PSI Blog 20250805 Is
the Infinite Universe a Perpetual Motion Machine?
No.
Thanks to Richard for this interesting question:
“Congratulations on
your excellent work. If the universe is infinite in time and space and our system
is running down there must be places where creation occurs. I can’t find
anything in your publications that describe the creation process. It must be a
creation from Aether.”
[GB: Thanks so much
for the compliment. You are correct about the creation of ordinary matter from
aether. You can find my speculations about that in “Infinite Universe Theory” on
p. 249 (Ch. 16.4) and in the new 2nd edition of "The Scientific
Worldview" p. 264 (Ch. 19). The discussion requires the Ninth Assumption
of Science, relativism (All
things have characteristics that make them similar to all other things as well
as characteristics that make them dissimilar to all other things). The gist is
this: Like snowflakes and everything else in the universe, no two aether
particles are identical. The bigger ones provide shelter for smaller ones as
they are continually bombarded by other aether particles. That means smaller aether
particles are pushed toward larger aether particles, eventually combining with
them. That is similar to the way atoms, the solar system, the Milky Way, and
other vortices in the universe form. Also, according to the Eighth Assumption
of Science, infinity (The universe is infinite, both in the
microcosmic and macrocosmic directions) aether particles are themselves formed
from even smaller particles ad infinitum.]
“If so, Einstein was
wrong to deny patents for perpetual motion machines. Is the universe in
perpetual motion?”
[GB: Machines are finite
XYZ portions of the Infinite Universe. And, as such, they are subject to the
Sixth Assumption of Science, complementarity (All things are subject to
divergence and convergence from other things). The divergence is otherwise
governed by the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which applies only to isolated
systems as things come apart via inertia of their various submicrocosms
(parts). The convergence, of course, is a law describing the coming together of
things (i.e., what one might consider “creation” of things from other things as
in the creation of described above). The creationist’s creation, as in the Big
Bang Theory, is forbidden by the Fifth Assumption of Science, conservation
(Matter and the motion of matter can be neither created nor destroyed). That is
why cosmogony and the Big Bang Theory are considered religious instead of
scientific.
Einstein was correct
in disallowing patents for supposed “perpetual motion machines.” Again,
machines are finite XYZ portions of the Infinite Universe.
They all need “refueling” (a convergence) to continue in operation. The Infinite Universe is not finite, of course, and does not have XYZ dimensions
because it exists everywhere. The correct definition of relativity is that
everything in the universe is in motion with respect to other things. That was
proclaimed by Heraclitus saying “No man ever steps in the same river twice.” The
motion of matter is perpetual, although it changes with each collision per the
Second Assumption of Science, causality (All effects have an infinite number of
material causes).]
