What Did van Gogh Imagine When He Painted This Picture?Apparently he did not think that the field of gravitation has generated all.

Yet, his painting convey the ‘reality’ that all living and non-living systems are embedded in a 'field of brush strokes’, which, by themselves, in their very shape, direction and rhythm,

convey the presence of flux, structure, cosmos and universal field of force, which penetrates all things

and is at one with land, life, sky and the stars.

The telescope at one end of his beat,And at the other end the microscope,

Two instruments of equal hope …Robert Frost

If you can look into the seeds of time,And say which grain will grow and which will not,

Speak then to me …William Shakespeare

One must always look beyond earth5.3, the solar system5.1; 5.3, our galaxy5.4 and our local group of galaxies5.5, while comprehending about the dark-cold,expanding-‘voids’-Space-14.4 that wraps all superclusters of galaxies4.13

(Diagram below) and assessing its everlasting control on everyday life, and its origin (p.20; p.89).

The “Kingdom of Darkness” [‘voids’ in Figs. 1.1 & 1.2, p.4] illuminates some dark corners of science, and is more important, and interesting, as demonstrated by this book, than all the shining sources combined.

Our universe contains billions of gravity-structured galaxies (e.g., upper picture), each (e.g., right), containing billions of gravity-structured stars. Only Space-1 expands(Diagram & Figs. 1.1; 1.2, p.4). Without its expansion no process in the cosmos, including life, is possible (p.9-13, 89). Gravity and Space-1-Expansion generate all chemistry4.1, plant and animal behavior (Chapter 6), black holes4.3, time, biological time, brain-mind perceptions (p.12), orientation, written languages, socio-biological concepts [Chapters 5 & 6], gravity-natural-selection and key concepts in the ‘exact & life sciences’ and the ‘humanities’ (Chapters 1 to 8).

outlook (p.2) opens new intellectual horizons by crossing frozen disciplines and re-assessing afresh key concepts in the ‘exact & life sciences’ and the ‘humanities’.

Fig. 1.1: Space-1 Genesis. Expansion of the previously opaque universe (Chapter 1, p.40) forms the shown expanding, cold ‘voids’ [SPACE-1, (Blue)] and hotter matter emitters of radiation in Spaces 3 & 2 (p.3). Space-1 was formed below 3000K (starting at around 300,000 years post Genesis). Photons, neutrinos and anti-neutrinos3.2 then escaped from the newly-formed aggregations of nuclei, and were irreversibly absorbed in the newly-formed, unsaturable sink: SPACE-1 [Fig. 1.2 below]. About 2 billion years post Genesis, these gravity-induced, proto-massive-entities, were already condensed and heated for nuclear fusion4.2 to start. This NASA picture shows that, on a large scale, the early universe was isotropic and homogeneous in terms of distribution of cold ‘voids’, hot matter-structures-emitters and their maximum temperatures4.1. There had been no net energy flow across adiabatic envelopes 4.15 in Space-1. [Cf. Fig. 1.2 below]

Fig. 1.2: The largest portrait of the universe [NASA]. The ‘voids’ that compose Space-1 (dark-cold spaces observed in between shining filaments or clouds of superclusters), have increased in size (Cf. Fig. 1.1) These ‘voids’ are interconnected in Space-1.Uniform maximum temperatures, isotropic & homogenous distribution of ‘voids’ & galaxies are preserved (CF. Fig. 1.1). No net flow of energy from one adiabatic ‘envelope’ 4.15 to another exists. These ‘envelopes’ wrap all superclusters. Studying one is similar to the difficult study of the whole universe. As a student, in 1958, I discovered the origin of irreversibility & time-asymmetries3.4 by examining just one such envelope (Appendix IV, p. 163).

SYNOPSIS I________________________________________

More than ever before the recent discoveries in astronomy and space research have forced us to re-assess many of our fundamental concepts in most branches of science and philosophy. Nevertheless, the Einsteinian relativistic gravity3.3 and quantum physics3.2 remain two different physico-philosophical world outlooks that are in constant conflict with each other3.5.

The fundamental dispute splits physics into at least two unbridgeable systems of thought, each involving far-reaching implications in general science, philosophy and education.

The disputed differences are between Einsteinian gravity physics3.3, 3.5

and quantum physics3.2; 3.5. These may be referred to as Type I Disputes.

Type II disputes is mainly amongst proponents of string theories4.6 to

4.11, the ‘cosmological constant’2.1 to 2.5; 4.5; 4.16, ‘dark matter’2.1 to 2.5; 4.17,

Faust: 'Tis writ: 'in the beginning was the Word!'I pause, to wonder what is here inferred?

The Word I cannot set supremely high,A new translation I will try.

I read, if by the spirit I am taught,This sense: 'In the beginning was the Thought'.

This opening I need to weigh again,Or sense may suffer from a hasty pen.

Does Thought create, and work, and rule the hour?'Twere best: 'In the beginning was the Power!'

Yet, while the pen is urged with willing fingers,A sense of doubt and hesitancy lingers.The spirit come to guide me in my need,I write, 'In the beginning was the Deed!'

‘pre-creation physics’, ‘pre-creation universes’ and the origin of irreversibility and time asymmetries in nature3.4; 3.5.

The Central Theme

The Central Theme of both this course and world outlook include two Branches: In the ‘Exact & Life Sciences’ & in the ‘Humanities’.

The ‘Exact & Life Sciences’ Branch focuses first on failures to unify the fundamental forces-fields-interactions in nature3.1-3.5, while claiming that the key reasons for these failures are:

(i) Attempts to unify fields-forces-interactions by false mixing of symmetric with asymmetric mathematics [Assertion S.1], instead of first unifying time asymmetries around verified general relativistic cosmology and Space-1-Expansion.3.4, 3.5, 4.15

(ii) Above 1028K, at black-hole’s4.3 gravitational-energy density, all fields-forces-interactions in nature3.1-3.3 are united within gravitation3.3 --the sole origin of all structures. [Table I, Chapter 1, p. 40; Assertion 1.1, p.47, Chapters 3 to 8; Footnotes 3.4, 3.5, 4.15, 4.6-4.12 and Volume I]

Assertion S.1

At gravitational-energy density of a massive black-hole4.3, but as a massive ‘white hole’, and above 1028K, all fields-forces-interactionsin nature3.1-3.3 are unified in what has evolved to be recognized by us 13.7 billion years later as general relativistic gravitation3.3 -- the sole origin of all time asymmetries3.4 and structures; the starting theory of any attempt to unify physics. [Table I, Chapter 1, p. 40; Assertion 1.1, p.47, Chapters

3 to 8; Footnotes 3.4, 3.5, 4.15, 4.6-4.12 and Volume I]

Irrespective of any mathematical funambulism performed in a proof, or a theory, symmetry is always conserved in the equations.

If one starts with symmetric equations, the result can never be asymmetric. Space and time in fundamental physics are

symmetric3.4. So are the laws of fundamental physics, except the 2nd

Law of thermodynamics. Similarly, asymmetry is conserved.Asymmetry can neither result from symmetry, nor vice versa.

(Yet, a Nobel Prize was awarded to I. Prigogine for presenting such a false ‘proof’ in violation of the laws of mathematics. Starting from Ritz wrongly attacking Einstein [1], all subsequent ‘Authorities’ have similarly failed3.4; 3.5; 4.6 'to 4.11. Endless publications in statistical & quantum

mechanics rely on false mathematical ‘proofs’ and wrong verbal, pre-mathematical definitions[Chapter 4] that fabricate ‘proven’ origins of time-asymmetry and irreversibility in nature.)

See also Assertion S.3

Beyond the issue of unifying fundamental physics [Chapter 3], this branch deals with astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology [Chapter 4], gravity-induced orientation, balancing, socio-biology, biological clocks and some medical treatments. [Chapter 6; This Synopsis] as well as with the limitations of applied mathematics, mathematically-based definitions, statements, theories and computer ‘proofs’ [Chapter 8].

The ‘Humanities’Branch deals with the origins of linguistics [Chapter 6],

world history [Appendix V] and a new world outlook ranging from Abrahamic religions [Appendix VI] to a fresh look on faith [Chapter 10, p.119];

from the origin of literature to a fresh view on socio-biology [Chapters 6,

p.89 & 10]; from the origin of animal and human physiological structures to education. Nevertheless, this branch begins with gravity-induced physico-philosophical issues that are presented in the opening pages, this Synopsis and the Introduction (p.32). It then proceeds in Chapters 6[p.89] & 10 [p.119], Appendix V (p.168) and Appendix VI (p.181). Beyond these one may consult Volumes I & II. [Cf. Table of Contents, p.20]

Recent Discoveries

Recent astronomical discoveries combined with advances in gravitational socio-biology [Chapter 6, p.89 and Refs. 9, 50], have generated a revolution in our understanding of the most critical roles gravity has played from the early cosmos to the origin of life, language and brain-mind perception of the world and everyday life.

The new discoveries have triggered a fresh world outlook that illuminates some dark corners of science and causes us to re-assess almost everything that we have so far taken for granted, including the apparent conflict between Genesis via astrophysics, astronomy and modern physics, and Genesis via the Bible. [Chapter 1, p.40; Appendix VI, p.181]

In fact, the new discoveries in the remote external world, including those made in bio-satellites and the Hubble Space Telescope, have generated a revolution in our understanding of our external vis-à-vis internal world; a scientific revolution without parallel in the whole recorded history of mankind; a fresh look at nature, which opens up new horizons and generates new needs to reexamine all previous cosmological, biological, behavioral and philosophical convictions. [Assertions S.2 and S.3]

Assertion S.2

Expanding Space-1 [Diagram, p.3] is composed of expanding ‘voids’ [Fig. 1.2,

p.4] and adiabatic envelopes 4.15 that are interconnected. Chapters 1 to 8

explain and illustrate how all time asymmetries3.4 and irreversibilities in nature are originated and caused by Space-1-Expansion -- the universal,

unsaturable sink4.4.

This new world outlook [Ref. 13; 1958-

1972] not only helps to unify physics [Assertion S.3], but extends beyond it into the domains of socio-biology, history the realities of the arts and religions,

including the asserted kind of DUALITY between science and

religion as different manifestations of one and the same reality.[chapter 10]

At the very core of this ‘external-to-internal’ revolution, we find gravity physics, gravitational-biology, gravity-perception, gravity-induced languages, gravity-induced socio-biology, geo-biological clocks and a new, gravity-induced, essence of natural selection in the living and non-living worlds [Chapters 2 to 8]. While Einstein's general relativity3.3, 3.5 remains the cornerstone of modern cosmology and astrophysics; the indispensable theory for understanding most of the new discoveries in astronomy, it is Newtonian gravity (that is included as an approximation in General relativity) that affects much of our everyday life. [Chapter 6]

Gravity, combined with updated observations in all fields of science, will guide us in structuring this book; starting from the very large cosmological structures and proceeding to the much smaller subatomic systems in which quantum physics still fails to explain the origin of time asymmetries and irreversibility in nature.

Can The Foundations of Science Be DeducedFrom Relativistic Cosmology?

Although some of the greatest scientists (from Newton to Einstein) studied cosmology and made substantial contributions to it - until recently it had a rejecting speculative image. Indeed, most scientists used to reject its importance, using such arguments as:

Why rely on anything based on information that had originated in remote, personally inaccessible regions of space and time? Should not we first

complete our local physics before we use strange astronomical data to reexamine the very foundations of science?

To begin with it should be stressed that such geocentric, or rather anthropocentric conceptions, are as common today as they had been in the times of Copernicus (who had dethroned the Earth and paid with his life for that), Shapley (who dethroned the Sun, but was not killed), and Baada (who dethroned our Milky Way, and nobody cared anymore). And they make cosmology and astrophysics difficult intellectual subjects, even to intellectually mature persons.

Indeed, astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology - unlike local physics, chemistry, and biology, are observational rather than experimentalsciences, since they deal with objects at such great distances as to be beyond the reach of direct, man-made experimentation.

Moreover, until recently these observations have been too scarce, and the ratio of speculation to fact too high, for cosmology, astronomy and astrophysics to qualify as "hard sciences."

Recent discoveries in space, however, have transformed the situation by yielding solid new data and drastically circumscribing both speculations and physico-philosophical outlooks and models.

This transformation is due largely to NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, new infrared, radio and X-ray techniques, including the use of gravitational lens to study the ‘dark-age’ epoch of our cosmos when it was 200,000 to 500,000 years old.

The new discoveries of supernovae4.1, quasars4.14 and black holes4.3 in the centers of galaxies4.5, and before, in 1964, the background black-body radiation4.12, have stimulated new interest in astrophysics, general


10

relativity, relativistic cosmology, remote planetary systems, the formation of stars, galaxies, clusters and super-clusters of galaxies4.13.

Indeed, of late, we have witnessed a new revival of astronomy, general relativistic cosmology and astrophysics, a renaissance sustained by an almost daily inflow of verified empirical information on the dynamic universe around us.

To deny today the central role of astronomy, cosmology and astrophysics in modern science is to deny the very methodology of science, and to reject a large portion of its empirical evidence. Most important, gravitation3.3 is the most universal, all embracing, field-force-interaction in nature. Unlike quantum physics 3.2, it is scale-free, namely, it is not confined, or limited to any scale, as quantum physics is3.2; 3.5.

