Why does matter always contain other matter in motion?


PSI Blog 20181128 Why does matter always contain other matter in motion?

Abhishek asked this question. Here are my answers and his follow-ups:

[GB: For the same reason that a balloon contains matter inside to resist the matter outside--univironmental determinism, remember?]

Abhi:

Then what would happen if all forms of matter were not in motion?

[GB: There would be no universe.]

Abhi:

But why? Besides, when Einstein said that nothing can travel faster than light, he put an upper limit on maximum velocity in the universe i.e. 299,792,458 m/s. But what he said was actually wrong because faster than light is possible and there is no upper limit on maximum velocity in the universe. Similarly when you say that matter must be in motion, you are putting a lower limit on minimum velocity in the universe i.e. velocity of matter must be greater than 0 m/s and never equal to it. So it may be possible that this may also be equally wrong because there may not actually be any lower limit on minimum velocity in the universe just the same way there is no upper limit on maximum velocity in the universe. Can you please look deeply into the matter?

[GB: Look at the balloon example again. For the balloon to keep its shape, it simply must have enough pressure inside (submicrocosms in motion) to counteract the pressure outside (supermicrocosms in motion). This is true for all microcosms (things). Decrease the pressure inside and the microcosm implodes; decrease the pressure outside and microcosm explodes. The velocities of the submicrocosms and supermicrocosms are secondary.

By using the analog for sound in air, I have speculated that short-range travel of aether particles might occur at velocities 50% greater than what the medium produces for long-range travel. If you have a reference for faster than light travel, I would like to read it.

The reason c appears as an upper limit on velocity is because that is the velocity characteristic of wave motion through the aether medium. All media have a characteristic for wave velocity (e.g., air transmits sound at 343 m/s). Particle accelerators cannot exceed c because they use electromagnetic wave motion to perform the acceleration. Also, the aether medium is filled with aether particles that provide resistance to the motion of other particles.

Sorry, but to say there are velocities less than 0 makes no sense. On the other hand, you could say there are infinitely small velocities in the same way we can approach absolute zero, but never reach it. That is an experimental fact that provides support both for the Eighth Assumption of Science, infinity (The universe is infinite, both in the microcosmic and macrocosmic directions) and for the Fourth Assumption of Science, inseparability (Just as there is no motion without matter, so there is no matter without motion).]

Print copies of “Infinite Universe Theory” now available!


PSI Blog 20181121 Print copies of “Infinite Universe Theory” now available!

Finally, IUT is available in paperback. You have a choice of black and white ($19.95) or color ($49.95). Purchasers of either of these can get a copy of the e-Book for $2.99. 

If you are on a tight budget, you can get the black and white version. You can see the color versions of the photos in the e-Book and use the links to check out the definitions and to visit my links to important web pages. 

Of course, the color version of the paperback is wonderful. Not many of those will be printed, so I suspect it will become a collector’s item.

All three versions are at:

Egads! Hawking says time travel possible!


PSI Blog 20181114 Egads! Hawking says time travel possible!


The passage of the premier propagandist (Stephen Hawking 1942-2018) for the Big Bang Theory has just been marked by his recent posthumous last words:


His claim that time travel is possible also makes him only second to Einstein as the most famous regressive physicist.

As our readers know, the correct assumption is irreversibility. Here is the brief passage I wrote starting on page 80 in Infinite Universe Theory :

 Seventh: Irreversibility


All processes are irreversible.

“Irreversibility deals with the abstraction of motion that we call time. In its broadest application, universal time is the motion of all things with respect to all other things. In its narrowest application, specific time is the motion of one thing with respect to another thing. Again, time is motion, and therefore does not exist—it occurs. Time is not part of the universe. It is what its various parts do. Time is irreversible because each motion of each microcosm in the Infinite Universe is unique. Folks who still believe that travel into the past might be possible are either delusional Sci-fi fans or victims of relativity.

One way to view it is this:

1.   It is a fact that the planets, stars, galaxies, etc. are in motion with respect to each other.
2.   That makes the night sky unique. It is never the same even two seconds in a row.
3.   “Going back in time” would entail moving those heavenly bodies back to the positions they had on the night targeted for this fanciful adventure. Good luck with that.

The opposing assumption, reversibility, underpins systems philosophy, which tends to overemphasize the system and neglect the environment. Lab technicians often believe they can demonstrate reversibility by providing a semblance of former experimental conditions. When we ignore the environment, reactions in such systems seem like they are reversible. However, when the environment is included, then each reaction properly appears unique and unprecedented. With perfectly empty space being impossible and with the ubiquity of aether, our inability to produce perfect isolation prevents us from getting exactly the same result each time we perform an experiment. Even though the idea of reversible time makes great stories for science fiction, it holds no relevance in the real world. Prospective time-travelers are destined to be forever disappointed.”

That is simple, but not so if you fail to get your assumptions in a row. Looks like regressive physics will be wallowing in its mess for quite some time…
