Dear Prof. emeritus Dr. Jogesh Pati:

I have just re-read the two emails to you (27 February 2024 and 3 May 2023) and laughed at myself and presumptuousness. Here you are having to use the term “after the big bang”

Second email: 27 February 2024 

Dear Prof. emeritus Dr. Jogesh Pati:

Last year in a note to you, I introduced our work with base-2 notation from the Planck scale to the largest scale. If Planck Time is taken as the starting notation, there are just 202 notations to the current time.

You are just ten years older than me; and back when we started our project in December 2011, we struggled to know within which base-2 notation the Pati Preons might go. Of course, nobody had ever actually measured one, so we placed the preon within Notation 46. I think most of the hypothetical particles will end up between Notation 40-and-60 based on symmetries and harmonics.

You are a most-distinguished and respected scholar. Is this effort of ours just wishful thinking or might the JWST’s observations of a smooth beginning and well-developed galaxies within 300 million years be a possible door to a paradigm shift (like the one we are suggesting)?

Thank you.

Warmest regards,

Bruce

P.S. Yes, we have a page about your work here: https://81018.com/pati/

Thanks again for all that you do. -BEC

Dear Prof. Dr. Jogesh Pati:

Congratulations on a life of research and joy and discovery.  You are a role model. And, I have been told by many, that we are never too old to learn something new. My latest challenge is here: https://81018.com/most-simple/

In 2011 we began our study of hypothetical particles. Even at that time, we assumed that they were hypothetical because they were below the domains for measurement somewhere between the Planck scale and the CERN scale. We found the Planck scale by following Zeno in a walk deeper and deeper inside a tetrahedron and its octahedron. From our classroom models, it was about 45 steps to quantum fluctuations and 67 steps down to Max Planck’s laboratory which we considered excellent “intellectual beachfront property.”

We were high school teachers and 80+ students having fun.

We were creating our own STEM tool!

To turn around, we used the Planck Length and Planck Time as our measuring standards and we were back in the classroom in 112 steps (base-2 notations) and at the current size of the universe and current time (the Now) in a total of 202 notations. When we tried to find anything to include on the first 67 notations, we found your preons. 

Pati Preons is on line 46 of our original map of the universe from December 2011!  That is located at URL:  https://81018.com/big-board/. See the left column, toward the bottom.

Today, we are even more speculative. We are trying to inculcate Wheeler’s quote about simplicity: https://81018.com/most-simple/. I hope you have a bit of time to think about a “wholly-other” paradigm.

It’s original but is it crazy, too?  Thank you.

Warmly,

Bruce
