John Walker Three dimensional space is perceived out of human experience, formalised by Euclid who made us see what is a circle, its diameter as well as made us think of a sphere. It has its practical uses, without which we couldn't have designed an aero-engine, reached Moon & hope to land on Mars. A baby when it grows to a child discovers it. Like Sunlight nor Sun, none need discover or invent it. Just it is there, whether we attempt to know it or not (is our funeral).

I like the central point that the constant, c, indicates failure of the dimensional ontology on the big scale, and the constant, h, indicates a similar failure on the small scale, I had not thought of it that way before. I have my own reasons for doubting the existence of spatial dimensions, I am sympathetic to some of the ideas of Lee Smolin, but also to the basis of his ideas in the suggestions of Leibniz.

At school we got the Fourier transform to transform signals from the time domain to the freq domain. Something simple in the time domain appears as voodoo in the freq domain. Some time ago I had the idea that the same thing may apply to all kinds of physics voodoo, particle wave duality, gravity, electrons, those kind of things. So I got the idea that there may be the same kind of thing going on, that the 'real space' might just be one transformation away and then suddenly everything becomes very simple. what kind of transformation is the question I never got any further than this hypothesis. There are some things that I do know: - There is no such thing as a time-dimension, maybe on a graph or a formula but not in reality. - 3-D space is a bit of a misnomer, it's more like 'ball shaped' or something it's more of a linguistic problem. 3-dimensional suggests there would be the possibility of 2-D or 4-D. But I was never able to figure out 'space', maybe I just don't know enough about mathematics. There's one thing I have figured out about space though: it seems that there is space and then things move about at the maximum of the speed of light. It may.. just be the other way round, that the light speed 'spawns' space, there's no space without light speed. Anyway I'm not a scientist but all the 'voodoo' going on in physics suggests to me Space needs to be re-thought on some fundamental level. Just like the step from the geocentric to the heliocentric model. But that one was easy because you're still inside the same space.

There is a dimension of time It just collapses into the sphere itself. Therefore everything above three dimensions is a general scale of observation which relates to the ideal sphere itself. It's the way reality works The first three dimensions are necessary to form the framework of all the others to come after. Everything is within a dimension of its own point of being and a point in exponential space is a sphere. The sphere is the ideal holograph and the circle is the perfect shape of which implies all shapes and forms in itself and is the vacuum of space or the lens of your eye in reflection of this. All other dimensions outside of three-dimensional space are either general points or spheres or higher geometrical abstractions in symmetrical ways. Time includes all space in itself as a frame of reference in it and therefore it's a continuum of three-dimensional space in a general direction relative to the point of being in the center of them self.

Time is conventional, and without us here to measure it in a linear fashion, time is cyclical, not linear. We live and die on a time line, so the idea of time as linear is baked-in to so many of our assumptions. The Electric Universe people have done some good explanations of how time isn't really fundamental to physics. Space is the difficult one to grasp. In a monistic paradigm, space is the aftereffect of divergent magnetic fields. This works at all levels, from the atomic to the cosmic. The 3D nature of space is fairly uncomplicated, but the concept of counterspace is the one that is probably the hardest to communicate. Tesla, Steinmetz and their peers all were monists who believed in the ether and understood counterspace. I would suggest Ken Wheeler (Theoria Apophasis) for an explanation of monistic metaphysics. It is totally rational and complete, but it is really hard to reduce the universe to two forces/geometries and one substrate in your head, because sense experience implies a multitude of things. Ken's ferrocell and supercell videos show how magnetic fields bend and red/blue shift light.

