Wolfhart Willimczik

This is your syllogism.There is no contradiction whatsoever. To end this “muju” there is my proposal: There is my definition again: Any physical process - basically ready to start - will be halted as long as more than one of exact equal and choose able values of a parameter for the process exist. I have a clear definition everybody can work with. Now show yours that everybody on this planet can make itself a comparison.

thanks for the information

yes, somewhere else, but always publicly Now this is anyway derailed and too late.

Moderators Note: If you have a problem with a moderator note, please use the Report Post function rather than taking the discussion off-topic. This is a public forum – or? Everything is public. Admins can not take the privilege of an exception and work secretly like a secret service. Even the police must work publicly. Everything else would be certainly against a democratic society and probably also against the constitution of the free country you live in. Ergo: Everything you have to say you should do it openly - there in the forum. Everybody can read everything! If there is any rule against it, it is time to change the rule.

there was no reaction of my first report... I accept "mumbo jumbo" now as a acceptable scientific term. And I also wait now of the answer of my question: What is it now – nonsense or to complicated for this reader? I told you twice you are right. I would include your idea, but I don't want steal it. You should publish it by yourself.

In the German culture it is a clear insult. Even his "question" is an insult! I had the hope for a serious discussion. But okay, I found just a definition: mumbo jumbo: speech or writing that is nonsense or very complicated and cannot be understood What is it now – nonsense or to complicated for this reader?

John Cuthber stated: "I think he was using irony to illustrate the fact that you don't seem to have read what he has written. Perhaps you should since it actually explains the metastable states without needing any new mumbo jumbo explanation." I am not used to it that my work is called "mumbo jumbo" without any explanation. In my age I don’t take such defamation any more. It is an éclat ant violation of the rules.

I had ones a student in the test - he could not answer any question, but I was forced to let him though – by political reasons. He was from Egypt and became minister for science! In this way there are today some people with a false Diploma in Physics. (We are off topic!)

He is not my student. I have other ones.

If you have the answer - why asking?

If even yourself don’t know what you have given, how shell somebody else know it?

you wrote. "Atomic metastable states happen because energy is no the only conserved quantity involved in a transition. Systems "want" to be in the lowest energy state, but electrons in atoms get there by undergoing transitions that typically involve the electromagnetic interaction — the release of a photon. " I hope you know what your writing means.

You just introduced it by writing ....that typically involve the electromagnetic interaction....

if one speaks of the devil… The man with the pistol said: "Atomic metastable states happen because energy is no the only conserved quantity involved in a transition. Systems "want" to be in the lowest energy state, but electrons in atoms get there by undergoing transitions that typically involve the electromagnetic interaction — the release of a photon. " But great - you found a second possibility to gave the electron a direction: an electromagnetic field. Congratulation The man with the pistol said: “There's some truth to this, in a crude sense. Space is isotropic, so there's a symmetry, and there will be no preferred direction. But that's true for normal states as well, that readily decay — not just for metastable states." Perhaps you are right again and my new law is right for “normal states” also. I have to think about it.

Thank you for the flowers. It seems you are the first one understanding my thought. Therefore, congratulation to you! - If the vodka martini drinking man with the pistol will allow it. -

Now is established there are metastable states. What will end them? What happens during these metastable states: nothing, except that the gas atoms moving around and hit each other. Measurements show the more hits the shorter the metastable state. (There are gently hits only, because the temperature is low.) Such a collision between atoms is the main suspect – actually the only suspect ending a metastable state, if at least one of the atoms have an electron in an exited state. Some suggest the excited electron needs more energy to get out of the metastable state. But why would the electron need more energy in a state with already too much energy to get out of it? (There is no answer – or do you have one? Please post it) In addition the right solution must be applicable to all metastable states. Believing on causality in nature (not in humans) everything – ergo also the exited electron must follow strict physical laws. In other words it can’t go out of it’s metastable state simply by “chance”. There must be a reason. The solution needs a fundamental new idea. It is well known that any physical process can’t go on if there is an obstacle. (You can’ even go on reading this, if your device lost its electrical power etc.) But can nature go on if there are different, but exact equivalent ways? Obviously not, because there would be a conscious decision necessary to choose one. Since an electron can’t think it has simply to wait until there are no more several equivalent ways in front of it. It waits practical of something, what we call “information”. The excited electron wants to emit a photon, but – as long the atom is alone – any direction in space is exact equal (I call it free parameter). It waits until one direction is different. This happens for instance if another atom hits this atom with the excited electron, because it must come from one specific direction. It can never com from all direction simultaneously. Now the electron has not to make any decision by itself anymore and send a photon on its way. We humans react sometimes in a similar way. On a closed door we have to stop. If we standing before several equal open doors (without numbers etc) we stop also, because we don’t know which door to choose. But we can think to solve this problem – nature not. Or somebody else walks in and goes to a specific door - we simply follow him etc. Your computer is able to print any letter, but you have to show him/it which one. (In the future, if he prints out his own words, he thinks.) Now – start thinking about these new law in physics.

