Do you believe?
gtaank - yes i have studied it a great deal.
in fact, the theory is sound and mathematically rigorous. it is self checking and provable algebraically using computer software for theoretical physicists such as maple.
we have moved on to build machines that operate with the intention of exploiting the new insights of the mathematics. hey, this is what engineers do afterall.
the machines work as expected. we have made some amazing discoveries.
you read about about nikola tesla and his search to extract energy from the very wheel work of nature. did you know he succeeded? in 1895 no less. he went on to do other amazing things with this technology, and indeed in one embodiement he took the invention and split it up into several key ingredient pieces. then he gave each world government the piece. useless on its own.. but if world governments ever worked together in peace then they could share their knowledge and put together the one invention.
unfortunately that day is far away.
in the mean time, the busy bees among us work hard every day to make the reality of tesla's genius available for free to all people of the earth.
the internet is the binding tool that makes this possible. which is why i say the internet can be used for tremendous bad and good.
back to the math.. go look at carniegee mellon university. they offer free download j.c. maxwell's original treatise on electrical theory. here you find his mathematical equations that describe electromagnetic field theory based on his EXPERIMENTAL OBSERVATIONS .. his equations are 20 equations, NOT FOUR! it is written in quaternion mathematics not vector calculus.
this is a good starting point. you must realize that quaternion calculus is useful because that form of mathematics when appiled to electric field theory because it allows open and dissipative systems. but on the other hand, the math itself is inconsistent and not rigerously proven (i.e. it is too abstract). so you take the essense of the quaternion math and the original equations and reformulate them based on GEOMETRIC math, i.e. curvature and torsion of space-time, and you can come up with the maxwell equations AND OTHER equations... this time based on a rigerously proven mathematics.
now you can play with these other equations..
ps. nothing i or others in the research group is secret. it is all open source and available publically. perhaps a particular application is proprietary (hey, gotta make a living some how) but the method is free to all.
