I didn't name this account after the place [[Maschen]] in [[Germany]], [[Harburg]]: it was sheer coincidence to combine "Machine" into a "name-like" term.

===New theories===


{{User pd}}
Theories like [[causal dynamical triangulation]] (CDT) and [[spin network]]s look like the right direction to [[quantum gravity]].
{{User:3p1416/Userboxes/Keen mathematician}}
{{userbox|id=<math>E^2-p^2=m^2</math>|info=This user understands [[physics]] at an '''[[Undergraduate education#English, Welsh, and Northern Irish system|undergraduate]]''' level.}}


{{-}}
CDT takes logical approaches:
*spacetime is quantized at small scales and appears as smooth, curved spacetime at large scales,
*that timelines must agree and casualty is preserved - not just describing, but possibly ''explaining'', the very nature of space and time itself,
*interesting is it's automatic [[fractal]] nature.
*perfectly simple (minimum number of ''essential'' assumptions) and extremely appealing.


{{userbox|id=[[File:Nuvola apps bookcase.svg|45px]]|info=This user is a '''[[bibliophile]]'''.}}
''Not'' [[string theory]] or the like - which make ludicrous assumptions that particles "are" strings or membranes or whatever and then require extremely complex modifications to spacetime just for consistency ([[Calabi–Yau manifold]]s? Really?).
{{userbox|id=[[File:Aiga railtransportation 25.svg|30px]]|info=This user's favourite transport is the [[train]].}}
*The worst part of string theory is right from the very beginning, is the assertion particles "are" strings etc. How can we ever know that experimentally? We can sit down speculating/guessing/modelling what particles "really are" (only to change again and again anyway in the future) a much as we like:
{{user:UBX/chess}}
::''"let's pretend '''everything''', even the "fabric" of space and time, is vibrating strings or springs or trampolines or twirling tops or spinning wheels or pendulums or twiddling knots/links or... then there are a number of fundamental normal modes/rotational frequencies/tensions of these ... and everything in the universe is derived from these fundamental things..."''
:It's weak - just making stuff up just for the sake of explaining physical phenomena, ''and yet'' the maths is ludicrously excessively complicated just so it works... CDT is ''not, at all'', like that.
*Should the unification of forces really be related by the number (10, 11, 26...) of spacetime dimensions??...
*Yes, it may combine GR and QFT and has passed internal consistency, but proponents seem too confident that it "is" the only approach, that "only all of the good ideas" come from string theory...
*What happens when new forces are found - shall we hope they still fit into the theory, or insert more dimensions, or what?
*Without question - the [[simple harmonic oscillator|SHO]], classical or quantum, or any form of linear [[normal mode]] oscillations, are the most ''inanely dull'' physical systems to ever solve for.. Yes - SHOs are important systems for [[perturbation theory]] methods, and oscillatory systems are ubiquitous and can be modeled by linear oscillations... but even the idea of something oscillating linearly is extraordinarily boring and tiresome. This idea is used in string theory. ('''Non'''-linear [[chaotic]] oscillations are much more interesting).

===Formulations and spaces===


{{User:Bluedenim/Autumn}}
'''Quantum theory:''' Has the [[path integral formulation]] using [[Lagrangian]]s had its day? Phase space formulation in QM and replacement of wavefunctions by Wigner functions offers new insight - no need to take sides with position/momentum representations as they're on equal footing.
{{userbox|id=[[File:Musical note nicu bucule 01.svg|45px]]|info=This user listens to '''[[heavy metal music|heavy metal]]''' and '''[[psychedelic music]]''' (mostly from the 1960s–90s, some 2000s–10s), and '''[[J-Rock]]'''.}}
{{User:Ilikepie2221/UBX/LovesCoffee}}
{{-}}


I also contribute occasionally to [[deviantart]] ([http://maschen.deviantart.com/ click here] for homepage).
'''Relativity:''' Space and time are always deeply mysterious, in classical mechanics and [[general relativity]]. GR itself apparently has a number of flaws (but then which physical theory is truly perfect?), one of them is that "events" are points in spacetime. Do points really exist in nature? How can we even physically define a point in spacetime? In superspace (and other spaces I haven't encountered) points themselves are replaced by spaces, no points actually exist. According to the [[ADM formulation]] of GR, space itself is 3d and curved, and time-dependent (dynamic).


