What Did van Gogh Imagine When He Painted This Picture?


Apparently he did not think that the field of gravitation has generated all.
Yet, his painting convey the ‘reality’ that all living and non-living
systems are embedded in a 'field of brush strokes’, which,
by themselves, in their very shape, direction and rhythm,
convey the presence of flux, structure, cosmos and
universal field of force, which penetrates all things
and is at one with land, life, sky and the stars.

The telescope at one end of his beat,


And at the other end the microscope,
Two instruments of equal hope …
Robert Frost
If you can look into the seeds of time,
And say which grain will grow and which will not,
Speak then to me …
William Shakespeare

SYNOPSIS I
________________________________________

More than ever before the recent discoveries in astronomy and space
research have forced us to re-assess many of our fundamental concepts
in most branches of science and philosophy. Nevertheless, the
Einsteinian relativistic gravity3.3 and quantum physics3.2 remain two
different physico-philosophical world outlooks that are in constant
conflict with each other3.5.

The fundamental dispute splits physics into at least two unbridgeable


systems of thought, each involving far-reaching implications in general
science, philosophy and education.

The disputed differences are between Einsteinian gravity physics3.3, 3.5


and quantum physics3.2; 3.5. These may be referred to as Type I
Disputes.

Type II disputes is mainly amongst proponents of string theories4.6 to

‘pre-creation physics’, ‘pre-creation universes’ and the origin of


irreversibility and time asymmetries in nature3.4; 3.5.

The Central Theme


The Central Theme of both this course and world outlook include two
Branches: In the ‘Exact & Life Sciences’ & in the ‘Humanities’.

The ‘Exact & Life Sciences’ Branch focuses first on failures to unify
the fundamental forces-fields-interactions in nature3.1-3.5, while claiming
that the key reasons for these failures are:

(i) Attempts to unify fields-forces-interactions by false mixing of


symmetric with asymmetric mathematics [Assertion S.1], instead of first
unifying time asymmetries around verified general relativistic
cosmology and Space-1-Expansion.3.4, 3.5, 4.15

(ii) Above 1028K, at black-hole’s4.3 gravitational-energy density, all


fields-forces-interactions in nature3.1-3.3 are united within gravitation3.3 --
the sole origin of all structures. [Table I, Chapter 1, p. 40; Assertion 1.1, p.47, Chapters
3 to 8; Footnotes 3.4, 3.5, 4.15, 4.6-4.12 and Volume I]

Assertion S.1

At gravitational-energy density of a massive black-hole4.3, but as a


massive ‘white hole’, and above 1028K, all fields-forces-interactions
in nature3.1-3.3 are unified in what has evolved to be recognized by us
13.7 billion years later as general relativistic gravitation3.3 -- the sole
origin of all time asymmetries3.4 and structures; the starting theory of
any attempt to unify physics. [Table I, Chapter 1, p. 40; Assertion 1.1, p.47, Chapters
3 to 8; Footnotes 3.4, 3.5, 4.15, 4.6-4.12 and Volume I]
Irrespective of any mathematical funambulism performed in a proof,
or a theory, symmetry is always conserved in the equations.
If one starts with symmetric equations, the result can never be
asymmetric. Space and time in fundamental physics are
symmetric3.4. So are the laws of fundamental physics, except the 2nd
Law of thermodynamics. Similarly, asymmetry is conserved.
Asymmetry can neither result from symmetry, nor vice versa.
(Yet, a Nobel Prize was awarded to I. Prigogine for presenting such a false ‘proof’ in violation
of the laws of mathematics. Starting from Ritz wrongly attacking Einstein [1], all subsequent
‘Authorities’ have similarly failed3.4; 3.5; 4.6 'to 4.11. Endless publications in statistical & quantum
mechanics rely on false mathematical ‘proofs’ and wrong verbal, pre-mathematical definitions
[Chapter 4] that fabricate ‘proven’ origins of time-asymmetry and irreversibility in nature.)

Beyond the issue of unifying fundamental physics [Chapter 3], this branch
deals with astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology [Chapter 4], gravity-
induced orientation, balancing, socio-biology, biological clocks and
some medical treatments. [Chapter 6; This Synopsis] as well as with the
limitations of applied mathematics, mathematically-based definitions,
statements, theories and computer ‘proofs’ [Chapter 8].

The ‘Humanities’Branch deals with the origins of linguistics [Chapter 6],


world history [Appendix V] and a new world outlook ranging from
Abrahamic religions [Appendix VI] to a fresh look on faith [Chapter 10, p.119];
from the origin of literature to a fresh view on socio-biology [Chapters 6,
p.89 & 10]; from the origin of animal and human physiological structures
to education. Nevertheless, this branch begins with gravity-induced
physico-philosophical issues that are presented in the opening pages,
this Synopsis and the Introduction (p.32). It then proceeds in Chapters 6
[p.89] & 10 [p.119], Appendix V (p.168) and Appendix VI (p.181). Beyond
these one may consult Volumes I & II. [Cf. Table of Contents, p.20]

Recent Discoveries
Recent astronomical discoveries combined with advances in
gravitational socio-biology [Chapter 6, p.89 and Refs. 9, 50], have generated a
revolution in our understanding of the most critical roles gravity has
played from the early cosmos to the origin of life, language and brain-
mind perception of the world and everyday life.

The new discoveries have triggered a fresh world outlook that


illuminates some dark corners of science and causes us to re-assess
almost everything that we have so far taken for granted, including the
apparent conflict between Genesis via astrophysics, astronomy and
modern physics, and Genesis via the Bible. [Chapter 1, p.40; Appendix VI, p.181]

In fact, the new discoveries in the remote external world, including


those made in bio-satellites and the Hubble Space Telescope, have
generated a revolution in our understanding of our external vis-à-vis
internal world; a scientific revolution without parallel in the whole
recorded history of mankind; a fresh look at nature, which opens up new
horizons and generates new needs to reexamine all previous
cosmological, biological, behavioral and philosophical convictions.

much of our everyday life. [Chapter 6]
Gravity, combined with updated observations in all fields of science,
will guide us in structuring this book; starting from the very large
cosmological structures and proceeding to the much smaller subatomic
systems in which quantum physics still fails to explain the origin of
time asymmetries and irreversibility in nature.

Can The Foundations of Science Be Deduced


From Relativistic Cosmology?
Although some of the greatest scientists (from Newton to Einstein)
studied cosmology and made substantial contributions to it - until
recently it had a rejecting speculative image. Indeed, most scientists
used to reject its importance, using such arguments as:

Why rely on anything based on information that had originated in remote,


personally inaccessible regions of space and time? Should not we first

complete our local physics before we use strange astronomical data to


reexamine the very foundations of science?

To begin with it should be stressed that such geocentric, or rather


anthropocentric conceptions, are as common today as they had been
in the times of Copernicus (who had dethroned the Earth and paid with
his life for that), Shapley (who dethroned the Sun, but was not killed),
and Baada (who dethroned our Milky Way, and nobody cared
anymore). And they make cosmology and astrophysics difficult
intellectual subjects, even to intellectually mature persons.

Indeed, astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology - unlike local physics,


chemistry, and biology, are observational rather than experimental
sciences, since they deal with objects at such great distances as to be
beyond the reach of direct,
man-made experimentation. Assertion S.3

Moreover, until recently these All attempts to unify the


observations have been too fundamental forces-fields-
scarce, and the ratio of interactions in physics3.1 to 3.5

new data and drastically asserted to be the major source of

philosophical outlooks and
models.

This transformation is due largely to NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope,


new infrared, radio and X-ray techniques, including the use of
gravitational lens to study the ‘dark-age’ epoch of our cosmos when it
was 200,000 to 500,000 years old.

The new discoveries of supernovae4.1, quasars4.14 and black holes4.3 in


the centers of galaxies4.5, and before, in 1964, the background black-
body radiation4.12, have stimulated new interest in astrophysics, general

relativity, relativistic cosmology, remote planetary systems, the


formation of stars, galaxies, clusters and super-clusters of galaxies4.13.

Indeed, of late, we have witnessed a new revival of astronomy, general


relativistic cosmology and astrophysics, a renaissance sustained by an
almost daily inflow of verified empirical information on the dynamic
universe around us.

To deny today the central role of astronomy, cosmology and


astrophysics in modern science is to deny the very methodology of
science, and to reject a large portion of its empirical evidence. Most
important, gravitation3.3 is the most universal, all embracing, field-
force-interaction in nature. Unlike quantum physics 3.2, it is scale-free,
namely, it is not confined, or limited to any scale, as quantum physics
is3.2; 3.5.

Gravity Vs. Heart Failure


And The Biology of Our Musculoskeletal System

The evolution and everyday functioning of our skeleton -- bones, legs,


hips, joints, cartilages, ligaments, femurs, tibia, pelvis and muscles [64],
has been "in response" to the force and direction of gravity.

Heart Failure vs. Gravity, say, in swollen legs, or flooded lungs cases
involves the use of the gravity vector in medical treatments [64].
Nevertheless, the cardinal role gravity plays in the treatment of
gravity-induced disorders in human biological systems, perception,
health and longevity has been largely overlooked by health providers
and bio-medical researchers, partly because the key role of gravity as
the universal generator of all bio-structures, physiological forms,
locations, disorders, orientation and organization has not yet been well
appreciated. [9, 50, Volume I]

Gravity-Induced Socio-Biology & Brain-Mind Perception

Gravity penetrates all space and all physical and biological structures. It
affects all cells in our body-brain, as well as plant growth and animal
and human orientation and behavior in everyday life [Assertion S.1; Parts A &
B]. It also controls all ecological systems, while affecting the origin,
growth and performance of cells in living organisms.

We are the ashes of dead stars, the remnants of a supernovae4.1 that had
exploded when the universe has already passed more than half of its
present age. Except hydrogen and helium, all chemical elements in the
cosmos, and in our body, had been originated inside supernovae. The
sin of these exploding massive stars was to convert, by nuclear fusion4.2,
their light chemical elements, (hydrogen and helium) to heavier ones
[oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, etc.], more quickly than do smaller stars, like
our sun.
It is always gravitation that plays the central role in the "selection"
of the structures to be produced: First in controlling the cosmic
expansion of inter-superclusters Space-14.4, then in forcing chemical
evolution through a succession of specific reactions in which evolution
means the development of complex elements from simple ones, i.e., of
oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, silicon, etc. out of the hydrogen and helium in
the stars4.1. [Hydrogen and helium make up about 99% of all observable
matter in the universe. Hence, we and the planets in the solar system5.1,
constitute just a little dirty stain in the vast ‘clean’ universe.]

Gravity is the only 'suitable' force that can build all the elements in
the chemical periodic table by successively adding, in the hot interiors
of active stars, small increments of mass and electric charge in selected
combinations that are controlled by its force4.2. Thus, the building
blocks of life had been originated by gravitation, and the entire
evolution of life has since been controlled by it. [p.89]
Following such cosmological expansion and massive stars
explosions4.1, the newly formed chemical elements cool and may
combine to form molecules in deep-cold space, which is not entirely
‘empty’. In fact, the first local "aggregates" of matter in the solar system
already contained some simple molecules, including some based on
carbon.
Again it was gravity that stratified all chemical compounds in
‘horizontal’ layers according to their specific gravity. Indeed, the
geological strata of layers of rocks composed of one material, e.g., shale
or limestone, lying between rock beds of other materials, have been
structured by the "selective force of gravity”.
Life is strongly affected and shaped by gravity. Some specific
organelles and nuclei in biological cells are "heavier" than the rest of
the cell, and serve as prime gravity-orientators. Such gravity
orientators-pointers also allow plants to grow "vertically upward".
Thus, gravity controls the direction of growth in roots, leaves,
branches, etc. It also affects the movement of animals [50] in the sense

11
All Rights Reserved to Benjamin Gal-Or, 1968, 1972, 1981, 1983, 1987, 2007, 2008

of giving a common reference for orientation, 'balancing',


‘coordination’ 'walking', and space perception.
The response of living organisms to gravity may be initiated by
changes in the distribution of pressure on sensitive locations, exerted
either by the entire cell content, or by particles (statoliths) heavier or
lighter than the surrounding cytoplasm. Gravity perception may also be
caused by movements, or reorientation of such particles. Acceleration,
by gravity, causes stresses to be set-up in cell membranes, or in the
organ as a whole, which, in turn, generates a response vis-à-vis the
gravity vector.

