimental tests.
|
||
If one considers gravitational and electromagnetic phenomena as reflecting different behaviors of the same real physical field i.e. as different collective behavior, propagating within a real medium (the aether) one must start with a description of some of its properties.
|
||
We thus assume that this aether is built (i.e. describable) by a chaotic distribution (x ) of small extended structures represented by fourvectors A (x ) round each absolute point in I0. This implies
|
||
the existence of a basic local high density of extended sub-elements in vacuum
|
||
the existence of small density variations (x )A (x) above 0 for light and below ( 0) for gravity density at x .
|
||
the possibility to propagate such field variations within the vacuum as first suggested by Dirac [13].
|
||
|
||
15
|
||
|
||
One can have internal variations: i.e. motions within these subelements characterized by internal motions associated with the internal behavior of average points (i.e. internal center of mass, centers of charge, internal rotations : and external motions associated with the stochastic behavior, within the aether, of individual sub-elements. As well known the latter can be analyzed at each point in terms of average drift and osmotic motions and A distribution. It implies the introduction of nonlinear terms.
|
||
Figure 1. Diagram conceptualizing two oppositely charged sub-elements rotating at v c around a central point 0 behaving like a dipole bump and hole on the topological surface of the covariant polarized Dirac vacuum.
|
||
To describe individual non-dispersive sub-elements within I 0 , where the scalar density is locally constant and the average A equal to zero, one introduces at its central point Y ( ) a space-like radial four-vector A r exp(iS / ) (with r r = a2 = constant) which rotates around Y with a frequency m c 2 / h . At both extremities of a diameter we shall locate two opposite electric charges e and e (so that the sub-element
|
||
16
|
||
|
||
behaves like a dipole). The opposite charges attract and rotate around Y
|
||
|
||
with a velocity c. The +e and –e electromagnetic pointlike charges
|
||
|
||
correspond to opposite rotations (i.e ± /2) and A rotates around an axis
|
||
|
||
perpendicular to A located at Y , and parallel to the individual sub-
|
||
|
||
element’s four momentum S .
|
||
|
||
Assuming electric charge distributions correspond to m >0 and
|
||
|
||
gravitation to m < 0 one can describe such sub-elements as holes ( m <
|
||
|
||
0) around a point 0 around which rotate two point-like charges rotating in
|
||
|
||
opposite directions as shown in Figure 6.1 below.
|
||
|
||
These charges themselves rotate with a velocity c at a distance
|
||
|
||
r A (with r r = Const.). From 0 one can describe this by the
|
||
|
||
equation

||

m 2 r e 2 / 4r 2
|

|
||
and the angular momentum equation:

||

|
||
|

(33)
|
||
|

Eliminating the mass term between (31) and (33) this yields
|
||
|
||
e 2 / 2r
|
||
|
||
(34)
|
||
|
||
where e2/2r is the electrostatic energy of the rotating pair. We then
|
||
|
||
introduce a soliton-type solution
|
||

||

|

satisfies the relation (31) with r ((x vt) 2 (1 v 2 / c 2 ) 1 y 2 z 2 )1/ 2 i.e. 17
|
||
|
||
A0 0 :
|
||
|
||
(37)
|
||
|
||
so that one can add to A0 a linear wave, A (satisfying A =
|
||
|
||
(m2c 2 / 2 ) A ) which describes the new average paths of the extended
|
||
|
||
wave elements and piloted solitons. Within this model the question of the
|
||
|
||
interactions of a moving body (considered as excess or defect of field
|
||
|
||
density, above or below the aether’s neighboring average density) with a real aether appears immediately5.
|
||
|
||
As well known, as time went by, observations established the
|
||
|
||
existence of unexplained behavior of light and some new astronomical
|
||
|
||
phenomena which led to discovery of the Theory of Relativity.
|
||
|
||
In this work we shall follow a different line of interpretation and
|
||
|
||
assume that if one considers particles, and fields, as perturbations within
|
||
|
||
a real medium filling flat space time, then the observed deviations of
|
||
|
||
Newton’s law reflect the interactions of the associated perturbations (i.e.
|
||
|
||
observed particles and fields) with the perturbed average background
|
||
|
||
medium in flat space-time. In other terms we shall present the argument
|
||
|
||
(already presented by Ghosh et al. [26]) that the small deviations of
|
||
|
||
Newton’s laws reflect all known consequences of General Relativity
|
||
|
||
The result from real causal interactions between the perturbed local
|
||
|
||
background aether and its apparently independent moving collective
|
||
|
||
perturbations imply absolute total local momentum and angular
|
||
|
||
momentum conservation resulting from the preceding description of
|
||
|
||
vacuum elements as extended rigid structures.
|
||
|
||
6 Extending Newton’s Model with Inertia and Vacuum Drag
|
||
Starting from an aether built with moving small extended structures with an average real distribution isotropic in an inertial frame I0 (i.e. examining the effects in a given inertial frame I centered on a point Y of the real vacuum distribution on a test particle moving with absolute
|
||
|
||
5 According to Newton massive bodies move in the vacuum, with constant directional velocities, i.e. no directional acceleration, without any apparent relative friction » or drag » term. This is not true for accelerated forces (the equality of inertial and gravitational masses are a mystery) and apparent absolute motions proposed by Newton were later contested by Mach.
|
||
18
|
||
|
||
velocity V 0 and angular momentum 0 ) one can evaluate more
|
||
|
||
precisely, the collective interactions carried by this aether between two extended neighboring regions centered on points A and B with two centers of mass situated at XA and XB.
|
||
Starting with 0 , i.e. for gravitational effects, it appears
|
||
|
||
immediately
|
||
|
||
a) if one assumes the gravitational potential is spherical in the rest
|
||
|
||
frame I B of its source B,
|
||
|
||
b) that the motion of A undergoes a velocity dependent inertial induction
|
||
|
||
with respect to A i.e. a friction depending on the velocity v of A with
|
||
|
||
respect to B
|
||
|
||
c) that this motion is also submitted to an acceleration dependent inertial
|
||
|
||
with respect to I B i.e. also an acceleration depending on its
|
||
|
||
acceleration a measured in I B .
|
||
|
||
d) possible terms depending on higher order time derivations which we
|
||
|
||
will neglect in the present analysis we can write (6.19) the force on A
|
||
|
||
due to B in IB in the form F = FS+Fv+Fa where

