Essay Abstract

Herein the simple analysis of the basic transformation equations reveals that the idea of motion transformations is the foundation of the laws of nature and such that the idea of the arbitrary space-time transformations is in fact only an excursion. Herein it is emphasized that the mass and energy variables are substituted into the equations, instead of the space and time variables, precisely because what is fundamentally and appropriately considered in physics is purely the motion transformation and its result. And herein presented are the kinematical formula for the creation process due to gravity and the kinematical origin of gravity.

Like some of you, I am also suggesting a paradigm shift. My main idea is simply that we can understand our maths in physics better if we use the classical idea of motion transformations and be less focused on Einstein's idea of arbitrary space-time transformations.

The transformation equations are the foundation of the laws of nature. The laws of nature are laws of motion. Our physics equations are pretty much equations of motion.

If we consider that in our transformation equations we actually remove the space and time variables and substitute other variables to obtain insights into the physics of things, we should have the more successful interpretations of our maths in physics.

Einstein himself substituted the mass variables into the transformation equations and got his successful interpretation of the famed E=mc2. But Einstein sent us into an excursion of the crappy idea of arbitrary space-time transformations. It has been costly. It has gotta end.

I think we should do a paradigm shift and go to the extensions of the classical idea of motion transformations.

    Re,

    An interesting read. I tend to agree that the forces of nature are the result of transforms. Of course, determining those transforms is the problem. At least motion and displacement are things that we can measure and observe.

    I'm not familiar with the Genesis tensor that you mentioned. Does it maintain Lorentz Invariance? I at first misread part of the work to think that you had written a (c^2)(v^2) (c^4) term. Sometimes I see what I want to see.

    Best Regards and Good Luck,

      Gary,

      The transformation factor for the genesis formula is (1-v/c)(1-v/c)-1 before the approximation on the reciprocal. Multiplying reciprocals is equal to 1, suggesting that the (1-v2/c2) factor presents full invariance.

      The Lorentz factor is the square root of the transformation factor for the genesis formula. The square root of 1 is 1, by which we say "Lorentz invariance."

      So, yes and no. I hope you follow.

      Regards.

      Dear Sir,

      We agree that the evolutionary laws of Nature have six fundamental aspects. However, time is not a dimension in the same sense as the other three space dimensions, which are invariant under mutual transformation. We can exchange any of the space dimensions with any other without disturbing the structure, i.e., the interface between the external relational space with the internal structural space. But such transformation is not possible with time. Thus, we describe these as: being (situation leading to its creation; or as you put it, motion - the substance of existence), becoming (its creation itself; or as you put it, time), growth (due to addition of other molecules, which, along with the two other factors following, can be in the three spatial dimensions), transformation (as a result), transmutation (due to the same effect - incompatible addition), destruction (change of form as a consequence; or as you put it, duration - the instance of existence). The motion transformations are perpetual (due to inertia) and deterministic processes. The duration transformations are action induced by the freewill of a conscious agent.

      The transformations can be spatial or temporal or both. All transformations require energy and based on the quantum and nature of energy applied, they move at different velocities. However, your transformation equations consider each against the speed of light. We use the word speed consciously, because the velocity of light changes according to the density of the medium and there is no true vacuum. Thus, these transformation equations are applicable only to the quantum particles. Yet, you have given classical descriptions using these equations. For example, in the Galilean transformation, you have substituted t with x/c without defining c, whereas you say that γ is the transformation factor thereby c as the speed of light. You have used the factors v and c differently in your example of firing the bullet. This is confusing.

      In your bullet example, the bullet along with the Gun was relatively at rest in the airplane, which was moving at 500 mph. This is the initial velocity. But once it is fired at the rate of 700 mph, the force applied to it ceases and after initial ejection, it would move due to inertia at the same rate of 700 mph, just like Maxwell predicted for light. When a fast bowler runs before delivering a cricket ball, his speed is not added to the ball's speed - the running conditions his body to apply more energy, which determines the speed of the ball at the moment of ejection. In your example, unlike the player, the gun was relatively at rest inside the plane. How can you add the velocities? In that case, why not consider the motion relative to Sun or the galaxy? In fact, this is a deficiency in Newton's second law.

      In your example, you have quoted c = 500 mph. But earlier you have said t = x/c = x/500mph. Do you mean to say, this should be the new unit of time? In that case, according to your earlier statement "the threshold velocity c is any appropriate velocity that is not necessarily the velocity of light", t can have any value. Then how do you compare time between two systems?

      In your example, the initial velocity u' = the "velocity of the airplane relative to the ground", which you subsequently say as 500 mph. Since you say that c = 500 mph and v is 700 mph, your equation: u' = u (1-v/c) gives the value of u = 500/(1-700/500) mph = 500/(-2/5) = -1250 mph. But you have given the final velocity u = 1200 mph. How do you reconcile this? Since your subsequent explanations are based on these, we need not comment on that.