Nice to see that you are still interested. If somebody had an answer of my last questions we would be already on the way. It seems I have to give the answer by myself. The critics has been right that after only few ns (nanoseconds) the chamber is emptied from free electrons by an electrical field – for instance of 300V/cm. If there are microseconds after the alpha particle new free electrons must have been generated somehow. Only metastable states can do it – for instance in the following way: If there are electrons from a gas atom in a metastable state the emitting of the photon is delayed. Some of these delayed photons will hit other gas atoms near by and free again electrons under the right condition. Each of these new electrons generate a bright point if the high voltage spike is released – (the lightning strikes). One can actually count them – what I did. Pic: page 44 shows the greater the delay the fewer free electrons are available and the fewer light points are there for the trace. There are less light points as longer the delay is (time between the alpha particle and voltage spike), what is logical. It is firstly the same function as for the radioactive decay, but at longer delays (more than 5us) there are almost the same numbers. This is remarkable. It is expected that this curve gets to zero, but it stays in the same level and runs almost parallel to the abscissa. How is this possible? Pic: these measurements on page 45 show the connection between N - the numbers of light points per cm trace and T - the time delay of the high voltage spike in microseconds. Now we coming to the point: I could make pictures from traces even after a longer delay. This is proof that it is only possible by metastable states, as described above. (Other ideas?) In the “modern physic” there is no connection between processes within an atom and the thermal movement of them by low temperature – or is there? This is the next question. After some further research and testing I found only one solution for this phenomenon: Only a hit between atoms in my spark chamber will end a metastable state. But why? Now we are that close to the end of this way that you may go the last steps alone if you have read my article.

Be patient, we go slowly step for step that everybody know what is going on. Firstly there is a new spark chamber for low energy particles, that low that they are unable to penetrate any thin wall called “selbststeuernde Gasentladungsspurenkammer mit innerer Lichtverstärkung” (I don’t know the translation – perhaps: “self adjusting spark chamber with inner light amplification” ) Pic: the spark chamber The inner parts of the windows are made electrically conductive. A Wilson fog chamber can only show many traces from alpha particles simultaneously – never a single one. This chamber must be triggered by outside sensors. Then the chamber is ready by a fast expansion of water vapor, what runs in a metastable state… My spark chamber is always ready. That means every time a single particle is flying though the chamber a picture from the trace can be obtained automatically. Traces from strong ionizing alpha particles and cosmic particles as well. Pic: This is the setup An extremely weak radioactive Po/Be material is in the chamber releasing one single particle any few seconds. This particle generates such a small lightning or flash light that even the most sensitive SEV (Sekundärelektronenvervielfacher – photo multiplier or electron multiplier tube EMT…) can’t see it. That means the point in time to release the high voltage spark to see the trace is missing. The trick to overcome this problem is a “inner light amplification”. Besides a few photons generates an alpha particle a lot of free electrons. These electrons get now (by supplying a certain voltage between the two windows) accelerated in the electrical field and excite other electrons in other atoms, which generate new photons. Under the right conditions these light can be seen by the SEV or EMT, Which will trigger the high voltage spark to see the trace. Pic; You see how the guilty person did it Most physicists – actually all – said it will never work, because the free electrons are all long sucked up by the constant electrical field if the spark is released and nothing can be seen… Why do you thing it works against all odds? And why could I obtain such well defined traces like these one? Pic: traces from single alpha particles

This picture shows the track from a single alpha particle without delay of the spark. I can proudly say that I was the first successful physicist to obtain such a picture. More tomorrow.