Gravity Vs. Heart FailureAnd The Biology of Our Musculoskeletal System

The evolution and everyday functioning of our skeleton -- bones, legs, hips, joints, cartilages, ligaments, femurs, tibia, pelvis and muscles [64], has been "in response" to the force and direction of gravity.

Heart Failure vs. Gravity, say, in swollen legs, or flooded lungs cases involves the use of the gravity vector in medical treatments [64]. Nevertheless, the cardinal role gravity plays in the treatment of gravity-induced disorders in human biological systems, perception, health and longevity has been largely overlooked by health providers and bio-medical researchers, partly because the key role of gravity as the universal generator of all bio-structures, physiological forms, locations, disorders, orientation and organization has not yet been well appreciated. [9, 50, Volume I]

Gravity-Induced Socio-Biology & Brain-Mind Perception

Gravity penetrates all space and all physical and biological structures. It affects all cells in our body-brain, as well as plant growth and animal and human orientation and behavior in everyday life [Assertion S.1; Parts A &

B]. It also controls all ecological systems, while affecting the origin, growth and performance of cells in living organisms.


11

We are the ashes of dead stars, the remnants of a supernovae4.1 that had exploded when the universe has already passed more than half of its present age. Except hydrogen and helium, all chemical elements in the cosmos, and in our body, had been originated inside supernovae. The sin of these exploding massive stars was to convert, by nuclear fusion4.2, their light chemical elements, (hydrogen and helium) to heavier ones [oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, etc.], more quickly than do smaller stars, like our sun. It is always gravitation that plays the central role in the "selection" of the structures to be produced: First in controlling the cosmic expansion of inter-superclusters Space-14.4, then in forcing chemical evolution through a succession of specific reactions in which evolution means the development of complex elements from simple ones, i.e., of oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, silicon, etc. out of the hydrogen and helium in the stars4.1. [Hydrogen and helium make up about 99% of all observable matter in the universe. Hence, we and the planets in the solar system5.1, constitute just a little dirty stain in the vast ‘clean’ universe.]

Gravity is the only 'suitable' force that can build all the elements in the chemical periodic table by successively adding, in the hot interiors of active stars, small increments of mass and electric charge in selected combinations that are controlled by its force4.2. Thus, the building blocks of life had been originated by gravitation, and the entire evolution of life has since been controlled by it. [p.89]

Following such cosmological expansion and massive stars explosions4.1, the newly formed chemical elements cool and may combine to form molecules in deep-cold space, which is not entirely ‘empty’. In fact, the first local "aggregates" of matter in the solar system already contained some simple molecules, including some based on carbon. Again it was gravity that stratified all chemical compounds in ‘horizontal’ layers according to their specific gravity. Indeed, the geological strata of layers of rocks composed of one material, e.g., shale or limestone, lying between rock beds of other materials, have been structured by the "selective force of gravity”. Life is strongly affected and shaped by gravity. Some specific organelles and nuclei in biological cells are "heavier" than the rest of the cell, and serve as prime gravity-orientators. Such gravity orientators-pointers also allow plants to grow "vertically upward". Thus, gravity controls the direction of growth in roots, leaves, branches, etc. It also affects the movement of animals [50] in the sense


12

of giving a common reference for orientation, 'balancing', ‘coordination’ 'walking', and space perception. The response of living organisms to gravity may be initiated by changes in the distribution of pressure on sensitive locations, exerted either by the entire cell content, or by particles (statoliths) heavier or lighter than the surrounding cytoplasm. Gravity perception may also be caused by movements, or reorientation of such particles. Acceleration, by gravity, causes stresses to be set-up in cell membranes, or in the organ as a whole, which, in turn, generates a response vis-à-vis the gravity vector.

The Origin of Life and of Primitive Learning

Since all plants and animals have evolved under the influence of gravity, their form and structural development are strongly shaped by this pointed force. In turn, they have "learned" to exploit it and even to cope with it - learned in the evolutionary as well as in the ontogenetic sense of the development of the organism.

The sensing devices which plants and animals use for "gravity perception" ("gravity receptors", "g-perception", "bio-accelerometers", "gravity-induced biological clocks", etc.) are not yet well understood, even though a voluminous literature has been published on this subject.

But what we already know justifies the central role we expect gravity to play in life origin, control, orientation and adaptive processes. For instance, we know that if a growing higher plant is displaced with respect to the "upright" position, some tens of minutes later it will adapt its growth in such a way as to restore its original orientation in coincidence with the gravity vector. (If it is displaced only briefly and then restored to its original orientation well before the growth response can set in, it still responds to that displacement.) Indirect, gravity-induced orientation-adaptation of an organism may also occur when an organism orients itself by a gradient of density differences, or hydrostatic pressure.

The connection between gravitation and the origin of life, on one hand, and between gravitation and form, adaptive structure, growth rate, growth direction, adaptive behavior, navigation, and adaptive space perception, on the other, must therefore be studied. Indeed, a considerable empirical evidence has been accumulated so far on these


13

subjects [50, Volume I] by biophysicists, biologists, plant physiologists, botanists, zoologists and neuro-physiologists.

The Origin of Life, Biological Clocks and Innate Perception

The origin of temporal behavior in animals can be traced back in time and out to external physical influences. Even “innate patterns" are frequently associated with simple orientation movement in the field of gravity, i.e., as "upward-downward" ordering of biological systems in reaction to gravity. Consequently, gravity and geophysical periodicities emerge as prime sources of ordering, reproduction and simple orientation movements. Animals low on the evolutionary scale have a lesser adaptability to changes in the environment. Consequently, their dependence on heredity-geophysical-gravitational origins is high in proportion to animals high on the evolutionary scale.

Arrows of Time

It takes us some measurable time 'to read' a word, a sentence, a page, or a book, and even more so to 'comprehend' its meaning. I term this elapsing time, and its pointed direction, the 'Linguistic Arrow of Time'and maintain further that each word and each sentence, generates an irreversible 'Structural Space-Time Arrow' in our mind and/or a 'Space-Aggregated-Asymmetric-Picture' which points from the written-typed, form-configuration, or 'beginning', to their 'end' at the ‘right’ for Greek, Latin and English, etc., at the’ left’ for Hebrew and Arabic and ‘down’ for Chinese. Each letter-symbol, each word and each sentence is, therefore, an aggregated, configuration-boundary, gravity-oriented asymmetry on a page-space or on a computer display. Each generates an aggregated, configuration-boundary, gravity-oriented asymmetry in our brain-mind, where it is irreversibly recorded and associated with meaning introduced by education – the force that always controls the fate of nations, religions and civilizations. [Chapter 6, p.89 ]

Gravity-Induced Space-Time Perception

Our perception of time, space, symmetry, asymmetry and direction are similarly controlled by various gravity detectors (Chapter 5, p.89). These include displacement of cell parts, or of portions of multicellular structures, and intercellular structures. Much experimental evidence


14

collected in spacecraft proves that there is a loss of orientability in growing seeds under weightlessness ['zero gravity']. Animals are no exception. Each of us is 'conscious' of the common "up-down" surroundings, and about "weight" and acceleration [Ref. 51].

We are born with innate gravity-sensors. Gravity-sensors also tell trees how to grow vertically up, even on steep mountainsides. All these are normal external experiences directly controlled by gravity. More specific examples range from inertial changes of the fluid in the vertebrate inner ear to a crystallizing suspension of organic spheres in water. The earth's gravitational field produces an elastic deformationthat is readily observed through its asymmetric effect on the evolving crystal structure [Volume I]. These elastic forces play an important part in crystallized virus systems. Hence, the gravitational force provides not only a reference axis, but also a useful biological function that excludes foreign particles, such as antibodies, from a crystal. [Volume I].

Gravity-Induced Biosphere and Life

The gravity-induced life envelope of earth, comprising a very thin layer (surface and lower atmosphere), was created by the "selective force of gravity". It is therefore gravitational selection that puts carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor and lightning at one and the same layer for the generation of the first DNA and the beginning of biological evolution. And it is gravitational selection that protected the early products of this evolution from damaging external radiation by supplying the upper protective layer of ozone. [Volume I] Biological detectors of sound modulation have much to do with sensors for earth gravity; both are special kinds of bio-accelerometers. In other words, gravity, bio-accelerometers and the various ways organisms are affected by vibration are interrelated. [Volume I].

Our Brain-Mind Perception

As one reads this sentence, a corresponding aggregated asymmetry is generated inside his or her brain-mind. To conform with innate [Kantian-like] and external experiences, and to communicate with our society, we introduce 'grammar' - that which keeps universal 'space-time-order-of actions': What happened first, later, and in a 'universal-future-tense order-of-things'. What is past for one person must be valid, fixed and confirmed by all else. In short; each word and each sentence,


15

is equipped with an 'arrow of time' that 'forces order in our speech and life' and always points 'from past to future', and never in reverse.

To Conclude: Gravity generates structures and controls all geological layers and global phenomena ranging from mountain crests, tectonic folds, valleys, village and city structures, transportation systems, oceans and lagoons, to springs, wells, swamps, glaciers and rivers, as well as the ecological-systems connected with them.

Synopsis II

How To Use This Book________________________________________________________

There is hardly any good reason to select a level prior to reading the first pages, Synopsis I and the 9 Assertions in the Introduction (p. 32).

Level I. This multiple level is composed of a few sub-levels that can be adapted to local cultural-educational needs according to the guidelines presented in the Introduction and Appendix I: Homework and Grading, especially if used in ‘Adult-Education’, or even in a ‘High-School-CCCC’ [Cultural, Core Curriculum Course]. Readers may range from high-school pupils to adults interested in updating and advancing their education by self-help [Assertion IN.3].

Level II: The ‘Undergraduate Level’ is suitable for a two-semester course that includes the use of Volumes I and II [See Table of Contents, p.20).Comprehending the footnotes is recommended.The autodidactive methodology [Assertion IN.3] should be used when there is no qualified CCC-Coordinator.

Level III. The Central Theme (p. 6) crosses frozen disciplines in both the ‘exact sciences’ and the ‘humanities’. For graduate students this level is suitable for a two-semester course that includes selective parts of Volumes I and II, the footnotes andthe Appendices provided here. It is in Volume I where one finds mathematically-based theories, refutations of false ‘proofs’, critique of various ‘established’ theories, derivations of Einstein’s Field Equations [general relativity], quantum-statistical thermodynamics, Quantum Chromo-Dynamic [QCD], higher levels of philosophy and re-assessment of the nature of time, time arrows, linguistics and current studies of brain-mind aggregations-perceptions. Volume II: Critique of Western Thought, provides six Lectures, mainly in the domain of the ‘humanities’. The autodidactive methodology[self-help] is best used when there is no qualified CCC-Coordinator, or when this book is used by faculty, independent scientists, people of the arts, theists, or dropouts, for themselves.

The Origin of the Deepest Crisis in Education

This broad subject is introduced in the Introduction and in its 9 Assertions. It traces past educational cultures in order to formulate

the aims, scope and foundations of this unified CCC.

Pedagogical Features

In writing this Volume IV, I continue the effort to simplify and update Volumes I & II and make them more suitable for a wider circle of readers,

researchers, faculty and students. For that purpose I include new pedagogical features that help support the integration of this CCC

with the new world outlook presented here.

The 1958 Discovery

In 1958, by adopting the Einsteinian minority position as a student, I asserted that proponents of quantum statistical and probabilistic

thermodynamics smuggle into their thermodynamic theories the result that they wish to prove, without declaring the contraband3.4. Similar charges are

aimed today against proponents of string theories4.6 to 4.11.[Appendix IV],

The Time Paradox

To rise to the status of a scientific theory, a candidate must be supported by verifiable observations. Yet, in the actual world, there is a clash

between theoretical, time-symmetric fundamental physics, and time-asymmetries observed in nature.3.4

The ‘exact sciences’ can be reduced to physics, and fundamental physics, at high energies, to just three fundamental forces-fields: The electroweak

3.1, the strong 3.2 and the gravitational 3.3.Over the last 100 years or so many have tried to develop ‘final’ proofs that

would bridge these conflicting worlds of science. All in vain. Theorists select only prediction while ignoring the time-symmetric retrodiction, final

conditions, etc.Fig. 1.2 shows the expanding, cold ‘voids’ between shining superclusters of

galaxies [Space-1, Diagram]. Uniform maximum temperatures, isotropic and homogenous distribution of voids/galaxies (on large scales) are preserved

(Cf. Fig. 1.1). There is no net flow of energy from one adiabatic ‘envelope’4.15 to another. Such

adiabatic configurations wrap superclusters of galaxies.

In 1958 I discovered the origin of irreversibility and time-asymmetries3.4 in nature by examining just one such envelope -- but around a cluster, not

superclusters of galaxies [Fig. 1.2], which have been confirmed later –as explained in this book and in Volume I.


17

Being a student, and, later, an un-experienced professor, none wanted to listen to my central theme and non-conventional,

general relativistic world outlook.

Most refrained to do that because it was based on general relativity and cosmology, both far beyond their knowledge.

That situation has changed in 1969 during the International Conference on Classical and Relativistic Thermodynamics[Pittsburgh, Ref. 13] that I had organized with the participation of some

Nobel-Prize winners.

