Pages New Dacian's MedicineThe First Steps of Laws of the Universe (Part I)

Now, to go further, it’s necessary to see what is with the laws underlying the functioning of the Universe (as far as is known, it can be deduced, at this moment). Whether they are physical, quantum laws, or the laws of divine power.

From what we „deduced” in the previous post we have: 1. everything is energy (especially the void), absolutely everything is defined by its manifestation and, 2. everything is in a process of stabilization (evolution). Note: it will be a bit boring to „carry” the conclusions post by post but, well, you understand (so thank you for the understanding!) …

Starting from „everything is energy”, it would be good to remember that energy is the basis of everything in this universe. Energy manifested in the form of quants (as it results from string theory), of vibrating energy strings and, depending on this vibration, gives a „vibrational sense”, a manifestation of matter.

It’s something similar to an orchestra that interprets, on stringed instruments, the cosmic symphony (of the universe) that is within and around us. And, the dimensions of these strings can be deduced from the following comparison: if we increased the size of an atom to the dimensions of the solar system, the size of such a string would be the size of a tree.

In all this material (and in the following, I will „seek” to go into a little into detail as possible like formulas, academic definitions, or the like, which, conceptually, are difficult to „perceive” by most „high school” (maximum) physicists.

No matter how hard you try, you cannot learn physics, from these particularly profound laws of physics, if you don’t have the real ability to understand (physico-mathematical formulas are „understood”/ retained by almost all „those with training” but with the understanding „stays a little crazier”).

But they, those who understand even this first step (besides the theory of relativity and the other basic theories, even Newtonian), assure us that all these are real, but difficult to understand, accepted, etc. on their way to unifying theories into one, in the „Equation of God”.

In the idea of ​​accepting their efforts (and their capabilities) lies the history of the last 200 years in which efforts to understand the universe tend to converge to a single point (and this in the most certain way possible). The whole purpose of fundamental physics is to see more and more of the phenomena of the world (and of the universe) with the help of increasingly simple and lesser theories (possibly only one). Let’s try to clarify „some” by giving up my „joke” with understanding …

Thus, this theory (of the strings) states that everything in the universe, from the smallest particle to the entire universe itself, is composed of a single type of „manifestation” (ingredient): energy thread unimaginably small, in the form of a line (strings) that vibrates and, depending on the existing vibration, gives birth to an element of material manifestation.

They vibrate in a myriad of ways to create all the material manifestations (perceived and unperceived, even anti-material) existing in our universe, current these days.

String theory is still in its infancy, but it gives us a new, unified image of everything around us. But, this „beginning” status, of „perception” of vibrational manifestation, has a price: 6 „basic” theories, parallel universes (as we saw in the previous post), and 11 manifestation dimensions.

Our knowledge, for the moment, through mathematical or physical „levers”, has reached this impasse (where you can say that there are already 6 theories of strings that have „perfect structure”, explaining different „vibrating regions” of the universe known to us). Thus, we have a „something” that comes out of the territory of science, with the means of science, and it seems more philosophy, something that „shows us” that the universe is a strange place than most of us can imagine.

But in a way, to understand something, it is good to go through the history of (really important) discoveries that have led to our „quantum” ideas from now on!

It all started with an apple that fell from a tree (in 1665), others say it started with a scroll of paper escaped by Isaac Newton while moving in a carriage (the apple being just „fiction”, a kind of analogy with the „Eve’s apple”).

Important is that it started with a fall of something. His „observation” didn’t start from the question of what causes the apple to fall (which was „the spark”) but from the desire to be able to understand the mechanisms that make the stars, planets, etc. to behave as they do.

And so he discovered gravity and issued the gravitational theory. This was the first step towards what will be the tendency to unify theories in physics. For those times, the proclamation of gravitational force was a real revolution, especially as it „associated” this „physical behavior” with both the falling of an object on earth and the movement of the stars.

Thus, with one law, Newton unified the sky with the earth in a single theory he called „The Gravity” – G. Thus, gravity was the first force that was scientifically understood, its equations being used even today. Scientists only needed Newton’s equations to „trace” the course of the first shuttle that carried the man on the moon.

However, there was a problem. While his laws accurately described the power of gravity, Newton didn’t know how gravity works. For nearly 250 years, scientists have not been „bothered” by this, although they have been looking for „details” long before Einstein. And so the adventure of unifying physical theories continued.

