  1. The Way Things Really Work Quantum Electrodynamics

  2. The Nature of Force What we know....... 1) A force is a push or pull. 2) Forces must be applied to an object. And Fields? • Are invisible lines of force between objects. So, if forces require physical contact how can fields transfer force?

  3. Invisible Stuff? This idea should make you queasy. Physics is concrete.......

  4. Enter Jocko The Clown We know of another situation where forces transfer between objects without them being in contact.

  5. Enter Jocko The Clown The shooter and the soon to be deceased Jocko are not in contact with each other, however, the shooter transfers a force from himself to Jocko using the bullet as a medium of transfer. The momentum –or- energy of the bullet carries the force (impulse) between each object.

  6. Enter Jocko The Clown Two positive charges are pushed apart by means of a force, but no objects are seen to move between them. + +

  7. Enter Jocko The Clown Two positive charges are pushed apart by means of a force, but no objects are seen to move between them. + + Well, we can’t see electrons and we know they carry charge and are responsible for all of chemistry, perhaps we need to alter our world view by adding a “bullet.”

  8. Duality Electrons act as discrete objects as demonstrated by the photoelectric effect, which is how your digital camera works. Electrons also act as waves which is why they are confined to distinct shells as DeBrogelie found. Should you attempt to directly observe the which form the electron is it will change to the other form since it takes energy to make the observation. HUH???????????

  9. Me with the gun The bullet Jocko

  10. In order to obey the rules we create a “particle” that obeys the rules. Essentially we rig the game. This process is called a “virtual construct.”

  12. The Photon Cloud http://www.falstad.com/vector3de/

  13. The density of the virtual photons is greater closest to the charge. The density follows the beloved inverse square law. But I think we have a problem with COE.

  14. This is simply not possible!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. We can not violate COE, it is the fundamental rule of the Universe. Maybe we can be uncertain of the system total for a short time.

  16. It’s All About Time Think about a bank account. You have $500 in an account Then write a check for $700 So long as have $700 in the account before the check clears you’re OK with the bank. The system tolerates short duration imbalances so long as the account reconciles by the end of the event.

  17. More importantly, to make a direct observation of the event changes the event!!

  18. Wanted: Dead and Alive! A small Calico Cat Owned by One Erwin SchrÖdinger. This feline is guilty of crimes against normality for being in two states of existence simultaneously!

  19. Wanted: Dead and Alive!

  20. This is Huge!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s break point between virtual and non virtual particles.

  21. A Certain Small Number hIt Takes Time To Walk The Planck h is Planck’s Constant E =hν which you got in Chem II The energy of a wave or wave-like particle E = h x frequency h is insanely small h = 6.62 x 10-34 Js Our account imbalance can not be more than this value. If it is the particle becomes real.

  22. A Certain Small Number hWalking the Planck If our virtual photon is a fairly energetic 1J it can only last for 10-34 seconds so it has a very short range of 1.2 x 10-23 inches. If it’s a wimpy 10-34 J it can last a whole second. At the speed of light that’s still 93,000 miles. No matter what the account must be reconciled in a Plank time unit. Any longer and the virtual photon winks into reality. Huh?!?!?!?!

  23. The impact dislodges the electron orphaning the virtual particles. Once they are orphaned for a Planck Time unit they flash into reality in the form of light.
