1. No, the many world interpretation is not a direct consequence of quantum superposition. It is an attempt to rationalize the phenomenon - because where does the 'particle' go when it isn't here?
2. The wave function is a mathematical construct, built to explain and predict repeated observations of the probability of observing a certain charge/density/inertia/spin/field in the atom which we interpret as behavior of a 'particle' such as an electron.
3. Everything we observe or measure in your 'particle' atomic realm is collapsed/decoherent. It is coherent and in superposition before such interaction takes place. (Heisenberg Uncertainty, Observer effect)
4. Given #3, it would seem that when we 'observe' a particle, we are instead observing a changed/collapsed/decoherent state of nature.
5. My interpretation, is that rather than there being a real duality, there is only the appearance of a duality - and that the cohere natural functional state before observation is of a wave nature.
6. The wave is 'transformed' into appearing like a 'particle', because it is collapsed/changed and absorbed into the environment. Kind of like touching a vibrating string.
7. I am not sure what you are intending with your last two questions. The particle appears only in our interpretation of certain mathematical variables. It isn't like we are actually 'seeing' them. Although, perhaps we are closer now than ever before:
Again, by 'something' what do you mean? I would say space. I am a little unclear on your subsequent statements.
I am describing the functional, cohere state of nature as a vibrating wave structure of space. The point like object is like an extremely dense wave center in cymatics, and perhaps bends space time to a certain extent in order to 'ripple' out giving us the structure we see. There can only be speculation on this point, which would have to be further investigated. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be, or appear like, what we would call a Einstein-Rosen bridge or wormhole. Whether or not we understand enough about what a wormhole is or may be, is another discussion.
Oh please, it's just common sense. If a person offers brain surgery and invites his prospect clients into the back of butcher shop, that should raise red flags. Labs are not outfitted with picnic furniture. You don't call some cheap office rental "Headquarters" because it's a lie of omission, actually -- the vast network of Searl enterprise simply does not exist. You don't care about being lied to.
And you are in denial of objective reality, which is the "key concept" of the SEG is emanation of electrons from neodymium. This has NEVER been demonstrated. Never. A bunch of rollers does not demonstrate anything except that a circle is round.
Except in great many cases the wave formalism is reduced to what is mathematically a particle. When I direct a 50GeV electron at a target, I don't need to bother considering it's "wave nature" to both predict and analyze results. If you prefer to engage in such kind of fruitless masturbation as to keep pondering of how it's like totally a wave, it's up to you. When engineers design a crash test for a new car, they don't use relativistic mechanics. According to you, they are wrong. Different parts of theory have different domains of applicability.

Reading this book now. It's published by The Message Company.
Radiant energy is a composite form of energy that does not manifest itself to our senses until it strikes a molecule or atom.
Heat and light are vibrating forms of energy. Therefore we can assume that radiant energy (as used in heat) is a form of vibration we cannot perceive. Light poses the same dilem[m]a because interplanetary space is full of darkness (the absence of light) so we can assume that light does not manifest to our senses until it also strikes a molecule or atom. This is actually the process of modulation or demodulation from a higher or lower frequency to another, newer form or rate of vibration.
What is happening, really happening, between the Sun and the Earth which is full of heat and light yet these two powerful forces are not noticeable until this radiant solar energy strikes molecules or atoms?
First we know several things: that this solar energy has a frequency and that the molecules and atoms have their respective frequencies. We also know that vibrations are not simple sine wave-like entities. We know this because we can create and transmit a longitudinal wave which also possesses transverse, vortex and a whole series of other dissimilar wave patterns and forms. These newer derivatives are dependent on direction and medium of transmission. Might we not say that there is no such thing as a simple vibration? May we also say that any vibration is in truth a composite made up of all these inherently different wave forms? What is it that liberates these newer forms of vibration? Isn't it the direction of propagation alone?
The concept is now clear - the radiant solar energy begins its lengthy trip from the Sun as undifferentiated vibration. This matrixed vibration has within itself all the known forms of manifesting energy: heat, light, sound, etc. These lesser forms of energy are liberated from the greater when the greater strikes a molecule or atom which results in a change of direction and frequency and hence manner of association with other composite vibrations.
Keely maintained that this greater stream of energy was made up of three major components. He called this stream a Triple Concordant Flow. He further maintained that this stream of energy manifested as electricity, magnetism and gravity when it struck the Earth or was assimilated to the Earth. These became what he termed "terrestrial polar currents" and were easily proven (he said) by the manifestations we see in the far north known as the aureos borealis. It has been noted elsewhere that Tesla took great interest in this light phenomenon. If he did determine this process as outlined above he would have been able to find a manner to differentiate this terrestrial polar current into both electrical forces and magnetic forces. It is theorized that it is through this undifferentiated state he meant to transmit electrical energy to any place on the Earth's surface. If he could have tapped into this unlimited supply he could most easily have illuminated the world for next to nothing. The energy is already there, cozy in its undifferentiated state, waiting to obey the man who could fathom its secret key and liberate it into manifestation.
How about Scientific American?

