A New Theory of Everything That Sets Scalars Equal To Tensors Looks Like Nonsense.

If your theory of everything has tensors set equal to scalars then it is wrong. Simply put...

In spite of not having any where near as much physics education some people feel a need to prove they know more than I do.  These people are never physicist themselves, they have nothing to prove.  Usually they are someone with little education and/or self esteem.
For example my last blog entry "Dark Matter and Dark Energy as Undiscovered Particles of Scalar and Vector Fields.".
In which I am describing quantum field theory in curved space-time.  There are no matrices being used here yet.  I get this hostility laden response. 
Dark matter, dark energy and scalar tensor vector theories of gravity are widely thought of as at odds.  I have shown that if the scalar and vector fields common to alternative gravities are considered as any other quantum fields on a curved space time the consequence is the creation of particles and matter which need not couple into the electromagnetic force.  In short if there are "extra" fundamental forces of nature then there will be "extra" dark matter particles related to those forces. 
Autogynephilia: The love of one's self as a woman.  As used by psychologist and sexologist Ray Blanchard autogynephilia is a male's sexual attraction to the idea or image of their feminized self. 
This first video is where I explain Hilbert Space Tensor Products. I explained Hilbert spaces and operators in a previous video. The sound is not stellar so turn up the volume to the max, and you should be able to hear it.


This is the last in my series of video's on Quantum Theory. This is where I discuss quantum entanglement in a non mathematical way.


The series is now complete. The only subject I did not go into which I intended to go into was measurement. Measurement in quantum theory is basically the application of a hermitian operator O to a state <n|

A few months ago I did a bit of thinking about gravity from a different angle.  I asked the question... How would the equations of classical General Relativity look if Planck Units were used.  Let me make it clear I am not not talking about the Planck Scale.. just the use of it's units at the classical scale.  Of course anywhere near Planck Scale Quantum effects dominate.  I have already written a book about that.  "Quantum Space-Time Dynamics"