I found some material in my garage and scanned it for you, but I can't find any button for the upload. In "help" is nothing. I waisted so much time...It is frustrating. I can't believe that I have to post it first on the internet.

I am happy that I got such much text in English together. I found a clear correlation between the length (duration) of the metastable states and the number of hits in the gas; meaning the hits between atoms shorten the duration of the metastable states. I measured the length of the metastable states with a delay of the spark and counting the numbers of points in the trace etc... I changed the number of hits of the gas atoms by changing the pressure and temperature, but this is not all… The data are many pages and not easy understandable. How many physicist are there? I don’t know that this will “fly” in this forum, because a man with a pistol gave me already a warning, only because I warned before Wikipedia, which I tested and found out it is a source of false scientific statements made by anonymous people with or without any education. This man with the pistol has also something against Einstein, what shows that he is not a physicist… I say listen better to people like Einstein. It takes a long time – sometimes 50 or even 100 years - to see he was right. Everybody can easily prove me wrong by showing only 1 sample of metastable state without the presence of a free parameter. Then it can go in the trash. (I explained what I understand under "free parameter".)

1. non 2. no I made only experiments shoing that my theory is right. But you are free to prove otherwise.

Bill Angel, sorry, but this is not food, but poison. I waist no time on this any more. In wikipedia making soccer players etc antiscience. I have it tested and can only say: Stay away from Wikipedia! Wolfhart

