"It is interesting that the modular hierarchy of the I-Ching also is a "wave of probability", and that if the electron is conceived as a concrescence, then, naturally, at the point of maximum symmetry, one might expect its appearance". O.E. Oeric.
Even if we don't have the ability to measure these things, we will still be able to use the phase change at the appropriate time. What does that mean, you may ask? Reversed phase waves and superluminal waves are the stuff of thought and prayer. I predict that between now and the event of the phase change, there exists a "winding up" that can be interpreted as a cycle which repeats in ever shorter increments, until it repeats almost instantly, in its last cycle on Dec 21, 2012. We are in the middle of these cyclings now. As the cycling gets tighter and tighter 2, more thoughts and prayers will be answered as external events become darker and darker. In other words, we will always have a mechanism that will bring us what we expect. It may not be measured easily but that is no reason to think it won't work.
Einstein claimed that the speed of light is a constant: (c) = 3x10^8 m/s. Then he showed that matter was essentially the same as energy by the relation E = Mo c^2, where Mo is the rest mass of a particle.
Special Relativity tells us that if you start going very fast, when you get to relativistic speeds, drawing close to (c), things happen that prevent you from ever reaching (c), much less exceeding that speed limit.
* M1 = Mo / (1-(v/c)^2)^1/2. (Mo is rest mass, M1 is moving mass.)
According to this relation of velocity to mass that Einstein derived, the faster a particle goes, the more mass it has. It takes more and more energy to boost the speed of your little physical particle made of matter-wave packets any faster as it approaches light speed, and to reach (c) would take an infinite amount of mass-energy. When v = c, the ratio becomes unity, and the whole expression in the denominator goes to zero, which renders the equation meaningless unless M1 can become infinite, which is not likely, or the rest mass Mo can become 0, which is the case with light. So Einstein's equation suggests that whatever moves at c essentially becomes light and has no rest mass, while anything with mass must move slower than c....
What if v>c? For example, suppose v = 2c. ,Then v/c = 2, and the denominator becomes (-3)^1/2, or (3^1/2 i). The mass M1 of the superluminal object shifts into the imaginary dimension (and so does Mo). This ,dimension is orthogonal to the ordinary "mass dimension". M1 at zero velocity is, equal to Mo. Then it grows toward infinity as its speed increases. At light speed it reaches infinity, but suddenly jumps back to zero rest mass at c. Going beyond c the velocity goes to larger and larger multiples of c, and the mass of M1 goes to smaller ,and smaller multiples of Mo in the imaginary dimension. Its rest mass must be imaginary, and its moving mass is also imaginary. Sometimes these odd creatures are called tachyons. Tachyons always move faster than c, but no one has seen one -- supposedly. Another interesting aspect of this relativity equation is that it permits, the possibility of negative mass in both the real and the imaginary dimensions. Even, at subluminal speeds there is no reason that M1 and/or Mo can't have negative values. Suppose v = .2c.
* Mo^2 / (M1)^2 = 1 - (.2c/c)^2 = .6.
* (+-)Mo / (+-)M1 = (+-) .6^1/2.
What negative mass and imaginary mass are (not to speak of negative imaginary mass!) presents an interesting question. Mr. Einstein never really gave an answer to these funny possibilities. Most physicists simply assume that part of the mathematical model doesn't fit reality. But what kind of a model is it where you arbitrarily pick out the part you want and throw the rest away?
Personally I suspect that the negative masses represent mental phenomena. Negative mass is not the same as antimatter. Antimatter is matter running backwards in time. But it is still ordinary matter. A positron is an electron running oppositely in the time dimension. On the other hand a negative electron or a negative positron mass (not negative charge!) may be a mathematical representation of the notion you have in your mind when you see an electron or think about one. It is a mirror image of physical space in mental space. The imaginary superluminal tachyon mass of the matter or antimatter variety represents the shift of attention by the will in "imaginary" space. The tachyon mass at c is 0 in real mass and infinitely imaginary. As the attention moves faster and faster above c, the mass shrinks, becoming less and less imaginary. At infinite speed, it is no longer imaginary, and becomes real. This is a ninety-degree shift in phase space. The more relaxed you are, the faster you can shift attention (the lighter the imaginary mass is). If you are completely relaxed, you are completely real. The tenser you are (the more energy you expend on attention), the slower attention moves, and the more you move into imagination. Your world becomes less real. It takes a certain effort of attention to hold awareness focused on anything. Play with the equation and imagine how imagination works. Why shouldn't the mental world follow mathematical laws just like the physical world? The equations of special relativity use only high school math and the laboratory confirmations of relativistic effects are so ubiquitous, that no one ever questions Einstein's declaration about the speed of light. He achieves the status of authority, which is fine until it leads us to accept his assertions without question.