|
||
|

we also accept the preceding velocity dependent analysis for contracting rods and retarded clocks then we should write G = G’ in (38) and take f (
|
||

|
||
|
||
we see they have exactly the same form; the difference of their coefficients being compatible (within our interpretation) since they correspond to opposite variations of the average vacuum density. Their interpretation in terms of 0 (for electromagnetism) and 0 (for
|
||
gravitation) also explains (at last qualitatively) why extended depressions repel or attract when they rotate through parallel or antiparallel directions and only attract when 0 . This also explains why a reduction of
|
||
attraction between two masses has been observed when one puts another mass between them (the LAGEOS satellite). In this model this similarity is indeed comparable to similar behaviors of vortices for gravitation and Tsunamis for electromagnetism on an ocean surface.
|
||
If one assumes the absolute local conservation of four-momentum and angular momentum in regions containing the preceding aether carrying its associated collective electromagnetic and gravitational motions one can evaluate the effects of their interactions. With a real physical aether there is no such thing as free electromagnetic or gravitational phenomena. Drag theories (described as inertial induction) are always present and responsible for Casimir type effects in the microscopic domain. Real consequence of the aether appear, at various levels, in the macroscopic and cosmological domains… as has already been suggested in the literature and tested in laboratory or astronomical phenomena. We only mention here:
|
||
1) Possible consequences of modifying and testing the Newton and Coulomb forces.
|
||
2) The redshift and variable velocity of electromagnetic waves results from the rotational inertial drag of extended photons moving in vacuum: an effect already observed in light traversing around the earth [28].
|
||
3) The possible measurable existence of the redshift of transverse gravitational waves… possible in the near future.
|
||
4) Observational redshift variations of light emitted by Pioneer close to the solar limb, i.e. also of photons grazing a massive object [28].
|
||
5) The observed anisotropy of the Hubble constant in various directions in the sky [28] associated with various galactic densities.
|
||
6) Observed torques on rotating spheres in the vicinity of large massive bodies. This also appears in some experiments, i.e.: a) Secular retardation of the earth’s rotation.
|
||
20
|
||
|
||
b) Earth-moon rotation in the solar system etc. 7) Apparent evolution with time of angular momentum in the solar-
|
||
planetary system. 8) Different variation of redshift of light traveling up and down in the
|
||
Earth’s gravitational field…Which also supports existence of photon mass.

7 Relativistic Maxwell's Equations in Complex Form
|
||
We will now outline the relativistic formalism which gives a more comprehensive explanation of the complexification scheme. Such issues as the Higgs (soliton) monopole depend on considering Lorentz invariance and relativistic causality constraints. We will also relate the complexification of Maxwell's equations to models of nonlocality. We examine, for example, the manner in which advanced potentials may explain the remote connectedness which is indicated by the Clauser test of Bell's theorem. Similar arguments apply to Young's double slit experiment. The collective coherent phenomena of superconductivity is also explainable by considering the relativistic field theoretic approach in which wave equations are solved in the complex Minkowski space (such as the Dirac equation).

