1 QUANTA By Warren E. York Started: Last Update: Copyright ABSTRACT: Up until now Quanta has been explained only as a packet or bundle of discreet energy. No real question has been given to the makeup of what Quanta really is or how it comes into being. Classical science only addresses Quanta as a little discreet bundle of energy. Example: A Photon. This paper will go beyond the classical description of Quanta and discuss the where and how that little bundle of energy comes into existence revealing why and how it is detected as a small bundle of discreet energy. Some may ask why do we need to know anything deeper than Quanta being a little discreet bundle of energy? The answer is simple. If man is to learn how and why Nature is as it is, a deeper understanding must be accounted for in mysteries of Nature. Quantum Theory is based on Quanta. Understanding Quanta gives us a better understanding of the Quantum Theory and the Quantum arena itself. The process that will be used to describe Quanta will come from a Theoretical Theory of a Unified Theoretical Nature. It is the foundation what Theoretical Physics is based on. The answers will come from the authors own Unified Field Theory and equation. A brief basic blue print of this theory will be presented so the answer can be understood of how and why the author has come to this conclusion. For a Unified Field Theory to be true this question and many others must be nested in that same Unified Field Theory foundation. The Theory will not change to reveal the answers but will be drawn upon to provide the answers to this and other questions that Nature hides from us. This paper will attempt to address just what Quanta really is and why it is as it is. The author hopes this paper will help spark a deeper interest in Nature and to encourage man not to just sit back working with unknowns without questioning the whys and how s of it all. No question in Nature is too hard to solve once a search for a solution is started. Getting started or finding a starting point on the other hand is the only real hard part. The authors Unified Field Theory, Unified Field Equation (E = MC 2 :: E = MC* <-2-> ) and his 4D Math Aid is offered as that starting point for this and many other questions hidden in Nature. Warren E. York

2 01.0 THE CURRENT DEFINITION FOR QUANTUM: Quantum 1 In physics, a discrete natural unit, or packet, of energy, charge, angular momentum, or other physical property. Light, for example, which appears in some respects as a continuous electromagnetic wave, on the submicroscopic level is emitted and absorbed in discrete amounts, or quanta; for light of a given wavelength, the magnitude of all the quanta emitted or absorbed is the same in both energy and momentum. These particles like packets of light are called photons, a term also applicable to quanta of other forms of electromagnetic energy such as X rays and gamma rays. Submicroscopic mechanical vibrations in the layers of atoms comprising crystals also gives up or takes on energy and momentum in quanta called phonons. See also quantum mechanics. For more information on quantum, visit Britannica.com. Britannica Concise Encyclopedia. Copyright Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Quantum Physics a. the smallest quantity of some physical property, such as energy, that a system can possess according to the quantum theory b. a particle with such a unit of energy Collins Discovery Encyclopedia, 1st edition HarperCollins Publishers 2005 Quantum [ kwän təm] (communications) One of the subranges of possible values of a wave which is specified by quantization and represented by a particular value within the subrange. (Quantum mechanics) For certain physical quantities, a unit such that the values of the quantity are restricted to integral multiples of this unit; for example, the quantum of angular momentum is Planck's constant divided by 2π.

3 An entity resulting from quantization of a field or wave, having particle like properties such as energy, mass, momentum and angular momentum; for example, the photon is the quantum of an electromagnetic field, and the phonon is the quantum of a lattice vibration QUANTA DERIVED FROM QUANTUM: Simplifying the definition above of Quantum would be to say Quantum is the state or condition level where Quanta is the actual unit of measurement that resides in that state. This is to say a particle at that level would have quantified unit of measurement or action/motion associated with it. So in short Quanta is describing a specific type of action/motion unit of measurement that is unique and different from other forms of measurement. Quanta is considered a bundle or burst of energy (Light), duration (Time) CONNECTING THE DOTS ASSOCIATED TO QUANTA WITH TERMS OF MEASURMENT: The following list of terms will always be associated with actions describing the quantum unit in question. 1. Scalar: Scalar will always have the action of a closed loop vector attached to it. That is to say, it will be measured as some kind of an AMOUNT or quantity. Taking a small step back here the conventional definition of Scalar is amount without vector. In reality, the vector, direction of that motion or action is what current science calls closed loop vectors. In other words, not an outward vector but inward and or rotational vectors Closed Looped Vectors: That is the action is confined and comes back on itself. For example, a rotating ball would have scalar action/motion associated with it. Its angular momentum would be that scalar action/motion. Gravity has a scalar amount to it. That means it has both closed looped action and monopole vector action (in ward) associated to it. This now has linked scalar to additional terms for our list. GRAVITY: There is physical Gravity and there is Quantum level Gravity. They both are not the same unit of measurement. A general definition of physical level Gravity is a unit of measurement that is linked to quanta by its associated actions/motion of scalar as described above. So when you talk about gravity you will also be talking about closed loop vectors and monopole vectors with scalar motion/action. Associated but hidden within this framework called gravity is another term known as Quantum Level Time. QUANTUM LEVEL TIME: Again there is physical level TIME and there is Quantum Level Time. They both are not the same measurement once again but one (quantum level) makes up the other (physical level) or time as you and I measure it at the physical level. To go into any great detail on quantum level time or physical level time is out of the scope of this paper but needs to be added to this list for it is one of the dots to be connected with quanta.

