TOPIC: Pursuing the Limits of Failed Symmetry by Alan M. Schwartz [refresh]
Essay Abstract
Gravitation and quantum mechanics are separately accurately predictive to the limits of observation but together are utterly incompatible. No contemporary quantum gravitation theory offers testable predictions. It is shown that two founding postulates - vacuum isotropy and the Equivalence Principle - can be empirically falsified without contradicting prior observations in any venue at any scale, revealing more fertile pursuits of quantum gravitation theory.
Author Bio
Alan M. Schwartz is a consulting organic chemist. He shatters roadblocks with novel solutions in bointerfaces, hydrogels, human implantables; and conjures industrial functional materials. Physics jealously hoards gravitation in its equations. Ha! Always test Official Truth in labware and never fear the waste crock. Mediocrity is a vice of the doomed.

Mr. Schwartz, thank you for understanding the value of falsifiability. At first blush, yours is the only essay with this commitment to reality. You clearly specify how your assertion can be falsified and the consequences. Thank you.

Your essay exposes an interesting claim. Insofar as it should be indeed well elaborated and well thought-out (for which i am not the right person to evaluate this), it should be worth and also necessary to test your assertions experimentally in some laboratory around the world. I would be very curious about the possible results of such a test(s) and hope - if your expositions are well-founded - that some lab around the world will do that.

I am watching the number of public ratings growing, now twelve, while the value has remained constant at 8.8 since about four public ratings. I wonder what is the algorithm used that behaves so. And I note that the 'community' does not rate the essays despite the apparent option to do so.

What is the estimated amount of money required to carry out proposed Eötvös experiment?Grant funding(tax payer extracted) or private philanthropy?Perhaps Alan should set up a paypal account and have all the curious and wallet generous public financially contribute to see the result of such endeavor.With,of course, full transparency (no,not Washington speak) of amount received,name of donor and what was the money spent on.

Why pursue the parity Eötvös experiment when the parity calorimetry experiment is orders of magnitude more sensitive (if I recall correctly) and orders of magnitude less expensive? Digital Scanning Calorimeters are standard chemistry laboratory equipment. Eötvös torsion balances might come one to a First World Nation. Eöt-Wash Group at University of Washington has one.

The singular Eötvös group Committed to zero innovation (pdf)
Apparatus, 6 cm diameter, never done with quartz
Required chemical purity (ppm), dryness (Grade A), and order (low etch pit density) obtain by Sawyer Research's X-plate process (electronic quartz is Grade C Z-plate). Quoted $20-30K and 12-18 months in a hydrothermal autoclave.
Benzil two-stage solvent grows 2-cm diameter crystals in a silanized jelly jar over three days. Crystal chirality is confirmed by x-ray diffraction/Flack parameter. The parity calorimetry experiment partially ran in a volunteered commercial lab last Christmas. Heavily used equipment degrades. The two DSCs ideally are identical and new, about $70K each. Or, do many runs plus statistics (e.g., undergrad project). Physics disdains chemistry.

Leshan's analysis is shallow, insular, and explicitly wrong. All contemporary theories of gravitation, classical and quantized, *assume* even-parity models. As stated, Einstein, Cartan, and Weitzenböck formulated teleparallel gravitation with parity-odd gravitation and parity violation of conservation of angular momentum.. An odd-parity Chern-Simons term must be added to even-parity Einstein-Hilbert action in quantized gravitations. Take the hint - somebody should look.
"2. Does Alan’s essay contain the new physical ideas? Does Allan’s essay have any scientific value?"
Equivalence Principle parity violation, conservation of angular momentum parity violation, plus a two-day extraordinarily sensitive calorimetric test sum to "scientific value." On New Year's Day 1957 Yang and Lee announced Weak interaction parity violation. They were Nobel Laureates December 1957. Demonstrating parity violation of General Relativity (Equivalence Principle postulated), parity violation of string theory (BRST invariance postulated), and parity violation of conservation of angular momentum (isotropic vacuum postulated, then Noether's theorems) in an undergraduate laboratory in two days would be observations of like "scientific value."
Of all the essays in this competition, only my essay allows its assertions to be tested atop a lab bench in existing apparatus using commercial materials. It is supported by 78 year-old theory that defaults to General Relativity if the parity violation does not obtain. If Leshan can cite even one quantized gravitation theory published as refereed literature that defaults to General Relativity, he is welcome to post that citation and receive an apology. Otherwise, he is voicing the fear that all physics oozes: Contemporary theory elegantly derived from deep symmetries (string theory and quantized gravitations overall, SUGRA; SUSY) real world tested without ambiguity will be falsified as surely as protons do not decay (Super-Kamiokande).
Vote "10" to vote for the experiments. Theory predicts what observation tells it to predict. Somebody should look.

“Vote "10" to vote for the experiments.”
– It is a fraud! People must vote for the BEST ESSAY, but not for the unknown experiments. Because, usually all people ALWAYS are agree to vote for ANY research experiments, without reading the conditions! You cannot use this psychologically attractive method to increase the ratings.
“Being organic chemist, I am not deep into physics. But as friend of him I rated 10 for his essay.” - You see, your friends vote “10” for you, but not for the essay, probably without even reading your essay.
Please understand – most people vote “10” for the unknown imaginary experiment, without even reading the essay. They vote “10” for Science, but not for your essay. Thus, you use the forbidden psychological methods to increase the ratings.
“Theory predicts what observation tells it to predict.” - Your essay is not a logical theory in general; it is a proposal for the experiment and its partial description only. FQXi does not collect the proposals for the experiments. Please read the conditions of essay competition: “Essays in this competition will explore the limits of physics and the physics of limits. But I don’t found there proposition “Essays should be the proposals for the experiments only”. Probably, your essay seems to be outside of competition.
“Of all the essays in this competition, only my essay allows its assertions to be tested atop a lab bench in existing apparatus”
It is not right. There are other essays that allow its assertions to be tested atop a lab bench in existing apparatus using commercial materials. I’ll show it later.
“Equivalence Principle parity violation, conservation of angular momentum parity violation, plus a two-day extraordinarily sensitive calorimetric test sum to "scientific value."”
Scientists study all these items very intensively; I do not have time (and access to some journals) to show you all the respective papers.
(Please do not take offence for criticism – it is the fundament of physics and competition.)

