The Grand Unification of Physics.

Under Construction—I am making a major new revision—starting on 1/28/2014—it will take weeks. For now, to get to the old web pages, please click here.

This website covers: “What is time?”, the Grand Unification of physics, a fusion energy breakthrough, DOAWGs, a new type of astronomy, spherical electromagnetic waves, & many other interesting topics.

Do you think of time as a mystery? Have you ever wondered what time is? If you have, the no-nonsense answer is here. Why go through life without understanding time?

I have developed a Grand Unification Theory. I call it, “The Ball-of-Light Particle Model.” (It led to patents for a new type of fusion reactor and a new method of superconductivity.)

If you enjoy thinking about physics, you will enjoy this section. It covers: time, space, grand unification, spherical electromagnetic waves, & many other topics.

This new physics leads to many intriguing new ideas in astronomy. If correct, astonomy is headed for big changes.

Understanding time & grand unification enabled me to engineer of a new type of fusion energy power plant. The physics explains why previous designs did not work & why these designs will work.

NFT is short for Nordberg Fusion Technologies, Inc. This is a planned Research & Development company for developing and licensing my fusion reactor & superconductor patents.

This section covers water. A new technology is discussed—Desert Oasification Atmospheric Water Generators (DOAWG). DOAWG collect water in hot deserts & will help solve global warming.

This section covers a wide range of other topics.

This page has the complete list of links to topics on the history, physics and philosophy of time.

Are you in a hurry? Do you want to know what time is, but don't have a lot of it right now. Here you will discover for yourself the short explanation of time. It is simple, easy, and to the point.

I understand. Sooner or later, everybody wants to know what time is — but some people are more visual and auditory — they prefer videos.

I have authored 3 books on time: What is time?; The solution to the question, “What is time?”; and an upcoming book, Time and Grand Unification.

When it comes to understanding time, understanding a small amount of logic is critical. The key details can be found here.

The History of Time? (That is an odd phrase!) A better understanding of time involves understanding the history of time.

Believe it or not, part of the mystery of time is all about adding fractions. (This is fundamental for physicists.)

Most scientists still make mistakes when they add two motions. (You can be the first on your block to understand how to correctly add two motions together!)

This is not a complete review of Special Relativity. It is an explanation that is based upon understanding time. The Speed-of-Light Definition of Time is actually a variation of Special Relativity.

In Relativity you find the Lorentz Factor everywhere. This bit of math confuses people. An understanding of time makes understanding this bit of math easy.

How did I make the breakthrough? It involves showing the geometrical relationship between the Lorentz Factor, Special Relativity, and The Speed-of-Light Definition of Time.

The complete list of topics on Grand Unification Theories — “GUTs” for short. They are also called Theories of Everything — “TOEs” for short.

An introduction to Grand Unification Theories.

The key logic that you need to understand.

The key parts of geometry to know.

Yes the debate on “space” continues, however, most of the issues have been solved. Includes: Sir Isaac Newton's famous “pail experiment.”

Everyone thinks about “four dimensional space-time.” When you understand time, there is a huge breakthrough in this area.

“Absolute” versus “Relative.” Includes: “Absolute Space,” “Rest Mass,” “Absolute Time,” “Absolute Motion,” the Potential Energy of a particle within the Universe, and more.

Einstein tried to explain and unify gravity with General Relativity. He tried to weave gravity into space. The Ball-of-Light Particle Model puts it back into the particle were it belongs.

A good overview of General Relativity. What you should know. What is wrong. Everything is not relative! Includes a variation on Newton's famous “pail experiment.”

Introduction to balls of light. (They are not plasmoids you know!)

A step-by-step explanation of how to think of spherical waves, and how to make spherical waves. Includes decay modes.

This table is a complete construction — like “blue prints” — of all the variations of “Balls-of-Light.” How to build: photons, neutrinos, electrons, and other elementary particles.

The complete list of topics on physics. In general, there are no long explanations of traditional physics. Topics emphasize problems, controversies, and unified solutions.

Understanding Reference Frames is important for understanding physics. (Don't skip this.)

Explains the building blocks of physics — the Basic Units. How to improve basic units.

