Benjamin Franklin, American Genius

 

This is the basic physics discovery of Ben Franklin’s oil calming the
turbulent waters presented in this book for the first time. Here is how
I also smooth Hal Puthoff's choppy electromagnetic zero point waves into
emergent gravity.

 

A Letter from Benjamin Franklin to William Brownrigg, 1773

 

"Dear Sir: I thank you for the remarks of your learned friend at
Carlisle. I had, when a youth, read and smiled at Pliny's account of a
practice among the seamen of his time, to still the waves in a storm by
pouring oil into the sea; which he mentions as well as the use made of
oil by the divers; but the stilling a tempest by throwing vinegar into
the air had escaped me. I think with your friend that it has been of
late too much the mode to slight the learning of the ancients. The
learned, too, are apt to slight too much the knowledge of the vulgar.
The cooling by evaporation was long an instance of the latter. The art
of smoothing the waves by oil is an instance of both.

 

Perhaps you may not dislike to have an account of all I have heard, and
learnt, and done in this way. Take it if you please as follows:"

Furthermore, the issue of the “flow of time”, i.e. “Arrow of Time” is
not found directly in the formalism of space-time that is a “block
universe”. One must look elsewhere to the boundary conditions at the Big
Bang to explain why the irreversibility of the Second Law of
Thermodynamics points the same way as the expanding 3D space of our
local Hubble horizoned universe. Roger Penrose deals with this problem
extensively, e.g. his online lecture “Fashion, Faith and Fantasy”

In my theory, the low initial entropy of the early post-inflationary
universe is explained by the collapse of the volume of phase space of
the pre-inflationary unstable globally flat false vacuum in the
formation of the vacuum condensate of primarily bound virtual
electron-positron pairs glued together by virtual photon exchange in the
battle-tested non-perturbative background-independent BCS manner. The
false vacuum prior to inflation may itself emerge from a spin foam, but
one without emergent gravity that only comes after the formation of the
vacuum condensate whose phase variations give Einstein’s metric field.
There is no inertia without gravity and that is why the pre-inflationary
globally flat false vacuum has only off-mass-shell massless
charges. When the vacuum coherence vanishes inside a vortex core, for
example, you do not get a “nonlinear graviton” (Roger Penrose) quantum
gravity foam in my model. Therefore, you should not see any quantum
gravity foam fluctuations in high energy gamma rays from way back in
time if my model is correct. Einstein’s metric field is a smooth
c-number ODLRO field from the vacuum coherence. Trying to quantize the
metric field top-down is redundant as it is an emergent bottom-up “More
is different” macro-quantum phenomenon. There is no such thing as
“classical space-time”. What we have is “macro-quantum space-time.”
However, just as a superfluid has “normal fluid” you can do perturbation
theory with a spin 2 quantum field on the smooth curved space-time
background ODLRO metric field. When the vacuum coherence vanishes you
then get the “linear graviton” spin 2 quantum tensor field on the flat
Minkowski background.
