Dr. John G. Williamson is a guest on the Demystify Science Podcast.
He is a well-known researcher and author whose work on particle physics, nano electronics, and on the physical foundations of atomic phenomena has been cited nearly 14,000 times. During his time at the advanced theoretical and experimental group at Philips Research, Williamson was part of the project that designed the first solid-state single electron device, and was able to take measurements of electrons in the quantum state. and discovered that they were enormous; in certain conditions, they were tens of nanometers across. This discovery, combined with his skepticism over particle physics that he acquired during his time at CERN, set him off on a new quest: to be the first person to truly understand the nature of the electron. With his Philips colleague Martin van der Mark, Williamson started the Quantum Bi-Cycle Society, which explores the physical foundation for atomic phenomena and hopes to settle, once and for all, the mysterious nature of the atom. We talk to him about the architectural principles necessary to satisfy the equations of quantum mechanics, serious problems with the quark model, the relationship between spin and charge, and why the definition of time is not the same thing as the nature of time.

When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Michael Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he’s not in the film studio, he’s exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities. – Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog – RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rss – Donate: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaD – Swag: https://bit.ly/2PXdC2y
Q&A following Vivian Robinson’s presentation on Universal Particle Structure.
In the presentation, Dr. Vivian Robinson summarized his approach to subatomic particles, based upon the rotating photon model of matter. It unifies electromagnetism with the fundamental structure of matter particles, Einstein’s special relativity corrections, the de Broglie wavelength, the origin of charge, elementary particles, the strong nuclear force and nuclear structure, atoms, and the origin of some of their chemical properties. It uses only three space dimensions and one time dimension.

What The Universe Is Made Of — John G. Williamson and Arnie Benn, Quantum Bicycle Society
Dr. John G. Williamson and Arnie Benn are core members of the Quantum Bicycle Society, a collaborative group scientists who aims to build better models for everything from quantum mechanics to the cosmos. Williamson began the project with his colleague Dr. Martin van der Mark after a disillusioning stint at CERN, where he was confronted by the massive discrepancies between experimental results and the predictions of quantum chromodynamics. We talk the nature of the electron, the ur-stuff from which everything is made, misconceptions about the proton, alternative explanations for cosmic microwave background radiation, and more.

This is the Q&A and discussion following the talk by Arnie Benn, featuring John G. Williamson, Vivian Robinson, Garnet Ord, Lyndon Ashmore, Innes Anderson-Morrison, Jarek Duda, and Chantal Roth.
Topics discussed include quantu mechanics, relativity, electron superposition, and the spin tri-vector potential.
The Physics of Sub-Quantum Spin: https://quicycle.com/video/qv0112-arnie-benn-the-physics-of-sub-quantum-spin/
Building upon the foundation of John Williamson’s Sub-Quantum Mechanics and Absolute Relativity Theory, the talk delved into the concept of quantum spin, identifying the 3 specific components of the electron’s internal spin. These components were then leveraged in order to clarify the topological difference between ‘spin-up’ and ‘spin-down’ electrons, the physical spin-mediated mechanisms underlying electron bonding, the Pauli Exclusion ‘Principle’ and Hund’s 2nd Rule, as well as deriving the magnetic field from the spin tri-vector potential. The physical, spin-mediated mechanism involved in matter-antimatter annihilation was also explored.

This presentation offers answers to the following questions about electrons, charge, quantization, and spin:
1. What is the sub-structure of the electron? 2. What is the origin of its monopole charge? 3. What are the precise components of electron quantum spin? 4. What is the topological difference between a spin-up electron and a spin-down electron? 5. By what mechanism do electrons pair so eagerly despite having like charges? 6. What physics causes electrons to pair with opposite spins by ‘Pauli Exclude’ with like spins? 7. What is the physics of Hund’s 2nd Rule favoring like-spin electron resonances in orbitals? 8. What might the mechanism of matter-antimatter annihilation be? 9. What mathematics encompasses this ‘Sub-Quantum Mechanics’?

This is the Q&A and Discussion following John G. Williamson presentation on a fully relativistic, sub-quantum mechanical theory — Absolute Relativity Theory. It allows for a deeper and more fundamental understanding of matter, energy, charge, quantization, and their fully relativistic interactions. The quaternion-like Clifford-Dirac algebra underpinning this theory describes a construct which, it is claimed, offers a solution to Hilbert’s 6th Problem — defining a coherent construct that encompasses all known physical process, and thereby, describes reality more accurately.

A new relativistic quantum mechanics has been developed that extends the realm of applicability of both Maxwell electromagnetism and relativistic quantum mechanics. The quantum world should be at least “complex”, as opposed to merely “real”. A proper basis of non-commutative relativistic space-time, the Space Time Algebra, championed by David Hestenes, contains both the complex algebra and the quaternion algebra as sub-algebras. Identifying two symmetric non-commuting 4-spaces within this, space-time and inverse space-time, allows an understanding of the nature of inter-action, as described by our recent paper (van der Mark, M.B.;. Williamson, J.G. Relativistic Inversion,. Invariance and Inter-Action. Symmetry June 2021, 13, 1117). From these basis spaces can be derived a further 4 dynamical degrees of freedom, describing current, electric field, magnetic field and quantum spin respectively. These, together, describe the real 3-D space of experiment and experience. With the exception of quantum spin-space, these spaces are very familiar to any physicists, as current, electric field and magnetic field. In particular crystal structure is largely defined by relationships in electric field space, a space with three and only three components. Thinking in spin-space (and the related magnetic field space), however, leads to new insights in physics, chemistry and collective phenomena in the solid state. These will be explored briefly with reference to relativistic wave-functions for light and matter and with examples in atomic and molecular chemistry, the fractional quantum hall fluid, and (high temperature) superconductivity.
