Can't sleep. Here's why. I read this article tonight about a new gravity wave detector. This passage in particular got me wound up.
"In general relativity, changes in mass at a location cause space and time to stretch and compress. Rather like sound waves, compressing space-time causes stretching in neighboring regions and vise versa. In this way, a moving distortion in space-time is created. We can detect these by measuring the response of a mass to the distortions in space-time."
The mention of changes in mass and location causing stretches in space time got me thinking of the wave particle duality of light.
So for those of you that have no idea what I'm talking about, here's some oversimplified layman's terms for you.
The Wave Particle Duality of Light
and here's a little primer on gravitational waves;
So you fire some electrons at the speed of light, and the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle states that you can know one of 2 things. You can know how fast they're going, or where they are, but not both.
You'll notice when they did the Wave Particle Duality of light experiments they were able to 'see' only one electron at the slits, but when they watched from afar they found the interference patterns.
I'm proposing that what's causing the wave phenomenon is a gravitational wave caused by electrons moving at near light speed. It doesn't appear in a single slit experiment because the electrons are caught in a gravitational 'slipstream' of sorts. It occurs in the dual slit experiment because the gravitational slipstream is split by the slits and collides with and upsets the time-space the electrons are passing through. This creates the interference patterns that are so recognizable as gravitational waves on a macro-cosmic scale, but so mysterious in the lab. That is all.
Watch the videos again, read everything you can on it, and you'll see it makes perfect sense. Unfortunately I don't have the math to back it up, but I guarantee you that somebody will 'discover' this in the next decade. Then you'll be able to tell them your crazy insomniac Rev. Dr. Andy knew this 10 years ago :)