7.1 Relativistic conditions on Maxwell's equations in complex geometries and the invariance of the line element
|
||
This section introduces the relativistic form of Maxwell's equations. The
|
||
fields E and B are defined in terms of ( A, ), the four vector potential; and the relativistic form of E and B is presented in terms of the tensor field, F (where indices and run 1 to 4). We then complexity F and
|
||
determine the expression for the four vector potential A A j , in
|
||
terms of F . (index j runs 1 to 3). Discussion of line element invariance is given in terms of F .
|
||
In section 6.8 we describe the complex form of A fields and through the formalism in this section we can relate this to the complex forms of
|
||
21
|
||
|
||
E and B . We utilize Weyl's action principle to demonstrate the validity
|
||
|
||
of the use of the complex form of F . Weyl relates the gravitational
|
||
|
||
potential, G , to the EM ‘geometerizing’ potential A , or geometrical
|
||
|
||
vector, using the principle of stationary action for all variations G and
|
||
|
||
A . The quantity A , or vector potential, which we identify with A ,
|
||
|
||
is related to F , the EM force field, by a set of gauge invariant relations.
|
||
|
||
The EM force F is independent of the gauge system. The curl of A has the important property
|
||
|
||
where F is
|
||
|
||
F
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
A x
|
||
|
||
A x
|
||
|
||
antisymmetric or F F , and
|
||
|
||
(41) changing ~ A to
|
||
|
||
A' A / x is a typical gauge transformation where the intrinsic
|
||
state of the world remains unchanged.
|
||
|
||
We define the four vector potential as A , which can be written in
|
||
|
||
terms of the three vector A j and , where is the fourth or temporal component of the field. The indices , run 1 to 4 and j runs 1 to 3.
|
||
|
||
Then we can write Maxwell's equations in compact notation in their
|
||
|
||
usual tensor form in terms of F , (for c = 1);
|
||
|
||

||

(42)
|

|

then the equations E 1/ cB / t and B 0 can be written
|
||
|
||
as F F F 0
|
||
|
||
(43)
|
||
|
||
x y z
|
||
|
||
or F 0 for x1 x, x2 y, x3 z, and x4 t .
|
||
|
||
To complexity the elements of F we can take conditions,
|
||
|
||
22
|
||
|
||
For F41, F42 , F43 iE and F23 , F32 , F12 B ,
|
||
|
||
or Ex , Ey , Ez iE and Bx , By , Bz B.
|
||
|
||
(44)
|
||
|
||
We can write the complex conjugate of the electric and magnetic
|
||
|
||
fields in terms of the complex conjugate of F or F* F . There is a
|
||
|
||
useful theorem stating [29] 123 F 4 F * or (xyz F t F *).
|
||
|
||
Then for F 23*, F 31*, F12* iE and F 41* , F 42* , F 43* B we obtain
|
||
|
||
F * / x 0 or F * 0 which gives the same symmetry between
|
||
|
||
real and imaginary components as ours and in Inomata's formalism. [30].
|
||
|
||
The expressions for the other two Maxwell equations E 4
|
||
|
||
and

be

obtained

by

|

introducing

||
|
||
the

|

concept
|
||
|
||
of
|
||
|
||
the vector potential in the Lorentz theory as first noticed by Minkowski
|
||
|
||
[31]; we have the four vector forms 1,2 ,3 A and4 i, then
|
||
|
||
B A and E 1 A . c t
|
||
|
||
Then
|
||
|
||
we
|
||
|
||
have
|
||
|
||
F
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
A x
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
A x
|
||
|
||
or
|
||
|
||
F A for the vector and scalar potentials A A1, A2 , A3, . If A
|
||
|
||
is a solution to
|
||
|
||
F
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
A
|
||
|
||
then '
|
||
|
||
|
||
|

||
|
||
inter-

|

changeably.
|
||
|
||
Then
|
||
|
||
from
|
||
|
||
Lorentz
|
||
|
||
theory
|
||
|
||
we
|

have

the

4D

as

|

|

or

|

|
||
The most general covariant group of transformations of the EM field
|
||
|
||
equations (more general than the Lorentz group) is formed by affine
|
||
|
||
transformations which transform the equation of the light cone, s2 0
|
||
|
||
23
|
||
|
||
into itself. (The properties of the spacetime manifold are defined in terms
|
||
|
||
of the constraints of the line element, which relate to the gravitational
|
||
|
||
potential, g . We also form an analogy of the metric space invariant to
|
||
|
||
the EM source vector, s ) [32].
|
||
|
||
This group contains the Lorentz transformations as well as inversion
|
||
|
||
with respect to a 4D sphere, or hyperboloid in real coordinates. Frank
|
||
|
||
[33] discusses the Weyl theory and gives a proof that the Lorentz group
|
||
|
||
together with the group of ordinary affine transformations is the only
|
||
|
||
group in which Maxwell's equations are covariant [33]. Recall that an
|
||
|
||
affine transformation acts as x x with an inverse
|
||
|
||
x
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
x'
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
|
||
The affine group contains all linear transformations and the group of affine transformations transforms s2 = 0 on the light cone into itself.
|
||
|
||
In the Weyl geometry, if we have from before, F and
|
||
|

