First just a quick note to myself to follow up on something. The boys and girls at CERN are intothe idea that all particles are becs. Because they believe that the speed of gravity and of light are the same we have a cosine shaped energy well. But in order to hide gravitational energy we need to pop it into a very thin spike. A quick graph where y = cos (n * the natural log of x ) gives me something that looks as though it fits the bill. Here n is a very large number, the reciprocal of h.
The graph has a bunching of frequencies near zero then the wavelenght becomes larger and larger as x increases. What's odd about it, is that the cosine wave is at a maximum at one. A change in n, doesn't alter that peak at one. The wave propagates very fast at values above one and very slow, in the opposite direction, below one. It looks like that reverse slow wave alters the amplitude of the very dense cluster of frequencies near zero. It doesn't alter them all and I can't see any obvious pattern, they jump about all over the place as the slow wave does its plus and minus routine.
Hi Jim, implicit in what you say, is the notion tht you know what these "real events" are. You may well do but other people believe that they have an interpretation of "real events" that is at least adequate to an understanding of the universe. People are not being deliberately perverse, if you can explain "real events", even if it means that everything once believed gets stood on its head, then people will listen. They might not like it but they will listen, they'll have to. Note that I said stand on its head. We can have a view that is substantially correct but is a case of the tail wagging the dog. I think that that correction, when it comes, will let us move on in physics. The baby will not be thrown out with the bath water, and after a little while of calming ruffled feathers, everyone will be happy until the next crisis.
