Publications and Papers: Common Sense Science publishes much of it's work in the form of conference papers and white papers that are available on their website. The titles, abstracts and links to download the most important articles and papers are available below. Note: The papers represent a "work in progress" and newer material supersedes older work. In general, the newer material is more detailed, more comprehensive and more accurate, but in some cases it may actually contradict some aspects of earlier work. In addition, many aspects of the model are incomplete and sometimes the researchers are not in complete agreement with each other's findings. These are signs of progress and to be expected when tackling such a large body of material. Some of the older works are still available because they contain valuable background on the development of the model.

Derivation
of
the Universal Force Law - Part 4 Charles W. Lucas, Jr. Feb 2007 |
Derivation of the Universal Force Law (4 Parts): A new universal electromagnetic force law for real finite-size elastic charged particles is derived by solving simultaneously the fundamental empirical laws of classical electrodynamics, i.e. Gauss's laws, Ampere's generalized law, Faraday's law, and Lenz's law assuming Galilean invariance. This derived version of the electromagnetic force law incorporates the effects of the self-fields of real finite-size size elastic particles as observed in particle scattering experiments. It can account for gravity, inertia, and relativistic effects including radiation and radiation reaction. The non-radial terms of the force law explain the experimentally observed curling of plasma currents, the tilting of the orbits of the planets with respect to the equatorial plane of the sun, and certain inertial gyroscope motions. The derived force law satisfies Newton's third law, conservation of energy and momentum, conservation of charge, and Mach's Principle. The mathematical properties of equations for the fundamental empirical laws and also Hooper's experiments showing that the fields of a moving charge move with the charge require that the electrodynamic force be a contact force based on field extensions of the charge instead of action-at-a-distance. The Lorenz force is derived from Galilean invariance. The most general form of the force law, derived using all the higher order terms of the Galilean transformation , is assumed to be exact for all phenomena on all size scales. Arguments are given that this force law is superior to all previous force laws, I.e. relativistic quantum electrodynamics, gravitation, inertial, strong interaction and weak, interaction force laws. |

Fine-Structure
Properties
of the Electron, Proton and Neutron David L. Bergman Feb 2006 |
Fine-Structure Properties of the Electron, Proton and Neutron: Using the helicon model, properties of the electron, proton and neutron were calculated and updated, accurate to about five significant figures. The Helicon Model of Elementary particles makes highly successful predictions based on the partitioning and conservation of energy and accurately accounts for all mass, energy and angular momentum (spin) without necessitating the insertion of a neutrino. A new analysis of neutron beta-decay shows the physical mechanisms at work inside the neutron before, during and after disintegration by emission of the electron. |

Electrons:
A mathematical model (the Schrödinger
Equation)
and a physical model
(Spinning Charged Ring Model) of the electron are
compared for their
ability to predict waves emitted by electrons. Although it is a fundamental postulate of Quantum Mechanics, the Schrödinger Equation does not allow for an interpretation of wave-functions as physical waves, cannot be a complete theoretical description of a micro physical system, neglects intrinsic characteristics of particle motion, and fails in several other ways to correspond to physical reality. The Ring Model of Electrons makes accurate and complete predictions of fields and waves by using the locations and internal motions of charge elements that make up the electron in order to determine the external fields of the electron. The physical Ring Model, compliant with the law of cause and effect, explains the meaning of Planck's Constant and accurately predicts the Photoelectric Effect, wavelengths of hydrogen line spectra, blackbody radiation, and the Compton Wavelength. An unbiased assessment of these facts implies that electrons are small physical particles that closely resemble the Spinning Charged Ring Model, and these electrons are a source of electromagnetic waves. |

Particles
(Part 2): A
new classical electrodynamics approach is presented
in this paper to
explain the existence of all the observed elementary
particles, their
internal symmetries, their principal decay modes and
their principal

the plasma physics
experiments of Winston Bostick with plasmons that
indicate how
continuous charge-fibers exist without radiating

