The CNPS is a worldwide organization of physics professors and independent researchers who work on pointing out problems in theoretical physics and developing solutions to those problems. The CNPS gave a Lifetime Achievement Award to Nicholas Percival of Ridgefield on January 28, 2023.

Nicholas Percival, recipient of the Lifetime Acheivement Award for his work with time, special relativity, and the twin paradox

Percival received his degree in physics from Harvard University in 1964 and has studied Special Relativity and its associated Twin Paradox for 60 years. It turned out that while Special Relativity’s equations could be used to predict correct numerical results in some areas, the implied physical model used with employing those equations was radically different than the accepted model for Special Relativity – thus the famous Twin Paradox. Percival clearly articulated the problem and the correct physical model. In addition, Percival’s analysis showed that not only did “time” not have its own dimension, but “time” had no counterpart in reality. Instead, “time” was just a human construct, a generality, emerging from physical process cycles that unfold within 3D space.

Percival’s paper on Special Relativity was published by the Institute of Physics (IOP) in conjunction with the Vigier Society. Also, his work on the true nature of time is discussed in the first 37 videos in his YouTube channel with the conclusion being, “A Surprise Ending”. He also has a Twin Paradox website. His thesis on “time” was published in the December 2022 issue of Physics Essays.

Ivor Catt And Displacement Current

In an article published in Wireless World, December 1978, Ivor Catt published a criticism of the Maxwell displacement current that provoked considerable controversy. This article had a significant impact on my thinking as I had always had reservations regarding the displacement current concept in electromagnetic theory. In fact, the idea of displacement current that the modern textbooks present is completely different from Maxwell’s conception of it. Maxwell’s displacement current refers to the displacement of the electric particles of Maxwell’s aether.

Extending Newton’s Principia Mathematica

Neither Newton himself or any of his successors have been able to extend Newton’s Principia in order to give physicality to universe. Pieces have been discovered, but no one has been able to add a comprehensive extension to Principia Mathematica in order to take classical mechanics forward – until now.

CNPS 2019 Conference at the University of Washington a Resounding Success

The 25 annual NPA and 5th annual CNPS conference at the University of Washington was a resounding success with conference goers all having a fulfilling time. Some new and old faces appeared and it was great to see that the CNPS is alive and well. With a number of unusually sunny days, the conference was held in Alder Hall on the beautiful campus of the University of Washington with majestic buildings, amazingly large trees, and beautiful vistas of the mountain including a picture-perfect view of Mount Rainer.