For someone who lives (lived) by Fourier transform (& its myriad derivatives like FFT & Walsh-Hadamard Transform) it is still mind-boggling as to how he came up on that. Frequency & BW are my bread & butter. I was taught to think in a particular way & factor, reciprocal of time units (quantified as Hertz) as a Physical quantity. Physicists who fret over L, M, T etc, give short shrift to frequency (a fundamental quantity of nature like L, M, T) that takes its revenge by painting itself on the all-engulfing sky of a Black hole as "information" - merely because Time is at stand-still there. Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768-1830) can't be classed in the same way as Newton, Maxwell or Einstein but as someone who taught us to think "differently"(orthogonally). What physical difference does it make if I characterise it as a wave / Time-history or its equivalent bundle, frozen in time as "spectrum" ("Parceval" has already proved them both as the same in the matter of carrying energy). Now DFT has become the most fundamental embedded chip & that famous Cooley-Tukey-Blackman "algorithm" (algorithm named for Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī) "the most important numerical algorithm of our lifetime" without which no NASA (or ISRO) calculation could take shape. As you hinted, I think I am preparing to make a "transform" of our Number system, so that e or π isn't a string of numerals infinite long, but as a spot each in their (Fourier) transforms. Interestingly there is a Samskrt verse ("Shloka") that memorises, length of the string of π numericals for 25 places (I even suggested an error-correction, for it read 3.1436 instead of 3.1416). It is fascinating & worth the life.

The philosophical Concept of objective space only makes sense if we posit that there are seperate objects - seperate entities - out there. Then and only then space can be described as the relation between these seperate entities: this is the cartesian concept of space as a kind of container. But if the universe as a whole - and everything points to that - is one unseperated entity then there are not seperate entities and therefore no space between them.

Ich persönlich finde ja, dass die Tatsache, dass Masse sich nicht über die Lichtgeschwindigkeit hinaus beschleunigen lässt, ein starker Hinweis darauf sein könnte, dass Masse eine (in irgendeiner Weise gebundene) Form von Licht ist. Die beobachteten Geschwindigkeiten von Materieteilchen könnten effektive Geschwindigkeiten eines gebundenen Systems sein. Mit diesem Bild geht ein Zerfall des herkömmlichen Zeitkonzeptes auf fundamentaler Ebene einher. Denn Ruhesysteme massebehafteter Teilchen sind dann nur noch effektive Konzepte, "Ruhesysteme" fundamentaler Teilchen wären dann mit unseren bisherigen Konzepten der Zeit nicht mehr beschreibbar, da es sich ja um Ruhesysteme von Photonen handeln würde.

Do you really think that can work down to any level though? Because if so that seems to presuppose that existence has an infinite regression of underlying phenomina to explain the previous one. In which case you will end up with the same problem having a fundamental constant presents, which is an ultimate non answer to something that just "is". It's for this reason that I think a bottom has to exist to it all. Even if you'd like to say we aren't quite at it yet.

Or think of the gravitational constant in Newton's gravity equation. But in a more complex example the "C" could hide another equation. Maybe just one, or maybe another equation with another "C" constant. But there are not infinite equations hiding in that "C". But if there is a "C", that means we still don't understand something that the C is approximating. Eventually you figure out what controls that thing and you end up with no more "C"s.

@@SoloRenegade well hold on. That's kinda what I asking about though. Like what's stopping you from assuming that whatever under C isn't hiding more stuff. And even right now the assumption that there is anything below C itself is a theoretical assumption based purely on the fact that simply knowing C exists, doesn't tell us how, or why it exists. But that problem is going to be there no matter what the bottom layer is. So assuming there must be more to a constant because we don't get full prescriptive knowledge of its existence out of it is an assumption you'll have to make with everything,so it's not a good criteria for assuming there is something underlying that constant. Also the idea that there are no infinite is wrong. Mathematics itself is always an infinity, especially the integers. That's why things like the Mandelbrot set can be produced out of mathematics without human instruction. Now your right if your saying that no infities exist in material reality. But material reality isn't all that exists as seem by mathematics.

Not just elimination of constants, it is elimination of concepts. Remember, a constant is a mathematical concept. Sometimes there are linguistic "constants" that are eliminated. Remember learning about heat flow, and the concept of caloric, the concept that heat was a fluid that entered and exited objects? Well, it wasn't a mathematical elimination, it was a conceptual elimination. Heat became the result of particle motion, and the need for extra "fluid" was eliminated. Yet, calorie and describing heat as 'flowing' are still kept as artifacts of this. A similar elimination of extra concepts happened to me. The term "star" and the term "planet" were combined, eliminating the need for trying to describe stellar evolution as being independent of planet formation. In fact, it is the planet that is the highly evolved/evolving and dead star. They are the same physical concepts, saying "planet" is saying "star". It is just the "star" is still bright and hot and has a strong visible spectrum, and "planet" is the remains of what will happen to that bright, hot and big star. It will cease shining brightly, lose its mass, lose its size, and phase transition from plasmas to gases and then to liquid and solid structure.

