He uses an ant attempting to navigate the surface of an apple as an example
of the ultimate outcome of General Relativity with the stem as matter and
the surface of the apple as the curved (but straight) geodesic. It's a
masterful analogy but will bend one's mind even without all the math.

WARNING: If one decides to purchase this wonderful mind-bending book and
expects to "digest" it, one better right off the bat on opening the cover
get used to a 4- dimensioned coordinate system used ONLY to locate and
describe an event. Further, coordinates generally do not measure distance
in curved space/time. Nor are events described by some far off "reference
plane". Thought you knew plane and solid geometry. Better think
twice......

FURTHER WARNING: It rapidly becomes far deeper than that.

Since we¡¯re having do much off-topic fun, I offer the following for you
history buffs:

So, Hertz begins his work on the first experiments 13 Nov 1886.

He finishes up his first experiment to meet the publishing deadline for
Wied Annalen on
25 March 1887.

Wied Annalen XXXI is published on 15 May 1887.

Oliver Lodge reads about it on the train to the British Association
Meeting in Bath 1888, all set to give a talk on lightning rods and rf
transmission and resonance and such, and hears Fitzgerald introduce the
topic at the meeting¡¯s inaugural address on September 6, 1888.

Lodge gets even more excited (excuse the pun) and puts forward a new paper
on Hertz'
work to the Physical Society of London May 11,1889, taking issue with
Hertz' calculations on capacitance, suggesting Hertz missed that there were
really (effectively) two 30 cm diameter spheres in series (P. 151), given
the potential of one sphere at +V
and the other at -V potential, and that the capacity would be 7.5 cm vs
Hertz' 15 cm
capacitance.

He also quibbles about Neumann's formula. Lodge concludes his addendum of
June (P.162) with a repeat of having caught Hertz' capacitance error, and
takes a shot at the French/German use of period T between nodes conflicting
with the English use of period T being one full cycle, and writes:

There is one point on which we find ourselves differing from Hertz...in
the application a 2 or a sqrt2 comes in wrongly in one or other of our
calculations....and it must be that it is owing to a different calculation
of the effective capacity concerned in an oscillator that the discrepancy
arises.

This discrepancy we by no means view lightly, and it is not without many
qualms that
we find ourselves differing, even about a 2, with a man so splendidly
careful in
his work as Hertz has shown himself.

Lodge (humbly or tongue in cheek) ends with:
It is more than probable that he [Hertz] is right after all, so we explain
here what will then
turn out to be our error in this note.

The Physical Society refers the article to Philosophical Magazine, and it
is published in
Vol XXXI on July 1889.

Various correspondence ensues between Fitzgerald and Hertz, and likely
Lodge and
Hertz over the next year.

Across the Channel, Poincare reads of the experiment, and on 15 August or
so 1890
(three years after the publication in Wied Annalen XXXI) writes to Hertz
that he
(Poincare) has written to the Academie des Sciences de Paris about the
experiment,
advising the Academie Hertz' having overlooked the series capacitance of
the two
spheres.

Poincare's paper is picked up Comptes Rendu Volume 111 August 1890 and
Archive des Science.

Hertz writes Poincare back 21 August 1890 with what must have been an
understatement:

L'erruer que vous avez decouverte est une veritable erreur assez
desagreable.

[The mistake you have discovered is a real mistake that is quite
unpleasant.]

Hertz adds that he'd been away for several weeks from his papers, but that
he had
already seen news about his calculation error written by Oliver Lodge
published
somewhere (maybe The Electrician or Nature), i.e., thanks Henri, already
have the bad
news, but thanks anyway.

Correspondence begins between the two that leads to discussion of the
Sarasin and de
La Rive verification in Geneva of Hertz' works in a larger lab, with the
beginnings of an
explanation of multiple resonances phenomena for which Hertz had no
immediate
solution.

Not to be scooped by Lodge, Poincare publishes in early 1891 his text
Electricite et
Optique II: Les Theories de Helmholtz et Les Experiences de Hertz, which
includes
lessons taught by Poincare during the second semester 1889-1890, noting
Hertz
overlooked the correct calculation for the system capacitance.

