Visualizing the Symmetries of the 4 Forces of Nature Posted by: sweetser Video duration: 540 seconds The four known forces of Nature, electromagnetism, weak forces, strong force, and gravity, are associated with 4 symmetry groups. The software for analytical animations of quaternions generates pictures of all of these symmetries, which looks like an expanding then contracting tennis ball.

This show tries to explain why quantum mechanics has to be the way it is, due to a new definition of the calculus of 4D events in spacetime. Pictures are provided.

My GEM (gravity and EM) proposal is the spot between Newton's scalar gravity theory and Einstein's rank 2 field equations.

These properties are developed for 4D in the hope of constructing a unified field theory. This video is a direct pitch to Garrett Lisi who has a unified field theory using E8, the largest exceptional group.

The new two limit quaternion derivative definition has a real directional derivative for classical physics, and the norm of a derivative for quantum mechanics.

This show discusses two original artworks I produced inspired by lessons from physics: "The Speed of Light According to Rene Magritte" and "Groups of Coherent Photons Behave Like Waves and Particles".

Although we get to see the cross product of two basis vectors creates a third, the vision is transient because all share the same time, t = 0. The input can be made dynamic which does not alter the cross product. If the order of multiplication is reversed, the cross product is smaller, but still blinks into existence only while t = 0.

Elea Kemler in Groton, MA at the First Unitarian Church. The Winiker Swing Orchestra provided the Tunes for our 100 funky friends. A great time was had by all.

This show answers a criticism raised by Prof. John Baez who asserted that the GEM model fixed the background metric. By direct calculation of a static point charge, it is shown that the good professor is wrong because he did not see the change in potential/metric.