Worldwide acclaims started slowly after my Science and Nature papers in 1972 and the awarded Gold Medal from The New York Academy of

sciences.[Ref. 13]. For more information see Appendix IV.

Full worldwide acceptance has been delayed until the 80’s, with the publication of Volume I, and its subsequent editions.

Putting a Frame AroundDoes Not Make it a Unified Theory

[From Am. Sci., Sigma Xi]

Do most professors take closest to their heart the moneybox?

Priority in Parts A & B is assigned to relativistic gravity physics3.3 as applied to cosmology and to determinism over indeterminism. It is an unpopular thesis in which Einstein had been practically left alone.

To begin with, I visit his world outlook and use it to assess some new developments such as gravitational lens, new supernovae4.1 and string theories 4.6 – 4.11.

String theories are popular but are not science. They cannot

even pass Popper’s principle for being part of it. They cannot be verified by experiment and thus cannot even rise to the scientific status of being wrong [51, 53]. They justify Einstein’s claim: Quantum theory is not a complete theory.

Eventually realizing that Einstein has been right, armies of theoretical physicists work hard since his death to bridge quantum theories with general

relativity by inventing various kinds, types and brands of unverifiable string theories4.6 – 4.11. All in vain.

The essence of Space-1-expansion[Diagram; Figs. 1.1; 1.2],and of relativistic gravity cosmology, are not easy to grasp. I shall therefore assume the position of a tourist guide of a Virtual Deep-Space Tour [Chapter 7] aimed at discovering the ORIGIN and CAUSE of radiation-energy gradients around stars, galaxies, clusters and super-clusters of galaxies4.13; gradients4.13 that generate all irreversible processes in nature, including those that lead to life. The key mission during the Tour is to search for ‘adiabatic envelopes’4.15 that wrap filaments or clouds of clusters or super-clusters of galaxies. These clusters and superclusters are like islands of non-expanding, gravity-bounded aggregations, in expanding, unsaturable sink. It is to this sink that all ‘solar-wind-type’ of radiation-energy in the universe is irreversibly pouring in. Local quasars4.14 and black holes4.3 form additional, local sinks. Their ancestors, the massive gravitational aggregations4.1; 4.2; 4.5; 4.14, also had come into being by Space-1-Expansion. [Diagram p.3; Figs. 1.1; 1.2, p.3]. The universal sink is composed of a large number of interconnected ‘voids’ and adiabatic cells4.15

[Diagram, sites (a), (b),

(c,] each imaginary adiabatic envelope ‘encages’ a super-cluster or superclusters of galaxies by no-net-flow of energy across its isotropic and homogeneous, large-scale, geometrical boundaries. [Fig. 1.2, p.4, p.3]

During the tour I must cross frozen disciplines and bring home the evidence about the MASTER ARROW OF TIME [Volume I].

Back to earth I re-assess how gravity and Space-1-Expansion-Inducedgradients (Diagram, p.3) cause not only all irreversible processes and time-asymmetries, but how they control ‘Gravity Selection’ and orientation that, in turn, control plant and animal behavior, languages and key concepts in the ‘exact sciences’ and the ‘humanities’ 1.1

Assertion 001

A ‘precise definition’ is often slippery, distorted or misleading. Contrary to intent, it may cause a large error. (Chapter 8, p.106). Nonetheless, we usually assume that we know exactly what we are defining, or talking about, until

someone starts wondering, if at all: What is its complete meaning?Our scientific-educational practice often begins a lesson, or a theory, by

defining a symbol, axiom, or an object – the act that a priori erects a ‘fence’ around each: Anything outside that fence is, a priori, lost.

There is no fence outside the cosmos. [S. Hawking and his club (Appendix III, p.160), have claimed that they had invented ‘The Theory of Everything’. Indeed, it accepts no fence for there is no one below their smallest ‘thing’ (10-35 meter) or outside the biggest one: the Cosmos. Nevertheless, they had to retract from that claim. Moreover, their ‘string theories’4.6-4.11 are not scientific [51, 53]. Their smallest scale is more than 15 orders of magnitude below any verification scale of any current --and expected -- experimental technique in science (10-19 meter).Hence, it is better to begin this course and worldoutlook with key verified facts about the cosmos, and we already possess them. [Cf. Figs. 1.1, 1.2,

p.4, and Table I, p.40], We can then work back and forth between these reliable facts and general relativistic cosmology, instead of with

microphysics and then proceeding up the scale to explain the overall cosmic facts, for, unlike the strong force3.2 in quantum physics,

gravitation3.3 penetrates all, is scale-free and constitutes the greatest macro builder in the universe. Moreover, according to the great Greek

philosopher Plato: Everything is connected with everything else.Therefore, any reliable definition must begin with 'the whole universe', or

fail. [Chapter 4, p.70].Mathematically-based theories that predict a new entity that is verified by

independent experimentation, or astronomical observations, is an essential part of verifiable science. Otherewise it is neither complete nor

in verified science. (Chapter 8, p.106]

"The Judeo-Christian Tradition” is in accord with Gal-Or’s conclusions states Weisskopf and quotes:

"Most astrophysicists, cosmologists and astronomers agree that the biblical account of cosmic evolution, in stressing `a beginning´ and the initial roles of `void,´ `light´ and a `structure-less´ state, may be uncannily close to the verified evidence with which modern science

ha already supplied us"V.F. Weisskopf, Scientific American

Gal-Or launchs a new spirit of inquiry by his excellent and thought provoking writings. I would recommend awarding a prize and would hope

that this would serve to focus attention on a most important subject. T. Gold, Cornell University

One noted scientist [B. Gal-Or], even affirms that the stress placed by Genesis, Chapter one, on ‘beginning’ and the initial roles of ‘void’, ‘light’

and a ‘structure-less’ state, “may be uncannily close to the verifiedevidence with which modern science has already supplied us.”

One of the best books on the totality of the sciences & the universe/ It was one of the favorite books of Sir Karl Popper. It looks at physics and

the universe as a totality of the mathematical philosophical understanding. It also combines the physical concept of time with human

psychological perception and brain understanding of languages.Robin (forumhub.com/expr/@202.54.92.222

Einstein's time-symmetric tensor was elevated by Gal-Or’s “New Astronomical School of Unified Thermodynamics” to the status of the

source of “Master Asymmetry” controlling not only irreversible thermodynamics, but all physical and biological phenomena!

Gal-Or calls “GRAVITISM” (his philosophy) that gravitation is the prime cause of structures, irreversibility, time, geo-chemical and biological

evolution -- that the expansion of the universe is the cause of the second law of thermodynamics -- that microscopic physics, and thermodynamics

in particular, cannot be understood without reference to cosmology.

He ties “irreversibility” to the “expansion of space itself”, i.e. as far as space is expanding, the contribution of all kinds of radiation in space is

weakened “irreversibly” due to the expansion phenomenon itself.

Such loss, or “degradation” of energy in the depth of inter-cluster expanding space, may then be considered as a universal sink for all the radiation flowing out of the material bodies in the expanding universe.

Advancement of Physics, APEIRON

I have in the meantime studied your book, with great interest, and made pages of notes on it. I feel as if I had been on numerous walks and talks with you on the great questions, and know that would be great to go on

with them!Who cannot be impressed by your love for the great men of all times

and all countries, by your phrase “working back and forth between theory and fact”, by your belief that philosophy is too important to be left to the philosophers, by your concern for where thought and language lie in the

scheme of things – and by so much more!

I continue to reflect, again and again, on your central thesis that expansion is the origin of all asymmetry in time. What an ingenious phrase is your,

“smuggle irreversibility in without declaring the contraband”!

I regard your book as seeking to accomplish two tasks – and being two books – at the very least.

One is the exposition of your central thesis, with clarity, and careful mustering of every argument pro and con that can lead to testable

consequences.

I don’t see how it is possible to do proper justice to a thesis of such importance by mixing it in with the other great task. That is to give students

an appreciation of the unity of philosophy and modern physics. You do both tasks far better than I could hope to. I give you my personal thanks for

putting the two books into a package that I personally have found most thought-provoking.

Gal-Or's remarkable book [Parts A & B] sees and seizes the world whole. He emphasizes that all scientists operate under some set of

philosophical prejudices, and that failure to acknowledge this is self-delusion. Furthermore, he argues that a failure to attend to the

philosophical base of physics leads to an empty scientism.

His work is challenging on many levels, constituting a review 'with derivations' of general relativity 'as applied to

cosmology', thermodynamics, the current state of theoretical particle physics, astrophysics, as well as a summary history of western philosophy, 'especially the philosophies of time and mind' and

critiques of western society, the intelligentsia and the relationship between academic science and government.

One 'and perhaps the central' theme explored, is that of the interplay between symmetry and asymmetry. His primary interest is not in the

recent progress in the unification of forces in gauge theory, although he finds support in it for his Einsteinian outlook, but is rather time, time's arrow, and the asymmetry between past and future. Around time are accumulated discussions, both mathematical and philosophical, of

thermodynamic reversibility, time reversibility, the nature of causality, and the use of advanced and retarded solutions to wave equations.

The second major theme is that of gravity and its overwhelming domination of the actual form of the universe, at all scales. The

combination of these themes is not accidental; they are point and counterpoint to his thesis that the time asymmetries are connectable to

and perhaps even determined by the master asymmetry given by the gravity of general relativity: the remorseless cosmological expansion. He argues that only the expansion can provide the unification of time

asymmetries.

The expansion provides, among other things, an for radiation, which, in turn, permits the establishment UNSATURABLE SINK of

gradients in temperature and density, which provide the basis for the physical process that leads to life.

He also criticizes the sloppy and improper use of the concepts of entropy 'and the related notions in information theory' and quantum

indeterminism, especially as covers for an inadequate understanding of temporal asymmetries. Taking an Einsteinian position on the

interpretation of quantum mechanics, he looks forward to revitalization of Einstein's quest for a deterministic interpretation of quantum events.

The value of this book lies in the challenging combination of ideas which Gal-Or presents, which goes far beyond what can be

sensibly described in a review. [This] work may be too large to digest as a text in these days of the decline of academic institutions "as Gal-Or describes them", but that will be the loss of both the faculty and the

students.

Introduction

Notes to Readers, Students, Mentors and Professors

I.1 The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions

At the beginning of my first professorship position (at the Johns Hopkins University), I was so absorbed in polishing and re-polishing my first lecture that I completely forgot to go to the classroom and teach it.

About 30 minutes past the time, while I was still working hard in re-polishing the lecture, a shy student opened the door of my office to politely inform me that 5 minutes ago all students had left the classroom. The whole university laughed.

Years ago, I tried to simplify Volume I and adapt it for easier reading by all readers and by students outside the domains of physics and philosophy. Being a prisoner of the style, quest and mission of Volumes I, it was almost impossible to simplify and abridge the 300 mathematical equations and 520-pages. That draft was therefore abandoned and forgotten.

In December 2007, a shy student informed me that he could not understand the physico-mathematical themes presented in Volume I, and therefore signed-out of the CCC where it was used.

My immediate reaction was to publish, on December 15, 2007, the unfinished draft as a Free, Online Volume III. Six months later this revised version has become this online book. However, it has not yet been polished and re-polished. Anyway, all mistakes are mine.

* * *

Until around the mid-Thirties of the previous century, Core Cultural-Curriculum Courses (in Europe!) were made as ‘scientific’ as possible, and science propped up its foundations by turning to philosophy. This attitude was in part motivated by the desire to


33

Assertion IN.1

Knowledge is One.Its division, a human weakness;

its aim, a universal beauty;an aesthetic frame of mind;a longing for the run-away

horizons of truth and symmetry that we always try to reach.

Modern physics is a picture of reality; not the house-in-itself.

It is a man-painted picture of Knowledge awaiting

to be discoverd.

Assertion IN.2

The origin of our aspirations to advance interconnected thinking

is not known. What we know is that it is not

rooted in “well-fenced” traditions and “accepted” disciplinary

sciences.

Our educational mission is to bridge fragmented courses in modern curriculum courses,

with an all-embracing outlook, and adapt it to face the ever-growing needs of narrowing

specialism.

appropriate the sciences with the great ‘prestige’ of philosophers, and for the philosopher the fast-growing ‘status’ of science.

Hence, European professors vied with one another in presenting science based on high philosophical grounds, and philosophy as a ‘science among sciences’, or even as the ‘sum of the other sciences’.

A ‘PhD’ was then a bona fide Philosophy Doctor, a person of advanced core knowledge and eloquence outside his specialism.

Western education has since withdrawn from the game.

Empty specialism has since gained the highest prestige, especially in the U.S.; no longer do professors need borrow it from philosophy, nor to teach Core Curriculum Courses [CCC].

Indeed, contemporary teachers and professors vie with one another in presenting fragmented, technical lectures devoid of interconnected content, for they can no longer hope to achieve popularity by injecting updated core knowledge into what has gradually become an ever narrower, disciplinary professionalism.

This turn of events has resulted in overvaluation of technical professionalism, empty academicism, absolutation of ever-narrower


34

disciplines, and the common inclination to reject bona fide core knowledge from the class. A pity. For these trends only push the young into cynicism, nihilism and feelings of emptiness in education and in society at large.