By the time the 1894 English translation and faithful reproduction of the
original Hertz
collection of the 1891 Collection of Wied Annalen articles is published
the English
edition (Jones) includes an Introduction from Hertz and Supplementary
Notes to the
original articles that, in 1894, addressees the capacitance error,
multiple resonances,
and various other challenges, as well as the positive outcome of the
Sarasin and de La
Rive experiments in Geneva.

Heaviside, in the meantime, on the basis that his ¡°new math¡± works,
becomes accepted.

Great stuff.

And how they communicated without texts and tweets and such, editing for
letters and the next publication of technical papers, that appeared without
links to or ads to the next wonder Balun or OCFD!!

Thought you might find this interesting.

Re: SWR vs. Resonance

 

Hi, just a question.

As I understand it, light waves and radio waves react with matter which might slow down their passing through the matter whereas gravitational waves can pass through matter almost unaffected. So is this a case of where matter matters and that in a perfect test environment the speed of all three might actually be equal?

Cheers,

Hoffy//

Most don¡¯t know this and its been heavily downplayed but the implications are specific.
We watched two stellar masses merge.
The gravity detection array vibrated from the merger several seconds before anything else on light or radio.
This puts gravity, even if must milliseconds, faster than light.

In my mind this establishes all forms of energy as being forms of gravity.

Everything, is little more than a vibration on the string that binds all matter.
The bigger question, what is that string made of. And if it's broken, does it damage the universe? Would a particle freed from the strings simply vanish, flying away from other? Would it travel back to the other dimensions of the universe?

We have also seen more than enough evidence to support that at the sub atomic level, matter freely interacts with other planes, or other dimensions be they mathematical or literal spaces.
Now for us studying RF this is very interesting because we know for certain that both matter and energy are not as absolute as we thought. We know that a laser for instance can penetrate a lead brick, without cutting a hole into the brick.

Subject: Re: [nanovna-users] SWR vs. Resonance

WARNING: OFF TOPIC

Take gravity. Einstein did an exquisite job of explaining the EFFECTS of gravity. That's all from the respect of the EFFECTS of gravity on propagation of EM waves (bending light, Einstein lensing, ....). However, conversely, I've never seen the mathematical treatment of the effect of propagating EM waves on gravity - just the opposite of what Mr. Einstein put on paper. Both should be true to observation and self closed. Nor do we have an "excuse" (explanation) of why with a propagating EM wave the electric and magnetic properties of that wave must be orthogonal (right angles).

Re: SWR vs. Resonance

 

Since we¡¯re having do much off-topic fun, I offer the following for you history buffs:

So, Hertz begins his work on the first experiments 13 Nov 1886.

He finishes up his first experiment to meet the publishing deadline for Wied Annalen on
25 March 1887.

Wied Annalen XXXI is published on 15 May 1887.

Oliver Lodge reads about it on the train to the British Association Meeting in Bath 1888, all set to give a talk on lightning rods and rf transmission and resonance and such, and hears Fitzgerald introduce the topic at the meeting¡¯s inaugural address on September 6, 1888.

Lodge gets even more excited (excuse the pun) and puts forward a new paper on Hertz'
work to the Physical Society of London May 11,1889, taking issue with Hertz' calculations on capacitance, suggesting Hertz missed that there were really (effectively) two 30 cm diameter spheres in series (P. 151), given the potential of one sphere at +V
and the other at -V potential, and that the capacity would be 7.5 cm vs Hertz' 15 cm
capacitance.

He also quibbles about Neumann's formula. Lodge concludes his addendum of June (P.162) with a repeat of having caught Hertz' capacitance error, and takes a shot at the French/German use of period T between nodes conflicting with the English use of period T being one full cycle, and writes:

There is one point on which we find ourselves differing from Hertz...in the application a 2 or a sqrt2 comes in wrongly in one or other of our
calculations....and it must be that it is owing to a different calculation of the effective capacity concerned in an oscillator that the discrepancy arises.

This discrepancy we by no means view lightly, and it is not without many qualms that
we find ourselves differing, even about a 2, with a man so splendidly careful in
his work as Hertz has shown himself.

Lodge (humbly or tongue in cheek) ends with:
It is more than probable that he [Hertz] is right after all, so we explain here what will then
turn out to be our error in this note.

The Physical Society refers the article to Philosophical Magazine, and it is published in
Vol XXXI on July 1889.

Various correspondence ensues between Fitzgerald and Hertz, and likely Lodge and
Hertz over the next year.

