The Sine Function Is Not A Wave! What Is It?
There is no other way either science or mathematics can be right, valid, and useful comprehensively if we do not change our current dogma in physics, engineering, and mathematics that merrily claims that the sine function is a wave, and light and radiation of any kind is some electromagnetic wave in any or all media.
Claiming that modern science and modern mathematics are rooted in Europe, Middle-East, wrapped by Greco-Roman background is very problematic. For example, Euclid’s geometry does not and cannot help with real science and mathematics comprehensively.
Dr. Alan Rayner recognized such fundamental problems decades ago. I myself was not comfortable with the sine function described as a wave taking the helm of physics and electrical engineering – explaining the gist of radio and fiber-optic communication systems. Quantum physics is also using similar blunders by starting with the misunderstanding of the so-called Schrodinger Wave Equation.
A group of us in the Natural Inclusion Community are working together to bring better ways of understanding and conducting science by means of natural and fluid mathematics and physics.
Our recent collaboration led Alan to write this marvelous poem, “No Other Way”.
In the above video, I bring you Alan’s “No Other Way” and we hope that you appreciate this poem or chronicle. There is however a realistic way to conduct better science using better mathematics. We can help! Interested people can contact me.
About Dr Nisa Khan: Author of the important new book, Nisa Khan received her bachelor’s degree in physics and mathematics from Macalester College, St. Paul, Minnesota, USA, her master’s and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA. During her studies, she worked as a research associate at Honeywell Solid State Research Center in Bloomington, Minnesota for 9 years. After completing her doctorate, she became a member of technical staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories (now Alcatel Lucent) in Holmdel, New Jersey, where she spent most of her 6 years in the Photonics Research Laboratory at Crawford Hill doing pioneering work on 40-Gb/s optoelectronic and integrated photonic devices. After that she worked on optical communication subsystems at several other companies including her own venture-backed start-ups in New Jersey.

Physics has had nothing to do with reality since it decided to ignore Galileo’s experiments showing falling objects had nothing to do with mass and accept Newton’s assertion that it was a function of mass. Kepler’s Law that was the basis for Newton’s theory has no connection to mass. The Law of gravity is contradicted by the elliptical orbits of satellites.
All visible objects radiate both electrical fields from matter and an attractive force from energy. These two forces have opposite actions that cause any change in strength of a force to produce waves.
When similar charges get closer the strength of the radiated electric force gets stronger. When similar magnetic poles get closer, the strength of the radiated radiated attractive force declines. As an attractive energy force brings objects closer the repulsion between the objects electric forces increases producing a wave as the forces radiate4d by objects seek equilibrium. The interaction between object does not involve their mass, which is in their nucleuses, but with the fields they radiate.

Hi Dr Nisa Khan, Herb, and any other PSI READERS,
Have any of you ever heard, or read, the word–CHEMISTRY–or the word–ATOM?
Have a good day

I don’t do science with guesses or inclinations. So I will not comment on the comments here.
But what I would like to add here is the following:
I hope that my bombshell on the most popular sine function depicted as a wave in academia and industry circles is getting all to think crucially around the inadequate science and mathematics we have been taught.
Admitting to the sine function depicted as only a convenient abstract way to do physics and engineering is not a good excuse.
The crucial question is, “Is there a realistic sine function in the 3D spatial world we live in over time?” If so, what is it?
The second question is “Why is the sine function called a ‘sine’ function?”
Please don’t tell me that Al-Khwarizmi or al-Biruni or some other Middle-Eastern scholars dubbed it this way or the lovely Latin language decided to call it a ‘sine’ function for no good reason. What the heck does ‘sine’ mean and should it have a meaning in science and humanity? If so, what should it mean and what was the original sine function called and what did it mean?
Interested people or media can work with us to establish a proper education system, from high school on – to Ph.D. levels.
Signing and sine-ing off!
Dr. Nisa Khan

The only beings to fully understand mathematics are the beings that created it, whom ever or what ever they are.

Hi VOWG,
You ask “Will any of it change my life?” I cannot predict the future but I can tell you that it has it has changed the present. For I believe you will have to agree that that without the invention of even NUMBERS all humans would be living no differently than they were living before they invented numbers. And as the HIGHER mathematics were invented their living conditions got progressively better. And I believe most people understand NUMBERS.
Have a good day
