Essay Abstract

Discussion about instantaneousness interaction transfer goes back to the times of Descartes. In the beginning of the 21st century, this issue switched from theoretical field into experimental.

Author Bio

Vad Bobrovskiy is a researcher in the Distant School Cosmic-Meteo-Tectonics. Passionate about new science frontiers since the University and postgraduating, Vad focuses on the achievements of nonlocal statistical mechanics theory by Vlasov and Vlasov-Everett Many-world conception.

Much has been written through the Contest that the math models are wrong since there is difference between what the models predict and what we observe. Both cosmology theories, including Big Bang, and quantum mechanics and other branches of science are full of "slippery terms". But rather than pursuing down and deeper a matter of facts, the essay has humble task to show that this is how a science develops by the way of errors, intuition, observation and implementation.

Astronomers observe unique structures, indeed, but they use classical mathematics in the Newtonian unitary closed universe, consisting of as little as two locally interacting objects (mass, ...). That's why such unique structures are mystic phenomena.

19, 20, 21 centuries have brought to us the evidences that denial of Cartesian model of dual (expanded-vortex) universe, forces scientists to use fictitious values (variables, dark conceptions...) in the mathematical and physical models which are constructed under the stipulation that our "unique" universe is closed single system with only two interacting objects. The answer to the question of the Contest "Trick or Truth?" is positive. The truth of our open universe lies behind tricks of our mathematics.

Development of the universe is permanent evolution process. According to the famous Goedel's theorem, if there is happen to be going the description of open system and if the description is interrupted by dot, then the system would lose its openness and become close at once. In another words, to describe open and developing system it is used to be the increasing number of bit of information.

Dear Vad,

I think Newton was wrong about abstract gravity; Einstein was wrong about abstract space/time, and Hawking was wrong about the explosive capability of NOTHING.

All I ask is that you give my essay WHY THE REAL UNIVERSE IS NOT MATHEMATICAL a fair reading and that you allow me to answer any objections you may leave in my comment box about it.

Dear Vad,

As I was browsing through the bottom essays of this context I found yours very relevant and exciting. It is difficult not to agree that there are big unsolved (dark!) problems in cosmology and may be our starting point to tackle them is not appropriate. It turns out that the 2010 Field medalist Cédrick Villanni (present director of the Poincaré's Institute in Paris) considers Vlasov-Poisson equation (related to Landau damping in his work) as an angular stone of the understanding of astrophysics.

Can you explain more or give references about why the multiverse has to do with Vlasov's work.

Thanks and all the best.

Michel

Dear Michel,

The Vlasov equation (1938) was called collisionless Boltzman equation and was used for plasma physics research. Since Vlasov's approach to study plasma had aroused strong reaction by physicist-theorists, now we know well Landau damping and collisionless Boltzman equation. Whole things including Nonlocal Statistical Mechanics (NSM), Vlasov did after 1944, are still unknown [1950, 1966, 1978] for physicists and mathematicians. Vlasov's NSM does not perform any collective of particles (electrons or atomic nuclei, planets or Galaxies - any collective of particles) like two interacting objects. NSM performs collective of particles interacting by nonlocal means - "all objects of a system interact with all objects of this and other systems". Nonlocal means without interaction. Vlasov applied energy of interaction instead of interaction force.

There is miscomprehension between Vlasov and collisionless concept. The latter is used to be as rarefied (low-density) substance, where particles are so far from each other that particles cannot interact by collision. Vlasov's approach says that it does not matter how tough the volume is packed by the particles, interaction goes between all particles. The Vlasov equation has another form where interaction energy K(r-r') is under the integral sign. The interaction energy is between test corpuscle and the rest of particles of the collective (open system). That is the point. That is the difference between 19th-century approach and 20th-century one.

Dear Vad,

Your essay is very good. It deserves high score. There is a wide range of problems that you have explained. I am particularly interesting in part, related to self-organization, because I think it is neglected in modern science. I suggest that you, along with Vlasov use and papers of RuÄ'er BoÅ¡ković, you may reach extraordinary insights. I'm in my essay made the original hypotheses that have led to significant prediction. I would be grateful if you could comment on the results of my essay.

Regards,

Branko

Hello Vad,

This essay was a bit hard to read in places, which I expect is because English is not your first language. I have mixed feelings about the content. There is some value in what is presented, but one has to know a little about your subject area to find it. I think you are better at complaining about what is wrong or missing from the conventional interpretation in Physics, and you seem less proficient at explaining how the better ideas of Vlasov and others are superior. This paper was better than the average, and the work you highlight deserves some attention, so I raised your score somewhat.

All the Best,

Jonathan
