After the daily entry and the laundry yesterday, I stopped by at Memory Express where I learned more about my computer and the way to get signed on to Skype. The latter requires an MS-account and an MS-email address. I had given it a Gmail address, which probably was not accepted, but neither did the mighty MS protest, leaving me in limbo. This is something that would not happen with Apple!

On the way home I bought fruit and produce at DJ Market with fresh cherries and new apples. And now on to my Writings, because I’ll be off at 9:30am to visit Rene for coffee.

I stopped yesterday’s writings quite abruptly and I’m taking it up from where I left off, which is my reference to my engineering studies in the year 1962/3 at UoT. More specifically I am thinking of the Physics and Molecular Chemistry courses, both of which applied the findings of quantum theory in their lectures by the Profs. Hume was my physics man, but I forget the Englishman’s name for the Chemistry subject. I will use a few ideas of what I learned in those studies and use them in my model.

My Modern Physics text: It is a consequence of the Quantum theory that every single body radiates at a wave length Lambda equal to half the dimensional length of its body

I’ll start with a recalled reference to my physics text ‘Modern Physics’. About half way into the yearlong course I read: ‘It is a consequence of the Quantum theory that every single body radiates at a wave length Lambda equal to half the dimensional length of its body’. I found this quite fascinating and checked it with Dr. Hume, who affirmed its validity. However no explanation was forthcoming or asked for by me, which I now regret, not did the text offer any.

A second concept I learned about was the ‘nature’ of visible light. Newton had claimed that it was particle like, while Huygens proved its nature to be wave like. The modern solution was that both were applicable we were informed by our prof. We were to think of light as made up of wavelets or photons, while terms like quanta of light, wave packets, was also used.

From the Chemistry course I remember our prof propounding about the Schrödinger wave equation, which described the state of the molecule as a sort of standing wave. Its amplitude went from null to a maximum and then collapsed to zero again. I don’t recall much from that course except this Schrödinger wave equation.

If you take this Schrödinger wave equation with its collapsed start, end and the maximum in the middle you could think of it as representing the light wavelet or photon. Where did the collapsed energy go? I suggest it became a particle with a small mass, analogous to a black hole in Cosmology, but a very tiny one.

The beginning of that photon could then be viewed as a tiny big bang where the particle bursts forth and maximises in its energy form according to Schrödinger’s equation. That was the central idea I had the weekend before last, leading me on to think of this as a possible model for two relating states of existence.
<9:25am, time to get ready for Rene’s coffee.
