WHAT IS STRING THEORY?

Following on from the previous post, “WHAT IS A PARTICLE?” particle physicists (at least some of them) know that there are serious problems with the Standard Model. But, based on their tacit assumption that reality is nothing more than matter and energy interacting in space-time, it is all they have. It’s the ‘if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail’ syndrome. With due respect, what they don’t seem to realize is that their most basic assumptions are wrong.  Assuming that reality is made up of particles, they attack the problem of determining the nature of reality like yesteryear’s carpenter, with two ineffective tools: a 300-year-old saw and a brute-force hammer. The 300-year-old saw is the calculus of Newton and Leibniz, and the brute-force hammer is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). There are numerous clues from the empirical evidence of quantum and relativistic experiments that there is more to reality than matter and energy interacting in space-time, but mainstream science does not have a good history of reacting favorably to being told that they are wrong.

String theory arose from recognizing that assuming reality is composed of particles stuck together to form the structures of the physical universe led to some unresolvable problems, - like particles that weren’t particles. So what if electrons, protons, neutrons, etc., are vibrating strings? This made possible an acceptable conceptual relationship between particles and waves, and led to a number of elegant and interesting multi-dimensional theories involving physical structures consisting of vibrating strings and ‘branes’(short for membranes). But no one could explain where the strings and branes might come from, and the problem with string theories is not that that they are necessarily incorrect, they are internally mathematically correct, but that they contain mathematical concepts that do not exist in reality. Because of this, they cannot be verified empirically and they lead to some of the same problems that we find in the standard model of particle theory.

To understand how string theories contain mathematical concepts that do not exist in reality, we must go back to Euclid’s axioms. Euclid’s axioms are based on the idealized concepts of mathematical singularities (dimensionless points), one-dimensional lines, and two dimensional planes. These mathematical objects do not exist in a quantized reality. The dimensionless point must be replaced by the minimum quantum volume (the TRUE quantum equivalence unit), and the axioms and fundamental operations of mathematics revised accordingly. When this is done, the calculus of Newton is replaced by the logically prior Calculus of Distinctions, the comprehensive mathematical system of TDVP. 

The ‘Standard Model’ is incomplete, as models always are, per Gӧdel’s incompleteness Theorems. But a major problem with the Standard Model as I see it, is that it has incorporated parts of the discoveries of Einstein and Planck, but has ignored or rejected the most important parts of their insights. Planck said: “There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.” And Einstein said: “Space time is not necessarily something to which one can ascribe a separate existence. Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended. In this way, the concept of empty space loses its meaning.” And “I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know his thoughts. The rest are details.” From many things they said, it is clear that both Planck and Einstein saw the universe, as a manifestation of God’s thoughts. The Standard Model ignores this, but this is exactly the position of TDVP: 

Infinite Consciousness is the source and substance of reality.

String theorists pick and choose, accepting the axiomatic bases of relativity and quantum theory, but rejecting the comprehensive conclusions of Planck and Einstein because of the materialistic bias of mainstream science. Mainstream science is largely controlled by agnostics and atheists who are embarrassed by the spirituality of the great minds of science, and the mainstream scientists who believe in an intelligence behind reality must bow to the political correctness of academia for fear of losing their jobs and research funding. As a result, mainstream academic science has become an elitist priesthood, replacing organized religion, meting out the truth as they see it, and suppressing any idea that does not conform to their agenda.

WHAT ARE DIMENSIONS

WHAT ARE DIMENSIONS?
By Edward R Close
June 19, 2015

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.

THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING

At 7:00 AM, this morning, February 27, 2015, I googled “Theory of Everything”. Sites with information on the new movie about the life of Stephen Hawking came up first, and my post, “THE UNIFICATION OF QUANTUM PHYSICS, RELATIVITY AND THE TDVP THEORY OF EVERYTHING”, with 15,940 views, came up next.

Like the character, Walter O’Brien, says in the intro to the TV series “Scorpion”, I have one of the highest IQs ever documented. But, I quite agree with Stephen Hawking when he says “people who brag about their IQs are losers”. So, why would I say such a thing?

I am saying it because it is true. I am a “Distinguished Member” of the most restrictive high IQ organization on the planet, even though I didn’t seek that membership, and I am saying it to get your attention, because I believe it is vitally important, even crucial for the future of humankind, that the world understands what a real theory of everything has to be.

I admire Stephen Hawking and honor him for all he has accomplished, but note that, in his 1988 book, “A Brief History of Time”, he predicted that a theory of everything would be in hand by 2000. That didn’t happen, and since then, at least a dozen books have been published by or about Stephen Hawking and the theory of everything. But still, no theory of everything.

Hawking thinks that M-Theory is best candidate. He says it is “a theory that unites all five string theories, as well as super gravity, within a single theoretical framework, but which is not yet fully understood”. The M-Theory, however, is not a theory of everything. Why? Because it simply does not include everything! There are no variables in the equations of M-Theory for consciousness. Consciousness connects physical reality with spiritual reality, giving rise to the better qualities in human beings, like honesty, integrity, loyalty, reverence, compassion, and love, yet it is nowhere to be found in any of mainstream science ‘theories of everything’.

Why would scientists call a theory restricted to physical phenomena a ‘theory of everything’? It’s simply because physicists focus on physics. If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. I know this well, because of my years of training as a physicist and mathematician. 

The portrayal of a ficticious young theoretical physicist, Dr. Sheldon Cooper, on the TV show “The Big Bang Theory” is an exaggeration for comedic effect to be sure, but the character does resemble some intelligent people I know. But, be assured, a real theory of everything is not going to come from highly educated individuals, however high their IQs may be, if they are adolescents spiritually, socially and emotionally handicapped as a result.

Physicists have been seeking a ‘theory of everything’ ever since Albert Einstein spent his final years trying to find a unified field theory. But, by ‘a theory of everything’, physicists simply mean a theory that will accurately explain how mass and energy interact in space and time, from the quantum level to the level of galaxies and the whole universe. Such a theory should answer many questions about the physical workings of the universe and advance modern technology, but cannot answer many of the really important questions like: Why is there something rather than nothing? What is the ultimate nature of reality? What is the meaning and purpose of life? What is consciousness? And how does it relate to physical reality? Who or what are we? Where did we come from, and where are we going?

Dr. Vernon Neppe, MD, PhD, an internationally renowned neuroscientist, and I, with the combined experience of nearly 100 years as scientists, have developed the Triadic Dimensional Vortical Paradigm (TDVP). TDVP provides a new, comprehensive basis not just for physics, but for all of the sciences, including the life sciences, psychology, studies of consciousness and even rare event phenomena. TDVP answers many of the most puzzling questions of modern physics, unifies classical science, modern science and parapsychology, and provides answers to more important questions about the purpose and meaning of consciousness and life in the universe.
