Modelling Mini Prizes Can a model of sub-atomic particles, forces and atoms be created in Maya / Virtual Reality? Prize 1 â Waveform motion - Prototype electron. £10 See if a vortex in motion in a frictionless system can travel with a corkscrew motion. Method: Create a volume of very small transparent spheres, a densely populated volume. Give them random motion Possibly have 1 in 10 to 1 in 200 spheres coloured to make motion clear, Create a vortex. According to Helmholtz this should self sustain in a frictionless system Switch the initiation force for the vortex off to see if it sustains naturally. Then put the vortex in a fast moving (random but with an overall speed in one direction) volume of spheres so that the broad mouth of the vortex is slightly at an angle to the average directional motion, rather than being absolutely perpendicular to it. If there is no corkscrew motion post file to for the prize. There is no right or wrong answer here, just an attenuation of the number of possible vortex theories. Prize 2 â Electron slit experiment and wave particle duality £10 One of the extremely peculiar behaviours of electrons is that they diffract strangely when fired one at a time through a double slit. It is thought that this maybe due to the rough spinning mouth of the vortex sending out pulses. These pulses bounce through one slit and interact with the electron which has gone through the other deflecting it away from a straight course. Prize two is to show this behaviour exists. Prize 3 - Forming particles â prototype proton. £10 Vortices produce a slowly decaying trail, a spinning tube like structure. Put three vortices onto a tube shaped into a ring and moving around the ring to maintain it. Can this form exhibit stability? The entire assembly may have to additional movement to maintain stability. Prize 4 â Prototype neutron £10 Try and get model of 3 to glue to either 1 or 2. The assembly may have to be spun to equalize the forces. Prize 5 â Create a prototype atom £10 A prototype electron will be deflected from its normal helical course in areas where there is a gradient in the density of background particles. A prototype neutron + proton should either create this gradient, or create a flow which the face of an electron can `stick onto', allowing for an electron orbit, unfortunately in reality this is at a vast distance compared to the diameter of the nucleus. The prize is for a coherent model of a proton/neutron and electron assembly. Prize 6 - Planar sinusoidal movement. £10 Show planar or close to planar sinusoidal movement (as opposed to corkscrew in Prize 1) with either a spinning sphere, vortex or smoke ring form. Perhaps a full rotation, turning around the average vector of motion, per wave length will be required. Perhaps travelling edge on rather than open face on to direction of motion. This is not essential to the overall theory. Also can a prototype electron absorb and emit these forms, with or without sinusoidal movement? READ ME The point of these prizes is to provide a basic coherent geometry which can inspire people to create an accurate geometry for a unified theory of forces and matter. The reason why they will not be accurate is that the number of spheres per particle will be a guess and only by very serious study can the exact size be deduced. The actual number of spheres per particle is probably very large. I have studied many theories and they all have various heavy handed assumptions. String theory itself makes some bizarre assumptions about force without explaining it and has dozens of arbitrary constants. This, in contrast, really makes one single assumption about the nature of space â that either it is split up some way, filled with very small particles for example â not exactly a great leap of faith, and a tenet which is widely believed: the rest is Newtonian physics which we can trust. Prizes will be awarded to the first person who uploads the answers to the Yahoo group TOE in the physics section (https://groups.yahoo.com/group/TOE-) in both small avi file and Alias Maya file. You will find a `file' link on the homepage, upload the answer and leave a message on the notice board. Call the name of the upload Prize No... One of the conditions of the prize is that after an initial creation stage all artificial forces should be switched off, the model should cohere and work of its own accord. Good luck. Sorry the money is small, but it's something to put on your CV and talk about at the pub. Oh yes, you might get part of a Nobel Prize too!