The Origin of Life and of Primitive Learning

Since all plants and animals have evolved under the influence of
gravity, their form and structural development are strongly shaped by
this pointed force. In turn, they have "learned" to exploit it and even to
cope with it - learned in the evolutionary as well as in the ontogenetic
sense of the development of the organism.

The sensing devices which plants and animals use for "gravity
perception" ("gravity receptors", "g-perception", "bio-
accelerometers", "gravity-induced biological clocks", etc.) are not yet
well understood, even though a voluminous literature has been
published on this subject.

But what we already know justifies the central role we expect gravity to
play in life origin, control, orientation and adaptive processes. For
instance, we know that if a growing higher plant is displaced with
respect to the "upright" position, some tens of minutes later it will adapt
its growth in such a way as to restore its original orientation in
coincidence with the gravity vector. (If it is displaced only briefly and
then restored to its original orientation well before the growth response
can set in, it still responds to that displacement.) Indirect, gravity-
induced orientation-adaptation of an organism may also occur when an
organism orients itself by a gradient of density differences, or
hydrostatic pressure.

The connection between gravitation and the origin of life, on one hand,
and between gravitation and form, adaptive structure, growth rate,
growth direction, adaptive behavior, navigation, and adaptive space
perception, on the other, must therefore be studied. Indeed, a
considerable empirical evidence has been accumulated so far on these
12
All Rights Reserved to Benjamin Gal-Or, 1968, 1972, 1981, 1983, 1987, 2007, 2008

subjects [50, Volume I] by biophysicists, biologists, plant physiologists,


botanists, zoologists and neuro-physiologists.

The Origin of Life, Biological Clocks and Innate


Perception

The origin of temporal behavior in animals can be traced back in time


and out to external physical influences. Even “innate patterns" are
frequently associated with simple orientation movement in the field of
gravity, i.e., as "upward-downward" ordering of biological systems in
reaction to gravity. Consequently, gravity and geophysical periodicities
emerge as prime sources of ordering, reproduction and simple
orientation movements. Animals low on the evolutionary scale have a
lesser adaptability to changes in the environment. Consequently, their
dependence on heredity-geophysical-gravitational origins is high in
proportion to animals high on the evolutionary scale.

Arrows of Time

It takes us some measurable time 'to read' a word, a sentence, a page, or


a book, and even more so to 'comprehend' its meaning. I term this
elapsing time, and its pointed direction, the 'Linguistic Arrow of Time'
and maintain further that each word and each sentence, generates an
irreversible 'Structural Space-Time Arrow' in our mind and/or a
'Space-Aggregated-Asymmetric-Picture' which points from the written-
typed, form-configuration, or 'beginning', to their 'end' at the ‘right’ for
Greek, Latin and English, etc., at the’ left’ for Hebrew and Arabic and
‘down’ for Chinese. Each letter-symbol, each word and each sentence
is, therefore, an aggregated, configuration-boundary, gravity-oriented
asymmetry on a page-space or on a computer display. Each generates an
aggregated, configuration-boundary, gravity-oriented asymmetry in our
brain-mind, where it is irreversibly recorded and associated with
meaning introduced by education – the force that always controls the
fate of nations, religions and civilizations. [Chapter 6, p.89 ]

Gravity-Induced Space-Time Perception


Our perception of time, space, symmetry, asymmetry and direction are
similarly controlled by various gravity detectors (Chapter 5, p.89). These
include displacement of cell parts, or of portions of multicellular
structures, and intercellular structures. Much experimental evidence

13
All Rights Reserved to Benjamin Gal-Or, 1968, 1972, 1981, 1983, 1987, 2007, 2008

collected in spacecraft proves that there is a loss of orientability in


growing seeds under weightlessness ['zero gravity']. Animals are no
exception. Each of us is 'conscious' of the common "up-down"
surroundings, and about "weight" and acceleration [Ref. 51].

We are born with innate gravity-sensors. Gravity-sensors also tell


trees how to grow vertically up, even on steep mountainsides. All these
are normal external experiences directly controlled by gravity. More
specific examples range from inertial changes of the fluid in the
vertebrate inner ear to a crystallizing suspension of organic spheres in
water. The earth's gravitational field produces an elastic deformation
that is readily observed through its asymmetric effect on the evolving
crystal structure [Volume I]. These elastic forces play an important part
in crystallized virus systems. Hence, the gravitational force provides not
only a reference axis, but also a useful biological function that excludes
foreign particles, such as antibodies, from a crystal. [Volume I].

Gravity-Induced Biosphere and Life

The gravity-induced life envelope of earth, comprising a very thin layer


(surface and lower atmosphere), was created by the "selective force of
gravity". It is therefore gravitational selection that puts carbon,
nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor and lightning at one and the same layer
for the generation of the first DNA and the beginning of biological
evolution. And it is gravitational selection that protected the early
products of this evolution from damaging external radiation by
supplying the upper protective layer of ozone. [Volume I] Biological
detectors of sound modulation have much to do with sensors for earth
gravity; both are special kinds of bio-accelerometers. In other words,
gravity, bio-accelerometers and the various ways organisms are affected
by vibration are interrelated. [Volume I].

Our Brain-Mind Perception


As one reads this sentence, a corresponding aggregated asymmetry is
generated inside his or her brain-mind. To conform with innate
[Kantian-like] and external experiences, and to communicate with our
society, we introduce 'grammar' - that which keeps universal 'space-
time-order-of actions': What happened first, later, and in a 'universal-
future-tense order-of-things'. What is past for one person must be valid,
fixed and confirmed by all else. In short; each word and each sentence,

is equipped with an 'arrow of time' that 'forces order in our speech and
life' and always points 'from past to future', and never in reverse.

To Conclude: Gravity generates structures and controls all geological


layers and global phenomena ranging from mountain crests, tectonic
folds, valleys, village and city structures, transportation systems, oceans
and lagoons, to springs, wells, swamps, glaciers and rivers, as well as
the ecological-systems connected with them.

Synopsis II

How To Use This Book


________________________________________________________

There is hardly any good reason to select a level prior to reading the first
pages, Synopsis I and the 9 Assertions in the Introduction (p. 32).

Level I. This multiple level is composed of a few sub-levels that can be


adapted to local cultural-educational needs according to the guidelines
presented in the Introduction and Appendix I: Homework and Grading,
especially if used in ‘Adult-Education’, or even in a ‘High-School-CCCC’
[Cultural, Core Curriculum Course].
Readers may range from high-school pupils to adults interested in
updating and advancing their education by self-help [Assertion IN.3].

Level II: The ‘Undergraduate Level’ is suitable for a two-semester course


that includes the use of Volumes I and II [See Table of Contents, p.20).
Comprehending the footnotes is recommended.
The autodidactive methodology [Assertion IN.3] should be used when there
is no qualified CCC-Coordinator.

Level III. The Central Theme (p. 6) crosses frozen disciplines in both the
‘exact sciences’ and the ‘humanities’.
For graduate students this level is suitable for a two-semester
course that includes selective parts of Volumes I and II, the footnotes and
the Appendices provided here.
It is in Volume I where one finds mathematically-based theories,
refutations of false ‘proofs’, critique of various ‘established’ theories,
derivations of Einstein’s Field Equations [general relativity], quantum-
statistical thermodynamics, Quantum Chromo-Dynamic [QCD], higher
levels of philosophy and re-assessment of the nature of time, time arrows,
linguistics and current studies of brain-mind aggregations-perceptions.
Volume II: Critique of Western Thought, provides six Lectures,
mainly in the domain of the ‘humanities’. The autodidactive methodology
[self-help] is best used when there is no qualified CCC-Coordinator, or
when this book is used by faculty, independent scientists, people of the
arts, theists, or dropouts, for themselves.

The Origin of the Deepest Crisis in Education

This broad subject is introduced in the Introduction and in its 9 Assertions.


It traces past educational cultures in order to formulate
the aims, scope and foundations of this unified CCC.

Pedagogical Features

In writing this Volume IV, I continue the effort to simplify and update
Volumes I & II and make them more suitable for a wider circle of readers,
researchers, faculty and students. For that purpose I include new
pedagogical features that help support the integration of this CCC
with the new world outlook presented here.

The 1958 Discovery

In 1958, by adopting the Einsteinian minority position as a student, I


asserted that proponents of quantum statistical and probabilistic
thermodynamics smuggle into their thermodynamic theories the result that
they wish to prove, without declaring the contraband3.4. Similar charges are
aimed today against proponents of string theories4.6 to 4.11.
[Appendix IV],

The Time Paradox

To rise to the status of a scientific theory, a candidate must be supported


by verifiable observations. Yet, in the actual world, there is a clash
between theoretical, time-symmetric fundamental physics, and time-
asymmetries observed in nature.3.4
The ‘exact sciences’ can be reduced to physics, and fundamental physics,
at high energies, to just three fundamental forces-fields: The electroweak
3.1
, the strong 3.2 and the gravitational 3.3.
Over the last 100 years or so many have tried to develop ‘final’ proofs that
would bridge these conflicting worlds of science. All in vain. Theorists
select only prediction while ignoring the time-symmetric retrodiction, final
conditions, etc.
Fig. 1.2 shows the expanding, cold ‘voids’ between shining superclusters of
galaxies [Space-1, Diagram]. Uniform maximum temperatures, isotropic and
homogenous distribution of voids/galaxies (on large scales) are preserved
(Cf. Fig. 1.1). There is
no net flow of energy from one adiabatic ‘envelope’4.15 to another. Such
adiabatic configurations wrap superclusters of galaxies.

In 1958 I discovered the origin of irreversibility and time-asymmetries3.4 in


nature by examining just one such envelope -- but around a cluster, not
superclusters of galaxies [Fig. 1.2], which have been confirmed later –
as explained in this book and in Volume I.

Being a student, and, later, an un-experienced professor, none


wanted to listen to my central theme and non-conventional,
general relativistic world outlook.

Most refrained to do that because it was based on general relativity and


cosmology, both far beyond their knowledge.

That situation has changed in 1969 during the


International Conference on Classical and Relativistic Thermodynamics
[Pittsburgh, Ref. 13] that I had organized with the participation of some
Nobel-Prize winners.

Worldwide acclaims started slowly after my Science and Nature papers in


1972 and the awarded Gold Medal from The New York Academy of
sciences.[Ref. 13]. For more information see Appendix IV.

Full worldwide acceptance has been delayed until the 80’s, with the
publication of Volume I, and its subsequent editions.

Do most professors take closest to their heart the moneybox?

Priority in Parts A & B is


assigned to relativistic
gravity physics3.3 as
applied to cosmology
and to determinism over
indeterminism. It is an
unpopular thesis in
which Einstein had been
practically left alone.

