Essay Abstract

The cosmic odyssey of matter describes a literal spatial journey that started with the big bang and continues through to the current state of the observed universe. Throughout this extended odyssey, particles of matter have wandered, gathered, and then connected, thereby assembling new formations of matter. This wander-gather-assemble (WGA) pattern broadly repeats across four stages in the universe's timeline: the big bang, stars, biospheres, and social organizations. The essential step in the WGA process is the assembly of precise formations of matter (PFMs), defined here as formations having precise configurations and precisely connected components. Over 13.8 billion years the systematic WGA process has assembled a progression of PFMs, from protons and neutrons, to chemical elements and compounds--and on Earth--organisms and social organizations. Thus, this essay identifies a basic property of ordinary matter (precision), and a long-term process (assembling), which together establish a fundamental relationship between the first particles to emerge from the big bang, the evolution of living organisms, and the emergence of the modern human world. In doing so, this essay attempts to provide additional context to humanity's place in the cosmos.

Dear Mr. Kneller

Big Bang theory is completely wrong. Try to understand my equation (17). There is a proton associated with the mathematical constant exp (2pi), which means it has always existed, exists and will exist.

Best regards,

Dear 27F Kneller,

Thank you for the nice essay on " Cosmology "

Your starting sentences and other observations are excellent, "The cosmic odyssey of matter describes a literal spatial journey that started with the big bang and continues through to the current state of the observed universe. Throughout this extended odyssey, particles of matter have wandered, gathered, and then connected, thereby assembling new formations of matter. This wander-gather-assemble (WGA) pattern broadly repeats across four stages in the universe's timeline: the big bang, stars, biospheres, and social organizations "

Probably you will have to consider changing the word Bigbang, as that model considers 40 percent of Galaxies which are redshifted, but there are 60 percent of other Galaxies which are blue shifted or quasars etc. If you consider all the picture will change, it will not be fully expanding model....

For your information Dynamic Universe model is totally based on experimental results. Here in Dynamic Universe Model Space is Space and time is time in cosmology level or in any level. In the classical general relativity, space and time are convertible in to each other.

Many papers and books on Dynamic Universe Model were published by the author on unsolved problems of present day Physics, for example 'Absolute Rest frame of reference is not necessary' (1994) , 'Multiple bending of light ray can create many images for one Galaxy: in our dynamic universe', About "SITA" simulations, 'Missing mass in Galaxy is NOT required', "New mathematics tensors without Differential and Integral equations", "Information, Reality and Relics of Cosmic Microwave Background", "Dynamic Universe Model explains the Discrepancies of Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry Observations.", in 2015 'Explaining Formation of Astronomical Jets Using Dynamic Universe Model, 'Explaining Pioneer anomaly', 'Explaining Near luminal velocities in Astronomical jets', 'Observation of super luminal neutrinos', 'Process of quenching in Galaxies due to formation of hole at the center of Galaxy, as its central densemass dries up', "Dynamic Universe Model Predicts the Trajectory of New Horizons Satellite Going to Pluto" etc., are some more papers from the Dynamic Universe model. Four Books also were published. Book1 shows Dynamic Universe Model is singularity free and body to collision free, Book 2, and Book 3 are explanation of equations of Dynamic Universe model. Book 4 deals about prediction and finding of Blue shifted Galaxies in the universe.

With axioms like... No Isotropy; No Homogeneity; No Space-time continuum; Non-uniform density of matter(Universe is lumpy); No singularities; No collisions between bodies; No Blackholes; No warm holes; No Bigbang; No repulsion between distant Galaxies; Non-empty Universe; No imaginary or negative time axis; No imaginary X, Y, Z axes; No differential and Integral Equations mathematically; No General Relativity and Model does not reduce to General Relativity on any condition; No Creation of matter like Bigbang or steady-state models; No many mini Bigbangs; No Missing Mass; No Dark matter; No Dark energy; No Bigbang generated CMB detected; No Multi-verses etc.

Many predictions of Dynamic Universe Model came true, like Blue shifted Galaxies and no dark matter. Dynamic Universe Model gave many results otherwise difficult to explain

Dear Mr. Kneller,

Please excuse me for I have no intention of disparaging in any way any part of your essay.

I merely wish to point out that "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) Physicist & Nobel Laureate.

Only nature could produce a reality so simple, a single cell amoeba could deal with it.

The real Universe must consist only of one unified visible infinite physical surface occurring in one infinite dimension, that am always illuminated by infinite non-surface light.

A more detailed explanation of natural reality can be found in my essay, SCORE ONE FOR SIMPLICITY. I do hope that you will read my essay and perhaps comment on its merit.

Hi Edward,

You left a message on my essay page. I thought I had already read and commented on yours, but apparently not. I will endeavour to reread your essay and give some feedback.