Uncle Al, first of all wish you all the best! I know as you said "theories are like whore, they predict what they are compelled to predict". "Theories boast promiscuity empiricists provide the child support". And also Richard Feynman's " No matter how smart your theory is , how smart you are if it doesn't agree with experiment it's wrong"
Go for experiment. I rated you a big fat 10.
I appreciate your unfathomable and genuine knowledge in science, math, sociology, politics, arts etc. You are my role model.
Don't forget to come in various chemistry communities in internet. We need you, we love you.

"If you cannot explain it with a cocktail napkin and a swizzle stick, you do not know it either."
Folks with their own essay have until 02 October to submit it, by posted FQXi rules. This comments section is an inappropriate venue - for how would you accumulate votes? A physical theory incorporating mind faces a long hard slog against psychology, psychiatry, and the US Department of Education as empirical denials of needed understanding.
Vote Uncle Al a 10! The more physics twitches in theoretical counterpoint the sharper the experimental stick must truly be. Somebody should look.

There are two things that bother me about Mr. Schwartz' essay. First, the essay should be about, "What is Ultimately What is Possible in Physics", not, "What should we do about it". This essay has merit, but not under this category.
Second, some of the comments suggest that there are people who are voting who have no sincere interest in physics or the sciences whatsoever. It really sounds like Alan Schwartz (aka Uncle Al) is having his circle of family and friend vote for him.
For those reasons, I gave this essay a 1. I was going to give it a higher score, but several of Mr. Schwartz' supporters severely damaged the essay's credibility. Mr. Schwartz sounds like a very smart man. He has the capability to compete in an open forum without enlisting help from his friends, family and personal acquaintances.

The Giant Flying Spaghetti Monster is ultimately possible in physics. DON'T LOOK! Doug Huffman, the very first comment, knew posseurs and poltroons would squeal and why.
Know a man by his fears. Physics invested more than 400 years looking for an Equivalence Principle violation from composition (the attachment). Uncle Al offers the first quantitative EP tests based upon geometry, the mechanism of all classical gravitation theories... and don't look?

It is a deceit! Equivalence Principle was tested in LABORATORY with the best possible precision by Eot-Wash Group already. http://www.npl.washington.edu/eotwash/
Alan ask FQXi prize for ITS personal use only. He is not able to test the equivalence principle with more precision than Eot-Wash Group without laboratory and special physics education. He is an organic chemist in general, but not physicist!
Alans essay is not a theory in general; it is a proposal for experiment only. Its essay does not contain the new physical ideas. I can publish a lot of the same proposals, for example:
I can test the Inverse Square Law better than Eot-Wash Group;
Thus, my proposal is equivalent to Alan Schwartzs proposal. Can I receive a FQXi prize for this proposal only? It is very easy to give the fraudulent promises.
Vote 10 to vote the Inverse Square Law experiment!

Ignorance wins by imposing its dogma *and* by inculcating its methods. Inverse square testing is irrelevant. Gravitation theory is a geometry of mass distribution blind to chemical composition. All prior EP tests are composition-based, past (first pdf) future (second pdf) and peripheral contingencies (third pdf). They cannot possibly succeed,

The relevant probe of spacetime geometry is test mass geometry: the parity Eötvös experiment with alpha-quartz or gamma-glycine, the parity calorimetry experiment with benzil. All composition EP tests' sensitivities are constrained by the net difference (epsilon) between trace properties (epsilon) that must violate theory (epsilon). [(signal)(epsilon)^3] = zero detection. A geometric parity test is 100% divergence between 99.97 wt-% active masses (attachment) consistent with theory (teleparallelism) that defaults to General Relativity otherwise. It could detectably happen.
Somebody should *look* at the limits of physics. Vote 10 for parity EP experiments. Consign diversity to early intervention, counseling, mentoring, experiences, feelings, social activism... willful ignorance dripping snit.

Talk is cheap and taudry. Let us calculate J.H. Gundlach, New J. Phys. 7 205 (2005) and R. Newman, Class. Quantum Grav. 18 2407 (2001) versus a parity calorimetry Eötvös experiment. View the attachment netmass.png
Mass distribution parity divergence of atomic nuclei for benzil is 0.999713 net active mass. That is 417 times better than Adelberger and 520 times better than Newman. A 10^(-13) sensitivity composition Eötvös experiment is a 3x10^(-18) sensitivity calorimetry parity experiment for larger active mass and signal amplitude. Factors of 33,000 and 41,000 improvement vs. Adelberger and Newman are significant.
Somebody should look. Vote a 10 for empirical reality. Theory clothes emperors - but only theorists see that magnificent haberdashery. The emperor is naked.

If you have a very important and fundamental experiment, you must publish its description in the journals. After that the world laboratories will check this experiment for free, if the experiment is true important. However, your experiment is rejected by journals and laboratories because it is not important in general.
Tell about your experiment to Eot-Wash Group. If the experiment is true important and new, they'll check it for free!
Thus, your 'experiment' is neither important nor correct, therefore they all ignore you. In my view, this 'experiment' is your 'hobby' only.

Is it physics if it is not falsifiable? Sir Karl Popper said that not falsifiable is not 'scientific' and, thus, not physics.
Is 'What's Ultimately Possible in Physics' falsifiable or not; is it science or not?
Dreamers waving their hands around mathematics and surfing moonbeams may be metaphysics but it isn't science. I imagine Sir Karl would agree.

See the attachment for a [6.6]chiralane stereogram. The molecule is point group T (not Th or Td). The core carbon and the four carbons to which it is bonded possess no point, planes, or higher improper axes of rotation. Imagine an undistorted tetrahedral chiral carbon atom bearing four rigorously identical substituents. It is geometric chirality without a composition origin.
There is a hole in science arising from quantitative mass distribution parity divergence. It can be calculated, it can be modeled, it can be reduced to practice, and it threatens vast swaths of theory with a falsifying footnote. Vote Uncle Al a 10! Somebody should look at the gravitational case.

