A compelling body of evidence supports the theory that stars are powered by fusion, among it the confirmed spectroscopic observation that as sun-like stars become older, they contain decreasing amounts of hydrogen, and increasing amounts of helium. To replace this theory with a very different one, this theory must at least make predictions that match observed data. To replace an accepted theory, an alternative theory must make some prediction different than those to which it is an alternative, and those predictions confirmed.

Jerrygg38, your claims do neither of these. Nothing you have posted to date at hypography makes any experimentally verifiable prediction, but rather you have stated such things as A claim that asserts itself to be un-testable is not a scientific theory, but rather in the class of statements Pauli termed “not even wrong”.

It’s not my intention, Jerry, to be harsh in my criticism, but with such deficiencies, your writing has nearly no scientific worth. You appear to have spent a lot of time and effort on it, but to have done so without the guidance from yourself or others necessary to inform you of the vital importance of not just writing ideas that appeal to you, but considering how to test them. If you hope to write acceptable, science, let alone science so compelling that it results in engineering proposals attracting billions of dollars in investment and solving important practical problems, you must I think start over with this critical principle in mind.


Yes. It appears that the main body of radiation from stars is as you state. The scientists have done a good job of calculating such things. I do not disagree with them. However unless some of the protons disintegrate within the stars, then the photonic converter would be impossible.

If some of them do disintegrate then a powerful source of energy can be achieved. The same would be true of the atom bomb. If some protons disintegrated in the process, then more energy would have been released than expected. I recall that the atom bomb scientists achieved more energy than they expected. Perhaps the pressure did cause some protons to explode.
If no protons disintegrated than the proton converter is invalid.

As far as thing being testable, that is beyond my ability. All I can do is produce a theory of the universe in which the calculations and experimental data already established agrees with my calculations and theory.

The Proton converter theory is not part of my Dot-wave Unified Field theory. It is just a separate theory based upon my calculations of the Einsteinian energy levels of an electron as it enters the proton. These levels indicate the binding energy of the proton is 3.4MEV. However can the proton be destroyed by some process? All I suggest is that a spherical field is worth a try. However I am hoping that at CERN they will discover more data which will indicate that the proton can be destroyed.

My only purpose is to bring to light the possibility. I sent the information to the Department of Energy. They send it to one of their physicists. He responded that my ideas were interesting but that I should send them for peer review. Well I am an outsider. So all I can do is self-publish my work and send them to libraries. In this way, people will accept or reject what I have to say.

Since I have many different theories in my books, the rejection of one or more does not negate my effort. I do not make any money on this. It is just my hobby.
Anyway thanks for your comments. You may very well be right about the sun. The possibility of proton destruction may be slim. However then what hope have we to reach the stars?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
