NEW APPROACH PART TEN

 

TEN: SEEING BEYOND THE LIMITATIONS OF LINEAR SPACE AND TIME 

Copyright 2022, Edward R. Close, PhD

“Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood, let alone believed, by the masses.” – Plato

One of the sub-themes of this series of posts is that the advancement of human consciousness occurs by concurrent triadic expansion, i.e., by expanding in three dimensional domains: physical, mental, and spiritual. Neglecting any of the three, leads to serious imbalance and instability. This is because none of the three have much meaning without the other two. Like mass, energy, and consciousness, all three are quantified aspects of the essence of reality, providing conscious experience ranging from the simplicity of physical reality to the subtlety of mental reality, to the infinite complexity of spiritual reality. No model of reality is complete without all three.

At this point in planetary time, because it is the simplest, our understanding of the physical aspect of reality has outstripped mental and spiritual virtue, causing a dangerous imbalance in human societal activity. If a balance of the three is not achieved, civilization will continue to become more and more divided, until the bulk of humanity realizes that we are on the brink of self-destruction. Then, whether it is called TDVP, or something else, a science based on the fundamental recognition of the triadic nature of reality, physical, mental, and spiritual, must emerge.

These posts have also been about recognizing that what most of us call reality is primarily our own involuntary personal conceptual model, burdened with illusions created by our perceptual limitations. If we don’t seek to think for ourselves and expand our consciousness beyond the awareness we were born with, we are simply accepting the average-to-lowest common denominator of the illusions of mainstream mindlessness. Today’s society seems to be designed to interfere with the freedom to seek the truth, rather than to aid in the effort, and formal education, both public and private, and even modern science, has become more of a hinderance than a help.

With the specialization and dumbing down of education over the past century, we now have hundreds of thousands of people who think they are scientists. But the vast majority of them have MS or PhD after their names simply because they parroted back to university professors and department heads what they wanted to hear, while those same professors were too busy getting mostly mediocre papers pushed through the academic bubble of peer-review to teach their students how to think clearly. Sad to say, but, to many of them, any original thought that might actually lead to scientific advancement is labeled as pseudo-science. They are just too busy complying with the groupthink of their narrow field of study, in search of tenure, to think outside the sterile box of simplistic materialism. As a result, there has been no real paradigm shift in human thought since Einstein and Planck, nearly a century ago, - until TDVP.

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”  – Mark Twain

In this post I want to continue to explain the triadic nature of dimensionality. Without a clear understanding of how and why there are three dimensions of space, three dimensions of time, and three dimensions of consciousness, progress in individual consciousness expansion is very difficult. While spontaneous mental and spiritual leaps into hyper-dimensional domains may happen for many of us, an understanding that there is a step-by-step procedure from where you are now, into an expanded state of consciousness, is critical. A basic awareness of the triadic nature of reality is very helpful, if not necessary for progress at this point in planetary time.

Because most of the changes in our individual physical existence are governed by the time cycles of Earth’s rotation on its axis and revolution around the sun, it is difficult to conceive of why and how the apparent flow of time we experience on this planet is not uniform and universal, but it is not. We have Albert Einstein to thank for exposing the cultural shadows and lies related to space and time. But modern science has yet to discover the complex laws governing the connections between the cycles of space, time, and consciousness. With the TDVP model, we are drawing science into a deeper analysis of the triadic nature of reality. In this post, we will have a slightly more detailed look at what applications of the CoDD reveals about the dimensional domains of space and time.

Expanding Our Awareness of Space and Time

With the application of the CoDD TRUE analysis, once again, we find that the phenomenon perceived through the physical senses as light, plays a critically central role in the expansion of our awareness of the nature of reality. The simplest, most basic aspect of light is its constant speed for all observers, regardless of relative motion. While the speed of light is expressed as a ratio of linear units of distance per linear unit of time, in current scientific analysis, CoDD TRUE analysis shows that this linear expression of light speed is inadequate, and that it results in erroneous implications about reality, because light is a three-dimensional phenomenon, not a linear one.