People toss around the word 'Illusion' too easily (not to mention the way we toss around 'reality', and 'consciousness'). We hardly begin to understand how the brain constructs our experience of living in the world. All we know for sure is that what we perceive has more to do with the brain than with our sensory inputs. The brain maintains a conceptual model of the world, which doesn't have to be at all similar to the 'real' world; it just has to be functional for our suvival. Time & space make a functional framework that our brain's reality model can navigate within. Most brain function is below our level of awareness. Does our ignorance of our own mental processes make our projection of time & space 'an illusion'? I say no; it's just the human brain, operating as intended.

@@TheMachian Going after the assumptions that the constants of nature are based on, will be a big step towards eliminating the constants. Perhaps an experiment that has already been made by Professor Michael Manfra measuring ayons, will eliminate some assumptions. Is it possible that besides discovering ayons, he may have found a path faster than the speed of light by creating flat space with a shorter and quicker pathway? His experiment reported in ScienceNews as: "Physicists have 'braided' strange quasiparticles called anyons", and was concluded ayons were created when the electrons' two paths in the 2D material were reunited after their one path were split into two by a device and then measured the resulting electric current having acquired an extra phase. There could also be another explanation for the acquired phase as the device was blocking (such as coming from a hypersphere) which then caused "flat" space for the pathway, in which a shorter distance was made possible, as compared to the normal curvature 3D extremal-distance path? If this is the case, then possibly this is like folding a piece of paper and sticking a pencil through it instead of taking the longer path on the sheet of paper?

His ardent "divine" devotee, Naarada asked him once "Krishna ! explain me about time". Krishna said, "Is it the way you ask me, after all your wanderings all over? Go take a bath in that river & come back while I sit here on this stone". Naarada entered the river. He took a deep breath & went under water. He saw himself that he was born as a baby & was growing, as a girl. The girl has been pampered by her parents, a small time king & his queen. The girl grew to marriageable age. The king & queen found an ideal match & married her off. She became a mother. Sixty kids were born to her. And at last she died as old woman. After experiencing all this, Naarada lifted his head out of water & saw Krishna sitting on the river bank. Puzzled, he asked Krishna, how much time elapsed, when he took the dip. Krishna said "just one moment". Puzzled Naarada narrated the whole story to his Guru who laughed it off. He didn't press Krishna about Time. He knew it. The sixty kids were time herself. Each of the sixty is a "year" (its name) till all the sixty start over again. This year's name (New year's day on 23 March) is "Shobhakrt" (the 37th). This is Time in which Naarada's perception & experience isn't that of someone sitting on the river bank.

How did the need arise to integrate space & time? It is purely the necessity of Physics, human understanding or unraveling the forces of nature - that was the cause. In a multi- dimensional explanation, all dimensions need to have the "same" variable or unit of measure. In this case"length" is that. So "Time" need be translated to length units. Einstein put the limit as speed of light. Our perception depends on speed of light to pass or get the "information" (at that speed. for instance when we look at a star, now). Our perception limited our perceptible universe into a cone in one dimension(that of time). Prof ECG Sudarshan tried to break free of this imposed condition of a cone (& none accepted it). Then we began tinkering all other parameters to fit into this cone - even expanding or contracting universe changing the cone angle at some places, at times making the cone flare like a trumpet mouth (expanding Universe). Is "Time" a dimension in the Universe? No. In every dimension we fix the "origin" at a convenient point. Not so in the case of time, that has a fixed origin, as per which we need to arrange our dimensionality of the Universe. Like in case of other "length" units, we can't go beyond the origin - to the negative side of the axis. it is unreachable by any stratagem you adapt. It implies this dimension has positive side only & we have no choice on the origin. It implies that it isn't a full dimension, but half (½) the dimension. We have half the Universe at our disposal & the other "half" isn't within our reach. Our Universe has 3½ dimensions. Let us admit it (while letting other Mathematical computations & modeling take their own course. Physicists too need to live). ["Space and Time Are an Illusion" - it is what Jagadguru (Universal preacher) "Adi" Shankar`acharya said in eight century. He also said, "universe exists, as long as I exist", reducing the Universe to perception. None could win an argument with him. He didn't live beyond 36, but did a lot in that span. Also Jiddu Krishnamurthi (1895-1986) defined Past, Present & Future as the perceptive layers in mind]

