Yesterday I finally looked into the so called Majorana equation and it is easy to find where the Dutch universities have gone wrong. At the technical universities in Delft and Eindhoven they use electrons together with a hole that supposedly has a positive electrical charge so that the overall combination of electron and hole is electrically neutral.

And it is very easy to explain: If I am in the right and electrons also carry magnetic charge, the above constellation of an electron and a hole is not magnetically neutral like, for example, the Cooper pairs of electrons in super conductivity.

They want unpaired electrons because the Cooper pairs live there in the nano wire where the super conductivity is so they do not consider an electron pair together with two holes because that is both magnetic and electrically neutral…

No, I do not think that in Delft they found the elusive Majorana fermion. But time will tell because if this way of quantum computing will keep on failing or never get anywhere, I can use that as a future reason of why electrons cannot be magnetic dipoles.

Here is a wiki about the Majorana equation, already at equation number 2 I am lost in the woods because the mass m suddenly goes to the other term in the equation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majorana_equation

And here is a short video from Youtube where the technical university of Eindhoven explains how they will try to prove the existence of the Majorana fermion as a quasi particle. The video is from 23 August 2017, that is only four and a half months ago.

From the wiki we have this information, what the differential operator with the ‘Feynman slash’ does is actually not important at all. The nice thing here is to understand what they try of find here:
A particle (or a collection of particles, the quasi particles) where all charge is compensated. Apperently the mass related to charge comes in with opposite charge and indeed if you can find solutions to such a wave equation you might hope to find it one day.

Yet in Delft and Eindhoven they hang on to the opinion that electrons are magnetic dipoles and as such they never had a need to put the ‘anti part’ of the magnetic dipole into the problem…

That was more or less what I had to say about the Majorana equation.
Of course I also wish you a happy new year! Till updates.

Already for a few years the folks at the university of Delft are trying to make a quantum computer. They even teamed up with Microsoft and as memory serves the Dutch government is investing about 100 million € over the course of 10 years.

Only recently I dived into that Delft stuff and the spokeswoman from Microsoft was even talking about a Nobel prize for Leo Kouwenhoven because he seemed to have discovered so called Majorana fermions.

And I just felt sooooo proud that my fellow Dutch guy Leo who is sooooo ultrasmart would have a chance of winning such a prestigious prize like the Nobel prize. I will never get a Nobel prize for my stupid finding of the magnetic monopoles, come on that is not important because I am not a university person and Leo is a full blown physics professor.

After having said that it is nice to observe that the Delft team is trying to craft quantum computer with qubits made from Majorana fermions. So what are Majorana fermions because they have never been found since a guy named Ettore Majorana speculated about stuff like that in 1937? Well these are fermions that are their own anti particle.

It is well known that when you have a particle with a particular charge, the anti particle must have the opposite charge. Now our Leo Kouwenhoven genius from the Delft university is putting an electron into entanglement with an electron hole and as such it has no electrical charge if the electron hole has a positive electrical charge.

Furthermore since an electron entangled with a hole is only like half a fermion they cannot exist on their own so our genius folks from Delft figured out that two of those quasi particles would form a Majorana fermion.

Here is a Youtube video of about one hour long where our super hero Leo explains it all:

Majorana Fermions: Particle Physics on a Chip- Leo Kowenhoven – May 28 2015

Anyway, to make a long story short:

The Majorana particles as found by the heroic members of the Dutch university of Delft have a tiny problem: the electrons carry also magnetic charge beside the electrical charge. So a quasi particle made up of an electron and an electron hole cannot have the Majorana property of being it’s own anti particle…

So my estimation is rather simple: As long as the Delft hero’s keep on ignoring that electrons carry also magnetic charge, they will not succeed. On the contrary they will fail and very likely they will keep on failing because they are university people.

Too much money and too much titles & prestige, why should they change and get a more realistic view on quantum computing?

Before we split, here is a wiki on Majorana fermions. For me it is new that when a fermion is it’s own anti particle the wave function is real valued and not complex valued. As a take away you can also conclude that the Delft hero’s also got the wave function of the electron and electron hole completely wrong. Just like all those people in the science of chemistry who cannot model even the hydrogen molecule properly. So the chemistry people say ‘We need quantum computers’ and Leo Kouwenhoven says ‘I have great ideas in topological quantum computing!’

In my view these people are all crazy, but here is the wiki stuff on Majorana fermions:

Till the next post.

In a nice article there are three people explaining, for example, electron spin. The reason to post this here is because they are in climbing order of stupidity and explainer number three gives a total retarded explanation.

Recall once more that the name electron spin is one hundred percent misleading because of what we know of the size of the electron it should certainly be rotating much faster than the speed of light even if all electrical charge was concentrated on the equator of the electron.

I hope that by now my dear reader you know that I think electrons carry beside electrical charge also magnetic charge and as such they come in two flavours:
1) Electrons with a negative electrical charge and a north magnetic charge and;
2) Electrons with a negative electrical charge and a south magnetic charge.