In fact, light is not propagated linearly. It is propagated radially by alternately fluctuating electric and magnetic fields expanding to infinity in every direction of the three-dimensional domain. When expressed in triadic rotational units of equivalence (TRUE), the speed of light is equal to one TRUE unit of space per one TRUE unit of time, For easier calculation in the CoDD, that ratio is set equal to one. At first glance,  this may appear to be identical to the setting of the speed of light equal to one in Planck units, but it is not. In the TDVP model, the speed of light is defined by the expansion of light through one 3-D TRUE volume of space in one 3-D TRUE of time, making the speed of light equal to (one TRUE)/(one TRUE ) = 1. In this way, the speed of light is automatically unity because of the basic principle of quantum equivalence.

The principle of quantum equivalence is the central mathematical axiom of the TDVP. The unitary quantum equivalence of the rest mass and volume of the smallest stable elementary object, the electron, is the most logical natural base unit for analysis of quantum phenomena. Defining the electron mass/energy/volume quantum equivalence unit as the basic unit of measurement for quantum phenomena, allows us to develop a natural primary calculus for mathematical analysis of phenomena at the quantum scale. I call that calculus the CoDD.

Max Planck discovered that energy is quantized and suggested that “there is no matter as such”, while his friend and colleague, Albert Einstein, derived E = mc², defining the mathematical  equivalence of mass and energy, and declared that space and time have no existence of their own. With no physical existence, it seems reasonable to assume that space and time are infinitely divisible, even though energy and the mass equivalence of energy are not. But, if space and time are infinitely divisible, and the speed of light energy moving between two observation and measurement locations is constant, then we have another paradox related to light.

The fact that that this is a paradox may not be immediately obvious, but to see that it is a paradox, we need only remind ourselves that speed is distance traveled divided by the time it takes. For example, if it takes us two hours to drive 100 miles, then we compute our speed as 100 miles divided by 2 hours equals 50 miles per hour. Of course, we didn’t drive at the exact speed of 50 mph all the time during the 2-hour trip, so 50 mph is an average, but light doesn’t speed up or slow down, because light speed is constant. As the linear distance in space between the two points decreases, and the time interval between measurements approaches zero, instantaneous linear velocity (speed) of a moving object determined by Newtonian calculus approaches either some finite linear value divided by zero, or zero divided by zero (0/0), and both are mathematically undefined. What does this mean? Every basic course in algebra includes a demonstration showing that dividing by zero results in erroneous results or mathematical absurdities like 2 = 1.

So, how is this paradox resolved? By looking at the assumptions and determining which one is erroneous. There are only two assumptions in this case: 1) the speed of light is constant, and 2) space and time are infinitely divisible. Constant light speed is the basis of the theory of relativity, and the fact that the speed of light is constant is so well documented that we must accept it as true. So, we are left with the conclusion that the assumption that space and time can be divided into smaller and smaller amounts indefinitely must be wrong. To eliminate the paradox, we simply recognize that TRUE quantum units, whether of energy, mass, space , or time, are three-dimensional. Then, the smallest possible ratio is one 3-D quantum/ one 3-D quantum = 1.

This is just one example of the many ways that ignoring the fact that everything existing in quantized reality is three dimensional, not singular, one-dimensional, or two-dimensional, leads to absurd results. In fact, application of the primary calculus to quantum combinations exposes all of the “weirdness” of quantum mechanics that particle physicists like to talk about, as simply the end result of the inappropriate application of Newtonian calculus to phenomena at the quantum-scale level. Why is the Newton/Leibniz differential and integral calculus inappropriate for application at the quantum level? Simply because it is based on the assumption that space and time are infinitely divisible. Why does it work at the macro-scale? Simply because TRUE quanta are many orders of magnitude (powers of 10 times the basic unit) smaller than the limited precision of our means of direct observation and measurement, so that the facts of quantum-scale phenomena must be ascertained by indirect means and deductive reasoning.