Space-time is real to me but not as described by pop scientists, instead, it is something like dS/dt (rate of change of space). So, if we pick a certain (hypothetical) volume of space with a certain (hypothetical) shape, at a certain point in time later, the volume and its shape may no longer be the same. That change is caused by matter. But to imagine time as another dimension of space, oh dear, I can never make sense of that.

Time = change. Of what & where? The totality of universal energy, the 'field' (or sky-ocean) of being. When does it happen? Now. How & why? The universe of energy phenomena (& all properties of being) is an on-going event enabled by intrinsic generative/enabling principles of its nature; and it seems to be this way (as is) because of its nature (its intrinsic enabling principles). For example, physicality & mentality are principles and properties of being, enabled by the primal principles of activity, form, structure, functionality, relativity (i.e., complementarity, reciprocity, etc.). Because they exist, magneto-dielectric ['static'/intrinsic & dynamic electromagnetic] energy and phenomena and forms of being exist, like elements, molecules, DNA-RNA, prions, viroids, cells, etc.). Hence, even primitive forms/expressions of mentality involve the principle of intentionality, at least as a potential/virtual property of intelligence. So... Evidently, being (the cosmos) is and does what it does because its nature (generative/enabling principles) makes it like/love being, changing, and evolving.

Both are enabled by the principle of dimensionality, a subsidiary principle & property of form, a primal enabling principle of being's nature. So, from a semi-agnostic, non-theistic Buddhist perspective, paranormal phenomena -- like NDEs, OBTs, prescient Visions, etc. -- could be enabled as expressions of the potentials of 'the field' (or sky-mind-ocean) of being (the cosmos). In other words, they may be enabled by Being's intrinsic principle of mentality, among other enabling principles of being's nature (universal nature). Does that help?

One danger physics runs into is that reality is not a coordinate grid system. Math is a language for describing relationships. The relationships are real; the math is only a model of them. The grid is only a framework on which to model the relationships. We do not live in a 3+1-dimensional reality. We live in a reality that we can somewhat model using a 3+1-dimensional grid. I doubt you will ever find a grid system that perfectly models reality--but maybe you can get closer--maybe.

The question is of the Matrix and of drugs. On drugs some claim there are more dimensions and once someone sees enough dimensions, the GUT is revealed until the drugs reach the duration. Then therefore there would be 3+1,4+1,5+1,6+1, maybe 7+1 or more dimensions. Then there is the question of the Matrix. What is real, how do we define real? Context. For example I say that in a human life, there exists a certain set of principles. Assuming the human lives a life of no drugs, and no Elon cyborg enhancement, that human would life a life consistent with the 3+1 dimensions. Therefore, in the context of that life, 3+1 is the reality, we would define 3+1 as real. On the other hand, if by drugs or cyborg enhancement, someone lived as 7+1 dimensions, then that is what we would define as real in that reality. Then there is the question of the second matrix...what can quaternions do that matrices can't? Are quaternions the underlaying reality or simply a way of human communication, to relay reality to other humans. How much of that relayment is the telephone game, or JPEG? What percent is 100% the full truth of reality? Does reality have an underlaying sensibility to be digested, comprehended by our senses? Or is the plank scale a mystery and always will be a mystery? Is space an illusion, created by our non-orthographic perspective? Or is there an ether medium? If there is no ether medium, what is light? Is light a wave, will a 10 hz light move to the side of walls? What causes light to wave, how does light move without a medium? Perhaps matter and light are one and the same. E=M*C^2. And still, what is gravity's connection to all this...