4 02.02 All the above are quantitized terms meaning their actions or motions are measured in terms of quanta. As you can now see the term quanta denotes a specific state of measurement and not a single set linear value. Keep in mind a set value can be associated to the quantum target such as with gravity or a photon. But that value becomes a scalar value measured on a linier scale. Each different quantum target can have a different quanta value associated to it. Quanta being the unique action/motion associated with that quantum level target. This tells us the quantum world is a different world than our physical level world. Measurements in quanta are not the same as measurements in the physical world directly. This is a known fact and mystery to conventional level science. That factor is explained in a prior paper published in the General Science Journal 2 and attached here at the end of this paper for your reference. The points in question are highlighted in yellow to point out the connection with the two papers. The same paper but published with Journal Of Theoretics, Vol. 3-6, June/July 2004 can be linked at the path: but without the yellow connected path to this paper for those of you that wish to choose to use the Internet in collaboration The Common Factor Between Measurements: The factor that is different between the physical level measurements and the quantum level measurements is none other than a factor of TIME. More precise the factor is that of Physical Time vs. quantum level Time. At this point, the Unified Field Theory will be used to clarify connecting all the dots What is Quanta Viewed From the Current Physical Level?: So by the above current understanding Quanta is a small discreet bundle of energy unit. Since TIME and angular momentum can also come as quantified units of measurement, actual quanta may have different values depending on what unit you are talking about that is quantified. A photon, for example, is a quanties unit. So in reality saying something is quantified we are not talking about a set value for all quantizations but rather a governed burst/bundle of energy depending on the unit of quanta being measured. Since it is not just one set amount for all types of quanta then actual quanta is a governed pulse or packet of said energy that is non linear in nature. If I were to flash a light on and off, that light could be perceived as quanta burst of light but in reality it is each photon in that pulse duration of light that is quantified and not the beam duration. If I leave the light on the pulsed duration goes away but not the quantization for each photon itself. Even though the light beam seems linear. However, each photon still contains a set value known as quanta. To understand what quanta at the quantum level will take a basic understanding of our Theoretical Unified Field Theory at this point Basic Simplified Understanding of Our Theoretical Unified Field Theory: Simplification of Theory: 1. YGEM Theory is based on light. ( The Photon ) [YGEM = York, Geier Electron Model] 2. The Electron is not an elementary particle as thought but instead made up of photons.

5 3. The Electron is made up of 918 paired photons to be exact. 4. The paired photons form two photonic internal quantum TIME tunnels as an X formation. This makes the electron become a point source in space/time. (See YGEM Map, Fig. 1 below) 5. The Electron can take on and give up two electrons at a time when changing energy levels. 6. The center line connecting the two tunnels forms what is called a Hopf Ellipse. 7. That virtual line is the Distance for the Speed of Light. (also zero point & quantum Time) 8. This new pattern formation is both Qudar pole (gravitational) and Dipole (magnetic). 9. The complete pattern formation rotates on an axis and has a spin of ½. 10. This dynamic pattern is our new Electron Model that we call the YGEM. THE YGEM MAP

6 06.0 Mathematical Proof of Concept is Based on Intrinsic Spin of ½: The Electron is known to have a spin of ½ or 720 degrees as compared to our physical world level rotation of spin 1 or 360 degrees. This is a measured fact but yet how can this be? How can one get 720 degrees (spin ½) of rotation out of just 360 (spin 1) degrees of rotation? The only way this can take place is both space, and time have been altered (dilated). This, in fact, by theory is what has taken place. Space and Time at the atomic and quantum levels are different than we measure them here at our physical base level. The yardstick for all of this is the Speed of Light. The speed of light is a constant and does not change but the ratio for the speed of light can and has been changed (altered). The change in the ratio for the constant speed of light is called the Distance for the Speed of Light. In other words, the constant stays the same but the time frame itself has changed (been dilated) that the constant resides in. Think of it as the play area for the speed of light to run in has been scaled down both in rate and distance as measured from our physical level. If we were to be able to move into the new playground at the quantum level (Time Frame) then we would not notice any difference once again, unless we could look back at our present level time frame. The relative measurements then would seem inverted from what we measured of the quantum level from the physical level. The constant at that quantum level would still be measured as the constant but only as long as we are inside that play ground or quantum level Time frame. This is how the speed of light can sometimes be reported as being FTL or faster than the speed of light when measured. It really has not changed but rather the Time Frame has changed. By the way, nature does this all the time on the quantum scale. It is called tunneling.