In future posts in this series, I intend to further clarify exactly how the misapplication of Newtonian calculus to quantum phenomena came about and why it leads to paradoxes and errors that can be explained and corrected using the quantum calculus I call the calculus of dimensional distinctions (CoDD). We will also see how the appropriate application of the quantum mathematical principle made the discovery of non-physical quantized reality possible. Of course, I am referring to the discovery of gimmel, the measurable non-physical aspect of reality.

THE GRAND ILLUSION

THE GRAND ILLUSION

Time and space, however persistent they may seem to be, are illusions.

Matter and energy are much less persistent than time and space,

and they’re not what they seem to be.

All four are manifestations of consciousness, fleeting as a lightening flash.

The truth is neither “out there”, nor in the X-files; it is deep within.

If you go deep enough, the truth you’ll find is the same for everyone.

There is no evidence that consciousness is plural, that matter is real,

that energy is eternal, that time is linear, or that space can exist by itself,

Yet we dream that these illusions are real. Why not try to wake?

 We sleep as solid matter, we stir as energy, we dream as plants and animals,

And we wake as God.

Himmel und Erde müssen vergeh‘n, aber der Geist bleiben besteh‘n!

Cerul și Pământul trebuie să dispară, dar Duhul va rămâne vreodată!

Heaven and Earth must pass away, but Spirit shall ever remain!

ABOUT THE BOOK TRANSCENDENTAL PHYSICS

QUOTES & EXCERPTS FROM TRANSCENDENTAL PHYSICS

page 4:
Transcendental Physics proves that a pervasive form of consciousness, (God) not only exists, but necessarily preceded the creation of physical reality."

Pp 59-60:
“With proof that materialism is an incomplete and inadequate theory, science can no longer use it as a basis for understanding reality. Ironically, it is not a thought experiment or theoretical consideration that has brought about the downfall of materialism, it is a meticulous empirical experiment. Scientific materialism has literally been hoisted on its own petard! And the blow is final. The assumption that physical reality exists independent of the conscious observer is simply incorrect. Still, because of ingrained belief in this assumption, the death of materialism is not yet general knowledge.”

In a recent review of Space, Time and Consciousness, an unpublished manuscript by this author, that elaborates on some of the points made in Transcendental Physics, a reviewer said:

“I'd say that your refutation of materialism may constitute one of the biggest philosophical breakthroughs in the last 2500 years… -- a world historic event.”

Page 272: “Once it is understood that reality is much more than matter and energy interacting in time and space, and that this greater reality can be investigated objectively, the doors will be thrown open for science to grow as never before,”

I published several original poems at the beginnings and endings of some of the chapters of Transcendental Physics For example, on page 260, at the beginning of Chapter Ten, you’ll find:

The Cosmic Whole

Bathed in diurnal rays both day and night,

We sleep, always blinded by the light.

What’s new is old, what’s old is new,

Once discerned, what’s one is two.

The simple seed becomes a tree,

The atom’s speed, - eternity.

Both time and space

Enshroud the soul,

‘til we embrace

The Cosmic

Whole

P 199:
“It is now time to turn back, investigate consciousness in an objective manner and develop a scientific understanding of consciousness comparable to our current understanding of physical reality.”

ILLUSIONS

SPACE AND TIME IN THE NEW PARADIGM

As human beings, we tend to think that space and time are objective things that exist with or without content, like a backdrop for things and events, whether we are aware of them or not. The discovery of gimmel, the third form of the substance of reality, reveals that this is not true. The idea that space and time exist as objective realities is a deep-seated illusion.

SPACE

Einstein said, in what I believe may have been one of his last published written comments, in a “NOTE TO THE FIFTEENTH EDITION” of “Relativity, The Special and General Theory, a Clear Explanation that anyone can Understand” Fifth Edition, the following:

“In this edition I have added a fifth appendix, a presentation of my views on the problem of space in general and on the gradual modifications of our ideas on space resulting from the influence of the relativistic view-point. I wished to show that space-time is not necessarily something to which one can ascribe a separate existence, independently of the actual objects of physical reality. Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended. In this way, ‘empty space’ loses its meaning.” A. EINSTEIN, June 9^th, 1952

Space is measured in variables of extent, like feet and inches, or meters and centimeters, but has no meaning or existence without the existence of objects possessing content, and/or without the conscious drawing of distinctions.