Introduction Charles W. Lucas, Jr. Nov 2004 |
A
Classical Electromagnetic Theory of Elementary
Particles (Part 1): At
the beginning of the Twentieth Century,
the electron,
proton, and neutron were discovered and identified
experimentally. From
cosmic ray experiments and accelerator experiments,
this initially
satisfying list of elementary particles has been
expanded to include
six spin-½
leptons, nine spin-½
baryons, four spin-3/2 baryons, twenty
spin-0 pseudo-scalar
mesons, and seven
spin-1 vector mesons, plus the antiparticles of
each. The first theoretical approach to order all of these particles in a systematic way in terms of certain internal symmetry properties was the Standard Model of Elementary Particles. It was based upon six hypothetical unobserved spin-½ particles called 'quarks'. All of the heavy elementary particles called hadrons are formed from these quarks. In this model the strong interaction is mediated by the exchange of gluons, the electromagnetic interaction is mediated by the exchange of photons, and the weak interaction is mediated by the exchange of W± and Z0 particles. In the Standard Model, use of the Higgs mechanism for symmetry breaking allowed the electromagnetic and weak force to be combined into the electroweak force. In a similar way the Higgs mechanisms allows the strong interaction to be unified with the electroweak. An attempt to unify all of the forces in nature, including the gravitational force, has lead to a string theory of 26 dimensions that can be represented by a ten-dimensional rotating string theory assuming supersymmetry. One of these dimensions is time. Both the Standard Model and the Superstring Model of Elementary Particles are closely integrated with cosmology and the Big Bang Theory of the origin of the universe. This approach represents the earth and the universe as very old compared to Biblical revelation. Furthermore, there is no role for God in creating or daily sustaining the universe. The universe supposedly came about as a chance quantum fluctuation that produced the "big bang". According to this approach, the design of the universe is inherent in the properties of the elementary particles that resulted from the "big bang". All matter and life itself are built from these elementary particles. Their inherent properties are supposed to determine the design of all matter and the nature of living things. |
The
Law
of Cause and Effect Dominant
Principle of Classical Physics David L. Bergman and Glen C. Collins Aug 2005 |
The Law of Cause and Effect: For thousands of years, the law of cause and effect guided scientific inquiry. In fact, the history of the concept of causality can be traced through Hebrew, Babylonian, Greek and European cultures. Certain Greek philosophers, however, introduced the atomistic concept of chance-events to oppose the common-sense application of causality. The resulting conflict between cause versus chance has not only shaped the history of science but has imposed lasting effects on Western culture as a whole. This conflict intensified during the Twentieth Century as the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (HUP) became the leading tool of the proponents of chance. More recent findings have now demonstrated that the HUP fails in six actual cases. Common Sense Science counters chance-based philosophy by returning to causality and other principles of Classical Science such as the conservation of energy and the use of physical finite-sized models for fundamental particles (e.g., the electron). This paper shows how physical models based on the laws of electricity and magnetism fully implement the law of cause and effect in the manner of the four causes required by Aristotle. Chance-based physics is exposed as false science based on erroneous assumptions about supposed chance-events instead of causal relationships. |

and Size of Electron, Proton and Neutron David L. Bergman May 2004 |
Observations of the Properties of Physical Entities (Part 2): Part 2 cites and presents experimental data that reveal the existence, shape, and size of electrons, protons and neutrons. The Helicon Model of Elementary Particles is defined as a toroidal helical structure of charge fibers (one or more) that account for the electromagnetic energy (excited states) of elementary particles. The helicon is a physical model of a durable particle with specific geometry that describes its shape and size. A careful interpretation of scattering experiments performed by Arthur Compton and Robert Hofstadter gives precise agreement with the thin, flexible ring predicted by the Helicon Model. Plasma experiments of Winston Bostick, and S.C. Hsu and P.M. Bellan, provide additional data that support the Helicon Model of Elementary Particles. |

of the Physical World David L. Bergman Feb 2004 |
Observations of the Properties of Physical Entities (Part 1): Knowledge of nature has been acquired through common experiences and controlled laboratory experiments. When the order of physical encounters becomes evident, the expected outcomes of physical events and processes are formulated into general concepts, axioms, and laws of nature to provide understanding of the nature of things in the universe. Observations of the properties of physical entities divide simply into two groups: general concepts called "laws" and specific features of entities called "properties". Part 1 of this report deals with the laws - leaving the properties for a later report. In Part 1, the laws of nature are listed, referenced, and explained in relation to the Ring Model and the Standard Model of Elementary Particles. |
Unification
of
Physics Theory of Everything David L. Bergman Nov 2003 |
Unification
of
Physics - Theory of Everything:
The main goal of Common
Sense Science is to develop a unified theory that
explains the
structure of matter and predicts its motions by a
single force law. A
Theory of Everything has broad appeal among
physicists: "Many
scientists now believe that a TOE is a distinct
possibility in the near
future. It would be prudent, then, to ask just what
one might expect of
a theory that seems to cover 'everything' in its
wake. Davies and Brown
have considered just this question (Davies and
Brown,
Superstrings, A Theory of Everything).
Their criteria are simple. A
TOE must explain (1) matter, (2) the forces
affecting matter, and
finally (3) the space-time framework of matter as
well as unify the
quantum and relativity theories... The foremost task
in theoretical
physics must be to unify the quantum and relativity,
the discrete and
continuous aspects of physical reality and
nature...[1]" |

the Photoelectric Effect Charles W. Lucas, Jr. Aug 2003 |
A
Physical Model for
Atoms and Nuclei
(4 Parts):
A physical geometrical packing model
for the structure of the atom was developed [1-8]
based on the physical
toroidal ring model of elementary particles proposed
by Bergman [9].
From the physical characteristics of real electrons
experimentally
determined by Compton [10-12] this work derived,
using combinatorial
geometry, the number of electrons that pack into the
various physical
shells about the nucleus in agreement with the
observed structure of
the Periodic Table of the Elements. The constraints
used in the
combinatorial geometry derivation were based upon
simple but
fundamental ring dipole magnet experiments and
spherical symmetry. From
a magnetic basis the model explained the physical
origin of the valence
electrons for chemical binding and the reasons why
the Periodic Table
has only seven periods. |
