Fragments of Energy ? By

Astrophysical mathematicians keep trying to make sense of the motley models they have inherited from the 20th century. They never will succeed in their quest of a Theory of Everything by continuing along gerbil paths. A new correlating math theory has emerged that seeks to integrate all within the hybrid model of flowing “fragments of energy.” Whereas this clever model is fatally flawed (but the math is pretty), there is a valuable fragment of truth within this odd paradigm. Larry Silverberg and Jeffrey Eischen, of NC State University, have tackled the apparently incompatible models of particles and waves which replaced the ancient hierarchy of earth, air, fire, water, and aether. Particles rose to prominence with Newton’s idea of points at intersecting lines; and waves rose to prominence with Maxwell’s electromagnetic waves. 1 Einstein’s fertile mind created General Relativity with geometric gravity branes. His descriptive GR math correlates well on some macro scales with simple models. However, it breaks down at scales where quantum theory dominates. It was Einstein who created confusion when he explained the dual particle and wave nature of the double-slit experiment. Instead of defining points and waves, Einstein eliminated them with geometric spacetime, at least on non-quantum scales. https://theconversation.com/fragments-of-energy-not-waves-or-particles-may-be-the1 fundamental-building-blocks-of-the-universe-150730 ! of ! 1 3 Fragments of Energy?