For example multiple reflections, 2 for example, in GA naturally reveal that a composition of 2 reflections gives a rotation by twice the angle between the normals of the reflecting planes. This hints and eventually reveals the half spin nature of spinors, which no longer need to be hypercimolex in nature, which is only so in 3d anyway. That's what I meant that math needs to be understood better in order to understand and unify physics. GA, or Clifford algebra, when done right, unifies all of geometry related mathematics including all of algebra related to geometry. So as you want in Physics you get more and assume less, or nothing basically. That's one giant leap towards unified physics.

Immanuel Kant: "Metaphysical principles of natural science" 1786 (Metaphysiche Anfangsgründe der Naturwissenschaft). Space and time are our coordinate systems in which objects and events exist. They are not objects or events. They are necessary ("a priori") presuppositions of thought. Of any object you can ask: where and when, but of space you cannot ask: Where is it, and of time: when did it happen. Kant's title is of course polemical against Newton. Kant defends the concept of absolute space because we always need a coordinate system. You make the coordinates with the help of objects which are measuring instruments, but the coordinates are not objects. Unlike Einstein who identifies the coordinate system with the object (The ray of light _is_ the straight line, and because the ray of light bends in graviation, space bends). Kant would have answered: The ray of light bends in space. The ether is not some weird "stuff", but a metaphorical expression of the need for always put objects and events in the coordinate systems of space and time, which then must be be considered as if absolute.

Acceleration and speed are not the same thing. Therefore there is no such thing as: 'an acceleration that is faster than the speed of light'. If an object undergoes an acceleration, that is, a change in its velocity, then 'a third observer' moving with constant speed with respect to a second or first observer, would see _exactly the same acceleration!_ This is because speed might be relative, but _change of speed_ is absolute. A _correct_ way of stating the connection between a speed of light and an acceleration would be this: You can keep up an acceleration, increasing its speed, until the speed of the object undergoing the acceleration is faster than that of light. And that is exactly what Einstein's special relativity says is impossible.

However, your statement still mixes up speed with acceleration. An acceleration is a change in speed. And a speed is a change in position. I think you _meant_ to say, that objects can obtain, through acceleration, a speed faster than that of light. And that is simply a wrong statement. In fact, I have written a book about spacetime, which I am about to publish, in which I have _derived_ not ony the Lorentz transformations, but even have succeeded to derive the 3 + 1 Lorentzian structure of spacetime. Or, in layment's terms, in this book I explain _why_ space is, of necessity, 3 dimensional. Or, rather, why it is 8 dimensional, whereby one of the dimensions is time, three are rotational dimensions, three are 'straight' dimensions, and there is a volumetric dimension. In our space we can have change in general (time), translations, rotations, and expansions. That is what leads to 8 dimensions. From that theory I can see, that a speed of light larger than that of light _is always impossible!_ The reason for that is, that _if_ the speed of a particle would exceed the speed of light, it would disappear from our universe. And such a fact is a logical contradiction, because the universe is all there is. Moreover, it would violate the principle of the conservtion of energy.

If Van Der Waals torque=true, then my earlier postulate about inertia not being a thing was incorrect, although interesting as a thought experiment. Then inertia would actually be a thing as there would be absolute motion, not relative motion only, as objects staying in motion without a boost is no longer a given.

If a number looked weird it would just be because the ratio of things happened to be that way. The definition of space seems consistent, but time may vary. Perhaps time refers to the function of atomic clocks, or perhaps how fast an electron cycles, or perhaps how fast something moves due to gravity. Time is the comparison of motion to another motion, so seems inherently prone to measurement inconsistencies. If we figure out the physics equations and the mechanisms then that solves the engineering science (Phase 1). However, Phase 2 would be solving the philosophical science, asking the big questions such as why are the physics of this universe in this way and if this is a simulation.

