Two papers, one journal, 2011. The mathematical framework behind Quantum Relativity — publicly available and peer-reviewed.
Establishes the core mathematical framework of Quantum Relativity. Shows that time dilation, the invariance of the speed of light, E = mc², and relativistic mass increase all follow directly from the premise that particles are composed of circulating electromagnetic energy. The Lorentz factor is derived from the spiral path geometry without any assumption about the nature of spacetime.
The paper also addresses the relativity of simultaneity and length contraction, showing that these are correctly understood as observer effects — the consequence of motion physically altering measuring instruments made of EM energy — rather than objective features of a multi-valued universe.
Extends the framework to general relativity. Establishes that gravity can be understood as the aggregate electromagnetic field texture of matter — the combined EM fields of all particles producing a field-density gradient in the surrounding space. Objects moving through this gradient are deflected in ways that reproduce all the predictions of general relativity, including gravitational time dilation, the perihelion precession of Mercury, and the bending of light around massive objects.
The paper shows that the factor of two by which general relativity exceeds Newton's prediction for light bending follows naturally from including the EM-on-EM interaction between the photon and the field texture of surrounding matter — an interaction Newton's force-based model entirely omitted.
Quantum Relativity does not rest on new experiments. It draws on an existing experimental record — one that already supports the core premise that matter is constituted by electromagnetic energy.
First theoretical proposal that matter (electron-positron pairs) could be created from pure photons — establishing the conceptual foundation that matter and light are convertible forms of the same energy.
Internal jittery motion at the speed of light predicted inside electrons — precisely consistent with a particle constituted by circulating EM energy. Remained theoretical for decades.
Matter created from photon-photon collisions at SLAC — the first experimental confirmation that matter can be produced directly from light.
French physicists experimentally confirmed Schrödinger's predicted internal motion at the speed of light inside electrons. A direct observation of the EM circulation structure.
Electron-positron pairs created directly from photon-photon collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Matter from light, physically produced in the laboratory.
Aspect, Clauser, and Zeilinger confirmed quantum entanglement — correlations between particles propagating faster than light. Consistent with QR's reclassification of relativistic speed limits as observer effects, not absolute laws.
"The equations all work — so it must be right, mustn't it? I'm saying: the equations work for a slightly different reason from the one conventionally given. And that difference matters enormously for what physics can do next."
