Les,

[This is an] informal write-up [...]

We do deeply appreciate the courage that researchers such as Haisch and Puthoff have shown in pushing to the zero-point. Academically it was a huge risk to them, to their careers and to their income. We must [...] acknowledge that courage and the great benefits that have accrued from their doing so.

And thank God the zero-point does exist, with quantum science solidly insisting on it and on the remaining motion. Otherwise, no one would have been able to push even to the zero point, but would only have been destroyed professionally for trying to do so.

So we owe such researchers a great debt, and I wish to clearly stand up and say so.

Yes, Haisch and others – including Puthoff – are right down “next to” it, but do not take the final step.

The zero-point is the smallest OBSERVABLE point. Of course, the quantum theory requires that at that point, motion of a particle does not completely stop, but it still “jiggles” as Haisch stated. But since one is holding fast to the observable state – just its bottom – one is actually stating that wiggles in the observable particle still are occurring, and under certain circumstances these wiggles and the particle’s reaction can be observed and measured. Hence the Casimir effect and such experiments.

But carefully note that they never pass beyond the “detectable” quantum wiggles, directly into the causative VIRTUAL STATE fluctuations. For that reason, they have been (in my opinion) unable to resolve the source charge problem; in one paper, e.g., Puthoff was all over it, but simply could not take that final state to connect disordered virtual energy absorption becoming re-ordered after absorption, and then coherently integrated to the next observable level of excitation, where that excitation level then abruptly decays by emission of a real photon. And so on, over and over.

Thus in my opinion they were never able to resolve the real issue: How does a fundamental charged particle such as an electron, continuously emit real observable photons, when there is no observable energy input?

The truth is that the charge (with its infinite bare charge and energy, surrounded by its polarized vacuum charge also of infinite charge and energy) does in fact continually absorb disordered virtual photon energy from the vacuum’s virtual state fluctuations. Now here’s the tricky part.

If we pass to the modern physics knowledge that the “isolated charge” is not isolated after all, but is accompanied by its polarized vacuum of opposite charge, and both “charges” are infinite and have infinite energy, but have a finite difference, then we have an unusual situation. The two opposite charges have to exhibit broken symmetry, since the broken symmetry of opposite charges was predicted by Lee and Yang, and proven experimentally shortly thereafter, resulting in an amazingly quick award of the Nobel Prize to Lee and Yang.

Well, consider this. For the totally disordered vacuum virtual state fluctuations, the virtual entropy is maximum and the “ordering” overall is zero. But the energy of an individual virtual photon is a priori completely “ordered”. So when a single virtual photon is absorbed by the charged particle and converted to a virtual increase in the mass-energy of the charge, the charge’s mass (and mass-energy) is already UNITARY. That is, it’s absolutely ordered. The next such “absorption” and change of form of the virtual photon’s individually ordered energy into a second piece of “mass-energy” is thus additive to the first virtual change in mass energy. The result is the COHERENT addition or integration of the ABSORBED AND REORDERED virtual state mass-energy changes – until the increasing excitation has produced enough coherently summed virtual energy to reach the next quantum excitation threshold. At that point, the very jitter of the vacuum (the zitterbewegung) “knocks out” a real observable photon of energy, so that the excitation of the charged particle abruptly decays back to the start. And the situation repeats and repeats and repeats, and so on.

Every charge in the universe is thus a Feynman ratchet, continually absorbing and coherently integrating virtual state vacuum energy up to the observable level, and emitting the cohered observable photon as real observable EM energy.

So the charge does sit there and emit photon after photon, forever or as long as the charge exists, and it NEVER has to have any OBSERVABLE energy input. Yet it does not create that observable energy out of nothing! Instead, as a Feynman ratchet it produces the output observable EM energy from the virtual state vacuum energy itself.

In short, the charge CONSUMES positive entropy in the virtual state, transducing it to negative entropy in the observable state.

Now note the strange dichotomy of the very notion of “virtual photons” in the seething “disordered” vacuum. An individual photon has ORDERED ENERGY, so virtual state photons are already assemblies of ORDERED ENERGY, individually. This energy, however, is not large enough (at the frequency of the photon) to be observable – hence the photon’s being virtual (nonobservable) in the first place.

So we have to express “disorder” in terms of “ordered little constituents” anyway. Else there are no virtual particles, and much of particle physics would be absolutely wrong.

The continual absorption and change of the virtual photon ENERGY (virtual order) from the vacuum into mass energy of the particle (virtual order of the mass’s increase in mass energy in the virtual state) thus is a totally negentropic process in the virtual state. Hence the coherent (ordered) integration of that NEGENTROPIC virtual set of successive changes. When the next OBSERVABLE excitation threshold is reached, it is observable because it abruptly decays the excitation and emits an observable photon.

Again, the charge is a Feynman ratchet that continually coheres and integrates virtual energy from the vacuum into observable emitted photons from the charge.

The steady emission of real observable photons from any source charge, continually establishes and replenishes (at light speed) its spreading fields and potentials, and their energy densities are deterministic as a function of radial distance from the source charge. This, by the way, is in accord with the proof by D. J. Evans and Rondoni that real EM systems continuously producing negative entropy are possible, so long as the resulting observable system is observable.

Hence I nominated the source charge and source dipole as the first concrete testable examples of that proof given not long ago by Evans and Rondoni.