I.2 Interconnected Thinking, Teaching and Research

Although most academic teaching and research must be distributed amongst various departments of a university, there is an objective need to regenerate an old tradition that cannot be associated with any specialism, because the ideas with which it deals are common to all studies, or not involved in any. Accordingly, the selection of interconnected kernels of updated knowledge to be included in this book is based on an interconnected approach to what I consider a much needed, simplified CCC book for all.

The Current Crisis in Educationis not subsiding. More than ever before it demands answers, re-assessments, a neo-philosophy and acts: How to teach mutual interactions instead of linear causality; structured complexity instead of summation of events; structured historical buildup of facts, instead of summation of isolated events.

Modern skepticism is usually the negation of a core, interconnected, educational methodology. Not so with Einstein's skepticism.

Assertion IN.3

The greatest challenge in aquiring updated, verified knowledge and the ability to be intellectually independent, is self-removal of externally-imposed disciplinary borders while working hard,

often alone, as an AUTODIDACT.


35

Assertion IN.4

Without a Guiding-Structuring Theme, or at least a Unified World Outlook for gaining an all-embracing, interconnected culture-

knowledge that crosses frozen disciplines, any CCC is nothing but a pity encyclopedia

displayed by a specialist nominated by “Organizers” as the“CCC-Coordinator”, who remains helpless in teaching the alluring beauty of mathematics, physics, the life sciences,

and comparative religions but fails to perceive their profound educational implications to all, as a whole.

To start with, Einstein advocated the total removal of borders between traditional disciplines.

The current academic crisis, especially in the U.S., may be moderated by using the Einsteinian methodology, at least as properly adapted CCC series provided in high-schools and, on structured higher levels, in undergraduate and graduate schools.

Such a methodology may lead to new, interconnected fertilization between the most promising kernels of fundamental knowledge, and, thus, to the potential to rejuvenate educational methodology by resorting to an old-new world-outlook and practice.

Assertion IN.5

Structuring an all-embracing CCC-Outlook is a matter entailing far more ambiguity than the technicalities of the application of

any disciplinary course and its “Academic Credit Regulations”.

Assertion IN.6

Students are often discouraged by their professors and mentors from asking fundamental, interdisciplinary questions in class,

as a result of which inconsistent, or outright incorrect premises, are given a better chance of perpetuating themselves.

Literary intellectuals at one pole – at the other scientists,

and as the most representative,the physical scientists.

Between the two a gulf ofmutual incomprehension –

sometimes (particularly among the young) hostility and dislike,

but most of all lack of understanding.

C. P. Snow, The Two CultureCambridge University Press [33]

Assertion IN.7

Students flood colleges and universities with the hope

of finding there the grand outlook of a spacecraft.

Entering our temples of knowledge they settle for that of an eagle, but what they often find

is that of a specialist gopher.

I.3 Our Temples of Knowledge

Literary intellectuals, the ‘humanists’, people of the arts and most educators are currently ignorant of modern advances in the ‘exact sciences’, of their mathematical formulations, experimental, observational and verification methods. They are likely to resort to an a priori, or superficial answers to complex problems whose detailed implications are beyond them.

Similarly, faculty, ‘experts’ and professionals in the “exact sciences”, via their past, ever-narrowing, disciplinary education, are currently ignorant of the wide-span knowledge, literature, arts and history that are needed to share their thinking and aspirations with other thinking persons.

The resulting gap can hardly be bridged despite the fact that our globe is currently an interconnected village, internationally linked by what might be expected to bridge old gaps between cultures, languages, religions and educational disciplines.

Nevertheless, the facts are that deep divisions keep deepening and deserts of narrow specialism keep spreading more than ever before. A sad fact. A dark future.

I.4 From General Relativistic Cosmology to Re-Assess

The Foundations of Science, or Vice Versa?


37

Assertion IN.9

Thanks to the subdivision of knowledge into fragmented

‘disciplines’ and ‘territories’, we often fail to perceive the

interconnectedness between ‘self-centered’, or conflicting outlooks,

to judge their collective importance and to estimate their

inherent structure, inner logic and ordering.

In trying to overcome this lacuna, I begin this book with cosmology and its distorted image among

scientists and laypersons.[Assertion 001,

p.20]

Assertion IN.8

Large cosmological systems dominate smaller ones, not vice

versa. [ASSERTION 001, P.20]

Vindicated by empirical data that span a broad range of modern

astronomy, astrophysics, physics, biophysics, socio-biology, history and archeology, this assertion is employed here to arrive at some new concepts in a fresh world

outlook on science, philosophy and beyond.

In selecting knowledge kernels to be included here, I am simultaneously faced with subjectivistic and objectivistic discourses; subjectivistic, because all thought is, to some extent, ordered by personal bias; objectivistic, because all rational empirical knowledge singles out regularity and order ranging from the objectivistic origins of anything in the world, to the subjectivistic perception of the individual ‘Here-Now’.

Nevertheless, the following issues may also need to be encountered:

Should this course be directed from ‘innate’, or ‘a priori ideas’ of subjective human knowledge, to ‘external’ objective concepts? Or vice versa?

Should a bona fide CCC begin by updated, key, verified facts and discoveries and their origins and vindications by modern empirical knowledge? or by unverifiable string theories4.6-2.11 that attempt to unify all fundamental forces-interactions in physics? 3.1-3.3

Einstein’s failed attempts to unify [deterministic] gravity physics3.3 with [non-deterministic] quantum physics3.2, have played a major role in structuring this book. Both drive the (unpopular) philosophy to rejuvenate and bring closer together interconnected educational methodologies in the ‘humanities’ and the ‘exact sciences’.


38

Conclusion: The guiding philosophy and practice of bona fide CCC-Series are too important to be left to the sole care of disciplinary experts.

I.5 Survival of a Civilization and Education

Culture and a civilization are precarious. Their survival depends on innovation and inner morality a splendid minority maintains with incalculable effects these have had upon all well being of academia, government and socio-economic of each country at all times. It is therefore pertinent to investigate how, where and when such rare developments occur or are subdued.

The origin of this problem is intimately linked to the non-interconnected moral roles played by some scientists, politicians, large companies lobbyists and law manipulators in our civilization today.

A contemporary lobbyist can only deal with problems by applying those disciplinary methods and non-interconnected moral codes that are familiar to him or her through the non-philosophical (and sometimes anti-intellectual) methods of current education.

The resulting vicious cycle opens unbridgeable gaps between the ‘professionals’, and, gradually, isolates each. It is this separatism that causes declining standards, empty government and the current crisis in education.

Most students today participate in fragmented courses of disciplinary professionalism that leave them with a feeling of inner cultural emptiness in academia. In fact, what they find in the temples of knowledge is bureaucracy, inertia, nihilism, careerism, populism and irresponsibility of the faculty to provide them with what would make them bona fide cultured persons.

Wondering about their lost dream in the temples of knowledge, some promising students ask:

Has the Time for Cultured Mentors in Academia Passed?


39

An ambitious student, who commences his/her studies in the firm belief that much of the fundamental-core knowledge of our civilization is comprehended by at least most faculty, is extremelyperplexed to discover, sooner or later, that the professors are uncertain about the fundamental, interconnected meanings of what they teach in class.

Other, who seek explanations about the world at large in which they live or about the worlds at small that compose the world at large, realize that it entails sub-terrainian links between an undeclared philosophy of fragmented education as adhered to nowadays by most.

That mundane philosophy of education is bound to confront intellectually starving students. Sensing that, the intellectually-starving students often give up, or blame themselves unnecessarily for their inability to grasp what their mentors dismiss as trivial.

A splendid minority of bright students dare to continue, by themselves, the interminable search, which calls for questioning, re-examination, screening, and at times radical rejection of ‘accepted’, or ‘established doctrines’ that fail to justify themselves through their own logic, consistency, universality and testability.

Int.1 Footnotes presented in this volume are often interconnected. They have been included to detail or illuminate some specific subjects, disputes and issues that are related the Central Theme. But no footnote can be considered as “Introduction to”, “Review of”, or “History of” the “Disciplinary Domain” it deals with, or refers to.

Without resorting to any mathematical equation, a few footnotes dealing with specific subjects stand about ‘midway’ between mathematically-formulated concepts provided in Volume I, and the abridged-simplified ones adopted here. Reference to them is marked as: […] 1.1, 1.2, …, 2.1, 2.2, …, or as […]AII.1; AII.2, …, namely, located in Chapters 1, 2, … etc., or in Appendix II, etc., respectively.

Int.2References are minimized for reasons elaborated below. The few provided at book-end are

marked as […][1, 2, …] or Ref. 11, etc.. Selection of what to read and what to study, and in what order, depends on the reader’s interests, background and on a qualified CCC-coordinator, if there is one.

Adding extensive bibliography may be confusing or misleading; there is always a temptation to be “in” regarding what has recently attracted popular attention. There are also the ‘name droppers’, the ones who wish to impress others, or put them down, if they have not heard about their last peer-circle annual meeting, or what the ‘name dropper’ had picked up in a party, committee, a club, or the media.

No science is immune to the infection of politicsand the corruption of power.

How Did It All Start?

The Bible AVI.11, p.190 answers this question in two sentences:

Most astrophysicists, cosmologists and astronomers agree today that the biblical account of the beginning of cosmic evolution, in stressing "a beginning" and the initial roles of "void" and a structure-less

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was

state, may be uncannily close to the verified evidence with which modern science has already supplied us with.

In the beginning, according to modern astronomy and empirical relativistic cosmology, the highly curved space-time of the early universe is, in many senses, analogous to a "white hole" in which radiation-dominated (structure-less) pre-atomic medium [Table I], had expanded away from extremely high density and temperature, to end up in the present, matter-dominated era in which the initial structure-less medium has gradually developed into the present hierarchy of gravitationally-bounded galaxies4.13, stars, planets, moons, biosphere and other structures, including the late arrival of mortals. (Appendix V)

1.1 Unified World History: The First Six ‘Days’

Our sun-earth-based time is neither universal nor relevant during the first 9 billion (earth-sun-based) years of the world history; namely, prior to the formation of the solar system5.1. Our traditional time is therefore a misleading concept that must be replaced at least in teaching a CCC[Assertion 001, p.20].


42

FIG. 01: The First ‘Six Days’ of our world are marked by seconds [derived from earth-sun-based years (left), temperature [in arbitrary-based degrees Kelvin] (right), or our Astrophysical Stages-Days [Table I, Lecture 1].

The old time that is in our common use; the second, minute, hour, day, month and (earth-sun-based) year, is not sacrosanct.

An hour composed of 60 minutes, and a minute composed of 60 seconds were invented by the first recognizable civilization; -- UR [Appendix VI, p. 181]. This archeological site is where the first full-fledged written language and Abrahamic Monotheism had originated more than 5000 (earth-sun) years ago.

General Relativistic Genesis, or a much simpler version [Table I below] and Genesis via the Bible AVI.11, p.190, may be taught from early to academic education, side-by-side, under the same roof, in a sort of duality, without diffusing any into the other. [Cf. Chapter 9, Appendix VI and Footnote AVI.11]

By now we have well-verified evidence that goes back in time to about 99.998% of the history of the universe. (Table I below and Table II in Appendix V, p.190)

There had been no physical time prior to ‘Day-1’. All evidence indicates that the laws of physics, irrespective of any wish of, or claim by any latecomer -- the mortal -- have remained invariant at any place, scale and time since ‘Day-1’.

String Orchestra Members, who play vibrating music in the halls of physics with String Theories,

are nothing but Impostors of Verifiable Science [Appendix III]. Their lacuna, as explained in footnotes 4.6 to 4.11, is lack of any current and expectedverification of their popular claims for other universes that may be hidden at a scale of 10-35mduring an eye-catcher pre-creation time, or pre-creation ‘hot-crunch-contraction’ of ‘multiple universes’ into a black hole4.3.

Well-verified general relativity3.3 presents us with nothing ‘outside’ our finite, but unbounded3.3, observable universe, unless one subscribes to the aforementioned mystic cults of string theories4.6 –

4.11. Accordingly, the condensed history of our world during its first six ‘Days’ is described in Fig. 01 above, and in the text next.

The totality of our observable universe was extremely dense and hot at the beginning of the ‘Day-1’. Until ‘the present age of the universe’, ithas consistently being transformed from an initialstructure-less state to the current structured one. The well-verified theory behind this world history is general relativity, the best theory and outlook of science today, a theory that clearly describes the

44

scale-free, universal gravitational field3.3, or, in short, gravity.

Direct verification of the first six ‘Days’ of the world history is, nevertheless, banned by the verified fact that during the earliest epoch of the world it had been totally opaque, as a whole, while any curved space-time3.3 point in it has been in a state of uniform thermal equilibrium (in space). Yet, since its extremely hot-dense beginning, the universe has been expanding and cooling4.4. As a result, its contents has been undergoing radical changes -- from chaos to order, from structure-lessstate to the current, GRAVITY-INDUCED,structured galaxies, stars, planets, moons, tides, biosphere, DNA, bio-organisms, written languages, books and the reader.