To begin with, I visit his


world outlook and use it
to assess some new
developments such as
gravitational lens, new
supernovae4.1 and string
theories 4.6 – 4.11.

String theories are


popular but are not
science. They cannot
even pass Popper’s Putting a Frame Around
principle for being part of
it. They cannot be
Does Not Make it a Unified Theory
[From Am. Sci., Sigma Xi]
verified by experiment
and thus cannot even rise to the scientific status of being wrong [51, 53]. They
justify Einstein’s claim: Quantum theory is not a complete theory.

Eventually realizing that Einstein has been right, armies of theoretical


physicists work hard since his death to bridge quantum theories with general

relativity by inventing various kinds, types and brands of unverifiable string


theories4.6 – 4.11. All in vain.

The essence of
Space-1-expansion
[Diagram; Figs. 1.1; 1.2],
and of relativistic
gravity cosmology,
are not easy to grasp.
I shall therefore
assume the position
of a tourist guide of a Quantum Physicists Attack Symmetry
Virtual Deep-Space
Tour [Chapter 7] aimed Breaking Discovered in
at discovering the Quantum Kaonic Systems [CPT Breaking]
ORIGIN and CAUSE
of radiation-energy gradients around stars, galaxies, clusters and super-
clusters of galaxies4.13; gradients4.13 that generate all irreversible processes in
nature, including those that lead to life.

The key mission during the Tour is to search for ‘adiabatic envelopes’4.15 that
wrap filaments or clouds of clusters or super-clusters of galaxies. These
clusters and superclusters are like islands of non-expanding, gravity-bounded
aggregations, in expanding, unsaturable sink. It is to this sink that all ‘solar-
wind-type’ of radiation-energy in the universe is irreversibly pouring in. Local
quasars4.14 and black holes4.3 form additional, local sinks. Their ancestors, the
massive gravitational aggregations4.1; 4.2; 4.5; 4.14, also had come into being by
Space-1-Expansion. [Diagram p.3; Figs. 1.1; 1.2, p.3]. The universal sink is composed of a
large number of interconnected ‘voids’ and adiabatic cells4.15 [Diagram, sites (a), (b),
(c,] each imaginary adiabatic envelope ‘encages’ a super-cluster or
superclusters of galaxies by no-net-flow of energy across its isotropic and
homogeneous, large-scale, geometrical boundaries. [Fig. 1.2, p.4, p.3]

During the tour I must cross frozen disciplines and bring home the evidence
about the MASTER ARROW OF TIME [Volume I].

Back to earth I re-assess how gravity and Space-1-Expansion-Induced


gradients (Diagram, p.3) cause not only all irreversible processes and time-
asymmetries, but how they control ‘Gravity Selection’ and orientation that, in
turn, control plant and animal behavior, languages and key concepts in the
‘exact sciences’ and the ‘humanities’ 1.1

CONTENTS OF THE FOUR VOLUMES

Assertion 001

A ‘precise definition’ is often slippery, distorted or misleading. Contrary to


intent, it may cause a large error. (Chapter 8, p.106). Nonetheless, we usually
assume that we know exactly what we are defining, or talking about, until
someone starts wondering, if at all: What is its complete meaning?
Our scientific-educational practice often begins a lesson, or a theory, by
defining a symbol, axiom, or an object – the act that a priori erects a
‘fence’ around each: Anything outside that fence is, a priori, lost.

There is no fence outside the cosmos. [S. Hawking and his club (Appendix III,
p.160), have claimed that they had invented ‘The Theory of Everything’. Indeed, it
-35
accepts no fence for there is no one below their smallest ‘thing’ (10 meter) or outside
the biggest one: the Cosmos. Nevertheless, they had to retract from that claim.
4.6-4.11
Moreover, their ‘string theories’ are not scientific [51, 53]. Their smallest scale is
more than 15 orders of magnitude below any verification scale of any current --
-19
and expected -- experimental technique in science (10 meter).
Hence, it is better to begin this course and worldoutlook with key verified
facts about the cosmos, and we already possess them. [Cf. Figs. 1.1, 1.2,
p.4, and Table I, p.40], We can then work back and forth between these
reliable facts and general relativistic cosmology, instead of with
microphysics and then proceeding up the scale to explain the overall
cosmic facts, for, unlike the strong force3.2 in quantum physics,
gravitation3.3 penetrates all, is scale-free and constitutes the greatest
macro builder in the universe. Moreover, according to the great Greek
philosopher Plato: Everything is connected with everything else.
Therefore, any reliable definition must begin with 'the whole universe', or
fail. [Chapter 4, p.70].
Mathematically-based theories that predict a new entity that is verified by
independent experimentation, or astronomical observations, is an
essential part of verifiable science. Otherewise it is neither complete nor
in verified science. (Chapter 8, p.106]

Worldwide Acclaims CONTINUES FROM PAGE 2

"The Judeo-Christian Tradition” is in accord with Gal-Or’s conclusions


states Weisskopf and quotes:

"Most astrophysicists, cosmologists and astronomers agree that the


biblical account of cosmic evolution, in stressing `a beginning´ and
the initial roles of `void,´ `light´ and a `structure-less´ state, may be
uncannily close to the verified evidence with which modern science
ha already supplied us"
V.F. Weisskopf, Scientific American

Gal-Or launchs a new spirit of inquiry by his excellent and thought


provoking writings. I would recommend awarding a prize and would hope
that this would serve to focus attention on a most important subject.
T. Gold, Cornell University

One noted scientist [B. Gal-Or], even affirms that the stress placed by
Genesis, Chapter one, on ‘beginning’ and the initial roles of ‘void’, ‘light’
and a ‘structure-less’ state, “may be uncannily close to the verified
evidence with which modern science has already supplied us.”
Christian Apologetics, Journal

A comprehensive explication of a large area of science which the reader


may study in many subjects. Highly recommended to the philosopher of
science. Contemporary Philosophy

One of the best books on the totality of the sciences & the universe/ It
was one of the favorite books of Sir Karl Popper. It looks at physics and
the universe as a totality of the mathematical philosophical
understanding. It also combines the physical concept of time with human
psychological perception and brain understanding of languages.

Einstein's time-symmetric tensor was elevated by Gal-Or’s “New


Astronomical School of Unified Thermodynamics” to the status of the
source of “Master Asymmetry” controlling not only irreversible
thermodynamics, but all physical and biological phenomena!

Gal-Or calls “GRAVITISM” (his philosophy) that gravitation is the prime


cause of structures, irreversibility, time, geo-chemical and biological
evolution -- that the expansion of the universe is the cause of the second
law of thermodynamics -- that microscopic physics, and thermodynamics
in particular, cannot be understood without reference to cosmology.

He ties “irreversibility” to the “expansion of space itself”, i.e. as far as


space is expanding, the contribution of all kinds of radiation in space is
weakened “irreversibly” due to the expansion phenomenon itself.

Such loss, or “degradation” of energy in the depth of inter-cluster


expanding space, may then be considered as a universal sink for all the
radiation flowing out of the material bodies in the expanding universe.

I have in the meantime studied your book, with great interest, and made
pages of notes on it. I feel as if I had been on numerous walks and talks
with you on the great questions, and know that would be great to go on
with them!
Who cannot be impressed by your love for the great men of all times
and all countries, by your phrase “working back and forth between theory
and fact”, by your belief that philosophy is too important to be left to the
philosophers, by your concern for where thought and language lie in the
scheme of things – and by so much more!

I continue to reflect, again and again, on your central thesis that expansion
is the origin of all asymmetry in time. What an ingenious phrase is your,
“smuggle irreversibility in without declaring the contraband”!

I regard your book as seeking to accomplish two tasks – and being two
books – at the very least.
One is the exposition of your central thesis, with clarity, and careful
mustering of every argument pro and con that can lead to testable
consequences.

I don’t see how it is possible to do proper justice to a thesis of such


importance by mixing it in with the other great task. That is to give students
an appreciation of the unity of philosophy and modern physics. You do
both tasks far better than I could hope to. I give you my personal thanks for
putting the two books into a package that I personally have found most
thought-provoking.

Gal-Or's remarkable book [Parts A & B] sees and seizes the world whole.
He emphasizes that all scientists operate under some set of
philosophical prejudices, and that failure to acknowledge this is self-
delusion. Furthermore, he argues that a failure to attend to the
philosophical base of physics leads to an empty scientism.

His work is challenging on many levels, constituting a review 'with


derivations' of general relativity 'as applied to
cosmology', thermodynamics, the current state of theoretical particle
physics, astrophysics, as well as a summary history of western
philosophy, 'especially the philosophies of time and mind' and
critiques of western society, the intelligentsia and the relationship
between academic science and government.

One 'and perhaps the central' theme explored, is that of the interplay
between symmetry and asymmetry. His primary interest is not in the
recent progress in the unification of forces in gauge theory, although he
finds support in it for his Einsteinian outlook, but is rather time, time's
arrow, and the asymmetry between past and future. Around time are
accumulated discussions, both mathematical and philosophical, of
thermodynamic reversibility, time reversibility, the nature of causality,
and the use of advanced and retarded solutions to wave equations.

The second major theme is that of gravity and its overwhelming


domination of the actual form of the universe, at all scales. The
combination of these themes is not accidental; they are point and
counterpoint to his thesis that the time asymmetries are connectable to
and perhaps even determined by the master asymmetry given by the
gravity of general relativity: the remorseless cosmological expansion.
He argues that only the expansion can provide the unification of time
asymmetries.

The expansion provides, among other things, an for radiation,


which, in turn, permits the establishment UNSATURABLE SINK of
gradients in temperature and density, which provide the basis for the
physical process that leads to life.

He also criticizes the sloppy and improper use of the concepts of


entropy 'and the related notions in information theory' and quantum
indeterminism, especially as covers for an inadequate understanding of
temporal asymmetries. Taking an Einsteinian position on the
interpretation of quantum mechanics, he looks forward to revitalization
of Einstein's quest for a deterministic interpretation of quantum events.

The value of this book lies in the challenging combination of


ideas which Gal-Or presents, which goes far beyond what can be
sensibly described in a review. [This] work may be too large to digest
as a text in these days of the decline of academic institutions "as Gal-
Or describes them", but that will be the loss of both the faculty and the
students.

Introduction
Notes to Readers, Students, Mentors and Professors

I.1 The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions

At the beginning of my first professorship position (at the Johns


Hopkins University), I was so absorbed in polishing and re-polishing
my first lecture that I completely forgot to go to the classroom and
teach it.

About 30 minutes past the time, while I was still working hard in re-
polishing the lecture, a shy student opened the door of my office to
politely inform me that 5 minutes ago all students had left the
classroom. The whole university laughed.

Years ago, I tried to simplify Volume I and adapt it for easier reading
by all readers and by students outside the domains of physics and
philosophy. Being a prisoner of the style, quest and mission of
Volumes I, it was almost impossible to simplify and abridge the 300
mathematical equations and 520-pages. That draft was therefore
abandoned and forgotten.

In December 2007, a shy student informed me that he could not


understand the physico-mathematical themes presented in Volume I,
and therefore signed-out of the CCC where it was used.

My immediate reaction was to publish, on December 15, 2007, the


unfinished draft as a Free, Online Volume III. Six months later this
revised version has become this online book. However, it has not yet
been polished and re-polished. Anyway, all mistakes are mine.