Phase Transition.
Although Einstein declared that (c) is the ultimate, unreachable speed limit for matter-wave packets, he neglected to inform us about the full significance of the simple equations on which the whole edifice of his theory stands. Physicists notice this funny discrepancy, but just briefly mention it and then continue on with their discussions.
See Feynman Lecture I.48 "Beats", sections 4 and 5 also Feynman's II, 24-4, Hecht, p.299, Harsany, p. 26, Herbert p. 68 et al., and so on.
An oscillation has an amplitude, wavelength (L), a frequency (u) or period (T = 1/u), and a phase. Fourier showed a general way in which we can represent any function as the superposition of a set of periodic oscillations (i.e. pure sine waves). If the oscillation has a time evolution, then it produces a train of waves that move along at a certain velocity. The train's velocity is the wavelength (L) times the frequency (u). Since this represents a displacement of the wave's phase through space over time, it is called the phase velocity (Vp).
* Phase Velocity = Vp = (L)(u) = L / T = w / k, where (w) = 2 pi / L and k = 2 pi / T.
An electron can be interpreted as a wave packet -- a superposition of pure periodic oscillations with the appearance of a lump or packet that behaves like a localized particle moving about. When de Broglie formulated his notion of matter waves, he based his reasoning on the Einstein-Planck relations that show how the energy (E) of a photon depends on Planck's universal constant of wave resolution (h) times the photon's oscillation frequency (u). He also used Einstein's famous equation showing the mass-energy relation.
* E = h u.
* E = Mo c^2 (Einstein's formula, where Mo is the rest mass of a particle).
* Mo c = h u / c. (We combine the two equations.)
* u / c = 1 / L. (Where L u = c gives us the speed of light in a vacuum.)
* Mo c = h / L (We substitute in the phase velocity of light: Vp = c = L u.)
* L = h / Mo c. (We rearrange to solve for L.)
This is the de Broglie wavelength for a photon. Now, taking (Me) as the mass of the electron and letting (c) become instead the velocity of the electron (Ve), de Broglie found a wavelength (Le) for the electron.
* Le = h / (Me Ve).
We can turn this around to express the characteristic matter-wave, or group-wave, velocity (Ve) of the wave packet that forms the electron.
* Ve = h / Me Le.
What does this equation mean? Think of an electron in orbit around a nucleus. It has angular momentum (Ln) that is restricted by the orbit to certain whole number (n) values:
* Ln = n h / 2 pi.
* Ln = pn rn (Momentum for the nth Bohr orbit, r is radial distance.)
We use the de Broglie relation as follows:
* pn = h / Ln.
* 2 pi r = n Ln.
So simply said the electron moves with n (whole number) wavelengths per orbit and forms a stable standing wave around the nucleus. Substituting the rest mass of any particle in terms of its energy, we get the matter-wave packet's Matter Velocity ( Vm) in terms of light speed and a Phase Velocity (Vp), which simplifies the whole expression into the elegant Einstein-de Broglie Velocity Equation.
* Vm = (h / L)(c^2 / h u) = c^2 / (L u) = c^2 / Vp.
* (Vm)(Vp) = c^2. (The Einstein-de Broglie Velocity Equation)
Recall that (Vp) is the phase velocity (L u) derived above. This is the Einstein-de Broglie Velocity Equation stated clearly and unambiguously so you can see what is going on behind the smoke and mirrors of E = Mo c^2. Despite what people pretend, nobody really knows what mass and energy are. Velocity, on the other hand, is an observable that anyone can verify by simply opening his eyes and observing. The Einstein-de Broglie Velocity Equation can also be called the Sommerfeld-Brillouin Velocity Equation, because they also derived the relation between group and phase velocities while studying the superluminal behavior of EM waves in plasmas around 1914. They noted that the phase velocity is the inverse of the group velocity. But de Broglie's matter waves make the relation much more general.
