Wave Structure MatterThe Wave Structure Matter (WSM) model is a fringe theory in the category of Theoretical Physics due to the novelty of the field. It was proposed again, by modification, by Milo Wolff during his attempt to find the cause of the de Broglie wavelength in Quantum Theory (Louis-Victor de Broglie). The theory revisits the idea of an aether that encapsulates all of space-time. The aether is redefined as an energy field that defines the electromagnetic energy in a region, reminiscent of the aether of Maxwell, Kelvin, and Tesla. This explains away the wave-particle duality. Concept The particle is defined in the WSM model as a spherical standing wave with an intensity, decreasing with distance from the wave center. This wave is termed the quantum wave. The particle is not regarded as a fixed point or "ball," but a quantum wave, with a size that is proportional to the wavelength. This fundamental element is sometimes referred to as an oscillon, and is thought to project the properties of an electron or a positron, which is inferred by the phase of the wave. The important notions of this model are: - There exists a medium for the propagation of electomagnetic radiation in the form of waves.
The model makes no claims to the contents of the medium, only the effects. There are no absolute frames of reference in the medium. The aether model assumes that the procedure used in the Michelson-Morley experiment would always return a negative result. Several hypotheses exists which explain the result. - This medium forms a scalar field, contrary to the vector medium used by some physicists.
All vector fields are operations of the scalar field. - The field can be summarized by the wave equation:
-
Instead of interpreting the wave function as a probability distribution of the particle, the particle is represented by the wave function. Properties - The electric interaction can be deduced by the notion that standing waves in supplementary phases can attract, and in complementary phases can repel.
- Other particles are compositions and interactions of these standing waves.
- The fundamental forces and quantum mechanical effects are finding explainations in the WSM model.
History (by Milo Wolff after summarizing and paraphrasing) (By Nicholas Cooper) The idea was conceived over 150 years ago by William Kingdon Clifford who has become the father of the algebra of geometry. He observed space to have the following properties: - Small portions of space are in fact analogous to little hills on a surface which is on the average flat, namely that the ordinary laws of geometry are not valid in them.
- This property of being curved or distorted is continually being passed on from one portion of space to another after the manner of a wave.
- This variation of the curvature of space is what really happens in that phenomenon which we call the motion of matter, whether ponderable or ethereal.
- In this physical world, nothing else takes place but this variation subject to the law of continuity.
(This statement was also a look at the curvature of space-time that was mathematically constructed by Einstein.) In 1937, Erwin Schrödinger proposed a quantum wave structure to eliminate discrete point particles, writing "What we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing but shapes and variations in the structure of space. Particles are just appearances (schaumkommen)." In 1945, Wheeler and Feynman attempted to find the energy transfer mechanism of the electron - typically light. The two probed the idea of a partial wave structure for this interaction. During this same time, Einstein was working on a generalized theory of gravitation to unite the fundamental forces of nature. In his theory, he considered the particle to be an immensely dense region of space which form the subatomic particles. His death in 1955 left the theory unsolved. In the modern view of quantum mechanics, electrons can only be located within a statistically determined area, and are not perceived to be "point-like." Several principles have been discussed to ascribe reason to these properties. External links and resources * Matter is made of waves