Space has no existence of its own. It only exists by virtue of objective distinctions drawn in the fabric of reality by conscious entities.

In my application of the calculus of distinctions to the description of reality (see “Transcendental Physics” Chapter 7 and Appendix D), space is one of three types of finite distinctions drawn by conscious entities. There are distinctions of extent, distinctions of content, and distinctions of meaning in consciousness.

TIME

Notice that in the note quoted above, Einstein starts out talking about space, but ends up including time, by saying that ‘space-time’ is “not necessarily something to which one can ascribe a separate existence…” This is consistent with the recognition that time is properly included in the description of reality as a fourth dimension, measurable in variables of extent. The discovery and quantification of gimmel as an agent of consciousness, completes the picture of Triadic Reality with the recognition of the distinctions of space, time and consciousness as the three types of extent; of the distinctions of mass, energy and consciousness as the three forms of content; and the distinctions of Primary, individual-self, and other, as the three forms of consciousness.  This is the triple triad of TDVP, the new paradigm.

Einstein also said: "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one!"

Time, an important part of that illusion, is measured in variables of duration, a form of extent that implies the existence of past, present and future. These three aspects of time in the physical universe depend upon the drawing of distinctions, and are thus meaningless without consciousness and the distinctions of mass (the illusion of matter) and distinctions of energy (the illusion of relative motion) and the distinction of self (the illusion of separateness). This is the meaning of the title of the book “Reality Begins with Consciousness (RBC) by Neppe and Close.

See www.BrainVoyage.com for e-book copies of RBC.

TIME IN THE TRIADIC CONTINUUM OF REALITY

If you closely inspect your experience of time, you will find that it is dependent upon your identification with the physical body and its tendency toward entropic dissolution. As pointed out in a previous post, just as matter and energy obey the universal law of the conservation of mass and energy, consciousness obeys the same law. Gimmel, the consciousness within every atom of physical reality can be neither created nor destroyed. 

Physicists are perplexed by the fact that nowhere in the current equations of science is there evidence of any ‘arrow of time’.  The laws of physics work just as well backward as they do forward. This is because the arrow of time is a product of the attachment of individualized consciousness to a physical body. The arrow of time does not appear until consciousness is included in the equations as it does in the TDVP application of the calculus of distinctions to the triple triad of reality: 3-D space, 3-D time, mass, energy, and gimmel, embedded in the conscious trans-finite substrate of Reality.

Stay tuned for practical applications of the discovery of gimmel in the framework of the new paradigm.

GIMMEL IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE HIGGS BOSON

THE NEW SCIENCE: PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF TRUE ANALYSIS AND THE 3^rd FORM OF REALITY

In the previous post I talked about the discovery of gimmel, the third form of reality that is neither matter nor energy. In this post, I expand on the significance of the finding of gimmel.

I submit to you that the discovery of gimmel is far more important than the discovery of evidence of the Higgs boson and the accompanying Higgs Field, because understanding the reality of gimmel has practical application to human problems. So far as I can tell, the discovery of the Higgs boson has no practical application.

All the discovery of traces of the Higgs boson does is confirm the consistency of the current particle theory. Finding the Higgs boson simply confirms the mathematical consistency of particle theory, it doesn’t reveal anything new about reality. So far as I can tell, the discovery has no practical application.

Just what is the Higgs boson? Particle physicists explain it like this:

"All elementary particles get their masses from their interactions with the Higgs field, kind of like being 'slowed down' by passing through a thick syrup," a physicist at Towson University in Maryland says.

Some particles have a harder time moving through the Higgs field than others, and as a result, they have more mass. Why are certain particles, like the top quark, given thousands of times more mass by the Higgs field than less massive particles, like as electrons and neutrinos? No one knows. "Theorists have been searching for some way to actually predict masses from first principles. No convincing theory has yet emerged," said John Gunion, a professor of physics at the University of California, Davis.