"Received: 09 Apr 2009 To be published first quarter 2010" - I do not believe it; your attachment prove nothing, it is the figure from organic chemistry. Your 'experiment' exist since 2005 already and 5 years all the world ignore your experiment. (Despite the fact that your experiment is in region of mainstream physics, not alternative physics. Usually journals pursue the alternative physics only);
Besides if your experiment will be published, don't worry; the laboratories can check it for free. And you don't need the FQXi for two reasons:
1. The FQXi prize is very small and you cannot use it to test EP better than Eot-Wash Group without a laboratory and a special physics education. It is a extremely complex problem and I do not believe that an organic chemist can test EP better than Eot-Wash Group. You need a prize for personal use only, but not for the experiments.
2. The essay should be about, "What is Ultimately What is Possible in Physics", but not, "What should we do about it". FQXi do not colect the proposals for the experiments;

It is a extremely complex problem and I do not believe that an organic chemist can test EP better than Eot-Wash Group. You need a prize for personal use only, but not for the experiments.
2. The essay should be about, "What is Ultimately What is Possible in Physics", but not, "What should we do about it". FQXi do not colect the proposals for the experiments;

Dear Alan M. Schwartz,
Though the ‘limits of failed symmetry’ is in analogy with the supersymmetry of nature, in most of the times a perfect symmetry is possible only in infinity and the supersymmetry with perturbation solutions may provides only with more précised symmetry solutions and not with absolute solutions. As the absolute precision of symmetry is often failed in systems, this ‘limits of failed symmetry’ is much appropriate to be included in systems for completeness.
With Best wishes

Euclidean geometry proves the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees exactly - neither more nor less, ever. Take a globe of the Earth. Consider a segment of Equator bounded on each side by a line of longitude. These two lines meet at tht North Pole. Lines of longitude intersect a line of latitude (the Equator) at exactly 90 degrees. You cannot draw a triangle on the surface of the Earth with as few as 180 degrees as the sum of its interior angles. A 540 degree sum is possible. Euclid is incomplete. Euclid is wrong.
Classical gravitation, string theory, quantum field theory, the Standard Model, SUSY, SUGRA... are no better than Euclid. Each fears a single reproducible counterexample arising from a failed founding postulate. IN VITRO VERITAS. Vote a 10, push for the experiment. Somebody should look.

Physics is limited by the cowardice of its practitioners and the ex cathedra infallibility of its adminstrators. Philosophy says "DON'T LOOK!" Theory says "DON'T LOOK!" Comments above are appalling, "DON'T LOOK!" Gods are historically incapable of writing a calendar, furnishing a credible pi, or disclosing novocaine. Test of faith!

Hi Steve! A tetrahedral bond is arccosine(-1/3). In nuclear magnetic resonance, magic angle spinning is [(arccos)^2](1/3). Is there something special about 1/3? Nah. Uncle Al, being an organic chemist at the bench, does not respect theory unless it proves itself (multinuclear supercon FT-NMR works). In vitro veritas! Physics walks 2(pi) steradians in the opposite direction with string theory and SUSY, respectable because they do NOT work. Uncle Al throws down an empirical gauntlet to physics. It is not overmuch expensive, it runs in existing apparatus using commercial materials over 90 days, it is overseen by academic staff working by the book. All physics can be subtlely wrong. General Relativity and quantum mechanics are irreconcilable and both wrong. Every triangle drawn on a globe of the Earth will enclose more than 180 degrees. Euclid is insufficient. It required 2000 years for somebody to take a meaningful look.
Hi Eckard! I do not wish to philosophize nor do I claim prescience. Organikers can barely do arithmetic. "8^>) I wish to test good theory, on a lab bench, consistent with equally good though unfashionable theory. Theorists can then debate observation. Economics plied that trade for centuries and has yet to accurately predict tomorrow's Dow-Jones close. Physics exercises much higher standards, albeit absent the past 30 years.
Vote a 10, do the parity gravitation experiments! Physics screams "heteroskedasticity!" (or equally good, "heteroscedasticity!" - a wry comment itself) when confronted with chirality. Then it rewrites. Theory falsified by observation is wrong. Somebody should look.
Of all the many essays posted to date, how many allow their assertions to be tested as just another lab experiment? Only mine. Reality is not a peer vote. Reality is an observation. (Spinzoa killed god, but he had a day job grinding lenses to cover room and board. Me too.)

Dear Uncle Al,
Thank you for responding. I almost entirely agree: Reality is something that can be observed. If someone has a job that demands high skill in performing observation and does not tolerate wrong interpretation then it he is perhaps more qualified than any priest or theoretician. Spinoza defined infinity as something that cannot be increased. He still understood that a line does not consist of as many points as you like.
Read at least the introduction of my essay :
Physics is subject to some general fundamentals that deserve absolute priority:
At first, theory has to obey reality, not the other way round. ... Accordingly the traditional concept of causality is indispensable. ... Unfortunately, such attitude is at odds with ... general symmetry conjectured by Wigner.
and two headlines
1) Mutually contradicting claimed impossibilities: Common sense has won
3) How to cope with what is behind Cantor's paradise?
I am convinced that not just your finding but also the main claims of my essay can and will be further tested by experiments and in practice. Maybe, your experiment as well as the expensive use of LHC will contribute.
Regards,
Eckard

I agree, Eckard, that theory cannot be empirically falsified and survive (except as a facile heuristic - Newton is good). I have no objection to theory proposing outrageous contingencies *if they are testable*. One cannot easily embrace the EPR paradox or the magnetic and electric Aharonov–Bohm effects, yet they perform at will. Hund's paradox is equally outrageous but untested. I predict that it will fail (make excuses) given a small rigid resolved chiral molecule like norbornenone.
As you say, even philosophy ultimately and fundamentally arises from postulated symmetries. Philosophy is not easily falsified, god being a particularly slippery (and empirically bloody) concept. Physics begins with the most extreme symmetries and visibly fails in its derivation. Physics is riddled with chiral exceptions and routinely embarrassed by initially denied then accepted empirical examples. So assaulting philosophy might best wait for seeing how physics fares, for a failure will be beyond debate.
My mortal sin is putting the whole of physics at risk with trivially performed experiments arising from chemistry, a lesser science unworthy of regard. Physics does not fear obtaining one more net null output. Physics desperately fears obtaining its first net nonzero output. Everybody would be selectively wrong, falling to an organic chemist. Nasty.
If observed reality is fundamentally left-handed, philosophy has missed something big. One imagines Islam will be particulary chagrined. Somebody should look. The first black swan is the important swan.