|
||

(46b)
|
||
|

with the signature (+,+,+,-). Then using the theorem in W. Pauli [34],
|
||
|
||
F F F
|
||
|
||
(47)

and from before, F S and since 0 and then x 0 and

we have from

or

for our potential equation, where is the D'Alembertian operator, and

|

|

The important aspect of this consideration [35] is our ability to relate the EM potential to a corresponding spacetime metric interval s or s2. Hence we can construct the invariant relations for our fields in terms of our Lorentz invariance four space conditions. We can also relate the introduction of a complex spacetime to the complex expansion of the electric and magnetic fields in this section and demonstrate their self-
|
||
|
||
24
|
||
|
||
consistency. We will look at this in more detail at the end of this section where we consider a generalized affine connection. We can relate the
|
||
|
||
EM potential, A and4 to g as g and also to the square root of the
|
||
|
||
invariant, or s.
|
||
|
||
The key to the relationship of complex F and complex spacetime is
|
||
|
||
the analogy between and g .We can relate the EM scalar potential
|
||
|
||
into the interval of time as in Eq. (49), A S and we make the
|
||
|
||
analogy of A to g which is tied to the invariance conditions on s2.
|
||
|
||
Both potentials are then related to spacetime or spacetime interval
|
||
|
||
separation. Note that in the A s equation we have a g factor in order to form the invariant. In the equation for s2, the invariant is found directly as s2 g x x . We will write a set of invariant relations for the
|
||
|
||
case of complex E and B fields at the end of this section. We can relate
|
||
|
||
this then to the deSitter algebras and the complex Minkowski metric.
|
||
|
||
Note that we associate the Ex component of F or F41 Ex with4'
|
||
as follows:
|
||
|
||
F41
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Ex
|
||
|
||
4'
|
||
|
||
e r2
|
||
|
||
(51)
|
||
|
||
in which 4 e is associated with electric charge on the electron. This
|
||
|
||
approximation is made in the absence of a gravitational field. Maxwell's
|
||
|
||
equations are intended to apply to the case in which no field of force is
|
||
|
||
acting on the system or in the special system of Galilean coordinates
|
||
|
||
A Ax , Ay , Az , , where A j Ax , Ay , Az is the vector potential
|
||
|
||
and is the scalar potential and A is the covariant form. Also, for the
|
||
|
||
contravariant form, we have A Ax Ay Az , . And in empty
|
||
|
||
space we have
|
||
|
||
A 0
|
||
|
||
(52)
|
||
|
||
In non-empty space then
|
||
|
||
A J
|
||
|
||
(53)
|
||
|
||
or we can write this as
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
2 A
|
||
|
||
2 A t 2
|
||
|
||
J
|
||
|
||
(54)
|
||
|
||
which is true only approximately in the assumption of flat space for
|
||
|
||
Galilean coordinates. This is the condition which demands that we
|
||
|
||
consider the weak Weyl limit of the gravitational field.
|
||
|
||
The invariant integral, I for F is given by

The quantity, L is called the action integral of the EM field. Weyl [36]
|
||
|
||
demonstrates that the action integral is a Lagrangian function, or

L = dt

(56)
|

which is of the form L = (T – v)dt. By describing an electron in a field by
|
||
|
||
Weyl's formalism one has a more general but more complicated
|
||
|
||
formalism than the usual Einstein-Galilean formalism [37]. We can write
|
||
|
||
a generalized Lagrangian in terms of complex quantities. For example,
|
||
|
||
we form a modulus of the complex vector B as B 2 BB* BR2e BI2m.
|
||
|
||
This is the Lagrangian form for the real components of E and B in four
|
||
|
||
space. We can again consider E ERe iEIm and B BRe iBIm for the
|
||
|
||
complex forms of E and B . The complex Lagrangian in complex eight-
|
||
|

space becomes

|
||
Note that this is an 8D integral, six over space. Also all quantities of the integrand are real because they are squared quantities. We can also write a generalized Poynting vector and energy relationship. We also
|
||
|
||
have two equations which define a vector quantity A in EM theory
|
||
|
||
which corresponds to the gravitational potential g .We have

where E is the energy tensor and J is the charge and current vector. Two specific cases are for a region free from electrons, or

