This is another excellent account by Kerry Pendergast of the incorrectness of the standard model, which is currently being held together by strings of humbug. The analogy between political parties is a good one, as can be seen here the standard journals are now well known simply to censor new physics without bothering even to read it. This is like failing a student without marking the exam paper, then asking for a large salary raise.. So what is going on now is a power struggle, a small faction of physicists seek to dominate the mind-set by non-scientific methods. This has led to a collapse of confidence – as can be seen clearly from the huge interest in ECE theory and educational books such as Kerry’s on _www.aias.us_ (http://www.aias.us) .

Dear Myron, Please find below the latest page of Crystal Spheres.     Johannes Diderik van der Waals (1837-1923) was born in Leiden in the Netherlands where he obtained his doctorate before becoming the first physics professor at the new University of Amsterdam in1876.  At a time when chemists had long accepted the existence of atoms and molecules, van der Waals was quick to take this as fact (unlike most other physicists of his time) and considered how forces between molecules affected their melting point and boiling points.  Covalent, ionic or metallic bonding is responsible for causing atoms to link up into molecules or ionic lattices or to form metallic structures and is primarily responsible for the melting points and boiling points of various substances.  However if you consider the noble gases there is no covalent bonding present to account for the attraction between their atoms that would account for the rise in the boiling point as the group is descended towards the heavier members of the group.  Theoretical physicists and cosmologists could well introduce the concept of dark matter to explain the attraction between atoms of helium which acts as a kind of invisible glue causing the gaseous atoms to condense as the temperature approaches absolute zero.  They could go on to say heavier members of the group will then boil at higher temperatures because bigger atoms will have more of this invisible dark matter holding them in place.  Of course van der Waals had the insight not to go for such fanciful and stupid reasoning and merely identified that there must be a smaller force which is present between all molecules and which increases in size as molecules and atoms get bigger.  These forces are due to dipole-dipole forces, dipole-induced forces and instantaneous induced dipole-induced dipole forces, which are now known collectively as van der Waals forces.  Van der Waals was awarded the 1910 Nobel Prize for Physics for his insights into the interactions between molecules and demonstrates how theory is led by experiment and does not need exotic explanations when our existing knowledge can readily be extended from what is already scientifically verifiable.               In politics it easy to come up with opposing ideas which when well presented leaves the electorate confused and unable to see the best way forward.  It was like this with the theoretical arguments between Einstein and the theoretical physicists (mathematicians) who created the Copenhagen Convention at the 1927 Solvay Conference in Belgium!  Heisenberg was able to use his great mathematical ability to blind the delegates to the power of the Schrödinger equation and its grounding in deterministic atomic physics and replace it with his unscientific matrix mechanics which did the same thing but without taking into account the progress made through the Baconian science of the last three centuries.  For years Einstein expended his energies trying to convince the nondeterministic Copenhagen school that atoms could be visualized and it was wrong to believe quantum theory could be developed only through the use of probabilistic terms.  Sadly Heisenberg and his uncertainty principle prevailed and this ludicrous theory still dominates today in theoretical physics.  Heisenberg went on to gain with Einstein’s support the 1932 Nobel Prize for Physics for his treatment of quantum mechanics and his mathematical prowess is without question, but with his uncertainty principle he has led generation after generation of theoretical physicists on a wild goose chase and it is only in the opening years of the twenty-first century that this folly has started to be recognized.  In 2005 one hundred years after Einstein’s miraculous year, history still recorded that Einstein’s belief that physics is geometry and that a ‘theory of everything’ could be built on deterministic physics was wrong.  History still recorded that Einstein wasted the second half of his life trying to develop his flawed theory and that the true ‘gospel’ was that of Heisenberg and the Copenhagen Convention.  History records that the Copenhagen protagonists had won on points the many dialogues between the two approaches to physics.  However the real way to prove theories correct is to show they can be used to predict correctly and more importantly can lead to new insights into nature and ultimately to new technologies. In this respect the true folly of the Copenhagen school was shown in the race between the allies and the Nazis to build the first atomic weapons; a race that would ultimately put the two great proponents of the Copenhagen school, Heisenberg and Bohr on opposite sides of the divide.  Heisenberg’s inability to visualize atoms was to lead to the incorrect assumption that a uranium bomb would require twenty tons of uranium, which was simply not the case as was demonstrated by the dropping of the atomic bomb which devastated Hiroshima in the closing days of World War 2.
