Dear Vladimir, You wrote a good philosophical the review in the style of the essay.

I've been looking for in philosophy, the answer to the question: "What is the matter?" and not found. The only thing she stubbornly repeated, matter exists in space and in time. At some point I suddenly realized that this is a false statement. It would be correct to say that matter creates space and time. I think it would be a great addition to your essay. I will give you a high ball, when i learn to do it accurately

    Dear Boris,

    Many thanks for your insightful comments. I agree: «It would be correct to say that matter creates space and time.» ... Our task is only to establish the ontological structure of matter, then, accordingly, the ontological structure of space (the ontological space) and its geometry, and then - the nature of time. I'm starting to read your essay with great interest.

    Sincerely, Vladimir

    Vladimir,

    Almost breathlessly packed with ideas and information, quoting philosophies of old that should replace a lot of current thinking. Physical things alone do not render understanding. "Today we demand of physics some understanding of existence itself."

    "Mattersoul" truly brings the mindless math laws and "actual entities" together into goals giving meaning to life. That is really a difficult concept to bring together. I pondered for days trying and am not satisfied with my effort. You parade much thinking before the reader -- ideas that lend wisdom.

    I like Whitehead's thought that the "actual world is a process which is the becoming of actual entities." Concrescence is profound in the human thought of the embryo coming together in a seemingly miraculous process of human birth.There is the "generation of individual urgent entities, each having absolute consciousness," and Florensky's "the more solid any system of thought is the more specific is determination of the space as the kernel of this system."

    I make a similar metaphoric use of the human fetus and theories about the growth of the early universe modeled in similar amniotic fluid.

    Hope you can check out my essay.

    Regards,

      Jim,

      Many thanks for your insightful comments. Indeed, way out of the contemporary "crisis of understanding" in basic science give us an idea of the outstanding mathematician and philosopher Alfred Whitehead Norton and philosopher Pavel Florensky. Today we need a deeper look at the matter as the eternal process of generation of the material - ideal structures, as "nurse", "godmother" (Plato). Only then we will understand the "soul of matter", including "atom", will understand the direction and purpose of the process of generation of structures.

      I enjoy getting to read your essay.

      Regards,

      Vladimir

      You are welcome Mr Rogozhin,

      I agree totally.The unification at all scales after all is a foundamental.We imrpove, optimise,continue the road of complexification of matter, mind, body soul.Like a general harmonious imrpovement.In this line of reasoning, the bad, the evil is purely dedicated to disappear in time space evolution.I beleive that God is near us with this gravitational aether produced by the central cosmological singularity.The gravitational sphere produced by the cntral Sphere Inside the sphere.It is the meaning of my equation E=m(b)c²+m(nb)l² I have simply inserted this matter not baryonic cold the dzark matter with l their linear velocity.My second equation which must be irmpoved can show some proportions with the spherical volumes of motions.That is why th biggest BH produces the speedest spherons.Particles of gravitation.I consider that a photon is a spheron even coded by this cold gravity.Like our standard model at all scales encircled by this gravitation.I have so inserted quantum BHs withn forces stronger than our nuclear gluonic forces and also spherons encoded them with forces weakeer than electromagnetism and photons.It is paradoxal because this force is the weakest but the strongest also.Now the relevance is that we have a road towards this entire infinite entropy and that we can break our special relativity with spherons.A photon cannot, a spheron yes because a spheron is nor baryonic nor relativistic.Of course technologically speaking it becomes difficult to check it, this quantum gravitation.But it is possible, thjisz zero absolute and this gravity are more than we can imagine.We are still youngs.We utilise only at this moment the thermodynamical and electromagnetic technologies.We are at doors of a revolutionary sciences.We can do it :) check this gravitation and break c.Our personall quantum cnetral sphere, our singularities turn around this cosm singularity .....we are babies in evolution :) thanks for sharing your ideas

      all the best from Belgium

      Dear Vladimir - although I have a deep appreciation of music and the importance of religious feeling, and of course visual arts (since I am an artist), philosophy eluded me. I feel its importance the lure of a holistic all-encompassing meaning, or lack therof (as in certain modern philosophies). For all that I read every word of your essay and felt as if I was riding the raft in the poem, hearing the song of Yury Loza ( your reference 30) through an enchanted sea of words and ideas. I could grasp some concepts that are of basic importance in my own physiical model of the Universe such as points to vectors - the evolution of energy and matter in a space with no time dimension. As you know from my essay as a physicist I am wary of introducing the observer ie consciousness when formulating mechanistic physics. And as you and Max Planck show science complements religion (poetry, music ...) Thank you for reminding us there is a world beyond dry equations and materialistic effects and ideas

      Vladimir

        Dear Vladimir,

        Thank you very much for your comment. Quite right, philosophy makes it possible to "grab" "a holistic all-encompassing meaning". The painter's view does the same and represents this integrity in all colors on the canvas. Science and art, science and philosophy - all together create a single eidos of the world as a whole, filled with the meanings of the "LifeWorld" (E. Husserl). It's very cool that the FQXi Contests give an opportunity to conduct an interested dialogue on the fundamental questions of modern science.

        Successes, Vladimir

        Indeed, without Philosophy, the "mother of all sciences", a crisis of understanding, "trouble with physics" can not be overcome. Physicists should always remember the philosophical covenants of A. Einstein: "At the present time, a physicist has to deal with philosophic problems to a much greater extent than physicists of the previous generations. Physicists forced to that the difficulties of their own science", and J. A. Wheeler "Philosophy is too important to be left to the philosophers". Any physical theory which claims to be a fundamental, must have "clear and distinct"(Descartes) ontological justification.Success in the Сontest and in creativity! Sincerely, Vladimir

        Yes, Jim, you are absolutely right. Pavel Florensky paid special attention to the morphology of the space-time of primitive cultures, Antiquity and the Middle Ages. I believe that the idea of "ProstranstvoPonimanie"/"SpaceUnderstanding" is one of the main ideas. It gives a "push" to the search for a new ontology of space.

        December 10, 2013 in Sergiev Posad, the memorial sign "Victims of the faith in Christ in the years of persecutions and repressions of the 20th century" was established by the Foundation of Pavel Florensky. The opening of the sign was timed to the memorable date - the 75th anniversary of the execution and martyrdom of Pavel Florensky. Yours faithfully, Vladimir

        Vladimir,

        Thanks for checking out my essay. There are not very many forums to share our attempts to discover truth and meaning, and to air our own thrusts at truth. Do you have an interest in the mystery of dark matter as well? There are a number of theories paraded around, even in our cache of essays here. My speculation on anapole-like particles tried to ascribe special properties to interacting physical forces in creating dark matter. Don't know if it would bear up under more scrutiny or not, just speculation.

        Any thoughts.

        Jim