Theory for cause of metastable state - Establishing causality in nature again - Wolfhart Willimczik 2106 72nd St W, Bradenton, Florida 34209 E-mail : Wolfhart@tampabay.rr.com Abstract : Searching for the cause of the existence of metastable states the author offers a first hypothesis: Nature will not start any process basically ready to start, but with several exact equal ways to go until one way distinguishes itself from all others by a noticeable value. An electron in an exited state, what has basically the freedom to choose any direction and any time of emitting light, will not do it by "chance", but only if a specific time and direction is given; for instance by a collision with another atom coming from a certain direction by thermal movement in a gas. Keywords : Metastability; Causality; Probability; chance; Einstein; new law of physics; spark chamber; light emission; decay, excited electron; radioactive decay; boiling water; PACS No. : 03.65.-w, 33.90.+h, 34.10.+x, 13.15.+g, 13.20.-v 1. Introduction Since about 100 years lingers the question of causality in nature over the physical society: Is there always a reason if something happens in nature or may something happen simply by chance as claimed at the radioactive decay? No solutions reported in the literature can be found. This is the first attempt to solve this problem establishing causality in nature again as Einstein demanded this. 2. The problem About 100 years ago several physicists - including Albert Einstein - created the Quantum mechanic. But nobody could explain why a single exited electron emit light just this time and just in a specific direction. Calculations are only exact for a great number of atoms. The term "probability" was introduced by dropping causality. Einstein had a problem with it, because it is unthinkable that something happens in nature without any reason. Einstein believed an Electron has no own will to decide when to emit a light quanta and in what direction. "The thing about causality plagues me very much, " Einstein wrote Max Born in 1920. [1] Einstein was not ready abandoning continuity and causality in nature. Niels Bohr was also against Einstein’s opinion and countered to him, “ abandoning strict causality was the only way open." Einstein lamented, "but if all this is true then it means the end of physics." [2] In spite of all the progress in physics this problem has not been solved in the last 100 years. I think the leap from: "We are unable to determine or to calculate when a single atom will emit a photon and in what direction" to the conclusion: "This happens only by chance" is wrong. Our lack of knowledge about a possible reason for a phenomenon is never a proof that there is non. Instead of saying it happens by chance we have to say "We don't know yet." Ergo - we have to search for a reason: According to the law an exited electron must give up the surplus energy by emitting light and falling back in the stable orbit of lower energy. But observations show it will often not happen in time. Single atoms left alone in quasi empty space have often very long durations of metastable states. They live without any influence from the outside. The reason is unknown. This phenomenon is called "metastable state". If we would know the reason for the existence of metastable states we would be able to determine why a single electron emits light in a specific time and direction namely in the moment of discontinuation of the reason for the metastable state. We would find the reason while light is emitted just in this time and in this specific direction. 3. Observation of metastable state and light emission I observed metastable states in the lab in a special spark chamber with inner light amplification. I observed that the metastable state ended always, if the atom hit another one by the thermal movement in the gas. (The number of collisions can be manipulated by temperature and pressure of the gas.) It seems an exited electron waited of a signal from another atom to emit light, but why? The electrons of a gas has been exited by a low energy alpha particle. The light of the electrons has been amplified by an inner light amplification and the emitted light was measured by an SEV (secondary electron amplifier). This signal triggered high voltage sparks between both transparent walls of the chamber along the light and ionization sources and a picture of the track of a single alpha particle could be made. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show such pictures. The difference between them is a time delay of 600 ns. (While most physicist smash particles with highest energy possible this experiment is on the other end of this scale – to obtain a picture of a track from a single lowest energetic particle possible. The problem is they are unable to penetrate an even very thin wall of any counter. The source of alpha radiation must be put directly in the spark chamber and a special trigger mechanism must be found. A detailed description is in: http://www.wolfhartindustries.com/band1/kernphys.htm This picture of Fig. 2 is taken a "long time" after the alpha particle flew across the chamber. (600 ns are a long time for the atomic time scale and nothing should be found from a passing particle 600 ns before.) Nevertheless there are some light emissions indicating the track of the alpha particle even better. It seems some atoms remember where the track of the alpha particle has been, which can only be explained with the existence of metastabile states. There was a clear connection between the duration of the metastable states and the frequency of occurrence of collisions between the atoms in the chamber. The less the pressure in the chamber, the less the collisions between the atoms, the longer the metastable states exist. The big question is: Why are the electrons not able to emit light right away? A possible answer: they have an entirely free parameter, the direction of emitting light and they are not able to decide by itself in what direction they should emit. They have not a free will, as Einstein said. Only if the specific atom gets hit by another one from a certain direction the electrons are free from making a decision by itself and is able to emit the light with the now given information from the outside. It seems nature is waiting of an information which way to go, if there are a number of exact homogeneous ways to go in time and space (for instance the direction in space). 4. Formulating a new law in physics With this knowledge a new law in physics can be postulated. Metastable state (Old definition): A metastable state defines a halted process which according to our knowledge should start. (An electron remains longer in an exited state as expected.) New definition: Any physical process basically ready to start will be halted as long as more than one of exact equal chose able parameters in time and space of the process exist. As soon as any singular parameter distinguishes himself from all others the process will start with these input (information) from the outside. (Nature has no free will to decide which way to go between total equal ways. Nature is waiting of information. “God doesn’t play dice” as Einstein said.) 5. Test of this new hypothesis: If this is right it should be true not only in the quantum mechanic, but in the entire nature. And there will be also practical applications, for instance a possible avoidance of devastating tornados etc. (Einstein would be happy for these opportunity to establish causality in nature again.) 