[[generation/derivation of sentence meaning]]

According to Kreidler, sentence meaning is derived from the meanings of its constituent lexemes and from the grammatical meaning it contains. The linguist claims that if the lexical and grammatical meanings of a sentence are known, it is known the meaning of the very sentence, and vice versa. Moreover, knowing the meaning of the sentence, one knows what conditions are necessary in this world for this sentence to be true.

The derivation of sentence meaning is closely related with truth-conditional semantics that is based on the notion that the core meaning of any sentence (any statement) is its truth conditions. The analysts of this approach are interested in the instances when the language of the message implicates some additional meaning that accounts for the inference.

There are definite rules for combining the meanings of lexical items. Palmer reminds us detailed derivational rules by Katz and Fodor (1963). The rules of combining individual lexical items into the meaningful sentence are called projection rules. The process of combination is called amalgamation, and it is the combination of markers and distinguishers. Paths are the structural analysis of the meanings. Thus projection rules are used to state what can be amalgamated with what, and in what order. The order of lexical items in the sentence depends upon the grammatical status of the elements. According to these rules, we combine adjective with noun, noun phrase and adverb with verb, etc.. As soon as the grammatical status is established, the paths of various lexical items are amalgamated. The next step in this analysis is to state the markers and distinguishers. The markers are general components, and the distinguishers are specific characteristics. After the amalgamation of paths of various lexical items, we combine the meanings into sentence (much alike predicate calculus). Such kind of analysis provides us much more satisfactory results than componential analysis.

To sum up, generation/derivation of sentence meaning is based on the rules of componential analysis and amalgamation procedure (the later proved to be more trustworthy and plausible). The meaning of a sentence is generated by adding lexical items according to projection rules discovering restrictions for the situation, and so the meaning of the whole sentence is built.

[[Nelson Bros Funeral Services]]

Nelson Bros Funeral Services was established in 1858 and is now a fifth generation family owned and operated business in Melbourne, Australia.

Robert Simeon Nelson moved to a small town called Linton, outside Ballarat, in Victoria's goldfields in the hey-day of the mid-19th century gold rush. He established the town's local general store and cabinet works. As the town's carpenter, he also made the town's coffins and thereby became the local undertaker. He then made his own hearses and coaches.

By the 1920s, his grandchildren had expanded the business into Melbourne and had several funeral homes across Melbourne suburbs. Theo and James introduced pre-paid funerals and were inaugural members of the Australian Funeral Directors Association.

Through the 20th century, Nelson Bros established themselves as leaders of quality and innovation in the industry. Until the 1970s, they even continued to build their own coffins, caskets and hearses.

Today, five generations on, the Nelson family continues to own and operate the business. With a distinctive black Rolls Royce fleet and funeral homes in Elsternwick, Footscray, Hoppers Crossing, Sunshine and Williamstown, this funeral company remains a leader of quality and innovation.

Late Professor [[Raj Shankar]]

Late Dr. Raj Shankar (1947-2000),

Late Professor,

Department Of Biochemistry,

Institute Of Medical Sciences (IMS),

Banaras Hindu University (BHU),

Varanasi-Uttar Pradesh-221005,

INDIA

His main fields of specialization were Neurobiochemistry and Clinical Biochemistry.His contributions on neurochemistry are well recognized and he had been invited to deliver lectures in various prestigious conferences.Professor Raj Shankar's contribution is in developmental neurobiology with special reference to undernutrition during brain growth spurt period.His work had clearly established that undernutrition during brain development causes some irreversible changes.In 1991,work carried out in Texas and Yale with Magnetic Resonance Imaging by other workers confirmed some of the conclusions of Prof Shankar's work.Work done during last few years on developing brain show that signal transduction mechanisms are affected due to nutritional stress during brain development.Professor Shankar's other work involved biochemical aspects of mode of action of drugs on C.N.S.Apart from work on reserpine done earlier and published in NATURE and BIOCHEMICAL PHARMACOLOGY,in 1987 he established that the barbiturate pentobarbitone affects protein phosphorylation in brain.This work is significant from the point of view of views on signal transduction.His work also concerned with mode of action of drugs like haloperidol and trifluoperazine.Professor Shankar's work in clinical biochemistry was mainly concerned with lipoprotein metabolism.Professor Shankar has over 50 publications in international and national Journals of repute.

