TFNR - Conclusions: a look into the future
To you, reader, who have had the strength and perseverance to reach this twelfth and final chapter, my thanks and my appreciation. I hope I have managed to convey the great passion that has supported me in this long research that began when, as a child, I took things apart to see how they were made and how they worked.
I also hope I was able to outline my vision of Reality and how it works, a multilayered reality, where each layer, while appearing to be a separate world, becomes truly understandable and makes sense only if seen as a part of the whole.
A Reality where an immense and infinite Process of Formation, both creative and evolutionary, incessantly transmutes the possible into the actual, constructs more and more complex forms starting from more elementary components, and so on up to the infinite complexity of the Universe in evolution.
As we have seen many times in previous chapters, everything is Entities that produce Events organized by Relations in Processes. This infinitely repeated scheme, in an exasperated parallelism, produces the incessant Formation of Reality, both in the physical and cognitive domain of Nature.
In this last chapter, a few more words about this work, about how it originated and developed, about its aims and intentions, about possible lines of development, formalization, observations and experiments, and a last note about its final purpose and meaning for our lives, and what knowledge and consciousness can represent for our individual and collective well-being and development.
Then we will try to outline the work ahead, a program of adequate formalization strategy, new observations and experiments and re-edition of classical experiments, exploration of the dynamics and process of formation of cognitive reality.
And more, I will try to give some concise answers to two fundamental questions: Who are we? What are we? Finally, a look at an aspect that I consider extremely important: the value of research and its possible impact on our lives and well-being, as human beings reflecting on the Universe and on the Reality of which we are part.
12.1 About this work
Origin
It is difficult to describe the origin of this work. It all stems from a great interest in knowledge, science, philosophy, humanism, and a thousand other things. A curiosity for reality as a whole, a passion for physics and cosmology in particular, astonishment at the infinite complexities that Nature has built around us and that fill us with wonder.
Lots of observation, reading, studying, thinking, thought experiments, a great interest in knowledge management and organization, in traditional knowledge systems, philosophies, religions, esoteric schools, and so on.
A propensity for syncretism and cultural contamination, the desire to extract the knowledge necessary to explain the world and its laws, distill useful information to describe and explain the functioning and evolution of reality. Reality. The whole, the Universe in evolution.
Aims and intentions
The main purpose of this work is the construction of a new System of Knowledge, a reference framework that can accommodate traditional and modern, philosophical and scientific contributions, a unified vision that can lead us towards a wider and deeper understanding of Reality.
I hope that this work can help and contribute to:
- give a broader and deeper vision of Reality and how it functions
- formulate new hypotheses on the fundamental aspects of Reality
- activate new lines of research, both theoretical and experimental
- refocus science research on the fundamental questions with a more productive approach: less math, more ideas!
Scope of work
The scope of this research is Reality as a whole. In this paper I have focused on Physical Reality, from the infinitely small, the object of study of physics, to the infinitely large, the perspective of cosmology, the Universe in evolution.
Development
This research, driven by curiosity to know and by dissatisfaction with most of the common explanations provided by academic science, has developed over a long period of time starting from some particular ideas: the need to shift attention away from particles (discrete structures) to something more fundamental (a universal continuous field in which discreteness emerges due to physical evolution), the need to overcome the consolidated atomic models, even the quantum one, the need to find a fundamental meaning for the terms space, time, mass, motion, charge and spin and the related phenomena in term of something more fundamental, the will to redefine the concepts of nothingness and emptiness and to explore a world in which the speed of light in the most elementary field, while representing the limiting speed, is not a constant, but depends on the organization, on the structure of the field itself and of the fluctuations that represent its dynamics at the most fundamental level.
No toe but everything in the senso of the general cognitive scheme in which accomodate physical and cognitive reality
Method / difficulties multilayered reality
Reality is so multilayered and complex, even at those we think are its most elementary levels. It's difficult to get the unity in the multiplicity, to reach a synthesis in a world dominated by analysis.