weak Weyl limit of the gravitational field, F J J where is

. In
|
||
|
||
Weyl's
|
||
|
||
4D
|
||
|
||
world
|
||
|
||
then,
|
||
|
||
matter
|
||
|
||
cannot be constituted without electric charge and current. But since the
|
||
|
||
density of matter is always positive the electric charge and current inside
|
||
|
||
an electron must be a space-like vector, the square of its length being
|
||
|
||
negative. To quote from Eddington:
|
||
|
||
It would seem to follow that the electron cannot be built up of elementary electrostatic charges but resolves into something more akin to magnetic charges [38].
|
||
|
||
Perhaps we can use the structure of Maxwell's equations in complex form to demonstrate that this magnetic structure is indeed the complex part of the field.
|
||
In considering F and A as complex entities rather than four space real forms, we may need complex forms of the current density. Also the relationship between F and A has a spatial integral over charge. If we
|
||
consider F and A as complex quantities, we see possible implications for the charge e or differential charge de being a complex quantity.
|
||
27
|
||
|
||
Perhaps the expression e eRe ieIm is not appropriate, but a form for the
|
||
|
||
charge integral is, such as:
|
||
|
||
deRedeIm r
|
||
|
||
where
|
||
|
||
r rRe irIm is more
|
||
|
||
appropriate. Fractional charges such as for quarks, the issue of the source of charge (in an elementary particle) and its fundamental relationship to magnetic phenomena (magnetic domains) are essential considerations and may be illuminated by this or a similar formalism. Neither the source of electrics or magnetics is known, although a great deal is known about their properties.
|
||
Faraday's conclusion of the identical nature of the magnetic field of a loadstone and a moving current may need reexamination as well as the issue of Hertzian and non-Hertzian waves. Again, a possible description of such phenomena may come from a complex geometric model [39]. As discussed, one can generalize Maxwell's equations and look at real and imaginary components which comprise a symmetry in the form of the equations. We can examine in detail what the implications of the complex electric and magnetic components have in deriving a Coulomb equation and examine the possible way, given a rotational coordinate, this formalism ties in with the 5D geometries of Kaluza and Klein.
|
||
|
||
Starting F , A and J , Maxwell's equations can be compactly
|
||
|
||
written as F x
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
J and
|
||
|
||
again, F
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
A x
|
||
|
||
A x
|
||
|
||
and F
|
||
|
||
J . Now
|
||
|
||
suppose that an electron moves in such a way that its own field on the
|
||
|
||
average just neutralizes an applied external field F' in the region
|
||
|
||
occupied by the electron. The value of F averaged for all the elements
|
||
|
||
of change constituting the electron is given by
|
||
|
||

|
||

|
||
where 1/a is the average value of 1/r12 for every pair of points in the 28
|
||
|
||
electron and a will then be a length comparable to the radius of the sphere throughout which the charge is spread. The mass of the electron is
|
||
m e2 / 4 a. We thus have a form of Coulomb's law, as we have shown
|
||
the complex form of F to be consistent with this and Maxwell's equations and that we will have a real and an imaginary Coulomb's law.
|
||
Self-consistency can be obtained in the model by assuming that all physical variables are complex. Thus, as before, we assumed that space, time, matter, energy, charge, etc. were on an equal footing as coordinates of a Cartesian space quantized variable model. It is reasonable then to complexity space and time as well as the electric and magnetic fields and to determine the relationship of the equations governing standard physical phenomena. Also to be examined in detail is any unifying properties of the model in terms of complexifying physical quantities as well as examining any new predictions that can be made.
|
||
Faraday discusses some possible implications of considering A ,
|
||
rather than F as fundamental in such a way that A may act in a
|
||
domain where F is not observed [39]. In a later section we present a complexification of A rather than E and B (in F ).
|
||
Continuing with the relationship of F , the vector A , and scalar
|
||
|
||
potential, and the metric space, s let us relate our complex EM field, F , to complex spacetime. We have the volume element
|
||
|
||
d gdxdydz for
|
||
|
||
ds2 g dx dx
|
||
|
||
(62)
|
||
|
||
and for a particular vector component of F g f .
|
||
|
||
Then we have
|
||
|
||
F
|
||
|
||
1 f g g x
|
||
|
||
(63)
|
||
|

