The fundamental trait of the Man’s path to truth is that he never looks back in order to reevaluate the concepts he created: always he deals with “new discoveries”. Everything is progress to infinity, as Hegel once said (Hegel, 1991), progress without a goal, or with an assumed goal at best. Feynman theory of partons for instance, is a striking example illustrating the issue. We have here a clear evidence of the fact that we must reconsider the ideas of the Hertz’s Natural Philosophy (Hertz, 2003) by all means: the Feynman’s partons are the variant in vogue, so to speak, of the material particles of Hertz. They were revealed exactly in the place where they should be, according the the ideas of the theory of light and material points. It is indeed to be expected that, in close collisions, the material points will reveal to each other, by interaction, physical structures given by some other material points, but constituted from the very same material particles – partons.

Another striking example, on which we want to insist in this essay, is the new wave of application of Bohr-like quantization process to astronomical problems of the planetary systems (Nottale et al, 1997). It carries an important gnoseological meaning. As this meaning is hardly stressed anywhere in the scientific publications, and as we think it is overwhelmingly important for human knowledge (our thinking is however not isolated; see Christianto, 2006), we thought worth our while revealing it both for the general audiences and for the special ones.

It is still a grand mystery how the Tunguska Event happened. There is nothing scientifically conclusive to confirm the explosion of a celestial body, as it appeared for the first time to the local observers. This, of course, gives way to all kinds of speculations regarding the origin of the event, some bordering on conspiracy theory, some going as far as to bring black holes into play, etc. Few theories though recognize the actual impossibility of science to explain the phenomenon. That of Andrei Olkhovatov is one of them, actually the only one we know.

The source of star energy is considered nowadays to be basically related to the fusion process. The explanation has its shortcomings, but it is hoped that sooner or later, “as the science progresses”, these will be overcome. What we really can say is that the conditions for realization of a steady cycle based upon the fusion process, cannot occur but only in the inner core of a star. In other words, not the whole volume of the star is the source of energy it spreads around, but only its inner core. Read the rest of this entry »

This is the title of a chapter in the web page of the creator of modern Stochastic Electrodynamics, Trevor Marshall. It is hard to disagree with this conclusion of the eminent scientist, mostly after one reads the arguments. With variations, these arguments have been presented many times as flaws of the Quantum Mechanics, although not with such a radical task as its elimination from among Sciences. It is our opinion that the whole source of this state of the case stays in the mode of description of the quantum mechanical systems. In Marshall’s words:

Every now and then voices are raised about the fact that the religious reasons alone cannot account for the huge economical and human investments in building the pyramids. There are reasons to believe that the pyramids are way older than the academically accepted estimation. In this case they may be a fundamental link between the Man and the Universe. They may have served as devices for harnessing the energy of Space, necessary for the development of the human society on Earth. This fact can indeed justify the investments in building them and gives us hope for our future It is interesting to consider a sound alternative for our future - the past - in spite of the fact that it may seem out of the orthodox scientific line. The Science though, is known to have always disregarded phenomena which, momentarily, seemed out of line whatever that line might be.

After almost a year of absence ProtoQuant is back — this time, hopefully without interruptions. We have spent a great deal of time on planning and testing the ideas we have for this site and, as we can see even from the beginning, our time and efforts are paying off.

As with every web page on the Internet, there will undoubtedly be some spam content that will find its way onto our pages. We ask you for your kind patience and understanding as we are working diligently to weed out any spam content.

Let it be stated from the beginning that discussions on ProtoQuant.com will be conducted in a civilized and decent manner, without spam. Please feel free to register and participate in our discussions. Read the rest of this entry »