Hi Kneller

It was really heartening to read your account on WGA and PFM, especially since the stages described include social groups of ant colonies and humans. Coincidentally, my essay also mentions these two social groups, except that my essay focuses entirely on them and tends to ignores almost everything else. But even so, I think you cover more territory on ants than I did, since I never considered the possibility of their colonies coming together to form a larger multi-colony, which you address.

I thought I might have covered the area of human social groups slightly better since my essay dealt with them for the most part, but even there you cover territory that I did not address. For instance, I spent most of my essay modeling the working of the Constitutional nation state in depth, but you manage to address the domain of cities and the larger HSC in a broad fashion, both areas which I skipped. That's an impressive range of coverage in your essay.

On the whole, we have similar instincts, but differ on our areas of emphasis. All the best for the competition!

Regards, Willy

    Willy,

    Thanks for your comments. We definitely had some overlap. Though you covered the human structures in much more detail. I have left additional comments on your essay page.

    Very interesting your WGA framework developing several levels of assembly... and it fits very well imy proposal of the SCALE LANDSCAPES of the Universe:

    I also refer to it in my essay, with the proposal of the Fractal, Emergent and Scale Relativity that if one day it is definitively accepted (demonstrated and verified) by the "scientific community", could completely revolutionize the cosmological physics, assuming a jump as important as was Theory of Relativity (Special and General) a century ago.

    Dear Edward

    I thank you for having commented my essay because otherwise I would probably not see your excepcional essay!

    We both scoped the same property of matter. You propose a systematization of the process of the evolution of the organization of the matter that clarifies it and helps in the analysis. I see it in a more continuous way, a permanent tendency for getting connected; and I do not exclude any force from the process, from gravity to social feelings, all forming structures with a degree of precision that is variable but if you scale the structures in correspondence with the range of action of the forces, that variability is not so great - so I think. But that is just my point of view, I am not thinking that is better than yours. Undoubtedly your approach is rich and enlightening. One of the essays that interested me the most so far.

    Regards

    Alfredo

      Alfredo,

      Thank you for your comments. You have summarized the key elements of my essay very well.

      Regards, Ed

      Today is the 1 Apr 2017.

      which is true ? The space expands out of nothing, or the atoms are shrinking?

      Why should we accept the big bang theory and the space expansion if no one is able to prove that the atoms do not change their size (the units of measure)? In fact this is impossible to do because the atoms as they were yesterday can not be used in the lab to compare with themselves as they are now.

      Alfredo, in his essay on this contest made a mention to that possibility that no one appears to have noticed. Alf (*) already had proved that the red-shifted light - the imprints left in space by the atoms in the past - corresponds to the light emitted by larger atoms. How did it? Contrasting a space based referential, constant, against the atomic referential he showed that the most basic equations of physics describe a varying atom - (shrinking).

      If you do believe in the space expansion then you have rejected the rationalist position, the very roots of science cherished by all the greats scientists of the past.

      (*) A self-similar model of the Universe unveils the nature of dark energy (pdf)

      To all and specially to Alf: Pardon me for the propaganda but no other way is available when the peer reviewer system fails to accept it for review. Judge by yourselves.

      about the article:

      IMO your article is OK, except for the BBT misunderstanding that is not your fault. The graphs are WP log-log probably characteristic of a power law, that I suspect that is the consequence of the struggle for resources.

        Helder,

        Thank you for reading my essay. Yes, the graphs are characteristic of a power law and the struggle for material and energy resources.

        Regards, Ed Kneller

        Dear Ed Keller

        You say "This wander-gather-assemble (WGA) pattern broadly repeats across four stages in the universe's timeline: the big bang, stars, biospheres, and social organizations. The essential step in the WGA process is the assembly of precise formations of matter (PFMs), defined here as formations having precise configurations and precisely connected components."

        I agree very much with this and with your emphasis on distinct components, precise connections, and precise configuration. This is what I characterise as modular hierarchical structures in my own essay, which is what is required to underlie genuine complexity (as opposed to say sandpiles or the kinds of patterns generated by the reaction diffusion equation, which is just the foothills of true complexity).

        So our essays are complementary and in essential agreement.

        Regards

        (I am in awe of carrier aviators and test pilots. In another life I would have loved to have gone there)

        Prof. Ellis,

        Thank you very much for taking the time to review and comment on my essay.

        Piloting is like any other profession - it all depends on training and building on the experiences of the people who went before you.

        Regards, Ed Kneller

        Dear Edward Kneller,

        I make the words of Prof. Ellis mine. But I would like to to add that you actually uncover a very interesting complexity relation between all scales. It would be interesting to figure out if there is any relation to other scale relations, for example, Kolmogorov microscales.

        Another very interesting thing is to estimate the number of civilizations in our galaxy and the rate of how many of them appear along the eras. Do you think that is possible?
