We’ve measured waves directly. Interference, diffraction, continuous fields, but never a particle. Detector clicks are localized wave effects, not evidence of billiard balls. Particles are inferred from waves, not observed. Waves are primary.
@Vadergroyper@AF_Deplorables I agree it is wishful thinking. Europe is cooked. It’s even wishful thinking that the US can decouple from the FED, (IMF, BIS, WTO, which enforces the monetary monopoly globally) The money power has a vested interest in perpetuating debt based currency, but alternatives do exist!
@Vadergroyper@AF_Deplorables I do not know the perfect path. I just know the arithmetic bothers me. Debt based money seems to require more debt indefinitely. That looks unsustainable on paper.
@Vadergroyper@AF_Deplorables Thats a good point. A unilateral switch could risk dollar dominance. That’s what Gaddafi tried with the gold dinar and Saddam Hussein tried with selling oil in euros. We may eventually have to change anyway. The question is whether we wait for collapse or plan the transition.
@Vadergroyper@AF_Deplorables Fair point. The current system has flexibility because it can always create more debt, but that comes with endless debt buildup. Debt free methods remove the escape hatch and the need for it. If you don’t see the trade offs as worth it, that's fair. We just weigh risk differently
@Vadergroyper@AF_Deplorables Debt free money would remove that artificial driver. Growth would slow in nominal terms. But real growth in productivity and innovation would not necessarily slow. It might even accelerate because resources would no longer be wasted on debt service and financial speculation.
@Vadergroyper@AF_Deplorables The Chicago Plan and 100% Money proposals from Fisher, Simons, and Soddy laid out exactly how. You are asking a question that has been answered for over a century.
@Vadergroyper@AF_Deplorables New money should enter the economy debt free through public infrastructure spending, citizen dividends, or direct government investment. That is not speculation. The Lincoln greenbacks worked. The Kennedy silver certificates worked.
@Vadergroyper@AF_Deplorables That is not a policy choice. It is balance sheet arithmetic. And yes, fractional reserve gold has the same flaw because it is still money created as debt. The problem is not fiat versus gold. The problem is creating money as interest bearing debt at all.
@Vadergroyper@AF_Deplorables You’re confusing income with new money. Income only transfers existing money. It does not create the additional money needed to pay interest. In a debt based system, total debt always exceeds the money supply by the accumulated interest. That gap can only be closed with new debt.
@Vadergroyper@AF_Deplorables "Evil" can be debated, but fiat is created as debt with interest. The principal is created; the interest is not. Therefore the system mathematically requires perpetual, exponential new debt to service old debt. It traps future generations into debt service.
In Cl1,3 the ether is the grade-0 scalar field φ: omnipresent, algebraically necessary, and non-removable. It couples directly to all other grades and serves as the fundamental substrate from which potentials, fields, and mass arise.
Physicists today don’t think clearly, it has become a prestige discipline. It’s truly a tragedy. They spend their time wandering off equation through equation, developing frameworks that don’t correspond to physical reality.
The Aharonov‑Bohm effect proves that Heaviside‑Maxwell EM is incomplete. Potentials are physically real even when E and B vanish and the holonomy explanation is a philosophical dodge that rebrands the anomaly without resolving the missing degrees of freedom.
In quaternionic form or (Cl1,3), the scalar grade φ appears naturally alongside the vector potential, not as a gauge artifact, but as an independent degree of freedom that standard complex EM hides by convention. This is still unsettled physics.
The Higgs field is an ad hoc insertion. A finely-tuned complex doublet with no geometric origin. In Cl(1,3), the scalar degree of freedom is already present, but it can be gauged away, leaving nothing physical behind. The Higgs is just a fix for a missing geometric structure.
Pauli matrices are just quaternions with a less intuitive geometric structure. A brilliant but clumsy complex rebranding of a cleaner quaternionic reality.
Quaternions: i² = j² = k² = ijk = −1
Pauli: (−iσ₁)² = (−iσ₂)² = (−iσ₃)² = (−iσ₁)(−iσ₂)(−iσ₃) = −I
