Conception of reality

• Defines the background for human existence – where we live, what can be done

• the main features of an accustomed paradigm do notchange often

• Three deep revolutions in Western culture – antiquity, the turn of modern era, now

• metaphysical presuppositions change – the historical process is guided by natural

science and philosophy

– physics is important for understanding the nature ofreality


















The historical process tospell out a world-view

• progress when new invariances and inter-

connections are found• wider variety of phenomena is covered by one and the

same mathematical formalism

• stimulates philosophical thinking

• characteristically focused on the examinationof the interrelations between substance,

space, time, and motion.• DU reveals an unexpected, and extremely

significant connection between theseperennial concepts.




Antiquity – The Pre-Socratics (600-400 B.C)

• The Milesian school, Heraclitus, Pythagoras,Parmenides, Empedocles, the Atomists...

– what is basic: substance (apeiron), change, mathematicalharmony, logic, the invariable

– central problems: the relation between, being and

becoming, one and many, temporal and eternal – Plato and Aristotle (423-322 B.C)

• argued against Atomists

– mechanical materialism cannot explain organic phenomena or theactivity of humans

• matter and form are connected; matter needs the form

– Plato’s world of ideas or Aristotle’s potentiality

– Reality is comparable to an organism• it includes a soul and is able to regulate itself





















Reality is one-micro- and macrocosm

-the constitution of the whole is reflected in humans



The turn of the modern era• Copernicus, Kepler, Galilei, Newton

• strict mathematical theory concerning the movement ofbodies

– unites the ideas of Pythagoras and the Atomists

• new cosmological order and locus for earth

• mechanistic-deterministic conception of reality• atomism, reductionism, determinism

– matter in motion

» teleology, abstract essence and activity inherent inmatter were considered as irrelevant.

– Reality is comparable to a clockwork

• mechanical, quantitative, without purpose



Reality consist of matter in motion

-you cannot find a soul

Reality is comparable to a clockwork



But modern physics collapsed the

common world view...• Theory of relativity connected time and

space – Time intervals and spatial separations became

frame-dependent

• Body’s velocity, length or kinetic energy cannot beinvariant, real properties.

• Quantum phenomena can not be understood

within the particle-mechanistic framework• wave-particle dualism, entanglement, statisticalpredictions, measurement problem …

The foundational presuppositions of classical physicsare just half-truths, suitable for macroscopic world.



Open philosophical questions

• Nature of objects and their attributes• Relation between mass and energy

• Reality of fields• Locality

• Shape and destiny of the universe



The Dynamic universe• A holistic framework covering all phenomena

from micro structures to cosmology – a precise, highly structured mathematical

formalism with strict, parameter-free predictions

• surpasses the scope and capacity of present theories

– a renewed, comprehensive conception about the

composition and development of reality• unites the basic features of organism

and clockwork

– by disclosing a hidden motion in the 4th dimension



The universe in a nutshell:

• BEING is based on mass and gravitation, which are eternal.

• BECOMING follows from energy excitation which gives rise to an

evolving 4-sphere.– the evolution of the sphere is fuelled internally via motion in the fourth

dimension.

– part of the primary energy converts into material structures in space.• SPACE takes shape as the surface of the expanding 4-sphere

– most of the universe is outside space, i.e. the observed external reality

• ONTOLOGICAL STRUCTURES, the objects in space, arecomposed of energised mass, and thus they have internal andexternal aspects.

• Because of GRAVITATION local structures are interconnected to,

and counterbalanced by the rest of the universe.



Universe is temporal,

4-dimensional sphere

The evolving entity iscomposed of energised

mass,

and it contains internal

and external aspects.

It is “aware” of its

innumerable layers andsub units through

gravitation. .

Humans are internally and externally relatedto the whole



4-dimensional sphere• Mass, energy, space and motion are

inseparably linked together – hidden motion of dynamic 4-sphere is derived frommass, gravitation, and the zero-energy principle

• defines the size and evolution of space, as well asthe energy content of mass

• geometrical, but unaccessible fourth dimension – material, electromagnetic etc. phenomena spring from

the abstract, immaterial realm of being• Volume and internal hierarchy of natural world

expands.

• Energy is real, locality can be maintained.