Particle physicists think that, similar to the way photons are related to the electromagnetic field, the Higgs particle may be related to a Higgs field. They theorize that particles moving through the Higgs field disrupt the field by exchanging virtual Higgs particles with it. They postulate that a detectable Higgs particle surfaces when the field is disturbed by the impact of a moving particle. Detecting a Higgs boson is how physicists feel they can be sure the Higgs field exists. "You have to get enough energy to excite the field so that it looks like a particle to us. Otherwise we don't know the field is there," particle physicist Craig Blocker of Brandeis University tells us.

The discovery of gimmel tells us much more: It explains quantum physics in a much more comprehensive way: Stable particles cannot exist without gimmel, which means that, consistent with quantum experimental observations like the double-slit and delayed-choice experiments, particles do not exist until we consciously draw the distinctions that allow us to measure them.

Just what is gimmel? Unlike the Higgs boson, gimmel is not just another name for something we already know about, Gimmel is what mass-less gluons, bosons and dark matter/energy are made of. Gimmel is the essence of life and the flow of purpose and meaning from the infinite to the finite. Gimmel is most abundant in the elements that support life. See the tables of calculations in the series of posts on ‘Putting Consciousness into the Equations’, especially Parts 18 and 20.

The discovery of gimmel in every stable particle making up the physical universe tells us much more than why particles have mass, it opens the door to a deeper understanding of space and time in relation to mass and energy.

Einstein was on the right track when he observed in a note to the fifteenth edition of his book on relativity that space is not something to which one can ascribe a separate existence apart from the objects of physical reality. With the discovery of gimmel, quantum physics is telling us something profound about both space and time: They do not exist as separate ‘things’.

The images conjured up from quantum sensations in our brains of objects and their motions are inseparably bound up with consciousness. Without the direct involvement of consciousness as TRUE units of gimmel, there would be no matter and energy interacting in space-time, in fact, no material universe!

With the discovery of gimmel, we echo the statements of Planck and Einstein: “There is no matter as such”, and “There is no space as such”, and expand them:

There is no matter and energy, no space and time, without consciousness. 

In up-coming posts, I will explain what space and time are in the new paradigm.

THE DISTINCTIONS OF REALITY

SPACE, TIME, MASS, ENERGY, AND CONSCIOUSNESS

AS DISTINCTIONS (Continued)

SCIENTIFIC PARADIGMS AND PARADIGM SHIFTS

The word paradigm, derived from a Latin word meaning to show beside, in the sense of an example or model, was first used to mean a scientific model or world view, by American physicist and philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn in his now-famous book “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” published in 1962. He also introduced the term ‘paradigm shift’ to mean a fundamental shift in the basic concepts upon which science, or at least some major part of science, was based. Examples of major paradigm shifts include the shift from an Earth-centered cosmological model to a planetary solar system model, the shift to relativity, and the shift to quantum mechanics. Paradigm shifts do not negate everything known before, but they do profoundly change the way we understand the nature of reality.

A paradigm shift is the result of new evidence that contradicts the existing paradigm, and that evidence is most often discovered by scientists working in areas at the fringe, or outside of the existing paradigm. In every major paradigm shift, the scientists discovering them have been ridiculed by scientists in mainstream academia, who consider them to be misguided.

THE NATURE OF REALITY

Relativity and quantum physics were considered to be separate, and even competing and conflicting paradigm shifts, but together, they have revealed an expanding quantized reality where the location, relative motion and consciousness of the observer interact dynamically with and influence the nature of physical reality. Thus they paved the way for the paradigm shift being discussed here. We now realize, and can demonstrate mathematically, that no paradigm can be a theory of everything if does not contain consciousness, and as we’ve discussed in earlier posts, reality consists of mass, energy and a third form, in a nine-dimensional finite space, time consciousness domain, expanding out of a structured transfinite domain into infinity. The connections between consciousness and space-time domains are well-defined in the Calculus of Distinctions.