Then, in the mid-1800s, electricity, and magnetism attracted the interest of scientists. These two forces appeared to have a strange relationship, of dependence and mutual determination (through experiments known at that time such as an electric current passing through a metal spire determines the appearance of a magnetic field or a magnet passing through the inside of a metallic spire, causes the appearance of an electric current), seized and exploited, for example, by Samuel Morse. He, after the making of the telegraph, sent electrical signals to a magnet thousands of miles away, and so we had the telegraph available, although its mechanism was a mystery.

This mystery was solved by James Clerk Maxwell, the relationship between electricity and magnetism being unified (he noted that during lightning storms – electrical manifestations – the compass needle „went crazy” due to magnetic manifestations). Thus, Maxwell managed to identify an „elegant” set of 4 mathematical equations that unified electricity with magnetism in a single force that would be called electromagnetism.

This becomes the first example of „connection”, of different forces having a common basis, in a single theory, in a single principle, practically launching the concept of unifying all concepts into one.

The next step was taken by Albert Einstein who came and completed the Newtonian concept of gravity and made us understand what gravity is.

Somewhere, in the early 1900s, Einstein, an unknown official who worked at his office at the Swiss Patent Office, while doing his job at patent applications, was „studying” the behavior of light. His meditation on this will be what will make him „solve” much of the mystery „left” by Newton.

And, at just 26 years old, Einstein made an amazing discovery that the speed of light is a kind of cosmic limit of motion that cannot be exceeded. Then he realized that what he found was at odds with gravity theory. The problem was that the idea that nothing could move faster than the speed of light „contradicts” Newton’s laws.

To understand what the contradiction is, one has to imagine the situation in which the Sun would disappear instantly (well, this is impossible, but the considerations will reveal the contradiction). In mathematics, this „process” is called „reduction to the absurd”.

According to Newton’s theories, planets lacking the gravitational „support” (attraction) of the Sun, would immediately emerge from their orbits by entering a straight-line displacement according to the moment they lost the gravitational „support” (the gravitational attraction of the Sun being the one that keeps the planets in their circular orbits, whatever, elliptical).

Newton, by his theory, postulates that gravitational force acts instantaneously over any distance and thus the effect would be as described above. But Einstein, who knew that the maximum speed is that of light, understood that an effect of losing gravitational support cannot be felt as quickly as just over 8 minutes, as much as it takes light (or darkness induced by the lack of the sun, the lack of its light emission, in the case of the example considered by us) to reach from the Sun to the Earth.

And, the time came when the question was asked: „If Newton’s theory was wrong, how are the planets placed like this?” Einstein had to solve this problem.

And, when he was approaching 30 years old, he had to come up with a new image of the universe, in which the gravity didn’t exceed the maximum universal speed, the one represented by the speed of light. And after 10 years of work he found the answer in a new kind of unification.

Einstein came to believe that the 3 dimensions of space (the universe) and the dimension of time are united in a single structure he calls „space-time”.

He hoped that by understanding this „whole” we could talk about things moving on the surfaces of this space-time structure. Like the surface of an elastic (flat-shaped) trampoline, this structure is deformed and stretched by objects (forming a kind of „funnel” in a material presence point), depending on their mass dimensions.

And, this distortion or curvature (the distortion, as we called it in the previous post) of spacetime creates what we call gravity. Thus, the planets are not „held” in place by the gravitational attraction because they follow the curves (present on the edges of the „funnel”, at various levels of interaction depending on the masses of the interacting objects) in the space-time structure caused by the presence of the Sun.

Thus, in the suggested experiment, the one with the disappearance of the Sun, it would cause a wave-like those on a lake, to return of curvature caused by the Sun (from the Sun, as a manifestation center, to the outside), to the horizontal (towards a flat surface, unaffected by the space-time distortion induced by the Sun), a wave that would move until it reaches the Earth, which, from that moment will enter in a linear displacement (conforming, if it can be said so, to the laws of Newtonian physics).

Furthermore, Einstein calculated that these gravitational waves travel exactly at the speed of light. He called this „new image” of gravity „general relativity.”

Then came Einstein’s desire to unify gravitational theory (G) with that of electromagnetism (EM), he is one of the physicists who declared, I wanted to know how God thinks (how he thought), that is to have the overall image.

What made him wholeheartedly believe that unification is „real”?!? Well, the fact that gravity acts with the speed of light and light is an electromagnetic manifestation, clearly being a kind of symmetry (quite simple, isn’t it?).

But, the main problem that was hit was the differences of „power” between the two forces, the gravity being, in fact, very small, billions of times smaller, compared to electromagnetism, and thus, becoming insurmountable obstacles that overshadowed the similarities between them.