I next begin from the beginning. No subatomic or macro structures existed during ‘Day-1’; not even protons, and neutrons3.2. Everything was at complete spatial thermal equilibrium. The cosmos as a whole was cooling down with time (in terms of the spatial expansion rate of the universe as a whole, or in terms of degrees K, or in terms the yet irrelevant seconds, sun-earth years, or energy density. [Diagram,

opening pages] Einstein’s General Relativity3.3, combined with what we know today about the frozen-until-now neutron-proton ratio [see ‘Day’ 5], the hydrogen bomb, thermonuclear fusion processes 4.2 and the remnant, black-body radiation4.12, provide us with insight into the undergoing pre-atomic processes during the first six ‘Days’; namely, prior to the emergence of nuclei, atoms and proto-agglomerations of gas-into-stars-into-galaxies, until, eventually, matter had separated from radiation during the ‘7th day’

MOST IMPORTANT: During the extremely hot-dense beginning stage of the expanding-cooling4.4

universe [the so-called ‘Big-Bang], all fundamental forces-fields of nature3.1-3.3 are unified in what we


45

recognize today as the gravitational force-field-interaction3.3. Out of the extremely high-energy density of this structure-less field-force-interaction3.3;4.3, the electroweak3.1 and the strong3.2

force-field-interactions would split in the next key stage of the world history, when the universe had cooled below about 1028K, thereby breaking the original, unified, single force-field-interaction of nature. [Above a certain value, the gravitational-energy density at the hot-dense beginning is somewhat comparable to that density inside a black hole4.3 (after it had destroyed all sub-atomic structures and converted them into the structure-less gravitational energy. When that extremely small and hot-dense early universe had expanded/cooled-down, the first ever structures started to be formed out of the original, unified field: Quarks3.2, leptons3.2 and their antiparticles. Their creation marks, the emergence of the first ever ‘structures’ to be ruled by the three [later four] fundamental forces of nature: The gravitational3.3, electroweak3.2 and the strong3.2.]

No subatomic or any macro structures had existed during that early epoch; not even quarks, protons, or neutrons3.2. Everything was at complete spatial thermal equilibrium. General Relativity3.3, combined with what we know today about the frozen-until-now neutron-proton ratio [‘Day-5’], the hydrogen bomb, thermonuclear fusion processes4.2

and the remnant, black-body radiation4.12, provide us with insight into the next key stages, yet, prior to the emergence of nuclei, atoms and proto-agglomerations of ‘matter’-into-stars-into-galaxies. [see below] During the next key stage the newly emergingQuarks had combined with positively charged strong field-interactions3.2 and, ‘later’ fused4.1 to form, for the first time in world history, the nucleiof the light chemical elements that we know today: Hydrogen, helium, and lithium. As the temperature dropped below about 1015K, (but was still above 1011K), the strong and electroweakfields parted from each other, thereby resulting in the four fundamental fields-forces-interactions of nature as we know them today at relatively low energies. Spaces 1, 2 and 3 are still fused-unified together. (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1)


46

At this earliest epoch the universe is radiation-dominated and opaque.

The only clock -- the sole measurable time coordinate in general relativistic3.3 cosmology, or the coordinates marked in Fig. 01 above by the unfolding cosmic irreversible processes, is the universe itself; its increase in ‘size’, or decrease in its spatially uniform temperature, or (the spatially-uniform) density of energy, or temperature. Neither other clocks, nor any other measurable time has existed during the first six ‘days’ of the expanding, structure-less, opaque universe. This clock releases anyone from the prison of the common anthropomorphic seconds and years.

‘Elementary particles’ pairs are ‘generated’ out of the intense unified field, while the cosmic temperatures lowered further but is still higher than 1011K. Therefore, this ‘2nd Day’ in the world history is termed ‘PARTICLE CREATION DAY’. [FIG. 01]

The cosmic temperature now drops to about 100,000,000,000 degrees Kelvin. The cosmos now contain photons, neutrinos, anti-neutrinos, muons3.2, anti-muons, electrons and positrons3.2.

This duration is termed ‘DEUTERIUM FORMATION DAY’.

Assertion 1.1: THE UNIFIED ORIGIN OF ALL STRUCTURES

During the earliest epoch of the expanding-cooling universe it may be compared to a black-hole4.3 -- after it had destroyed all sub-atomic

structures and converted them into structure-less gravitational energy.4.3 Yet it is an expanding ‘white hole’.4.3

Out of its field-force-interaction3.3; 4.3, the electroweak3.2 and the strong3.2 force-field-interactions parted, thereby breaking the

original, unified, single force-field-interaction of nature. At these early high energy densities all fields-forces-interactions3.1-3.3 are unified in a single field-force-interactionen that we recognize

today as gravitation3.3. It is the origin of all structures to be formed since the first split. It is not only the original, unified, single source of all quantum entities-structures (‘elementary particles’), but the

later generator of all macro structures in the universe, including life.

Most important: The split is due to the EXPANSION.

When that early universe expanded/cooled-down, new structures formed/parted out of the unified field-force-interaction: Quarks3.2,

leptons3.2 and their antiparticles. Their split marks the first emergence of ‘structures’ that are to be ruled by three [later four]

fundamental forces of nature: The gravitational3.3, electroweak3.2 and the strong3.2. [Table I]


48

The ‘7th Day’ begins with the genesis of expanding Space-1, as evidenced by comparing Fig. 1.1 with Fig. 1.2 below. It is also the Genesis of the dark-cold night sky, which, with gravity, controls plants, animals and everyday life as described in the rest of this book and in Volume I. This ‘Day’ is also entirely different from the first six ones. It lasted from the end of ‘Day-6’ to the emergence of the first full-fledged written language in UR. (Table II, Appendix V, p.171, and Appendix VI, p.

181] Any other time scale may be used if based on verifiable records.

Fig. 1.1: Space-1 Genesis. Expansion of the previously opaque universe formed expanding, colder ‘voids’ [Blue colors in interconnected SPACE-1]and hotter matter emitters of radiation as they were formed below about 3000K (starting at around 300,000 years post Genesis). Photons, neutrinos and anti-neutrinos3.2 then escaped from the newly-formed aggregations of [plasma] nuclei and were irreversibly absorbed in the newly-formed, unsaturable, cold sink: SPACE-1 [Fig.1.2 below]. About 2 billion years post genesis, these gravity-induced, proto-massive-entities were already condensed and heated enough for nuclear fusion4.2 to start. This NASA picture shows that, on a large scale, the universe was isotropic and homogeneous in terms of distribution of cold ‘voids’, hot matter-structures-emitters and their maximum temperatures4.1. There had been no net energy flow across adiabatic envelopes 4.15 in Space-1. [Cf. Fig. 1.2]Above 1028K, at black-hole’s4.3 gravitational-energy density, all fields-forces-interactions in nature3.1-3.3 are united within what we know today as gravitation3.3 -- the sole origin of all structures. [Table I, p.45]


49

Fig. 1.2: The largest portrait of the universe. [NASA] The size of the expanding, cold ‘voids’ between shining filaments or clouds of superclusters of galaxies has increased [Cf. Fig, 1.2]. They are interconnected in multi-dimensional Space-1. Uniform maximum temperatures, isotropic and homogenous distribution of voids vis-à-vis galaxies (on large scales) are preserved (Cf. Fig. 1.1).

There is no net flow of energy from one adiabatic ‘envelope’4.15 to another. They wrap superclusters at large scales. Studying the dynamics and thermodynamics of one such ‘envelope’ is similar to the difficult study of the whole universe.

As a student, in 1958, I discovered the origin of irreversibility & time-asymmetries3.4 by examining just one such envelope, but around clusters. (Chapter 7, p.102). Later verifications of superclusters of galaxies have not changed the results.

RECAP-I: As the entire universe expanded down to about 3,000-4,000 degrees K, atomic nuclei had been formed and radiation was then decoupled from matter, allowing slight variations in density to grow by the force of gravity into the first aggregations of matter, which, consequently, have become denser and hotter than the surrounding ‘gas’. As gravity keeps increasing their inner core temperatures, these early entities become emitters of larger and larger quantities of electromagnetic waves3.1 [radiation energy].

On its way ‘down’ to lower temperatures of the newly formed Space-1 that is composed of cold ‘voids’ and adiabatic surfaces4.15 (a), (b) and (c) [Diagram, opening pages]. The net, uni-directional, flow of radiation energy is partially absorbed and re-emitted from any gravitational entity it encounters on its way to the depth of cold, ever-expanding [Chapter 2]

Space-1 [Fig. 1.2].


50

The temperatures [energy-density] in adiabatic envelopes4.15 (a), (b) and(c) [Diagram] keep decreasing by the expansion-cooling of Space-1.

One result is the observed-felt cold-dark night sky that we see today when we look ‘up’ during a clear night, or feel its coldness when walking out at night.

The other result is the cosmic microwave black-body radiationdiscovered in 19644.12.

The filaments or clouds formed by gravity-induced super-clusters of galaxies, contain billions of galaxies, each containing billions of sun-like stars. The adiabatic envelopes4.15 are interconnected in Space-1. [‘ly’ in Fig. 1.2 means the distance Light Year5.6]

The Black Body Radiation4.12 and the well-verified abundance of hydrogen and helium since the beginning of this ‘Day’ is a remarkable confirmation of the sequence of events described in Table I, p.45, especially the 1:5 frozen-in-ratio of neutrons-to-protons that had emerged from ‘Day 5’. These are some of the time-invariant relics of the First Six ‘Days’ of the world history.

No net sun’s energy remains in earth. This is the result of complicated thermal cycles in our atmosphere. The outgoing radiation is partially reflected back to space from the upper layer of the atmosphere, while most it, via longer wave-lengths, radiates out to Spaces 3, 2 and 1 after complex processes in the earth’s atmosphere. [Cf, Solar Wind5.3] Thus, all the incoming sun’s energy (plus a small amount of heat from the earth’s interior], is proceeding further into the depths of Spaces 3 , 2 and 1.

All such energies in all stars and galaxies, are, eventually, dissipatedirreversibly in the depth of Space-1 – the limitless, unsaturatable sink of anything in the universe. [Fig. 1.2]. At least two types of radiation energy must be noticed in Spaces-1-3

TYPE-I Energy Density This is the spatially uniform remnant, cosmic background radiation4.12 that keeps cooling as Space-1 keeps expanding. It contributes to the total radiation energy density at adiabatic envelopes (a), (b) and (c) (Diagram) that wrap each cluster, or supercluster of galaxies in an adiabatic envelope4.15. Yet, this radiation does not generate any energy-density gradient that can drive energy from Spaces-2 and 3 to Space-1, or inside Space-1. [Fig. 1.2] This radiation has been left over from the 7th ‘Day’ when the cosmic ‘soup’


51

cooled down to around 4000-3000 degrees Kelvin. Then the positively charged atomic nuclei have captured the free electrons. Yet, as proto-stars had started to grow in mass by the attractive force of gravity, their interiors were heated up and electrons and protons separated again inside the shining sources4.2; 5.1; 5.3; 5.4; 4.1.

TYPE-II Energy Density This is a ‘SOLAR WIND’5.3 type of radiation that pours into Spaces 3 and 2 from all active, gravity-induced emitters. Its properties include SPACE GRADIENTS that generated by energy-emitting stellar and galactic sources, supernovea4.1, x-ray-glowing gas on its way to a [local] black hole4.3, etc. Eventually this energy is dissipated irreversibly in the depth of thelimitless, unsaturable, expanding-cooling sink: SPACE-14.4. [Fig. 1.2]. In addition, local black holes act as limitless sinkers. The dynamics and thermodynamics of the gradients of these Solar Winds Types of Radiation illustrate the origin of irreversibility in nature, the Master Time Asymmetry3.4; 4.11 and of all irreversible processes in the vast universe.

RECAP II: Matter (gas, plasma), during the first part of the 7th’Day, aggregated by the force of gravity into the first proto-entities, then ‘early stars’ and possibly what is called quasars4.14, has gradually been evolved by the force of gravity into shining [radiating] proto-galaxies, galaxies, clusters and superclusters of galaxies4.13

1.2 Entropy, ‘Noise’, ‘Disorder’ and ‘Information’: Thermodynamics-Information Theories) These concepts are fully treated in Volume I. This footnote is not an Introduction to the subjects. Entropy, ‘Noise’, ‘Disorder’ and ‘Information’ are neither energy nor matter. In fact, they are meaningless in dealing with the observable universe prior to the emergence of life and the thinking mortals. They cannot be seamlessly linked to symmetric physics3.4; 4.11, general relativity3.3 and general relativistic cosmology. Their key fallacy emerges from basing them on our anthropomorphic concepts such as ‘disorder’ -- a ghost outside fundamental science.

It is also impossible to define them unequivocally in relativistic transformations. False dictumes that students in the ‘exact sciences’ [including engineering] are trained to think are what the 2nd

law of thermodynamics means, e.g.: ‘Entropy of the universe only increases’, ‘disorder in the universe only increases’, falacies proved in Volume I. I have, therefore, been forced to replace what is to be replaced in Volume I: The new, general-relativistic-based ‘Entropy-Free Thermodynamics’. It uses instead the well-verified, universal dissipated energy in unsaturable Space-1, a discovery that seamlessly unifies it with the rest of physics. That revolutionary theory is required in fundamental science in light of the failures of statistical and quantum thermodynamics to do the same. The new theory has been acclaimed worldwide (p. 2 and 29) and is referred to as Unified Thermodynamics (p.82), or as Astrophysical Thermodynamics.

