Condensation and Dispersion
More than half a century ago someone suggested to me that energies might be divided into two categories, energies that cause matter to condense and energies that cause matter to disperse. We may call them condensational and dispersional energies. But condensation and dispersion of what? I thought he was crazy. But afterwards, when I thought it over, I suspected that he might not be crazy. First I thought that gravitational energy must be condensational, and that when it causes condensation it becomes kinetic energy which must, therefore, be dispersional. But then I thought that if you shoot a bullet toward the ground the kinetic energy produces condensation. Oh no! If the bullet is going toward the Earth, the kinetic energy is going up, not down. So kinetic energy is dispersional, and since radiation is picked up as kinetic energy, without producing dispersion, it must also be dispersional. So then I thought that when condensational energy produces condensation, it becomes dispersional energy. And that when dispersional energy produces dispersion, it becomes condensational energy, as we see it in a swinging pendulum. And the total energy remains constant. Then I thought that electrical energy must be dispersional, and that we must be talking about the condensation and dispersion of nucleons only, protons and neutrons, not electrons. It would seem, then, that the total gravitational energy of the Universe must be the same thing as its total electrical energy, and that we see things spaced out against gravity by seeing them spaced in against electricity. The question then arose: Can we consider
electricity as a three dimensionally dispersional, gravitational
field? Do we have an example of a dispersional, gravitational field?
Then I thought of the merry-go-round. Couldn't we consider it a two
dimensional, dispersional, gravitational field with a Coriolis effect?
Could magnetism be the Coriolis effect of the three dimensionally dispersional,
electrical field? Like the Coriolis effect, the magnetic field is perpendicular
to the direction of motion, and proportional to the speed. John L. Dobson July
