TFNR - The origin and the evolution of the Universe
To explain the origin and the evolution of the Universe we propose a new vision, new hypotheses, a new model, what we call Cosmic evolutionary dynamics and the Evolutionary Cosmological Model (ECM).
A very different story about the creation and the evolution of the Universe, as the "present" section of Reality.
These are the most important and peculiar aspects of this story:
No beginning. Endless. Time was born within the Process of Formation.
No borders. No special points. Space was born within the same process.
No first Cause. No external force. The Source is internal to the process itself. Its existence, its manifestation is the Process of Formation of Reality. Its essence is the Form of the evolving Universe.
Things don't exist in the ordinary classical sense. Things, everything, happens. The true fundamental "substance" that composes things, atoms, molecules, objects, stars, galaxies, dark matter, dark energy, everything, are not particles and waves, the real "substance" are the Events, Elementary Events, fluctuations at the Planck scale of / in the Elementary Field produced by the Action of the Fundamental Force (Force and Field are the two aspects of the Source of Reality). Elementary Events organized in Processes, huge and complex networks of Elementary Events, that evolve incessantly toward more and more Complex Events, forming increasingly complex Processes, which together make up the entire Process of Formation of Reality.
Or rather, what really matters are the "distributions of Elementary Events" that support Information, those patterns that organize their Relations in Processes, which we can mathematically described through stochastic / deterministic processes, which correspond to the creative and evolving chaos / order processes that form Reality.
Everything, absolutely everything, in its most elementary foundation depends on the distributions of the Elementary Events produced by the interaction of the fundamental / elementary Entities, by the Relations, or correlations, which organize the Events into Processes. All. Everything is relative, as it arises from the Relations between Events. Space, Time, Mass, Motion, Charge, Spin and so on up to the more complex Forms of Existence.
From the correlation between the distributions of Elementary Events springs the profoundly uncertain, quantum, probabilistic nature of Reality at the most elementary levels, which in the evolution towards greater complexity, towards greater spatial and temporal extensions, compensate, mediate, giving rise to an emergent determinism that brings us to the classical view that characterized the early development of physics.
It is, again, from the organization of Elementary Events, Relations and Processes that the first Structures of Information arise. The first Vortices, the first convective structures in space-time (a space-time in very slow heating, now at the mean temperature of about 2.7 Kelvin degrees), characterized by a minimal but increasing inhomogeneity, an emerging organization of the Elementary Field, which in a very slow evolution leads to the formation of the first Dark structures. These, growing and interacting in successive processes of aggregation, merger and annihilation, filled all the available space, creating what we now understand to be the dark structure of the cosmic web.
From the incessant and changing interaction of dark structures, which we observe as giant voids, dark halos of various sizes, walls and strings between them, ordinary matter arose and continues to arise, from the interaction of the boundaries of those bubbles, halos, from boundaries formed by what we assume is Dark energy generating a swirling dynamic in space-time. A foam of correlations between the distributions of Elementary Events, which generates micro Vortices and Waves, which immediately evolve into Particles, accelerated by immense and intense magnetic fields.
A rarefied but incessant process, at times or locally more intense, extended episodes of formation of ordinary matter, which alternate with periods of scarce production, in an expansion and contraction of the great dark structures, which in an incessant, very slow breath, produce foam, like the sea through its waves. From the consequent collisions between the elementary particles thus produced and accelerated, more complex particles are formed and begin to collapse into the less extensive but more dense, massive dark halos.
Just as from this dark cosmic dynamic, which involves immense and invisible structures, the ever more complex dynamics of visible matter arose and continues to arise, the dance that involves every structure, every form in this unlimited, infinite and eternal Universe that hosts us and of which, like the whole planet we inhabit, we represent a highly complex and constantly evolving part.
The first gas clouds, then the first stars, the clusters of stars, the first galaxies. And so on, ordinary matter, which, like a flowering, gradually colonizes the immense expanses of dark structures. And the dark dance is enriched with light, radiant energy, infinite local dynamics, which together create the immense complexity of the Universe in evolution.
The evolution of the Universe is a dynamic unitary process through which the set of all the Material Forms and Immaterial Forms that make up the Universe, interacting, organize, transform ed emerge from Selection, in an incessant co-evolution towards levels of increasing complexity.
This universal process gathers everything that exists in a single direction and includes all the formative Processes that emerge into existence.
This is the universal Reality, in incessant mutation, the manifestation of the incessant evolutive action expressed by the set / networks of Events, of the Action, of all the Information, the Structures of Information, all the existing Forms, everything that emerge from the Process of Formation of Reality.