Now, this man may be smarter and better at math than I ever will be, but it's time western cultural recover from Hawking's blunders and learn to distinguish philosophy from physics and math from science. Far too much in both physics and cosmology is based on unquestioned assumptions and math instead of observational science. If we're starting a cult, then this is fine, but if we're doing science, we're doing it wrong.

Actually I am not so far from your point of view. www.amazon.com/Bankrupting-Physics-Scientists-Credibility-2013-07-30/dp/B01K0TVXVU/ There is a lot of useless speculation in physics. Yet, try to analyze the situation soberly with constants of nature.

It's amazing. With all due respect, but you managed to speak for 18 minutes and never mention the material or physical reality of time and space. I think it's a fundamental issue. Contemporary physics treat space and time as absolutely real and physical things. What if they are not? After all neither one of them possess the minimum of physical properties to be a material thing - mass and size (volume). How long can we carefully dance around these facts? I have no doubts that time and space exist as a very important and useful mathematical construct. But if the space isn't real or material we can't talk about "warped space" outside of Science fiction. If time isn't material why are we talking about a "time dilation"? When I saw the title of this video I've hopped that Dr. Unzicker will seriously tackle this issue. I guess I was wrong. It's a shame.

What we call time dilation is actually electromagnetic hysteresis. See Ken Wheeler's book the missing secrets of magnetism. Tesla was correct. Space has no properties. It's a byproduct of the dielectric field's magnetic component, just like the dielectric component removes space. (Like when you polarize neodymium metal balls, and they fly towards each other at ever increasing speed, same rate as inverse square.) It's not a coincidence. Gravity works the same way. It's the dielectric potential of mass.

@@thomastmc yep. I like his theory on magnetism being only a repulsive (aka expansive) force, and the dielectric field being the yin to it's yang so to speak. (The force that accelerates the same way falling objects dropped to Earth in a vacuum do). Plus, I've never seen a more detailed picture of magnetism laid out in any book prior, along with the hundreds of experiments he did over the years on his youtube channel. Obviously the guy is insane. Obviously he is not %100 correct on every word he says. Obviously he needs to make a living and if youtube is cutting checks, why not...? But yeah, his theory of magnetism and the dielectric field sure make a boat load more sense to me, than curved space time, gravitons, virtual photons and higher dimensions. I'm biased though as an electrical engineer. Physics went off the rails from my point of view a long time ago, and it's not for a lack of effort. Just too many people not really thinking much about things, nor questioning the foundation for possible cracks. Everyone's trying to bend the standard model into some theory they have, or add some new particle wizardry to confound things further. Nothing is being simplified. It's sad

You equivocate between "explaining"and "describing" reality, because you don't understand that theorizing is about positing *unobserved* mechanisms that could result in the *observed* phenomena. Mathematics will never do that. As long as you piddle around with math as a way of distract yourself from the hard work of thinking about physical mechanisms, you won't make any real progress in physics. You will at best describe observations with more detail and succinctness and make predicitions based on extrapolation. That's a gutless shadow of what science can do.

