Dear Prof. Dr. Chandra Prescod-Weinstein:
We assume so much. We adopt the work of our mentors and it all gets comfortable. But, when do we know our basic assumptions are basic enough? What if by overlooking constants and infinity and the nature of space and time, we do assume too much? Might the Planck base units influence our understanding of the first moments of spacetime? Might within our understanding of isotropy and homogeneity we miss its roots causes? Might we assume that simple natural geometries are fully grasped? …that we understand the natural gaps, that 7.356° angular deficit, when five tetrahedrons OR five octahedrons share a common edge?
In 1979, after returning from a visit with CERN’s John Bell, I was invited to the home of Viki Weisskopf to debrief. He was the chairman of MIT’s Physics Department and had been the fifth Director-General of CERN. Also, the organizing founder, Lew Kowarski, Boston University helped to facilitate. It all laid the foundations for today’s alt-theory: https://81018.com/hyper-rational/ and the related files: https://81018.com/qualitative-expansion/

I suspect you might have some time within these summer months to comment. I would love to hear from you. Thank you.
Most sincerely,
Bruce
P.S. I have included you in my first “Who will lead us?” campaign which will be seen by students, docs, post docs and professors around the world. Each of the six people selected represent a distinctive search into the fundamentals. And, as a reminder, our page about your work within our website is: https://81018.com/prescod/ -BEC

Some didn’t like the lack of formatting in that article on Feb 7 (I sent the link on Feb 9). Very similar, but with a positive attitude and a more classic format: https://81018.com/reformat/. Thanks. –BEC

RE: Is Alan Guth’s inflation standing strong in front of the JWST images?
Dear Prof. Dr. Chandra Prescod-Weinstein:
My first email, 18 December 2023, referred to the 202 base-2 notations that encapsulate the universe. Though it is simple math, we are a long way away from grasping exponential notation. In the PBS-TV series, Genius (2016), Stephen Hawking is quick to affirm that the universe is expanding exponentially, yet he never did that simple math: https://81018.com/chart/ It actually checks out rather well, yet not quite how he expected.
I have done my introductory analysis of it here: https://81018.com/bbc/
Might I be able to interest you in taking that analysis further?
Thank you.
Warm regards,
Bruce

RE: Is Alan Guth’s inflation standing strong in front of the JWST images?
Dear Prof. Dr. Chandra Prescod-Weinstein:
I’d guess that hypothetical particles like the axion are hypothetical because they are not on anybody’s grid; yet, it seems there are grids everywhere if we’d stop to recognized and test each. The most-practical grid starts with the Planck base units (we could readily use today’s ISO equivalents), then we apply base-2 exponential notation. In about 65 notations, we would be emerging into the electroweak scale.
I would propose that those first 65 notations hold excellent possibilities for all hypothetical particles to be more deliberately and clearly defined.
Further, if the Planck base units are used, there are just 202 notations from Planck Time to the current time. The first second is with Notation-143, the first year within Notation-169, the first million years within Notation-189, and the first billion years within Notation-199. Alongside those expansive notations, we might consider the nature of the first particle. Brown University professor Phil Davis suggested an infinitesimal sphere. I suspect the inflaton and instanton* are nearby!
In that we seem to be going in circles, perhaps it is time to study the nature of circles and their spheres!
Thank you for all that you do to make this world a more interesting and diverse place.
Warmly,
Bruce
