The moon does spin - once every 28 days.
I disagree, in fact, I think you are mistaken.
the Discovery Channel has done a documentary on extra solar planets and presented a theoretical planet locked by gravity where rotation of the planet does not occur. In this example, the star and the planet in a mutual orbit presents the same face of the planet. How does this occur with the current theories of Moon rotation?
Let's examine the current status quo for Moon rotation
Currently in 2011, the status quo within the field of Astronomy is that the Moon spins about its axis in a period equal to its approximate 27.322 day rotational period around Earth. So lets looks at the frame of reference used in current theories within the field of Astronomy that has backed this conclusion. When scientists concluded the axis is the Moon rotated in pace with its orbit presenting the same side always, this seemed true, but it was the frame of reference used, which is the source of confusion.
Lets go over a few of mankind's facts pertaining to motion. An orbit is where gravity curves a path of an object to revolve about a central point. The definition rotation considers the point of reference used, if the object rotating about a point of reference outside of the object this motion is an orbit. If the rotation is a reference point within the object, this is rotational spin.
Astronomers have made a basic mistake in orbital mechanics and when given the answer refuse consider that they are wrong. It has been a decade since some of you in the field have seen this paper and debated it on the forums, yet "Ask the Astronomer" still has not learned. The reference frame used included the Earth as the central point, yes a point on the Moon's surface rotates, but this is due to gravity curving the path of the Moon. The Moon does not rotate 360 degrees about its internal axis as rotational spin. Within in this frame of reference, the Moon's axis follows its rotational path as gravity turns the direction of motion of the Moon curving inward, but maintaining orbital distance. Astronomers again when giving a simple explanation involving the motion of the Moon contradict their own words describing orbital rotation and spin. The problem with the current theories on Moon rotation is that those who formulated this theory, confused completing a curved path of rotation around the Earth as the Moon was slowly turning with reference points of the Moon changing in relation to the planet. It is only the illusion of rotation as others in an expanded reference frame can revolve an object about a point and you seem to be turning it. The key here is turning it not spinning about its axis. This is simple orbital mechanics 101.

So if researchers find a compatibility issue, someday we may need quaternions to address that. But since the math we're using instead can give us every result ever confirmed by experiment, we don't see the need for them at this point. Perhaps someday somebody will find a result confirmed by experiment where they are needed, I wouldn't rule that out. But I would rule out that Bearden is such a person, as he doesn't appear to have found anything of value.
Can physics be done without quaternions? Of course it can! Events can be defined over the field of real numbers, and then the Minkowski metric and the Lorentz group can be deployed to get every result ever confirmed by experiment.
Quantum mechanics can be defined using a Hilbert space defined over the field of complex numbers and return with every result measured to date.
Doing physics with quaternions is unnecessary, unless physics runs into a compatibility issue.
That's exactly the point. He claims he did do something with them. Bearden built a device called the MEG or motionless electromagnetic generator. I posted a link to a paper about the MEG near the top of page 84, and it's VERY specific. Mary, did you read it?

Besides, what about Bearden himself? Is he too incompetent to do anything with these equations, if they're so powerful?
I'm not dealing with specifics, I'm dealing with the bleeding obvious.

No, it's not. You are naive. And you are not dealing with specifics. You're making assumptions and sweeping generalizations.
Furthermore, you don't know anything about quaternions, do you?
That's a lovely little link, Arb. I wonder what the author meant by "a compatibility issue". Any idea?

I got the link from this page, the third link down that says Math(pdf), so I'm guessing the author is that guy pictured with the MIT alum e-mail address.

I don't know if I'd phrase it quite that way but statistics are definitely involved so at least I get your meaning.

I don't understand what you mean by this. I thought you said you were going to talk specifics. I don't see any specifics in that statement.
Unfortunately, we're dealing with an exacting force of nature as indicated by known aspect ratios being discovered. Looks like you've already run up against a compatibility issue.
The jury is still out on cold fusion, or as they prefer to call it now, LENR for Low Energy Nuclear Reactions. Yes I read the US Navy paper but I haven't read any follow-up work showing that the researchers have excluded other possible sources for the neutrons, or addressed other issues with the experiment as mentioned by critics of the research.
Really, so what math defines cold fusion to a T? Rack your brain all you want.

14. The B(3) Spin Field And Its Effect On Electrodynamics: O(3) Gauge Theory Of Electrodynamics
This is important precursor work to Einstein Cartan Evans (ECE) theory and starts with refs. (372) to (377) in 1992 with the inference of the B(3) spin field from the inverse Faraday effect at Cornell shortly after Evans returned from Zurich. Then the gauge theory of electrodynamics is developed in refs. (380 - 401), (403 - 419), (423 - 430), (432), (435 - 444), (446 - 448), and (453 - 597) with the exception of series edited books on other subjects in this part of the list.
The first major achievement of this theme of work is the inference of the B(3) spin field from the inverse Faraday effect in refs. (372) and (373). This was followed by approximately eleven years of intensive development of an O(3) invariant gauge theory of electrodynamics called O(3) electrodynamics or non-Abelian electrodynamics. The Maxwell Heaviside theory is U(1) invariant and does not include the spin field self consistently. For this reason it cannot be unified with gravitation in a generally covariant manner as required. Evans actually inferred B(3) in about November 1991 when he was working on simulations of the inverse Faraday effect. It is clear that the magnetization observed in the inverse Faraday effect is caused by a hitherto unknown type of magnetic field, and that this must be radiated. It must also be defined by the conjugate product and therefore must be a phenomenon of non-linear optics. It has been shown that the B(3) spin field can be incorporated an O(3) symmetry gauge theory of electrodynamics, and that its influence on quantum electrodynamics is very small. Thus, B(3) does not lead to any catastrophic loss of precision or renormalization in quantum electrodynamics, and has many advantages as shown in great detail in these publications. Maxwell Heaviside theory is recovered in limits, but with the loss of ability to describe the inverse Faraday effect from first principles. Given these advantages however, O(3) invariant electrodynamics is still a theory of special relativity, and so must be developed into a theory of general relativity before generally covariant field unification can begin. This was initiated in ref. (598) in Spring 2003. Many aspects of O(3) gauge invariant electrodynamics were developed and rigorously tested against data. The way in which B(3) interacts with matter was understood in all detail. For one electron, the spin field produces radiatively induced fermion resonance, the resonance implied by the existence of the inverse Faraday effect.
Einstein-Cartan-Evans theory is a unified theory of physics proposed by Myron W. Evans, which claims to unify general relativity, quantum mechanics and electromagnetism. The proposed theory was largely published in the journal Foundations of Physics Letters between 2003 and 2005. Several of Evans's central claims were later shown to be mathematically incorrect and, in 2008, the editor of Foundations of Physics published an editorial note effectively retracting the journal's support for the theory.

Welcome
This site is dedicated to Einstein - Cartan - Evans (ECE) Unified Field Theory
The simplest and most complete theory to date which unites General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics using just 4 dimensions. This is done through the use of Cartan geometry a more complete geometry than Reimann geometry used by Einstein. The key insight is that spacetime can be twisted and distorted in more ways than simple curvature. Electromagnetism is simply spinning spacetime. A new era in unified physics has begun.
