A new paper published by an MIT physicist claims to theoretically prove
that so-called quantum entanglement
(or two particles each seemingly occupying multiple states simultaneously)
gives rise to a wormhole which allows particles
to communicate through a so-called 'gravitational tunnel'.
This theory follows from a paper published earlier this year
which suggests that when two black holes become entangled,
they're not pulled apart, a wormhole is created which connects the black holes.
The reasoning in these papers follows from a
purely mathematical approach to physics and cosmology.
In this two-part presentation, physicist Wal Thornhill examines just how reliable
this approach is at describing how the universe actually works.
A glaring example of the irrational is to be seen in a recent ScienceDaily report titled,
'You Can't Get Entangled Without A Wormhole', which refers to papers by Julian Sonner,
a senior postdoc in MIT's lab for Nuclear Science and Center for Theoretical Physics,
and a related paper by Kristan Jensen of the University of Victoria,
and Andreas Karch of the University of Washington.
The article says that, "Essentially, entanglement involves two particles each
occupying multiple states at once, a condition referred to as 'superposition'.
For example, both particles may simultaneously spin clockwise and counterclockwise,
but neither has a definite state until one is measured,
causing the other particle to instantly assume a corresponding state.
The resulting correlations between the particles are preserved,
even if they reside on opposite ends of the universe."
Now, the word entanglement is a euphemism to hide the fact that
the physical connection is unknown.
So, all that follows isn't physics, it's mystification.
The indeterminacy of states also means we're not dealing with physics
which relies on being able to determine the state of the system being observed.
From a real physicists point of view, the most telling experimental fact
is that the connection between two entangled particles is instantaneous,
"even if they reside on opposite ends of the universe".
So, the article asked the question,
but what enables particles to communicate instantaneously
and seemingly faster than the speed of light over such distances?
The simple classical physics answer is that the connection between the two particles
is not via a slow transverse electromagnetic wave.
Instead, it's the same kind of connection that we observe between the planets and the Sun:
that is, gravity.
Newton's law of gravity does not include time
- the force of gravity acts instantaneously.
Now, the Electric Universe explains that gravity itself
is a form of the electric force that operates upon neutral bodies
by distorting the subatomic charged particles within those bodies
to form tiny weak electric dipoles.
This simple model explains why gravity is such a weak force
(because sub-atomic particles are infinitesimally small)
and also why you can't easily shield from gravity
(because all the subatomic particles participate,
whether it's a conductor or non-conductor, whatever it's made from).
Importantly though, gravity on the cosmic scale allows us to see
that the direct electric force between particles operates instantly.
The spookiness and non-locality of quantum phenomena
can be understood both physically, and in meaningful language.
Entanglement then, is simply an electrical resonance between two subatomic particles
each comprised of an identical resonant system of orbiting charged sub-particles.
In other words, it's a repeated pattern - like an atom within an atom.
The instantaneous connection maintains the resonance, or entanglement,
between the particles regardless of their relative movement or distance apart.
Because the connection is instantaneous there is no Doppler-shift de-tuning
or anything like that, the two particles remain in communication.
This model that separates the phenomenon of electromagnetic waves in a medium
from the direct longitudinal connection between all matter in the universe
(that is, the electrical connection), opens up new insights for physicists.
For example, physicists attempt to isolate their experiment from outside influences
including the observer, but in our Electric Universe there is no isolated system.
The observer is a part of the experiment, whether he likes it or not,
and as discovered in so-called 'weird quantum experiments'.
Contrast this simple explanation with the meaningless language of the report,
and I quote:
"Earlier this year, physicists proposed an answer in the form of 'wormholes',
or gravitational tunnels.
The group showed that by creating 2 entangled black holes, then pulling them apart,
they formed a wormhole - essentially a 'shortcut' through the universe -
connecting the distant black holes".
Now, black holes are mathematical mistake
equivalent to the school mathematics 'howler' dividing by 0 to get infinity.
Gravity is weaker than the electric force by a factor of
1000 billion billion billion billion times.
Now, that's as close to zero as you can get.
So, using gravity to explain the concentrated energy sources
observed at the centers of galaxies, and calling them black holes,
is bound to give you answers that make no physical sense.
The wormholes are a geometric construct in more than 3 dimensions,
so they have nothing to do with the real space that physicists,
engineers, and you and I have to deal with.
But the article continues,
"Now an MIT physicist has found that, looked at through the lens of string theory,
the creation of two entangled quarks - the building blocks of matter -
simultaneously gives rise to a wormhole connecting the pair".
That's the end of the quote.
But string theory is, according to Peter Woit - Not Even Wrong.
The questions that need to be answered by this piece of whimsey
are both endless and pointless - pointless because no one knows what a quark is;
nor how matter can warp space to form a hole across the universe
(or even what that means); nor how that effect can be instantaneous.
Space is merely a concept of location in three dimensions.
How do you warp a concept?
