    Variation of the Speed of Sound in metals under tension

    Yes, I know that what I seek is non-linear wave equations. All the predictive results that I have depend on that being true. The effects may well be small, but cannot be ignored.They are the whole point of the exercise. There are also rotational effects in the medium that make things very...

    Variation of the Speed of Sound in metals under tension

    I was mistaken when I was seeking a variation in speed of sound in metals with tension. Thanks for clearing that up. I think that for my purposes a better example would be a cubic lattice of springs or wires. In that case, variations in tension due to stretching would vary the wave propagation...

    Variation of the Speed of Sound in metals under tension

    I am aware of temperature variation. Do I take your last sentence to mean that the "not really" at the start means "not by much"?

    Variation of the Speed of Sound in metals under tension

    I did study physics about half a century ago. I have developed a theory which explains many previously unexplained observations. It has also made several predictions that have been verified. It is vastly more successful that the Big Bang theory. Some examples. There are many more. * In the mid...

    Variation of the Speed of Sound in metals under tension

    Thanks for the replies. Where I am trying to get to with my line of questions is somewhere else entirely, but I couldn't start there because there is too much baggage in the history. I am looking at electromagnetism as being the waves of an aether which was how it started out but people got all...

    Variation of the Speed of Sound in metals under tension

    OK, thank you for that insight. So please leave aside my mistake here. Does the speed of sound vary with tension, even only slightly? And does it rise when there is a transverse tension?

    Variation of the Speed of Sound in metals under tension

    In a block of metal, each metal has a characteristic speed of sound. When metal is under tension, such as a guitar string, the speed rises as the tension increases. How does the speed vary (in a block say) as a function of tension along each of the three axes? I am assuming that transverse...

    The SR Question of the Century

    Because you must first synchronise the two clocks and then move them apart. This process of motion causes a discrepancy which means that you are always measuring half of the two way effect.

    What is the true nature of light?What is the true nature of light?

    Hi Tanus I do not accept that velocity is the correct interpretation of the red shift. For an interesting article in Apeiron Journal by Tom Van Flandern, "The Top 30 Problems with the Big Bang" see http://redshift.vif.com/JournalFiles/V09NO2PDF/V09N2tvf.PDF A number of points relate...

    What is the true nature of light?What is the true nature of light?

    Hi Tanus Tanus: ... I do now believe the "standing wave" is possible but it does not discount the ability to use a "particle" perspective in defining the universe. Even if all matter is only made up of waves the waves do "create" particles which are easier to calculate for than having to know...

    An ether theory with GR limit and EEP

    Hi Ilja Ilja: Instead of a big bang I obtain a "big bounce". Ray: I am interested in this because I am quite convinced (like Fred Hoyle) that the universe is vastly older than 10^10 years. My reasons for this derive from my study of cycles in the universe and my Harmonics theory which...

    What is the significance of harmonics in the universe?

    Hi Organic Organic: ... "Quality time" is what we can call “the butterfly effect in Chaos Theory”. So, the age of the universe (its "quantity time") has (in general) less influence on its fundamental lows, when observed form "quality time" point of view. What do you think? Ray: In...

    An ether theory with GR limit and EEP

    Hi Ilja Ilja: Hm, my theory is not exactly equivalent to GR, but has the Einstein equations of GR as a limit. Ray: Can you describe in non-mathematical terms the differences in predictions between your theory and GR or point me to where these are described on the web? Ilja: No. I´m...

    What is the significance of harmonics in the universe?

    Hi Wolfram Ray: Gravity is an imbalance between the inwards and outwards parts of a spherical standing wave that is each particle. The out wave is weaker by 1 part in 10^40 because of the increase in mass. Wolfram: this is an interesting comment, can you expand on this? Ray: Sure. First...

    An ether theory with GR limit and EEP

    Hi Ilja I have long believed that your proposal that Lorentz Aether is equivalent to GR is correct. Also, that it assists in a deeper understanding of physics. On your web page at http://ilja-schmelzer.de/GET/CQG-137134.html you quote the 2nd referee as saying "On the other hand, due to...