a22 1, a33 1and a44 1, all the other elements are zero, i.e. the

|
||
|
||
imaginary for the general case so that we obtain forms for space and time
|
||
|
||
components as being complex; for example,
|
||
|
||
xs' x3 i x4
|
||
|
||
(69)
|
||
|
||
for x4 t, 1 2 1/2 and v / c. Other examples involve
|
||
|
||
other combinations of complex space and time which must also be consistent with unitarity.
|
||
Let us briefly examine the effect of a gravitational field on an electron. Then we will discuss some multidimensional models in which attempts are made to relate the gravitational and EM forces. Some of these multidimensional models are real and some are complex. The structure of the metric may well be determined by the geometric constraints set up by the coupling of the gravitational and EM forces. These geometric constraints govern allowable conditions on such phenomena as types of allowable wave transmission and the manner in which remote space-times are connected. Nonlocality or remote spacetime connections have implications for EM phenomena such as Young's double slit experiment and Bell's theorem.
|
||
31
|
||
|
||
In fact, these experiments are more general than just the properties of the photon, that is, both experiments can be and have been conducted with photons and other particles; and therefore what are exhibited are general quantum mechanical properties. Remote connection and/or transmission and nonlocality are more general than just EM phenomena but certainly have their application in electrodynamics and the nonlocal properties of the space-time metric can be tested by experiments involving classical and quantum electrodynamic properties.
|
||
|
||
7.2 Complex E & B in real 4-space & the complex Lorentz condition
|
||
|
||
Another attempt to relate the relativistic and electro- magnetic theories is
|
||
|
||
the approach of Wyler in his controversial work at Princeton. The model
|
||
|
||
of Kaluza and Klein use a fifth rotational dimension to develop a model
|
||
|
||
to relate EM and gravitational phenomena. This geometry is one-to-one
|
||
|
||
mappable to our complex Minkowski space. Wyler introduces a complex
|
||
|
||
Lorentz group with similar motives to those of Kaluza and Klein [41,42].
|
||
|
||
Wyler’s formalism appears to relate to our complex Maxwell formalism
|
||
|
||
and to that of Kaluza and Klein. The actual fundamental formalism for
|
||
|
||
the calculation of the fine-structure constant, , is most interesting but
|
||
|
||
perhaps not definitive.

||

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
e2c0 2h
|
||
|
||
(70)
|
||
|
||
where e is elementary charge, 0 vacuum permittivity and 0 the magnetic
|
||
|
||
constant or vacuum permeability. An anthropic explanation has been
|
||
|
||
given as the basis for the value of the fine-structure constant by Barrow
|
||
|
||
and Tipler. They suggest that stable matter and intelligent living systems
|
||
|
||
would not exist if were much different because carbon would not be
|
||
|
||
produced in stellar fusion [43].
|
||
|
||
Wyler [44] introduces a complex description of spacetime by
|
||
|
||
introducing complex generators of the Lorentz group. He shows the Minkowski Mn group is conformally isomorphic to the S0(n,2) group and then introduces a Lie algebra of M4 which is isomorphic to S0(5,2). From
|
||
|
||
his five and four spaces he generates a set of coefficients that generate
|
||
|
||
the value of the fine structure constant, . It is through introducing the
|
||
complex form of the Lorentz group, L(Tn) that he forms an isomorphism
|
||
|
||
32
|
||
|
||
to S0(n,2). Wyler calculates the EM coupling constant in terms of geometric
|
||
group representations. He expands the generators of the set of linear transformations, Tn, of the group L(Tn). By definition, L(Tn) is isomorphic to the Poincairé group P(Mn), where Mn is the Minkowski space with signature (+++-) or, more generally, (1, n-l). The conformal group C(Mn) is then isomorphic to the S0(n,2) group, which is of quadratic form and signature (n,2).
|
||
Wyler then chooses the complex form
|
||
|
||
Tn = Rn + iVn
|
||
|
||
(71)
|
||
|
||
(where Rn represents TRe , and Vn represents TIm) for y Rn , or y is an
|
||
element of Rn and all y's are y > 0. The Poincairé group, P(Mn) is the semidirect product of the Lorentz group S0(l, n-l) and the group of
|
||
transformations Rn then is g S0(n,2). Then C(M4) S0(4,2) is the invariance group of Maxwell's equations.
|
||
The hyperboloids of the 4-mass shell momentum operators are p12 ,..., p42 = m2 from the representation of the Lie group geometry of M4
|
||
isomorphic to S0(5,2). The intersection of the D5 (five-dimensional) hyperspace with D4 gives a structure reduced on D4 which is colinear to the reduction of a Casimir operator function, f(z) harmonic in D4.
|
||
The coefficients of the Poisson group Dn as D4 and D5 give the value
|
||
of ~ 1/137.036. Actually, it is the coefficients of the Poisson nucleus Pn(z, ) harmonic in Dn which gives the value of in terms of z where
|
||
z is, in general, a complex function and is a spinor. The value is
|
||
obtained from the isomorphic groups S0(5) x SO(2) and S0(4) x SO(2)
|
||
which gives (9 / 8 4) (V(D5)) = 1/137.037 where V(D5) is a Euclidean
|
||
value of the D5 domain [45]. The expression for the Poisson nucleus is given by Hau [45]. Note
|
||
that the Wyler calculation is another example of the relationship between a fifth dimension and a complex "space" of Lorentz transformation. The Wyler theory appears to strongly support the fundamental nature of geometric models. If one can calculate the fine structure constant or any other force field coupling constants from first principles, this gives great impetus to the concept that geometric constraints are extremely significant and may potentially be able to explain the origin of scientific
|
||
33
|
||
|
||
law. In particular, we may be able to at least describe the major force fields (nuclear, EM, weak, and gravitational in terms of a geometric structure and, perhaps, by this formalism demonstrate the unifying aspects of major forces of nature [46].
|
||
Wyler also associates the conformal group C(Mn) S0(4,2) with the invariant group of Maxwell equations. The mass shell conditions on the hyperboloids of mass form the representation of the Lie algebras of M4. Isomorphism to S0(5,2) and S(4,2) intersection lead to a model of the intersection of Maxwell's field and the elementary particle field, i.e. a possible unification of EM and weak interactions [47].
|
||
In the presence of an external gravitational field, the cosmological term is small and finite and depends on the state of vacuum state polarization. In fact, the cosmological term is given by the sum of all vacuum diagrams. In the supersymmetry then, the cosmological term vanishes and therefore the total zero-point energy density of the free fields vanishes [48].
|
||
|
||
Let us return to our complex E and B fields and suggest the relation
|
||
|
||
of our formalism to the Wyler formulation. Using the invariance of line
|
||
|
||
elements s X 2 c2t2 for r ct X 2 for X 2 x2 y2 z2 , to
|
||
|
||
measure the distance from a test charge to an electron charge, we can
|
||
|
||
write for the imaginary part of the complex Maxwell equation