The Universe is the product of the Process of Formation of Reality (PFR), the conceptual framework of the unitary process that represents the causal pathway that leads from the Source to the Forms, from One to multiplicity. Therefore, the Universe is the set of all the Action, Information, Structures of Information, materials Forms (force vectors, radiation, dark and ordinary energy and matter, etc.) and immaterial Forms (the intangible product of the cognitive activity of Living Forms, or, more generally, of Finalistic Agents). It is the current section of Process, the "present". Ever-changing, ever-evolving, as we have seen, the Universe is incessantly re-created and incessantly evolves under the constant pressure of the Source, from the most basic level, the unorganized Elementary Field, to the most complex levels, both in cosmological domain than in the biological and cognitive one.
An immense network of Forms and interconnections, incessantly animated and enlivened by the Source. From the smaller aggregates of matter, atoms and molecules formed by the interaction of Structures of Information, to gas clouds from which aggregation and condensation the first stars born, to the huge structures of dark matter that aggregate ordinary matter to form galaxies and still wider cosmic structures, as the clusters of galaxies that give shape to the immensity of the cosmos, to even larger structures that our technological look finds hard to embrace. And, again, from the prebiotic organic molecules that arise from the elements arising from the explosions of stars, to the simplest forms of life, to increasingly advanced sentient beings, to the man that inhabits this living planet and to the intangible forms of thought, to the emotions, to the human culture. In a crescendo of complexity, we reach the boundaries of the complexity of the Universe, from the very small and elementary to the infinitely large and complex. A universe in permanent formation, evolving in dynamic equilibrium between chance and uncertainty, necessity and finality.
Evolution of the Physical Universe
For "Evolution of the Physical Universe" we intend the sub-process of Process of Formation of Physical Reality, the Physical Evolution, of the physical domain of the Universe, the "the present" section of the Physical Reality.
The origin and evolution of the Universe can be observed under many perspectives. The most important are:
- the Physical vision
- the Cosmological vision
- the Biological vision
The Physical vision gives us a point of view focused on the fundament of the Physical Reality, from the dynamics of most elementary and fundamental levels of Reality, the Dynamics of the Source, the Force / Field couple, the Elementary Action and its basic modes of expression, the Information (quantum and classical), the Structures of Information (the Dark and the Visible Waves and Particles / Vortices)
The Cosmological vision give us a peculiar point of view on the Physical Reality focused on the origin and evolution of the objects and the structures that make up the Physical Universe. It is the field of astrophysics and cosmology.
Finally, the Biological Vision shows us the most complex aspects of the known Universe, the Living beings and Automata and their complex biological dynamics capable of supporting the Cognitive Reality.
The Age of the Physical Universe
The Physical Universe is timeless, without beginning and eternal.
Without beginning because Time is part of the Evolution of the Universe, it is part of Physical Reality, and because it is very unlikely that a "First Event" started Reality. A first event implies a Cause external to the history of Reality, and this is an absurd requirement if, as Reality is understood in this System of Knowledge, Reality includes everything, every Event, every Relation, every Process.
Eternal because the only cause that could end Reality would be the waning of the Action of the Primary Source in the incessant Creation of Elementary Events, and there is no reason for this to happen.
We must stop thinking of Reality, the Evolving Universe, as a finite entity, which is born and dies, which begins and ends, in our image and likeness.
The evolutionary lines of the inanimate Forms
From the interactions between composite structures, systems of elementary structures, Waves and Vortices, which make up the Dark and Ordinary matter, the elementary forms that make up inanimate matter, atoms and molecules arise.
The complex and infinitely long Process of Formation of Physical Reality, which from the void, the unorganized Elementary Field, leads to the Universe as it appears to us today, sees the progressive appearance and the fundamental action of the large low-density structures that we call dark matter.
These, in a remote epoch of the life of the cosmos, were decisive in triggering intense and lasting processes of formation of ordinary matter, which progressively aggregated and formed the great gas clouds from which stars, galaxies, groups, clusters and the superclusters that characterized the cosmic geometry, emerged.
Networks of cosmic structures, whose complex dynamics is based on the delicate balance between gravity and the phenomenon called Dark Energy, two aspects of a single structural property of the Elementary Field, the causal substrate that Information incessantly organizes into infinite everchanging Forms.
A universe in incessant construction, governed by simple natural fundamental Physical Principles which, combining in innumerable proportions and modalities, create an infinite network of interacting forms.