We can make a nice graphic representation of the Velocity Equation by going back to our circle. Draw a circle with a compass on paper or with a graphics application on your computer screen, and then draw a diameter. Next choose a point anywhere on the circle and draw a triangle connecting that point to the two ends of the diameter. This will be a right triangle. Now drop a perpendicular from the point you chose on the circumference down to the diameter. This perpendicular line divides the big triangle into two smaller right triangles. All three triangles are similar. Label the perpendicular line "c". Label the short portion of the diameter "Vm". Label the long portion of the diameter "Vp". When (Vm) = (Vp), notice that they are also equal to (c), and the semicircular disc divides into equal quadrants. When (Vm) = 0, (Vp) becomes the whole diameter, and (c) degenerates to 0. When (Vp) = 0, (Vm) becomes the whole diameter, and (c) again degenerates to 0. Einstein arbitrarily declared that (Vm) had to be smaller than (Vp). Contemplate the little mandala you have drawn. It embraces the whole universe. In the case of light propagating in an unrestricted vacuum, both (Vm) and (Vp) have the value of (c). However, in the case of light passing through a dispersing medium, or a wave-guide, or in the case of the electron or any other particle of so-called matter -- the maximum "matter" velocity of the matter-wave packet is always less than the speed of light. This makes Einstein happy. We just arbitrarily label the part of the system that appears to go slower than light speed "Vm". Nevertheless, it is simply an optical illusion produced by the interference of the various superposed phase waves (Dw / Dk). When you look carefully at the equation and accept Einstein's other assertion that the speed of light is a constant (c), then you realize that if (Vm) must be less than (c), then (Vp) must be greater than (c) in order for the equation to hold. Most physicists tend to discount the phase waves as irrelevant, but they are not. They say phase waves are monotonous and lack all information content.
Oh yeah? Look again at the equation. Look again at the mandala. Messages are sent with subluminal matter wave packets, right? Yet for every value of a (Vm) packet there is a corresponding value of a (Vp) packet. (We mean a non-local "packet" not an individual phase wave.) Einstein says the c's are constant, although they seem to change the same as Vm and Vp on our little mandala.
But if we arbitrarily hold (c) constant (by zooming in close or far away from the circle as observer), then any "message" that is encoded with subluminal matter wave packets has a mirror image superluminal message with the same content that is encoded with phase-wave packets. To say that an object or a message is limited only to matter-wave transmissions deliberately ignores the phase-wave reflection of the object or message that is demanded by the equation. Here's something else interesting. Suppose we say that the "c" dimension is an imaginary dimension. In our graph let the perpendicular direction be in multiples of (i). The way the Velocity Equation is constructed we always get a real value because (c i)^2 = -(c^2). The direction of (c) can be forward or backward in time. Here is another interesting result. If we consider "negative" mass, we get by Einstein's mass-energy relation:
* E = (-Mo) (ci)^2 = (-Mo)(-1)(c^2) = Mo c^2.
We get a real and positive result for negative mass and "imaginary c", and the energy is the same as the relation computed with positive mass. The same thing can happen with Einstein's relativistic velocity equation. Because both sides of the equation are squared, the imaginary values may disappear and we can get a real ratio between M1 and Mo with the right combinations. You can work out the various possible combinations of positive, negative, real, and imaginary masses together with superluminal, luminal, and subluminal velocities. Here's an example with FTL velocity and the moving mass in imaginary-land.
* (M1 i)^2 = (Mo)^2 / (1 - (v/c)^2). (v>c)
* (3)(M1)^2 = (Mo)^2. (If v = 2c.)
* 3 = Mo^2 / M1^2.
* (+-) 3^1/2 = (+-) Mo / M1.
