Here we are compelled to write about the work, which
is basically not finished yet, for the scope of work is continuously creeping
beyond the boundaries of the initial problem. Therefore, our results are the most
initial. They are strongly connected with positioning electrodynamics
researches in general physics as the basis of natural science. The matter is
that the situation around this problem contains too many contradictions.
Maxwell
has opened a new form of a matter approximately 150 years ago [3]. Within the
rights of the author, he named it an electromagnetic field. By now, this field
has been studied so well and is used in techniques so widely, that we cannot
imagine our civilization without the devices, which exploit its properties. It
is basically owing to mathematical strictness of formulations in Maxwell theory
that we know about an electromagnetic field so much. But the whole theory is
fairly complex. To let the scientists of that time understand it better,
Maxwell illustrated the general theory with a private example. This example
contains the solution of the problem of an ideal flat transversal wave in free
space.
It may seem that the concrete situation
promoted the direct introduction of Maxwell theory directly into the
theoretical physics. Actually, the thing did not happen that way. The field
theory, every powerful device of it, was used in practice, while theoretical
physics used only a private example from the theory, which concerned flat waves,
i.e. the phenomenon, which does not exist in nature. In addition to it,
physicists have rejected for some reasons from Maxwell theory its basis – the
doctrine about induction. Such a paradox could not exist infinitely long. And
it has shown itself in its entirety in our researches of vortical or simply
circular motion of electromagnetic waves in inhomogeneous and nonlinear media.
Now the problem has gone so far that we should discuss not only the fact of
possible existence of vortexes, but also their fundamental properties. And all
of this has to be done without a support of theoretical physics, which is so
necessary, and sometimes even contrary to its traditions.
In Appendixes
we have stated the theoretical basis for the execution of experiments described here. The
main requirement is absolute registration of all the four velocities of electrical and magnetic fields, which form each vortex. And in the long term – it is the transformation of electromagnetic-field equations to dynamic form.
1. Individual properties of electromagnetic
vortexes
Let us begin with spin and mass. Both these
properties of an electromagnetic vortex are connected unequivocally only with
the problem of existence of the phenomenon. If it exists, then it is sure to
have spin and mass. Calculations have shown that such vortexes are possible,
and the behavior of Poiting vector testifies to a circular stream of energy.
And it is spin. However, the final answer to all the questions can be given
only with the help of a direct experiment with a macroscopic electromagnetic
vortex, for which we have defined some initial requirements. First, such a
nonlinear medium is necessary, in which self-focusing of laser radiation has
been gained. Secondly, there must be a strong rotating electromagnetic field.
Both the components are rather accessible to experimenters, and their
properties can vary over wide range.
The presence of a charge and a magnetic moment
is defined by unequivocally internal nonlinear properties of a vortex. I.e.
they inevitably follow from this nonlinearity in a variable electromagnetic
field, as display of a zero harmonic in spectroscopic decomposition of these
fields.
2. Collective properties of electromagnetic vortexes
Each vortex does not form a completely closed rotational-oscillating
system. Waves are spread around it. They decrease along the amplitude in
inverse proportion to the distance from the center. In usual linear space,
waves from different particles do not interact with one another. However, there
are areas of space in which this interaction takes place. Such areas are
nonlinear zones of other vortexes. If vortexes are close (within the units of
the lengths of waves) to each other, the mutual phasing of these waves has the
main role, and the phasing depends on the distance between the vortexes and on
their mutual orientation. Moreover, they strictly correspond to spherical
harmonics of each local wave process, which is called a particle. In some
positions the general energy will be minimal, in others - maximal. Therefore,
at small distances the zonal character of interaction becomes apparent.
Greater distances and a plenty of interacting vortexes should lead to averaging
of interactions, but it should be approximately round the minimum of the
general energy. It is already gravitation (we consider the
interaction of constant charges separately).
The process of a transition, for example of a
pair of vortexes from one steady state into another with the change of total
energy, generates great interest. It can be certainly investigated by direct
calculations by means of computers that are more powerful, than our PC. But
there are also other available analytical methods of studying the fluctuations
in nonlinear systems. They at once present the result testifying to an exchange
of energy with the surrounding field through radiation or absorption. At that,
the frequency of the radiated or absorbed waves should be proportional to the
difference between initial and final energy. Ingenious Max Planck has already
calculated, as you know, the coefficient of proportionality according to the
experimental data.