=The brief history of Research work done by him & his contributions to Neuro-Chemistry and Bio-Chemistry :=

He worked for one year (1966-67) in the Vallabhbhai Patel Chest Institute,University Of Delhi,India on the Lipid Metabolism In Mycobacteria.In 1967,he went to Kinsmen Laboratory of Neurological Research,University Of British Columbia,Canada to work under Prof.J.H. Quastel, F.R.S. for PhD degree in Biochemistry.There he worked On "Cerebral Metabolism during Anoxia and effect of some Neurotropic Drugs".This work clearly showed

that tetrodotoxin strongly stimulates anaerobic glycolysis and these findings led to the conclusion that at the onset of anoxia,and in the absence of tetrodotoxin action potentials are generated. The above work has been cited in various publications by a number of workers.In 1971,he returned from abroad and joined Department Of Biochemistry ,Institute Of Medical Sciences,Banaras Hindu University,Varanasi,India.There he initiated work on undernutrition and brain development.His early work was concerned with developing a suitable model for study of effect of undernutrition on cerebral metabolism during the brain growth spurt period.Ultimately the method of restriction feeding time of the suckling rats was adopted and he found that transport property of isolated cerebral tissue is altered in developing rats .This was perhaps first demonstration of the fact that undernourishment during brain growth spurt period causes changes in the membrane organization resulting in altered transport properties.It was also found that a key membrane enzyme Na+K+ ATPase show decreased activity in addition to changes in pattern of oubain inhibition which was reversible on adequate rehabilation.This work along with some other findings of him show that these changes are presumably due to the free radical induced damage to developing brain.

Studies on incorporation of C14-acetate into brain lipids of undernourished rats in vivo carried out by him showed that inspite of lipid deicit, 14C-acetate incorporation is slightly higher in experimental animals.This finding ultimately led to the observation that operation of pentose phosphate cycle is altered in the brains of undernourished animals.Gultathione and ascorbic acid was also studied in undernourished brain. From 1980-84 he worked on a project "Drug Action ,brain development and behavioral changes in the mammalian system "financed by CSIR(India).This work mainly led to the finding that action of some CNS acting drugs are potentiated in undernourished animals.They also observed that the drug reserpine is a strong inhibitor of lipid peroxidation and protein phosphorylation in brain.This project was mainly concerned with interaction between drug action,monoamines and membrane phenomenon which could later be extra polated to behaviour.Since various gangliosides are involved in binding of cerebral amines the contents of different species of gangliosides and neuraminidase activity was established.He established that the drug reerpine effects the cationiv content of rat brain and proposed that changes in cationic content may be playing a part in release of monoamines at the synapse.It was further shown that transport property of isolated cerebral tissue is altered in chronic reserpinized animals which further pointed out the membrane action of reserpine.In 1980 he established that there is a relationship between high density lipoproteins and premature atherosclerosis in patients with renal failure.The work on lipoproteins was also carried out with patients suffering from anxiety neurosis.He was one of the coinvestigators in an international study on protein energy requirements in indivisuals of this country and this work was supported by the United Nations University.In addition he was involved in a number of collaborative studies with various groups in the institute.The studies include Biochemical and Immunological studies in chylurya,placental oxidative enzymes in pregnancy anemia,Lecithin-Sphingomyelin ratio in fetal lung maturity etc.Till August 2000 he was involved in study of protein phosphorylation in brain.He had shown that protein phosphorylation is adversely on rehabilation .Attempts were in progress to characterize specific proteins by SDSPAGE and radioautography.He had shown the effect of pentobarbitone on cerebral protein phosphorylation which is not due to to its action on electron transport chain.Work was also in progress in his laboratory till August 2000 to study effect of a number of CNS drugs on protein phosphorylation in brain and to examine if specific proteins are effected.This would have helped to establish exact role of cerebral phosphoproteins in neurotransmission.Mechanism of action of some antiepileptic drugs on brain metabolism was also in progress.In 1999 he conclusively established that in conditions like Alzeihmer's disease there is phosphorylation related folding problem of proteins.This is responsible for cognitive and other defects.Similar situation exists under severe undernutrition during brain growth spurt period and similar mechanism involving protein phosphorylation may be involved here also. In 2000 along with his student Kalyan Goswami,he showed that sites in proteins damaged due to free radicals can be accurately determined by carbonylation studies and may be developed as an accurate method to denote relation between chronological age and biological age after free radical induced damage.(Kalyan Goswami,B.D. Bhatia ,Raj Shankar, 2000)

