In a Minkowski diagram velocity is an angle between the axis of time and 
the path of something.

Light cones have the angle of 45°, which stands for c.

I compare the Minkowski diagram with an Argand diagram, since I assume, 
that nature behaves on a fundamental level similar to complex numbers.

The axis of time is the real axis (the Argand diagram is turned by 90°) 
and the hyperplane of the present is the imaginary axis. The hyperplane 
has actually three imaginary dimensions (i, j, k)

The light-cone is than  the cone in the direction, where imaginary space 
units and real time units add in similar proportions.

This is also kind of asymptote, hence the direction, where the 
interrelations reach far into space. This we call 'light'.

But anything could be called light, if we turn the axis of time into 
another direction.

Matter could also be interpreted as 'wrapped up light', if we lay the 
axis of time upon the light cone and move the hyperplane of the present 
together with the former light beam.

In this case the former observer appears to be light ('unwrapped light').

This is a little counter-intuitive, but seems to be, how nature 
functions and means, that what is light for one observer could be a 
material object for another.

IOW: matter is 'relative'.

'Relative' means: depending on the specific point of view of an 
arbitrary observer.

Since observers are material objects, they introduce their own axis of 
stability as axis of time. Usually they claim, this is the only time 
possible, since it is the only time possible for them.

But relativity says, this is not the case and timelines pointing into 
spatial directions are in fact also possible.

The light-cone is also, what we see, hence denotes the physical realm we 
call 'universe'.

So also the universe is 'relative' and to any timeline belongs its own 
universe.

This is quite an unusual concept, but would follow from the same idea.

So: light is a subset of all possible interconnections between separated 
entities, which fulfil certain criteria.

These criteria are:
- is massless
- moves with c
- along the light cone


These criteria are 'relative' and create the subset of all the possible 
influences we call 'light'. And that light moves with c.

The 'aether' on which SR is based does not exist. End of story.

I would agree, if 'aether' is something like 'thin, invisible something, 
which fills all space'.

I have a slightly different idea: I use a 'relativistic aether', which I 
call 'spacetime'.

So spacetime is something and the stuff we know and call 'material 
objects' are timelike stable structures within this 'aether'.

The unstable structures we call 'radiation'.

Since stability is 'relative and depends on the position and velocity of 
an observer in respect to this something, this something can be 
radiation (e.g. light) in one FoR and matter in another.

That is a gross oversimplification of whatever point you are trying to make.

I think your 'aether' is actually made of 'radiation'....and its density 
varies widely. Fields are 'aether'.

Well, maybe..

But it was not the question, if my idea is silly, but whether or not 
nature functions on a fundamental level according to these principles.

I personally assume, that my idea is correct.

Reason: it provides a possible mechanism for a variety of observations.

I only need very few assumptions, like e.g. 'points have features'.

If I assume, that points might be not just coordinates, but have the 
intrinsic ability to have a feature, then we have a different solution 
for the question, what causes fields.

If we assume, that GR is correct and spacetime is responsible for 
gravity, than how about other fields? And how about particles?

My assumption is, that spacetime can have internal structure and this is 
what we call 'matter' (or 'radiation').

These stable patterns emerge, since the (pointlike) elements of 
spacetime are interconnected. The connection is similar to how 
quaternions are multiplied.

This make structures stay stable along a certain axis, which we call 'time'.

Spacetime is not responsible for gravity. It doesn't tell us anything 
about gravity.

Spacetime does not exist. It s purely a mathematical concept.
Time is not related to space or matter in any way.

General relativity is assumed to be the best theory about gravity. So my 
opinion is, that if this is true, than I cannot make it better.

So I regard GR as valid and responsible for gravity. What I try to do, 
is finding a connection from GR to QM.

Since quantum mechanics is about particles and fields, I try to model 
particles on the same foundation as gravity.

I simply use the term 'spacetime' and borrow it from GR, but do not 
really deal with GR.

So it's not my plan to create something like 'quantum-gravity', but 
'relativistic particles'.

I mainly use the version of relativity developed by Herman Minkowski. So 
I have not even references to GR or to SRT.

And instead of tensors I want to use complex-four vectors.

But the rest of relativity I regard as mainly valid.

This is what you THINK.

But what I have presented is an assumption and about what I think is true.

You can try to disprove the concept, if you like, but not on the basis 
of your opinion, but by showing, that my idea contains errors or 
violates observations.

I show, for instance, that the particle concept contains errors, in 
showing, that 'Growing Earth' is in fact true.

Since if the Earth would grow and would gain mass from within, then 
matter cannot be composed from particles, because they cannot get inside 
the planet.

So you could also use the scientific method and show, where my idea has 
inconsistencies or violates observations. Only you cannot base this on 
you own opinion or what other scientists believe to be true, but on 
observations of natural phenomena.

Yes, I know what you are doing. So do a lot of people.
What you are doing is trying to lay out a sketch of ideas that seem 
interesting to you. You want to make them seem relevant to physics and 
so you ascribe your ideas to a popular problem, unifying gravity and 
quantum mechanics. But your ideas don't really use any of the concepts 
of relativity or quantum mechanics with any faithfulness, so instead you 
"borrow" words like spacetime and "complex-four vectors" but you don't 
mean by those words what they mean to physicists. Instead, you give them 
your own internal meaning and piece them together so that what you say 
sounds vaguely like physics but is something else entirely. In the 
vernacular, this is known as tossing a word salad.

Not quite ...

Actually I'm not obliged to use concepts, which I try to disprove, 
because I think they are wrong.

