Milo Wolff: Spherical Standing Wave Structure of Matter

[Dahaka14]

Has anyone heard of Milo Wolff? I recently came upon www.spaceandmotion.com using StumbleUpon, and read the section of quantum theory, and the interpretation of quantum theory using spherical standing waves to describe matter seemed interesting, but I couldn't find anything on it besides that website and some YouTube videos. At first the theory seemed to make sense, but I didn't see any mathematics given to prove it, nor any experiments that verified the theory. Also, since it was "discovered" in 1986, it has been a long time and should have been recognized by now if it had legitimate following. Now I am very skeptical of this theory. Any input on this?

Any input on this?

Video seems to indicate that, even at a respectable age, the poor fellow lacks elementary mathematical concepts. Or that he is selling a book. I would not loose my time on this if I were you.

I have also come across Milo Wolff's theory of the spherical standing wave structure of matter and like you, I found it interesting but lacking in concrete evidence. While the concept of using waves to describe matter is not entirely new, Wolff's theory does seem to have some unique elements to it. However, as you pointed out, the lack of mathematical proof and experimental verification does raise some doubts about its validity.

I did some further research and found that there are some criticisms of Wolff's theory, particularly regarding its applicability to all types of matter. Some scientists argue that while it may work for simple particles, it fails to explain more complex structures such as molecules and crystals.

In my opinion, it is always important to approach any scientific theory with a healthy dose of skepticism. While Wolff's theory may have some interesting ideas, until it is backed up by rigorous mathematical and experimental evidence, it cannot be considered as a widely accepted explanation for the nature of matter. It is always good to keep an open mind and continue to explore different theories, but it is also important to be critical and not accept ideas without proper evidence.