Dear Ben,
Did you already ponder about the local/global issue in signal processing? STFT is localized by means of an arbitrary window. My method to calculate a spectrum by means of elementary cosine transforms is globally comprehensive even if this is not easily comprehensible.
I would appreciate if you could confirm that my M290 is readable to you. I do not imagine electrons like circulating points. Wouldn't such point need a velocity in excess of c as to compensate the electrostatic force?
Dear Uncle Al,
Experimental falsification as well as confirmation can be wrong. I gave examples in my essay.
Isn't any contingency not at all exactly testable in principle if we allow for the non-existence of closed systems in reality? Shannon: Future is unknown, in principle, but we can influence it.
I didn't say that science arose from postulated symmetries. On the contrary, I found out that claimed mirror symmetry of signals tends to be the result of lost realism. Since you are a chemist, you have possibly more often to do with Emmy Noether's conservation than with the opposite: irreversible processes, which I consider one-sided in reality while arbitrarily scalable and even reversible after abstraction. You will hopefully agree that ideal symmetry tends to be rare in reality. Ideal symmetry often rather indicates mathematical artifacts.

Eckard

Dear Alan (I'm sorry I have to post a corrected version) -
I partly agree with the abstract of your essay, where you say:
Gravitation and quantum mechanics are separately accurately predictive to the limits of observation but together are utterly incompatible. No contemporary quantum gravitation theory offers testable predictions.
There is a potential solution for those issues. QM becomes a somewhat realistic local theory when the paradoxical results from interference experiments are ignored.* Elements of this local theory were developed by de Broglie, without relying on abstract QM postulates [1]. According to de Broglie, an electron exhibits an oscillating behavior. This behavior has been experimentally confirmed [2]. On the other hand, GR is a rather global theory. It has oscillating (big bang - big crunch) solutions, which suggest temporarily local relativistic behavior. To my mind, the spatial oscillation allowed by GR is way too large. When an electron performs a local oscillation, then it unifies quantum and relativistic behavior in a single process. My essay covers some details. Please also consult the comments on the essay, which offer important additions and clarifications.
* Traditional QM does not say anything about photons and therefore, strictly, cannot say anything about photon interference. The 'non-local behavior' that supposedly occurs in (photons and massive particle) interference experiment requires an instantaneous (faster-than-light / non-physical) collapse of the wave function. This phenomenon remains to be explained in a different 'realistic' fashion.

Dear Eckard-
I plan to read your essay and already took a quick look at it. I assume that you mean a Fourier transform.
In my view, the notions of electrostatic force and charge are long-range notions. So, they cannot be applied to extremely short ranges when non-linear weak interaction comes into play. Current theory mixes the short- and long-range perspective and then ends up with fractional charges. In my essay, I try to explain this (with shortcuts, but see ref in essay).
In QFM, particles are dynamic entities created by the attractive interaction between two different fundamental fields, which have different mobilities. Because the protofields have different mobilities and they are attracted to one another, any moving protfield perturbation must also rotate (spin). At any 'distance' from the dynamically created space point, the perturbation moves at the speed-of-light, but gets twisted ('entangled') like water flowing down a drain.
The electrons are not circulating points. Electrons are dynamic oscillating protofield perturbations which, as part of their reduction-expansion behavior caused by protofield attraction, dynamically create space points at the rate of their oscillation frequency,. Calculation gives an oscillation frequency of 10^20 Hz, which is backed by [1].

Geometric chirality is the non-superposability of an array of points and its mirror image (one coordinate axis reversed in sign) in space by translation and rotation only. Find the three principle moments of inertia. Their mutual intersection is the center. Superpose the two centers, original and mirror-image, then use quaternions or Euler angles. Globally minimize the sum of squared distances between corresponding points, set and mirror-image set. Zero sum (achiral) or non-zero sum (chiral) obtains. Parity is a stronger limit in 3-space - sign inversion of all three coordinate axes.
If you have e.g. a tetrahedron with four differently colored vertices, you cannot superpose the same colors, tetrahedron and mirror-tetrahedron. Gravitation is empirically blind to all measurable test mass properties including composition (color chirality). All test mass atoms are identical, anonymous, unit mass points. Nobody knows if left and right shoes vacuum free fall identically.
A chiral array of points in 3-space will NOT possess Sn improper (rotation-reflection) axes: mirror plane(s) S1, inversion point, S2, or higher Sn axes (e.g, S4, a baseball seam). Invert a left glove to get a right glove. Cn pure rotation axes are irrelevant. You cannot rotate a left shoe to superpose upon a right shoe.
Optical rotation does not detect or measure geometric chirality or parity divergence. Silver thiogallate, AgGaS2 with non-polar achiral tetragonal space group I-42d has 522°/millimeter optical rotation along [100] at 497.4 nm. 2-Norbornanone has [alpha]D = 29.8° cm^3/g-dm. 2-Norbornenone has [a]D = 1146.° cm^3/g-dm. Their respecitve atoms are essentially superposable except for olefinic hydrogens. Attached stereogram norone.png
Those who value theory to the exclusion of experiment are cowards. The only reality is empirical reality. Theory predicts what it is told to predict by observation. Nobody knows if left and right shoes vacuum free fall identically. Somebody should look.
Maximum qualitative self-similar, periodic atomic mass distribution chirality is acheived by three enantiomorphic crystallographic space groups of 230 possible space groups overall. Maximum quantitative parity divergence is ab inito explicitly calcualable with Petitjean's QCM software. A parity Eotvos experiment opposing space groups P3(1)12 and P3(2)21 quartz is guaranteed to output at least the gold standard of 420+ years of Equivalence Principle testing - zero net output.
Dirac scolded Stern (of Stern-Gerlach) that proton magnetic moment (a terrifically difficult observation at the time) could be calculated far better than it could be measured. Otto Stern got the Nobel Prize/Physics 1946. Theory gave the wrong answer.
The proper test of spacetime geometry is maximally nonsuperposable atomic mass distribution geometry. Ignorance is not a form of knowing things, theory is impotent. Somebody should look.

I have very little schooling in these matters though I am adressing that issue now. I only have the one thought on all this, if you will indulge a student...
Chiral molecules are not symmetrical, but...
Say you have your left shoe, and your right shoe, and you break these down into atoms within a spherical vacuum. The vacuum is given poles at each dimension (not polarity)so as to ascertain geometry within the sphere. Could you assign these atoms to their respective positions 3 dimensionally on the opposite pole and come up with the same shoes, only the left is now the right (albeit upside down) and vice versa?
Wouldn't this denote symmetry, if it works?
If it doesn't work, why?
Never let your legend get in the way of your potential.
Keep up the good work.
GAL.

