Four Departures inMathematics and Physics
Get PDFMuch of Mathematics, and therefore Physics as well, have been limited by four rather consequential restrictions. Two of them are ancient taboos, one is an ancient and no longer felt as such bondage, and the fourth is a surprising omission in Algebra. The paper brings to the attention of those interested these four restrictions, as well as the fact that each of them has by now ways, even if hardly yet known ones, to overcome them
Heisenberg Uncertainty in Reduced Power Algebras
Get PDFThe Heisenberg uncertainty relation is known to be obtainable by a purely mathematical argument. Based on that fact, here it is shown that the Heisenberg uncertainty relation remains valid when Quantum Mechanics is re formulated within far wider frameworks of {\it scalars}, namely, within one or the other of the infinitely many {\it reduced power algebras} which can replace the usual real numbers , or complex numbers . A major advantage of such a re-formulation is, among others, the disappearance of the well known and hard to deal with problem of the so called "infinities in Physics". The use of reduced power algebras also opens up a foundational question about the role, and in fact, about the very meaning and existence, of fundamental constants in Physics, such as Planck's constant . A role, meaning, and existence which may, or on the contrary, may not be so objective as to be independent of the scalars used, be they the usual real numbers , complex numbers , or scalars given by any of the infinitely many reduced power algebras, algebras which can so easily be constructed and used
Where and How Do They Happen ?
Get PDFThis is a two part paper. The first part, written somewhat earlier, presented standard processes which cannot so easily be accommodated within what are presently considered as physical type realms. The second part further elaborates on that fact. In particular, it is argued that quantum superposition and entanglement may better be understood in extensions of what we usually consider as physical type realms, realms which, as it happens, have so far never been defined precisely enough

Get PDFСоединим факты Библии с научными данными. В данной работе представлена гипотеза о времени Славного Второго Пришествия Господа(критикующая спекуляции на тему конца света), вытекающая из попытки совмещения космологической шкалы времени с фактами Библии
C.G. Jung’s Synchronicity and Quantum Entanglement: Schrodinger’s Cat ‘Wanders’ Between Chromosomes
Get PDFOne of the most prospective directions of study of C.G. Jung’s synchronicity phenomenon is reviewed considering the latest achievements of modern science. The attention is focused mainly on the quantum entanglement and related phenomena – quantum coherence and quantum superposition. It is shown that the quantum non-locality capable of solving the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox represents one of the most adequate physical mechanisms in terms of conformity with the Jung’s synchronicity hypothesis. An attempt is made on psychophysiological substantiation of synchronicity within the context of molecular biology. An original concept is proposed, stating that biological molecules involved in cell division during mitosis and meiosis, particularly DNA may be considered material carriers of consciousness. This assumption may be formulated on the basis of phenomenology of Jung’s analytical psycholog
Zinātnes un reliģijas konceptu potenciālā konverģence jautājumā par cilvēces atbrīvošanos no slimībām nākotnē
Get PDFCilvēka slimību izcelsmi zinātne un reliģija lielā mērā izskaidro līdzīgi. Rekomendācijas par higiēnu un veselīgu dzīves veidu reliģijas kanonos un zinātnes atzinumos maz atšķiras. Veselības definīcija neprobežojas tikai ar slimību iztrūkumu vien, bet ietver arī mentālas, fiziskas un sociālas labklājības jēdzienu. Zinātnes atklājumi par slimību izcelsmi un to eradikācijas iespējām pamatojas ne tikai uz izziņas procesā iegūtiem faktiem, bet arī uz pētnieku saskari ar pārlaicīgo. Gan zinātne, gan reliģija uzsver cilvēka paša attieksmes pret slimībām svarīgumu. Medicīnas zinātne pilnveido vakcinācijas, attīsta genu terapiju un veic kontroli pār patogeno slimības izraisītāju izplatību un to izraisīto apdraudējumu cilvēkam. Zinātnes attīstība tuvojas reliģijas pasludinātajai paradīzei ar nemirstīga cilvēku, pilnīgi brīvu no slimībām. Pirmie soļi uz to ir efektīvi pretsāpju līdzekļi un paliatīvā terapija. Dabas likumi par paaudžu nomaiņu, ka cilvēka ķermenis nav nemirstīgs un tā funkcionēšanas laiks ir ierobežots, izslēdz pilnīgas visu slimību eradikācijas iespēju
Wealth Creation and Science Research : Science Research, the root of wealth in our Knowledge Society, is endangered
Get PDFTwo vastly dierent historical stages in wealth creation are the traditional one based on agriculture during past millennia, and the one based on science research in our present globalizing knowledge society. The dierences happen to be so considerable, and the emergence of the second stage relatively so recent, that the awareness of the full range of consequences regarding the proper pursuit of science research, which is the root of wealth in our knowledge society, is missing to an extent that may, even in the medium term, seriously endanger the sustainability of modern human society.
Here is presented a brief account of some of such dangers, following which a parable, entitled "Is it a mere story ?", can be found, a parable which, hopefully, need not become a reality as well
Generation of DNA Codes & the Hexagrams of I Ching from the Principle of Existence
Get PDFIn this short paper, the authors briefly discuss their preliminary thoughts on the coding of DNA and the hexagrams of I Ching based on the principle of existence. It is shown that one may mathematically generate the DNA codes from the principle of existence. It is further shown that one may also mathematically generate the hexagrams of Chinese I Ching from the principle of existence
Cracks of fundamental quantum physics
Get PDFThe fundaments of quantum physics are still not well established. This paper tries to find the cracks in these fundaments and suggests repair procedures. This leads to unconventional solutions and a new model of physics. As part of this enterprise an underpinning of the existence of strands is provided. Another innovation is the derivation of a curvature field from the superposition of all other fields. The most revolutionary introduction is the representation of dynamics by a sequence of separable Hilbert spaces. Together, this embodies a repair of fundaments that does not affect the building
Models of Psi Mediation: A Classical and Quantum Approach
Get PDFIn this chapter I address both classical and quantum mechanical modeling approaches to psi phenomena including those pertaining to the role of psi phenomena such as the psi-mediated instrumental response (PMIR) and relative need-serving qualities of psi, psychokinesis as a primary psi process, and psi as a product of evolution via Darwinian theory. In addition, I address classical models including electromagnetic models, energy field models, and the zero-point field model. I address the associations of psi phenomena with quantum theory, and new approaches to such phenomena via quantum mechanical modeling. Also included is an overview of fundamental quantum mechanical laws, principles, and issues in regards to psi such as the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, superposition, quantum computation, decoherence, entropy, information processing, wave function collapse, and the measurement problem. I elaborate on the essential role of quantum information theory in regards to psi phenomena, the view of computational living systems, the macroscopic challenge for quantum computation and psychical re-search, the quantum efficiency of psi, and the non-local communicative nature of psi. In addition, I address the part played by Nature in regards to the mediation of psi via my own hypo-thesis addressing Nature as an experient accessible universal information processing and storage system with features of four dimensionalism. I address geomagnetic entanglement and permanent and seemingly macroscopic entanglement in regards to psi. Importantly, I briefly call for a redefinition of precognition, that does not defy the principle of causality (arrow of time), as a result of experient access to Nature’s probabilistic computations in real-time (i.e. once we start to view Nature as a quantum computational system, or similar to the human brain e.g. in regards to predictive coding, we will begin to see that it may not be the “future” experients of precognition receive, but rather probability based on past and real-time events calculated by the system)