THE CALCULUS OF DISTINCTIONS

The calculus of distinctions (CoD) is a system of mathematical logic uniquely and ideally suited to describing reality in terms of integral multi-dimensional quanta of mass, energy, space, time and consciousness. I will not post the mathematical derivation of the CoD here, because it is too lengthy and technical, and I have published it elsewhere. (Notably in “Infinite Continuity” 1990, in “Transcendental Physics, 1997 and 2000, in “The Calculus of Dimensional Distinctions in Elements of mathematical Theory of Intellect”, 2003, published in Moscow with Vladimir Brandin, in “Reality Begins with Consciousness”, 2013 with Vernon Neppe. See www.BrainVoyage.com), and journal articles. The calculus of distinctions has advantages over the calculus of Newton and Leibniz, not the least of which is the fact that the CoD is designed to deal with quantum distinctions, and the calculus of Leibniz and Newton was not.

I will describe briefly here how the CoD was derived and applied to the elementary particles that make up physical reality. As I stated in an earlier post, the good news is: the calculus of distinctions is, in principle, easier to understand than the calculus used today. It is more basic than the calculus of Newton and Leibniz; it works the way your mind works. And learning the basics of the calculus of distinctions is like starting at the beginning of the story, not in the middle. The calculus of distinctions is logically prior to all mathematical expressions. Much like algebra and algebraic symbols, the calculus of distinctions is the logic of calculation, and distinctions are the objects of that calculation.

DISTINCTIONS

The awareness of reality begins with the first distinction drawn by a conscious entity: the distinction of self from other. And the distinction of self from other begins with the awareness of a feeling of being inside, as opposed to outside, experienced as I am ‘in here’, everything else is ‘out there’. This distinction is a necessary precursor to drawing other distinctions within self, and in other. It is the basis of all awareness of separation and combination, similarity and difference, equivalence and counting, and thus all mathematics. The distinctions of past, present and future lead to awareness of time, cause and effect, and finally, all science and knowledge. In space and time, we have distinctions of extent in 3 or more dimensions, and we have distinctions of content, as of mass and energy, and distinctions of intent or meaning, as in consciousness.

TRUE QUANTUM UNITS

Distinctions beyond the distinction of self from other are defined in units of mass/energy/consciousness equivalence. In a quantized reality, it is logical, and very useful to define the unitary quantum distinction in terms of the smallest possible particle of the substance of reality. That particle is the electron.

Using Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence expressed by E = mc², (true in SI units, i.e., where energy is measured in joules, mass in kilograms, and the speed of light in meters per second) we will ‘normalize’ our quantum unit by defining the measures of the electron as the basic units of measurement of quantum reality. This means that the quantity of mass and energy, and the volume of the electron are all set equal to one. These units are similar to Planck’s quantum units, but different from Planck units in a very important way: Planck’s units are derived by setting the five physical constants (the gravitational constant, the Coulomb constant, the Boltzmann constant, Planck’s constant, and the speed of light) equal to one. We are setting the basic mass, energy, space, and time measures of the electron equal to one.

Planck’s units are designed to simplify calculations involving the known ‘universal’ constants, and to remove the arbitrariness of macro-scale measurement units like feet, pounds, meters and grams. By redefining quantum units the way we have, we have defined measurement to be based on the four measurable features of physical reality: mass, energy, space and time, and the consciousness act of the drawing of distinctions, which is also an integral part of measurement. This removes the arbitrary aspect of measurement, as Planck units do, but we have also found a way to, at least tentatively include the action of consciousness. Defining the TRUE quantum unit in this way and using it as the unitary distinction in the CoD, we avoid the intractable difficulties of the current mathematics with more than two dimensions, by starting with 3D distinctions. We shall see that this greatly simplifies the mathematics needed to describe physical reality.

We know that stable elementary particles are spinning rapidly, at angular velocities even approaching the speed of light, and they are stable, because they don’t fly apart like an asymmetric lump of clay on a potter's wheel. This means that they must have symmetrical shapes. Planck’s discovery that reality is quantized provides an elegant way to determine the size and shape of the electron, and subsequently of the quantum unit, because, in a quantized reality, only certain symmetrical shapes are possible. I’ll go into this in more detail in technical papers, but for the purposes of this discussion, it is sufficient to say that symmetrical particles, spinning in three dimensions, behave as if they were spherical. This is because by spinning so fast they occupy the volume of a sphere.

