Sci - Math: Tensor Physics & WMD

The document discusses tensor physics and weapons of mass destruction (WMD). It begins by clarifying that tensors describe intrinsic properties independently of the coordinate system, and provides examples of tensor and scalar transformations. It then explains that physical laws must be covariant under relevant symmetry groups like special relativity's Lorentz group, but this does not apply to specific solutions. In general relativity, the symmetry group is the group of coordinate transformations at a fixed point event, where both active and passive interpretations cause confusion. The document concludes by speculating that gravity and inertia emerged from an inflationary phase transition of an incoherent quantum vacuum into a coherent Higgs field, solving issues like the cosmological constant problem.

On Nov 6, 2004, at 10:02 AM, SaulPaul & MaryMinn Sirag wrote: [SaulPaul Sirag] The issue of coordinate dependence of tensors is very tricky. Perhaps the following statements (by Arthur Eddington, 1920) will clarify the issue. 1. "A tensor does not express explicitly the measure of an intrinsic quality of the world, for some kind of meshsystem is essential to the idea of measurement of a property, except in certain very special cases where the property is expressed by a single number termed an invariant, e.b. the interval, or the total curvature." 2."But to state that a tensor vanishes, or that it is equal to another tensor in the same region, is a statement of intrinsic property, quite independent of the meshsystem chosen." SaulPaul Yes, a good start. Let's continue. A tensor (or spinor or twistor) transformation is a multilinear homogeneous transformation on "objects". A spinor is a complex doublevalued representation of some continuous groups like SU(2) that covers O(1,3) of special relativity. The objects are Ndimensional hypermatrix arrays of elements of an algebraic field. Let X be the basic linear transformation. For example, using summation convention on repeated pairs of identical upper and lower indices, ^ denotes upper index Au > Au' = Xu'^uAu is a simple linear transformation. S > S' = S is a scalar invariant. Tensor Physics & WMD 1

sci.math: Tensor Physics & WMD For example S = AuA^u The simplest multilinear transformation is Fuv > Fu'v' = Xu'^uXv'^vFuv X in general is a homomorphic image or representation of some GROUP (maybe semigroup and maybe even up to a CATEGORY?) Therefore we really have X(G) where G is some group. All laws of physics must be covariant under the physical symmetry groups G. This means that the laws of physics must be tensor equations in this general sense. What applies to the laws of physics DOES NOT APPLY to the fundamental VACUUM SOLUTIONS of those laws! Or to any solution. There is a lot of confusion on this issue. In the SPECIAL CASE of Einstein's 1916 theory of gravity G = GCT AKA DIFF(4), i.e. generally NONLINEAR LOCAL coordinate transformations AT A FIXED POINT EVENT P. X for GCT is the Jacobian matrix of the reversible 11 x^u(P) <> x^u'(P) e.g. X^u'u(P) = x^u'(x^u(P)),u ,u is ordinary partial derivative R. Kiehn generalizes this to oneway semigroup mappings that are not 11. This point event P is more than a mathematical point p in a manifold. This is where the confusions of active Diff(4) vs passive Diff(4) comes in. Active DIFF(4) takes p to p' ON THE MANIFOLD. *GCT is at FIXED PHYSICAL P that has no definite p. P depends on a relationship between gravity guv and electromagnetic Fuv since the LIGHT CONE is the essential INVARIANT of 1916 GR. Without light there is no gravity!

But the incoherent Dirac Sea is unstable without gravity and inertia. The inflationary phase transition morphs the incoherent microquantum ZPF Dirac Sea into the coherent MACROquantum Higgs Ocean with gravity WEP equivalent to inertia. Gravity is emergent without quantum foam and the ZPF is absorbed almost completely solving the cosmological constant problem, but leaving exotic vacua "dark energy" (& dark matter) residues. The Casimir force is not a ZPF force at all, but is a complex electrostatic force between mutually induced electric dipoles in neutral atoms and molecules in the Casimir plates (boundary conditions). The entropy of the postinflationary Higgs Ocean << entropy of preinflationary Dirac Sea and this explains why the Arrow of Time points in the direction of the expansion of 3D space of the universe.