Thus, collective properties of electromagnetic
vortexes include the full number of all the known quantum properties of
fundamental particles, and also gravitation.
3. The Phenomenological
parallel: an electromagnetic vortex - a fundamental particle
For the sake of convenience the comparison of
the basic properties of electromagnetic vortexes with the properties of steady
fundamental particles is summarized in tables.
The first table shows, that there is a common
area of comparison (Table 1) for electromagnetic vortexes and known fundamental
particles. It involves mass, spin, a charge and the magnetic moment. These
known properties can be used to compare the results, as well as for the
possible introduction of corrections into electrodynamics of greater energies.

Table 2. Various
properties.
The properties of fundamental particles, which cannot
be studied by means of the usual quantum mechanics, limited by a set of
postulates, are listed in Table 2. They can be understood and investigated only
at the level of electrodynamics, by analyzing the corresponding electromagnetic
vortexes and, naturally, their interactions.
4. The Mathematical apparatus of quantum mechanics and
real properties of fundamental particles
Mutual relations between a
traditional quantum mechanics (as a subdiscipline)
and its mathematical apparatus have a character, which is similar to the
character of relationship between a dog and its tail. The majority of theorists
believe that the tail operates a dog. This interesting point of view was
strongly discredited by Dirac. He declared that before solving quantum problems
it is necessary to think and choose the mathematical apparatus, meeting the
subjective criterion of "beauty". We must admit that he himself did
it rather well. Any other scientist in this area could not even come near to
Dirac’s achievements, if you take into consideration the immensity of his
results. But
subjectivity in the choice of a mathematical apparatus does not give the ground
for the construction of an objective physical theory on its base.
So Dirac interferes with the magnificent theory
of a dog’s tail. We shall reject Dirac. Let the tail dominate. From this, it
follows that:
- dualism – a wave-particle,
- the
absence of trajectories for fundamental particles,
- indeterminacy
principle of Heisenberg,
- Bohr
model of an atom,
- a
huge family of flying notes: photons, rotons, gravitons, etc.
All the components of this antiworld cannot be
listed here. The common sense has a rest here. Money and academic ranks flow as if out of a horn of
plenty.
Everything is worse, if Dirac is right. Then we
shall have to be reconciled to his opinion [5]: «Thus, the generally-accepted
quantum theory of the field should be considered as a palliative without any
future». And the worst thing about it is that acceptance of Dirac’s point of
view entails the necessity to study other subdisciplines of physics, in
particular of the Maxwell and Hertz electrodynamics. It will inevitably lead to
vortexes, which will strongly damage the image of the antiworld. Then the
findings will be quite different:
- no dualism,
- fundamental particles have their own
trajectories,
- the indeterminacy principle of Heisenberg has
nothing to do with this,
-
Bohr model of an atom is primitive and incorrect,
-
a huge family of
flying notes: photons, rotons, gravitons, etc. are just a figment of imagination, which is much behind in comparison with the imagination of a chicken. A
bird identifies the
sources and interprets combinations of notes by implication, i.e. it carelessly
carries out arithmetic and integrated operations on streams of two
types of information –
aprioristic (here you will find imagination) and posteriori.
5.
Two quantum mechanics
So, research of electromagnetic vortexes
compels us to distinguish two quantum mechanics. The first, it is the
traditional with set of conventions and fantastic icons. Its
"palliative" character is not absolute since apparent successes of
this discipline cannot be denied. But the second quantum mechanics
exists. It is based on the Newton mechanic
and a Maxwell electrodynamics, and only it can open structure of fundamental
particles and the nature of their interaction, exclusively without hypotheses
and mystical revelations.
We do not impose our point of view to the
reader in any way, but we acquaint him with another approach to problems of the
world of fundamental particles, which is probably not new for him (the same
could be offered 100 years ago). And it is for him to decide what is more
realistic.
