Loading...We have shown throughout "The Imagineer’s Chronicles" that observations of our environment suggests space is composed of a continuous non-quantized form of mass and four *spatial* dimensions instead of four-dimensional space-time.
However, one of the strongest arguments that can be made for both the existence of a continuous non-quantized form of mass and four *spatial* dimensions is that it will allow one to develop a classical or "common sense" explanation for many of the seemly nonsensical observations regarding our universe.
(Common sense will be defined in a later article.)
For example, a photon is entity, which can have properties of both wave and a particle. However, how can a single entity have both of these properties?
The article "What is electromagnetic energy" Sep 27, 2009 showed it is possible to derive the electromagnetic properties of a photon in terms of a displacement cause by a matter wave moving on a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension. This allows one to derive those properties in terms of classical wave mechanics.
For example, a wave on the surface of water causes a point on that surface to be become displaced or rise above or below the equilibrium point that existed before the wave was present. These alternating displacements are responsible for the transmission of its energy along the two-dimensional surface of the water.
Additionally, classical wave mechanics tells us a force will be developed by the differential displacement of the surfaces, which will result in the elevated and depressed portions of the water moving towards or become "attracted" to each other and the surface of the water.
Similarly a matter wave on a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension would cause a point on that "surface" to be become displaced or rise above or below the equilibrium point that existed before it was present. These alternating displacements are responsible for the transmission of a photon’s energy along the "surface" of our three-dimensional universe.
Additionally a matter wave on the "surface" of a three-dimensional space would cause a point on that "surface" to become displaced with respect to a fourth spatial dimension and rise above and below the equilibrium point that existed before the wave was present on that "surface".
It was show in the article ”What is electromagnetic energy“ that one can extrapolate the laws of classical wave mechanics to show that a force developed by displacement in a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension is responsible for electromagnetic properties of a photon.
However, as was shown in the article "Why is mass and energy quantized?" Oct 4, 2007 it is also possible to derive the particle properties of a photon in terms matter wave moving on a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension because it would form a "classically" resonant system or "structure" in three-dimensional space. Additionally, it was explained why all energy must be propagated in discreet or quantized packets Quantum Mechanics calls particles.
There are four conditions required for resonance to occur in a classical environment, an object, or substance with a natural frequency, a forcing function at the same frequency as the natural frequency, the lack of a damping frequency and the ability for the substance to oscillate spatial.
The existence of four *spatial* dimensions would give a continuous non-quantized mass component of space the ability to oscillate spatially on a "surface" between a third and fourth *spatial* dimensions thereby fulfilling one of the requirements for classical resonance to occur.
These oscillations would be caused by an event such as the decay of a subatomic particle or the shifting of an electron in an atomic orbital. This would force the "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension to oscillate with the frequency associated with the energy of that event.
However, classical mechanics tells us the oscillations in a continuous non-quantized form of mass caused by such an event would generate a resonant system or "structure" in a continuous non-quantized form of mass component of space.
The resonate system or "structure" generated by a matter wave moving at the speed of light on a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimensions is responsible for the particle properties associated with a photon.
Therefore, “common sense” or classical explanation of why a photon can have both the properties of a particle and a wave is that it is made up resonate system generated by a matter wave moving on a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension.
This is not possible if one defines the universe in terms of four-dimensional space-time because time is only observed to move in one direction forward and therefore could not support the transverse bidirectional motion associated with electromagnetic energy.