Parity gravitation tests arise from orthodox physical theory (e.g., teleparallel gravitation), are rigorously derived, reduce to practice, and can falsify broad swaths of contemporary physics without contradicting any prior observation. You see how this outrages theorists and their untestable unorthodox extensions of theory. Somebody should look.
Paul, 1178 words? $25K grows quartz in both hands: chemical purity (no lascas' aluminum), dryness (Grade A), and low dislocation density (etch pits/cm^2). I've talked with academic groups. Senior faculty grant funding wants zero-risk, zero-innovation, PERT-charted productivity. A third class of gravitation experiment that accepts a parity test is being constructed by better people. Years to go.
The Eot-Wash group "vision" is zero-risk, zero-innovation, http://www.npl.washington.edu/eotwash/publications/pdf/lowfr

It disavows a parity Eotvos experiment opposing spacetime geometry with test mass geometry. 420+ years of perfect failure does not justify a different approach. My paper will be published in a *mathematics* journal, early 2010. Referees passed it. They will not be embarrassed if it works to spec.
Gal - it is not about molecules or compartmentalization. The Coupe du Roi cancels chirality by pairing homochiral entities. The entire mass distribution is considered. A countable number of anonymous unit mass points with overall three finite moments of inertia comprise the test mass (metaphoric " shoe"). Create the inverted set and quantitatively compare. Inversion occurs in many ways. An exact method is required. Turning a shoe inside-out reverses it, as does an odd number of mirror reflections along axes or mixed axes, relative to the origin or to an external point of view.
In 3-space, find the three principle moments of inertia. Their axes intersect at the center of mass as (0,0,0). Build Cartesian (x,y,z) and locate each point (+/- x,+/- y,+/- z). The parity-inverted set is (-/+ x,-/+ y,-/+ z). Fast, easy, exact. A candidate test mass snugs QCM-calculated CHI = 1, perfect normalized parity divergence, by a few angstroms radius from any contained coordinate - and sustaines. A qualifying test mass also QCM calculates COR =1 (the identity element, from graph theory) and DSI = 0 (direct symmetry index - a set's similarity to itself). DSI is… complicated. http://petitjeanmichel.free.fr/itoweb.paper.JMP.1999.petitje

Summary: Nobody knows if maximally divergent left and right shoes falsify vacuum isotropy in the massed sector. Said shoes are rigorously defined, reduce to practice, and insert into existing apparatus. Go ahead folks, dump in 1000 "1" votes. You cannot answer the question, I can, and all physics depends on its outcome. The limit to physics is the politics of fear having replaced endeavor, process (management) not product (experiment).

Thanks Al
I appreciate the time you took to answer my question. I understand now I think... the shoes once transposed on opposite poles would still be chiral. As they are chiral their functions will differ so symmetry of eye does not denote true symmetry. The transposition does nothing to alter the chiral nature of the shoes.
These chiral molecules fascinate me and make me wonder how many of our drugs are counterproductive chiral molecules, this will explain a lot of contraindications and why one mans cure is anothers poison. I guess with you being an organic chemist this is very old news to you.
I'm doing my first biochemistry module now. So far so good.

Terry, I don't vote here. I'd be biased as a synthetic chemist who believes in experiment, maximizes yield, and has a waste crock. "UMPOLUNG!" When nothing works by the book, try the opposite. The universe is not unfriendly, merely selective with whom it shares a hug. Books get rewritten.
420+ years of Equivalence Principle testing sum to a perfect net zero output. Either the EP is true or its falsification does not reside in composition. No gravitation theory contains composition. Gravity is geometry. A pistol fires any kind of bullet, lead ball to Glazer, but caliber matters. So perhaps gravitation in kind.
I propose an unremarkable experiment in existing apparatus using off-the-shelf materials; performed by the book by skilled and skeptical personnel. Amorphous fused silica is the versus quartz control - versus left, versus right, and versus itself to verify a true null output baseline. Applied mathematical analysis of geometric parity divergence is sufficiently well wrought to be published in a refereed mathematics journal (galley proofs ho!).
A non-null output would rework physics: gravitation through EP falsification, conservation of angular momentum then QFT through vacuum anisotropy. No prior observation would be contradicted, for physics ignores metaphoric shoes. The past is abject failure. As for the future… somebody should look.

Dear Uncle Al,
I'm also applying some symmetry ideas from Physical Chemistry towards an SM/ GR/ boson/ fermion TOE. The primary difference is that you seem more intently focused on 3-D crystallography, whereas I'm playing with multiple dimensions. You should understand my geometries better than many of the other contestants. I would appreciate a critique.
Have Fun!

You say, "I have listed 10 points on which I claim basic science is wrong."
You are not granted that privilege. If you wish to contest science, present a reproducible falsifying observation. Have 20 years of string theory, SUSY, Higgs boson, MOND taught you nothing? Theory without empirical anchor is a skinned balloon. Given ore, deal in the values not with the dross.
(physical reality) - (empirical reality) = faith
The worst the parity Eotvos experiment can do is give zero net output. That is the gold standard of 420+ years of Equivalence Principle testing. The only risk is success. Success contradicts no prior observation in any venue at any scale. It is a new way for physics to fail. Somebody should look.

Gal: Sepracor made $billions by taking commercial racemic pharma, isolating the biologically active optical isomer by chiral chromatography, then repatenting as the resolved enantiomer. Pharma takes 10 years or more of a 20-year patent to pass clinical, costing $500-800 million. Sepracor was immediately FDA cleared for marketing the same pharma "without impurities."
Terry: Absent falsifying tests you only have argument. When a supercon multinuclear FT-NMR runs, the whole of physics short of relativity is engaged. Add GPS and particle accelerators. *Demonstrate* a contention is defective. Propose richer theory with testable novel consequences.
NOBODY knows if left and right shoes vacuum free fall identically. If so, all physics has an exception. Eotvos balances are in use. Opposed test masses are maximally parity divergent atomic mass distributions by Equivalence Principle rules: All properties are inert, only pure geometry is active. All atoms are gravitationally anonymous indistinguishable unit masses; chemical bonding is invisible, charge and spin are irrelevant, optical rotation is arbitrary, etc. Observables are not diagnostic of geometry, optical rotation in chiral almost congruent structures and achiral silver thiogallate.
Crystallography is in qualitative agreement with calculated maximum parity divergence. Pettitjean's QCM-calculated extremal CHI=1, COR=1, DSI=0 includes quartz. Anybody with a dissenting calculation is invited to post - if including a better candidate. Triangulanes, helicenes, twistane; chiral fullerenes and carbon nanotubes, Avnir's tungsten chelate, Aldrich Cat. No. 497460, Ni3(dpa)4Cl2… and certainly DNA are not better.