|
||
|
||
and integrating the above equation as [30,49]

The distance function R(r) over the volume element d is assumed to be
|
||
|
||
point-symmetrical and vanishes for positive real energy states. The
|
||
|
||
volume d is constructed to include a small real domain where a point
|
||
|
||
charge is located, avoiding possible divergences. The negative value of
|
||
|
||
the energy integral leads us to hypothesize about what the source of this
|
||
|
||
energy may be. Perhaps it can be related to vacuum state polarization in a
|
||
|
||
Fermi sea model, as we have presented before [10]. Another possible
|
||
|
||
association is with advanced potential models such as those of de
|
||
|
||
Beauregard [50,51]. A third and perhaps the most interesting association
|
||
|
||
would be with the complex coordinate space [52,53].
|
||
|
||
In Weyl's non-Riemannian geometry, [36] he presents a model that
|
||
|
||
does not apply to actual spacetime but to a graphic representation of that
|
||
|
||
relational structure, which is the basis in which both EM and metric
|
||
|
||
variables are interrelated [38]. This is the deep significance of the
|
||
|
||
geometry and relates to work of Hanson and Newman [54] on the
|
||
|
||
complex Minkowski space as well as Wyler's work [44] on complex
|
||
|
||
group theories, such as complex Lorentz invariance, where he attempts to
|
||
|
||
reconcile Maxwell's equations and relativity theory. The examination of
|
||
|
||
the hyperspheres of the de Sitter space is presented by Ellis, where he
|
||
|
||
attempts to unify EM and gravitational theory [55]. Eddington has
|
||
|
||
suggested that the Weyl formalism, developed around 1923, is one of the
|
||
|
||
major advances in the work of Einstein.
|
||
|
||
There is a significant difference between Einstein's generalization of
|
||
|
||
Galilean geometry and Weyl's generalization of Riemannian geometry.
|
||
|
||
The gravitational force field renders Galilean geometry useless and
|
||
|
||
therefore the move to Riemannian geometry was made. In terms of
|
||
|
||
Weyl's geometry, we find that the EM force, F , is comparable to the surface of an electron of 4 x 1018 volts/cm, [38] and the size of the charge
|
||
|
||
was compatible with the radius of curvature of space.
|
||
|
||
For the EM mass, me e2 / 4 a, we have
|
||
|
||
1 mg ds 8 G
|
||
|
||
g d
|
||
|
||
(75)
|
||
|
||
where we denote the curvature R by G for the general case of both gravitational and EM field. The ratio of the masses mg / me relates to the ratio of field strengths.
|
||
35
|
||
|
||
7.3 Complex EM Forces in a Gravitational Field
|
||
We have considered the weak Weyl limit of the gravitational force in previous calculations of this chapter. We will briefly outline how the complexification of F can be formulated geometrically. We show that we obtain the same results for the relationship of mass and charge.
|
||
Let v denote the velocity vector as v dX / dS of the electron in the field, and 0 denote the proper density of charge, called e. Then the current is given by J 0v . Let F refer to the applied external force of the electron. Returning to Eddington's calculation [38], we then have
|
||
|
||
mA A F 0 A .
|
||
|
||
(76)
|
||
|
||
We can also write 0 as e in the above equation.
|
||
In the limit of our gravitational field we can neglect the gravitational field as an external field or also the gravitational energy of the electron. To discuss the presence of an electron in a gravitational field we start from the field equations with R the Ricci curvature tensor and g the
|
||
metric tensor for the case where no matter is present we have:
|
||
|

Figure 2 Plotted are the geodesies of the deSitter space which represent the field lines of the EM field. Various conditions for signal propagation are given.
|