In short, we realized that it is only the “ordered” pieces of the so-called “disordered energy of the vacuum” that are successively absorbed by the charge and transduced into virtual changes in the charge’s mass-energy state. These virtual mass-energy changes then coherently integrate into real observable photons emitted by the charge’s Feynman ratcheting process.

The entire idea of “disordered energy” is that the energy is there after all, and – at least in theory – is recoverable coherently if an ordering process is evoked.

This “reordering” is certainly encountered in nonequilibrium thermodynamic systems, where such systems can even be “self-ordering” as has been shown and as is known.

So one must take that “extra step” from the observable zero-point level to the nonobservable virtual state vacuum fluctuations, and then directly connect the two.

To even mention a “vacuum fluctuation” is to advance the thought and concept that the entire group of little “ordered energy” virtual photons is disordered, but each little photon is perfectly ordered in its energy domain – else it could not even exist in the virtual state.

And now we also note something else very powerful: Even Maxwell pointed out in 1875 that any system of larger pieces and particles is “disordered” and obeys the entropic second law only statistically. Each piece of the system can be and is constantly violating the hoary old second law by producing a negative entropy change. Wang et al. showed that the negative entropy ordering of these pieces can persist EXPERIMENTALLY for up to two seconds or more. Voila! For a source charge sitting in the seething vacuum, even a tiny bit of time – much, much smaller than a second! – is sufficient for the re-ordering process to emit a stream of observable photons, starting over with each photon emission.

The mathematicians are going to have to wrestle with the ansatz of that one, since the ansatz is assumed but usually unrecognized in our very statement or assumption of a “disordered” virtual state vacuum, in which “little bits of order” negentropically appear momentarily and continually and are called “virtual particles” while they exist.

Oddly, it is thermodynamics of nonequilibrium systems that has shown us the magic key to how EM energy (in all EM fields and potentials) is actually produced BY their associated source charges FROM the absorbed iterative order (energy) of the barraging virtual photons.

Haisch and Puthoff showed enormous courage in just venturing to the zero-point itself, and not passing beyond the Casimir effect and such. Anyone who has not seen the results of direct scientific suppression, just cannot appreciate the courage it took.

If Haisch and Puthoff would now cross that line between virtual and observable states, and express it in proper mathematics with the proper discussion showing the coherent integration of that virtual energy into observable state energy, they would just have done work of Nobel quality, and might even be awarded the Nobel Prize.

You see, this also solves several other major problems in physics and thermodynamics, which scientists are struggling with now. We have the solution to the dark matter and dark energy problem also, the source of the excess gravitation holding together the arms of the spiral galaxies, the source of the slowly increasing antigravity that is speeding up the acceleration of the universe, etc.

It’s all hidden in the source charge problem and its solution, together with consideration of what a Dirac hole really is, etc.

And of course since the source charge solution completely falsifies the present “half-law” known as the second law of thermodynamics, we also revised that law in our fact sheet on Leyton Geometry. The NEW proposed second law is an extension that allows production of negative entropy as well as positive entropy – and is therefore consistent with experiments such as readily shown and have already been shown. Kondepudi and Prigogine, e.g., on p. 459 of their Modern Thermodynamics, already list several areas or operations known to allow violation of the old second law. In EM, it is simple to directly violate the old second law with ridiculous ease: as an example, just momentarily pin the electrons in a little circuit or part of it, so that no current flows, while the voltage is amplified (say, by 10 times). Then one has just collected/potentialized that part of the circuit with 10 times as much potential energy, with absolutely no work being needed or accomplished (work requires power, which is voltage x current). If V(dq/dt) = 0, then regardless of what happens to V, no power is produced and no work is accomplished. But by freely making V ten times larger, one freely increases the potential energy stored there by the overpotentialized charges q, in this case by a factor of 10. Such a direct increase in usable ordered energy is in fact a totally negative entropy change.

One can do negative entropy engineering, e.g., if one is careful. One need not have to always do entropic engineering, to the detriment of the biosphere and earth.

Cheers,

Tom

This is a little bit better, but that isn't saying much. We have only had mud to look through so far. The mud is thinning a little but still opaque. Good start. Why are these unobservable energy fluctuations 1) unobservable (grave danger to scientific exploration!!!) and 2) less than allowed quanta? We still have a long ways to go. Likewise, I have yet to recognize experimental evidence that even supports Tom's statement that electric charges are radiating photons from no observable source. We need physical evidence of this before we go any further. I have asked Tom to explain and reference this, but he has not.

If the vacuum were made of observable quanta, our instruments would go bananas and read anywhere and everywhere, all the time.

Indeed, it’s far worse than that, because the observable mass universe could not exist as such. The energy density of the vacuum is so great (on the order of 10exp93 grams per cubic centimeter, by one leading calculation after Wheeler) that, if the energy were in quantum form and therefore observable, everything in the universe would be squashed to smithereens instantly. There could be no planets, stars, or any piece of ordinary mass anywhere.

So since the observable universe does exist, and a mass such as one’s own body is not blasted to smithereens instantly, the energy is in VIRTUAL STATE form, allowed for and required by quantum mechanics anyway. Any energy fluctuation or change, if VIRTUAL and subquantum, can have as much energy as desired, so long as its existence is sufficiently short that the action (i.e., energy x time) is less than h/2.

Standard physics.