[[Dr. Twister]]

Dr. Twister was once a documentor of several MMORPG exploits. Although many suspected his intent was to ruin these games, he ran under the premise that these companies needed to be held accountable for their sub-par products. While his approach was disliked, it has become an unignorable point of debate among MMORPG enthusiasts that still holds truth today.

During his heyday, there were only a couple MMORPGs around. It was common for MMORPG developers to not properly test or update their games. This meant that critical bugs were found quite often. Some of those exploits would remain for long periods of time. Essentially, Dr. Twister forced these exploits into the limelight, putting a lot of pressure on developers to get them fixed.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), his site did not last more than a couple years, as his hosting went under along with many others during the dot bomb. He was not heard of again since, until he re-emerged as a writer for http://www.wtfman.com in mid 2005. This time, he promises no more exploit exposés.

From Chao Xu

Mgccl 19:11, 8 January 2006 (UTC)Chao Xu was born in China several minutes to 12am, September 12th, 1989(9/11/1989 in America). He was told he has at least 25% Jewish

He was one of the best student in elementary school during the 1st and 2nd grade. But due to his laziness, he's grade start to drop to the lowest of the class.

In the 1st grade, he got a piano. He doesn't want to play it but been forced to practice on it.

He has interest on computer games.

When he was in the 3rd grade, he went to Australia because his aunt Huiling think he won't have any opportunity to be successful.

In Australia, he first lived with aunt Honghua for a week, and attended a school near Eastlakes, a suburb of Sydeny. he lived with his aunt Huiling and his uncle for 2 years.

In those 2 years, he start as a 4th grader in Maroubra Junction Public School. He attended ESL (English as Second Lanuage) than normal English classes. In about half a year, he can understand most everyday language. He start to do something he never liked--read.

Most time he read things associated with information technology, some times he read fictions. That's how he start to develop interest in computers rather than computer games.

=The Philadelphia Experiment: A Mathematical Analysis=

=The Fundamental Mathematics=

=The Metric Tensor and Field Tensor Problem=

Let us assume the most general possible metric tensor in (x,y,z,t) space:

[g] = [g_{\alpha \beta}] =

\begin{bmatrix}

g_{xx} & g_{xy} & g_{xz} & g_{xt} \\

g_{yx} & g_{yy} & g_{yz} & g_{yt} \\

g_{zx} & g_{zy} & g_{zz} & g_{zt} \\

g_{tx} & g_{ty} & g_{tz} & g_{tt}

\end{bmatrix}

We will not assume any coordinate symmetries, nor any symmetries in the metric tensor; we will solve the problem in the full 16 metric tensor variables.

We will also need the inverse metric tensor, which in this case would be obtained by treating the tensor as a matrix and inverting the matrix.

[g]^{-1} = [g^{\alpha \beta}]

We note that the metric tensor g_{\mu \alpha} times the inverse metric tensor g^{\beta \mu} yields the Kronecker-Delta tensor. This is equivalent to a matrix times its inverse being equal to the identity matrix.

[g]^{-1} [g] = [I]

or

g^{\mu \alpha} g_{\beta \mu} = \delta^{\alpha}_{\beta}

Now that we have postulated the metric tensor, we have a lot of algebra to do in order to arrive at the Einstein tensor. The first thing to calculate are all of the connection symbols.