      Request please take these comments in a positive spirit and clarify the doubts of lesser mortals like us.

      Folks, this is one of those occasions when "silence is golden". But complete silence would be unkind, considering that the unfair take-down made me smile. So, let me say that I have carefully studied the ideas covered in my essay. I think the FQXi community deserves a well-written essay. That is why I try to carefully write what is appropriately foundational. . .

      More...

        Joe, if you can edit your entries here, you must be doing real well. And I can only congratulate you. But here's according to your suggestion regarding the url.

        The following links to a page that contains a brief explanation regarding the main ideas in my book/eBook : A Summary of the Propositions of Kinematic Relativity.

        The page also contains answers for questions you may have regarding my FQXi essay.

        -

        On the commerce thing, basudeba, those who submitted an FQXi essay are very likely in here for the money. And most of us are in here to promote our ideas.

        You don't have to buy anything at my website. The postings there are essentially FYI and mostly for free; and they are pretty much in support of my submitted essay.

        As for the reply you want, I deemed it polite to simply ignore your rhetorical question regarding the Galilean transformation that I explained in my essay. Please try to remember the purpose of why we do the approximations in the calculus of our physics.

        -

        Please remember that the great scientists (Galilei, Newton, Lorentz, Einstein, and others) deeply considered the transformation equations - i.e., the Galilean 1-d, the Lorentz 2-d, and now the 3-d transformation of which I think I am the first to have proponed with a deeper focus and interpretation in relation to the suggestion of a mathematical formula for the genesis of the cosmos.

        Anybody who has got sense understands that the basic transformation equations are principal in our interpretations of the laws of nature.

        -

        The transformation equations may look simple. But, hey, even the great basudeba missed the necessary approximation.

        -

        Although some are here to make an honest offering at the altar in the temple of knowledge, don't let's make any pretense of the sort of indignation that some here try to bore us with.

        Enjoy!

        I guess I must do it for those who asked the questions.

        Computing for the unprimed in the 1-d Galilean transformation, we have the equations x=x'/(1-v/c) or t=t'/(1-v/c), or simply t=t'. Since the classical scientists consider space and time as non-transforming absolutes and since they consider the motion or velocity transformations, the space or time variables are replaced with the velocity variables u' and u that represent the differing velocities as viewed in the primed and unprimed frames of reference. The u' is the initial velocity that is equal to the velocity c - which is any velocity considered; and v is the added velocity.

        The c variable basically represents the reference value for the velocity transformation; the c variable is the common denominator for the velocity addition according to the transformation factor (1-v/c), which is (c/c-v/c). And so, as suggested by the Galilean transformation factor, the c variable is any velocity considered and that becomes the reference for the velocity transformation on account of the added velocity v.

        In the 2-d Lorentz transformation, the c variable represents the velocity of light - not just any velocity. And according to Maxwell the velocity of light c remains the same in all frames of reference. So, in the Lorentz transformations the Galilean idea of velocity transformations is no longer valid. The u' and u variables that are respectively used to represent the initial and resultant velocities as accounted by the Galilean transformation are therefore no longer generally definitive.

        Einstein apparently discovered that the mass variables m and m' may be admitted by substitution into the transformations equation, instead of the u and u' variables. The substitution indicated that other physical transformations occur instead of the velocity transformations. And, notably, a tacit premise is that space and time are not transformed as suggested by the fact that the space and time variables are removed and replaced by the mass variables. The equations show that the mass phenomenon and the electromagnetic phenomenon are involved in the transformations and not space or time.

        We know that electromagnetic waves are forms of motion. And the transformation factor indicates that mass is clearly expressed in terms of c2/c2 which is an expression that involves the electromagnetic phenomenon. I have argued that both the mass phenomenon and the electromagnetic phenomenon are constructs of motion. This is why I argue that only the motion transformation is valid and that the arbitrary space and time transformations of Einstein's theory of relativity is invalid.

        The special relativity theory is apparently alright because it is mainly about the motion transformations that involve the mass phenomenon and the electromagnetic phenomenon. But general relativity that purports the 'motion' and transformations of space and time is illogical.

        The motion transformation is true in the case of the Galilean velocity transformations. The motion transformation is also true in the case of the Lorentz transformations by which we have special relativity as accorded by the 'relativistic' mass formula and Einstein's mass-energy relation expressed by the famed formula. So, we have two points of proof (the Galilei-Newton transformations and the Lorentz-Einstein transformations) for motion transformation.

        However, Einstein's general relativity - i.e., the relativity of the purported motion of space, the relativity of the purported motion of time, and the relativity of the motion of motion - is one grand gift of confusion that Einstein left us with.