* * *
Until around the mid-Thirties of the previous century, Core Cultural-
Curriculum Courses (in Europe!) were made as ‘scientific’ as
possible, and science propped up its foundations by turning to
philosophy. This attitude was in part motivated by the desire to

This turn of events has resulted in overvaluation of technical

disciplines, and the common inclination to reject bona fide core


knowledge from the class. A pity. For these trends only push the
young into cynicism, nihilism and feelings of emptiness in education
and in society at large.

I.2 Interconnected Thinking, Teaching and Research

Although most academic teaching and research must be distributed


amongst various departments of a university, there is an objective
need to regenerate an old tradition that cannot be associated with any
specialism, because the ideas with which it deals are common to all
studies, or not involved in any. Accordingly, the selection of
interconnected kernels of updated knowledge to be included in this
book is based on an interconnected approach to what I consider a
much needed, simplified CCC book for all.

Assertion IN.3

The greatest challenge in aquiring updated, verified knowledge and


the ability to be intellectually independent, is self-removal of
externally-imposed disciplinary borders while working hard,
often alone, as an AUTODIDACT.

The Current Crisis in Education


is not subsiding. More than ever
before it demands answers, re-
assessments, a neo-philosophy and
acts: How to teach mutual
interactions instead of linear
causality; structured complexity
instead of summation of events;
structured historical buildup of
facts, instead of summation of
isolated events.

Modern skepticism is usually the


negation of a core, interconnected, educational methodology. Not so
with Einstein's skepticism.

34
All Rights Reserved to Benjamin Gal-Or, 1968, 1972, 1981, 1983, 1987, 2007, 2008

To start with, Einstein advocated the total removal of borders between


traditional disciplines.

The current academic crisis, especially in the U.S., may be moderated


by using the Einsteinian methodology, at least as properly adapted
CCC series provided in high-schools and, on structured higher levels,
in undergraduate and graduate schools.

Such a methodology may lead to new, interconnected fertilization


between the most promising kernels of fundamental knowledge, and,
thus, to the potential to rejuvenate educational methodology by
resorting to an old-new world-outlook and practice.

Assertion IN.4

Without a Guiding-Structuring Theme, or at least a Unified World


Outlook for gaining an all-embracing, interconnected culture-
knowledge that crosses frozen disciplines,
any CCC is nothing but a pity encyclopedia
displayed by a specialist nominated by “Organizers” as the
“CCC-Coordinator”, who remains helpless in teaching the
alluring beauty of mathematics, physics, the life sciences,
and comparative religions but fails to perceive their profound
educational implications to all, as a whole.

Assertion IN.5

Structuring an all-embracing CCC-Outlook is a matter entailing


far more ambiguity than the technicalities of the application of
any disciplinary course and its “Academic Credit Regulations”.

Assertion IN.6

Students are often discouraged by their professors and mentors


from asking fundamental, interdisciplinary questions in class,
as a result of which inconsistent, or outright incorrect premises,
are given a better chance of perpetuating themselves.

The resulting gap can hardly be bridged despite the fact that our

Nevertheless, the facts are that deep divisions keep deepening and
deserts of narrow specialism keep spreading more than ever before. A

Conclusion: The guiding philosophy and practice of bona fide CCC-


Series are too important to be left to the sole care of disciplinary
experts.

I.5 Survival of a Civilization and Education

Culture and a civilization are precarious. Their survival depends on


innovation and inner morality a splendid minority maintains with
incalculable effects these have had upon all well being of academia,
government and socio-economic of each country at all times. It is
therefore pertinent to investigate how, where and when such rare
developments occur or are subdued.

The origin of this problem is intimately linked to the non-


interconnected moral roles played by some scientists, politicians,
large companies lobbyists and law manipulators in our civilization
today.

A contemporary lobbyist can only deal with problems by applying


those disciplinary methods and non-interconnected moral codes that
are familiar to him or her through the non-philosophical (and
sometimes anti-intellectual) methods of current education.

The resulting vicious cycle opens unbridgeable gaps between the


‘professionals’, and, gradually, isolates each. It is this separatism that
causes declining standards, empty government and the current crisis in
education.

Most students today participate in fragmented courses of disciplinary


professionalism that leave them with a feeling of inner cultural
emptiness in academia. In fact, what they find in the temples of
knowledge is bureaucracy, inertia, nihilism, careerism, populism and
irresponsibility of the faculty to provide them with what would make
them bona fide cultured persons.

Wondering about their lost dream in the temples of knowledge, some


promising students ask:
Has the Time for Cultured Mentors in Academia Passed?

38
All Rights Reserved to Benjamin Gal-Or, 1968, 1972, 1981, 1983, 1987, 2007, 2008

An ambitious student, who commences his/her studies in the firm


belief that much of the fundamental-core knowledge of our
civilization is comprehended by at least most faculty, is extremely
perplexed to discover, sooner or later, that the professors are uncertain
about the fundamental, interconnected meanings of what they teach in
class.

Other, who seek explanations about the world at large in which they
live or about the worlds at small that compose the world at large,
realize that it entails sub-terrainian links between an undeclared
philosophy of fragmented education as adhered to nowadays by most.

That mundane philosophy of education is bound to confront


intellectually starving students. Sensing that, the intellectually-
starving students often give up, or blame themselves unnecessarily for
their inability to grasp what their mentors dismiss as trivial.

A splendid minority of bright students dare to continue, by


themselves, the interminable search, which calls for questioning, re-
examination, screening, and at times radical rejection of ‘accepted’, or
‘established doctrines’ that fail to justify themselves through their
own logic, consistency, universality and testability.
Int.1
Footnotes presented in this volume are often interconnected. They have been included to
detail or illuminate some specific subjects, disputes and issues that are related the Central Theme.
But no footnote can be considered as “Introduction to”, “Review of”, or “History of” the
“Disciplinary Domain” it deals with, or refers to.

Without resorting to any mathematical equation, a few footnotes dealing with specific subjects
stand about ‘midway’ between mathematically-formulated concepts provided in Volume I, and the
abridged-simplified ones adopted here. Reference to them is marked as: […] 1.1, 1.2, …, 2.1, 2.2, …, or as
[…]AII.1; AII.2, …, namely, located in Chapters 1, 2, … etc., or in Appendix II, etc., respectively.

Int.2
References are minimized for reasons elaborated below. The few provided at book-end are
marked as […][1, 2, …] or Ref. 11, etc.. Selection of what to read and what to study, and in what
order, depends on the reader’s interests, background and on a qualified CCC-coordinator, if there
is one.

Adding extensive bibliography may be confusing or misleading; there is always a temptation to be


“in” regarding what has recently attracted popular attention. There are also the ‘name droppers’,
the ones who wish to impress others, or put them down, if they have not heard about their last
peer-circle annual meeting, or what the ‘name dropper’ had picked up in a party, committee, a
club, or the media.

No science is immune to the infection of politics


and the corruption of power.

state, may be uncannily close to the verified evidence with which


modern science has already supplied us with.

In the beginning, according to modern astronomy and empirical


relativistic cosmology, the highly curved space-time of the early
universe is, in many senses, analogous to a "white hole" in which
radiation-dominated (structure-less) pre-atomic medium [Table I], had
expanded away from extremely high density and temperature, to end
up in the present, matter-dominated era in which the initial structure-
less medium has gradually developed into the present hierarchy of
gravitationally-bounded galaxies4.13, stars, planets, moons, biosphere
and other structures, including the late arrival of mortals. (Appendix V)

Our sun-earth-based time is neither universal nor relevant during the

scale-free, universal gravitational field3.3, or, in


short, gravity.

Direct verification of the first six ‘Days’ of the


world history is, nevertheless, banned by the
verified fact that during the earliest epoch of the
world it had been totally opaque, as a whole, while
any curved space-time3.3 point in it has been in a
state of uniform thermal equilibrium (in space). Yet,
since its extremely hot-dense beginning, the
universe has been expanding and cooling4.4. As a
result, its contents has been undergoing radical
changes -- from chaos to order, from structure-less
state to the current, GRAVITY-INDUCED,

I next begin from the beginning. No subatomic or


macro structures existed during ‘Day-1’; not even
protons, and neutrons3.2. Everything was at complete
spatial thermal equilibrium. The cosmos as a whole
was cooling down with time (in terms of the spatial
expansion rate of the universe as a whole, or in
terms of degrees K, or in terms the yet irrelevant
seconds, sun-earth years, or energy density. [Diagram,

with what we know today about the frozen-until-

insight into the undergoing pre-atomic processes
during the first six ‘Days’; namely, prior to the
emergence of nuclei, atoms and proto-
agglomerations of gas-into-stars-into-galaxies, until,
eventually, matter had separated from radiation
during the ‘7th day’

dense beginning stage of the expanding-cooling4.4
universe [the so-called ‘Big-Bang], all fundamental forces-
fields of nature3.1-3.3 are unified in what we

recognize today as the gravitational force-field-


interaction3.3. Out of the extremely high-energy
density of this structure-less field-force-
interaction3.3;4.3, the electroweak3.1 and the strong3.2
force-field-interactions would split in the next key
stage of the world history, when the universe had
cooled below about 1028K, thereby breaking the
original, unified, single force-field-interaction of
nature. [Above a certain value, the gravitational-energy density at the
hot-dense beginning is somewhat comparable to that density inside a
black hole4.3 (after it had destroyed all sub-atomic structures and
converted them into the structure-less gravitational energy. When that
extremely small and hot-dense early universe had expanded/cooled-
down, the first ever structures started to be formed out of the original,

marks, the emergence of the first ever ‘structures’ to be ruled by the three
[later four] fundamental forces of nature: The gravitational3.3,

No subatomic or any macro structures had existed


during that early epoch; not even quarks, protons, or
neutrons3.2. Everything was at complete spatial
thermal equilibrium. General Relativity3.3,
combined with what we know today about the
frozen-until-now neutron-proton ratio [‘Day-5’], the

us with insight into the next key stages, yet, prior to
the emergence of nuclei, atoms and proto-

During the next key stage the newly emerging
Quarks had combined with positively charged
strong field-interactions3.2 and, ‘later’ fused4.1 to
form, for the first time in world history, the nuclei
of the light chemical elements that we know today:
Hydrogen, helium, and lithium.
As the temperature dropped below about 1015K, (but
was still above 1011K), the strong and electroweak
fields parted from each other, thereby resulting in
the four fundamental fields-forces-interactions of
nature as we know them today at relatively low
energies. Spaces 1, 2 and 3 are still fused-unified
together. (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1)

At this earliest epoch the universe is radiation-


dominated and opaque.

The only clock -- the sole measurable time


coordinate in general relativistic3.3 cosmology, or the
coordinates marked in Fig. 01 above by the
unfolding cosmic irreversible processes, is the
universe itself; its increase in ‘size’, or decrease in
its spatially uniform temperature, or (the spatially-
uniform) density of energy, or temperature. Neither
other clocks, nor any other measurable time has
existed during the first six ‘days’ of the expanding,
structure-less, opaque universe. This clock releases
anyone from the prison of the common
anthropomorphic seconds and years.