In contradiction with the old classical, statistical and quantum thermodynamics [Volume I], the unified thermodynamics [entropy-free, gravity-induced 2nd law of thermodynamics], increases structure and ‘order’ in the universe, and NOT increase ‘disorder’ as all students, in any university around the world, in any generation during more than a hundred years, is trained-forced to repeat like a parrot. Those who dare to ask fundamental questions in class are often treated as described in the Introduction and Appendix IV, p.163.

The New ‘2nd Law’ can now be presented in class as deduced from general relativity3.3 and the well-verified dynamics and thermodynamics of ‘Space-1-Expansion’ (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102, and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2). But to fully understand, teach and study the new Unified Thermodynamics one must use Volume I. In teaching and in practice in the domains of engineering, socio-biology, gravitational biology, cell biology, physiology, information systems and economics, the unified thermodynamics, or entropy-free thermodynamics, or the new 2nd law, do not require any modification of, say, entropy maps as widely used in engineering, etc.

1.3 The New World Outlook vs. Religion is unfolded in Volume I. Many theists endorse this

outlook for it co-exists ‘under the same roof’ [Chapter 1] with the “Creator” and with other key religious concepts as elaborated on in Chapter 10.

1.4 On the Possibility of Other Advanced Civilizations No structured -- i.e., intelligent, or

information loaded – signal (an electromagnetic radiation spectrum-signatures that can reveal an advanced civilization somewhere in ‘our’ 100,000 light-years max-diameter galaxy5.4, or outside it), has yet been detected by radio telescopes, or by any other detector that searches the sky for such a ‘proof’.

Of Being Wrong: All fiction movies, popular stories, wishful thinking and false theories and any unverified ‘evidence’, are not even rising to the status of being wrong.) VERIFIED FACTS: The nearest star [Proxima Centauri] is about 40,000,000,000,000 km away from earth. (1 light year is 9.46x1012 km5.6). It would certainly take much longer time if structured signals had originated in other members of ‘our’ local group of galaxies.5.5

Even if a structured signal had originated in the ‘nearby’ galaxy, M-31, (Andromeda), which is 20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 km away, it would take – by any fastest possible signal --2,000,000 (sun-earth-based) years to reach us; slightly longer than the expected life span of any reader, unless the structured signal had originated there 2,000,000 (sun-earth-based) years AGO. Nonetheless, these conclusions are not to be considered pessimistic. They only illustrate how big and vast is our observable universe, even in the ‘small scale’ of our local group of galaxies5.5. “Advanced Potential Beings” cannot reach us ‘in person’, nor by craft, prior to their electromagnetic waves3.1, for nothing can travel faster than light, except in some fiction movies and dreams.Nevertheless, these verified facts do not mean that such ‘wave-spectrum-structure-proofs’ had originated in the past from a higher civilization. In such a case the (structured) signals are still underway.

Any potential response to such a structured signal, if being radiated out from earth one day, would take the same long time to travel to such a potential civilization. Undestinated spacecraft that proceeds with a speed much slower than that of an electromagnetic wave (as had been done years ago under the leadership of Carl Sagan), would certainly take much longer time, one way.

How All Life Would End?

The end of all life and the end of the world have endlessly haunted humans since the beginning of humanity. But these skeptic issues have finally been resolved by working back and force between theory and facts. Recent measurements of the redshift/magintude of (Type-Ia) supernovae4.1 [Volume I] prove that the expansion of Space-1 has been accelerating since the universe was about half its present age: 13.72 (sun-earth) years.

Unlike the popular belief, there would be ‘no end’ to the world -- to the physical universe as a whole. Only all life would end in a cold end. We are not only living in an ever-expanding universe, but under the control and side effects of accelerated-expansion.

But as for certain truth,No man has known it.

Nor will he know it;Neither of the gods.

Nor yet of all the things of which I speak.And even if by chance he were to utter the final truth,

He would himself not know it; For all is but a woven web of guesses.

Xenophanes

We are only just embarking on a universal quest for knowledgeand are still like children playing with pebbles on the seashore,

while the great ocean of truth rolls,unexplored, beyond our reach.

Isaac Newton


56

The universe would not end with a contracting ‘hot crunch’, as many have speculated.

Within such speculations, the currently expanding (and cooling) SPACE-1 (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102, and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2) would stop expanding in the future due to the overall, universal, gravitational attraction3.3 of the entire the mass-energy of its contents.

At this reversal point in the expansion the entire universe (expansion of Space-1), according to these speculators, it would start contracting, eventually tracing its evolution back to the initial hot-dense conditions described in Table I, p.45, Chapter 1. I.e., hot-dense, total destruction of all atomic and macro structures that have been produced since Genesis. [Chapter 1].

This well-verified, cold-end [accelerated expansion of Space-1] constitutes a great blow to armies of theorists that have been writing and lecturing for about 7 decades about the hot end of the world and about the “missing matter” they need to get their human wishful end; – namely, what their various cosmological models NEED to stop the expansion of Space-1 (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102, and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2) .

Readers and students may skip any book, publication or a TV documentary that resurrects that speculative “missing matter”, “dark matter” (unobservable matter) and the cosmological constant4.16; 2.5.

It might be a reasonable illustration of many contemporary scientists, including some reputed ones: They have claimed, without evidence, not only that the universe would reverse its 13.7 billion earth-sun years of on-going, observed, verified expansion, but that it must obey their wish to behave that way by containing more matter than has been detected by all astronomers -- their “missing matter” theories and lecturing to the public.

(This false claim stands apart from an additional issue: Why is the universe accelerating its rate of space-1 expansion despite the universal force of gravity? Speculations abound about a repelling type of an undetectable matter-field-interaction that fills the entire universe, but this issue remains outside the scope of this volume.)

The false ‘vision’ about final contraction and hot end requires that the Radiation Energy Density at adiabatic envelopes4.15 (a), (b) and (c) in


57

the deep inter-cluster SPACE-1 (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102, and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2)

would gradually increase up to the core-temperature/Radiation-Energy-Density of the hottest stellar sources4.1; 4.2. Eventually the universe would end up in a hot dense state, as in its beginning. Some such prophets also envision that the contents of this universe would show up as a ‘white hole’ in another universe, or other universes.

The updated, well-verified scenario is, however, the opposite.Space-1 (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102, and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2) would forever expand and cool. Billions of sun-earth years from now, it would reach a very cold state that is not the end of its physical structure, as claimed by prophets of the ‘hot crunch”, who remind me of the biblical account of Elijah vis-à-vis the other 1000 prophets.

‘Our’ sun and all active stars and galaxies would gradually consume all their “fuel” by fusion4.2, and, like campfires on a cold mountain, would become as cold as the surrounding, inter-cluster, dark-cold background: Space-1. The gradients that lead ‘solar-wind’-type of energy from the shining sources to adiabatic envelopes4.15 (a), (b) and (c) would gradually vanish, causing space-1, as a whole, to approach zero absolute temperature (270 degrees C below zero C) by its accelerated expansion.

Spaces 2 and 3, and with them all cosmic structures, would follow the cold path of Space-1, down to zero K.2.1 – 2.3

Nevertheless, the gravitational force of the freezing planets, stars, galaxies, gases and dust, would, forever, function; causing some shining sources to flare up for a longer time than the other. But, eventually, they would all ‘die’, holding hands with each other via the gravitational force that penetrates all and is at one with all structures3.3, forever.

The only time, the only physical clock left in our future frozen cosmos, would, as in its beginning, be the increasing size of SPACE-1. (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102, and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2). The whole cosmos, including our remains, would exist forever; would just grow as cold as possible by the escaping radiation into the everlasting, expanding Space-1; the universal sink of all left-over energies.(Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102, and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2).

Dark Matter and Black Holes:

Phantom (unverified) cosmological theories about “dark matter”2.3

imply that, eventually, as Space-1 expands uniformly4.4, clusters and super-clusters of galaxies, stars, planets, atoms and ‘ordinary’ nuclei, will be destroyed by the dark matter.The generation of local sinks, as additional sinks, such as black holes, would also stop. Speculations about ‘evaporation’ of black holes [Volume 1], if verified, would only delay this merciless end.

2.1 Phantom (unverified) Cosmological Theories About “Dark Matter”2.3 imply that,

eventually, as Space-1 expands uniformly4.4, clusters and super-clusters of galaxies, stars, planets, atoms and ‘ordinary ‘ nuclei, will be destroyed by the dark matter.

2.2 Shapes of the universe. A closed universe (positive space-time curvature), a hyperbolic one

(negative curvature) or a flat one (zero curvature) are possible in general relativistic cosmology, depending on the total energy-matter density of the universe in the past, ‘present’ and future. (Volume I). Space-time curvature of the entire universe is negative if its avearge total density is less than the so-called critical density; positive if greater, and zero at the critical density, in which case space-time is said to be flat. Yet, small departures from the critical density may grow with time, i.e., the universe in the past, today and in the future may be different in density, overall shape, etc. See also footnotes 4.4. and 2.3.

2.3 Space-1-Expansion [Addendum] See main Footnote 4.4 on this subject.

Some unverified particle physics models of “dark matter” have been proposed2.4. For example, it has been claimed that only about 30% of the matter-energy in the universe is obervable, while the rest is the so-called “dark matter”2.4

The ‘average’ energy density decreases with the expansion of the universe, but the dark energy-matter density, is speculated to remain almost constant as Space-1 expands. Therefore, a universe composed of a larger fraction of the total energy-matter in the past, vs. today, may, in the future, be dominated by dark energy-matter. See also Footnotes 2.1 to 2.4, 4.4. and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2.

2.4 Dark Matter is unobservable, speculative, hidden form of matter-energy that has surfaced by theorists out of their various cosmological models that are attempting to explain the cause of the accelerated expansion of Space-12.3. [Refr. 56 and Footnotes 2.3, 2.5, 4.4]. Dark matter is also being claimed to permeate all space-time and to be repulsive in nature, so as to push-accelerate the expansion anywhere2.5.

The proponents of the speculative ‘dark-energy’ contribute to the speculative image of modern cosmology. Like string theories4.6 to 4.11 and ‘the cosmological constand’ 2.5, these approaches are non-scientific [51, 53]. The dark matter is too dark to be included in this book.

2.5 Resurrection of The Cosmological Constant. During the 1915-1929 events that had started with the publication (1915) of general relativity3.3 (Einstein’s Field Equations [EFE]) and Friedmann’s proof that EFE cannot accept any static-equilibrium solution [a stable universe], Einstein lost faith in the mathematical predictions of his general relativity when applied to cosmology. Like the media and most scientists of his time, he could not believe that we live in an


59

unstable universe; nothing expands on a cosmological scale on earth (unless you eat too much), in the solar system, or in our galaxy.

To prevent that ‘instability’, Einstein artificially forced on his general relativistic field equations a cosmological constant [vacuum energy] aimed at stopping that ‘unwanted’ expansion [or contraction].

Was Einstein contemplating more about the cause behind the observed dark-cold night sky, he may have reached an earlier different conclusion: That the dark-cold night sky is the simplest and direct proof that the cosmological predictions of his general relativity are right; that there is no need to add an artificial number to stop the (human) unwanted expansion of the cosmos, which at that time was not yet known.

In the 20’s, Hubble proved, by using well-verified4.1 astronomical observations, that SPACE-1 expands. [Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102; Table I, p.45, Chapter 1; Fig. 1.2]

When Einstein was informed about Hubble’s observational verification of the expanding universe, he has admitted that by forcing on his general relativistic field equations, the cosmological constant, he had been driven by human wishes to stop the ‘culturally-unwanted’ expansion, eventually concluding that the addition of this constant has been ‘the worst blunder of my life’

Einstein’s rejection of that constant from science was a serious blow to many theorists, for they have already piled, with their graduate students and followers, many ‘scientific papers’ that explain the [misleading] deep meaning of that ghost. But that was not the end of this constant. It has resurrected recently [Refs. 54, 57], by verification of the accelerated expansion of the universe2.4. Suddenly, armies of theorists could link that ghost to string theories4.6 to 4.11 and to another ghost: The ‘dark matter’2.4. As usual, the media, equipped with an embedded greed for higher rating, has embraced debates on dark matter, the cosmological constantand string theories, which re-equip cosmology with a rejecting speculative image and portray a wrong image of science in general.

Such un-subsiding attempts resemble a phenomenon that today, more than ever before, may be motivated by an inner desire to deny Einstein’s world outlook and refrain from admitting the need to surrender to his world outlook. What actually drives such ambitions I do not know.


60

3___________________________________________

The Greatest Ambition in Physics

An unknown source that, nevertheless, may be referred to as ‘logical’, ‘aesthetic’, ‘inner wish’, or ‘religious’, is driving human will to unify all fundamental forces of nature and fuse them into ‘unified field equations’, or a single World Outlook that is based on the minimal possible number of axioms while explaining the maximum number of verified facts. Currently, at high energies, these fundamental forces are:

The Electromagnetic-Weak (footnote 3.1)

The Strong (footnote 3.2)

Gravity (footnote 3.3)

At low energies the electromagnetic force-field-interaction separates from the weak, thereby we speak about FOUR fundamental forces of nature.

