Project Description
I would like to make an animation of about 15 minutes, with the result in MPEG, WMV or AVI format to show on YouTube etc to publicise my physics ideas - which are difficult to explain but hopefully easier to understand when shown as a movie/animation. I have been trying to do this using Blender, the animation programme, and have some short parts that would help explain what I would like in the end. My target is to animate what I think is the physics underlying the universe. I can provide a sound track and story board plus the short animations mentioned. If you are good with Blender-like programmes, then it should be fairly easy for you because the basic components are really simple and there are only seven different components in total. It's just how to 'edit' them together, as you would a film, that I'm having trouble with. I have tried to upload a short extract avi, which is one component...... Thanks Mike

| Thanks Mike. I have to say it sounds like a LOT of work. The problem is not that you have terribly complicated forms to deal with, it\'s just that the interactions and colour changes required will inevitably require a huge number of revisions to get a version that you are happy with, let alone setting those interactions and effects up. Blender, 3DSMax, lightwave etc are all 3D Modelling and animation packages that use models in 3D space and render them to 2D for visualisation. Flash is primarily a 2D animation medium (though it does have some 3D animation packages) and generally it animates and renders in 2D space and 3D effects are faked (unless a Flash 3D library is used). All of these methods are capable of giving you a suitable video file, one way or another. Paul |

| Apologies, but my last clarification got intercepted because I forgot to take out the address of my physics website (not that there is any contact info on it...). Here is the very draft storyboard that has been requested. Video – How to build quarks and leptons (and the universe in general....) guide (Words on screen/view on screen) 1 The universe is composed of nothing (view – white background) 2 But nothingness comes in only one size (view – lots of overlapping white spheres with white outlines on the white background, but vibrating as red/green or whatever suitable colour combo) 3 Take one of these unit nothings (view – one vibrating green/red sphere on white background) 4 …..and separate it into two parts (view -green and red solid colour spheres are drawn out of white sphere – (where they still overlap remains white?)) 5 ….the unmerged parts will start to twist as they are separated (view- as green and red spheres part, they are given appearance of spinning on parallel axes (eg red/yellow and green/yellow banding) 6 The two unmerged parts chase each other (view – pair moving at same separation across screen) 7 ….. and other such pairs (view – chain of pairs chasing each other around screen) 8 ….until the head of a chain of pairs catches the tail (view – chain catching its own tail and forming a moving loop). 9 The strongest loop is of only 3 pairs (view – loop of three pairs chasing each other). 10 …which is called a ring. (view – same as 9) 11 Rings only come in 8 different types because the direction of twist versus travel matters (view – one green/orange sphere twisting right hand screw as it moves across screen to right has a big ‘+’ in the middle, whilst one blue/yellow twisting lhs as travels across screen to right has big ‘-‘ in the middle??)[twisting +ve charge is orange, twisting –ve charge is yellow] 12 ….for both unmerged parts – which we will now call meons. (view – one red/yellow sphere twisting right hand screw as it moves across screen to right has a big ‘-’ in the middle, whilst one red/orange twisting lhs as travels across screen to right has big ‘+‘ in the middle) 13 The positive meon is the green one and the negative is the red one and there are three of each in every ring. (view- same as 9) 14 If all the meons are twisting rhs, the result is a neutrino (view – appropriate ring of red/yellow and green/orange with all green ‘+’ and all red ‘-‘ in middle). 15 If the positive meons twist lhs and the negative meons twist rhs, you get an electron (view – appropriate ring of red/yellow and green/yellow with all green ‘-’ and all red ‘-‘ in middle). 16 If all the positive (green) meons bar one twist rhs and all the negative meons (red) twist lhs, the result is an up quark (view – appropriate ring of red/yellow, green/orange and green/yellow with two blue ‘+’ and one blue ‘-‘ all three red ‘+‘ in middle). 17 If all the positive meons bar one twist lhs and all the negative meons twist rhs, the result is an up quark (view – appropriate ring of red/yellow and green/yellow with two green/orange ‘+’ and one green/yellow ‘-‘ all three red/yellow ‘-‘ in middle). Obviously each ‘charge’ on the meons here is one-sixth of the electron charge. (view – table relating number of +s and –s in each ring to total charge of quarks and leptons vis - - - - - - 6 - = electron charge – 1 q + - + - + - 3- 3+ = neutrino charge 0q + + - + + + 1- 5+ = up quark charge + 2/3 q + + - - - - 4- 2+ = down quark charge – 1/3 q) 18 To get the antiparticles, just change each positive meon for a negative meon (view – electron ring on one side of screen, positron on other, both clockwise rotation of ring, each with same twisting, but meons swapped) 19 To get a photon, combine particle ring and ant-particle ring (view – merge the two rings moving in from left, getting closer together, at the centre of the screen so that each positive meon overlaps with a negative meon – and disappears to white as it does so – leaving only six of the original white spheres with white outline rotating in a single ring – which then accelerates along direction perpendicular to plane of rings). 20 The photon is six of the original unit nothings rotating in a ring (view – as 19) 21 This combination of ring and anti ring is called merging (view – as 19) 22 …. but where the rings are not ring and anti-ring, they stack next to one another (view – neutrino and anti-neutrino [note they should not be the correct isomers] rings next to one another, like dishes in a stack rotating opposite) 23 This combination is of two different isomers of the neutrino, which make a symmetric stack when their asymmetries are balanced (view – as 22) 24 Another symmetric stack is the proton core (view – up ring, down ring, up ring rotating same for ups and opposite for downs) 25 Particles form by extending stacks whilst retaining overall symmetry - this is the whole proton stack (view – as 24 but add two sets of view 22 above the core of 24 and one below) 26 …and here the neutron stack – just one neutrino has been replaced by an electron (view – as 25, but replace top neutrino with an electron ring) 27 Kaons have eight rings, one of which is an s quark – the smaller sized one (view – smaller down quark ring at top, followed by anti-down, then one of 22 and 2 of electron and positron. Rotation in opposite alternately directions down the stack) 28 …and the remainder pions or gluons, which get replaced as the kaon travels (view – as 27, but replace 1 electron and positron pair of rings by a pair of 22) 29 Notice the ‘smaller’ s quark. It is just a higher energy down quark because there are no generations of leptons and quarks, just different sizes. (view – as 28) 30 From here, it’s all Lego building. Ring Theory is a scheme in which all quarks and leptons are composites of only one type of fundamental object, the meon, with fundamental charges +1 and –1 differentiating particle from anti-particle. The concepts of mass, electric charge, spin, time, colour, and flavour acquire meaning only at the level of the composite systems. Gauge bosons, such as W or gluons connect only composite states and are not fundamental and no Higgs particle or higher dimensions are necessary. The scheme accounts for several regularities of the observed pattern of quarks and leptons as well the apparent handedness of neutrino/anti-neutrinos and one possible mechanism underlying observed CP violation in Kaons. A new fundamental constant provides an indication that the charged leptons are not necessarily found in different flavours, but may be mass resonances of the same particle, composed of preons, which hints that the same may also be the case for the quarks and neutrinos. The dynamics provide a framework for the masses and magnetic moments of the quarks and leptons, including neutrino masses, and for the next level up, the protons and neutrons, as well as the possible composition of gluons. Group colour symmetries are given physical meaning and used to show that only 20 different mass sizes of symmetric stacks of 2 or 3 asymmetric composite particles may exist. The symmetric stacks, which are the next level of composite particles, all have integer or zero electric charge, and there are multiple isomers of all particles. The dynamics of the preons and composite particles can be further explored and extended to show that mathematically charge and mass systems can be treated identically and that the expected charge and mass energies of atomic and planetary systems are recovered at low energies. The framework suggests a new energy that has not yet been proposed and that the combination of preon and anti-preon particles may form the underlying nature of space, as we have seen earlier. The dynamics also suggest the location of quantum mechanical states within general relativistic systems, and how to avoid infinities. (view – lots of rings zipping about, coming together and forming/breaking stacks as a sort of show behind the words. As many words as decently possible per slide, then changing to next words) 31 Finally – if you want to know more, visit [Website name] to read about the underlying reasoning and the changes in interpretation of existing physics that are necessary. (view – as 30). 32 It would be helpful if the difference between Blender (which I have been trying to use to make the animation) and Flash and GPL (??) could be explained simply to me. Will they all give what looks like a 3d animation of objects that move about??? and as MPEGs or AVIs or WMVs??? Thanks Mike |