1. I leave the empirical issues to others, including you - but i am kept waiting for your data because your approach to experiment causes needless delay.
I am focused on fixing the formalism, the maths and the logic, as my essay makes clear, so that all empirical data can be explained rationally. My experimental data is already available. I specify what it is in my essay - see references to Foucault, Baez, and Lisi. I also have data sources here (Norman Cook) and in Chemistry, Biology, and Cognitive Science texts.
2. An essay is a "polite" form of argument. The adjective explains your ratings, and why despite your ranting for 10 years or more - NO ONE WILL LISTEN TO YOU - even though many, including me, agree with you. You could have had the free trip to Stockholm years ago - if only you took notice of Dale Carnegie.

This essay that i have still to read in full, seems to have brought strong reactions from the community members. Trying to be an outsider, i see this as a clash between egos, physicists and chemists, mathematicians, theorists and experimentalists. Such 'clashes' to me appear not truly academic, as the use of strong words do not reflect humility which all great scientists show towards lesser beings. i have personally experienced such truths while just a graduate student in USA, i happen to have a Nobel Leureate shaving in an adjoining washbasin in a hostel's large bath,meant for delegates attending an International Conferernce. He literally compelled me and released from hesitency to come out with details of what i was doing and praised the same immensely with some humbly made suggestions, when i myself knew it was not deserving the same. From that momnet onwards, i learnt the lesson how to behave with colleagues/students in order to enhance the objectives of science, rather than bother about personalities/status etc.
I am an experimentalist who has dabbled little in theory but did attempt lot of empirical studies in the absence of adequate labs. Today i feel happy that i have a few patents,linkages with industry that are giving me professional activities well into my retirement from University service. The breadth of my exposure has provided me the richness and boldness to enter unexplored areas.
We all need to encourage and enrich all our colleagues and students, in order to get the best out of them for the good of sciences. There is no need to score points or competition ratings or any return from what one does. it should come naturally, uninfluenced. i regret my advisory posture if it hurts anyone here.

I asked whether the Equivalence Principle is falsified by left and right hands in 1999. I've been patient, I've been polite, I've been explicative until letters faded off a keyboard (a,s,n go first). I've configured a class of organic molecules whose chirality cannot be named, exposed an error in esoteric mathematics, and calculated parity divergence of test masses to 4.4410^17 atoms because a physicist was too stupid to comprehend periodic crystals are self-similar. After 10 years I see nothing but 10 years of composition Eotovs experiments that perfectly nulled. Waiting is ended. Physics gets it rammed down its craw, in public.
The emperor can be clothed or naked without contradiction either way. I will thereafter be contrite in defeat or gracious in victory - but I will not be silent or accommodating in process. I have had my fill of crap eructated by people comfortable in their ignorance and nurtured by the status quo. Contemporary physical theory - string, SUSY, Higgs, dark matter - is obscene. That it is untestable in its predictions is no protection against falsfication of its founding postulates. If it requires the lesser science of chemistry to do it, so be it. Walk it off.
Somebody should look.

BigCHI is running glycine gamma-polymorph, enantiomorphic space group P3(2), in an AMD FX-55 booted with Knoppix Live! DvD. Quits March 2010 at large radius, time/point growing as (radius)^2. Day #1 did 38,050 radius increments summing to 5000 A, 66.5 billion atoms. Log(1 - CHI) vs. radius y = mx + b theoretical slope is -2 exactly, found -1.99993. Least squares graphic intercept of 0.480191 (smaller is larger CHI/radius). Quartz, the previous best, gave 0.534246.
Petitjean's QCM gave CHI -> 1, COR = 1, DSI = 0. CHI is then a connection among eigenvalues, special functions, their representation theory with solid angles, and exponentials of fractions of pi at a characteristic scale. The three consecutive atom angle is 180 - [60(intercept + pi)/pi], or 110.83 degrees. Acta Cryst. B 36 115 (1980) for HOOC - CH2 - NH2 (zwitterion). Crystal structure C-C-N angle of 111.15 degrees, giving an intercept of 0.46338, thus 96.5% agreement. Pearson correlation of -0.9854 for 38,050 points.

1023 words, Paul. Write, then discard at least 1/3 the words, leaving content. Cheap 1 TB HDs and 16 MB flash drives debase discourse. Efficiency, content/size, matters.
A parity Eotvos experiment requires eight test masses: $25-30K Sawyer Research x-plate process, 12-18 months to grow quartz in both hands. Shape, balance, gild; $15K. Then academic apparatus and lease of the Department and its research group. No academic wants an outsider overthrowing his discipline with a scut experiment. Call it ~$250K overall. Grant funding must be shamed into supporting a novel experiment. No professional manager champions a risk of success over guaranteed failure. He is rewarded for process not product.
The two papers are embargoed until released. Preliminary glycine gamma-polymorph parity divergence output, glydense.png, and qzdense.png below. Note difference in scales. A Canadian box will serial crunch another 80,000 points at small radii coming week. My AMD FX-55 does five months of serial crunching at larger radii. Anybody with a slack cluster or server farm is invited to play - parallel execution code is in hand. 10,000 CPU-hrs is a boost. At larger radii atoms added/radial increment grows too fast to be densely sampled vs. CPU time that rises/point as (radius)^2.
The only reality is empirical reality. Somebody should look.

Al,
When I checked it on my word processor it came to exactly 1024 words or one binary K. I thought there might be some extremely important universal significance to that so I didn’t dare to change it. Isn’t that a good excuse? A little more seriously, I think I have the idea now. You want the information presented, but you want it to be in a concise form. Let me try one. Here goes.

