About

The Researcher

My name is Stephen Horton. I'm an independent researcher exploring the intersections of wave physics, acoustic resonance, and superconductivity. My background isn't in academic physics — it's in asking questions that don't fit neatly into existing frameworks, and then following the math wherever it leads.

The work on this site represents an ongoing investigation into what I call Wave Coherence — the idea that many phenomena we attribute to quantum mechanics, electron pairing, and exotic material properties might be better understood through the lens of acoustic resonance and wave interference at the atomic scale.

The Core Theory

The Parametric Acoustic Resonance Theory (PART) proposes that superconductivity is fundamentally an acoustic phenomenon. Instead of electrons pairing through phonon exchange (the conventional BCS picture), PART argues that the crystal lattice forms a resonant acoustic cavity — like a laser, but for sound.

The critical temperature T_c becomes a threshold, not a wall: the point where parametric acoustic gain equals loss. Below that threshold, a coherent standing wave builds up, electrons ride it, and resistance vanishes.

The theory makes testable predictions and offers new engineering principles for superconductor design: screen materials for octave vibrational relationships, engineer crystal quality like optical engineers engineer mirror coatings, and use acoustic seeding to push T_c higher.

The Research

This site hosts several lines of investigation:

• Wave Coherence Model — A geometric mechanism for Cooper pair formation based on the toroidal electron model, proposing that pairing is fundamentally a topological untwisting process.
• PART (Parametric Acoustic Resonance Theory) — The core superconductivity framework treating the lattice as a parametric amplifier.
• The Giza-Dahshur Hypothesis — An investigation into ancient pyramid structures as possible resonant acoustic and electromagnetic systems.
• The Geometry of Coherence — Explorations of wave architecture, Schumann resonances, and the electromagnetic foundations of coherence phenomena.

Status

All papers on this site are working papers and drafts. They represent ideas in progress — hypotheses that generate testable predictions. I publish them openly because science advances through transparency, not gatekeeping. If you find errors, have experimental data that supports or contradicts these ideas, or simply want to discuss the work, I welcome the conversation.
