Chance Gravity (my own idea)

To begin with, I don’t quite understand your analogy about “using a theory to prove a theory that cannot be” and your uncle saying “God did it. ” All of the concepts which I have introduced in the last round are accepted principles in physics; can you direct me to the ones you take issue with specifically? Furthermore, I’m not quite sure you understand the boundaries to which theories must be correct. If I develop a theory, say, that how fast something heats up in the microwave is dependent only on how long it is in there, and then I find that oil heats much more slowly than water (which is the case, by the way, because of water’s polarity), then I have found evidence that contradicts my theory, and I must revise it, no matter how many other things it accurately predicted. Similarly, I have shown in the last argument that your theory is inconsistent with multiple principles in quantum physics, and will show in this round the conflicts with special and general relativity. These are all accepted concepts in physics, not “theories which cannot be”, which your theory contradicts. Thus, your theory is flawed to some extend and requires revision. ===Rebuttal===To begin with, I take issue with your assertion that “the most basic of fundamental particles is a simple single state piece of energy”. As of current, there are 16, arguably 17 fundamental particles, none of which can be considered more “basic” than the others, as they are, by definition, fundamental. These include the six quarks (up, down, charm, strange, top, bottom), the six leptons (electron, muon, tao, and their neutrinos), and the four (likely five within a year or so) bosons (photon, gluon, W and Z and likely the Higgs boson, awaiting further verification from CERN). Each of these particles is distinct and fundamental. Next, I take issue with your assertion that “the particle’s position cannot be known exactly… for part of the time, I say that the particles are not known but somewhere else as they decide where to next move”. I’m a little confused with what you’re suggesting – do you mean to say the particles “go somewhere else” while they make up their mind where to go? And if so, what on earth would incline you to conclude this? “You said that a particle can disappear completely, this could happen if a particle was deciding where to next be and every possible place became taken, the chances would be minute though. ” First, I never said a particle can simply disappear completely. This goes back to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle: ΔxΔp≥ħ/2. An identical statement says something quite different: by rearranging the units, ΔxΔp≥ħ/2 can be changed into ΔEΔt≥ħ/2. This can very loosely be thought of as the following statement: “You can borrow energy from the universe, but the more you borrow, the faster you have to return it. ” It is this effect that is responsible for vacuum fluctuations and the Casmir effect. However, if you have a particle simply disappearing from existence, you are borrowing a non-zero amount of energy for an infinite amount of time. I could go into the finer details of how this violates the Lagrangian symmetry, but take my word for it: particles don’t just disappear, aside from vacuum fluctuations. Note that conservation of energy has been proven rigorously, and is not just a theory, but a law. “You said that under magnetic forces a particle can bend both left and right at the same time and when it observed it chooses. This could be explained by the particles having both the options of left and right available before they choose. ” You’re misunderstanding two key concepts here. 1) Spin is not the same thing as charge. One deals with precession in a magnetic field, the other deals with the curvature of a trajectory in a magnetic field. You cannot have a superposition of wavefunctions with charge (at least this has never been observed), though you can with spin. 2) Your analogy doesn’t quite explain superposition. A particle will remain in a superposition until an information-gathering observation is made, in which case the wavefunction will collapse, causing it to choose one of the multiple component vectors. It literally behaves as BOTH possibilities. It doesn’t just have the option to do either and then chooses one. It will do both until an observation is made. It is this key difference that allows quantum computers to function so efficiently, as each qubit in a quantum computer can perform multiple superpositions of operations at the same time, not just one or the other. “Finally, I read about particles being in communication over infinitely large spaces a while ago and even that fits with my theory when you think they may not be different but just the same particle in its two homes in space. ” First of all, this is called quantum entanglement. This often occurs when two information-carrying particles are produced at the same point in spacetime. These particles can then be brought far away from each other (at less than or equal to the speed of light). However, meaningful communication between the particles faster than the speed of light is impossible. I will outline the steps of this process below.1) A particle, say, a photon, is produced with its entangled pair.2) The photons go in opposite directions at the speed of light for a year. (So the distance between them is 2 lightyears. )3) Alice (the measurer) observes the spin or other state of one of the entangled photons. She gets a random result, either up or down.4) Bob is now guaranteed to get the same result as Alice. However, since Alice has no control over the original result, Bob will receive what seems to be useless noise. Thus, meaningful communication faster than the speed of light does not occur and causality is preserved. ===Further Points===It seems I have almost run out of space again, however, I have one other point I would like to make. First, you said in your original argument that “the speed of light is simply the fastest it is possible to jump from one point to another” and described gravity as stretching the points out in space. If this were true, the speed of light would be variable based on the gravitational effects of the area – in parts of space where the “pixels” were less dense, light would appear to travel faster than where they were more dense. Obviously, this is not the case, as the speed of light in a vacuum is constant and independent of the motion of the source and observer. Also, utilizing conservation of energy once again, if you integrate all possible paths in a gravitational field, there is a non-trivial probability that, using your theory, a particle can permanently create potential energy by increasing the distance between itself and the object it is orbiting by consistently taking a path leading further away from the object. Obviously, the vast majority of the particles will remain near the object, however, given the incredibly tight error bounds of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, this poses a major problem with conservation of energy. ===Conclusion===I have shown that your theory is incompatible with multiples laws of thermodynamics, quantum physics, and relativity. Since your theory, even though it explains a few things correctly, cannot account for these laws, it is flawed and must be revised.