Ideas / Hypotheses / Proposals
- Reality as a whole, a unitarian process: a process that from the Source leads to the Universe in evolution, through Action, Information, Form
- Reality as the result of that same process, the Process of Formation: a unitarian process that manifests itself in two complementary sub-processes, Creation (the production of Action, the Existence) and Evolution (the production of Information, the Essence / Form)
- Everything evolves: even the Source, the absolute, the unitarian primary entity, which manifests itself as a couple of complementary sub-entities, the Fundamental Force and the Elementary Field, from whose inner interaction everything is created and evolves
- Reality: a multilayer existential structure: identification of a fundamental / elementary level of Reality (direct emanation of the Source and the fundamental dynamics produced by the Action of the Force on the Field)
- Central role of relation, or better "correlation" in the organization of Reality
- Everything is Information, or its elementary physical form, Energy: In-Form-Action, the Action with a Form, the Form of Action... the time derivative of Action... at the most elementary level of Reality, the scheme of organization (Process) of the correlations (Relation) between the distributions of the elementary fluctuations (Events) of the Elementary Field at the Planck scale produced by the Action of the Fundamental Force (Force and Field, the two aspects of the Source of Reality (Entity)
- Speed of Light: a limit, not a constant: mirror of the peculiar dynamics of the Elementary Field which generates the fundamental processes which incessantly form Reality
- Metric (space and time, space-time) / Mass, Motion, Charge and Spin: the fundamental physical quantities, as fundamental manifestations of the correlations in the dynamics of the Elementary Field and the Elementary Action and its Modes / Components, Perturbation, Translation and Rotation (Chirality and Axix Orientation)
- Weak and strong nuclear forces / fields and related phenomena as derived / complex phenomena, combination of the more fundamental physical quantities (sources: the forces / fields couples): metric / mass, motion, charge,
- Energy and Matter, both dark and visible/ordinary, as
- From continuity (Fields) to discreetness (Structures of Information, organized parts in / of the Fields)
- No particles - low density - diffuse Dark Matter: a sort of middle ground between Dark Matter and MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics), middle ground in the sense of explanatory power of the combined apparently contradictory aspects of a substance on one side and of a strange seemingly anomalous behaviour of the space-time itself, not of the nature of the entities and phenomena involved.
Schemes
Terminology / Language
Sources
non tutta farina del mio sacco
beside some original concepts, schemes, and visions, most of the material I used to try to construct this new system of knowledge is using many rielaborazioni di idee concetti schemi of traditional knowledge and modern science:
the Source (FF and EF) from Taoism, to me the most wonderful representation how Reality is made and function, even it the ancien text are written expositions of strange and fantastic images... the language of that times, and significato stravolto da ... result of oral traditions and infinite transcriptions and translations, anche operate da persone che non conoscevano il vero senso dei testi, delle espressioni, immagini, parole...
inconstancy of the Speed of Light, an idea of alcuni scientist che in vari momenti si sono espressi o hanno accennato nei loro lavori, ed un recente movimento ...
Other purposes
This study also intends to be a manifesto against reductionism, or rather, against an absolute reductionism, which has led science to extremely brilliant results, but, over time, has condemned it to take a series of dead ends and to enter a crisis increasingly acute and difficult to overcome. And at the same time a manifesto against a certain imaginative "science", which loses itself in flights of fancy into the absurd, improbable untestable theories, lost in mathematics, always hunting for new particles, multiverses, unicorns, and who knows what else...
The reductionist approach, an exasperated manifestation of the marvelous analytical power of the human mind, is by itself like a drill capable of reaching unheard-of depths, but always at the risk of getting lost in these same depths. It needs a guide, an overall vision, capable of providing the direction, the purpose, the way. A "systemic" approach (I can't think of another more suitable and commonly used term), a global vision, a manifestation of the wonderful synthetic power of the human mind, which, by itself, cannot lead us to a true, broad and deep understanding of the Fundamental Nature of Reality. Analysis and synthesis, the two fundamental pillars of the search for knowledge, without extremes, must interact constantly, to avoid getting lost in dead ends or in useless superficial visions.
12.2 A lot of work to do
This is only the beginning. There is a lot of work to do.
No claims that physics and cosmology are complete and in Nature there is nothing more to explain.
More in depth
Many ideas, concepts, hypotheses have only been hinted at. In-depth studies and verifications are necessary both from a theoretical and an observational / experimental point of view.
Even if my intent has always been to provide a unified and coherent vision, some parts appear fragmented and unrelated, also because they were developed in different and successive moments of this long research.
Formalization
Observations and experiments
The cognitive domain of Nature
12.3 Fundamental questions: Who are we? What are we?
Questo lavoro deve anche aiutarci a rispondere a domande fondamentali su noi stessi come individui e come rappresentanti di una specie vivente senziente.
12.4 Knowledge and Consciousness
Nothing is really worth if it doesn't help improve our lives
Knowledge and Consciousness...
The key to the Source (in search of)
A good positive approach to life and Nature / unity, interconnection, construction (through Action)
Liberation (individual and collective)
Knowledge without consciousness is nothing or even dangerous (as we can see in the world...) - Curiosity kills the cat... Study of Nature (physics, cosmology can be only to satisfy our (legittima) curiosity in front of the wonderful show of Nature, but must represent a step forward in a wider and deeper understanding of the Fundamental Nature of Reality, and, as men, to live more positively and profitably the Reality which we are part of.