By the way, Feynman demonstrates that the appearance of imaginary wave numbers for a wave frequency has a physical interpretation and "means that the form of the wave changes -- the sine wave changes into an exponential." (II, 24-6) So the apparent "cutoff" frequency of a device may mean that it switches into a different modality. If you don't pay attention, you may miss what is going on and just toss out a valid mathematical description of something. The matter-wave packet represents an object of the observer's perception -- usually. So where is the phase-wave "packet"? What if the phase-wave packet can occur in his consciousness as a thought? Huh? The phase-wave packet is the context within which the matter-wave packet resides. Multiplication of the two wave "packets" could represent the interaction of the two. We can call them thought and experience. In this case the interaction means the process of manifesting the truth. When the product of the diffuse non-local thought and the focused local experience are equal to light speed squared, everything matches.
Perception through any of the senses is always an electromagnetic interaction, which means it is mediated by light, by photons. The (c)^2 in the equations represents the signal handshake that occurs between the observer and the object of observation across a separation of space. This is beautifully represented in our mandala. The light forms a spatial interface, and its wave front is orthogonal to the interaction of object and observer.
Quantum mechanically this would be written as P = (phi)(phi)*, where P is the probability density and phi is a wave function and phi* is the complex conjugate "star wave" of the wave function. (See Wolf's Star Wave for an insightful interpretation of the quantum wave function in terms of consciousness.) We also can turn the entire mandala into a quantum bubble of 4-wave mixing phase conjugation. But we do not have to go that far into quantum physics to get the gist of how our mandala works in ordinary experience.
The Velocity Equation already shows us that we have two photons handshaking with orthogonal wave fronts in the imaginary dimension of our space/time -- a retarded one that goes from object to observer, and an advanced one that goes from observer to object -- all at light speed. The advanced one goes backwards in time, so the two photons (the phase conjugate photon-antiphoton pair) seem stuck together into one "particle" as they travel through space. (m / s) = (-m / -s). The terms retarded and advanced are arbitrary relative terms and not intended to reflect on the intelligence of the observer or what or whomever he is observing. Our graph of the Velocity Equation does not show ordinary space/time, it shows the relative magnitudes of the velocities of the components of an interaction. When we detect a slow-moving material particle (the so-called "observable" matter-wave packet), we tend to miss the superluminal phase-wave "packet" that is associated with it (not to speak of the handshaking photon pair) because it is often all spread out on a much bigger scale. When we perceive photons, they are nicely superposed on top of each other in pairs.
But under the dispersion influence of a wave-guide the two split apart and move at different speeds. We call the slower one the matter-wave packet. The slower the matter-wave packet, the faster the phase-wave packet moves. Most of the time our attention is very focused on slow-moving local matter-wave packets. That means our mind is filled with thoughts (the complementary phase-wave portions.) If our attention holds very still on a matter-wave packet, its corresponding phase-wave "packet" fills the entire universe. The mind expands. If we also are sensitive to the wave front, our imagination expands orthogonally into the "light" dimension. Is this enlightenment? Maybe we should take up meditation. Study the equation. Contemplate the mandala.
Physicists tell us that phase waves are dumb and utterly monotonous and carry no energy or information: "Ultimately it is the monotony of phase waves that prevents them from carrying signals." (Herbert, p. 75) Meditation is boring, too, right? Common examples physicists give of real-world phase-wave packets include moving signs on theater marquees or waves flickering across an oscilloscope screen. There are also interesting phenomena of EM phase waves moving superluminally through plasmas and other dispersion media. This should clue you in to what really is going on. Those devices are neither dumb nor monotonous. Viewed properly they can carry a great deal of interesting information.
Our whole information explosion is based on the electronic media. However, to appreciate this, we, as observers, must shift our viewpoint from focusing attention on the localized temporally modulating matter-wave packets to "defocusing" onto the non-local, spatially modulating, superluminal phase-wave "packets". The phase-wave packets are non-local by nature. So it is of no use to set up experiments based on serial, digital viewpoints, when the message is spread out spatially in a global, parallel transmission. This is the fundamental problem with the EPR experiments and all the other arguments that try to show the impossibility of superluminal communication. From the matter-wave viewpoint we process information serially in the temporal dimension. From the phase-wave viewpoint we process information simultaneously in parallel across the spatial dimension. This requires the observer to take a viewpoint orthogonal to and transcendental to the spatial plane that acts as the wave-guide. I would like to know why the scientific establishment has spent so much time and energy trying to prove that superluminal communication is impossible when it is a common ordinary phenomenon that everyone experiences.