‘Elementary particles’ pairs are ‘generated’ out of
DAY the intense unified field, while the cosmic K
temperatures lowered further but is still higher than
2 1011K. Therefore, this ‘2nd Day’ in the world history
is termed ‘PARTICLE CREATION DAY’. [FIG. 01]

The ‘3 Day’ is termed ‘THE DAY OF
DAY ISOTROPISATION’ [FIG.01]. It is characterized by K
the roles played by strongly interacting ‘elementary
3 particles’, such as photons, neutrinos, leptons,
mesons, nucleons, and their antiparticles3..2.
The cosmic temperature now drops to about
100,000,000,000 degrees Kelvin. The cosmos now
contain photons, neutrinos, anti-neutrinos, muons3.2,
anti-muons, electrons and positrons3.2. As the
DAY temperature dropped further, the neutrinos and
antineutrinos decoupled from other ‘elementary 1011
4 particles’: A duration termed ‘NEUTRINO K
DECOUPLING’. [FIG 01]

neutrinos3.2 froze the neutron-proton ratio at about 109K

disintegration of the newly formed atomic ‘plasma’;


mainly that of hydrogen and helium.
Neutrons fused4.2 with protons to form their relative 109
abundances as we observe them today. Further
K
nucleosynthesis (fusion4.2), as it progresses in the
interiors of shining-radiating sources, including the to
DAY sun, forms the nuclei of helium and other heavier
3000
elements that we observe today by the methods of
6 astronomy [Volume I]. This duration is termed K
‘DEUTERIUM FORMATION DAY’. [FIG. 1.1] On
this ‘Friday Night’, the world temperature has
already dropped down (by the expansion of the
universe as a whole), to 4,000-3,000 K, and the 7th
‘Day’ enters the world history.

Assertion 1.1: THE UNIFIED ORIGIN OF ALL STRUCTURES

During the earliest epoch of the expanding-cooling universe it may


be compared to a black-hole4.3 -- after it had destroyed all sub-atomic
structures and converted them into structure-less gravitational
energy.4.3 Yet it is an expanding ‘white hole’.4.3

Out of its field-force-interaction3.3; 4.3, the electroweak3.2 and the


strong3.2 force-field-interactions parted, thereby breaking the
original, unified, single force-field-interaction of nature. At these
early high energy densities all fields-forces-interactions3.1-3.3 are
unified in a single field-force-interactionen that we recognize
today as gravitation3.3. It is the origin of all structures to be formed
since the first split. It is not only the original, unified, single source
of all quantum entities-structures (‘elementary particles’), but the
later generator of all macro structures in the universe, including life.

Most important: The split is due to the EXPANSION.

When that early universe expanded/cooled-down, new structures


formed/parted out of the unified field-force-interaction: Quarks3.2,
leptons3.2 and their antiparticles. Their split marks the first
emergence of ‘structures’ that are to be ruled by three [later four]
fundamental forces

The ‘7th Day’ begins with the genesis of expanding Space-1, as


evidenced by comparing Fig. 1.1 with Fig. 1.2 below. It is also the
Genesis of the dark-cold night sky, which, with gravity, controls
plants, animals and everyday life as described in the rest of this book
and in Volume I. This ‘Day’ is also entirely different from the first six
ones. It lasted from the end of ‘Day-6’ to the emergence of the first full-
fledged written language in UR. (Table II, Appendix V, p.171, and Appendix VI, p.
181] Any other time scale may be used if based on verifiable records.

Fig. 1.1: Space-1 Genesis. Expansion of the previously opaque universe


formed expanding, colder ‘voids’ [Blue colors in interconnected SPACE-1]
and hotter matter emitters of radiation as they were formed below about
3000K (starting at around 300,000 years post Genesis). Photons, neutrinos
and anti-neutrinos3.2 then escaped from the newly-formed aggregations of
[plasma] nuclei and were irreversibly absorbed in the newly-formed,
unsaturable, cold sink: SPACE-1 [Fig.1.2 below]. About 2 billion years post
genesis, these gravity-induced, proto-massive-entities were already
condensed and heated enough for nuclear fusion4.2 to start. This NASA
picture shows that, on a large scale, the universe was isotropic and
homogeneous in terms of distribution of cold ‘voids’, hot matter-
structures-emitters and their maximum temperatures4.1. There had been no
net energy flow across adiabatic envelopes 4.15 in Space-1. [Cf. Fig. 1.2]
Above 1028K, at black-hole’s4.3 gravitational-energy density, all fields-
forces-interactions in nature3.1-3.3 are united within what we know today as
gravitation3.3 -- the sole origin of all structures. [Table I, p.45]

Fig. 1.2: The largest portrait of the universe. [NASA] The size of the
expanding, cold ‘voids’ between shining filaments or clouds of
superclusters of galaxies has increased [Cf. Fig, 1.2]. They are
interconnected in multi-dimensional Space-1. Uniform maximum
temperatures, isotropic and homogenous distribution of voids vis-à-vis
galaxies (on large scales) are preserved (Cf. Fig. 1.1).

There is no net flow of energy from one adiabatic ‘envelope’4.15 to another.


They wrap superclusters at large scales. Studying the dynamics and
thermodynamics of one such ‘envelope’ is similar to the difficult study of
the whole universe.

As a student, in 1958, I discovered the origin of irreversibility & time-


asymmetries3.4 by examining just one such envelope, but around clusters.
(Chapter 7, p.102). Later verifications of superclusters of galaxies have not
changed the results.

RECAP-I: As the entire universe expanded down to about 3,000-


4,000 degrees K, atomic nuclei had been formed and radiation was
then decoupled from matter, allowing slight variations in density to
grow by the force of gravity into the first aggregations of matter,
which, consequently, have become denser and hotter than the
surrounding ‘gas’. As gravity keeps increasing their inner core
temperatures, these early entities become emitters of larger and larger
quantities of electromagnetic waves3.1 [radiation energy].

On its way ‘down’ to lower temperatures of the newly formed Space-1


that is composed of cold ‘voids’ and adiabatic surfaces4.15 (a), (b) and
(c) [Diagram, opening pages]. The net, uni-directional, flow of radiation
energy is partially absorbed and re-emitted from any gravitational entity
it encounters on its way to the depth of cold, ever-expanding [Chapter 2]
Space-1 [Fig. 1.2].

The temperatures [energy-density] in adiabatic envelopes4.15 (a), (b) and


(c) [Diagram] keep decreasing by the expansion-cooling of Space-1.

One result is the observed-felt cold-dark night sky that we see today
when we look ‘up’ during a clear night, or feel its coldness when
walking out at night.

The other result is the cosmic microwave black-body radiation


discovered in 19644.12.

The filaments or clouds formed by gravity-induced super-clusters of


galaxies, contain billions of galaxies, each containing billions of sun-
like stars. The adiabatic envelopes4.15 are interconnected in Space-1.
[‘ly’ in Fig. 1.2 means the distance Light Year5.6]

The Black Body Radiation4.12 and the well-verified abundance of


hydrogen and helium since the beginning of this ‘Day’ is a remarkable
confirmation of the sequence of events described in Table I, p.45,
especially the 1:5 frozen-in-ratio of neutrons-to-protons that had
emerged from ‘Day 5’. These are some of the time-invariant relics of
the First Six ‘Days’ of the world history.

No net sun’s energy remains in earth. This is the result of


complicated thermal cycles in our atmosphere. The outgoing radiation
is partially reflected back to space from the upper layer of the
atmosphere, while most it, via longer wave-lengths, radiates out to
Spaces 3, 2 and 1 after complex processes in the earth’s atmosphere.
[Cf, Solar Wind5.3] Thus, all the incoming sun’s energy (plus a small
amount of heat from the earth’s interior], is proceeding further into the
depths of Spaces 3 , 2 and 1.

All such energies in all stars and galaxies, are, eventually, dissipated
irreversibly in the depth of Space-1 – the limitless, unsaturatable sink
of anything in the universe. [Fig. 1.2]. At least two types of radiation
energy must be noticed in Spaces-1-3

TYPE-I Energy Density This is the spatially uniform remnant,


cosmic background radiation4.12 that keeps cooling as Space-1 keeps
expanding. It contributes to the total radiation energy density at
adiabatic envelopes (a), (b) and (c) (Diagram) that wrap each cluster, or
supercluster of galaxies in an adiabatic envelope4.15. Yet, this radiation
does not generate any energy-density gradient that can drive energy
from Spaces-2 and 3 to Space-1, or inside Space-1. [Fig. 1.2] This
radiation has been left over from the 7th ‘Day’ when the cosmic ‘soup’
50
All Rights Reserved to Benjamin Gal-Or, 1968, 1972, 1981, 1983, 1987, 2007, 2008

cooled down to around 4000-3000 degrees Kelvin. Then the positively


charged atomic nuclei have captured the free electrons. Yet, as proto-
stars had started to grow in mass by the attractive force of gravity,
their interiors were heated up and electrons and protons separated
again inside the shining sources4.2; 5.1; 5.3; 5.4; 4.1.

TYPE-II Energy Density This is a ‘SOLAR WIND’5.3 type of


radiation that pours into Spaces 3 and 2 from all active, gravity-
induced emitters. Its properties include SPACE GRADIENTS that
generated by energy-emitting stellar and galactic sources,
supernovea4.1, x-ray-glowing gas on its way to a [local] black hole4.3,
etc. Eventually this energy is dissipated irreversibly in the depth of the
limitless, unsaturable, expanding-cooling sink: SPACE-14.4. [Fig. 1.2].
In addition, local black holes act as limitless sinkers. The dynamics
and thermodynamics of the gradients of these Solar Winds Types of
Radiation illustrate the origin of irreversibility in nature, the Master
Time Asymmetry3.4; 4.11 and of all irreversible processes in the vast
universe.

RECAP II: Matter (gas, plasma), during the first part of the 7th’Day,
aggregated by the force of gravity into the first proto-entities, then
‘early stars’ and possibly what is called quasars4.14, has gradually been
evolved by the force of gravity into shining [radiating] proto-galaxies,
galaxies, clusters and superclusters of galaxies4.13 [Fig. 1.2].

Entropy, ‘Noise’, ‘Disorder’ and ‘Information’: Thermodynamics-Information
Theories) These concepts are fully treated in Volume I. This footnote is not an Introduction to the
subjects. Entropy, ‘Noise’, ‘Disorder’ and ‘Information’ are neither energy nor matter. In fact,
they are meaningless in dealing with the observable universe prior to the emergence of life and the
thinking mortals. They cannot be seamlessly linked to symmetric physics3.4; 4.11, general
relativity3.3 and general relativistic cosmology. Their key fallacy emerges from basing them on our
anthropomorphic concepts such as ‘disorder’ -- a ghost outside fundamental science.

It is also impossible to define them unequivocally in relativistic transformations. False dictumes


that students in the ‘exact sciences’ [including engineering] are trained to think are what the 2nd
law of thermodynamics means, e.g.: ‘Entropy of the universe only increases’, ‘disorder in the
universe only increases’, falacies proved in Volume I. I have, therefore, been forced to replace
what is to be replaced in Volume I: The new, general-relativistic-based ‘Entropy-Free
Thermodynamics’. It uses instead the well-verified, universal dissipated energy in unsaturable
Space-1, a discovery that seamlessly unifies it with the rest of physics. That revolutionary theory
is required in fundamental science in light of the failures of statistical and quantum
thermodynamics to do the same. The new theory has been acclaimed worldwide (p. 2 and 29) and
is referred to as Unified Thermodynamics (p.82), or as Astrophysical Thermodynamics.
In contradiction with the old classical, statistical and quantum thermodynamics [Volume I], the
unified thermodynamics [entropy-free, gravity-induced 2nd law of thermodynamics], increases
structure and ‘order’ in the universe, and NOT increase ‘disorder’ as all students, in any
university around the world, in any generation during more than a hundred years, is trained-forced
to repeat like a parrot. Those who dare to ask fundamental questions in class are often treated as
described in the Introduction and Appendix IV, p.163.

