Also, the two tetrahedrons are out of phase with each other by 90 degrees--the same phase relationship we see with space and time.
This indicates that space and time, the material and cosmic sectors, are very closely linked and that the Euclidean geometry that Larson postulated is actually a by-product of the linkage of space and time. It can be deduced as a consequence--doesn't need to be postulated at all!
I did a graphic representation; see attached. Red tetrahedron represents the material sector (space/time); the green tetrahedron represents the cosmic sector (time/space); the white cube is the linkage that results between them, generating three axial dimensions.
The idea is pretty simple... rather than using photons to knock electrons from atoms into the conduction band, you use photons to knock electrons out of the quantum foam, into the conduction band. Virtually every photon produces a conductive electron, pushing near 100% efficiency. I haven't figure out what material yet.bperet wrote:Look forward to reading about this. Is the panel made of elements other than silicon? I read that there's been a shortage of silicon for making solar panels so a non-silicon panel would be ideal.Quantum foam has been looked at; I just haven't gotten around to putting my notes out on the forum/site. I had this idea to make a "quantum foam solar panel".

A very interesting thought... Nehru and I looked at tetrahedral relationships back in 2003; I think they are in the "Time Region Speeds" thread. I did some experimenting, and came up with this:The expanding grid model looks right except that shouldn't the grid be based on equilateral triangle/tetrahedral to separate the absolute locations? That way they are all equidistant.