They even established a totally arbitrary border guard postulate called COP to keep people away from this unhealthy area. The observer's awareness is a transducer that can perceive information with equal facility in matter-wave, phase-wave or light-wave format depending on the modality of attention selected by the observer. If we try to send a message from point A to point B across space with a series of modulations, the message can only travel via the "group" wave packet modulations. Each phase wave that travels between A and B, regardless of its velocity, is completely regular and devoid of information, just as physicists point out. All the information of the phase wave "packets" is to be found distributed spatially across the interval between A and B along the medium of transmission, the wave guide, as a diffuse non-local pattern of wave interference in space rather than a little local bundle. In other words, you must rotate your attention ninety degrees from the transmission medium (or carrier wave) and perceive the entire length of the wave-guide at once rather than trying to pick up impulses as they come out at one end of a transmission link. This may also necessitate a significant shift of viewpoint perspective on the part of the observer. The group-wave packet and the phase-wave packet form a complementary pair. If one is local, then the other must be non-local. Together they fill space. BOTH are made from superpositions of infinite, monotonous sine waves. The message is not on any particular sine wave just like a sentence is not based on a single letter. It is in the combination of a set of such waves arranged in a certain way in space/time. Whether the signal is experienced as temporal or spatial depends on the observer's viewpoint. The timelike signal will always be subluminal by its very nature. And a lightlike signal will be luminal. Attempts to read a truly spacelike signal in a timelike manner will also fail unless the observer rotates ninety degrees and reads the message subluminally. You can walk down the street and enjoy the view a step at a time, or you can stand back orthogonal to the street at a distance and see the whole street in one glance. It's just a matter of perspective and personal preference.
The so-called Kramers-Kronig relation that trades off absorption and dispersion is certainly true, but acts as a red herring when used to "prove" that superluminal communication is impossible via temporal, serial communication links. That is a non-issue if we are viewing from a non-local, spatial viewpoint. An example of how the K-K relation works is as follows. Suppose you flash a light at a certain time. Before and after that flash time the sine waves that make up its wave packet all cancel out. Couldn't someone awaiting that signal have a special filter that would screen out waves in such a way that he could pick up the light impulse ahead of time? "Yes, you could," say K-K, but their relation says that when his screen absorbs the waves in this way, it will also disperse them in such a way that it changes the phase velocity. His filter is a wave-guide and acts as a dispersion medium. It will adjust the phase velocity so that he ends up seeing the flash precisely at the proper time and not before hand. You can see from this example that the K-K relation is not relevant to our argument. It depends on looking at a signal from the localized, serial, temporal viewpoint. Go back and reread the passage quoted from Ursula Le Guin about the ansible at the beginning of this article. We are now experiencing a global phase transition from habitual focus on matter-wave modality to habitual focus on phase-wave modality. And some people are becoming proficient in both modalities and light-wave modality too. What is the evidence for this? Just look around. The evidence is very evident. You are reading this article. Probably you are looking at a computer screen. Movie screens, TV screens, and computer screens are all wave-guides that operate in phase-wave modality when they interface with the observer. Many of you currently spend a major portion of your waking lives experiencing in phase-wave mode, and you don't even realize it. How do phase-wave experiences differ from matter-wave experiences? Their properties are fundamentally different.
* Matter-wave packets are subject to mass and forces. Phase-wave packets are massless and therefore not subject to forces or any of Newton's laws, including gravity.
* Matter-wave packets are subject to the laws of special and general relativity. Phase-wave packets are not, so a phase wave can easily accelerate from 0 to (c) and on up to infinity without blinking an eye. Phase waves, being massless, can also pass right through black holes without getting either trapped or squeezed. Pretty cool, eh?
* Matter waves require increasing amounts of energy for greater accelerations according to the Einstein relations. A phase wave requires no or almost no energy for acceleration, and has no range limits other than the size of its universe and its guide. Its universe can be its guide.
