 The Tom Bearden Website
Since the spinning electron mass is the "zipper" that makes or comprises the physical vector in the first place, this throttling of the mass flow unzips the E and B vectors, leaving whirling (massless magnetic scalar potential) segments of massless charge flux (massless electrostatic scalar potential).
This is a special kind of scalar wave pattern, not a physical or vector wave.
(18) All changes to and from a physical vector or scalar system must arise in and come from its own internal substructure, which is zipped to its spinning particle of mass.

 Vector (spatial) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics and engineering, a vector is a physical entity which has a magnitude which is a scalar (a physical quantity expressed as the product of a numerical value and a physical unit, not just a number).
Informally, a vector is a quantity characterized by a magnitude (in mathematics a number, in physics a number times a unit) and a direction, often represented graphically by an arrow.
In coordinates, if the three vectors are thought of as rows, the scalar triple product is simply the determinant of the 3-by-3 matrix having the three vectors as rows.

 Richard P. Feynman - Nobel Lecture
One day a dispute arose at a Physical Society meeting as to the correctness of a calculation by Slotnick of the interaction of an electron with a neutron using pseudo scalar theory with pseudo vector coupling and also, pseudo scalar theory with pseudo scalar coupling.
Physical reasoning does help some people to generate suggestions as to how the unknown may be related to the known.
Theories of the known, which are described by different physical ideas may be equivalent in all their predictions and are hence scientifically indistinguishable.

 Scalar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics, a scalar is a simple physical quantity that does not change under a change of coordinate system; for example, speed (180 km/h) is a scalar, while velocity (180 km/h north) is a vector.
In mathematics, physics, and computing, a scalar is a quantity usually characterized by a single numeric value or not involving the concept of direction.
In mathematics, scalars are components of vector spaces (and modules), usually real numbers which can be multiplied into vectors by scalar multiplication, or produced from vectors by scalar product.

 Operator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Three main operators are key to vector calculus, the operator ∇, known as gradient, where at a certain point in a scalar field forms a vector which points in the direction of greatest change of that scalar field.
Operators are often in practice just partial functions, a common phenomenon in the theory of differential equations since there is no guarantee that the derivative of a function exists.
Operators as observables are a key part of the theory of quantum mechanics.

 Relaxing Atomic Parity Violation Constraints on New Physics (ResearchIndex)
Abstract: The weak charge QW measured in atomic parity violation experiments can receive compensating contributions from more than one new physics source.
We show explicitly that the \DeltaQ W contribution from the exchange of an extra Z-boson can cancel that from the s-channel scalar top or scalar charm exchange in R-parity violating SUSY models proposed to explain the HERA high-Q 2 anomaly.
Parity violation in the Standard Model results from exchanges of weak gauge bosons.

 Sympathetic Vibratory Physics - Musical Dynasphere, development, science and physics by Dale Pond; part 3 of 4
His scalar cannon is our Neutral Center and his point of interferometric intereference or energy at a distance is our Nodal Ring/Shell virtually created at a distance from the sphere.
This is much like the scalar waves Col. Bearden refers to however this Nodal Ring/Shell is not a wave in any sense of the word although it is predicated on wave dynamics.
The dynasphere 1) assimilates to itself that which it expressed earlier, 2) expresses outward that which was assimilated and 3) is One With all that it is by virtue of its sympathetic state of existence via the high etheric, quantum, superconductive, scalar, neutral, infinitely dense, infinite velocity, etc. ranges.

 Scalar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics, a scalar is a physical quantity which assumes a single value which is independent of the coordinate system being used to describe the physical system.
A vector is a physical entity which has a magnitude which is a scalar, but in addition, in contrast with a scalar, has a direction.
The components of a vector as such are not scalars, since they change with a change of coordinate system; a scalar field may however for one choice of the coordinate system be equal to a particular component.

 TAU Quantum Group - Topological Effects in Quantum Mechanics
In classical physics, scalar and vector electromagnetic potentials are no more than mathematical conveniences, mere auxiliary fields that we can take or leave.
It is clear that whenever scalar and vector potentials appear in the Hamiltonian of a system, they appear in the corresponding Schrödinger equation; they also appear in the Heisenberg equations of motion and in the Feynman path integral.
In the AB effect, electrons move in a region free of electric and magnetic fields; however, the region is not free of scalar and vector potentials (that correspond to electric or magnetic fields elsewhere).

 Zero Point Physics, Vacuum Energy, Scalar Physics
The way one thinks out problems in scalar physics is identical to the manner in which one parses a dream to determine who is who or what in a dream one is having or has just had; it is the same mental process, one having no purchase in every day dealings which are generally materialistic.
Scalar Physics does not contradict anything we already "know,", when the knowledge is authentic; but blending the two to any extent at all "blows out the candle." of effective intelect.
Avoiding to use the words "scalar," "zeropoint," etc., The Department of Defense has assumed control of "superconductivity" and methodically stifles public awareness of the state of inventiveness by many thousands of backyard/garage/workshop inventors, one of whom built a saucer and went to me moon in 1957, when DOD took over the physics.

 Vector field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vector fields are often used in physics to model for example the speed and direction of a moving fluid throughout space, or the strength and direction of some force, such as the magnetic or gravitational force, as it changes from point to point.
In particular a vector field is not a bunch of scalar fields.
Suppose we have a scalar field which is given by the constant function 1, and a vector field which attaches a vector in the r-direction with length 1 to each point.

 Mechanical work - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Work is a scalar quantity, but it can be positive or negative.
Forms of work that are not evidently mechanical, such as electrical work, can be considered as special cases of this principle; for instance, in the case of electricity, work is done on charged particles moving through a medium.
The SI derived unit of work is the joule (J), which is defined as the work done by a force of one newton acting over a distance of one metre.