The whole defines the parts

• DU is not based on bodies and their kinematictranslation in space but on mass and zero-energy

balance – atomistic reductionism is left behind

• reality is not reducible to matter in motion, to the discrete“dead” particles of the Atomists

– reality is dynamic, structured whole

• Every individual part has certain locus, energystructure, and degrees of freedom within thewhole via the system of nested energy frames – frames provide both local and universal state of rest

• Access from a phenomenal world to a morefundamental reality.



• The primary motion of mass, balanced bygravitation, generates a chain of nestedenergy frames

• Frames are local structures, closed energy objects,

which have a strict share of the total energy – All energy frames are omnipresent. They interpenetrate

being throughout in contact.

– The energy state of the frame reflects its relation to the

whole and determines the energy states available for sub-objects

• Material bodies are closed energy structures in theirparent frames

– specific amount of mass (k,λ

) is united to all possibleenergy structures

Energy frames aredescribed as realextended objects whose

total energy is zero.-Each frame hosts a strictshare of the total mass of theuniverse

Material bodies andparticles are describedas closed energy

structures or sub frameswithin their parentframes

The multiplicity of the units is a result of diversification of the whole

New conception of mass andmatter

• Mass as such is abstract and formless, devoidof dimensional extension – mass is not an amount of some impenetrable solid

stuff, neither is it a property of matter or fields. – mass is the basic substance, the abstract,

persistent “core of being”

• Mass that manifests itself in the form of objectis excited by energy• Mass resembles the formless “materia prima” of Aristotle.

It receives a form through localised energy structures.

– Revival of the form, active principle withinmaterial things.



Waves and particles

– The union of mass and energy is basic for all physicalstructures and their interactions.

• The basic form for energised mass is wave (k).• In a case of a particle mass wave is captured into a closed

energy structure

– a particle serves as a sub-frame which is able to host specific

energy states. – When a particle moves in an local frame, its internal

wave structure creates an external wave frontpropagating parallel with the particle.

• the wave front transfers the real part of particle’s momentum

– This account of particles provides a new option tounderstand wave-particle dualism and quantum non-

locality.



The frame influences the

behaviour of its parts – Young’s double slit experiment

• the frame is different when one or two slits are open,or when the experimental set up is changed in anyother way

• the frame hosts the propagation of the wave fronts

and the particles related to them – when just one slit is open the wave front does

not interfere and particles end up in differentlocations

-EPR-paradox• the pair of particles created together always belong

to the same frame which determines their externalbehaviour (containing “knowledge” of the whole)

Inherent holism explains apparent non locality



Why does DU clarify conceptual

difficulties within QM ? – It gives a consistent wave description of things. By

stripping c from Planck’s constant DU reveals auniversal wave number equivalence for mass,applicable to matter, radiation and electricity.

– It takes a detached, external viewpoint by startingfrom the zero energy balance of the whole. Theuniversal framework provides a consistent handling

of all physical phenomena and evolution on space.

Why does DU clarify the ambiguitiesin theory of relativity ?



Time in DU

– DU takes a Newtonian view on time

• Time and distance are absolute coordinatequantities. – the time interval between any given pair of events is

independent of observers

– simultaneity means that events happen at the same time

• they do, if the observation delays, and the fact that theinternal frequencies of atomic clocks depend on their

energy state, are taken into account• This universal (“timeless”) framework reveals

universe to be dynamic 4-dimensional entity, whichgoes through all instances from past to future.

DU gives a natural direction for the flow of time-the time development is irreversible (within a cycle)and there is a foundation for the moment now



Irreversible flow of time

• Corresponds to human observation

– classical physics and relativity are reversibletheories, and thus they do not distinguish past andfuture and have no foundation for the idea of

flowing time or the concept of now

• History is real

– previous constructions and frames do haveinfluence on current happenings



Dynamic Universe and

the Conception of Reality

SUMMARY

DU meets all the criteria for a qualified scientific theory.It is clear, consistent, and parameter-free. It is

in excellent agreement with observations.Moreover, DU throws new light to perennial philosophical

questions from cosmology to epistemology

studying the relations between the individuals and thecontext, abstract and concrete,

internal and external etc.