        I think the valid formulations may all be interpreted in terms of the transformations of motion. If we morefully embrace the fact that in the first place the defining premise is that of the consideration for the motion transformations, which is why in the transformation equations the space and time variables are removed and replaced with the variables (e.g., u, u', m, m', E, E') that represent motion constructs, I am convinced that we will find that it is all about motion transformations. I am convinced that we will find that our physics is all about motion transformations if we will seriously consider motion transformations in the strict sense.

        I have detailed my explanations regarding the 1-d, 2-d, and 3-d transformations that occur in nature. You can find my explanations in my book/ebook, my website, and in my FQXi essay. However, a radical paradigm shift is necessary in order to allow the appropriate understanding of the new scientific views that I propone.

        All that's needed is a formal appreciation of the idea of simply the motion transformations - the pure kinematic relativity.

        I don't know if it will happen with the help of FQXi. I doubt if the reputable minds of FQXi (e.g., Tegmark, Aguirre, Hawking, Guth, Smolin, Weinberg, and etc.) ever had a glimpse of my work. It seems that they listen ONLY to what they themselves are saying.

        It seems that only a few here read my book/ebook and the other things that I have written. But, I'm hoping for the best.

        Regards.

        Not one criticism regarding the GENESIS FORMULA! The scientific community remains in stunned silence! :-) Why?

        Where is Smolin, Susskind, Rees, Guth, Velinkin, Linde, Penrose, Hawking, Tegmark, Aguirre, and the whole gang?

        Are they so high up the altar in the temple of knowledge that they cannot consider answering the challenge regarding the GENESIS FORMULA?

        The math is simple. The interpretation and premise given are straightforward. The suggestions from the GENESIS FORMULA regarding the structure of the cosmos and the nature and origin of gravity are clear.

        Just say what's wrong or right about the GENESIS FORMULA and why.

        Come on, gang! It's the least you could do for those who look up to you...

        Hello Castel,

        Well done for presenting your perspective. I agree that transformation equations have a lot of light to shed on our physics so your attempt is commendable.

        I don't quite agree with the aspect where you said that regarding Doppler frequency shifts of light, Lorentz transformations are more appropriate than Galilean. Velocities of source and observer can be removed or added to that of light and used to obtain the frequency shift. In Lorentz transformations velocity, v of source or observer when added to that of light remains c, i.e. v c = c.

        You may want to see opposing ideas that give space a role to play in motion, even though this is different from your views.

        Wishing you all the best in this competition.

        Regards,

        Akinbo

        *Please don't be discouraged if the high priests don't interact as you want. Forge ahead and refine your theory as appropriate.

          Akinbo,

          Thanks for the comments.

          But, your second paragraph is problematic. You seem to have failed to notice the differences in the appropriate applications of the 1-d Galilean transformation, the 2-d Lorentz transformation, and the 3-d Castel transformation equations. I suggest you recheck their appropriate applications.

          As for space, I like keeping it simple. Space simply gets occupied. Getting occupied is its sole function. Basic kinematics reveals that motions move motions, and the objects in motion (i.e., mass) are themselves kinetic constructs. Motions occur on the substance that occupies space. There is no such thing as the motion of space. The idea of the relative motion of space is an illusion - an ill usage and vision.

          I wish you well.

          Castel

          Thanks, Vladimir.

          I am glad that you read my stuff in spite of the language barrier.

          My website actually gets plenty of traffic from Russia, Asia, and Western and Eastern Europe, sometimes more visitors than from North America. I am amazed at the intellectual excitement that EurAsians exhibit.

          Thanks again.

          Dear Rafael,

          I'm sure you'll find little specific comment and zero falsification of the consistent model you well describe. I agree the one comment offered, from Akinbo, was wrong. The Lorentz Factor is indeed both required and logically derivable. I've shown how it describes the physical implementation of the local propagation limit c as a non-linear optic effect. Optical breakdown wavelength limit gamma.

          Of course none of that is surprising as you'll recall our past close agreement. I also no longer find it surprising that those schooled in present assumptions are entirely unequipped to perceive the simple solution hiding before our eyes. As my '2020 Vision' essay from 2010-11, I estimate another 5 years of intellectual evolution at least.

          I consider your essay is an admirable and valuable attempt to explain in clear English and mathematics how an automobile works to a tribe who have learned only Swahili and can't even conceive of other languages let alone automobiles! (Their witchdoctors still insist there's only one possible valid language, even here!)

          Your 1.8 score is a travesty, only measuring the understanding of the tribe. I suspect we must work long term on translation more than science! Top marks on the way to help. I hope you'll read and find mine equally consistent, though I progress to the 'unification' implications of the same model, and the mathematical aspects helping to confound mainstream understanding.

          Well done again, keep up the good work, and I hope your essay continues rising.

          Very best wishes,

          Peter