8 06.01 TIME FRAMES WITHIN TIME FRAMES: As one can see from the above graphic of a Hydrogen Atom we can have a time frame B 0 our present physical level time frame of both the dilated B 1 Hydrogen Atom s electron quantum level and the non dilated nueclus of that same atom within the basic physical atomic level of B 0 frame EXTRACTING QUANTA FROM DILATED TIME FRAMES: Our electron will always be in a state of relative motion B 1 as compared to our static physical time frame of B 0 level. Remember by theory our B 0 distance for the speed of light will be a constant while our B 1 time frame for our relative electron will be a ratio change ( )delta, for our distance of the speed of light, a variable. This by the way are the hidden variables in EPR theory. The hidden variables are of Time both at the B 0 and the B 1 time frame levels. B 0 consisting both of itself B 0 physical level and B 1 quantum level time frames. This brings us to the point of this paper. Just what and how quanta is as it is THE WINDOW OF QUANTA: Theoretically, when we talk about the quantum level we are talking about both special and time dilation. We know light is just one form that quanta comes in. It has been considered that Time, electromagnet and even wave functions 3 them self come in quanta form. Look back at our Theoretical Unified Field Theory of the YGEM map. Consider our electron model with angular momentum of which we already know it has. Look at the TIME flow portal of I 1 or just the MARK as I have labeled it. At 45 degree angle as the portal come by the B 0 detector the window opens and data is coupled between time frames. This is like a beacon action and causes the data to be detected in packet form of which we call quanta. This action is a holographic process for depending on the location of each detector the same strobe will be detected but at a slightly different reference point just like a holograph is of its composite target. This window coupling is the time line for our target. Never before to my knowledge has a TIME LINE been described in this manner with such clarity. The possibilities this TIME WINDOW offers is staggering and one that once proven will change the world and how we see it forever.

10 08.01 A TIME LINE: Notice in the above Circular Measure figure what is marked as a Time Line. Just what is a real time, time line? A Time Line is a unit of measurement that measures both a point in space and TIME of a target event. All of the quantum windows must be lined up (open) to measure the exact time and point of that event in order for the Time Line to be complete from point A to point B of measurement. When all are aligned and these conditions are met and all the windows are open we will have a real time, time line for our target in question. The open windows act like a set of lock tumblers. Only when all windows are aligned will the Time Line be accessible and the windows become open to every point in space and time along that Time Line. DEFINITION: From Wikipedia A timeline is a project artifact. It is typically a graphic design showing a long bar labeled with dates alongside itself and (usually) events labeled on points where they would have happened. It is used to show events along a period of time SO WHAT MAKES QUANTA A BURST OF ENERGY THAT IT IS? As the electron turns on its axis of angular momentum and at some point the quantum level window and the physical level windows will align there by allowing a signal or a burst of energy we call quanta to couple between levels or Time Frames. This action is like a beacon strobe light. This is also why and how we can detect the spin ½ for the electron with our detectors. They indicate 720 degrees of rotation for every 360 degree rotation in our physical world as the EM (electromagnet) energy is coupled between time frame states. Only when the two time frames windows align, is a signal allowed to pass between the time frame states. That is why and how Quanta is what it is and how it is. It is also why and how we can detect the electron of having an intrinsic spin of ½ or 720 degrees while having 360 degree physical axis of rotation at the same time for our physical states time frame. The alignment of the time frame windows act as a governor to the amount of energy burst, ( Quanta )allowed. This part of the theory can be tested by trying to generate a different spin state for the electron. I feel this is what might be happening when it is claimed to have stopped light in its tracks. I feel what might be going on instead is the windows are being synched with our physical time frame making light to look as if it has been stopped. It then can be restarted again by unsynching the alignment of the windows. Spintronics is a good point to test this possibility. I encourage further development and considerations by anybody that wishes to consider the challenge. Enjoy and thank you all for hearing me out. Questions are always welcome. I am now researching the possibilities of not just a window but a doorway. One that not just data like the window can couple but one that will couple to matter itself as a doorway.
