Essay Abstract

An ultimate theory for physics would illuminate the ways that nature works to organize the various levels of the physical material world - from quarks and gluons to complex adaptive systems and finally to conscious awareness. The formulation of an axiomatic, space-less and timeless Goedelian Physical Theory (Sixth Hilbert Problem) will describe the latent phase of particles and forces.

Dear BASILEIOS GRISPOS,

You are right in your expectation of solving Hilbert sixth problem. Please see my essay "Heuristic rule for constructing physics axiomatization" for how to actually do it. There are already significant mathematical results along this road and in particular one can already prove how quantum mechanics arises in our world, along with space-time in exactly 3+1 dimensions and the electroweak symmetry. Obtaining the strong force symmetry is a very encouraging (unpublished) work in progress while the first attempt of axiomatizing the Standard Model was obtained in the difficult field of non-commuting geometry, but needs to be reworked.

i agree with my greek friend that philosophically religions of the world tackledthe problem of the origin of the universe reasonably well in the times when science was experimentally weak. Indian as well as other asian religions also contain such postulates. To the four elements mentioned by the greek author, it may be relevant for him to know that ancient indian scriptures about 5000 yeras back, mention five elements, the additional one was called 'Akash' or what may be considered as a non-physical entity best signified as great void. That lends significance to the vacuum state. In fact this element pervades the other four called fire, air, water and earth. Thus it can well be associated with universal consciousness/cosmic one, in contrast to the individual consciousness.

The mathematical treatment of the learned author takes a few variables and may be, assumes some boundary values and proceeds like many others, including Florin, the other commentator. i wish both of them the best of good wishes in their respective endevours.

Hello Mr BASILEIOS GRISPOS ,

It's a verry beautiful essay ,so spiritual .

I liked the whole and the rule of matters with the universal conscious .

The protozoars are fascinatings and their adaptability is incredible .

We are all unicells ,evolved .

I am fascinated by these amibes .When we see the cellular division ,we see a kind of immortality ...these amibes haven't a concrete plan in fact .

Do you know the multiples divisions of the Trypanosoma lewisii ,interesting

I have a global plan for the malaria ,this plasmodium in the schizogonie duivision have a specific degenerecence thus a mortality ,partial .My technic is an add of ecological and biological technics to decrease the vector ,anophela ,with the natural harmonious fight .

In the vegetal world ,it s the same ,do you know the aspergilium or the volvox too .

In all case ,congratulation for this whole pointof vue and the link between the macro and micro cosme .

All has a rule of complemenatrity where the intelligence harmonizes and catalyzes the system and that to evolve towards the ultim harmony between mass systems .

Regards

Steve

The division and the unification are a pure reality like the reproduction ,the locomotion and the nutrition

i forgot to mention another suggestion that is contained at the end of my essay too. It is to strike a close collaboration between physical and life sciences.The birth and eventual death of a universe has a reflection on the birth, life and death of all living beings. Recent discovery that an individual human cell possesses a very strong electric field, higher than that of a membrane containing million of cells, and that each cell can communicate with other cells,provides a scope to study the secrets of nature. If Physics just not provide only the instruments to study life sciences but interacts directly with life science studies, one can work better models to study the mysteries of nature that are still defying answers!

Dear Marenda Noath.

I believe we can learn a lot of things by studying ancient religions.I agree with you that the only answer to the question what existed before Big Bang is the permanent existence of the universe .Don't wary about the anisotropy of background microwave radiation. We can cope with this problem, once we have the whole picture of the Universe.

Thank you very much for your comments and wishes.

Best regards

Dear Grispos,

Thank you for addressing consciousness in your essay. I am of the opinion that physics must address this issue.

In your essay you note that an ultimate theory for physics would illuminate the ways that nature works to organize the various level...from quarks...to conscious awareness.

I agree with you that one of the two main problems remaining is to explain "the emergence of consciousness", and , specifically, "how does consciousness come out of elementary particles?"

At this point it should be remarked that, for at least a century, no one has been able to propose any theory at all that would explain how particles become aware or give rise to awareness. Many believe this mystery will never be explained. It is easy to construct logical automata from basic materials -- proteins, silicon, or neural nets -- and simple to describe "learning principles" whereby features are recognized and information is stored and recalled.

But it has been to date impossible to conceive of any way in which awareness, awareness of self, of others, of beauty, of evil, of justice, of color, of anything. And even less, of a means of attributing "free will" or "volition", the ability to spontaneously act.

At some point one must ask whether we are going about things wrong.

Instead of continuing to beat our heads against the hard fact that no one has any idea how to make matter aware, why not investigate new approaches. For example, in 2006, having worked on the problem for many years, I finally convinced myself that consciousness is best conceived as a "field", rather than an "add-on" to material constructions (the 'Lego block' approach).

I then asked myself how, if consciousness is a field, would it exert force in a physical world, as when I raise my arm. To my surprise it did not take much guessing to arrive at a fascinating conclusion, and an outline of this is in my essay. For three years I have encountered more and more success with this approach, and no one has been able to 'shoot it down'. I invite you to read my essay in hopes it may be of use to you.

Thanks again for bringing the problem of consciousness into this physics contest.

Dear Edwin,

your comment last is pleasing. Please try to evolve some experiments that directly test your theory of gravity cum consciousness determining the properties of the physical universe. essay by Tejinder Singh and my own in a small way, indicate such possibilities but none is able to come out with specific experimental checks for consciousness straightaway. As yours is the only theory taking these two only into account, you are the right person to identify some experimental persuits that may help confirmation for such an approach.

Dear Basileios Grispos,

The pre existing chaos is mainly due to the mathematical inconsistency with geometry in resolving fine structure constant. That is why we are unable to explain the cosmic consciousness in physically. The biological consciousness is limited as the evolution of biological systems is in locality rather than in universality. Thereby we need a steady-state universe along with space-time that describes cosmic consciousness as coherent dynamics of the cosmic-matrix of matters in the universe, intrinsically; it's good, thank you ..

With best wishes,

Jayakar

Hi dear all ,

It's beautiful what you write about consciousness.

Our eyes show us so many beautiful creations around us ,our feelings ,our hearts ,our minds resent this universality .

Probably that the consciousness increases ,when we see the evolution ,thus the mass and density too are linked.

Probably that the intelligence is linked with this consciousness.

Probably too that a brain system is necessary too,volume,numbers of synaps....

The time too is important ,

when is appeared the consciousness on Earth?I doubt about the tyranosorus hihihi they didn't have a conscious it's sure...our first cells ,it's the same ,even the first mammalians...perhaps it's specific to human or mammiferes .

And the vegetal reign ,what is its consciousness ,

and in the center of our Earth ,there it's relevant perhaps about the encoded informations and interactions.

Probably that the informations are encoded in the strong interactions after an information of consciousness ....the information and its ubiquity .

In all case it's fascinating ,we aren't on Earth for nothing ,fortunally .We are catalyzers of this universal consciousness.

Thanks to all for this kind of discussions .We can't understand the sciences without this consciousness ,fortunally ,it's a driving force of the universal love and its creations .

Best Regards

Steve

Dear reader,

Identity of the writer for the post, 'Anonymous wrote on Oct. 14, 2009 @ 18:47 GMT', is same as this.

Regretting for the error.

Dear Basileios,

I truly believe your paper is a real tour-de force: not too technical, not too popularized, covers most of the topics an inquiring mind might agonize over in a most unified hierarchical fashion. I think I will never look at physical systems of any complexity in the same fashion as before.

Thanks for sharing your insights with us.
