I believe that most who participate in this forum will agree that the physics which is taught and generally accepted today has serious flaws and does not take into account the phenomena we come on here to discuss and refine.
With this thought in mind, I submit to you some of my thoughts on energy for you to tear apart, add to, subtract from, etc.. It is not my goal to come up with a unified field theory, but I would like to understand this universe we call home as much as possible. My goal here is as much anyones goal- to experiment, discover, and harness these phenomena, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before... er, I mean scratch that part about new life and civilizations
As well, please forgive the nonconscise nature of these ramblings, I hope everything will turn out clear in the end..
Energy... is stated in many physics texts as "the ability to do work"
I defined it as a much younger researcher of all things quantum mechanical (albeit incorrectly) as bosons... these are force carriers, such as photons, but "force carriers" and the "force" they "carry" are two separate things.
But going back to what I wanted to talk about today- the root of things
Why is a magnetic field (or why isn't it) energy?
Well obviously it has the ability to do work, but I'm beginning to think you can't really call static fields (or "potential energy") energy
Dividing it down, we can model the magnetic field of a magnet with a coil of wire and electricity of a certain voltage and current. But we've just taken one value: magnet A has field geometry of X, Y, Z; and we've reproduced it with several different variables: coil of certain number of turns, potential difference between ends of the coil, current through the coil yeilds magnetic field of geometry/strength of X, Y, Z.
We used a dynamic system to reproduce something which was happening in a static system.
Sitting in a motionless universe, who would know or care whether or not a magnet had a magnetic field. Better pictured this way- if time stopped, how would you measure the field strength of the magnet.
Energy is change. Energy requires a differential, a movement, a change of some sort. The two scenarios- of time being stopped and motion being stopped yeild the same exact results to any experiment done in one's head. Time is an illusion created by motion, yet, movement is an illusion created by time.
Time has always been the important part of any equation of energy. Force over time equals energy... force over distance equals, guess what, work (AKA energy)
the equations are the same
Shifting gears away from my past arguments to something more recent and more akin to peter lindemanns neck of the woods,
a magnetic field IS energy, I have determined. A partice will curve in a magnetic field- a change in direction is defined as acelleration- so there is as much energy transfer, but not in a way we can directly plug into- but thankfully, because since it transfers energy in this way it doesn't destroy its ability to do so, like an electric field.
Here are the rules:
The electric field is a longitudinal field, it propogates in its direction of motion, therfore it transfers energy directly from point A to point B. A spark jumps from a negatively charged electrode to a positively charged one.
But the magnetic field is transverse, it propogates perpendicular to its direction of travel, thus it transfers energy by curving ones path.
And these forrces wrap themselves together in an electron.
Going deeper, and this is my point, I believe in what one might call a theory that says there is a medium filling space by which forces act. An ether or aether or subspace or whatever you want to call it. Early radio books speak of 'waves in the ether' it, but with einsteins relativity and quantum mechanics they say there are only particles and waves and a strange duality, but they've found a way to work the universe without an aether, which I believe is incorrect.
My only real point to all this, besides asking what theories you all ascribe to-
Wouldn't it work better if we thought of an electron not as a particle sometimes and a wave other times, but as two fields