\Gamma^{\alpha}_{\beta \gamma} = \frac{1}{2} g^{\mu \alpha} [ \frac{\partial g_{\gamma \mu}}{\partial x^{\beta}} + \frac{\partial g_{\beta \mu}}{\partial x^{\gamma}} - \frac{\partial g_{\gamma \beta}}{\partial x^{\mu}} ]

Since there are 4 indices (x,y,z,t) that could be assigned to the connection symbol indices (\alpha, \beta, \gamma), then there are 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 different connection symbols that need to be calculated (since we are not assuming any coordinate symmetry, nor even any metric tensor symmetry). The index \mu is an index that is repeated and it is an example of the Einstein notation, which specifies summation over all possible values of that index. For example, consider the product of the factor in front with the first term in brackets. What the repeated index really means is a sum of the form:

g^{\mu \alpha} [ \frac{\partial g_{\gamma \mu}}{\partial x^{\beta}} ]

= g^{x \alpha} \frac{\partial g_{\gamma x}}{\partial x^{\beta}}

+ g^{y \alpha} \frac{\partial g_{\gamma y}}{\partial x^{\beta}}

+ g^{z \alpha} \frac{\partial g_{\gamma z}}{\partial x^{\beta}}

+ g^{t \alpha} \frac{\partial g_{\gamma t}}{\partial x^{\beta}}

This is the sort of summation that is going to occur a lot in this article. Basically, whenever 1 repeated index occurs, it implies the sum of 4 terms, one for each of the indices (x,y,z,t). Whenever 2 repeated indices occurs, it implies the sum of 4 x 4 = 16 terms. In this fashion, the expressions that occur in the algebra of general relativity can quickly become millions of terms long.

Note that first derivatives occur in the formula for the connection symbol. These are expressions that are going to be replaced by finite differenced first derivative expressions. We will talk about the numerical aspects of this problem later.

Now that the connection symbols are all calculated, we move on to the Riemann tensor components. These are given by:

For this tensor, there are 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 = 256 components to calculate (since we are not assuming any symmetries whatsoever). Also, the product that occurs with the g_{\mu \nu} factor times the terms in the second set of brackets, involve a sum over 2 indices, and so this means the sum of 4 x 4 = 16 sets of such brackets, in each and every one of the Riemann tensor components.

Note that second derivatives occur in the first set of brackets. These are expressions that are going to be replaced by finite differenced second derivative expressions.

Next, we must calculate the Ricci tensor components. These are given by:

R_{\alpha \beta} = g^{\mu \nu} R_{\mu \alpha \nu \beta}

There will be 4 x 4 = 16 such tensor components. Each one will involve a sum of 4 x 4 = 16 terms.

Next, we calculate the Ricci scalar. This is given by:

R = g^{\mu \nu} R_{\mu \nu}

Finally, we form the Einstein tensor:

G_{\alpha \beta} = R_{\alpha \beta} - \frac{1}{2} g_{\alpha \beta} R

To get this far, in terms of writing out useful finite difference expressions, a tremendous amount of algebra is required! Probably, this is too much algebra to write down by hand, or even to code by hand. There will be an awful lot more before we are finished. It is suggested that the user code this expressions within a symbollic computation program such as Maple. One would start by coding the metric tensor exactly as we defined it at the start. One would then calculate the inverse metric tensor by simply calculating the inverse of the matrix, possibly using Kramer's Rule, or possibly using a built-in matrix inversion function. Note that calculating the inverse metric tensor alone is probably too much algebra to do by hand. Then, each set of tensor elements may be symbollically coded, until one finally has got symbollic expressions for all 4 x 4 = 16 components of the Einstein tensor. Next, all occurrences of first and second derivatives must be replaced with finite differenced expressions, which we will discuss toward the end of this article.

Eventually, we will end up with a residual tensor, and we will want to convert the symbollic expressions for all related elements to computer code, such as fortran 77. This is one good reason to use Maple. Maple is capable of automatically converting symbollic expressions to optimized code. The result will be code that is not human-readable. However, the Maple worksheet that has led to the auto-code will hopefully be somewhat human-readable, for error checking purposes.

We have got about half the material we need to formulate the Einstein equations, namely, the Einstein tensor. The second half of the material is the energy-momentum tensor for an electromagnetic field.