The New ‘2nd Law’ can now be presented in class as deduced from general relativity3.3 and the
well-verified dynamics and thermodynamics of ‘Space-1-Expansion’ (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102,
and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2). But to fully understand, teach and study the new Unified Thermodynamics
one must use Volume I. In teaching and in practice in the domains of engineering, socio-biology,
gravitational biology, cell biology, physiology, information systems and economics, the unified
thermodynamics, or entropy-free thermodynamics, or the new 2nd law, do not require any
modification of, say, entropy maps as widely used in engineering, etc.

The New World Outlook vs. Religion is unfolded in Volume I. Many theists endorse this
outlook for it co-exists ‘under the same roof’ [Chapter 1] with the “Creator” and with other key
religious concepts as elaborated on in Chapter 10.

1.4
On the Possibility of Other Advanced Civilizations No structured -- i.e., intelligent, or
information loaded – signal (an electromagnetic radiation spectrum-signatures that can reveal an
advanced civilization somewhere in ‘our’ 100,000 light-years max-diameter galaxy5.4, or outside
it), has yet been detected by radio telescopes, or by any other detector that searches the sky for
such a ‘proof’.

Of Being Wrong: All fiction movies, popular stories, wishful thinking and false theories and any
unverified ‘evidence’, are not even rising to the status of being wrong.) VERIFIED FACTS: The
nearest star [Proxima Centauri] is about 40,000,000,000,000 km away from earth. (1 light year is
9.46x1012 km5.6). It would certainly take much longer time if structured signals had originated in
other members of ‘our’ local group of galaxies.5.5

Even if a structured signal had originated in the ‘nearby’ galaxy, M-31, (Andromeda), which is
20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 km away, it would take – by any fastest possible signal --
2,000,000 (sun-earth-based) years to reach us; slightly longer than the expected life span of any
reader, unless the structured signal had originated there 2,000,000 (sun-earth-based) years AGO.
Nonetheless, these conclusions are not to be considered pessimistic. They only illustrate how big
and vast is our observable universe, even in the ‘small scale’ of our local group of galaxies5.5.
“Advanced Potential Beings” cannot reach us ‘in person’, nor by craft, prior to their
electromagnetic waves3.1, for nothing can travel faster than light, except in some fiction movies
and dreams.
Nevertheless, these verified facts do not mean that such ‘wave-spectrum-structure-proofs’ had originated in
the past from a higher civilization. In such a case the (structured) signals are still underway.

Any potential response to such a structured signal, if being radiated out from earth one day, would take the
same long time to travel to such a potential civilization. Undestinated spacecraft that proceeds with a speed
much slower than that of an electromagnetic wave (as had been done years ago under the leadership of Carl
Sagan), would certainly take much longer time, one way.

How All Life Would End?

But as for certain truth,


No man has known it.
Nor will he know it;
Neither of the gods.
Nor yet of all the things of which I speak.
And even if by chance he were to utter the final truth,
He would himself not know it;
For all is but a woven web of guesses.

Xenophanes
We are only just embarking on a universal quest for knowledge
and are still like children playing with pebbles on the seashore,
while the great ocean of truth rolls,
unexplored, beyond our reach.

Isaac Newton

The end of all life and the end of the world have endlessly haunted
humans since the beginning of humanity. But these skeptic issues
have finally been resolved by working back and force between theory
and facts. Recent measurements of the redshift/magintude of (Type-
Ia) supernovae4.1 [Volume I] prove that the expansion of Space-1 has
been accelerating since the universe was about half its present age:
13.72 (sun-earth) years.

Unlike the popular belief, there would be ‘no end’ to the world -- to
the physical universe as a whole. Only all life would end in a cold
end. We are not only living in an ever-expanding universe, but under
the control and side effects of accelerated-expansion.

55

The universe would not end with a contracting ‘hot crunch’, as many
have speculated.

Within such speculations, the currently expanding (and cooling)


SPACE-1 (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102, and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2) would stop expanding
in the future due to the overall, universal, gravitational attraction3.3 of
the entire the mass-energy of its contents.

At this reversal point in the expansion the entire universe (expansion


of Space-1), according to these speculators, it would start contracting,
eventually tracing its evolution back to the initial hot-dense conditions
described in Table I, p.45, Chapter 1. I.e., hot-dense, total destruction
of all atomic and macro structures that have been produced since
Genesis. [Chapter 1].

This well-verified, cold-end [accelerated expansion of Space-1]


constitutes a great blow to armies of theorists that have been writing
and lecturing for about 7 decades about the hot end of the world and
about the “missing matter” they need to get their human wishful end;
– namely, what their various cosmological models NEED to stop the
expansion of Space-1 (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102, and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2) .

Readers and students may skip any book, publication or a TV


documentary that resurrects that speculative “missing matter”, “dark
matter” (unobservable matter) and the cosmological constant4.16; 2.5.

It might be a reasonable illustration of many contemporary scientists,


including some reputed ones: They have claimed, without evidence,
not only that the universe would reverse its 13.7 billion earth-sun
years of on-going, observed, verified expansion, but that it must obey
their wish to behave that way by containing more matter than has been
detected by all astronomers -- their “missing matter” theories and
lecturing to the public.

(This false claim stands apart from an additional issue: Why is the
universe accelerating its rate of space-1 expansion despite the
universal force of gravity? Speculations abound about a repelling type
of an undetectable matter-field-interaction that fills the entire
universe, but this issue remains outside the scope of this volume.)

The false ‘vision’ about final contraction and hot end requires that the
Radiation Energy Density at adiabatic envelopes4.15 (a), (b) and (c) in

the deep inter-cluster SPACE-1 (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102, and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2)
would gradually increase up to the core-temperature/Radiation-
Energy-Density of the hottest stellar sources4.1; 4.2. Eventually the
universe would end up in a hot dense state, as in its beginning. Some
such prophets also envision that the contents of this universe would
show up as a ‘white hole’ in another universe, or other universes.

The updated, well-verified scenario is, however, the opposite.


Space-1 (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102, and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2) would forever expand
and cool. Billions of sun-earth years from now, it would reach a very
cold state that is not the end of its physical structure, as claimed by
prophets of the ‘hot crunch”, who remind me of the biblical account
of Elijah vis-à-vis the other 1000 prophets.

 ‘Our’ sun and all active stars and galaxies would gradually
consume all their “fuel” by fusion4.2, and, like campfires on a
cold mountain, would become as cold as the surrounding, inter-
cluster, dark-cold background: Space-1. The gradients that lead
‘solar-wind’-type of energy from the shining sources to
adiabatic envelopes4.15 (a), (b) and (c) would gradually vanish,
causing space-1, as a whole, to approach zero absolute
temperature (270 degrees C below zero C) by its accelerated
expansion.

 Spaces 2 and 3, and with them all cosmic structures, would


follow the cold path of Space-1, down to zero K.2.1 – 2.3

Nevertheless, the gravitational force of the freezing planets, stars,


galaxies, gases and dust, would, forever, function; causing some
shining sources to flare up for a longer time than the other. But,
eventually, they would all ‘die’, holding hands with each other via
the gravitational force that penetrates all and is at one with all
structures3.3, forever.

The only time, the only physical clock left in our future frozen
cosmos, would, as in its beginning, be the increasing size of SPACE-
1. (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102, and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2). The whole cosmos, including
our remains, would exist forever; would just grow as cold as possible
by the escaping radiation into the everlasting, expanding Space-1; the
universal sink of all left-over energies.
(Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102, and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2).

Dark Matter and Black Holes:


Phantom (unverified) cosmological theories about “dark matter”2.3
imply that, eventually, as Space-1 expands uniformly4.4, clusters and
super-clusters of galaxies, stars, planets, atoms and ‘ordinary’ nuclei,
will be destroyed by the dark matter.
The generation of local sinks, as additional sinks, such as black holes,
would also stop. Speculations about ‘evaporation’ of black holes
[Volume 1], if verified, would only delay this merciless end.
2.1
Phantom (unverified) Cosmological Theories About “Dark Matter”2.3 imply that,
eventually, as Space-1 expands uniformly4.4, clusters and super-clusters of galaxies, stars, planets,
atoms and ‘ordinary ‘ nuclei, will be destroyed by the dark matter.

2.2
Shapes of the universe. A closed universe (positive space-time curvature), a hyperbolic one
(negative curvature) or a flat one (zero curvature) are possible in general relativistic cosmology,
depending on the total energy-matter density of the universe in the past, ‘present’ and future.
(Volume I). Space-time curvature of the entire universe is negative if its avearge total density is
less than the so-called critical density; positive if greater, and zero at the critical density, in which
case space-time is said to be flat. Yet, small departures from the critical density may grow with
time, i.e., the universe in the past, today and in the future may be different in density, overall
shape, etc. See also footnotes 4.4. and 2.3.

2.3
Space-1-Expansion [Addendum] See main Footnote 4.4 on this subject.
Some unverified particle physics models of “dark matter” have been proposed2.4. For example, it has
been claimed that only about 30% of the matter-energy in the universe is obervable, while the rest is
the so-called “dark matter”2.4

The ‘average’ energy density decreases with the expansion of the universe, but the dark energy-
matter density, is speculated to remain almost constant as Space-1 expands. Therefore, a universe
composed of a larger fraction of the total energy-matter in the past, vs. today, may, in the future, be
dominated by dark energy-matter. See also Footnotes 2.1 to 2.4, 4.4. and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2.

2.4
Dark Matter is unobservable, speculative, hidden form of matter-energy that has surfaced by
theorists out of their various cosmological models that are attempting to explain the cause of the
accelerated expansion of Space-12.3. [Refr. 56 and Footnotes 2.3, 2.5, 4.4]. Dark matter is also being
claimed to permeate all space-time and to be repulsive in nature, so as to push-accelerate the
expansion anywhere2.5.

The proponents of the speculative ‘dark-energy’ contribute to the speculative image of modern
cosmology. Like string theories4.6 to 4.11 and ‘the cosmological constand’ 2.5, these approaches are
non-scientific [51, 53]. The dark matter is too dark to be included in this book.

2.5
Resurrection of The Cosmological Constant. During the 1915-1929 events that had started
with the publication (1915) of general relativity3.3 (Einstein’s Field Equations [EFE]) and
Friedmann’s proof that EFE cannot accept any static-equilibrium solution [a stable universe],
Einstein lost faith in the mathematical predictions of his general relativity when applied to
cosmology. Like the media and most scientists of his time, he could not believe that we live in an

58

unstable universe; nothing expands on a cosmological scale on earth (unless you eat too much), in
the solar system, or in our galaxy.

To prevent that ‘instability’, Einstein artificially forced on his general relativistic field equations a
cosmological constant [vacuum energy] aimed at stopping that ‘unwanted’ expansion [or
contraction].

Was Einstein contemplating more about the cause behind the observed dark-cold night sky, he
may have reached an earlier different conclusion: That the dark-cold night sky is the simplest and
direct proof that the cosmological predictions of his general relativity are right; that there is no
need to add an artificial number to stop the (human) unwanted expansion of the cosmos, which at
that time was not yet known.

