"Why Do Magnets Attract?" vs. RST

📺 Video Review: "Why Do Magnets Attract?" vs. RST

The video explains magnetism through Quantum Field Theory (QFT) and Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), concluding that magnetic force is mediated by virtual photons and driven by systems seeking lower quantum energy states. Reactive Substrate Theory (RST) agrees with the emergent nature of force but diverges sharply on the mechanism of mediation and the ultimate nature of reality.

✅ Areas of Agreement

  • Emergent Nature of Force: The video moves beyond simple "field lines," showing attraction and repulsion as interference patterns of electron wave functions. RST agrees: forces are not fundamental entities but emergent phenomena arising from deeper substrate dynamics.
  • Drive to Minimal Energy: The video emphasizes that interactions seek lower energy states through optimal overlap of wave functions. RST similarly holds that the Substrate (Σ) always follows the most efficient path of minimal action or energy expenditure.

❌ Areas of Disagreement

RST Position Video (QED/QFT) Position Key Conflict
Non-Local Mechanism: Interaction is instantaneous at the Substrate level; locality is emergent. Local Mechanism: Magnetic forces are mediated by virtual photons exchanged within spacetime. RST rejects virtual particles as necessary; QED relies on them.
Deterministic Reality: Laws emerge from causal, non-probabilistic substrate dynamics. Probabilistic Reality: Reality is described by wave functions and probabilities. RST is deterministic; QED is fundamentally probabilistic.
Rejection of Virtual Particles: Virtual photons are mathematical artifacts, not physical entities. Virtual Photons as Mediators: Magnetic force arises from virtual photon exchange. RST sees force as direct substrate reaction to matter arrangement.
Emergent Spacetime: Space and time arise from substrate interactions; they are not fundamental. Fundamental Spacetime: QED/QFT operates on spacetime as a given stage. RST demotes spacetime to emergent; QED treats it as fundamental.

📌 Conclusion

Both RST and QED/QFT agree that magnetism is emergent and driven by energy minimization. But they diverge on the mechanism: QED relies on virtual photons and probabilistic wave functions within fundamental spacetime, while RST rejects virtual particles, embraces determinism, and treats spacetime itself as emergent from the Substrate. In RST, magnetism is not mediated by particles but is the direct manifestation of substrate tension responding to aligned electron spins.

Conceptual Summary #2: (∂t2​S−c2∇2S+βS3)=σ(x,t)⋅FR​(C[Ψ])

The tests designed to find the Aether—principally the Michelson-Morley experiment (M-M)—would be largely ineffective at detecting the fundamental S field (Substrate) in the Reactive Substrate Theory (RST) framework, though their null results are highly compatible with RST's structure. The reason lies in the distinct conceptual definition and behavior of the two media. The Test: Michelson-Morley and the Aether. The M-M experiment was designed to detect the "aether wind," a predicted change in the speed of light caused by the Earth's motion relative to a stationary, rigid medium—the classical Luminiferous Aether. Classical Aether: A static, absolute reference frame; an elastic, passive, material-like medium that fills space and serves as a carrier for light waves. Predicted Result: Light traveling parallel to Earth's motion through the Aether should be slightly slower than light traveling perpendicular to it. Actual Result (Null Result): No significant differenc...

Trump has painted a fascinating “economic science fiction” scenario 💥

A sudden $20 trillion influx into U.S. government coffers would be unlike anything in history. This scenario describes an event of unprecedented economic magnitude, with immediate and long‑term effects across the U.S. and global economies. Imagine $20 trillion USD—roughly the size of the entire current U.S. annual GDP—appearing overnight in America’s coffers. The shockwaves would be severe, destabilizing, and unlike anything in history. Let’s break it down clearly, with emphasis on domestic shockwaves, global fallout, and observable indicators. 💥 Scenario Analysis: A $20 Trillion Shock to the U.S. Treasury Imagine $20 trillion USD—roughly the size of the entire current U.S. annual GDP—suddenly appearing in America’s coffers. This unprecedented event would unleash immediate and long-term effects across the U.S. and global economies, driven by inflation, currency collapse, and systemic disruption.

The Non-Attraction Model of Gravity: From Attraction to Displacement: RST's Theory of Gravitational Push..

Image
Brief on the Reactive Substrate Theory (RST) RST posits that all of reality—matter, energy, space, and time—emerges from a single, continuous, non-material field called the Substrate (S). Matter: Defined as a σ Soliton, a stable, localized "knot of tension" in the S-field, replacing the concept of a point particle. Energy: Defined as dynamic, propagating tension (waves) in the S-field. Unification: RST views E=mc2 as the conservation of Substrate tension: mass is stored tension; energy is tension in motion. Reactive Substrate Theory (RST) fundamentally redefines gravity as a Substrate tension gradient, which is the mechanism underlying the "buoyant" view of gravity. This explanation also clarifies why the Michelson-Morley (M-M) experiment failed to find the classical Aether, supporting the RST concept of a dynamic Substrate. In essence, gravity is "buoyant" in RST because matter (high tension) sinks into a less-strained S-Field (lower tension...