Somebody should look.
How is that?
12–18 months is a long time to wait to get the crystals. Unless you already have that part taken care of. Too bad structured field technology hasn’t been developed here yet. If I was an academic I wouldn’t want some outsider overthrowing my discipline with an experiment about rabbit or deer tails (scut) either. You might have to go higher up than the local manager. There actually are some owners with vision, probably not many though. Try high tech firms, but you need to give them a reason if possible. If your experiment proves current theories wrong, do you have a better theory to replace them and can you think of any new practical applications that will be derived from it. The shame game can work as long as you are right, but if you are wrong once it can come back on and limit you for a long time. You are right. It is one of man’s weaknesses to like to continue in familiar patterns of behavior rather than try new things.
When will the papers be released? Today’s computers are really slow aren’t they and the AMD FX-55 isn’t the fastest of them either. I use an I7 - 920 for local work here, but it would still take a long time with it too, so I couldn’t be of a lot of help there. You could use a 8 or 16k parallel processor array system, but most of them are already being heavily used, so getting time on one would likely be difficult.

I use an I7 - 920 for local work here, but it would still take a long time with it too, so I couldn’t be of a lot of help there. You could use a 8 or 16k parallel processor array system, but most of them are already being heavily used, so getting time on one would likely be difficult.

Quartz must be pure (grown from cultured quartz discards not lascas), dry (Grade A not commercial Grade C), and have minimum dislocations (etch pits/cm^2). 12-18 months in an autoclave, Sawyer Research x-plate process. Commercial z-plate is insufficient. The best Brazilian natural quartz wasn't nearly good enough by the 1940s.
Quartz' calculation was hosted by Silicon Valley companies, a slack piece of CERN, a European server farm... I got output, they located defective CPUs. BigCHI or CHIpir, CPU usage is 99% continuous plus the OS, only in RAM. Billions of atoms are fast, quadrillions are slow. Beowulf clusters or server farm slack work, graphics processors ganged in parallel are exciting. Anybody with hardware running anyway but doing nothing can host the parallel computation. NASA and its supercomputer "Columbia" have a multi-layer consideration process taking longer than a single processor run. I don't have a volunteer who can honcho Solaris in offered server farm slack.
NOBODY knows if left and right shoes together falsify the Equivalence Principle. Orthodox physical theory equally supports both outcomes. Geometric parity divergence is rigorously quantified by explicit calculation. Apparatus and its loading are off the shelf. FQXi voting is infatuation with untestable theory over empirical experiment. The limit to physics is not imagination, it is professional management forever pursuing the sure path of business plans. PowerPoint is success, not Accounts Receivable. How is that working out elsewhere?
Somebody should look

Al,
I read your paper and I noticed a couple of concepts that I have seen many places that are somewhat in error. Since I have seen these concepts displayed in many places, I believe you may have just picked them up from somewhere else and not really checked them out in detail. We all do that at times. There is just so much information out there that it is not possible to check it all...

When contrasted single crystal test masses of space group P3(1)21 and P3(2)21 quartz evince a net non-zero output in a parity Eotvos experiment: the Equivalence Principle is empirically untrue, Einstein's elevator has a massed exception, Noether's theorem does not enforce conservation of angular momentum. Physics may textually encode those ineluctable consequences any way it likes.
Paul wrote, "The problem with drawing a triangle on a sphere is that: 1. The lines are no longer straight because they bend into the third dimension and are, therefore, curved and" A 2-sphere, the surface of a 3-D ball, is strictly 2-D (n-sphere, only latitude and longitude are required to uniquely locate a contained point). The sides of its triangles are geodesics (great circles). There is no shorter path between two points.
My essay is traceably, factually correct. A parity Eotvos experiment net non-zero output contradicts no observation in any venue at any scale. That the essay is testable in unremarkable apparatus using commercial materials outrages those whose vocation and reputation are learned eructation not physical reality. Somebody should look.
Calculated log(1 - CHI) vs. radius for glycine gamma-polymorph passed 20,000 A radius and 4.2 trillion atoms 19 October 2009. Glycine asymptotes to CHI = 1 at 1.11 times quartz' rate, has 1.6 times the atoms/volume, and enantiomorphic space groups P3(1) / P3(2) possess lower symmetry than quartz in P3(1)21 / P3(2)21. Nice.

On this link on n sphere ,I saw the stereographic projection .
Very interesting to insert in my model ,for the orbitals it's relevant .
For the real number ,it's of course behind the perceptible lat and long systems of coordonnates ,where the system is different in its stereographic projection due to the complexification towards the planck scales,logic because each entangled rotating spheres are specifics .The perception of surface is our perception in fact .The polarity is well made ,fortunaly .Simple and complex in fact this polarity system .

Al,
The angular (instantaneous direction) component of motion is not always conserved in reality. When a positron and electron interact, their angular components (generated by their fifth vector motions) are canceled out when their fifth vector motions (which are traveling in the opposite directions in the fifth vector) are forced back into the fourth vector. The total amount of motion is...

Dear Uncle Al,
Being left-handed myself, I nonetheless did not yet entirely understand your interpretation of dominance of the negative right-hand rule in chemistry. Are you inspired by those who put the equivalence between inert and heavy mass into question? If so, is this the only explanation?
Some nuts are pretty hard. At 527 you will find a case, which is likewise unresolved while successfully denied by PRL.
Good luck,
Eckard

Paul, you confabulate curved coordinates with curved spaces. They are independent entities.
Parity Eotvos and parity calorimetry experiments could falsify vacuum isotropy at will. Classical and quantized gravitation theories, quantum mechanics, conservation of angular momentum could all be falsified at the founding postulate level for failing to include a chemical footnote. PHYSICS COULD BE WRONG without contradiction of any prior observation. Somebody should look.
Observation tests theory. Given points' relative coordinates Petitjean's (pdf) QCM calculates normalized geometric parity divergence CHI (0 to 1, fractional, achiral to perfect parity divergence), graph theory correspondences COR (1 to very large, as integers), and self-similarity DSI (0 to 1, fractional). With CHI asymptotic to one with COR = 1 and DSI = 0, CHI is a function of the eigenvalues of the inertia matrix; a connection among eigenvalues, special functions, their representation theory with solid angles, and exponentials of fractions of pi at a characteristic scale. Thence for glycine3.png attached,
log(1-CHI) = -2[log(radius)] + [(180-alpha)(pi)/60] - (pi)
We calculated (attached glydense.png) glycine gamma-polymorph with every radial increment that includes more atoms, over a significant radius range ultimately containing 66.5 billion atoms. Extreme density calculation is in process to 35,000 A radius, 22.8 trillion atoms. Theory predicts 0.463385 intercept from 111.15 degrees chirality emergence angle (neutron crystallography). The maximally dense graph shown has 0.463609 intercept, good to 0.048% relative. The analysis is empirically valid. Observed reality is the only reality. Somebody should look.