In the 20’s, Hubble proved, by using well-verified4.1 astronomical observations, that SPACE-1
expands. [Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102; Table I, p.45, Chapter 1; Fig. 1.2]

When Einstein was informed about Hubble’s observational verification of the expanding universe,
he has admitted that by forcing on his general relativistic field equations, the cosmological
constant, he had been driven by human wishes to stop the ‘culturally-unwanted’ expansion,
eventually concluding that the addition of this constant has been ‘the worst blunder of my life’

Einstein’s rejection of that constant from science was a serious blow to many theorists, for they
have already piled, with their graduate students and followers, many ‘scientific papers’ that
explain the [misleading] deep meaning of that ghost. But that was not the end of this constant. It
has resurrected recently [Refs. 54, 57], by verification of the accelerated expansion of the
universe2.4. Suddenly, armies of theorists could link that ghost to string theories4.6 to 4.11 and to
another ghost: The ‘dark matter’2.4. As usual, the media, equipped with an embedded greed for
higher rating, has embraced debates on dark matter, the cosmological constantand string theories,
which re-equip cosmology with a rejecting speculative image and portray a wrong image of
science in general.

Such un-subsiding attempts resemble a phenomenon that today, more than ever before, may be
motivated by an inner desire to deny Einstein’s world outlook and refrain from admitting the need to
surrender to his world outlook. What actually drives such ambitions I do not know.

The Greatest Ambition in Physics

It would be possible to describe everything scientifically,


but it would make no sense;
it would be without meaning,
as if you described a Beethoven symphony
as a variation of wave pressure.

Albert Einstein

An unknown source that, nevertheless, may be referred to as


‘logical’, ‘aesthetic’, ‘inner wish’, or ‘religious’, is driving human will
to unify all fundamental forces of nature and fuse them into ‘unified
field equations’, or a single World Outlook that is based on the
minimal possible number of axioms while explaining the maximum
number of verified facts. Currently, at high energies, these
fundamental forces are:

The Electromagnetic-Weak (footnote 3.1)

The Strong (footnote 3.2)

Gravity (footnote 3.3)

At low energies the electromagnetic force-field-interaction separates


from the weak, thereby we speak about FOUR fundamental forces of
nature.

There is, in addition, a tantalizing clash between theoretical symmetry


that controls the mathematics that describe the fundamental forces-
fields-interactions, and the actual asymmetry of nature3.4; 3.5:

Asymmetry-Symmetery (footnotes 3.4; 3.5),

60
All Rights Reserved to Benjamin Gal-Or, 1968, 1972, 1981, 1983, 1987, 2007, 2008

Symmetry, as I see it, is conserved in any physico-mathematical


equation irrespective of the mathematical funambulism of its
manipulators.

This fact is merciless: If anyone starts with symmetric equation the


correct result can never be asymmetric. Similarly, asymmetry is
conserved. Symmetry cannot result from asymmetry, nor vice versa.
These ‘conservation laws’ are very important, as I find during
investigations of their origin in nature and in our theories. They have
been raised in the SYNOPSIS and are to be treated again later.

The Electromagnetic-Weak force-field-interaction is, in short, the


electro–weak force. It is at the base of chemistry, biology, medical
sciences and appliances, communication, electronics, electron-
microscopy, telescopes, astronomy, radioactive decay, etc. It binds
atoms together to form molecules3.1.

The Strong Force is at the base of subatomic, quantum physics3.2 and


is being incorporated in various efforts by the proponents of the
(unverifiable) string theories4.6 – 4.11.

Gravity3.3, a short term for the gravitational force-field-interaction, is


described by general relativity. It reigns superb and controls all
cosmological, galactic, stellar, planetary, terrestrial, geological,
ecological, socio-biological, plants, animal structures-systems and
key human concepts, as described in this volume.
Despite claims for success, as declared by some proponents of string
theories4.6-4.11, the grand unification of the three fundamental forces of
nature remains a run-away aspiration beyond the horizon of verifiable
science.

During Einstein’s lifetime these efforts represented the fact that he


had worked hard until his death (1955) in seeking grand scientific
unification of all forces of nature (four at his time). He did not
succeed however. His dictums reflect his skeptical view: Science is
not the complete knowledge of nature, neither of things-in-themselves,
nor of the will to will. The will to will is beyond physics.

If ‘everything’ and ‘things-in-themselves’ are explained one day by one


unified physics, it may not explain the origin of our search for an

61

aesthetic frame of mind; for the run-away horizons of truth and


asymmetry-symmetry3.4 that we always try to reach. [Assertions IN.1
and 1.1].

For that reason this CCC includes a chapter on realities in ‘the arts’;
realities in which all interconnectedness between all branches of human
knowledge play a role.

I return to this key theme in Chapter 10.

3.1
Electromagnetic-Weak Force-Field-Interaction. Note: While this is a long footnote, it is not
an Introduction to the subject. Beyond it one may consult Footnotes 3.2 to 3.5 and Volume I,
especially for some hot debates and specific disputations in physics.

The subject involves (at high energies) the long-range electromagnetic field-force-interactions (see
below), with the Weak Force, as a short-range force-field-interaction that harbors some radioactive decay
processes. At low energies it constitutes the fourth fundamental force field in modern physics.

The electromagnetic force is at the base of chemistry, biology, medical sciences, communication, electronics,
electron-microscopy, telescopes, astronomy, etc.1.1 It binds atoms together to form molecules, including bio-
molecules like DNA. It is about hundred times weaker than the strong force.3.2

Field-Force-Interactions are postulated to emit and absorb massless, point-like, field particles like photons of
3.2
light and other field particles .

Gluons3.2 are postulated to mediate the strong force3.2, while specific bosons ‘mediate’ the weak force.
[Gravitons have also been proposed by some theorists to ‘mediate’ the gravitational force-field3..3.]

Sheldon Glashow, Abdus Salam and Steven Weinberg won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1979 [See
List of all Nobel Prize Winners in Appendix II) for developing the electroweak theory that unifies
the electromagnetic and week interactions. Inter alia it predicted the existence of the W and Z
BOSONS at very high energies: About 82 Gev/c2 for W [verified later at 80.4 Gev/c2 ] and about
93 Gev/c2 for Z [verified later at 91.2 Gev/c2 ]. According to their theory both interactions have
about the same strength at very high energies (symmetric).

The combination of the electroweak theory with Quantum Chromodyamics [QCD] for the strong
interactions is termed THE STANDARD MODEL, which, however, does not include the
gravitational field-force3.3 and it has not explained, say, why the point-like photon has no mass,
while the W and Z bosons do. The origin of the masses of W and Z has been treated by postulating
the existence of a hypothetical Higgs Boson, which, however, has not yet been verified
experimentally.

3.2
The Strong Force-Field-Interaction. Note: While this is a long footnote, it is not an
Introduction to the subject. Beyond it one may consult Footnotes 3.1 and 3.3 to 3.5 and Volume I

The strong force is an attractive force between sub-atomic nucleons. It is a very short-range force-
field-interaction. Its magnitude is negligible in ranges greater than about 10-15 meter. (about the
size of the atomic nucleus). It increases with separation distance and is ‘mediated’ by massless
field-particles called Gluons.

Gluons ‘mediate’ the strong force that binds/confines quarks (see below) inside protons and
neutrons. I.e., each quark in a proton or neutron is continuously emitting and absorbing gluons.
The energy of a gluon can generate quark-anti-quark pairs, like the creation of electron-positron
pairs. When a quark emits or absorbs a gluon, the quark’s color charge (see below) may change.

Hadrons are sub-atomic entities that are not massless field particles like the photon and the gluon.
These are sub-atomic particles that interact through the strong force. A hadron is a complex
particle that has size and structure. It is a composite system of sub-atomic particles. Hadrons are,
therefore, ‘non-elementary-particles’. They are composed of Fermions (Quarks) [see below] and
antiquarks.

Hadrons are of two types: Baryons [Fermions], that have masses equal to or larger than that of the
proton, and Mesons [Bosons] [having 0 or 1 spin]. They interact via all forces. Hadrons have
quantum numbers: Spin, parity and mass. In addition they carry “flavor” quantum numbers such
as isospin (or G-parity) and a ‘property’ called strangeness. Hadrons are single excitations in
QCD, which predicts that quarks and gluons interact weakly. This ‘property’, which is called
‘asymptotic freedom’ has been experimentally confirmed at large energy levels between a GeV
and a TeV .

Leptons have no inner structure, or size; namely, they are point-like field-particles of quantum
physics -- a lacuna that some hope to be resolved by string theories4.6-4.11 All leptons have spin ½
and do not interact through the strong force. The following types are considered in quantum
physics: Electrons, muons, taus and three types of neutrinos.

Messons are the Kaon, Pion, Eta; Baryons are the Proton, Neutron, Omega, Lambda, Sigma, Delta
Xi. The kaon, lambda and sigma particles exhibit unusual ‘properties’, e.g. are produced in pairs
when created or decayed very slowly, hence are called ‘strange particles’.

The Quark Model. Strong interaction that binds subatomic particles together is described by QCD.
Quark gluons are gauge bosons in QCD. According to it quarks have a ‘property’ called color
charge and the force between quarks is the strong force or the color charge, which may be due to
gluon exchanges between hadrons.

Quarks are dividable into six flavors: up, down, strange, charm, bottom and top, and their
antiquarks. Quarks harbor fractional electric charge and are NOT found free in nature. The up,
charmed, and top quarks have electric charges of +2/3 that of the proton. The down, strange and
bottom quarks have charges of –1/3 that of the proton. Protons consist of 2 up and 1 down quarks,
whereas neutrons consist of 2 down and 1 up quarks.

Quarks are also identified by three ‘colors’: red, green, and blue. The masses of the heavy charm
and bottom quarks are obtained from the masses of hadrons containing a single heavy quark and 1
light antiquark, or 2 light quarks.

Particles with the same color charge repel, while the ones with opposite color charge attract. A
collection of, say, red, blue and green quarks attract each other to form baryons. Every baryon
contains three quarks. A residual force between them is the force that binds protons and neutrons
to form the atomic nuclei. Quarks and gluons are assumed to be combined to form baryons such
as protons and neutrons, when the universe was dominated by photons3.1 (with a minor
contribution from neutrinos). More information is available in Chapter 7.

3.3
The Gravitational Field-Force-Interaction [Gravity in short]. Note: While this is a long
footnote, it is not an Introduction to the subject. Beyond it, one may consult Footnotes 3.1 to 3.2;
3.4 to 3.5 and Volume I; especially for some hot debates and specific disputations in physics.

General relativity is based on the principle of equivalence (or duality10.4) between gravity and
acceleration, and on the axiom that all laws of nature are exactly the same for any observer8.3; 3.4
These laws may be expressed as metric tensors8.3; 3.5 [in terms of the local curvature of space-time]
and the energy-momentum tensor (conservation of energy-mass and momentum), and remain
invariant [symmetric3.4] for, say, observers at rest, rotating, accelerating and standing on a small or
a massive star. It is indisputable today that Einstein’s Field Equations [EFE]3.5 of general relativity
constitute the single, best, scale-free, universal and verified theory of gravitation that physics has
ever provided. EFE are based on the stress tensor and the Riemanian geometry of curved space-
time. [Volume I]

Gravitation is a force-field-interaction that penetrates all and controls phenomena in the entire
cosmos, at any time and place, as well as in everyday life on earth. It is at the very basis of the
Central Theme and World Outlook presented in Volume I and here.

Gravity controls the structuring and thermodynamics of galaxies, stars, supernova explosions4.1,
planets, moons, black holes4.3 and quasars4.14. It is expressed by the deterministic, Einsteinian,
tensorial, field equations, known also as Gravity Physics.

Gravity is a long-range force that


penetrates everything. It is produced by
any aggregated mass-energy, which, in
turn, curves space-time4.3; 4.13; 4.14. i.e.
gravity bends the path of light and of
other entities3.1 so that the greater the
mass-energy, the greater is the degree of
bending. This bending is the
manifestation of curved space-time.

