About 25 years ago I studied electrical engineering at university. I'd played with electricity, electronics, amateur radio for a long time as a child and thought I had a reasonable understanding of SOME things. Did pretty well - even Diff Eqs.
Then came Electromagnetic Fields I and II. Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ - I aced both semesters, could do the math, but I don't understand the essence of fields any better now on a fundamental level than I did when I started.
I had the same problem. I developed my Fields & Energy approach so that I would have an intuitive grasp of what otherwise quickly devolve into incomprehensible mathematical expressions.
You might interview Gerald Pollack. His newest book is Charged : The Unexpected Role of Electricity in the Workings of Nature, the previous was The Four Phases of Water.
Required reading to understand how the world works. He faces the same challenges described by Hans in getting it accepted, even though he is a Prof Bioengineering at https://bioe.uw.edu/portfolio-items/pollack/
I am extremely skeptical of pilot-wave and hidden-variable theories after an interstellar-scale Bell Inequality test came down on the side of nonlocal entanglement, winning a Nobel Prize for the work.
A much simpler explanation in my view is that in the language of computer science, entangled objects behave like multiple pointers to a single piece of quantum state, and so we should consider the speed of *entanglement* rather than the speed of light the true speed limit of the universe. The observed relativistic rapidity-vs.-velocity and time dilation effects would in Quantized Inertia terms be because fast moving objects interact with more stuff, thus experiencing more time. The apparently superluminal jets of matter in deep space may truly be.
All credit to the dedicated researchers and their ingenious experiments, but Bell's theorem has been debunked, rather thoroughly, numerous times. His original paper is quite readable, and it's not difficult at all to spot where he creates the straw man to argue against.
All Bell's inequality really proves is that triangle waves are not identical to sine waves.
I have always felt at an intuitive level that a lot of physics is nonsense...and it felt deliberate in some vague way. This has to all be related to Tesla and the suppression of his discoveries.
I certainly wasn´t shocked to see the Rockefeller´s involved....patterns.
Schantz as ever veeery careful about speculating and jawing. Which is a shame because I think if he unchained himself for a bit it would be tons of fun.
I'm looking forward to having the time to dig into his first book, Soon(tm). Hopefully won't have to brush up on too much math to keep up with it. Not that I mind exactly but it means taking longer to get to the meat of it.
The gist makes sense to me though. Pilot wave always did too. I guess I just don't have the sort of brain that delights in smugly accepting counterintuitive things.
John Carter got a bit frustrated at my reluctance to draw wild inferences about the implications of my results. What I'm proposing is radical enough without compounding upon it. There will be time enough for that later.
Interesting essay, I must admit that the bankster part interested me and had me sighing; are they involved in ruining everything?
But anyways fascinating stuff, really did like it. Between this and others such as the corruptive influence of Del Rey in Fantasy it is really starting to seem like the Establishment conspired against Fiction as much as it did against we the people.
Coupla comments - should we read Split Decision or Helluva first? My son loved the first three...
Re: Pilot waves. deBroglie late in life, in his final book, dialed in hard to this. Considered Copehagen Physics to be at best, incomplete.
Wolfgang Smith (RIP) in his final book, discussed so-called 'vertical' causality, to address some of these reality, locality, causality issues. Short book, pulls no punches.
"Many discoveries lie dormant for decades before finding application...."Please! See Kenneth Stanley's amazing Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned. It's directly on this point and the dynamics of knowledge over time. More need to be aware of it....
Regarding aether, permeability/permittivity, gravity, and EM, one must be aware of the Quantum Bicycle Society (Quicycle) work. There's simply too much to put in a comment, but any serious tracker of these issues must be aware of it. Quicycle has both top level theorists, and practical engineers. Right up HS's alley, IMHO.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll check out the Quantum Bicycle folks. A Hell of an Engineer is liable to be a long wait, so I suggest reading Split Decision.
I read https://a.co/d/ggl9Nxf. Cannot recommend video (but only b/c i have not seen it.)
The ideas are …. out there …. and may be neither useful nor to everyone’s liking.
But, to the extent that I feel physics is stuck in a box of its own making, I am at least willing to entertain occasional peeks outside the box. <shrug>.
Would be delighted if it ‘landed’ for you..and equally happy to hear thoughts you might have on it, should you decide to devote any time to it. (I can say it came to me by way of a certain @William M Briggs :-))
its the the same in life sciences: - The Biomedical Collapse: How Modern Medicine Became a System of Dependence and Darkness
Modern medicine has entered absurdity. What began as a noble effort to alleviate suffering has metastasized into a machinery of control, dependence, disguised helplessness, endless sickness, “unsuspected” death and alienation—a system that treats life as a malfunctioning mechanism rather than a living, self-regulating organism. The biomedical model, once a symbol of progress, now stands as a monument to reductionism, dualism, and the death of meaning in science, a tremendous threat to humanity. A foundation of war against humanity, an open door for repression and psychopathic structures. We’ve mistaken control for care. We’ve mistaken data for truth. And in doing so, we’ve built an insane system—one that abolishes the very profession it claims to protect.
Since I can't comment one bit on the physics (Quantum mechanics seems to me as the physics eq. to what pos-modernism is in the humanities), I'll drop a few questions:
What's the point of it?
Deductive, inductive, abductive - what's the point of modern-day physics at this level?
Earnestly asking, mind. Not being facetious. But:
To explain the point of something, using normal language, about how it affects and will come to affect (and not in a speculative way but based in certainty) the daily life of the normal human is kind of an important test.