How does this relate to the de Sitter spaces? In the de Sitter algebras the proper time in all inertial frames of intervals is the same (or equivalent). This is the powerful absolute of the de Sitter space. The
|
||
38
|
||
|
||
proper time interval d on its geodesic world-line in the de Sitter
|
||
|
||
picture is given as
|
||

|
||
|

(85)
|
||
|
||
for dX 2 dx2 dy2 dz2 in Euclidean coordinates and t is the cosmic
|
||
time. The metric form of the de Sitter universe represents the metric form consistent with the observed (approximately flat, low density) universe that we observe. It is constant with Einstein dynamic equations and is therefore consistent with the Hubble's expansion [56].
|
||
Ellis [55] suggests that geometry and EM can be unified by a rigorous analysis of time. The hyperspheres of de Sitter space can be represented as a five-dimensional metric manifold which tie the geometric models of gravity and electromagnetism to the structure of matter, and time is not
|
||
primary but a property of the matter (elementary particles). If t is
|
||
allowed in the de Sitter space, then the typical geodesies represent what appears to be EM field lines. This is the manner in which Ellis attempts to describe the EM phenomena as geometric!
|
||
The conformal invariant is given as
|
||
|
||
ds2
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
1 R2
|
||
|
||
dx2 dy2 dz2 dR2
|
||
|
||
(86)
|
||
|
||
which depends only on the ratios of distances and is thus independent of
|
||
scale. Let t = - l nR, then R = e-t and ds2 e2t dx2 dy2 dz2 dt2
|
||
which is the de Sitter metric element. Ellis' geodesies of his angle metric correspond to geodesies of the de Sitter space (Figure 6.3a). In Figure 6.3b, they are time-like subluminal geodesies, and in 3c they are luminal, and in 6.3d they are space-like superluminal. The figures also contain Euclidean space planes as spheres of infinite radii.
|
||
Feinberg [57] suggests that the first step in the test of multidimensional geometric models is to predict some simple phenomena such as the Coulomb attraction-repulsion; note that Figure 6.3 may point a way to do this, because if we can relate this five-dimensional geometry to the complex geometry, then we can relate this complex geometry to Coulomb interactions.
|
||
The curvature of space may then be related to a rotation or angular momentum component as a Kaluza-Klein 5th dimension. We can form an
|
||
39
|
||
|
||
isomorphism of this geometry to an 8D real-complex coordinate geometry which appears to not only unify EM theory and gravitational theory but may also resolve some other apparent paradoxes [58,59].
|
||
We have seen that the introduction of the complex E and B fields or complexifying the field, F , can be handled in such a way as to not distort the electric charge on the electron. We also find consistency with the five-dimensional geometry of Kaluza and Klein, the 8D Minkowski space, and the deSitter space where the geodesic represents the EM field lines. We can also maintain Lorentz invariance conditions for both real and complex transforms on the line element.

8 Summation and Conclusions This model exploits: a) the analogy (underlined by Puthoff) between the four vector density
|
||
representation of gravity and electromagnetism in flat space-time [4]. b) the possibility of describing the causality of quantum mechanical
|
||
phenomena in terms of extended solitons piloted i.e. by quantum mechanical potentials, by real guiding collective waves on a chaotic, polarizable Dirac-type aether - both moving in a flat space-time [28].
|
||
40
|
||
|
||
c) the representation of this real vacuum (Dirac aether) in terms of the chaotic distribution of real extended elements moving in the flat spacetime. d) the introduction of internal motions within extended sub-elements and
|
||
their relation with local collective motions i.e. the E mc 2 h relation. e) the representation of the electron (and its associated pilot-wave) in terms of extended elements with a point-like charge rotating around a center of mass [28].
|
||
These assumptions yield realistic physical characteristics to known empirical properties and predict new testable relations besides known properties of elementary particles. The present model must thus be extended, by associating new internal motions to these known properties and interpret them in terms of new strong spin-spin and spin-orbit interactions.
|
||
Our attempt is justified by the existence of EM phenomena not explained by Maxwell’s equations. Barrett [28] has stated that Maxwell’s theory does not explain the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect and AltahulerAharonov-Spivak (AAS) effects. It does not cover the topological phase question i.e. the Berry-Aharonov-Anandan, Pancharatnam and Chio-Wu phase-rotation effects. An inclusion of Stoke’s theorem is necessary and results of Ehrenberg and Siday must be analyzed. The quantum results of Josephson, Hall, de Haas and van Alphen Sagnac-type experiments also need clarification.
|
||
The integration of gravity and electromagnetism however, is not finished, because unification is so far only accomplished in terms of bumps and holes rotating on the stochastic surface of the polarized Dirac Vacuum. Unification must also occur in terms of the richer Higher Dimensional (HD) structure of vacuum topology where one would show the geometric origin of charge and how bumps and holes transform into each other through quasi-particle like transitions piloted by advanced and retarded potentials of the fundamental unitary field itself.