5.1 Water: Cocking clean water in a clean container in labs lead sometimes to an metastable state, that overheated water will not boil, because any point on the bottom has the same chance to create the first steam bubble. There is no singularity. This is a free choose able parameter for the first bubble. Chemist solve this problem simply by putting a small stone on the bottom. Now exist a singularity - a point on the bottom, what distinguishes itself from all other spots. An explosive boiling is prevented. It seems also the more the normal boiling is delayed the more explosive is the ending of the metastable state. The more extended the delay the higher the difference in the temperature over the normal boiling point of water, the more urgency exists for ending the metastable state and the smaller differences in the parameters may trigger the delayed process. The greater the delay, the more energy is suddenly released, the greater the water explosion, but In the laser technique this effect is desirable. On the other end very clean water can also exist below the freezing temperature, what is also a metastable state. The free parameter is the location, where the first crystal will occur. Throwing in a small stone defines a certain value of the free parameter and the crystallization begins and goes fast. Normally are there impurities which do the same. 5.1.1. Tensile strength of water: A water column in a vertical pipe has a certain tensile strength like rope, but only if the water is extremely clean.(absolute clean water in the atomic scale is very expensive to make.) Any contamination defines a breaking point along the column. A very small phenomenon can trigger a big one. Could a string be strengthened only by making it very evenly - down to the size of atoms? A string with carbon tubes may show it in the future. 5.1.2. Condensation: If the humidity in clear air gets over a certain point (dew point) it should condensate as water or fog, but some times nothing happens. A high flying airplane starts the process of condensation with particles in the exhaust and we see the well known stripes in the sky. The free parameter of a metastable state was the exact location of condensation, where the water droplet shell be created. Every particle defines such a point. Every droplet has a particle in it. 5.2 Inversion: A similar effect exist in the air called inversion: Cold air is moving over warm air and the warm air is not rising and the cold air is not falling down respectively. But it should, because cold air is denser, but any vertical wind is missing. The free parameter in this metastable condition is again the location if there is not a single mountain peak. (In a mountain area there was never a tornado, or does somebody has data?) The warm air simply don't start upwards in a flat landscape, because there is no location distinguishing itself from all others and - like the case of the boiling water - it ends up in a delayed, but violent event called tornado. The greater the delay the greater the destructive power of a tornado. Should this theory be right there is a chance to avoid destructive tornados by punching vertical holes in the lower warm air layer earlier in an inversion with it the warm air has a chance to rise up or/and the cold air find a way to go down. On the end there is the warm air over the cold one and no big tornados any more. To pull the plug on an inversion a vertical stream must be established - up or down. To start at certain points strong vertical winds is a technical challenge, but not impossible. High rising stacks, which are open on the bottoms, on the right places could already help. A driven windmill inside the stack could perhaps already trigger the stream. Later a steady stream of air could also generate electricity as a byproduct. If it works there are probably still great numbers of these stacks needed, to cover a great country and it doesn’t look good. Mobile units with bundles of the greatest turbines available could also be tried to start an vertical wind in the right places. If this itself generates tornados they will be smaller in an early state of an inversion and not in rural areas. In Tornados the air goes generally upwards, but it could also tried out the other direction. Several strong helicopters stacked over each other though the entire warm air layer could perhaps generate a stream of cold air down to the earths surface. After a while this stream should go on alone and enlarge itself. With warm air going up and cold air going down - and on the end - destructive tornados should be avoided. 5.3 Avalanche: There may be more metastable states in our daily live. For instance snow on a slope may under certain condition run in a metastable state that it is getting that loose it should run downwards, but nothing happens. Than a small outside event as a sound wave (bang) may trigger the avalanche. A very small event is able to trigger a large event, if there has been a metastable state involved. 5.4 Radioactive decay: Radioactive decay seems to work without any influence from the outside. It will be perhaps the center of the debate, because we don't know yet the reason why a nucleus emits nucleons or/and radiation just this time and just in a specific direction. Some nucleus can be - as electrons - in an exited state - and perhaps also in a metastable state. Then there is the same problem: direction in space are not predetermined, but total free - and a nucleus has no free will to choose a direction in space as long every direction is equal. The micro-Brownian molecular movement (no plasma) has no influence to the nucleus of an atom, but hard radiation, cosmic rays, neutrinos and high energetic particle could react with the nucleus to determine time and direction of the decay. According to this new law radioactive decay needs outside help. In an absolute empty space without any radiation and without any particles like neutrinos radioactive decay should stop. Experiments must decide about this theory. (The recently discovery of a certain dependency of the radioactive decay from the distance from the sun seems to support this theory.) 6. Conclusions Nature is unable to choose between equal ways and is waiting of an information input. Nature has not a free will or as Einstein said: "God doesn't play dice." Causality is established again. 7. Perspective Metastable states will likely be found everywhere if nature is waiting of the necessary information which way to go, ergo not only in physics, but also in chemistry and perhaps even in electronics, societies etc. it seems that the ending of a metastable state is often violent and even more so if the release of a metastable state is more delayed. What about the most violent processes in the cosmos? Are some of them the result of a metastable state? The most violent event was the big bang. Was before the big bang some sort of metastable state? There must have been a priori some exact equal parameters for a free choosing. References [1] W. Isaacson, ISBN-13: 978-0-7432-6473-0, page 324, 2007 [2] N. Bohr, Schilpp, page 205-206,1920 [3] A. Z.

Mike, About your question I have to think about it... I tried to publish my findings, because with the downfall of the DDR there are also many scientific findings disappeared. This is a great loss for mankind and nobody takes care of this dilemma. I am on the end of my live and my website will with me also disappear. Because I am in the US now I have there no credentials, affiliations etc and nobody want publish anything from me. Does anybody know a way to publish it? I want only that my work get not lost. I think it has value. http://wolfhartindus....com/metast.htm