 Contrary to the opinions of most physicists, classical physics principles do apply at the quantum level. Classical centripetal forces cause the extremities of spinning particles to be pulled toward the center, or shrink in size, increasing their spinning velocity, like a spinning skater. But, just as the quantum is the limit, or bottom, of physical mass, it is also the bottom of physical size, because the speed of light is the upper limit on relative velocity, which determines the limit on how small the particle can be. Thus, in the normalized electron unit we have the definition of the most basic unit of mass, energy and volume. Add to this the presence of the third form, carrying the logical structure of consciousness, and we have the Triadic Rotational Unit of equivalence, or TRUE unit as the basic unit of all three types of measurement: extent, content and intent.

I note in passing that the normalizing of the units of measurement to the TRUE unit, involves combining quantum and relativistic principles. Thus, by making the TRUE unit the basic distinction of the calculus of distinctions, we assure that the mathematics growing out of this will integrate relativity and quantum physics. In addition, the mathematics and geometry describing physical reality are greatly simplified because all of the particles that make up the physical universe, and any combination of them, are measurable in whole-number multiples of a basic equivalence unit, the TRUE unit. This normalizes all equations describing the combinations of quarks, electrons, protons and neutrons, atoms and molecules that make up the physical universe into simple Diophantine, or integer equations.

In future posts I will show how this approach leads to the discovery of the mathematical/geometrical/logical nature of the third form, which we’ve called gimmel in these posts, and how several long-standing puzzles of physics are solved using TRUE units of mass, energy and gimmel.

THE MATHEMATICAL BEAUTY OF THE QUANTUM WORLD

THE MATHEMATICAL BEAUTY OF THE QUANTUM WORLD

The universe, from quarks to quasars, is made up of combinations of whole quanta, and the way to describe the combination of quanta turns out to be with what mathematicians call Diophantine equations (after Diophantus of Alexandria who lived in the 2^nd century AD). Consider the equations

X₁ + X₂ = X₃

(X₁)² + (X₂)² = (X₃)²

(X₁)³ + (X₂)³ + (X₃)³ = (X₄)³

e.t.c. all of the form:

Σⁿi=1 (X_n )^m = (X_n+1)^m

The last expression may look weird to you, if you are not familiar with mathematical notation. It reads (in English): The summation from i = 1 to n, of X sub-n raised to the mth power, equals X sub-(n+1) raised to the mth power. It represents an infinite number of equations, progressively more complex, continuing the pattern of the first three. It represents what I call the “Conveyance Expression”, because, if restricted to whole numbers, the equations become Diophantine equations, conveying the inherent pattern of space, time and consciousness into the quantum world.

The first equation is a description of the simple addition of any two whole numbers (integers) to obtain a third whole number. The second equation represents the combination of two square areas to form a third square area, and the third represents the combination of three volumes to form a fourth volume. Quanta are three-dimensional, so the third equation, with the right numbers describes the combination of quarks to form a proton or neutron.

Now, here’s the interesting part:

The first equation is true for any set of whole numbers, for example, 1 + 2 = 3, 2 + 3 = 5, 4 + 5 = 9, etc. but the second is only true for certain specific whole numbers. For example,

3² + 4² = 5² or 5² + 12² = 13²

Combinations like 2² + 3², or 5² + 6² will not add up to squares. Fermat’s Last Theorem tells us that the equation (X₁)³ + (X₂)³ = (X₃)³ has no whole number solutions, but 

(X₁)³ + (X₂)³ + (X₃)³ = (X₄)³ does. For example:

(3)³ + (4)³ + (5)³ = (6)³

Check it out:

27 + 64 + 125 = 216

This means that two regular volumes cannot combine to form a third one, but three can combine to form a fourth regular volume. This is why three quarks, not two, or four, combine to form protons and neutrons. This works for quarks regardless of their shape. The details are spelled out in posts on this blog, and in a paper. entitled:

PUTTING CONSCIOUSNESS INTO THE EQUATIONS OF SCIENCE: THE THIRD FORM OF REALITY (GIMMEL) AND THE “TRUE” UNITS (TRIADIC ROTATIONAL UNITS OF EQUIVALENCE) OF QUANTUM MEASUREMENT

to be published soon.