But the article goes on,
"The theoretical results bolster the relatively new
and exciting idea that the laws of gravity
holding together the universe may not be fundamental,
but arise from something else: quantum entanglement".
That's hardly a breakthrough when you don't understand quantum entanglement.
You'll notice that modern physics is in the business
of complicating things beyond comprehension,
inventing new particles and forces in the hope of a Nobel Prize -
it is not the way classical physics was done.
Classical physics, until the beginning of the 20th century,
was in the business of simplifying particles and forces.
There was a strong intuitive feel on the part of leading scientists then,
that gravity is simply an electrical force of some description.
Like the forces between atoms that form our Earth and everything on it,
that's the conclusion of the Electric Universe based on all the new evidence since then.
The article says, of course, "...there appears to be a major barrier
to reconciling quantum mechanics and general relativity;
for years, physicists have tried to come up with a theory of quantum gravity to marry the two fields".
You'll notice that the standard picture of a black hole or a gravitational object
in space is represented as a funnel in space-time, usually with an object like,
in Earth's case, the Moon perched on the edge of the funnel.
With the idea being that the Moon, instead of traversing a straight line in space,
follows the curve of the funnel.
However, the very image itself gives a false picture
because we just assume that this gravitational well, or funnel,
has gravity pulling from underneath to draw the object down and into the funnel.
But, this is using gravity to explain gravity
- it's a circular argument and the image is quite misleading.
An object perched on the surface of this funnel
(if gravity we're not pulling it down) would remain fixed on that funnel,
it would have no force tending to move it downwards, or sideways or upwards,
it would remain exactly where it is.
But, it's plain to see that general relativity never explained gravity,
it merely described it's effect in a geometry that has no reality.
And quantum mechanics is a recipe book
with no understanding of the ingredients or how they interact.
As a result, the rest of the article is appalling nonsense,
headlined "Tunneling to the 5th Dimension".
It's only necessary to highlight the meaningless language
to show the ideas expressed are imaginary.
For example, "two entangled black holes" forgets that the mathematics of black hole theory
allows only a single black hole in an empty universe.
The Newtonian principle of superposition of gravitating objects
doesn't apply to general relativity.
There can never be a second black hole to get entangled.
The theorists invoke a wormhole, a tunnel through space-time,
produced by pulling two black holes apart.
Hyphenating the words 'space' and 'time' to produce
a 4th dimension is physically meaningless.
Mathematicians use the word 'dimension' to mean 'a degree of freedom' in their equations.
There are only three physical dimensions in space,
which are measured by length and direction.
Time has no length or direction - you can't point in the direction of time,
time has no arrow, joining space and time has no physical significance.
So, you cannot produce physical wormholes in space - it is pure science fiction.
One of the authors, Sonner, applied this thinking to quarks
(the theoretical subatomic building blocks of matter):
and I quote, "To see what emerges from two entangled quarks,
he first generated quarks using the Schwinger effect -
a concept in quantum theory that enables one to create particles out of nothing".
Here we see mathematicians resorting to dismissal of a principal of physics
that you cannot perform a creation miracle, it's not scientific.
The author Douglas Adams, in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,
parodied this slight of hand mercilessly when Zaphod Beeblebrox used an infinite
improbability drive to rescue Ford Prefect and Arthur Dent in deep space.
Particle physicists have been using the infinite improbability principle
since the inception of quantum theory.
As is well known, Einstein hated the idea.
He's reported to have said, "God doesn't play dice". He was right.
As soon as you disconnect cause from effect, you are not doing science.
Another quote from the article:
"Sonner mapped the entangled quarks onto a four-dimensional space,
considered a representation of space-time.
In contrast, gravity is thought to exist in the next dimension
as, according to Einstein's laws, it acts to 'bend' and shape space-time,
thereby existing in the fifth dimension". End of quote.
There is no four-dimensional space, there is no physical 5th dimension,
gravity is not explained by general relativity,
it is merely described in a limited an unreal geometric way.
It is not shown how imaginary four-dimensional space can be warped.
Cause and effect are disconnected - it just ain't science, it's merely mathematics.
The article finally leaves all common sense and logic far behind
and I quote, "To see what geometry may emerge in the fifth dimension
from entangled quarks in the fourth,
Sonner employed holographic duality, a concept in string theory.
While a hologram is a two-dimensional object
it contains all the information necessary to represent a three-dimensional view.
Essentially, holographic duality is a way to derive a more complex dimension
from the next lowest dimension". End of quote.
This is total rubbish!
There is no two-dimensional object - all objects are three dimensional
so, there can be no information held in two dimensions.
Real objects and information can only occupy three dimensions.
Coming back to the Space News report,
the black hole is an alleged product of Einstein's theory of gravitation,
but so is the wormhole between the two supposed black holes
(it's known as an Einstein-Rosen bridge).
But, then the wormhole is used and related to the two black holes to define gravitation.
Gravity emerges from the more fundamental phenomenon of
entangled black holes, the article says.
But this argument is simply a circular argument and so, it is nonsense.