Rate of causality Another way to think about this, that leads to useful insight. Ask yourself the question "what governs causality? and what governs the rate of causation? Because our reductionist inquiries into the nature of matter lead to the concept of fundamental forces, or atomic forces. Our inquiries into the origin of cause, or first cause lead to atomic forces. So this is a key concept and insight into answering the two before mentioned questions. But another aspect of the world we have to reconcile is. Relativity theory is heavily involved with the subject of causation, and rate of causality. Because time dilation can be thought of as being an empirical account of a variable rate of causation. So how does this fit within the context of our inquiry, our two questions and before mentioned observation relating atomic forces? Well, Relativity is based upon the parameter of time, and we derive our measure of time from atomic activity, and that atomic activity is generated by atomic forces. So that is a direct correspondence and implication between Relativity theory and our before mentioned theory that attempts to determine origin of cause and first causes, atomic force. So it can be said that Relativity theory describes a variable rate of causality, however the concept of time and time dilation does not determine what governs the causality or its variable rate. Relativity theory doesnt yet incorporate an aspect in terms of cause or causes. If you want to incorporate the aspect of cause or causes, then you have to acknowledge where the parameter of time is derived from, what the property of time is defined by? and this is when we defer our inquiry to atomic forces, by virtue that we use atomic activity to define measure of time, and atomic forces generate that activity. Forces operate the system from which we derive times measure. Relativity theory describes a variable rate of causality, causation. But it does not extend to explanation within terms of cause. Thats when we defer the explanation to fundamental forces, or atomic forces which is already an advocate for explaining the world within terms of first cause, or origin of causes. This is how Relativity theory and atomic forces can be thought of within terms of being married, and extends our efforts to explain the world within terms of "what governs causality, and what governs the rate of causality", for which Relativity theory gives an account of. Atomic forces are natures engine. And it is the systems engine that drives its causality and governs rate of causation. This concept is no more complex than the consideration that the car engine dictates the cars operation and its rate of operation. This is perfect reasoning and shouldnt be difficult to understand. except that the subject of Relativity theory has everybody in such a state of confusion that they cant bring themselves to accept simple and empirically verifiable facts. Its extraordinary to see the difficulty people are suffering under these subjects.

@@mikel4879 Ok so you doubt what I'm saying and you doubt me. Thats fine. But I'll address your questions What is an atom in reality? I'm only going to answer this in part, as relevant to my post. Because nobody has the complete understanding. The most interesting and influential aspect of atoms that we do understand a good deal about, is that their structure and processes are mediated by force carrying energy fields, like electromagnetism EM and strong force. EM isnt exclusively bound within the atom, so we can observe it and interact with in first hand, and get a feel for its nature. Like Sunlight being EM. Electricity isnt always a pleasant first hand experience, but in small doses is another first hand experience we can have that informs us something of its nature. Or the forces that emanate from a magnet being of EM, offering us the extraordinary first hand experience of its enigmatic force fields, pushing and pulling on objects across voids. Its this same push and pull that structures the atom. So we can gain first hand experience of the force fields that maintain atomic structure. But not only that. Atomic processes are mediated by the same enigmatic and ethereal force fields. These force carrying energy fields can be thought of as being the engines that drive atomic activity. And I might add, govern the rates of atomic processes/activity. Time is an account of atomic activity, it is not what governs atomic activity. Next question.......................

DarwinianU • 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Is that what you understand as being a "force" in REALITY? You're completely lost, and your answer shows that you don't understand correctly anything that's truly REAL. REAL means TRUE CAUSALLY REAL! Not the kid's blabbering (c)academia style that you're regurgitating here. A "force" is a theoretical notion only. When you want to truly understand fundamentally something like "force", "atom", "energy", "light", "photon", etc you shouldn't skip any REAL CAUSAL step in the long REAL CAUSAL chain that normally should convince you to create the artificial notion. "Magnetism", "atom", "electromagnetism", "electricity", etc. What are these terms in REALITY? What is the true CAUSAL chain of REAL phenomena that creates them in REALITY? 😏 Etc, etc. God bless you, because you don't know anything! 🙄😯😏

Constants are an admirable stepping stone for the future. But in a complete theory there should either be no constants or constants that have some kind of mathematical reason for being there. If an equation has a bunch of constants it means there is some kind of data out there that we are not detecting, maybe some kind of substance eluding our sensors.

Vielleicht sind es die Wechselwirkungen, die unsere Realität darstellen. Gibt es nur durch Unterschiede, die durch unterschiedliche GeburtsZeiten der Kondensation (Materie) in der Inflation , entstanden sind. So könnte die Zeit eine übergeordnete Kraft sein, hierarchisch. Bei Wechselwirken entstehen ZeitSchleifen , eine Art Vermischung oder dominantes Zusammenbrechen der Zeit. Dadurch könnte das Universum sehr klein sein. Weil die Realität, Veränderungen, sozusagen eine Funktion der Zeit sind. Beständigkeiten sind hierarchische Blasen in der Zeit , welche sich selbst erneuern durch zeitliche Vermischungen. Oh , Mann. 🙈
