OK. I understand that. The definition of a quantum rules out any
subdivision of an elementary particle, and that is one reason I
disagree with the definition. However, I do think that what is in a
particular quantum entity is forever in that quantum entity. So the
keyword is inseparable rather than indivisible.
In a world restricted to 4D, an elementary particle being a point in
4D, when measured, does seem to indicate a lack of possibility of sub-
division. But there may be a few ways around that snag. One way is to
assume more than 4D. Joy Christian's model uses 7D for Euclidean
space, though I might have paraphrased that and expressed it badly.
String theory uses more than 4D. Also, QM uses extra dimensions in
abstact mathematical space. I see that as reflecting a physical
presence beyond the 4D. Being a point in 4D does not imply a lack of
structure in N dimensions. And a structure implies sub-division, and
sub-elementary particles.
Another snag is that even if an electron has structure in N Dimensions
it is still only one point in 4D and therefore the sub-electrons are m
points in 4D ... all at the same overall point for the electron. Here
we seem to be in the realm of points within points. Or perhaps, cf,
how many angels on a pin point. I see the BB universe as a quantum.
The state of the cyclic Conformal Cosmology model at singularities
seems to me to be similar to the sub-division of an elementary
particle. If the universe started at a singularity, or regularly
cycles through singularities, then how can the universe now have a sub-
structure? If an electron cannot have sub-points then why is the same
argument not used to say that the universe could never have started at
a singularity as, if it did, it could never have gained a sub-
structure.
Penrose's answer, I believe, is that all the points need to disappear
at the universe singularity. All the fermions need to be gone as the
exclusion principle would prevent fermions occupying a single point.
Fermions can be converted to bosons and they do not have an exclusion
principle. All the universe can then occupy a single state which is
equivalent to a singularity. I see the same thing happening for an
electron. When an electron is measured, all the sub-electrons need to
have changed to sub-bosons to allow the whole electron to occupy one
single point or singularity.
But that still does not explain what happens after the electron
singularity. In my model the singularity occurs at a measurement. An
electron can only be measured when at a singularity. And it is always
a point when measured. But is an electron a point when it is not being
measured?
Sam Wormley's recent mantra in Sci.physics is: "Like aether, if one
can't detect it directly or indirectly it might as well not exist at
all." But what happens after electron measurement is then detectable
as field effects. The wave particle duality is not really a
simultaneous duality, it is a sequence of singularity-wave-singularity-
wave etc. But the electron can only be measured when at a
singularity.
The field effects are from the presence of the sub-electrons dispersed
in 4D, in between singularities. Field effects can only arise in
between measurements of the whole-electrons. Although electrons can
be measured as points, sub-electrons cannot. But if two electrons
repel one another then that is effected through the fields, ie
interactions of sub-electrons dispersed in the 4D.
