Let there be light

 Have completed my list of publications. It may be useful, as there are links allowing to view each of them.

Probably there are still some mistakes. Will fix it with time. Right now working still on photons. There is nothing more important than LIGHT!

de Holanda, Francisco (1545), "The First Day of Creation", 
De Aetatibus Mundi Imagines.

1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4  And God saw the light, and it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.

An Introduction to QBism with an Application to the Locality of Quantum Mechanics

Christopher A. Fuchs, N. David Mermin, and R¨udiger Schack

"We give an introduction to the QBist interpretation of quantum mechanics. We note that it removes the paradoxes, conundra, and pseudo-problems that have plagued quantum foundations for the past nine decades. 

...

Unlike Copenhagen, QBism explicitly takes the “subjective” or “judgmental” or “personalist” view of probability, 5–9 which, though common among contemporary statisticians and economists, is still rare among physicists: probabilities are assigned to an event by an agent "

I am not buying it. Or better, I give to this interpretation my subjective probability being 100% false and misleading.

On Quantum Theory

B. G. Englert

" “Collapse of the state” or “wave function collapse” are popular synonyms for state reduction. The connotation that the transition in (49) is a dramatic dynamical process, as if the physical system were evolving, is clearly misleading. The various mathematical models that, exactly or approximately, accomplish the state reduction (49) as a process in time result from a category mistake: The statistical operator is not a physical object or a property of a physical object, it describes the object by encoding what we know about it, and state reduction is the bookkeeping device for updating the description. An electron carries its mass and charge around, but not “its” statistical operator. It is worth recalling here that different physicists may very well use different, equally correct, statistical operators for predictions about that same electron."

I am not buying it. "what we know about it"? Who are those "we"? And what happens to quantum mechanics (and the whole world with it) when "we" go to sleep?

" Is quantum theory well defined?

– Is the interpretation of quantum theory clear?

– Is quantum theory local?

– Is quantum evolution reversible?

– Do wave functions collapse?

– Is there instant action at a distance?

– Where is Heisenberg’s cut?

– Is Schrodinger’s cat half dead and half alive?

– Is there a “measurement problem”?

...

– Yes, quantum theory well defined.

– Yes, quantum theory has a clear interpretation.

– Yes, quantum theory is a local theory.

– No, quantum evolution is not reversible.

– No, wave functions do not collapse; you reduce your state.

– No, there is no instant action at a distance.

– Heisenberg’s cut is where you put it.

– No, Schr¨odinger’s cat is not half dead and half alive.

– No, there is no “measurement problem.”"

"you reduce your state" What a nonsense! Shameless propaganda!

Alfred North Whitehead

"Since Whitehead's metaphysics described a universe in which all entities experience, he needed a new way of describing perception that was not limited to living, self-conscious beings. The term he coined was "prehension," which comes from the Latin prehensio, meaning "to seize".^[111] The term is meant to indicate a kind of perception that can be conscious or unconscious, applying to people as well as electrons."

I like Whitehead! Have to study his ideas!

Whitehead on God:

Alfred North Whitehead

Religion in the making: Lowell lectures 1926

"God is that function in the world by reason of which our purposes are directed to ends which in our own consciousness are impartial as to our own interests. He is that element in life in virtue of which judgment stretches beyond facts of existence to values of existence. He is that element in virtue of which our purposes extend beyond values for ourselves to values for others. He is that element in virtue of which the attainment of such a value for others transforms itself into value for ourselves.

He is the binding element in the world. The consciousness which is individual in us, is universal in him: the love which is partial in us is all-embracing in him. Apart from him there could be no world, because there could be no adjustment of individuality.  (...)"

Piano Concerto No. 5 (Beethoven)

Beethoven felt the Napoleonic Wars reaching Vienna in early 1809 and completed writing the piano concerto in April while Vienna was under siege by Napoleon's armies. He wrote to his publisher in July 1809 that there was "nothing but drums, cannons, men, misery of all sorts" around him. To save his hearing, he fled to his brother's cellar and covered his ears with pillows.

"Discipline means taking the hard road—the uphill road.

To do what is right.

For you and for others.

...

Where does the switch come from? The overdrive. The berserker mode. The full-on destroyer that will not stop?

I think this is something that is learned.

And it is a hard lesson and not everyone gets it.

And it is an important lesson.

A critical one.

It is the thing that allows you to go the extra distance.

To dig a little deeper.

To push a little harder.

To get after it.

And it actually takes two opposing forces to bring it to life.

It takes both emotion and logic to reach your maximum potential, to really give everything you have, to go beyond your limits.

Because emotion and logic will both reach their limitations.

And when one fails, you need to rely on the other.

