Cecil:
[snip] What I have done is presented a situation where lumped circuit theory totally falls apart as it does in physically large mobile loading coils. That's one reason that distributed network theory was invented. Flat Earth thinking equates to using lumped circuit theory for applications where it simply doesn't work. -- 73, Cecil, W5DXP [snip] As you well know 19th century electromagnetic field [EMAG] theory has been supplanted by modern 20th century quantum electro-dynamics QED, just as EMAG supplanted the circuit theory of the 18th century, and QED is "lumped" *not* "distributed". What??? Hey... give it up man! Distributed is passe... Even the latest Scientific American has an article on "Loop Quantum Gravity" the latest *lumped* physical theory, where the final three holdouts for the continuum and those discredited *distributed* theories, i.e. gravity, space, and time itself [i.e. Einstein's celebrated 20the century theory of general relativity] are now found to be "lumped" and are in fact comprised of purely discrete quanta. Time is not continuous or distributed but proceeds in tiny steps measured in Planck times of 10^-43 seconds. Space is also quantized in chunks of cubic Planck lengths of about 10^-99 cc's. See: Lee Smolin, "Atoms of Space and Time", Scientific American, January 2004, pp. 66-75. Quanta and lumps rule! -- Peter K1PO Indialantic By-the-Sea, FL [counting grains of sand on the beach today... :-)] |
