Dear Professor Maxim Yu. Khlopov:

Thank you very much for your new clear view of "cosmoparticle physics". I like to make some remarks, between apostrophes is your text:

"The theory of the Big Bang Universe is now supplemented by at least four additional elements - inflation, baryosynthesis, non-baryonic dark matter and dark energy, based on physical laws predicted by the theory of elementary particles which, however, have not been experimentally verified." I fully agree with this. In my essay, I only use the BB as a reference for a "beginning" that is in fact only a point on a sinusoid, and the inflation as a possible explanation of the emergence of a "reality" as we are experiencing.

"Why the evolution in causally disconnected regions is identical? It suggests that in the past there was a phase of superluminal (in the simplest case of exponential) expansion in the early Universe." The "casually disconnected regions" are in my perception causally CONNECTED through their emergence from the "Pre Planck Area". As you yourself are searching for a unification of the most stable particle and cosmology, I am trying to make a unification of your "cosmoparticle physics (experienced reality) and its source (the last turtle...?).

"Cosmoparticle physics reproduces on the largest and smallest scales the fundamental relationship between the microscopic and macroscopic descriptions, typical for theoretical physics. It offers a new level of this relationship, which, for example, takes place between thermodynamics and atomic physics, hydrodynamics and kinetics" IF you could find a way to experimentally prove this it would be a great advance in the understanding of our reality.

I really thank you for the translation of Fock :"The equations of theoretical physics are never, and cannot be, absolutely accurate: when they are derived, one or other secondary factors are always neglected." and "Thus, generalization of physical theories is associated not only with the acquisition of new concepts but also with the abandonment of the old ones". You are concluding:"We wanted to show that every physical theory, every physical concept, is essentially only approximate.". This is the reason that I would be very happy if you could read, leave a comment and eventually rate my contribution "Foundational Quantum Reality Loops". The idea is under construction but I think it gives already some solutions.

Thank you for a thought-provoking essay, I appreciated it highly.

Best regards

    Dear Maxim,

    Thanks for visiting my Essay page.

    Your wrote a very interesting and remarkable Essay. I particularly appreciated it because the idea that physical laws governing the micro-world could be the same governing the macro-world was the reason because I decided to become a researcher when I was younger. Thus, I find that your analysis on the fundamental relationship between foundations of cosmology and particle physics is strictly connected with my youth's idea. This is summarized by the Ouroboros problem that "Physical basis of modern cosmology is based on predictions of the theory of elementary particles, which, in turn, look to cosmology for their test".

    Fock statement that "generalization of physical theories is associated not only with the acquisition of new concepts, but also with the abandonment of the old ones" is surely correct. I think that its second part on "the abandonment of the old ones" is the most difficult to achieve in the current status of the scientific community, because there is too much conservatism.

    In any case, you wrote a nice and entertaining Essay, deserving my highest score.

    Good luck in the Contest.

    Cheers, Ch.

    Dear Khlopov.

    I had once a Dream about Ouroborus, as a giant slowly rotating ring made of Diamonds within Diamonds. I was one of those Diamonds, and the light shined on me for a while, when the giant Wheel rotated, I was 'living'. When I came out of the light I 'died'. The light was 'ethernal', as I understood it, also the Ouroborus Wheel. It tells something about what is time, I Think, a marvellous, glorius Dream.

    I also am a part of some simulations, where we see the same repeats again and again in a topological way. There are clearly the same Laws working at all scales of 'reality'. Fascinating.

    Thanks.

    I commented earlier too, but my comment vanished somewhere. It was a longer comment, but universe tell me to stop, maybe. I cannot repeat it.

      Dear Wilhelmus,

      Thank you for interest to my essay. In my books "Cosmoparticle physics" (World Scientific, 1999) and "Fundamentals of Cosmic particle physiocs" (CISP-Springer, 2012) I use the term world system as unfying basis for particle physics and cosmology. It would be interesting to find correspondence between our ideas.

      With the best regards

        Hi Maxim,

        I found it a very thought provoking article revisiting the evergreen topic on a fundamental question. You've touched just the right chord!

        Thus, I have the following to say:

        1. This is the time in the history of physics that we are realizing the intimate connections of the smallest with the largest, with our mathematical and observational tools. Cosmology and particle physics at two apparent extremes seem to merge.

        You have articulated the things so well, especially when you quote Fock, "the equations of theoretical physics are never, and cannot be, absolutely accurate..." I often feel the same way, and wish to add that these are precisely those "white spots" where our ignorance lies, and where we crave for the "beyond standard approach". (I think an approach is "standard" just because it is followed by many scientists who think alike, and not exactly because it closer to the truth). You have correctly mentioned the course of history taking turn and twists. New ideas replacing the old, and often the vice versa in the garb of the newer ones.

        2. Thus, would you agree if I say that Fock's viewpoint shows that the quest for so-called "objectivity" in physics is like a wild-goose-chase? The scientific objectivity is nothing more than achieving an agreement of opinions based on our experiments and aggregate of knowledge that we can commonly perceive, carry out, analyse and settle down to conclusions. Could it be possible just due to our common evolution and acquired faculty of brain?

          Dear Murli,

          Thank you for your kind interest to my essay and comments. However, on my opinion, "objectivity" in physics is determined by Fock's well defined "physical rigor", which provides adequate treatment of reality.

          Agreed. The physical rigour is a candid attempt to bring in the new (or sometimes, but not necessarily, the historically old) concepts, as well as the abandonment of the existing ideas. This detachment is quite basic to objectivity. For instance, with the dark matter not observed till date, it should be alright to go for the modification of gravity, along with the dark matter search, and to see if the modified versions lead to scalar fields (scalarons) with some dilatonic couplings with the standard matter in the background. The masses etc, calculated with reasonable constraints such as the age of the universe, lead to further distinctive features. Of course, this must come together with the corresponding mathematical rigour Fock had addressed to. What I think is that our common evolutionary track as human beings of powerful intellect, inescapably, puts us to argue or rationalize and understand in more or less the similar way.
