Watching the Construction of a New Wing by Jeffrey Michael Schmitz

Your 1st example. All he had to do was consider the tides as being Sun caused. Great strides in science follow slight changes of perspective as to what observations are part of the problem.

That, I maintain, is what i needed in this contest.

"... about 95% of the universe is believed to be dark matter and dark energy (dark meaning known unknowns) ...." I have suggested that dark matter has positive gravitational mass-energy and zero inertial mass-energy, while dark energy has negative gravitational mass-energy and zero inertial mass-energy, i.e. Einstein's equivalence principle is totally wrong for both dark matter and dark energy. If the preceding idea is wrong, then I personally would bet on MOND-chameleon particles. In any case, I say that Milgrom is the Kepler of contemporary cosmology -- BASED UPON THE EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE WHICH NOW EXISTS.

"Where Are the Dark Matter Particles?"

Dear Jeffrey Michael Scmitz

I invite you and every physicist to read my work "TIME ORIGIN,DEFINITION AND EMPIRICAL MEANING FOR PHYSICISTS, Héctor Daniel Gianni ,I'm not a physicist.

How people interested in "Time" could feel about related things to the subject.

1) Intellectuals interested in Time issues usually have a nice and creative wander for the unknown.

2) They usually enjoy this wander of their searches around it.

3) For millenniums this wander has been shared by a lot of creative people around the world.

4) What if suddenly, something considered quasi impossible to be found or discovered such as "Time" definition and experimental meaning confronts them?

5) Their reaction would be like, something unbelievable,... a kind of disappointment, probably interpreted as a loss of wander.....

6) ....worst than that, if we say that what was found or discovered wasn't a viable theory, but a proved fact.

7) Then it would become offensive to be part of the millenary problem solution, instead of being a reason for happiness and satisfaction.

8) The reader approach to the news would be paradoxically adverse.

9) Instead, I think it should be a nice welcome to discovery, to be received with opened arms and considered to be read with full attention.

11)Time "existence" is exclusive as a "measuring system", its physical existence can't be proved by science, as the "time system" is. Experimentally "time" is "movement", we can prove that, showing that with clocks we measure "constant and uniform" movement and not "the so called Time".

12)The original "time manuscript" has 23 pages, my manuscript in this contest has only 9 pages.

I share this brief with people interested in "time" and with physicists who have been in sore need of this issue for the last 50 or 60 years.

Dear Jeffrey Michael Schmitz,

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.

Dear Jeffrey,

FQXI Contests are first of all new ideas. You give important ideas and deep inference:

«The process of entropy does not need life, but life requires entropy. We can think of life as an intelligent system which enables lower energy macro ordered states that started at the moment the goal of reproduction was found.»

«...we are the true champions of entropy.Life itself is one of the most efficient agents of entropy.»

My high appreciation. I invite you to read and evaluate my ideas .

Yours faithfully,

Vladimir

Jeffrey, I want to add: the title of your essay is magnificent - the deepest constructive life dialectic!

Yours faithfully,

Vladimir

Hi Jeff,

This is a really good essay. I am very surprised it is not getting more attention.

Let me know if I got this right:

1. Mathematical models are incomplete. The map is not the territory!

2. The scientific method is incomplete because because it does not discuss how choices are made (see my essay).

3. We confuse intelligence with self-awareness and high rate data processing - intelligence is something separate. AI would be more accurately described as human augmentation (refer to Doug Engelbart at SRI).

Hey! Essay writers read and vote on this essay ... It is excellent!

Dear Jeffrey,

With great interest I read your essay, which of course is worthy of high praise.

You are one of the few who directly answers the question put by the contest.

You are absolutely right that «If entropy requires heat to flow from hot to cold then a refrigerator would seem an impossible device.» You correctly put questions and find answers «A refrigerator works because on the inside entropy of the refrigerator is reduced, but outside entropy is increased more, so the overall entropy of the universe is increased.»

In my essay , is shown that if you do not use the mystical properties of matter and fields, then there is every reason to believe that the universe is much simpler than it is thought to be.

There is only one essence and the only universal quantum parametric mechanism in the universe that operates on the principle of the classical heat pump in solitons (attractors), and that functions both at the micro- and macro-level of fractal matter. This mechanism allows using a small fraction of the external energy to control in many times big fraction the energy of the system.

This mechanism is also the answer to the questions of this competition.

However, everyone loves their fiction and "magic", built by their "gods", so very few are able to see the rational grain in other people's ideas because of their illusions.

Your essay allowed to consider us like-minded people.

You might also like reading my essay .

Kind regards,

Vladimir

Nice essay Schmitz,

Your ideas and thinking are excellent for eg...

Intelligence needs:

яВХяАаA goal.

яВХяАаA knowledge base.

яВХяАаA set of instructions, which do not contain the goal.

яВХяАаThe ability to rewrite those instructions to conform to the knowledge base to help achieve the

goal.

A Good idea, I fully agree with you, probably the Universe also had a mind and consciousness of its own ............

..................... At this point I want you to ask you to please have a look at my essay, where ...............reproduction of Galaxies in the Universe is described. Dynamic Universe Model is another mathematical model for Universe. Its mathematics show that the movement of masses will be having a purpose or goal, Different Galaxies will be born and die (quench) etc...just have a look at the essay... "Distances, Locations, Ages and Reproduction of Galaxies in our Dynamic Universe" where UGF (Universal Gravitational force) acting on each and every mass, will create a direction and purpose of movement.....

I think intension is inherited from Universe itself to all Biological systems

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...

Jeff,

Life is an intelligent system and is one of the most efficient agents of entropy. When you say intent and purpose are clear and plentiful at the small scale, do you mean the quantum scale? The metamathematics and thermodynamics concepts do come together in the explanation and pigs still can't fly.

Your musings do seem to reflect the inscrutability of the topic. I had trouble getting a handle on it.

Adjunct teaching is not rewarding financially but is as you note interacting with students. I did it part time in several subjects.

Regards,

Jim Hoover