* A phase wave will faithfully follow the direction of its guide, while a matter wave may jump the track.
* Wave functions are deterministic, but particles (matter-wave packets) are randomly distributed, abiding only by the probabilities of the wave function.
* Matter waves always stay under the c speed limit. Phase waves have no speed limit and you can make them jump about as you please on the wave-guide.
* According to the Velocity Equation, the slower the matter waves go, the faster their corresponding phase waves go. In some situations the phase waves can appear to go slower than the matter waves. For example, when a fan turns at certain speeds you will see a ghostlike fan rotating at slower speed, sometimes even backwards. Turn off a fan and watch phase waves alternately rotate forward and backward as the matter-wave fan blades slow down. These are lower harmonics of the superluminal waves that are too fast to see with your eyes. Another example is a caterpillar that moves forward slowly while ripples move backward along his body. Again, our eyes can only perceive a lower harmonic of the interference patterns as a phase velocity.
* Matter waves can hurt your physical body. Phase waves don't hurt but might cause your body to start looking like a potato if you don't keep your matter waves in shape.
* Compound matter waves are limited by the phase transition rates defined by their interaction rules (regular physics). Compound phase waves can morph freely with no restrictions as to size or shape other than that they require a wave-guide (phase-wave physics). Matter waves also require wave-guides, but they are much more restricted.
* A very "slow" phase wave packet or infinitely fast "standing" phase-wave packet (viewed orthogonally) becomes a mental image in the observer's consciousness. When an observer identifies with a slow phase wave (or any phase wave) it becomes either his matter-wave "body" or his object of attention (or both).
Learn to read the future with a crystal ball wave-guide. Place a ball made of clear glass or crystal over a capital letter "W" in a text. Observer the letter from about 15 cm above the ball. (The distance varies with the size of your ball.) Through the ball you will see the letter, somewhat magnified. The letter is in the object plane phase. Now slowly lift the ball straight toward your eye, focusing on the letter in the center of the ball. The letter will expand, bulge, distort, and then explode and disappear into a completely diffused fuzzy gray field or some fuzzy loops. This is the Fourier transform plane phase. If you keep drawing the ball upward toward your eye, you will see the gray field draw back together and reform into a letter "M". This is the image plane phase. Such a simple lens is an optical computer capable of phase-wave spatial modulations. The glass ball moves as a matter-wave packet. The light waves move at c. The object-image transforms and modulates in space as a phase-wave packet. The entire light field moves with all its component waves shifting in concert. Thus the individual bits of information that form the phase-wave image are not subject to speed limitations.
Your eye receives all the information in the space at one instant as a holistic image rather than getting a transmission bit by bit at a pokey speed limit. Each of the three worlds embodied in the Velocity Equation has its value. The imaginary vacuum world of pure light exists eternally beyond time and space and simply is, quietly embracing, interpenetrating, and enlivening all phenomena. At the single photon level it is coherent and always has perfect phase conjugation in space/time.
Because the imaginary photon is a gauge boson, any number of photons can become mutually coherent and form macroscopic quantum bubbles of any size. A photon's supposedly constant "velocity" has no standard and is nonexistent from its viewpoint. Only matter beings perceive light speed as a constant, and they experience it as a pair of overlapping conjugate velocities. They only detect photon velocities relative to absorption and emission terminals such as electrons. Lacking those, a photon's velocity is indeterminate. Denizens of the matter world live and evolve in localized habitats, and bound time frames, undergoing small-scale transformations as a series of vaguely point-like sensory flashes.
Due to a special property of nucleons (which is another discussion) matter has the ability to appear as stable physical structures that exist and develop in time. The phase world is a dreamlike shape-shifting fantasy (sometimes called the astral world of thoughts and dreams) with no limitations. Phase beings can morph at will and feel no pain. They can travel and communicate freely anywhere in creation with no boundaries. But if they are to become experiential to a matter being, they must be perceived through the medium of a wave-guide.
New-Age people humorously call this mode of perception "channeling". Movie screens, TV screens, and computer screens are nice practical wave-guides that are tuned to phase-wave modality.