It’s a little more complicated when you apply this to electrons, protons, neutrons, atoms and molecules, cells, mountains, rivers, solar systems, galaxies, and the whole universe, but the principle is the same. The whole universe is a mathematically consistent quantum structure, and TRUE unit analysis, based on relativistic principles can be used to describe it. This is how Transcendental Physics reconciles Relativity and Quantum Physics. The details are also posted on this blog.

A TRANSCENDENTAL PHYSICS UPDATE AND SUMMARY

A TRANSCENDENTAL PHYSICS UPDATE AND SUMMARY

Since initiating this blog in 2012, I have now entered 108 posts, including a number of videos, published papers, explanations and comments related to the inclusion of consciousness in the equations of theoretical physics, which I call Transcendental Physics, and the collaborative work with Dr. Vernon Neppe, MD, PhD, on the Triadic Dimensional Vortical Paradigm, a shift moving science beyond the current standard model, which is a materialistic, reductionist, incomplete picture of reality.

The number of visits to this website is now approaching 50,000 and there were 129 visits yesterday. With over 100 entries posted, people new to the site are asking questions like: Which post or posts will give me a quick overview? Does your theory really resolve the Holy Grail of theoretical Physics by including relativity and quantum physics under one consistent, workable theory? If so, How? What are TRUE units? And how do they differ from Planck units?

The purpose of this post is to provide easy access to a basic understanding of this material and answers to these questions

We live in a quantized physical world. A world composed of whole numbers of a basic unit. How do we know that? Planck discovered that energy occurs only in multiples of a quantum unit, never a fraction. And Einstein proved that mass is frozen energy. If energy is quantized, then so is mass, because E = mc².

In physics, Planck units are physical units of measurement defined exclusively in terms of universal physical constants that take on the numerical value of 1 when expressed in terms of these units. Planck units are very useful in theoretical physics because they elegantly simplify the mathematical statements of physical law by replacing the arbitrary units of inches and feet, centimeters and meters, pounds and grams, miles and kilometers, etc. TRUE units are Triadic Rotational Units of Equivalence. While Planck units normalize space, time, mass and energy in the equations of physics, they fail to normalize all quantitative parameters occurring in the equations of science.  The problem is not a short coming of Planck units, but a short coming of the mathematics being used. The calculus of Newton and Leibniz is based on continuity and infinitesimal that can approach infinitely close to zero. This is inappropriate in a quantized reality.

I developed a new calculus, The Calculus of Distinctions to replace Newtonian calculus with a mathematics that includes the action of consciousness. Application of this new calculus to relativity and quantum mechanics required replacing Planck units with TRUE units. TRUE units are derived from the relativistic equivalence of mass, energy, space, time and consciousness at the quantum level. TRUE units replace the infinitesimals of Newtonian calculus.

To gain a basic understanding of this, without learning a whole new system of mathematical logic, scroll down to the post “True Quantum Units, 3 Dimensions of Time and the Big Bang Myth” posted May 5, 2015 (my son Joshua’s birthday).

These four short videos should give you the basics.

WHAT ARE DIMENSIONS

WHAT ARE DIMENSIONS?
By Edward R Close

Length, Width, Height, curled-up, space-like, time-like, separate, connected, embedded - What are Dimensions? 

Do we live in 3 dimensions? 

Do we live in a 4-dimensional domain?

Or are there more dimensions existing beyond Einstein's space-time?

Learn how the extra dimensions proposed in the Close/Neppe TDVP science of the future relate to familiar known dimensions, what they are, and even where they are located. This new understanding of the reality of extra dimensions opens the door to a science that includes consciousness and spirituality.