Covers how to correctly measure lengths, and how to correctly measure motions. Simple, yet critical!

Covers the major philosophical, mathematical, and physical ideas you need for understanding space and space-time.

Recaps the basic of waves. Expands on the topic by introducing spherical waves.

The complete list of topics on Astronomy.

A recap of current cosmology. Topics covering how understanding time and the Ball-of-Light Particle model affects cosmology.

A recap of the current theory of the Big Bang. Topics covering how understanding time and the Ball-of-Light Particle model affects Big Bang Theory.

If the Ball-of-Light Particle Model is correct, then the current theory of Galaxy Formation is completely wrong. This is a very interesting topic.

If the Ball-of-Light Particle Model is correct, the current theory of star formation — & and the Standard Solar Model — is completely wrong. Includes a new solar model. A very interesting topic.

A new explanation for: the structure of stars, the core a star, solar activity, sunspots, predicting solar activity, and numerous “problems” with the Standard Solar Model. Also, “The Stability of Stars.”

Many topics: solar activity, sunspots, solar satellites, the Solar Neutrino Problem, GONG observations, SOHO observations, and much more. Explaining the extreme temperature of the sun's corona.

Solar activity is very interesting. Our sun's solar activity is a function of its wobble — not due to “magnetic reconnection.” However, according to Standard Solar Model, this is impossible.

The idea of “Infinite Density” is compared to the idea of “Maximum Density.” Also covers ”Degenerate Matter.” These topics are critical to understanding all major objects in astronomy.

If the Ball-of-Light Particle Model is correct, then Quasars are extremely massive balls-of-light — not black holes consuming stars. In essence, they are massive decaying elementary particles.

If the Ball-of-Light Particle Model is correct, then Pulsars are balls-of-light with a large spherical electromagnetic wave sweeping back-an-forth over its surface. If so, current pulsar theory is wrong.

If the Ball-of-Light Particle Model is correct, then White Dwarfs are very massive balls-of-light ejected from the cores of galaxies — essentially they are massive decaying elementary particles.

If the Ball-of-Light Particle Model is correct, then Neutron Stars are examples of balls-of-light with “maximum density.” Essentially, they are “single particles” not a compressed collection of neutrons.

If the Ball-of-Light Particle Model is correct, “Black Holes” don't exist. What exists instead are extremely massive elementary particles — left over from the Big Bang! A significantly different theory.

If the Ball-of-Light Particle Model is correct, then variable stars are pulsating balls-of-light. This is a very interesting topic that directly relates to engineering nuclear fusion reactors.

Planetary nebulae provide direct observational evidence for the Ball-of-Light Particle Model. Many interesting topics, including how they are made or “electromagnetically induced,” and “Ansae.”

Introduction to topics on: fusion, nuclear fusion energy, and nuclear fusion power plants.

A revised view of how fusion works in stars — based upon the Ball-of-Light Particle Model.

“MHD” stands for “magnetohydrodynamics.” This critical bit of plasmas science shows how fusion energy can be converted directly to electrical energy in a fusion power plant.

Fusion Instabilities destroy the stability of a magnetically confined plasma. An overview of “traditional” instabilities. Introduction to “spherical instabilities.”

The “Lawson Criterion” estimates the conditions for successful fusion. Topics include an explanation of how spherical waves can be used dramatically affect the criterion, enabling successful fusion.

Desalination is expensive an inefficient. There is an alternative. A technology similar to dehumidifiers, but much larger and more efficient can pull massive amounts of water out of the atmosphere.

Rain comes from the humidity in the air. The key is a cold front. DOAWGs make a constant cold front, allowing a constant rain in hot, humid conditions.

Healthy soil contains large amounts of carbon — e.g., microbes, plant life, animal life, and charcoal. Sterile soil contains little or no carbon. Improper farming releases carbon into the atmosphere.

This section explains how Desert Oasification Atmospehric Water Generators work.

Tera Preta — or, black earth — is an extremely fertile type of carbon enriched soil in the Amazon basin — made by humans between roughly 2,000 to 1,000 years ago. We neeed to reinvent Tera Preta.