==Background==
===Fractals, chaos, non-linearity, everywhere===


Generally, I like [[logic]], [[symmetry]], [[duality]], and [[self-similarity]] underlying fundamental principles of any form of [[knowledge]], and like [[Probability theory|randomness]], [[chaos theory|chaos]], irregularity and [[Nonlinear system|non-linearity]] because [[nature]] isn't "perfect" and regular.
Rather than changing the integer number of spacetime dimensions, and postulating wave or field or evolution equations of integer order, newer methods of
*(stochastic) [[fractal]]/[[multifractal]] geometry filling continua of dimensions between 0 and 3 or 4, and
*using [[geometric algebra]] and [[fractional calculus]] (or even [[fractional differential forms]] or fractional [[geometric calculus]]?), for example [[fractional quantum mechanics]],
look like the right way forward. "Particles/waves/fields" may be replaced by fractal structures which propagate [[self-similarity|self-similarly]] through spacetime.


{{Navbox
Given how ubiquitous fractals are everywhere (literally everywhere, one way or another), a better notion of space and time may be dynamic and curved fractal spaces. ''Replacing'' the description of "particles/strings (etc)" described by wave-like or field-like probability amplitudes, by a ''fractal-geometric probability amplitude'' propagating through curved dynamical space, seems very appealing. Interpreting the constituents of [[matter]] always transforms, first "[[particle]]s" ([[classical mechanics]]), then [[wave-particle duality]] ([[quantum mechanics]]), then [[field (physics)|field]]s ([[quantum field theory]]).

Drawing for recreation (for instance mathematical patterns, [[technical drawing]]s, people in [[Japanese manga]] style, building [[architecture]], and when a kid: almost every form of European [[train]], and so on...) is also very fun, although I can do technical graphics I'm not good at artistic at all! (much of these creations end up in the bin or deleted instead of storage for later leisure!!)...

IMO There is nothing like drawing: simply a pencil on paper allows one to literally release imagination pictorially in no other precise (or vague/mysterious) way, and can be viewed later any number of times to think and rethink the concept of the image endlessly. Of course there is immense diversity of drawing tools and materials mechanically and electronically for any purpose required, to amplify the power of the pencil and paper...

'''Isn't it sad that:'''
|list1 =
*in all years of civilization - science, mathematics, technology, industrialization have developed far slower than they could have because of irrelevant and empty customs, religions, and personal preferences of the "higher-uppers"; "leaders" of a country or a "inflexible generations" blocking the way? (i.e. any case where people are forbidden to think outside of some falsely obscure box, and make new discoveries in the service of civilization with mutual respect to the planet)
*how many potentially brilliant minds have been (and still are) WASTED in slavery and/or poverty (which ought to be collaborative team work with mutual respect between so-called "peasants" who build the land and need to be rewarded with wealth from it and "leader/s" who rule), and wars?


*[[mw:Extension:ImageMap|Extension:ImageMap]]
'''Wouldn't it just be awesome''' that instead of going to war - governments and armies from every country would drop their weapons, disarm, leave the f~#@!%* armies, and transform all expertise, time, energy and resources in creating weapons of mass death and destruction and hellish poverty into:
*space technology,
*particle physics facilities,
*renewable energy sources,
since these
*require the very limits of people's minds and talents collaborating to create the finest cutting-edge technology, so people are challenged, work hard, gain tremendous experience and satisfaction and results in the process,
*encourage, interest and demand new future generations of professionals in all areas (not just science/technology/engineering but business, finance, econometrics, computing, media, education...), hopefully less crooked yobbos on the streets,
*are peaceful, although inevitably stressful times and disagreements/conflicts will arise; that is a million times better than going to war by compromising there and then, and the excitement of probing into outer spacetime and developing new technologies should assist removal of violent/criminal attitudes,
*are generally beneficial for our knowledge, planet, and civilization...

Astonishing that this has yet to actually happen globally - maybe never, maybe when we're on the edge of annihilation...

This account is not named after the place Maschen in Germany, Harburg: it was coincidence to combine "Machine" into a "name-like" term.

Background

[edit]

Generally, I like logic, symmetry, duality, and self-similarity underlying fundamental principles of any form of knowledge, and like randomness, chaos, irregularity and non-linearity because nature isn't "perfect" and regular.