Keely Nearing the End
It was announced from Philadelphia on the 17th of March that the Keely motor was practically completed. All the workmen had been discharged, and Mr. Keely was immediately to begin "focalizing and adjusting the vibrators"—a delicate operation but easy for him—and as soon as he obtained "one perfect revolution, though even so slow," the great invention would be complete. The news called forth several funny paragraphs in the newspapers and quite a flutter among the stock holders and directors, who have been for several years investing money to back up this nineteenth century discoverer of "perpetual motion" It is difficult, indeed, to consider seriously this alleged invention, or justly characterize the inventor, who, in this age, not only assumes to get something out of nothing, but would hide all his methods and processes and affect more than the mystery of the alchemists of the early ages. Yet it is a serious matter to those who have been sinking their money therein. Now, however, we seem at last to have reached the "beginning of the end," and the attention of the investors can, at an early day, be "focalized" on their profit and loss accounts. [Scientific American, March 25, 1884, p. 196.]
That's some postponement! 127 years later, and still waiting!
The Keely Motor Stuck Again.
Keely's first week of solitary confinement with his motor for the purpose of "focalizing and adjusting the vibrators," has resulted, not in the single revolution which is to demonstrate his final triumph, but in another postponement. We learn from one of our contemporaries that the stockholders met in Philadelphia on the 26th, and waited with great excitement for a report from Keely. He sent word that the "focalizing" was making rapid progress, that he was too busy to leave it even for a moment, and that they could fix a date for exhibition on or before April 10. Then the stockholders separated, cheerful and hopeful as usual. [Scientific American, April 5, 1884, p. 213.]
I think "word soup" and "heterogeneous cominglement of absurdities" have similar meanings if I interpret buddhasystem and Scientific American correctly. But what would Scientific American know about science?
Although when new inventions appear it may be necessary to coin appropriate terms, we should not think it essential to resort to heterogeneous cominglement of absurdities. [Scientific American, October 11, 1884.]
It's your time to waste if you want to, but just think how much more productive your time would be if you studied real science.
I confidently predict that if new sources of energy are ever discovered, they will have not the slightest connection with anything Keely ever did or imagined. Present-day followers and admirers of Keely are wasting their time, and will simply get nowhere as they try to implement his ideas to produce an energy generator.

Blah, blah, blah.
Exactly, which is why I can't understand why anyone is still interested in what Keely said after all the hidden air lines were found in his lab connected to a hidden air compressor that he was using to fool people.

That discovery should give us 20/20 hindsight, but some people put blinders on and ignore it and pretend that Keely wasn't actually a hoaxer. Amazing.

Do the particles disappear at troughs and appear at crests? Can we ever detect a fraction of a particle, rather than a whole or none? If no, then it cannot be considered continuous, unless experimental data suggests it. Again, predictions and experimental data is what gives credence to any theory. Someone might argue the boogie man exists but can turn invisible at will, and that's why we cannot see him, but without actual evidence...
