RESONANCE THEORY PART VIII: and UNDERSTANDING PLANCK'S CONSTANT and THE CENTRAL ROLE OF ACTION IN PHYSICS and CONNECTING MATTER AND LIGHT: The Quantum Action Equation By Mark Anderson Why Read: Members who have been following the development of Resonance Theory will likely find this latest set of proposals as new, exciting, and fundamental as in the past. Hold on to your hats. - mra ______ As with our prior work in physics, the following was based on pattern recognition - in this case, of mathematics and dimensional analysis. The question "What is time?" holds perhaps the most revered and challenged spot in the entire firmament of physical phenomena, at once used everywhere and understood nowhere. From Euler and Einstein to Stephen Hawking, many have tried, and all have failed, to explain the nature of time. I most recently addressed this problem in the Global Report titled "The Universe in a Page: The Flow and Interaction of Energy and Time" (see "Upgrades" below), but that issue was focused on the newly discovered roles of Flow and Interaction as the motivating forces behind physics, leaving a detailed look into "What is time?" until . . . well, I had the time. In that paper, I posed the question, "What is flowing?" with the response: "Energy" - matched with "Time is the interval we apply to measure it." While this description of time remains true, it is incomplete, and therefore deserving of the work here described. Whether or not this is complete, readers will need to answer for themselves, but the results should, at the least, provide a certain sense of getting down the path toward our goal.