I can adjust/change as necessary, but the important bits are the things that move around and how they combine (the right bits in the right way) to end up with a white colour - same as the background. Hope this helps. Ta Mike |

| Paul, Thanks for the input.;-) I obviously didn't explain very well. The two spheres moving about represents one 'component'. For example, the initial screen could be just this, with a background of lots of the same in the distance. The next step is that these two spheres separate and join a 'chain' chasing one another. That's another component. Then the chain catches its own tail and becomes a 'ring'. Then rings stack to form photons and protons etc. It builds in complexity, but the components are all simple. So I have the initial 'two spheres' at one vibration rate. I have rings of six spheres. What I can't seem to manage is to define the 'two spheres' as an object and duplicate it many times. And I'm not sure that my rings are made of the right things. I made the spheres as children of bones, so I could manipulate them (they need to spin as well as vibrate), but the rings are not. It's that sort of thing that I am not getting. Maybe all I need is some classes (I've looked at help videos on the web, but they are generally either too simple or too complex). What I need is really simple, but I need to stitch everything together and that's where I'm stuck. There is further complexity in that the 'two spheres' are only one of two variants and all four variants of the spheres are needed to make all possible six-ring-sphere components. So depending whether what is moving across the screen is an electron (ring) or a neutrino (ring) there are different types of sphere needed (different components). But once you have the 4 different spheres, 2 different two-spheres and 8 different six-rings, that is all the components required to build everything else - and that's the whole point of the 'film' - to show what simple things our current 'building blocks' (the quarks and leptons) are made of and how they interact. Sorry I've been a bit verbose, but I hope you get a flavour of what I'm after. BTW the spheres are halos within halos and their colours have been chosen so that the total combination of each pair is white when fully merged. That's the unit of space that the particles (spheres) are ripped out of initially as the first stage of the Big Bang. I have a storyboard of sorts, but how would I post it? Or send it? Thanks for the interest. Regards Mike |

| Mike, it might be better to show all or part of the storyboard. All the avi seems to show is a couple of circles moving about a bit. On the basis of the attached avi, it\'s going to be a long 15 minutes.. |
