cis-physics

Rant #1: Many years ago, say 1984, an undergraduate major gave me a large pin which said "The more you complain the longer God let's you live." I was 50 then so I guess she knew something about me. It would be a new experience to find somebody(ies) who would not only listen to my rants but actually react, maybe even rave. A little over ten years ago I retired from teaching physical chemistry where I had had a few notions I had never seen in the textbooks or elsewhere. Among them were (1)a temperature scale that ran to infinity at both ends and paralleled Celcius in the ambient range since absolute zero is a fiction, (2)a working model of a Carnot engine by making the cylinder itself move like another piston without artifically changing the heat sinks, (3) a representation of atomic orbitals that contain an imaginary exponential term so can't be physically represented directly (i.e. without fudging), and (4) some neat graphical interpretations of Schroedinger's equation and "del-squared" which I describe as a Darth Vaderish "source of the force." Since I retired I have pursued messing around with the latter two and obtained what I thought were observations good enough to be published as ideas in physics/math/cosomology. There lies a tale that can lead my rants out of science and into areas of life, such as rants on education, social and cultural and even religious discourse if the occasion arises. Maybe God will let me live long enough to file a rant for each of the 77 years I've lived.

Rabt #2: What is cis-Physics? As a chemist I couldn't help but note some of the common position prefixes that already apply to Physics. First ones that came to mind were ortho-, meta-, and para- used on the benzene ring. Clearly metaphysics is taken and para-(normal) physics such as telekineisis, etc. is also. Since ortho- as in orthodox would seem to apply to main stream physics, I looked further to levo- and dextro- for left and right-handedness but that smacks of politics. So I'm left with cis- (near) and trans- (across or far) and picked cis- to avoid being too far out. Most of what I hope to blog I've said elsewhere but at an (Ebony Dungeon) Webaddress so strung-out that it's a wonder those who have visited made it. Of the many different "pages" on my website, this points to the one that contains two "phenomenal" math properties on space and time that I haven't been able to find elsewhere. The document is two years old and some minor revisions will be noted in future blogs. Once there feel free to roam.