We must start with the electromagnetic field tensor:

F^{\alpha \beta} =

\begin{bmatrix}

0 & b_z & - b_y & - e_x \\

- b_z & 0 & b_x & - e_y \\

b_y & - b_x & 0 & - e_z \\

e_x & e_y & e_z & 0

\end{bmatrix}

The quantities (e_x, e_y, e_z) and (b_x, b_y, b_z) are the components of the electric and magnetic fields respectively, in our rectangular coordinate system (x,y,z,t). Since these are the field components that make up the field tensor, and hence which will make up the energy-momentum tensor, one might think that these were going to be the source variables. But this is not how we will formulate this problem! The field variables are going to be added to the list of dependent variables, and they are going to appear in the Maxwell equations, which will be added to the list of equations. And in the Maxwell equations, the field variables will be expressed in terms of the source current densities. The source current densities are going to be the sole source variables in the problem! This means that the entire problem is going to be solved based on the magnitude and direction of the source electric currents. These currents might possibly be an electric current running through a set of coils, or plasma running through some kind of plasma conduit, or whatever electric current source one might postulate was used in the actual Philadelphia Experiment.

In any event, we now need to calculate the energy-momentum tensor components. This components we require are given by:

T_{\alpha \beta} = g_{\alpha \nu} F^{\mu \nu} F_{\beta \mu} - \frac{1}{4} g_{\alpha \beta} F_{\mu \nu} F^{\mu \nu}

Note that this formula uses the F_{\alpha \beta} form of the field tensor. This is given by:

F_{\alpha \beta} = g_{\alpha \mu} g_{\beta \nu} F^{\mu \nu}

We finally have all the info we need to formulate the Einstein equations:

G_{\alpha \beta} = - 8 \pi G T_{\alpha \beta}

where G is the Universal Constant of Gravitation.

We need this equation to be in residual form. Therefore, let us define the residual tensor to be:

r_{\alpha \beta} = G_{\alpha \beta} + 8 \pi G T_{\alpha \beta}

Therefore our gravitational field equations are simply:

r_{\alpha \beta} = 0

We stated earlier that we needed the Maxwell equations. In their general relativistic form, the Maxwell equations are:

F^{\mu \alpha}_{; \mu} = - J^{\alpha}

F_{\alpha \beta ; \gamma} + F_{\gamma \alpha ; \beta} + F_{\beta \gamma ; \alpha} = 0

The covariant form of differentiation we have used here are expressions of the form:

F^{\alpha \beta}_{; \gamma} = \frac{\partial}{\partial x^{\gamma}} F^{\alpha \beta} + \Gamma^{\alpha}_{\gamma \mu} F^{\mu \beta} + \Gamma^{\beta}_{\gamma \mu} F^{\alpha \mu}

F_{\alpha \beta ; \gamma} = \frac{\partial}{\partial x^{\gamma}} F_{\alpha \beta} - \Gamma^{\mu}_{\gamma \alpha} F_{\mu \beta} - \Gamma^{\mu}_{\gamma \beta} F_{\mu \alpha}

Since both forms of the field tensor are antisymmetric, it turns out that the two Maxwell equations may be expressed in the simplified form:

\frac{\partial}{\partial x^{\mu}} \sqrt{g} F^{\mu \alpha} = - \sqrt{g} J^{\alpha}

\frac{\partial}{\partial \alpha} F_{\beta \gamma} + \frac{\partial}{\partial \beta} F_{\gamma \alpha} + \frac{\partial}{\partial \gamma} F_{\alpha \beta} = 0

In the first Maxwell equation, the scalar g is the negative of the determinant of the metric tensor [g] = [g_{\alpha \beta}]. Since a square root of the determinant occurs in the equation, we will not use this form; we will use the previous more complicated form. The reason for this is that we will be bending space by gradually increasing the magnitude of the source current J^{\alpha}. As this is occurring, there is no telling how the metric tensor will change. We will start it off as the Minkowski metric tensor for flat space. However, as the source current is increased, space will bend, and the metric tensor will change. If the metric tensor changes to something such that \sqrt{g} is imaginary, even just temporarily within the numerical code, then this will invalidate the computation. Therefore, it will be numerically simpler to use the previous more complicated version of the equation where \sqrt{g} does not appear and hence this problem will not occur.

The second Maxwell equation, however, is considerably simpler and does not contain any such troublesome term. We will therefore use the latter simpler version of this equation.