Get into your favorite computer action game. The figures in better games nowadays move very realistically. But if you look closely, you will note that Lara Croft does not properly follow the laws of gravity or the other laws of Newton. Also, action figures in cartoons, computer games, and computer-generated films have unlimited morphing ability, unlike your current physical body. Watch a car or a plane on TV. It seems to move at high speeds, but you feel no accelerations or decelerations. When Starship Enterprise activates its warp drive, you observe acceleration to well over light speed, but feel no unpleasant side effects.
In your computer game you can even die many times with virtual blood all over the screen, and then your avatar gets up again like a cartoon character and resumes the "fight". Matter beings killed in battle don't just get up and continue fighting. They have to go build another body first, or whatever you believe they have to do. The killed body lies there and decomposes according to the matter-wave laws of chemistry. Go to an appliance store and observe the shelves of TV screens all showing the same program at once. This is superluminal phase-wave reality. The experience is spatial more than temporal. Watch as the scene changes. Flash! And you are in another place, or time, or viewpoint. All the screens on the shelf change at once, instantly and simultaneously, and in all their details. The cathode ray tube inside each specific TV operates in matter-wave modality. But the observer sees and processes the screen images in phase-wave modality.
Imagine millions of people watching the same show all at the same time, but in different spatial locations all over the country, all over the planet. To say phase waves transmit no energy is a joke. How much energy is transmitted when a million people laugh at a funny scene all at once, or when they cheer a Super Bowl touchdown, or when a late-night infomercial garners 10,000 orders for Golden Hits of the 60's. Somebody's taking you for a ride when they claim that phase-wave "packets" carry no energy potential.

Local EPR in Reverse Time
The result of the experiment is, of course, tied directly to the conscious decisions to expect a certain result. The fundamentally local conclusion leans heavily in the direction that any superluminal claims is a local time reversal or a reversed wave. However, we should still be open to multiple energy levels or velocities of this reversed wave relative to the forward wave.

Let's apply the going probability theory that these scientists love to apply to particles. Lets say that there exists the probability that Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen objected to nonlocality because there is the probability that any nonlocality could never be measured and quantified. This would mean a death knell for any science that was based upon measurement, hence, their careers. After all, Al, himself cautioned, with inappropriate self-interest to the others, "In his stand against the ether, Einstein had argued we should not speak of things that can't be measured." This mantra was taken up by all others who realized that if it could not be measured, there was really no need for any measurers. So the velocity of space at 186,000 mps was transferred to being lights velocity, where it could look like it was being measured. In matters of self-interest, space twisting and rotation was changed to matter causing it and light bending was perverted to being bent by gravity rather than what space actually does....the unmeasurable optical medium, space, is able to bend the optical phenomena, itself, while appropriate light sources were said to radiate "travelling" light. They also never mentioned, or realized, that light manifests only near mass, which is the ONLY thing capable of radiating light. Space has NEVER radiated light. They also neglected to mention that there is no such thing as light in deep space, all because the medium of space could not, then, be measured, hence, putting all of them out of the business of measuring.
Neither did the "measurers" want to hear about any "hidden-variable" theory because they couldn't make a living from measuring something that was unmeasurable. So what did the hidden-variable theory become?
"Working physicists, however, paid little attention to hidden variable theories." Of course they did...that is the motive then and that is the motive today.
Even in this "scientific" instance we see Al and his backers of measurements, trying to dominate with "particle" position and momentum, while Bell and Bohm are measuring "states of photons". The necessary science for measuring space, needs to be established and in place before any correct measurments of real science can take place. The question is, Is there enough information about the qualities of space? Even today, there is no guarantee that anyone with a Degree even understands there are no such things as particles. Such things are learned elsewhere.
"Excite atoms often produce two photons", it says. How very naive. The twisting still goes on today. Entangled waveforms are said to be preposterous. Action that requires an explanation or measure, if you will, that shows a faster than light measure, is what? Preposterous!! But, science has a measure of these things, today....soooo
Now, measure, is giving the field some respectability.
Even under measure, at that time, any EPR experiment was given marginal attention.
Even when the Bell's inequality was finally sorted out with the Aspect groups premises and conclusions, the Bell results leaned heavily away from Einstein's locality claims.