When it just doesn’t make any logical sense to go on, that’s when you use your emotion, your anger, your frustration, your fear, to push further, to push you to say one thing: I don’t stop.

When your feelings are screaming that you have had enough, when you think you are going to break emotionally, override that emotion with concrete logic and willpower that says one thing: I don’t stop.

Fight weak emotions with the power of logic; fight the weakness of logic with the power of emotion.

And in the balance of those two, you will find the strength and the tenacity and the guts to say to yourself:

I. DON’T. STOP.

UNTIL THE END

P.S.7. 23-12-23 12:54 Still fighting with photons. Finally happy with the list of publications. It looks now relatively tidy.

P.S.8. 24-12-23 16:38

Miracle happened just while ago! My beloved Bessel function state on a circle came out from photon's position operator with commuting components! Can't believe. I secretly hoped that it will be so, but probability that this is indeed the case I estimated to be  truly ZERO. And yet!

Merry Christmas

 Now I need to write it all down. Deadline December 31.

P.S.10 26-12-23 12:21

From Sam Torode "Secrets of the Mind: Ralph Waldo Emerson's Keys to Expansive Mental Powers"

1. "Wherever we look in nature, our own reflection comes staring back at us.
2. The mind can’t be directly observed—only described by analogy.
3. What happens in our fields and gardens happens within us, too.
4. Thoughts, attitudes, emotions, and morals are contagious.
5. Knowledge squared is wisdom, and wisdom squared is virtue.
6. Somewhere, sometime, we have played this game of life before.
7. Nature is saturated with divinity; each particle carries the power of the universe.
8. As children of the universe, we are all born creators.
9. All of nature is a metaphor of mind.
10. The world is fundamentally mental.

"Light, then, consists in the vibrating motion of a medium, which must, of course, fill all space. This is called the ether.

In the fact that the theory of a cosmic ether explains fully all the phenomena of radiation, refraction, diffraction and polarization of light is the strongest argument in favour of the theory.

Of late, gravitation, molecular action, magnetic, electric, and electro dynamic attractions and repulsions have thus been explained.

 Sensible and latent heat, electricity and magnetism themselves have been of late almost satisfactorily explained by the theory of the all pervading ether. "

"Kant’s great achievement was the discovery that ‘time, space and causation are modes of thought’, but Vedânta taught this ages ago and called it Mâyâ. Schopenhauer stands on reason only and rationalizes the Vedas . . . Sankara maintained the orthodoxy of the Vedas. "

 

—Vivekananda, Hindu philosopher 

 Interesting, but I do not necessarily completely agree with all of the above.

"He never wrote theories, or for the sake of writing; but he wrote when he had a message, and it became a message only when he had lived it out in his own life, and knew that it was good. Thus he wrote facts, which he had proven by practice."

"In  all  forms  of  progress,  avoidance  of  the  bad  always  precedes 

acceptance and knowledge of the good, just as a child at school learns to 

do  its  lessons  right  by  having  repeatedly  pointed  out  to  it  how  it  has 

done them wrong. If one does not know what is wrong and how to avoid 

it, how can he know what is right and how to practice it? Bad, or untrue, 

actions  are  those  that  spring  from  a  consideration  of  one’s  own 

happiness only, and ignore the happiness of others, that arise in violent 

disturbances  of  the  mind  and  unlawful  desires,  or  that  call  for 

concealment in order to avoid undesirable complications. Good or true 

actions are those that spring from a consideration for others, that arise in 

calm reason and harmonious thought framed on moral principles or that 

will not involve the doer in shameful consequences if brought into the 

full light of day. "

02-01-24 11:44 On Christmas Eve I wrote: " Now I need to write it all down. Deadline December 31." 

Today we have January 2nd, the deadline has passed, and I am still "writing it all down". 

To write it all in a crystal-clear way - that is my aim. 

But to write it down in a crystal-clear way, first I must have it all crystal-clear in my head. And that is quite a task! Working on it.

And yes, I know, there is a danger....

"... we have a very unhealthy habit of making the product - our intended result - the goal, instead of the process of getting there.  This is evident in so many activities in our everyday life.  We become fixated on our intended goal and completely miss out on the joy present in the process of achieving it. We erroneously think that there is a magical point that we are going to get to and then we will be happy. We look at the process of getting there as almost a necessary nuisance we have to go through in order to get to our goal."

Question 150 : Is time multidimensional?

Answer : For evolving entities, such as humans, obviously yes.

Question 151 : Why is it impossible to get information about the nature of time?

Answer : It is a mystery behind seven seals. It is dangerous for man to be allowed to play with time. He is selfish, resourceful and can bring harm to others. His development is not yet sufficient to acquire such information.