Hot and humid deserts can be transformed into grasslands, savannas, farmlands, even tropical rainforest, providing food and animal habitat — and sequestering massive amounts of carbon.

DOAWGs need to be tested and optimized. A program is needed in the US. It is recommended that these tests are performed in drought stricken areas of Texas and Oklahoma.

The Mega Lake Chad Basin — mainly in Niger, and Chad — would be an ideal area to test DOAWGS. This region could become the breadbasket of Africa — and provide new habitat for endangered species.

This section describes a proposed experiment for the Mega Lake Chad Basin. It includes the goals for oasification of certain amounts of the desert.

Extracting water from the atmosphere in hot, humid deserts has many benefits. Oasification is obvious. An indirect benefit is how this will extract massive amounts of carbon from the atmosphere.

Areas of the American southwest are experiencing long-term drought conditions. The list of related problems is huge. A simple solution for humid areas is implementing DOAWGS.

Plant life and microbial soil life act as important water reservoirs. So-called experts of forest fire management are consistently making grave mistakes by destroying these water reservoirs.

Help is needed by a wide variety of people with a wide variety of skills. I did not patent DOAWGs. People can build them on their own now. Research is needed. Businesses should be started.

Earthquakes

Earthquake — Introduction

Are you aware that earthquakes can be predicted? Maybe not as well as everybody would like, but a lot better than is generally known.

At this time, seismologists use seismometers to predict earthquakes. Essentially, this old technology works at the speed of sound.

A new method can be used to predict which days are more likely to have earthquakes, and a new technology can be used to electronically detect and predict the real-time danger of real-time breaking rock. Essentially, this new technology works at the speed of light.

A New Earthquake Warning System

I propose a new earthquake warning system be developed. It will use both the old seismometers and the new electronic sensors. It will use an fuzzy logic built into the upgradable software to analyze the current risk. It will broadcast the information on old systems like radio and TV, and new systems like the internet, cell phones, and smart watches.

Summary of my old Earthquake Warning data

My Statistics on Predicting High Risk Dates for Killer Earthquakes

Yearly Earthquake Charts:

As of 6/4/2004, I have totaled the numbers for people killed by earthquakes from 2000 through 2004. These numbers are provided by the United States Geological Service. In column 1 is the year. In column 2 is the total number of deaths from earthquakes during my Earthquake Watches. In column 3 is the total number of deaths from earthquakes. In column 4 is the percent of deaths during Earthquake Watches.

Year	Deaths during my Earthquake Watches	Total Deaths	Percent During Watches
2000	198	231	85.7%
2001	21,030	21,357	98.5%
2002	301	1,685	17.9%
2003	26,434	29,019	91.1%
2004	(As of 6/4/2004) 645 (Year not tallied yet.)	715	90.2%
2005	Tsunami ~283,100 (Year not tallied yet.)	~283,100	not yet calc
2006	5,858	6,698	87.5%
2007	697	712	97.9%
2008	248 (Large China quake did not occur during Watch.)	69,612	0.4%
2009
Totals & Percent	338,511	413,129	81.9%

Professional seismologists would consider me an amateur or even a crackpot. They publicly scorn and ridicule any attempts at predicting dates of higher risk for earthquakes. In some places, there are even laws prohibiting predicting earthquakes. This seems ridiculous to me. What would you think if meteorologists analyzed the weather — especially for hurricanes, dangerous thunderstorms, and tornadoes — and then just simply did not tell the public about their predictions?

If you live in an area that has a high risk for earthquakes, I will leave it up to you to decide if there is a correlation in my assessments for earthquake risks.

Hello, my name is John Nordberg. Welcome to my site. It is a very old website going through some growing pains. I hope you enjoy my vision of time, the grand unification of physics, the solution to fusion energy, a new solution for getting fresh water in hot deserts, and a solution to global warming.

This 3-dimensional, geometric equation, is the key to unifying physics. Basically, it states that if you take the “cross product x“ of the electric field vector E and the magnetic field vector B, the result is the gravitational field vector G.Do not confuse the gravitational field “vector G“ (it has a small arrow above it) with the Gravitational constant (which is represented by a big "G" without a vector arrow above it) or with gravitational acceleration (which is represented by just a small "g").
