Re: Fractal formula of ALPHA

Think of everything as organisms ( literally) just operating in
different ( dramatically ) time, mass and space scales. It should fix
things although there is a lot of basic mathematics missing.

I do not want to sound too metaphysical, but we

do not count as ancient people did
we do not count in the same way as Nature uses numbers

so out theories get damn difficult when we try to approximate reality
using different counting system ( or is it set?)

Nature does not know what is continuous; I think continuous math +
looking for analitical expressions killed most important part of
science- science of change and growth.

on other hand, there is hope that solution is relatively simple.

With that said what are the "modern" issues in physics not covered in
the Standard theory:
1) dark matter and dark energy
2) inflationary theory
3) the vacuum
4) non-local effects
5) second order uncertainty ( sort of the van der Waal equation of
uncertainty)
6) tunneling effects
7) speeds faster than the speed of light

Another new thing is the Bose-Einstein condensate state of matter,
but that was one of the predictions of the standard theory.

Physics today is very much like New World paleoanthropology for the last
60 years and the Clovis first theory of the
bridge from Siberia during the ice age. So many bad things have been done to
shore up the failing theory that even proponents of the theory have
begun to hate each other?
The standard theory is dead wood just waiting for the last straw to have
it crumble before our eyes
like Newtonian theory did before it.
In the mean time we have every new fresh effort being called
"pathelogical science"
or crank or crack pot. When they began to attack Stephen Wolfram in that
vain,
it became very plain something was dreadfully wrong with science in the
modern world.
Philosophically it has become more a "cult" of theories than an
observational / testing science.

If we restrict our argument to science as observation and laws induced
from those observations:
Topological / mathematical argument that the universe has Integer
dimensions.
1) the universe by definition is a space filling manifold.
2) all known space filling curves have Integer dimension.
3) the matter observed ( using light/ radio waves/ neutrinos)
in the universe has a Cantor dust structure with a Levy Flight
distribution ( as observed by Dr. Mandelbrot in several of his papers).
4) any theory covering the whole universe has to be able to generate
the observed universe,
so it has to be a space filling theory and thus, have Integer dimension.

Everyone is familiar with sine and cosine having a period of 2*Pi.
What Weyl gauge constants are is sort of like the "field periods"
of harmonic group generated functions:
it is only a crude analogy...

So while it is possible to think of individual particles as fractal
sets of the whole universe,
it is probably not wise to try to say the whole universe has fractal
dimension.
It is also important to observe that the constant alpha has a
structure related to a fivefold symmetry
and to Fibonacci-Pisot like sequences. That's why SU(5) was used as
the gauge group.
A five dimensional universe is usually thought of as
either:
three space and two times
or
three spaces , one time and one field Kaluza-Klein dimension.
Other theories do exist... with higher dimensions.