And I disagree with certain fundamental assumptions of QM, hence cannot 
use usual QM methods.

Instead I try to show, that particles are 'relative' (like space and time).

One of the main axioms of QM is that of one single axis of time.
Since GR would allow multiple timelines, this axiom cannot be kept.

What I try to do is replicate the same ideas on the foundation of a few 
simple principles.

So I have different axioms and base my concept on those.

E.g. I assume that GR is (mainly) valid and that particles are 'relative'.

I borrowed from QM the concept of operators and assume, that the idea of 
particles actually stems from the fact, that certain structures could be 
explained, if you regard an operator as a 'thing', which would create a 
certain pattern. The patterns are real, but the operator is just  a 
method and not real.

But more or less I think, that QM is wrong and particles do not really 
exist.

The photoelectric effect I would interpret in the framework of my own 
concept. So photons and electrons are the same thing, only belonging to 
a different FoR.

Hence blocking of light would generate charge (in a conductive surface).

Actually I tried to unify General Relativity and QM.

Gravity is regarded as a problem, which is already solved in the 
framework of GR.

My method was somehow like this:
try to find similarities between GR and QM.

I found one in the bra/ket formalism to a quaternion formula, which 
describes a rotation.

The similarity is certainly not that obvious, but was, nevertheless, the 
point, from which I have started.

The formula is this:

v' = q' * v * q^-1


So I tried to generate something like particles with 'quaternion 
rotation'.

This is in fact possible, if you assume, that the 'elements of 
spacetime' behave like quaternions and are connected to their neighbours 
similar to how quaternions are multiplied.

This also a unusual concept, even if there are a few 'quaternion fans'.

Since quaternions have some disadvantages, I tried to find something 
similar, but without such disadvantages. This I found in the papers of 
Jonathan Scott about complex four-vectors.

This was somehow my framework and my book is based on such assumptions.

( here, btw:

https://docs.google.com/present/view?id=dd8jz2tx_3gfzvqgd6  )

Sooo...

  After all I was kind of pleased with my work. But actually nobody else.

The result surprised my a little bit, since other theories are also not 
quite finished.

Your post shows how abysmally-stupid you are.  I suggest that you get out
of the insult game, which you aren't very good at, and try to learn some
REAL physics instead of the delusional nonsense you try to peddle.  Had
any takers yet?  I didn't think so.  Even Seto isn't buying.

why you bluster so much.

Actually I know a lot.

But - as a matter of fact - everybody is incompetent, at least in 
certain realms.

For instance I have not managed juggle, even if I have tried that.

But I can build boomerangs and through them, that they return to me.

So you have skills in certain realms and incompetence in others.

Now it is pointless to insist on competence in realms, where an 
individual possesses none. It is better to demand competence in those 
realms, where a person has some or claims to have.

The economy of a certain system for production of electric energy does 
not really fall into the realm of physics.

Sure, we would like to create machines, which are also a economic 
success. But prices of things depend too much on human decisions, hence 
are not a subject of sciences like physics.

Whether or not solar panels are a good investment depends on the price 
of these panels, their output of electricity and competition in the 
market of electricity.

Physicist usually are not concerned with attributes like prices, since 
what something costs on some market is not a question, that scientists 
decide.

The Chinese have made the decision, that they want to produce lots of 
cheap solar panels and therefore panels get cheaper.

Since Dubai has really a lot of sunshine, the investment in solar panels 
could eventually be profitable.

But there are other possibilities, which also would solve the 
water-problem. E.g. they could build a water-pipelines to somewhere, 
where is enough water.

Or they could hire ships (or build own) which transport water around the 
globe.

There are even more possibilities and which one they chose is not a 
scientific question.

Geology is not changing in a few hundred years.

The proper grid for geological developments is one million years.

A year for Earth is equivalent to a blink of the eye for us. Even a 
thousand years is a rather short span.

Define 'knowledge'.

I tell about what I think is true. If you do not agree, this is your 
right, as it is mine to disagree with what you regard as true.

Truth is not a democratic decision and even tradition or multitudes of 
supporters does not render a statement valid.

There is only one scale and that is nature itself, upon what a certain 
idea is measured.

And if I say, that 'Growing Earth' is true, this is what I think is true.

If this statement matches an aspect of the real world, this is true, 
whether or not people agree.

I say, that plate tectonics is wrong in the point called 'subduction' 
and in the assumption of the constant size.

You disagree and assume, the Earth had always the same size.

These are now two distinct statements, from which one is correct while 
the other is not.

You would apparently bet on 'steady state Earth' and I would bet on 
'Growing Earth'.

And I believe, that I would win.

Actually I did not want to study geology, but was locking for an counter 
example to the standard model of QM.

I wanted to prove, that atoms are not composed from distinct entities 
called 'particles' (as the standard model assumes), but are 'one thing'.

I wanted to prove this, since I wanted to prove, that matter is 'relative'.

So matter could be created out of nothing and 'Growing Earth' would 
prove this possibility - if proven.

So I spent my time in trying to prove 'Growing Earth'. It was actually a 
lot of time and now I'm among the experts in this field.

Certainly I'm not an expert in geology and do neither claim to be or 
actually want to become, since my aim was to prove a certain statement 
from the realm of theoretical physics.

You may be aware that the carnage has in fact been worse several times 
in the last 2000 years. And so far, the world has not ended during that 
time. So are you thinking that humanity is going to perish sometime the 
next decade, or in the next 11-100 years, or in the next 101-2000 years?
