Electron diffraction




I have been aware for a long time about that experiment associated with electron diffraction but what I wonder about now having just read this is about how that experiment was performed on a crystal of nickel.

I wonder about that because of the dream I had recently about nickel and in that case it was a coin of United States currency. The coin was a prominent feature of the dream and in that case seems to be important because it occurred more than once in the dream. And then just after that I was blinded by the intensity of automobiles on the street as I walked along outside at night, so that seems compelling to me.

So then I just now start thinking that I am confusing myself with the information I communicate. If you embrace the theory - which is still just a theory to me - that I am recording information that I will transfer to people in the past by means of my time-travel technology, and if you accept that as a fact, as I do, then there is the possibility that I am causing myself to have these ideas and these ideas are not relevant actually and specifically to my creation of my time-travel technology. I find it all compelling only because I have recorded the details and those details were time-traveled to the past and that affects my mind in these current times.

So what that means is that I do indeed become a time-traveler but I am confusing myself with the information I record.

Clinton Davisson


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clinton Joseph Davisson (October 22, 1881 – February 1, 1958), was an American physicist who won the 1937 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of electron diffraction. Davisson shared the Nobel Prize with George Paget Thomson, who independently discovered electron diffraction at about the same time as Davisson.


Electron Diffraction and the Davisson-Germer Experiment

Diffraction is a characteristic effect when a wave is incident upon an aperture or a grating, and is closely associated with the meaning of wave motion itself. In the 19th Century, diffraction was well established for light and for ripples on the surfaces of fluids. In 1927, while working for Bell Labs, Davisson and Lester Germer performed an experiment showing that electrons were diffracted at the surface of a crystal of nickel.
