Essay Abstract

SPACE: WHERE IT ALL BEGINS ©2017 Geometry has provided many extremes of structures for occupied, and unoccupied, space. This essay merges thermodynamic and geometric concepts to generate an "activity" based on a dimensionless "surface-to-content-ratio" (area-to- volume). Such activities depend on radius, r, for spheres and edge, e, for regular tetrahedrons referenced to it's altitude, h, as equal to unity. Such thermodynamic principles apply to "all creatures, small and large" vis.: photons-electrons-protons- molecules-bacteria-animals-whales. Finding space to occupy and hold, time to exist, and fend off competing physical activity is a battle for all things!

In my original submission, I had a reference to the ~2005 Hitachi double slit experiment which was not an active link so I had to delete it.. However, I then subsequenctly found a working link reference to it @

Clearly, electrons possess a "property" to organize info into a recognizable form.. It is the same property that birds swarm, crowds gather, etc. and all integrate their actions without conflicts...in time. My clues to this process are too rudimentary to present at this time, but it's resolution after half a century remain my obsession.It is my remaining final goal fot life at age 89!

    Dear Ted,

    I found your essay, discoveries and derivations fascinating and revealing of some of the many hidden truths in nature. And that's without fully understanding it or it's implications!

    I find many of those truths exist in related geometries. Have you considered looking a little deeper into, or behind Pythagoras theorem, particularly regarding it's 3D dynamic equivalence? I did so with regard to the momentum distribution over the surface of a spinning sphere with respect to it's centre-of mass-rest frame. I found orthogonal sine/cosine curves emergent, each with maximum uncertainty at 90o, so tangent point interactions (momentum exchange) produce the complementarity of Diracs formula for QM. That seems too shocking a finding for science to contemplate!

    While struggling to assimilate your own work I kept finding what appeared to be important and very close agreement, links and analogies with mine. Were these my imagination?

    I see your essay has a derisory score. I think given humankinds current state it's understandable that essays identifying the most foundational and important advancements in understanding are eschewed or dismissed. (My own has had four 1's!) I have yours down for a high one. But more importantly I do hope you'll read mine carefully and consider the parallel discovery I've made about spheres, it's implications, and any correspondence with yours.

    Very best regards

      Dear Ted Erikson,

      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.

      Nice essay Erikson,

      Your ideas

      1. This essay merges thermodynamic and geometric concepts to generate an "activity" based on a dimensionless "surface-to-content-ratio" (area- to volume).

      2. Panpsychism*, as an ancient philosophy, suggests all things have awareness. An excellent review8 (The Stanford Encyclopedia) writes, "Broadly speaking, there are, at bottom, only two positions that can promise the desired integration: panpsychism and emergentism.

      Etc., are good.

      Though unrelated to the subject of your essay, I am proposing a fundamental property of Universe. It is reproduction of Galaxies in the Universe. The Universe behaves as though is had a mind for itself.

      As you are interested in fundamental questions, I request you to please have a look on my essay with a different type of fundamental ideology. 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

      Have a look at my essay on Dynamic Universe Model and its blog also where all my books and papers are available for free downloading...

      Hello Ted,

      Finding space to occupy and hold, time to exist, and fend off competing physical activity is a battle for all things! This is a most interesting adjunct to Darwin.

      You investigate some interesting numerology that is at least as fascinating as that of Pythagoras. Have you any insights into Planck Units? You may find my website interesting: http://www.digitalwavetheory.com/15_Planck_Units_and_Numerology.html

      Thanks for your most interesting underrated essay.

      Dear Sirs!

      Physics of Descartes, which existed prior to the physics of Newton returned as the New Cartesian Physic and promises to be a theory of everything. To tell you this good news I use «spam».

      New Cartesian Physic based on the identity of space and matter. It showed that the formula of mass-energy equivalence comes from the pressure of the Universe, the flow of force which on the corpuscle is equal to the product of Planck's constant to the speed of light.

      New Cartesian Physic has great potential for understanding the world. To show it, I ventured to give "materialistic explanations of the paranormal and supernatural" is the title of my essay.

      Visit my essay, you will find there the New Cartesian Physic and make a short entry: "I believe that space is a matter" I will answer you in return. Can put me 1.

      Sincerely,

      Dizhechko Boris
