• Terminological conventions - (T)

2.1 The Research Project

• The Research Project - (T)
• The main questions about Physical Reality - (T)
• Very important hypotheses about Reality - (T)
  • Reality and the Universe “does not exist” in a conventional sense, the whole Reality “happens”
  • Creation (or) and Evolution
  • The whole Reality is incessantly empowered by a Source of Events/Action (a Force / Field couple)
  • Everything is relative but the Source (Fundamental Force and Elementary Field)
  • Quantum time symmetry
  • Different kind of forces/fields: a matter of complexity
  • Mass, motion, charge and spin: the key is (cor)relation, organization, information
  • Energy is an elementary form of Information (or Information is a complex form of energy)
  • The “inconstancy” of natural constants and an amazing equivalence
  • Matter is not fundamental, or, better, is not so fundamental...
  • Radiation and particles are not the main part of what exists (or rather, “happens”) in Nature
  • The shape of particles and atoms is different from what we think and ever changing
  • Where is the electron? No point particles. No “solid”, unchangeable particles
  • When mass rises, volume (space extension) lowers
  • Dark matter is not made of particles
  • Dark energy as anti-mass (or positive density mass)
  • Cosmic expansion as an effect of the rising complexity of Reality
  • Large scale homogeneity of the cosmos
  • No Big Bang! No inflation! We don’t really need things like these…
  • No limits at all
  • The Universe is intrinsically flat

• Creation “and” Evolution: two complementary aspects of Formation
• Action and Information: the core of Reality
• Existence and Essence

• The main causal chain of Reality

2.4 The elementary levels of Reality