At this point we assume a source current density of the form (J^x, J^y, J^z). These will be the only source terms appearing anywhere in the equations. Expanding the first Maxwell equation into 3 equations, one for each source current density component, we obtain:

F^{x x}_{; x} + F^{y x}_{; y} + F^{z x}_{; z} + F^{t x}_{; t} = - J^x

F^{x y}_{; x} + F^{y y}_{; y} + F^{z y}_{; z} + F^{t y}_{; t} = - J^y

F^{x z}_{; x} + F^{y z}_{; y} + F^{z z}_{; z} + F^{t z}_{; t} = - J^z

Let us expand all the covariant derivatives in these equations to obtain:

In order for these equations to be useful in the numerical solution that will be described soon, they must be in residual form:

Expanding the second Maxwell equation into 3 equations:

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} F_{z t} +

\frac{\partial}{\partial z} F_{t y} +

\frac{\partial}{\partial t} F_{y z}

= 0

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} F_{z t} +

\frac{\partial}{\partial z} F_{t x} +

\frac{\partial}{\partial t} F_{x z}

= 0

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} F_{y t} +

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} F_{t x} +

\frac{\partial}{\partial t} F_{x y}

= 0

However, we want equations with the F^{\alpha \beta} form of the field tensor, and so the above equations become:

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} g_{z \mu} g_{t \nu} F^{\mu \nu} +

\frac{\partial}{\partial z} g_{t \mu} g_{y \nu} F^{\mu \nu} +

\frac{\partial}{\partial t} g_{y \mu} g_{z \nu} F^{\mu \nu}

= 0

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} g_{z \mu} g_{t \nu} F^{\mu \nu} +

\frac{\partial}{\partial z} g_{t \mu} g_{x \nu} F^{\mu \nu} +

\frac{\partial}{\partial t} g_{x \mu} g_{z \nu} F^{\mu \nu}

= 0

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} g_{y \mu} g_{t \nu} F^{\mu \nu} +

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} g_{t \mu} g_{x \nu} F^{\mu \nu} +

\frac{\partial}{\partial t} g_{x \mu} g_{y \nu} F^{\mu \nu}

= 0

These equations are already in the residual form we require. We simply need to expand the derivatives with the product rule:

At this point we have got 22 equations in 22 unknowns. The 22 equations are the 16 Einstein equations:

r_{\alpha \beta} = 0, \alpha = x,y,z,t, \beta = x,y,z,t

plus the 6 Maxwell equations:

r1_x = 0

r1_y = 0

r1_z = 0

r2_x = 0

r2_y = 0

r3_z = 0

And the 22 unknowns are the 16 metric tensor components g_{\alpha \beta}, \alpha = x,y,z,t, \beta = x,y,z,t plus the 6 electromagnetic field components (e_x, e_y, e_z), (b_x, b_y, b_z).

Also, recall that the only source variables in this problem are the source current densities (J^x, J^y, Y^z).

=The Geodesic Problem=

The solution will amount to the metric tensor and the electromagnetic field components being specified at all points in 4D space. In order for us to be able to visualize this space, and the bending of space that has occurred, we would need to map out the space by solving the geodesic equation for the paths of rays of light. The geodesic equation is:

\frac{d^2 x^{\alpha}}{d \rho^2} + \Gamma^{\alpha}_{\mu \nu} \frac{d x^{\mu}}{d \rho} \frac{d x^{\nu}}{d \rho} = 0

This equation is in terms of proper time \rho. The proper time \rho is different from the coordinate time t.

At this point we have covered all of the fundamental mathematics that is required. Next, we move on to describe how this problem would be solved numerically.

=The Numerical Mathematics=

The fundamental mathematics that has been covered so far is straight out of any of the accepted texts in general relativity.

Now, we discuss how the problem may be solved numerically. The 22 equations contain first derivatives of the metric tensor components and electromagnetic field components. They also contain second derivatives of the metric tensor components. We have carefully written all expressions in a form such that these first and second derivatives appear explicitly. Therefore, in a symbollic computation program such as Maple, these derivatives may be replaced with finite difference expressions; there should be no need for long partial derivative expansions.

Let us suppose that the quantity h is either one of the 16 metric tensor components, or one of the 6 field components. Let us consider first and second derivative expressions with respect to coordinates x and y in the rectangular (x,y,z,t) space in which the finite difference grid is defined.

