Making telephone calls with mobile phones, checking e-mails while being away on business, listening to news in the car: Communication on the way at any time and any place is part of our everyday life. It is made possible by a fundamental physical effect discovered by Heinrich Hertz exactly 125 years ago in Karlsruhe: The electromagnetic wave. Read more
Almost a decade ago Mr. McGrath began a business project that would eventually lead to developing an engineering-based model of quantum mechanics. The model provides a novel and simplified approach to explaining the formation and underlying mechanics of mass particles, field generation, and the fundamental interaction of atoms. Mr. McGrath will present the first in a series of papers at the American Physical Society Annual Conference 2009 scheduled in Denver on May 2-5, in conjunction with the Sherwood Fusion Theory Conference. The talk has been scheduled for Session X13, Quantum Mechanics and Tests of Physics Laws, at 1:30 p.m. On May 5, in Plaza Court, Room 3. The initial presentation, titled "Six Not-so-Hidden Field Dimensions" proposes a purely mechanical view of the atomic nucleus and metric structure. This view builds on a reinterpretation of the spherical potential well originally proposed by David Bohm in the early 50's. From this foundation, the field structure of the atom is developed using real x, y, and z coordinates, clock time and six real wave variables transmitted by the resonant nucleus. The approach allows for all coordinates in the atom's field to be simultaneously determined. In other words, the model reinforces the view that the rules inside the atom are perfectly consistent with the rules outside the atom. The model is a radical departure from current theoretical models.
