Dark Matter Solved

Dark Matter Solved
It is a bit scary when you're in the shower and a 'demon' rears its 'ugly' head revealing itself. It's even scarier when you have to teach Stephen Hawking something about physics. The 'demon' I refer to is the truth about space-time. And, that I can teach Stephen something about physics has nothing to do with 'smarts' but everything to do with perspective and assumptions. As things go, I got an email yesterday about 'one of my ideas' (an experiment to verify elementary particles retain some kind of disturbance energy temporarily), but the author was writing to me about using the same setup to verify space-time has some kind of resonant structure 'built in' which should be observable. Of course, this got me thinking and I was able to calculate the mass of the neutrino in a few steps after 'I saw the light'. Before I delve into that, let me remark that I think Christian Scientists are 'right on' when they say one synonym of God is Truth. You'll see why as I develop this essay.

A bit more about that. I'm not religious but I do have faith. Faith in the best of us, faith in God, faith in Love, faith in Truth,.. These words are capitalized because they are archetypes of the meme. They are the 'penultimate' of each concept. And I change the meaning of that word (which I frequently do with warning) to mean Ultimate. Since God is Infinite, we have no hope of understanding It without some kind of communion with It. Get my Drift? ;)

(As you note, I make frequent use of single quote marks to adjust the meaning of a phrase or word but that's usually clear by context. The reason smarts is in quotes above is because I don't consider myself that smart - just well informed.;)

Jokes and witticisms aside, I ascribe all my developments to prayer, discipline, and perspective. I confess: I do pray for insight - just as I pray people can understand these words and ideas and that the Truth spreads. There is no joke in this paragraph; it is straight from my heart.

Enuf about faith, let's deal with the discovery (which truly belongs to God - one final plug for It;). Okay, so I got this email about that experiment and I looked at my recent booklet called N and Omega (freely available on scribd.com). There's a section about temporal curvature near the end where I needed some numbers I had previously calculated curvature for proton and electron. Then, as I was bleary eyed and had woken up and could not sleep in the wee hours of the morning (after several hours of writing letters to dissident physicists), and I double checked and triple checked my calculations to make sure I was not going to announce a mistake, I arrived at precisely one sixth of one-1000th of the mass of an electron.

For those who are curious how I actually arrived at this number, please refer to the booklet. Suffice it to say I noticed a pattern in the numbers. Then I extrapolated down to the proposed mass of the neutrino. That's about it: perspective, prayer, and discipline. (And of course, thanks to the author of that one email: John Heath.) Now John does not endorse any of 'my ideas'; he simply finds them intriguing. This is another plug for friendly collaboration.

Normally, I write "I" de-capitalized because it assumes a kind of arrogance in the structure (my father is of the same philosophy on this topic). But if i did that in this essay, it might confuse and distract you, so i avoided it. Again, i owe my perspectives to God. If you can understand and appreciate that, you Understand Humility. I sincerely Hate bringing religion into a scientific discussion but i wanted to make it clear who was the discoverer in this case. Not me: God. And there could be no clearer case of God discovering Itself.

You see, when you deal with the Truth, it's difficult to separate it from God. That is the 'horrid' truth of our existence. Appreciate that gift/grace/benevolence.

So you can see some of my mother coming out in my words (she's a devout Catholic). And, as the saying goes: "the sum is not merely the sum of the parts" (i'm more than a 'product' of my parents). There is some synthesis going on which i am respectful and cognizant of. I thank God for both my parents: W. Jean Micheal (who Micheal space is truly named after) and Julia F. Micheal - the heart of the family. And to prove a point (as promised to John), i will sign this essay with a different name to emphasize i don't want credit for the developments:

sam iam (i DO eat green eggs and ham;)
ps - next up on the agenda: (and this one in particular requires the Discipline of God) attributes of hyper-time, magnetic moments of the three elementary particles, and identifying the actual make-up of a magnetic field. please say your prayers for me; i will need them.
pps - i'm not sure if dark energy is on the agenda; the need for that construct/idea is debatable