To understand this difference, you have to imagine that gravity manages to „attract” because it acts „due to” huge amounts of matter, the cumulative effect of which can give „perception” of this force.

I will go further by imagining a kind of example from which to realize the differences between these forces. For example, the fact that you are standing on the ground is due to a small extent to gravity, which pulls you towards the center of the mass agglomeration represented by the Earth, towards a so-called center of gravity.

If the gravity were as compared to the electromagnetic force, the one that holds matter in its form and opposes our passage through it, the one that keeps us going to the center of gravity, then, obviously, we would set aside, at proper, the matter that „opposes” electromagnetically and we move towards the center of gravity, eventually we would stop somewhere, at a distance from this center, where the gravitational force would be comparable to the electromagnetic force that holds matter in its shape and opposes to our passage through it.

By imagining your passage through a liquid (water or air/gas), it is obvious that this passage would be easier and then the forces would be as comparable. But air and water are „rarefied” material forms, if I may say so, in which electromagnetic forces are minimal.

But, more simply, think of picking up a fallen apple on the floor. How easily do you defeat gravity by lifting it?!? And this with the help of electromagnetism in your muscles and your body. Anyway, mathematical-physically, it has been calculated that gravity is less than 10 at power 38 (number 1 followed by 39 zeros) than the electromagnetic force.

And, for the last 20 years of his life, Einstein has done everything in his power to find the unique theory, the one powerful enough to be able to unify, describe all the mechanisms of the universe, the „all things” theory. But he didn’t make it.

In parallel, in the 1920s, a group of scientists led by Niels Bohr discovered a new realm of physics represented by atomic physics. They found that atoms, considered the smallest constituent of matter, were in turn composed of subatomic particles (protons, neutrons around which orbiting electrons).

Existing theories did not work to explain these „findings”. It was necessary to be able to explain what happens to the nucleus during the interactions, and the old theories were inappropriate. Gravity was irrelevant, being too small, and electromagnetism wasn’t enough. Without a theory to explain this strange world it was obvious why quantum physics (quantum mechanics) appeared.

It was the time when physicists were divided into two camps, one that uses general relativity to study large and heavy objects such as stars, galaxies, or the universe as a whole and another that uses quantum mechanics (physics) to study the smallest material objects such as atoms and particles. Something like two families who never get along and never talk to each other, taking care of the same children.

That’s because quantum mechanics was such a radical theory that it completely shattered how the universe was viewed before.

Einstein’s theories said that the universe is orderly and predictable, but Niels Bohr (and his group) no longer supported this, at the level, of atoms and particles, the world being chaos, a game of chance, uncertainty being what rules everything.

The best thing you can do, according to quantum physics, is to predict the chance or probability that one thing or another will happen. Thus, it was concluded that things in the „quantum world” are completely different from what we are used to. The quantum world is in itself a madness for ordinary considerations, but taking the world at a very small, atomic level.

A „useful” comparison would be to imagine that we’re going to a „quantum bar”. Here we will ask for a drink, for example, orange juice. The attractive bartender will answer: „I will try!”, looking at us strangely because he is not accustomed to the consumers who are asking for something specific, here where everything is driven by chance.

Thus, when we want orange juice there is a particular probability of receiving something like this. And, if we get something else it is not a reason for disappointment, the orange juice being the option to receive it in another universe, parallel, real to the ones there (or even in it, but with great probabilistic „luck”).

Don’t say „Totally wrong”! This is scientifically proven. Or, remember, the Earth was like a plate and many died because they claimed it was spherical! Quantum mechanics also says that things that can’t happen can happen.

Maybe, from here, a kind of clear misunderstanding between Einstein’s physics and atomic physics started, and everything was, in fact, complementary, mutually supporting each other. Or, maybe, at that time, they weren’t discovered enough to be able to achieve the compromise, from the start.

Einstein’s idea (final wish) is continued, through the theorists of quantum physics through string theory (quantum theory) who know that not everything is ordered and predictable.

For example, quantum physics has shown (and beyond) that there is a chance that something will easily pass through a wall, or that someone will teleport to a certain location (of course, within a range of probabilities that is quite small).

Do you still find these things meaningless (or don’t believe in „illusionists” who do this repeatedly, discovering what is the way to maximize and/or control the chances of these „blasphemies” happening)?!?

And, if even Einstein was unable to understand these things (he said, „God doesn’t roll dice!”), why should you stop? Either you understand, simply, intuitively, or … Just ignore it! The idea that all we can do is calculate the chances that things will go in one direction or another is hard to accept (Easy?!? Hmmm, maybe only to the hardened bets).

Love, Gratitude, and Understanding!