The conclusion is: There really is, either a "effect then cause" wave traveling backward......or......there is a faster than light velocity in effect, or both. We can even change the common assumption of light velocity to the Transference Velocity of Space, which doesn't have any measurement system....or does it? If one can square light (c^2) one can also square the velocity of space (Vs^2). Or is this already called Phasewave velocity (Vp)?
Above, the hypothesis is forwarded to explain why a nonlocal communication must be some kind of "memory". This memory shouldn't replace the correct communicative mechanism. This is the space structure of the Anu that has already been layed down throughout the whole of space, from the beginning. It is this Anu that is One and communicates superluminally, even with no mass in it. It doesn't really have a complicated memory as it is within the human brain, but space has a grid which acts exactly like the early, unconscious, computer memory....the toroidal circles of magnetic material, hand threaded with tiny wires, in 45 degree diagonals, in two directions. This was used to detect a on(1) and off(0) condition in the computer memory. Anu are also threaded with these magnetic lines and act as unconscious memory. The only duty of the Anu is to create Phi waves (The Golden Ratio). This is the secret of nonlocality. Al understood that geometry was the basis of the perfect medium but he said nothing of the perfect Phi wave of that medium.
And the Copenhagen Interpretation (CI) is now juxtaposed against the transactional interpretation (TI). If you hear the message, please step to the "right" side of the line......
By applying probability theory to our two choices, we can say that there must be more than a mere two probabilities we can choose from.
CI or TI or AI?
Pictures are worth 1,000 words, so here is 2,000 words worth.
So true, but....
Above, is the either/or choice you are forced to make.
Above, the new interpretation is now trying to pass off spacelike intervals as lightlike intervals. Where have we seen non-measurable space attributed to measurable light, in the past? It was from Al and the gang who gathered around Al and his "genius".
The "key to the language" is the ability to measure the language. Now for more blah, blah, after the quantum "handshake/transaction has taken place between physicists. After detecting the crescendo of the transfer of the key, to future scientists, we come down off the Mount of Lies, to ask a stupid, diversionary question:
Above, the question, "Can nonlocality be used for faster than light or backward in time communication". The immediate answer from the classic theory killers is a brutal, NO"!!! However.........simply ask the questions, "How immediate do all similar suns communicate, seeing they are all One"? "How immediate do all similar electrons communicate, seeing they are all One"? "How immediate do all similar Anu communicate, seeing they are all One"? "By what velocity, is a thought about the circumference of the universe, traveling"? "Why does any rearrangement of matter, here on earth, immediately rearrange the whole of universe"? "If all these Sun, electron and Anu structures rely upon a constant flow of information to maintain their structure, how is it possible for that information flow to be interrupted, at light velocity, so that they blink off and on"? "Have you ever seen our Sun blink off for 8 minutes due to a light velocity interruption in its information flow"? "Why did the RNG "egg" sensors, around the world, register an immediate response, even hours "before" a "future event", from large groups of people, psychically responding to the coming event - "911"?
Reread original article, "Welcome to Superluminal Phase-wave Civilization", 1, for any non-local energy or information transfer. It has to be there somewhere.
"However, this prohibition is broken if quantum mechanics is allowed to be slightly "non-linear", a technical term meaning that when quantum waves are superimposed they may generate a small cross-term not present in the standard formalism." So here is the "breaker" of that Monolithic "thou shalt not". As long as a slight non-linearity exists in the system, there can be "superluminal communication". Communication is a two way handshake.
Tapping ZPE, requires doped-wire impurities and slightly detuned frequencies. 4/15/02 Robert Grace
Above, the experiments.....
Luckily, this author is giving audience to these incredible claims. Elsewhere you might see the whole idea of superluminal communication, either ignored or hopelessly "debated" until you have completely forgotten what the debate was about.
So, the Copenhagen Interpretation was changed. Is it not the CI anymore, yet it carries the same name. In a few years you will see my interpretations renamed by other professional scientists and they will surely call it by their own name, yet the CI was corrected and it still carries its old name. Strange science, this science.
Yes, indeed, test the hell out of the whole spectrum of non-linearity because therein lays the answers.
