Conditions at the Extremes

Careful reading of the chapter on Coulomb's law in my book reveals to the reader that things will actually start behaving different from Coulomb's law under extreme conditions.

In the chapter, I deliberately use an enormous grid and very few neutrinos in order to explain the electrical force. This is because a large number of neutrinos coming together through a small grid would not produce Coulomb's law. It would produce a much more elaborate probability function.

Let us for simplicity say that the grid is only 2 by 2 holes large, and that 1 neutrino was launched from each side. That would give us a 1 in 4 chance of a collision.

However, if we increase the neutrino bombardment to be 3 from each side, the net result is obviously not going to give us more than 1 in probability, which we would get if we simply multiplied 3 by 3 and divided it by 4, as Coulomb's law would have us do.

Therefore, under extreme conditions, the effectiveness of increasing the charge of two plates will be lower than Coulomb's law predicts.

The same is probably true about the equation that relates the speed of light to electric permittivity and the magnetic constant.

Under normal conditions, the speed of light is a direct function of the availability of neutrinos and photons. From this, it was possible to derive the astonishing result that there would be no space if there are no neutrinos, and that there would be no time in the absence of photons.

But surely, the space between neutrinos and photons cannot be completely space-less and timeless. The particles are moving at the speed of light through this empty void. The correct interpretations of the formula for the speed of light may therefore more correctly be that there can be no registered time in the absence of photons, and no measurable distance in the absence of neutrinos.

Also, under extreme conditions, the relationship between the speed of light and the forces of nature may break down in much the same way that the Velcro model predicts that Coulomb's law will break down in the presence of extreme numbers of neutrinos.