Because particles with mass cannot mover faster than the speed of light, all explanations based on the electron spinning are wrong by definition. Therefore it is often said that electrons (and also protons and neutrons) have so called intrinsic spin so the rotation problem can be avoided.

It has to be remarked once more that this is about the fourth year I am writing about electrons having magnetic charge and that as such they are the long sought magnetic monopoles, but until now I have zero reactions from only one of those professional physics professors… That abundantly shows how dumb they actually are and that there is little use in trying to write a real publication because it is still totally impossible to pass the so called ‘peer review barrier’. I mean; read the quotes I will post from these three people as found in the Scientific American and suppose they would be the ones that do the peer review of my article. What would happen?
Very simple: It will be rejected.

Let’s get started, here is the title and link to the small article in the Scientific American:

What exactly is the ‘spin’ of subatomic particles such as electrons and protons? Does it have any physical significance, analogous to the spin of a planet?
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-exactly-is-the-spin/

The first quote is from Morton Tavel, quote:

“Unfortunately, the analogy breaks down, and we have come to realize that it is misleading to conjure up an image of the electron as a small spinning object. Instead we have learned simply to accept the observed fact that the electron is deflected by magnetic fields. If one insists on the image of a spinning object, then real paradoxes arise; unlike a tossed softball, for instance, the spin of an electron never changes, and it has only two possible orientations. In addition, the very notion that electrons and protons are solid ‘objects’ that can ‘rotate’ in space is itself difficult to sustain, given what we know about the rules of quantum mechanics. The term ‘spin,’ however, still remains.”

Comment: From the macroscopic world we do not observe much ‘deflection’ of, let’s say, bar magnets in the presence of other magnets and magnetic fields. If electrons really were magnetic dipoles, because electrons are so small all magnetic forces would cancel out and we would never observe deflection.
And if Morton Tavel would have done some calculations or estimations, it is extremely hard for electrons to get deflected by non-constant magnetic fields. On the contrary, you need magnetic fields with a gradient of millions of Tesla’s per meter in order to accelerate the electron with only one meter per second squared…
No idea is smarthead Morton Tavel will ever read these words I write about him, but in reason number 50 I did such an estimation. Here is the link:

___________

Let’s proceed with the second physics professional, his name is Kurt T. Bachmann and here is the quote from the wisdom he has to share:

“Starting in the 1920s, Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach of the University of Hamburg in Germany conducted a series of important atomic beam experiments. Knowing that all moving charges produce magnetic fields, they proposed to measure the magnetic fields produced by the electrons orbiting nuclei in atoms. Much to their surprise, however, the two physicists found that electrons themselves act as if they are spinning very rapidly, producing tiny magnetic fields independent of those from their orbital motions. Soon the terminology ‘spin’ was used to describe this apparent rotation of subatomic particles.

“Spin is a bizarre physical quantity. It is analogous to the spin of a planet in that it gives a particle angular momentum and a tiny magnetic field called a magnetic moment.

Comment: It is important to know that the original SG experiment was done with evaporated silver ions, this beam of silver ions was split in two parts by just a few unpaired electrons. If the professionals would do the calculations they would find this cannot be explained by inhomogeneous magnetic fields. The fact that no one says this makes clear they have never done the calculations needed…
That is the same as a carpenter that refuses to use the handsaw when needed or simply states: I do not need a screw driver, I just talk to these screws until the matter is resolved. Normally the carpenter would get fired but all those physics professors are glued to their seats living in ‘academic freedom’.

__________

The third person is truly 100% crazy, the term ‘intrinsic spin’ for the electron was used in order to avoid the problems with the spinning of an electron. And what does this weirdo named Victor J. Stenger make from this? Quoting this idiot:

“Spin is the total angular momentum, or intrinsic angular momentum, of a body. The spins of elementary particles are analogous to the spins of macroscopic bodies. In fact, the spin of a planet is the sum of the spins and the orbital angular momenta of all its elementary particles. So are the spins of other composite objects such as atoms, atomic nuclei and protons (which are made of quarks).

“In classical physics, angular momentum is a continuous variable. In quantum mechanics, angular momenta are discrete, quantized in units of Planck’s constant divided by 4 pi. Niels Bohr proposed that angular momentum is quantized in 1913 and used this to explain the line spectrum of hydrogen.

Comment: This is so utterly stupid it is hard to comment upon. By talking about intrinsic angular momentum he only shows that he thinks the electron is spinning. So he is a nutjob for sure.

Ok, end of this post without pictures but with three idiots as found in the Scientific American. Now some people might think I better be a little bit more diplomatic but from 1992 until 2012 I was very very diplomatic about higher dimensional number and thought that if you give people time enough that in the end they will do the right thing.

Two decades of diplomacy are gone, now I know that when confronted with idiots you better explain why they are idiots…

See you in the next post my dear reader.
