The Magnetism and Electricity of Evolution toward the Moon

The Magnetism and Electricity of Evolution toward the Moon.

The speed of light and the action quantum are far more fundamental and necessary to the peace and stability of the world than are the existing magnitudes of the Henry and the Farad. Both the Henry and the Farad were arbitrarily assigned quantities. They have a relation to the speed of light through an equation in which they appear as a product, but any value could have been assigned to the Henry, as long as the Farad were changed proportionally. Conversely, any value could have been assigned to the Farad, as long as the Henry were changed accordingly.

The conventional but overly specific equation for the speed of light is

v = 1/SQRT(mu*epsilon)

The numerical value of mu was derived from existing knowledge on the basis of the arbitrary magnetic field constant, the Henry. It was found that the electric field constant derived from the Faraday had the relationship shown to the speed of light. As a result, the electric field constant was given a value which would make not only that equation correct, but would justify the value of the Faraday in relation to the Henry. That was obscure enough to establish a claim that the Henry and Faraday are absolutely fundamental. They are not. Any other set of experiments could have been used to construct a measure of magnetic field strength similar in dimension to the dimensions of the Henry, and if it resulted in a different numerical value, an appropriate value could have been assigned to the electric field constant so that the equation would predict the speed of light correctly.

The motion of light is in a space-time topology in which two dimensions are present along with a velocity dimension. This is sometimes called SU(2) X U(1). Dimensions which are equivalently fundamental include those of distance and time. The units humans choose are not the units on which the universe is based, however. The universe is based, in dimensions of length, on certain sizes of things which are mostly atoms and particular wavelengths. It is also based on such things as the magnitudes of electric charges, the masses of atoms, and magnetic constants such as the Bohr magneton.

These are sometimes called fundamental or atomic constants of nature. Arranging atomic constants as fundamentals accessible to all nations is vital. This is the kind of change in our thinking for which Albert Einstein called. The most obvious way of doing this is through the manufacture of popular goods, commonly called consumer goods, which manifestly display atomic constants and are available worldwide. To a great extent this is taking place already, in the manufacture and distribution of such goods as cameras, computers, radios, televisions and telephones.

What must not be forgotten, and the instinctive nature of the human species becomes familiar with these widely available goods, is that they are not merely salable objects manufactured for capitalist profits. Profit is a measure of the success of the selling, and to be sure it is sometimes, even often, abused. But of particular goods being sold, many are essentials for human existence, and many are manifest representations of principles new in the evolution of life on Earth. They must be taken as solutions for peace, and not mistaken as causa bella. To do this brings one more obligation, that of ensuring their assimilation is gauged, its relation to international peace is understood, and appropriate responses to changes in the market include products which are, literally, in the correct place for the next step in negotiating the difficult back-scaling from the conflicted times in the final stages of Earth's five thousand year history of constructed struggle to the Moon.

The Chinese people are currently dominant in the dielectric constant. Perhaps given or ceded to them after the magnetic storms of war that swept Europe in the last century, it is also because they were anciently familiar with the duality of the Yin and Yang, more deeply than Judaeo-Christian culture. Though they did not early on resolve the electric field constants, which do exist, it was easy for them to do so when the industrial revolution began and electricity and magnetism were resolved in common sense. Generally it appears masculine is equated with the dielectric and feminine is equated with the magnetic.

This is strong enough to be noticeable when working with delicate sticky issues such as transparent tape, paper, and clean surfaces. That is probably the origin of the phrase "red tape". To a person familiar with red tape, it is easy, but most of the business world is not and so such issues seriously impede business and other negotiations.

This would be nothing more than a static issue except that the historical resolution of the electric and magnetic field constants was set in 17th and 18th century English and European traditions in which the first thing that took place was the creation of arbitrary standard units for magnetic and electric fields. Principles such as those in physics were at that time named after persons who could be equated with monarchs, princes or theological figures. As a result, a magnetic field constant was named the Henry, and an electric field constant was named the Farad, after Michael Faraday. The Henry of course was equated with several Kings Henry, notoriously Henry VIII who set a large number of things that could not be distinguished from eternal in motion. Faraday's name Michael was at least equitable with the Archangel Michael. I know of that well as my name is Michael. We are not tough politicians and tend to be equated with mica, glass, paper, plastic film and such things.

The real problem is that the implementation of these constants into the real industrial world and urban infrastructures was immediate even though they were chosen with arbitrary magnitudes long before the magnitudes of the speed of light and the action quantum were discovered. Those two latter constants are reshaping physics every day in a process of change that could span 500 or a thousand years if the arbitrary disposition is not nipped in the bud. The reason of course is that the constants were named in England and France and were quickly used as bedrock and pillars of colonialist foreign policy. They were also used to divide East and West along the European midnight, which was constructed as the Prime Meridian. Subsequently, Europe and Russia to the East was put literally in irons and to the West, eventually the Americas, the United States in particular, was put to acting as a kind of Great Meridian engaging in wars on both western and eastern fronts itself.

Examination of empirical results in manufactures in the common domain reveal that the arbitrary magnitudes of the Henry and Farad resulted in the manufacture of very large magnetic devices and very small dielectric or capacitive devices. For a long time motors, transformers and generators were very large, and set on power line poles like the magnetism in the body of Christ. Capacitive devices were almost unknown until the manufacture of synthetic fabrics and plastic films, and then improved rapidly into sophisticated devices such as transistors and digital memory chips. Their future is vast. Capacitor transformers have appeared as large capacitors became possible, and magnetic devices have become smaller. All this change is since the discovery of the two constants c and h, the speed of light and the action quantum. Those two constants are truly vintage research, as the study of the motion of light and the nature of action began thousands of years ago. It was fortuitous, and in part tragic, that the path to the Moon stumbled at the imposition of arbitrary magnitudes for magnetic and electric fields in the Henry and Faraday.

Research reviewing the development of physics during the last four centuries, premised on the speed of light and the action quantum as most fundamental principles, will reveal vast quantities of desirable and feasible change that will provide far more agreeable global terms in which the nations of the world can get along.