Suitable central first derivative expressions are:

( \frac{\partial h}{\partial x} )_{ijkl} = \frac{h_{i+1,jkl} - h_{i-1,jkl}}{x_{i+1} - x_{i-1}}

( \frac{\partial h}{\partial y} )_{ijkl} = \frac{h_{i,j+1,kl} - h_{i,j-1,kl}}{y_{j+1} - y_{j-1}}

Suitable central second derivative expressions are:

Substituting finite difference expressions like these into all the first and second derivative expressions in our 22 residual equations, amounts to a set of N = 22 \times (n_x \times n_y \times n_z \times n_t) nonlinear algebraic residual equations that must be solved. This problem is going to be very large. Even with only a modest 100 grid points per dimension, the problem ends up being in terms of 2.2 billion variables.

=Boundary Conditions=

The obvious boundary condition to impose on all the grid boundary surfaces, is flat space (Minkowski space) and zero fields. Flat space is described by the metric tensor:

[g] = [g_{\alpha \beta}] = \begin{bmatrix}

+1 & & & 0 \\

& +1 & & \\

& & +1 & \\

0 & & & -1 \\

\end{bmatrix}

and zero fields are simply:

(e_x, e_y, e_z) = (0, 0, 0)

(b_x, b_y, b_z) = (0, 0, 0)

=Initial Conditions=

The obvious initial conditions are flat space and zero fields, the same as those given above, but imposed initially at all grid points.

=Problem Geometry=

The only source terms are the source current densities:

J^a = (J^x, J^y, J^z)

or in terms of a magnitude and a unit vector:

J^a = J (\hat{j}_x, \hat{j}_y, \hat{j}_z)

The source current geometry is most likely the only geometry that needs to be specified. An interesting source current geometry might be a hoop current, or two hoop currents, separate by a given distance, or possibly a helix current.

The source current direction vectors (\hat{j}_x, \hat{j}_y, \hat{j}_z) should be assigned values that describe any one of these possible current geometries. In a given time frame, a hoop current, say, will have the geometry of an ordinary hoop in ordinary 3D space. We will assume that this same hoop geometry will exist at all time frames within the simulation. Therefore, this same hoop geometry should be replicated for all time points in the 4D grid. In this way, we will have specified the source current direction vectors over 4D space. The source current direction values will have appropriate values where-ever the hoop resides in 4D space, and will be zero everywhere else.

The source current magnitude could be any function in time. It could be a non-zero constant value for all time. It could ramp up over an initial time interval and then stay constant at a non-zero value for all time there-on. There might be many interesting source current magnitude patterns that could be studied. In any event, at every point in 4D space where a non-zero source current direction vector resides, an appropriate source current magnitude should be specified.

We might want the hoop current, or the helix current, or whatever, to encircle a metal military hardware structure like a ship or an airplane. However, we may most likely ignore the geometry and the composition of such a metal structure, for purposes of our simulation. In order to bend space, we will need very very strong source current magnitudes. The very very strong electromagnetic fields that will arise as a result, will most likely take the magnetization of any metal structure way past magnetic saturation, so that for purposes of computation, the metal structure may be neglected.

=Numerical Method of Solution=

Our system of nonlinear algebraic equations could very well contain 2.2 billion variables. For a smaller problem, we might attempt a numerical solution using a Newton nonlinear method. However, in order to use this class of methods, we would need to formulate a Jacobian matrix, and we would need to solve it often. However, for a problem size on the order of 2 billion, the Jacobian matrix is likely to contain on the order of a trillion non-zero entries. Such a matrix would most likely be too large for early 21st century computers.

A simpler method that might work would be to let the problem variables relax to whatever steady-state values they will take. In order to make this happen, we would invent a hypothetical time paramter \tau. We would change our 22 residual equations to a system of coupled first order equations in time \tau

\dot{r}_{\alpha \beta} = r_{\alpha \beta}

\dot{r1}_x = r1_x

\dot{r1}_y = r1_y

\dot{r1}_z = r1_z

\dot{r2}_x = r1_x

\dot{r2}_y = r1_y

\dot{r2}_z = r1_z

The general idea is to pick a time-marching scheme that will advance these equations through our hypothetical time \tau, until all the right-hand-sides have relaxed to zero. When this occurs, the first derivatives on the left-hand-sides are also zero, meaning that the original residual equations are satisfied, and that all problem variables have relaxed to the solution values.