There is, in addition, a tantalizing clash between theoretical symmetry that controls the mathematics that describe the fundamental forces-fields-interactions, and the actual asymmetry of nature3.4; 3.5:

Asymmetry-Symmetery (footnotes 3.4; 3.5),

It would be possible to describe everything scientifically,but it would make no sense;

it would be without meaning,as if you described a Beethoven symphony

as a variation of wave pressure.

Albert Einstein


61

Symmetry, as I see it, is conserved in any physico-mathematical equation irrespective of the mathematical funambulism of its manipulators.

This fact is merciless: If anyone starts with symmetric equation the correct result can never be asymmetric. Similarly, asymmetry is conserved. Symmetry cannot result from asymmetry, nor vice versa. These ‘conservation laws’ are very important, as I find during investigations of their origin in nature and in our theories. They have been raised in the SYNOPSIS and are to be treated again later.

The Electromagnetic-Weak force-field-interaction is, in short, the electro–weak force. It is at the base of chemistry, biology, medical sciences and appliances, communication, electronics, electron-microscopy, telescopes, astronomy, radioactive decay, etc. It binds atoms together to form molecules3.1.

The Strong Force is at the base of subatomic, quantum physics3.2 and is being incorporated in various efforts by the proponents of the (unverifiable) string theories4.6 – 4.11.

Gravity3.3, a short term for the gravitational force-field-interaction, is described by general relativity. It reigns superb and controls all cosmological, galactic, stellar, planetary, terrestrial, geological, ecological, socio-biological, plants, animal structures-systems and key human concepts, as described in this volume.

Despite claims for success, as declared by some proponents of string theories4.6-4.11, the grand unification of the three fundamental forces of nature remains a run-away aspiration beyond the horizon of verifiable science.

During Einstein’s lifetime these efforts represented the fact that he had worked hard until his death (1955) in seeking grand scientific unification of all forces of nature (four at his time). He did not succeed however. His dictums reflect his skeptical view: Science is not the complete knowledge of nature, neither of things-in-themselves, nor of the will to will. The will to will is beyond physics.

If ‘everything’ and ‘things-in-themselves’ are explained one day by one unified physics, it may not explain the origin of our search for an


62

aesthetic frame of mind; for the run-away horizons of truth and asymmetry-symmetry3.4 that we always try to reach. [Assertions IN.1 and 1.1].

For that reason this CCC includes a chapter on realities in ‘the arts’; realities in which all interconnectedness between all branches of human knowledge play a role.

I return to this key theme in Chapter 10.

3.1 Electromagnetic-Weak Force-Field-Interaction. Note: While this is a long footnote, it is not an Introduction to the subject. Beyond it one may consult Footnotes 3.2 to 3.5 and Volume I, especially for some hot debates and specific disputations in physics.

The subject involves (at high energies) the long-range electromagnetic field-force-interactions (see below), with the Weak Force, as a short-range force-field-interaction that harbors some radioactive decay processes. At low energies it constitutes the fourth fundamental force field in modern physics.

The electromagnetic force is at the base of chemistry, biology, medical sciences, communication, electronics, electron-microscopy, telescopes, astronomy, etc.1.1 It binds atoms together to form molecules, including bio-molecules like DNA. It is about hundred times weaker than the strong force.3.2

Field-Force-Interactions are postulated to emit and absorb massless, point-like, field particles like photons of light and other field particles

3.2 .

Gluons3.2 are postulated to mediate the strong force3.2, while specific bosons ‘mediate’ the weak force. [Gravitons have also been proposed by some theorists to ‘mediate’ the gravitational force-field3..3.]

Sheldon Glashow, Abdus Salam and Steven Weinberg won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1979 [See List of all Nobel Prize Winners in Appendix II) for developing the electroweak theory that unifies the electromagnetic and week interactions. Inter alia it predicted the existence of the W and Z BOSONS at very high energies: About 82 Gev/c2 for W [verified later at 80.4 Gev/c2 ] and about 93 Gev/c2 for Z [verified later at 91.2 Gev/c2 ]. According to their theory both interactions have about the same strength at very high energies (symmetric).

The combination of the electroweak theory with Quantum Chromodyamics [QCD] for the strong interactions is termed THE STANDARD MODEL, which, however, does not include the gravitational field-force3.3 and it has not explained, say, why the point-like photon has no mass, while the W and Z bosons do. The origin of the masses of W and Z has been treated by postulating the existence of a hypothetical Higgs Boson, which, however, has not yet been verified experimentally.

3.2 The Strong Force-Field-Interaction. Note: While this is a long footnote, it is not an

Introduction to the subject. Beyond it one may consult Footnotes 3.1 and 3.3 to 3.5 and Volume I especially for some hot debates and specific disputations in physics.


63

The strong force is an attractive force between sub-atomic nucleons. It is a very short-range force-field-interaction. Its magnitude is negligible in ranges greater than about 10-15 meter. (about the size of the atomic nucleus). It increases with separation distance and is ‘mediated’ by massless field-particles called Gluons.

Gluons ‘mediate’ the strong force that binds/confines quarks (see below) inside protons and neutrons. I.e., each quark in a proton or neutron is continuously emitting and absorbing gluons. The energy of a gluon can generate quark-anti-quark pairs, like the creation of electron-positron pairs. When a quark emits or absorbs a gluon, the quark’s color charge (see below) may change.

Hadrons are sub-atomic entities that are not massless field particles like the photon and the gluon. These are sub-atomic particles that interact through the strong force. A hadron is a complex particle that has size and structure. It is a composite system of sub-atomic particles. Hadrons are, therefore, ‘non-elementary-particles’. They are composed of Fermions (Quarks) [see below] and antiquarks.

Hadrons are of two types: Baryons [Fermions], that have masses equal to or larger than that of the proton, and Mesons [Bosons] [having 0 or 1 spin]. They interact via all forces. Hadrons have quantum numbers: Spin, parity and mass. In addition they carry “flavor” quantum numbers such as isospin (or G-parity) and a ‘property’ called strangeness. Hadrons are single excitations in QCD, which predicts that quarks and gluons interact weakly. This ‘property’, which is called ‘asymptotic freedom’ has been experimentally confirmed at large energy levels between a GeV and a TeV .

Leptons have no inner structure, or size; namely, they are point-like field-particles of quantum physics -- a lacuna that some hope to be resolved by string theories4.6-4.11 All leptons have spin ½ and do not interact through the strong force. The following types are considered in quantum physics: Electrons, muons, taus and three types of neutrinos.

Messons are the Kaon, Pion, Eta; Baryons are the Proton, Neutron, Omega, Lambda, Sigma, Delta Xi. The kaon, lambda and sigma particles exhibit unusual ‘properties’, e.g. are produced in pairs when created or decayed very slowly, hence are called ‘strange particles’.

The Quark Model. Strong interaction that binds subatomic particles together is described by QCD. Quark gluons are gauge bosons in QCD. According to it quarks have a ‘property’ called color charge and the force between quarks is the strong force or the color charge, which may be due to gluon exchanges between hadrons.

Quarks are dividable into six flavors: up, down, strange, charm, bottom and top, and their antiquarks. Quarks harbor fractional electric charge and are NOT found free in nature. The up, charmed, and top quarks have electric charges of +2/3 that of the proton. The down, strange and bottom quarks have charges of –1/3 that of the proton. Protons consist of 2 up and 1 down quarks, whereas neutrons consist of 2 down and 1 up quarks.

Quarks are also identified by three ‘colors’: red, green, and blue. The masses of the heavy charm and bottom quarks are obtained from the masses of hadrons containing a single heavy quark and 1 light antiquark, or 2 light quarks.

Particles with the same color charge repel, while the ones with opposite color charge attract. A collection of, say, red, blue and green quarks attract each other to form baryons. Every baryon contains three quarks. A residual force between them is the force that binds protons and neutrons to form the atomic nuclei. Quarks and gluons are assumed to be combined to form baryons such as protons and neutrons, when the universe was dominated by photons3.1 (with a minor contribution from neutrinos). More information is available in Chapter 7.

3.3 The Gravitational Field-Force-Interaction [Gravity in short]. Note: While this is a long

footnote, it is not an Introduction to the subject. Beyond it, one may consult Footnotes 3.1 to 3.2; 3.4 to 3.5 and Volume I; especially for some hot debates and specific disputations in physics.

General relativity is based on the principle of equivalence (or duality10.4) between gravity and acceleration, and on the axiom that all laws of nature are exactly the same for any observer8.3; 3.4

These laws may be expressed as metric tensors8.3; 3.5 [in terms of the local curvature of space-time] and the energy-momentum tensor (conservation of energy-mass and momentum), and remain invariant [symmetric3.4] for, say, observers at rest, rotating, accelerating and standing on a small or a massive star. It is indisputable today that Einstein’s Field Equations [EFE]3.5 of general relativity constitute the single, best, scale-free, universal and verified theory of gravitation that physics has ever provided. EFE are based on the stress tensor and the Riemanian geometry of curved space-time. [Volume I]

Gravitation is a force-field-interaction that penetrates all and controls phenomena in the entire cosmos, at any time and place, as well as in everyday life on earth. It is at the very basis of the Central Theme and World Outlook presented in Volume I and here.

Gravity controls the structuring and thermodynamics of galaxies, stars, supernova explosions4.1,

planets, moons, black holes4.3 and quasars4.14. It is expressed by the deterministic, Einsteinian, tensorial, field equations, known also as Gravity Physics.

Gravity is a long-range force that penetrates everything. It is produced by any aggregated mass-energy, which, in turn, curves space-time4.3; 4.13; 4.14. i.e. gravity bends the path of light and of other entities3.1 so that the greater the mass-energy, the greater is the degree of bending. This bending is the manifestation of curved space-time.

The greater the mass of a star, the greater is the curvature of space-time. Therefore, magnifying gravitational lens are used in modern astronomy when the incoming radiation to the telescope has, on its way to earth, passed through a collection [cluster] of massive galaxies and/or stars. Such gravitational lens have been recently used to observe the “dark age” in astronomy, namely, when the age of the universe was about 300,000 to 500,000 sun-earth years; an important age during which the universe had become transparent for the first time, and gravity-induced structures had first been seeded when very large hydrogen-helium gas masses have first started to condense into very large stars that lead to proto-galaxies and galaxies as we observe them today. [Chapter 1, 7th ‘Day’.]

Time as treated by general relativistic cosmology, is slowed down by large galaxies and massive stars. This time effect is in addition to time effects treated by special relativity.

Special relativity rules superb not only in any (non-accelerating, deterministic) system, but also in probabilisic, quantum micro-physics. The theory is limited, however, to non-accelarating/non-gravitating systems. Unlike quantum microphysics, both special and general relativity are strictly deterministic.

When first applied to cosmology in 1919, general relativity predicted the expansion [or contraction] of the universe, a phenomenon that was first confirmed by observation in the 20s by the astronomer E. Hubble. (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102) What Hubble measured is an increase in


65

all distances [Space-1 increase] between clusters (Diagram in the opening pages, and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2) or super-clusters of galaxies4.14. The further the observed cluster, or super-cluster of galaxies, the greater is its speed of recession from us, or from any place in the cosmos. (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102).

Newtonian gravity is included in general relativity as an approximation in relatively weak gravitational fields, like that on earth. Newtonian gravity rules superb in controlling tides, geological strata, generation of mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, ponds, oceans, city and village structures, transportation systems, the solar system, and many human concepts.1.1 It also explains how gravity controls the solar system5.1 and the structures of planets, moons and smaller objects.

While most writers, mentors, teachers and professors stress the low strength of gravity on earth (in comparison with that of the strong force3.2), it is much stronger than the strong force in massive stars4.1, in black holes4.3, and in some galactic centers4.5. In such massive systems the gravitational force overcomes the strong force3.2 by crushing all atomic and sub-atomic structures4.1; 4.2.

Volume I, and this book, explain why the expansion of the universe4.4 is restricted to inter-cluster space-1 (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102, and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2), and why the observed universe is finite, expanding and boundless, as, say, in curved, 2-space dimensions and one time dimension of the surface of an inflating-expanding balloon (see Analogy I below), whose surface size is finite but boundless, i.e., its surface harbors no edge in curved two-dimensional space. It also explains the cooling of the remnant cosmic black body radiation2.12 and TYPE II of radiation energy that it contains. [Chapter 1, 7th ‘Day’]

Analogy I: Imagine ‘a two-dimensional, educated creature’ capable of living only on the 2-dimensional surface of an inflating-expanding balloon on whose expanding surface super-clusters of galaxies are marked as small, localized, closed shapes. The sole conclusion of that educated creature: All super-clusters of galaxies are receding away “from me”, no matter where I stand. For that creature, the balloon-universe has no edge. It is finite in surface area, but boundless. And it is not expanding "into" any extant space outside the balloon. For this educated creature the surface of the balloon is the whole universe, and nothing more. His universe therefore admits infinite paths of light in all directions. In our familiar three-dimensional universe there is also no space into which the universe is expanding. Other motions, rotations and changes in which we participate are briefed in footnote 5.2.