My post of Oct 12 got response from other the author of this essay. may be author has encouraged me on my essay but did not like to respond to me on his own essay.
I am poor in Organic chemistry that i use to dislike when in school. I just hated the long structural formula that i never could memorise. Later i did learn the logic behind but it was late as i chose Physics. Lately, i started to see that all branches of science are challenging if one likes to take the challenges. Author is determined in this respect. I suggest that he need to take the challenge of Leshan in his comments made in early Sept. Later, in a different way, Paul Butler paused a few points for author's consideration. It seems these challenges may be accepted by an enthusiastic author that we have . Besides he made useful comments on many other essays too. With this fraternity to back, he can certainly get his experimental plan executed. if it has not yet been covered, as claimed by some on this post that the matter has been settled as far as experiments are concerned.

Al,
You are right that I do connect coordinates with space in a familiar way because coordinates are used by man to show relationships between motion entities that exist in space. They are used to show position, distance, direction, and change of position, etc. of such entities individually and in relation to each other as appropriate. In general space does not come equipped with such...

Do opposite shoes falsify the Equivalence Principle?
Prior observation allows either result.
Geometric parity divergence is quantitative (Petitjean).
Enantiomorphic quartz single crystals are commercial.
A parity Eotvos experiment runs SOP.
Somebody should look.
33 words. Eveverything else (pdf) is excuses.

Al,
A group in Vienna just demonstrated interference with C60 Buckyballs. I was just wondering if your left hand and right hand crystals would interfere with themselves differently in an experiment like this.
Just a thought.

Enantiomorphic crystals would have no differential effect on C60 in point group Ih. A sock, C_60, cannot detect the difference between left and right feet. There are at least six extreme parity divergent fullerenes: C_42, C_52, C_92, and C100 each in point group T (not Th or Td); C_140, C_160 each in point group I (not Ih). Each of the six wholly lacks mirror planes, an inversion point, and all other improper (rotation-reflection, e.g., S_4 of a baseball seam) symmetry elements. Each of them calculates through Petitejan's QCM as CHI=1, COR=1, DSI = 0.
I've talked with the matterwave group about molecular beam diffraction experiments of two kinds. First, diffract resolved twistane, C_10H_16 . Does it racemize by passage through the slits? Mechanism there would be recombination of mirrored wavefunctions after passage. Does it racemize via Hund's Paradox? Phys. Rev. Lett. 103 023202 (2009), Z. Phys. D 37 333 (1996). Their opinion is "no racemization," though they haven't looked.
Second, supersonically expand into hard vacuum helium seeded with semibullvalene, C_8H_8. Make the slits alternating CVD Peltier heater/coolers. The cryogenic molecular beam diffracts with paired wavefunctions at two different temperatures. How will they recombine given rate of degenerate rearrangement is exponentially dependent upon absolute temperature?
The group would like to diffract a virus small enough to be sprayed or desorbed into a molecular beam. Hund's paradox is locked out by molecular complexity. Racemization by mirror wavefuction recombination is a very remote possibility. Small simple molecules like twistane, cold semibullvalene, or hot bullvalene are better probes for these unlikely but intensely interesting outcomes.

Al,
1. Thanks, that was very informative about matter wave experiments. From what I could gather, there is interest in chiral particles but no interference experiments have been done to date. I think I got that right?
2. How come they do not use a lower velocity? If they used 20 m/s instead of 200 m/s the wavelength would be 10 times longer and the grating not so hard to fab. I have an interest in slow speed particles and was thinking that you just may know why.
3. Chiral-ity is basic, and you have reminded us that grand theories must account for it. I like the spice you have added to this forum.
Thanks again,
Don L.

Dear Alan,
About your essay, you state: "vacuum isotropy and the Equivalence Principle - can be empirically falsified without contradicting prior observations in any venue at any scale". Is this right? Suppose I am weighting an apple and a banana. Put them next to each other so they form the letter L. Now swap their position and create the mirror image of L. The parity is now reversed, but still they weight the same amount (at least in my grocery store). So here is a trivial counter-example to your “in any venue at any scale” statement. Everyone already looked. The only thing one can do is to now improve the accuracy of the experiments. But the same argument applies to all experimental physics.

C60 is not volatile. A hot molecular beam avoids deposition.
Physics postulates reality and its mirror image are identical in outcome; extrinsic and emergent properties are not fundamental. Only strong interactions are observed to behave. Torque, right hand rules, parity conservation violation (Weak interaction), teleparallel gravitation… are not mirror-symmetric.
Physics demands cubes describe parallelepipeds. V = a^3 requires patching if V = (abc)sqrt[(1 - cos^2(alpha) - cos^2(beta) - cos^2(gamma) - 2cos(alpha)cos(beta)cos(gamma)]. Unlike all other essays, my entry offers two calculated experiments in existing apparatus challenging two founding postulates of the entire discipline. Physics academics are white-hot with rage (and blind to chemistry). 420+ years of Equivalence Principle testing obtained perfect nulls. Academics fear the first success. As for voting... Uncle Al is a Mensan, 100,000 people of high intelligence worldwide. Word gets around for the modest ramp up, then smell the fear.
Benzil enthalpy of fusion - secondary standard for calibrating calorimeters - must be consistent outside parity test circumstances, allowing less than 10^(-12) EP divergence. An L (properly a scalene triangle) is 3D achiral. Configure 27 ball bearings for perfect parity divergence, stereogram. At scales smaller than four adjacent balls obtain zero chirality. Use single atoms not ball bearings, thus the parity Eotvos experiment in quartz or gamma-glycine and the parity calorimetry experiment in benzil. No smaller chiral emergence scale self-similarly repeated to centimeter dimensions is possible. Somebody should look.
Florin said, "Everyone already looked. The only thing one can do is to now improve the accuracy of the experiments." *Nobody* has performed a calculated geometric parity EP test. 5x10^(-14) difference/average Eotvos balance sensitivity is entirely adequate.