Perhaps a time-marching scheme as simple as the Runge Kutta Method would work here. Perhaps an adaptive Runge Kutta algorithm would be required, though perhaps a simple dumb Runge Kutta algorithm would work.

If the set of equations turned out to be a stiff set of equations, then a solution might be impossible for early 21st century computers. A time-marching scheme for stiff systems requires a Jacobian, and then we are right back to the practical limitations that made the Newton nonlinear class of methods impractical.

=Mapping the Solution Space=

Assuming that we do end up with a numerical solution to this problem, we will need to map the warped space in order to be able to view a 3D projection of it. A suitable 3D projection could be the bent paths that light rays take through the 3D space, at each and every time frame. In fact, the mappings for each time frame could be strung together into a movie so that we could watch how the space warps as time advances. This could be particularly interest if we were using a source current magnitude that ramped up from zero to a very high value strong enough to warp space.

In order to map the bent paths that light rays would take through the system, we would need to take our metric tensor solution, and use it calculate all 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 connection symbols. Then, we would use the connection symbols to formulate the geodesic equation:

\frac{d^2 x^{\alpha}}{d \rho^2} + \Gamma^{\alpha}_{\mu \nu} \frac{d x^{\mu}}{d \rho} \frac{d x^{\nu}}{d \rho} = 0

The derivatives in the geodesic equation are taken with respect to the proper time \rho. The proper time is a parameter that expresses the distance travelled along a given geodesic.

The geodesic equation is second order, and hence requires an initial coordinate and an initial velocity, for whatever geodesic we wish to calculate. For a light ray, we could pick an initial coordinate to be a point on one of the boundary surfaces. We could pick the initial velocity direction to be pointing inwards from the boundary, into the problem space, and perpendicular to the boundary surface. We would pick the velocity magnitude to be that of the speed of light. Within this unitless system, the speed of light would be of unit magnitude:

c = 1

The geodesic equation would perhaps also be solved using a Runge Kutta Method.

=Some Final Thoughts=

The body of math covered in this article would be laborious, but also straightforward, to use to construct a numerical solution of the general electromagnetic field problem arising from an arbitrary source current density distribution. The math would be useful for a very general class of applied physics problems.

However, it is hoped that this body of math will be used one day soon to clear up the mystery that has surrounded the conjectures that have been made for decades now on the Philadelphia Experiment. The math covered in this article is the genuine science behind the science fiction. A numerical solution of this problem would clarify for the world, once and for all, what would have really happened over the course of the experiment.

My own conjecture is that the math will demonstrate that the source current magnitude that it takes to bend space significantly enough for the unusual effects of general relativity to occur, would be so large that they could not be generated by man-made machinery on Earth. Quite possibly, it is only current magnitudes on the astrophysical scale, such as spinning charged stars or black holes, that will prove to be large enough.

This, however, does not make this body of math useless for man-made applications. it is quite possible that the very small general relativistic effects arising from small current source magnitudes, do or will carry some importance in the development of novel technologies.

On a practical note, in order for a computer to hold 2.2 billion variables in memory, with each variable being a 32 bit real number, the computer would have to have 70.4 Gigs of RAM. The time-marching schemes like the Runge Kutta methods, typically require that 5 or so copies of the solution vector be held in memory at any one time. For 5 copies of the solution vector, the computer would have to have 352 Gigs of RAM, meaning that for good measure this amount of memory should be doubled, so that a computer having on the order of 700 Gigs of RAM would be necessary to solve this problem.

That is one powerful and mighty computer that is required. But this is, after-all, the 21st century, and these are the sorts of applied physics problems that it is time to attempt.

  • How fat he may be is totally irrelevant to any article about him. The rest pretty much says: "Zanger Bob is a singer" (which is self-evident for Dutch people). This would most likely be speedy deleted for lack of context. What does he sing? Did he make the charts and if so, where? Why is he known? Any CDs out? Please read WP:NMG for further ideas of things to include or read any good article about a singer. - Mgm|(talk) 09:18, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Declined. This suggestion doesn't sufficiently explain the importance or significance of the subject. See the speedy deletion criteria A7 and/or guidelines on biographies. Please provide more information on why the person or group is worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. Thank you. -- kenb215 talk 05:13, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