Analogy II: The Raisin Bread Analogy. Imagine each super-cluster of galaxies as a raisin. The raisins are spread evenly throughout a raisin bread dough that expands when heated in the oven. As the bread expands “an educated observer” located on each raisin sees all other raisins moving away from “his” raisin while his raisin remains at the same place and size. In a simplified analogy to the observed universe, one may further imagine that the bread has no edge, like in the balloon analogy, and is finite in total “size”; a size that is increasing with the age of the universe (the expanding Space-1). There is no clock other than that increase in size. Our sun-earth time is therefore totally irrelevant and misleading prior to the formation of the solar system. To replace it I use Table I, p.45 in Chapter 1.

Analogy III: The Home Bath-Tub. Imagine that your bathtub is made from a highly elastic rubber and that it is constantly being inflated and increasing its volume. (In analogy to the expanding SPACE-1, [DIAGRAM]). Imagine further that your bathtub expands faster than it is filled up with hot water. (In analogy to expanding SPACE-1, which is expanding at a faster rate than it is filled up with radiation energy streaming out of shining stars and galaxies, like the ones shown in the Diagram.). Now, if you had started inflating your bathtub from a high hot water-level mark – in analogy to the hot initial state of SPACE-1 -- that water level would go down with the expansion-inflation. Under such conditions your bathtub cannot be filled-up. (Space-1 temperature, or radiation energy density [Diagram], cannot but decrease, as is the temperature of the cosmic blackbody radiation4.12). This expanding bathtub represents the dark-cold night sky that you can observe by stepping out of your home on a non-cloudy night. Since SPACE-1 is UNSATURABLE to the streaming-in radiation, no inflowing mass-energy from nearby and far away clusters or super-clusters of galaxies can fill-it-up, as far as it keeps expanding fast enough,


66

and so it not only does, but is accelerating. (Chapter 2). The 2.7 deg. K of the background blackbody radiation4.12 and the dark-cold night sky are part of this verifiable facts. (Chapter 1). Space-1 expansion also causes electromagnetic irreversibility and the electromagnetic arrow of time. [Volume I]

In case the inflation-expansion of your bath-tub stops, the water level (the temperature of the background black-body radiation4.12) would start rising and the bath will be filled up (the night sky would become hotter and hotter until, eventually, it reaches the maximum fusion temperature4.2 of the interiors of stellar objects like the sun, or galactic systems4.5 (all galactic systems have about the same maximum temperature, therefore, there is no net flow from one adiabatic cell4.15 to another. [Diagram, opening pages])

Space-1 expansion was first discovered by Hubble in the 1920’s. It has since been re-affirmed by the 1964 discovery of the black body radiation4.12, by recent Hubble Space Telescope discoveries,and by independent methods described in details by VOLUME I.

Mathematical derivations of both special and general relativity are provided in Volume I, which also describes key measurement methods of astronomical distances, namely, how the detection of radiation that had emitted from past/far-away objects is used to establish distances to such objects.

3.4 Asymmetry Vs. Symmetry in Fundamental Science. This footnote constitutes an important component of footnote 3.5 and of the Central Theme of this book. While it is not a short one, it is not an Introduction to this important subject in science and in everyday life. Beyond this footnote one may consult footnotes 4.6 to 4.12 and Volumes I and II.

There is a great confusion in physics concerning fundamental Vs. primitive symmetries, guage symmetry, supersymmetry and time asymmetry in the actual world.

I shall first stress here the importance of symmetry in the formulations of verified fundamental forces-fields-interactions3.1; 3.2; 3.3. Here one can find theories expressed by Langrangians that remain invariant under certain symmetry operations. When these physico-mathematical operations are invariant under a transformation that is performed at any point in space, they are referred to as harboring a global symmetry, which becomes a local symmetry when fixed in space-time as a generalization of the equivalence principle of Einstein’s general relativity3.3; 3.5.

The importance of gauge symmetries may be illustrated by relativistic quantum mechanics of the electrons. In quantum physics3.2, symmetry is often referred to as a transformation between states that preserve the expectation values of all observables.

String theories4.6 to 4.11, and some formulations of general relativity, may be expressed as gauge theories [Volume I]. Gauge theories involve renormalisable operations in unified field theories3.5

in which symmetry transformations can be conducted locally as well as globally.

However, my Central Theme in the domain of physics3.5 is not focused on guage theories and guage symmetries. It may be stated as follows:

All fundamental laws of physics, except the 2nd law of thermodynamics1.2, are space and time symmetric. Namely, there is no distinction between any direction in space and in time. The Central Theme in this domain means that the observationally-based 2nd law of thermodynamics -- in its fundamental form1.2 -- states that in the actual world (E.g., in engineering practice, cosmology and history) the time coordinate can only extend from past to future, and never in reverse. This is termed ‘Time Asymmetry’.[Optional false dictumes of the 2nd law of thermodynamics may be stated as: ‘Entropy of the universe only increases’, ‘disorder in the universe only increases’, a falacy proved in Volume I.

All ‘exact’ sciences can be reduced to Physics, and all physics to the fundamental fields-forces-interactions [at high energies] electroweak3.1, strong3.2 and gravitational3.3.


67

In turn, these are expressed in terms of the mathematics of curved space-time in which there is no distinction between any direction (a plus or a minus coordinate) in space and in time, namely, all the basic equations of physics (except one: The 2nd law of thermodynamics), are strictly symmetric in time and space (curved space-time coordinates). (Cf. Chapter 8, p. 106, as well as Volume I, string theories4.6 – 4.11)

Any claim that may rise to the status of a reliable theory in science must be compared with, or predict verifiable observations.

Nevertheless, in the actual (macro) world, there is a tantalizing clash between the aforementioned theoretical symmetry and the actual time asymmetries found in nature. This result is based on the fact that all processes in nature are irreversible and pointing (an imaginary) ‘arrow’ from past to future, and never in reverse.

That ‘arrow of time’ is an optional fundamental expression of the 2nd law of thermodynamics. In turn, any solution of the three symmetric fundamental forces, say, as integro-differential equation that is to be compared with verifiable observations, is subject to the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics(in the macro world).

Finally, to conclude this footnote -- and return to footnote 3.5 -- let me stress again that there are different time asymmetries: The cosmological, thermodynamic, electromagnetic, linguistic and other gravity-induced asymmetries (arrows of time).

Which one is the Super-Asymmetry that controls all other arrows of time?

What is the Origin and Cause of the aforementioned contradiction?

Despite many claims for success, none has yet succeeded to derive and prove the origin of irreversibility in nature – of the Master Time Asymmetry (Volume I) -- from symmetric mathematical equations of statistics, probabilities, where retrodiction is precisely symmetric to prediction – or by starting from symmetric partial differential equations, say of electromagnetism3.1 (see also the Einstain-Ritz controversy [1]) and its integro-differential equation-solutions that are ‘man-forced’ to evolve only in the positive time direction, namely, by man-wish selection of only the INITIAL CONDITIONS while a priori rejecting FINAL CONDITIONS (ending ‘up’ with retarded solutions in electromagnetism, which agree with observations of emitter vs. absorber), while rejecting, or intentionally avoiding, the ADVANCEDSOLUTIONS (which do not agree with observations). I call this common phenomenon

SMUGGLING INTO THE FABRICATED ‘PROOF’ THE RESULT THAT THE SCIENTIST

WANTS TO PROVE WHILE NOT DECLARING THE CONTRABAND.

In Volume 1 -- and in earlier publications -- I replaced such smuggling acts by using legal, general relativistic cosmology and the observed Space-1-Expansion (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102) as the origin and cause of irreversibility and time asymmetries3.4 in nature, thereby basing the origin of all irreversible processes in nature on general relativistic cosmology (Ref. 13). It may be stressed, however, that at least one work in physico-chemistry, by an untired activist, has been awarded the Nobel Prize for presenting the Nobel-Prize-Committee with mathematically illegal funambulism of a false ‘proof’.

The resulting world outlook presented here is more unified with the rest of physics via its foundations that are deduced from the classical Einstein’s Field Equations, which, in turn, accept no static cosmological solutions. These were originally predicting that the universe cannot stay static (thereby attaing thermal equilibrium), i.e., it must expand, or contract, which is what I term in Volume I the Master Cosmological Arrow of Time, or the MASTER TIME ASYMMETRY that emerge from general relativity.

My CENTRAL THEME CONCLUSION in Branch A3.5 may therefore be stated as::


68

THERMODYNAMICS, TIME ASYMMETRIES and IRREVERSIBILITY ARE BASED ON THE SYMMETRIC

EQUATIONS OF GENERAL RELATIVITY AND ARE, THEREFORE, UNIFIED WITH THE REST OF

SYMMETRIC EQUATIONS OF FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS, CLASSICAL, STATISTICAL and

PROBABILISTIC THERMODYNAMICS (and Information Theories that are based on them) that

extract asymmetry from symmetry.

3.5 Unified Field Theories Einstein was isolated in his attempts to develop unified physics via relativistic unified field theories that harbor what we call gravitation [or gravity in short]. Part of that isolation is due to his consistent claim that quantum theories are incomplete and would, in due time, be replaced by an ultimate unified theory of physics.

It is indisputable today that Einstein’s Field Equations [EFE] constitute the single, best, scale-free, universal and verified theory of gravitation that physics has ever provided. EFE are based on the stress tensor8.3 and the Riemanian geometry of curved space-time3.3. [Volume I]

Following Einstein’s publication (1915) and later verifications of EFA by astronomical observations, Einstein had focused his mind on unification of the gravitational and electromagnetic fields-forces-interactions3.1; 3.3. However, it has turned out that ordinary Riemanian theory cannot exhibit the electromagnetic field-force-interaction as a purely geometric phenomenon. [see also below]

During Einstein’s life time the strong field-force-interaction3.2 was not yet formulated as it currently stands. Armies of theorists focus today on a reversed effort: Develop a quantum theory of gravitation, or quantum gravity. So far all these unverified efforts have also failed4.6 to 4.11.

Some other reputed theorists, including Erwin Schrödinger, Arthur Eddington, Theodor Kaluza and Herman Weyl, have tried, in vain, during Einstein’s life time, to unify the fundamental forces recognized by the physics of their time.

For instance, Erwin Schrödinger investigated pure-affine formulations of generalized gravitational theory, assuming, intially, a symmetric affine connection. But he later changed his efforts to a nonsymmetric mathematics. Nonetheless, skepticism from Einstein discouraged him, and his work has been largely ignored.

Einstein continued to work, in vain, until his death, on unified field theories of gravity and electromagnetism, but he became isolated in his efforts that ignored quantum theories. Nonetheless, many contemporary theorists have changed their mind about Einstein’s attitude toward quantum theory, at least by admitting that quantum theories are not complete for they do not incorporate general relativity [gravitation]. This change of mind has led, since Einstein’s death, to numerous efforts to verifiy a single, reliable string theory4.6 to 4.11, all in vain.

In the past, to incorporate electromagnetism into general relativity, Weyl generalized the Riemannian geometry by adding degrees of freedom between two points in locally sized measures along a path, in terms of a guage and vector fields, thereby unifying electromagnetic and gravitational fields. Weyl corresponded with Einstein about his theory, which, eventually, has turned out to be non-physical. Nevertheless, his gauge invariance was later applied in quantum filed theory [Volume I]

Kaluza's approach to unification was to resort to a single time and four space dimensions. Riemannian geometry was maintained and the extra dimension allowed to incorporate the electromagnetic field vector into modified EFE. Despite collaboration with Einstein, his theory did not admit a symmetric outcome. Yet it influenced Einstein's work and was further developed later by Klein in an attempt to unify relativity with quantum theory.4.6 to 4.11, in vain.

Another approach that, however, has not succeedded, is termed the Lancelot Law Whyte's unitary field theory. Affine connection is the basis of Eddington’s approach that resorts to parallel transport


69

of vectors from one space-time point to another; assuming it to be symmetric in its covariant form. Since the simplest cosmological model emerging from Eddington’s equations is symmetric, Eddington’s theory has failed in the face of cosmological-astronomical evidence.

These attempts eventually centered around treating both the metric tensor8.3 and the affine connection as fundamental fields. In general relativity, these are symmetric3.4, but since actual electromagnetism harbors asymmetry (Cf. Einstein-Ritz Controversy [1]), the mixing issue arises.

In such field theories sub-atomic particles -- the domain of quantum theories -- appear as fenced regions in curved space-time in which energy density is very high. Einstein and coworker Leopold Infeld had demonstrated that, in the unified field, singularities may harbor ‘point particles’3.2; 4.6 to

4.11. However, singularities are points where the equations may not be valid. In conclusion; Einstein believed that in an ultimate unified theory of physiucs the same physical law would apply everywhere-anytime, with particles being soliton-type [Volume I] solutions to the field equations.

The Standard Model3.2 unifies the description of electromagnetism, weak interactions and strong interactions in the language of gauge theory. Quantum Chromo Dynamics [QCD] is a gauge theory with action of SU(3) on the color triplet of quarks3.2. Non-abelian gauge theories involve asymptotic freedom in strong interactions3.2.

The importance of gauge theories is in allowing unification of quantum filed theories of electromagnetism3.1 with the weak and the strong forces in the Standard Model, which accurately predicts experimental observations regarding three of the four fundamental forces of nature.