Across the Channel, Poincare reads of the experiment, and on 15 August or so 1890
(three years after the publication in Wied Annalen XXXI) writes to Hertz that he
(Poincare) has written to the Academie des Sciences de Paris about the experiment,
advising the Academie Hertz' having overlooked the series capacitance of the two
spheres.

Poincare's paper is picked up Comptes Rendu Volume 111 August 1890 and Archive des Science.

Hertz writes Poincare back 21 August 1890 with what must have been an
understatement:

L'erruer que vous avez decouverte est une veritable erreur assez desagreable.

[The mistake you have discovered is a real mistake that is quite unpleasant.]

Hertz adds that he'd been away for several weeks from his papers, but that he had
already seen news about his calculation error written by Oliver Lodge published
somewhere (maybe The Electrician or Nature), i.e., thanks Henri, already have the bad
news, but thanks anyway.

Correspondence begins between the two that leads to discussion of the Sarasin and de
La Rive verification in Geneva of Hertz' works in a larger lab, with the beginnings of an
explanation of multiple resonances phenomena for which Hertz had no immediate
solution.

Not to be scooped by Lodge, Poincare publishes in early 1891 his text Electricite et
Optique II: Les Theories de Helmholtz et Les Experiences de Hertz, which includes
lessons taught by Poincare during the second semester 1889-1890, noting Hertz
overlooked the correct calculation for the system capacitance.

By the time the 1894 English translation and faithful reproduction of the original Hertz
collection of the 1891 Collection of Wied Annalen articles is published the English
edition (Jones) includes an Introduction from Hertz and Supplementary Notes to the
original articles that, in 1894, addressees the capacitance error, multiple resonances,
and various other challenges, as well as the positive outcome of the Sarasin and de La
Rive experiments in Geneva.

Heaviside, in the meantime, on the basis that his ¡°new math¡± works, becomes accepted.

Great stuff.

And how they communicated without texts and tweets and such, editing for letters and the next publication of technical papers, that appeared without links to or ads to the next wonder Balun or OCFD!!

Thought you might find this interesting.

Re: SWR vs. Resonance

 

And not to mention the "velocity" of neutrinos. Not quite c but darn
close. Do they contain mass which would limit their velocity to something
< c. If not, why don't they travel at c?

Yes, deep space is dispersive. Do neutrinos also interact with a
dispersive medium?

Sure, all this is quite off topic, but terribly interesting. Dave D. one
of the other moderators of this group, and I used to have these
conversations when we worked together in Colorado. So, please forgive the
off-topic digressions.

Not Exactly. The EM Waves have been traveling though a Plasma.Yes, a
very thin Plasma, but a plasma never the less.
A Plasma is a Non-Linear-Transmission line. Meaning different wavelengths
travel though it a different speeds. One way for getting a good estimate
for the distance to a pulsar is how much ime\frequency spread there is in
the pulse.
I think we can safely say the light has been slowed down by passing though
a media.

Thin but there and been traveling for a LONG time. Kent

Re: SWR vs. Resonance; Heaviside

 

I'll just copy/paste from a DM from one of members on this forum. No attribution, not sure if they'd like me to "name names", but content is worth sharing :)

"...the Telegrapher's equation comes from Oliver Heaviside, a self taught mathematician. Is it called the Telegrapher's Equation because it was given to us by a telegrapher? Heaviside was a telegrapher (you know, sending telegrams on the wire) and he was curious to how the telegraph worked, and his work on submarine cables was formative."

Most people are not aware of the debt we owe to Oliver Heaviside (who died in poverty, by the way) and assume that the equations we know as Maxwell's were expressed in their current form by Maxwell. Not so.

For a very good read, check out "The Maxwellians", by Bruce J. Hunt.

Re: SWR vs. Resonance; Heaviside

 

Hi All,

Yes, Oliver Heaviside is another of our little known doyens of the electronics world. He was indeed a remarkable man.
Most of us would only know his name, let alone of his existence, if we are involved in amateur radio or radio physics through the naming of the "Heaviside layer" or "E layer" in the ionosphere.
I put Oliver Heaviside in the same category as Nicola Tesla as two of the most under rated contributors to our understanding of the science of electricity and RF propagation.

Just my 2c worth...

With the greatest respect, what Mr. Maxwell produced, so very early
