Garbage Theory

Q:
Regarding "Phased Particle Theory", how much of this can actually be taken as fact? this theory explains a complex atomic thermal field responsible for the natural formation of matter. it goes on to explain the photon as a 2-dimensional particle invisible to 3-dimensional space until charged by a 3-dimensional waveform.

A:

I started watching a video about that "theory". The part about light sounded like semi-meaningless nonsense, but I couldn't be sure of that because it was so unfamiliar. Then there was a part about gases and phases of matter. They claimed that the kinetic behavior of gases was unexplained because of the large distance between the particles. That's complete baloney, since the simple kinetic theory works beautifully precisely because of that distance. Then they claim that the origin of different phases of matter is a mystery. Again, complete baloney. The origins of the familiar phases can be directly dalculated from the standard underlying physical picture using familiar statistical mechanics. When some complicated phase has unclear origins (say the superconducting phase of YBCO) it makes an interesting and unusual research area. 

With bogus videos like that, it's always interesting to speculate on whether the people behind it are very stupid or deliberate fraudsters, or if there's some less obvious explanation.
