I was about to discuss the third of three concepts, but thought a look back would be appropriate at this time. In my earlier post <\/a>I had shown that the photon\/particle wave function could not be part of the photon\/particle as this would violate the empirical Lorentz-Fitzgerald transformations and therefore, Einstein\u2019s Special Theory of Relativity. The wave function is only the photon\/particle\u2019s disturbance of the spacetime it is in, and therefore explains why photons\/particles have wave properties. They don\u2019t. They disturb spacetime like a pebble dropped into a pond. The pond\u2019s ripples are not the pebble.<\/p>\n

In the recent findings, Dr. Alberto Peruzzo, University of Bristol (UK) the lead author of the paper<\/a> and quoting \u201cThe measurement apparatus detected strong nonlocality, which certified that the photon behaved simultaneously as a wave and a particle in our experiment, \u2026 This represents a strong refutation of models in which the photon is either a wave or a particle.\u201d This is a very important finding and another step in the progress of science towards a better understanding of our Universe.<\/p>\n

Those of you who have been following my blog posts will recognize that this is empirical validation using single structure test<\/a> that shows that both wave and particle properties occur together. What is required next, to be empirically rigorous, is to either confirm or deny that this wave function is a spacetime disturbance. For that we require a dual structure test<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If this wave function is a spacetime disturbance, then Einstein\u2019s Special Theory of Relativity is upheld, and we would require a major rethink of quantum physics or the physics of elementary particles. If this wave function is a not spacetime disturbance but part of the particle structure, then there is an empirical exception to the Lorentz-Fitzgerald transformation and we would require a rethink of Einstein\u2019s Special Theory of Relativity.<\/p>\n

Here is a proposal for a dual structure test<\/a> (to test two alternative hypotheses) which probably only an organization like CERN could execute. Is it possible to disturb spacetime in a manner as to exhibit the properties of a known particle but has no mass? That is the underlying elementary particle is not present. I suppose other research institutions could attempt this, too. If successful \u2026 it will be a bigger discovery that Dr. Alberto Peruzzo and his team<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My money is on Lorentz-Fitzgerald and Einstein being correct, and I infer that the physics community of quantum and string theorist would not be happy at the possibility of this dual structure test.<\/p>\n

So I ask, in the spirit of the Kline Directive, can we as a community of physicists and engineers come together, to explore what others have not, to seek what others will not, to change what others dare not, to make interstellar travel a reality within our lifetimes?<\/p>\n