Otherwise, what you tend to end up with in any field of science is the eq. of Wittgentstein's "Tractatus" where he himself in his afterword notes that the entire exercise was pointless and that most of it can safely be ignored.
About the Rockefeller-stuff: let's say there's some Omerta in physics at the top level in the USA. So what? Would that have in any way impacted Japanese, German, Chinese or Soviet research into "forbidden" areas? If proving or even arguing for some cabal of silence in science seems difficult. try to imagine arguing that the USA somehow could curb Soviet excursions into the forbidden areas.
Surely it is far more plausible that it is nothing more special than ordinary petty-mindedness over prestige, career, and status that affects the state of research and funding.
The point is simply to understand reality, or at least that aspect of it which is external to subjectivity. And from there, to use that understanding to do cool shit.
Public science is far more globalized than people think, so international influence can be exerted to a remarkable degree by controlling the journals. Foreign scientists want to be respectable to their colleagues abroad. National security science - think nuclear weapons for a canonical example - really did manage to lock up a lot of research behind walls of secrecy. You're right that there's nothing preventing other countries from pursuing their own programs, but this isn't necessarily so easy in practice.
I might argue that the point is also to explore the liminal space between subjectivity and objectivity, specifically to ascertain the limits of what can be understood as truly "objective". This bleeds into the study of consciousness, and of course I understand why people might shy away from opening that Pandora's Box. It entails some level of danger.
We do live in a shared, objective reality, and that necessitates rules of engagement, both social (laws and institutions) and physical ("doing cool shit"). But in my experience (which is colored by woo and driven by my own biases and temperament) there is also cool shit to be done in the liminal space between the subjective and objective.
The fact that there is an aether, a stage on which plays out everything God has seen fit to endow humankind with the ability to apprehend, suggests many other hidden potentials "out there" available to men who choose to look in that direction; many of these potentials do require a coupling of mind to aetheric frequencies. I do also think that results can be replicated, although statistically it is difficult to pin down what replication means exactly in the context of intelligences on a scale of human complexity or higher. Let's just say that earnest coupling to a given frequency reliably and consistently purifies the mind along that frequency, and that the resulting "quantum states" (to use an analogy here) are evident all around us in the social field.
I think it's more plausible that people do things for reasons instead of those things just happening. Any number of reasons are proffered by the actors themselves. Some may be honest - others less so. Clearly there has been a significant effort to keep nuclear and other critical technologies under wrap, up to and including Israelis apparently assassinating Iranian scientists, so there are certainly transnational efforts to control science.
I'm not disputing there may be pressure from financiers/politicos, but that's a onstant in all research, in all civilisations and throughout all of time; the one who pays the piper picks the tune.
However:
The efforts to keep nuclear tech/science under wraps were a failure before the Almagordo expermients took off, simply because of the work it built on having been published, so that can be taken off the table.
The real reason there was an attempt to curb it was the fear of "the wrong nations" developing nuclear weapons, which is rather easy - even Sweden was about to do so in a project that wasn't shuttered until the late 1970s - as India demonstrated some 50 years ago.
Also, during the 1960s-1980s during the height of the debate on nuclear power the pro-side consisting of bankers, industrialists, politicians and the like were quite adamant that nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons had nothing to do with each other, which of course is a blatant lie, but that lie may very well have metastasised into a political reality (different from actual reality) where research into advanced/theoretical physics has come to be seen as too dangerous to the status quo of the financial-political system itself.
One need not be more than a layman-student of history to see that it is technology (and humble such at that) that causes upheaval and topples civilisations each and every time; sometimes the development of new tech, sometimes the attempt at stifling development/research/adoption and sometimes both. Just look at the iron-clad plow-head or the introduction of potatoes for some really basic examples.
How much more disruption could f.e. some kind of truly miraculous battery-tech cause, for those invested in things-as-they-are.
But: it is completely impluasible that the USA could have pressured its adversaries during the Cold War in the way suggested. After the Cold War, all best are off on that front as we have seen recently with the US/Chinese development of the Covid virus.
Reading this, I think that you might be rewarded by having a good look at Ampere’s theories. They’ve been mostly forgotten about but seems like the missing puzzle piece!
I find it difficult in all this to leave consciousness in a drawer. If it can be interpreted that an atom can be an antenna, then... what can we say about DNA? A powerful multiband antenna, perhaps?
If that is the case, why not think that consciousness is also a guiding field that interacts with other fields? That would partially resolve the observer and wave collapse issues...
Beyond me but it's not as weird as the theological debates about the nature of Jesus. You mostly have to go to history since the Trinitarians are so dominant in Christianity.

Love Pollack. Almost NEVER hear him mentioned. Crazy. Never heard of this book. Going to order it! Keep the faith, Tim!

I was just trying to lighten the mood ;)

What a great article. Appreciate you trying to make physics accessible to meatheads. Keep at it.
I'm very gratified that you enjoyed it.
I love The Hidden Truth series, didn't realize the author was an actual physicist. Very interesting read!

The two are not mutually excusive.

You were right Mr Carter; I did get filtered by the physics talk haha.
I've been down this road before.
So... Aristotelian aether is back..!
I find it difficult in all this to leave consciousness in a drawer. If it can be interpreted that an atom can be an antenna, then... what can we say about DNA? A powerful multiband antenna, perhaps?