The greater the mass of a star, the greater


is the curvature of space-time. Therefore,
magnifying gravitational lens are used in
modern astronomy when the incoming
radiation to the telescope has, on its way
to earth, passed through a collection
[cluster] of massive galaxies and/or stars.
Such gravitational lens have been recently
used to observe the “dark age” in
astronomy, namely, when the age of the
universe was about 300,000 to 500,000 sun-earth years; an important age during which the
universe had become transparent for the first time, and gravity-induced structures had first been
seeded when very large hydrogen-helium gas masses have first started to condense into very large
stars that lead to proto-galaxies and galaxies as we observe them today. [Chapter 1, 7th ‘Day’.]

Time as treated by general relativistic cosmology, is slowed down by large galaxies and massive
stars. This time effect is in addition to time effects treated by special relativity.

Special relativity rules superb not only in any (non-accelerating, deterministic) system, but also in
probabilisic, quantum micro-physics. The theory is limited, however, to non-accelarating/non-
gravitating systems. Unlike quantum microphysics, both special and general relativity are strictly
deterministic.

When first applied to cosmology in 1919, general relativity predicted the expansion [or
contraction] of the universe, a phenomenon that was first confirmed by observation in the 20s by
the astronomer E. Hubble. (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102) What Hubble measured is an increase in

64

all distances [Space-1 increase] between clusters (Diagram in the opening pages, and Figs. 1.1 and
1.2) or super-clusters of galaxies4.14. The further the observed cluster, or super-cluster of galaxies,
the greater is its speed of recession from us, or from any place in the cosmos. (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1,
p.102).

Newtonian gravity is included in general relativity as an approximation in relatively weak


gravitational fields, like that on earth. Newtonian gravity rules superb in controlling tides,
geological strata, generation of mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, ponds, oceans, city and village
structures, transportation systems, the solar system, and many human concepts.1.1 It also explains
how gravity controls the solar system5.1 and the structures of planets, moons and smaller objects.

While most writers, mentors, teachers and professors stress the low strength of gravity on earth (in
comparison with that of the strong force3.2), it is much stronger than the strong force in massive
stars4.1, in black holes4.3, and in some galactic centers4.5. In such massive systems the gravitational
force overcomes the strong force3.2 by crushing all atomic and sub-atomic structures4.1; 4.2.

Volume I, and this book, explain why the expansion of the universe4.4 is restricted to inter-cluster
space-1 (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102, and Figs. 1.1 and 1.2), and why the observed universe is finite,
expanding and boundless, as, say, in curved, 2-space dimensions and one time dimension of the
surface of an inflating-expanding balloon (see Analogy I below), whose surface size is finite but
boundless, i.e., its surface harbors no edge in curved two-dimensional space. It also explains the
cooling of the remnant cosmic black body radiation2.12 and TYPE II of radiation energy that it
contains. [Chapter 1, 7th ‘Day’]

Analogy I: Imagine ‘a two-dimensional, educated creature’ capable of living only on the 2-


dimensional surface of an inflating-expanding balloon on whose expanding surface super-clusters of
galaxies are marked as small, localized, closed shapes. The sole conclusion of that educated creature:
All super-clusters of galaxies are receding away “from me”, no matter where I stand. For that
creature, the balloon-universe has no edge. It is finite in surface area, but boundless. And it is not
expanding "into" any extant space outside the balloon. For this educated creature the surface of the
balloon is the whole universe, and nothing more. His universe therefore admits infinite paths of light
in all directions. In our familiar three-dimensional universe there is also no space into which the
universe is expanding. Other motions, rotations and changes in which we participate are briefed in
footnote 5.2.

Analogy II: The Raisin Bread Analogy. Imagine each super-cluster of galaxies as a raisin. The
raisins are spread evenly throughout a raisin bread dough that expands when heated in the oven.
As the bread expands “an educated observer” located on each raisin sees all other raisins moving
away from “his” raisin while his raisin remains at the same place and size. In a simplified analogy
to the observed universe, one may further imagine that the bread has no edge, like in the balloon
analogy, and is finite in total “size”; a size that is increasing with the age of the universe (the
expanding Space-1). There is no clock other than that increase in size. Our sun-earth time is
therefore totally irrelevant and misleading prior to the formation of the solar system. To replace it
I use Table I, p.45 in Chapter 1.

Analogy III: The Home Bath-Tub. Imagine that your bathtub is made from a highly elastic
rubber and that it is constantly being inflated and increasing its volume. (In analogy to the
expanding SPACE-1, [DIAGRAM]). Imagine further that your bathtub expands faster than it is
filled up with hot water. (In analogy to expanding SPACE-1, which is expanding at a faster rate
than it is filled up with radiation energy streaming out of shining stars and galaxies, like the ones
shown in the Diagram.). Now, if you had started inflating your bathtub from a high hot water-level
mark – in analogy to the hot initial state of SPACE-1 -- that water level would go down with the
expansion-inflation. Under such conditions your bathtub cannot be filled-up. (Space-1
temperature, or radiation energy density [Diagram], cannot but decrease, as is the temperature of
the cosmic blackbody radiation4.12). This expanding bathtub represents the dark-cold night sky that
you can observe by stepping out of your home on a non-cloudy night. Since SPACE-1 is
UNSATURABLE to the streaming-in radiation, no inflowing mass-energy from nearby and far
away clusters or super-clusters of galaxies can fill-it-up, as far as it keeps expanding fast enough,

65

and so it not only does, but is accelerating. (Chapter 2). The 2.7 deg. K of the background
blackbody radiation4.12 and the dark-cold night sky are part of this verifiable facts. (Chapter 1).
Space-1 expansion also causes electromagnetic irreversibility and the electromagnetic arrow of
time. [Volume I]

In case the inflation-expansion of your bath-tub stops, the water level (the temperature of the
background black-body radiation4.12) would start rising and the bath will be filled up (the night sky
would become hotter and hotter until, eventually, it reaches the maximum fusion temperature4.2 of
the interiors of stellar objects like the sun, or galactic systems4.5 (all galactic systems have about
the same maximum temperature, therefore, there is no net flow from one adiabatic cell4.15 to
another. [Diagram, opening pages])

Space-1 expansion was first discovered by Hubble in the 1920’s. It has since been re-affirmed by
the 1964 discovery of the black body radiation4.12, by recent Hubble Space Telescope discoveries,
and by independent methods described in details by VOLUME I.

Mathematical derivations of both special and general relativity are provided in Volume I, which
also describes key measurement methods of astronomical distances, namely, how the detection of
radiation that had emitted from past/far-away objects is used to establish distances to such objects.

3.4
Asymmetry Vs. Symmetry in Fundamental Science. This footnote constitutes an important
component of footnote 3.5 and of the Central Theme of this book. While it is not a short one, it is
not an Introduction to this important subject in science and in everyday life. Beyond this footnote
one may consult footnotes 4.6 to 4.12 and Volumes I and II.

There is a great confusion in physics concerning fundamental Vs. primitive symmetries, guage
symmetry, supersymmetry and time asymmetry in the actual world.

I shall first stress here the importance of symmetry in the formulations of verified fundamental
forces-fields-interactions3.1; 3.2; 3.3. Here one can find theories expressed by Langrangians that remain
invariant under certain symmetry operations. When these physico-mathematical operations are
invariant under a transformation that is performed at any point in space, they are referred to as
harboring a global symmetry, which becomes a local symmetry when fixed in space-time as a
generalization of the equivalence principle of Einstein’s general relativity3.3; 3.5.

The importance of gauge symmetries may be illustrated by relativistic quantum mechanics of the
electrons. In quantum physics3.2, symmetry is often referred to as a transformation between states
that preserve the expectation values of all observables.

String theories4.6 to 4.11, and some formulations of general relativity, may be expressed as gauge
theories [Volume I]. Gauge theories involve renormalisable operations in unified field theories3.5
in which symmetry transformations can be conducted locally as well as globally.

However, my Central Theme in the domain of physics3.5 is not focused on guage theories and
guage symmetries. It may be stated as follows:

All fundamental laws of physics, except the 2nd law of thermodynamics1.2, are space and time
symmetric. Namely, there is no distinction between any direction in space and in time. The Central
Theme in this domain means that the observationally-based 2nd law of thermodynamics -- in its
fundamental form1.2 -- states that in the actual world (E.g., in engineering practice, cosmology and
history) the time coordinate can only extend from past to future, and never in reverse. This is
termed ‘Time Asymmetry’.[Optional false dictumes of the 2nd law of thermodynamics may be
stated as: ‘Entropy of the universe only increases’, ‘disorder in the universe only increases’, a
falacy proved in Volume I.

All ‘exact’ sciences can be reduced to Physics, and all physics to the fundamental fields-
forces-interactions [at high energies] electroweak3.1, strong3.2 and gravitational3.3.

In turn, these are expressed in terms of the mathematics of curved space-time in which there is
no distinction between any direction (a plus or a minus coordinate) in space and in time, namely,
all the basic equations of physics (except one: The 2nd law of thermodynamics), are strictly
symmetric in time and space (curved space-time coordinates). (Cf. Chapter 8, p. 106, as well as
Volume I, string theories4.6 – 4.11)

Any claim that may rise to the status of a reliable theory in science must be compared with,
or predict verifiable observations.

Nevertheless, in the actual (macro) world, there is a tantalizing clash between the aforementioned
theoretical symmetry and the actual time asymmetries found in nature. This result is based on the
fact that all processes in nature are irreversible and pointing (an imaginary) ‘arrow’ from past to
future, and never in reverse.

That ‘arrow of time’ is an optional fundamental expression of the 2nd law of thermodynamics. In
turn, any solution of the three symmetric fundamental forces, say, as integro-differential equation
that is to be compared with verifiable observations, is subject to the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics
(in the macro world).

Finally, to conclude this footnote -- and return to footnote 3.5 -- let me stress again that there are
different time asymmetries: The cosmological, thermodynamic, electromagnetic, linguistic and
other gravity-induced asymmetries (arrows of time).

Which one is the Super-Asymmetry that controls all other arrows of time?
What is the Origin and Cause of the aforementioned contradiction?
Despite many claims for success, none has yet succeeded to derive and prove the origin of
irreversibility in nature – of the Master Time Asymmetry (Volume I) -- from symmetric
mathematical equations of statistics, probabilities, where retrodiction is precisely symmetric to
prediction – or by starting from symmetric partial differential equations, say of
electromagnetism3.1 (see also the Einstain-Ritz controversy [1]) and its integro-differential
equation-solutions that are ‘man-forced’ to evolve only in the positive time direction, namely, by
man-wish selection of only the INITIAL CONDITIONS while a priori rejecting FINAL
CONDITIONS (ending ‘up’ with retarded solutions in electromagnetism, which agree with
observations of emitter vs. absorber), while rejecting, or intentionally avoiding, the ADVANCED
SOLUTIONS (which do not agree with observations). I call this common phenomenon

SMUGGLING INTO THE FABRICATED ‘PROOF’ THE RESULT THAT THE SCIENTIST
WANTS TO PROVE WHILE NOT DECLARING THE CONTRABAND.
In Volume 1 -- and in earlier publications -- I replaced such smuggling acts by using legal, general
relativistic cosmology and the observed Space-1-Expansion (Chapter 7, Fig. 7.1, p.102) as the
origin and cause of irreversibility and time asymmetries3.4 in nature, thereby basing the origin
of all irreversible processes in nature on general relativistic cosmology (Ref. 13). It may be
stressed, however, that at least one work in physico-chemistry, by an untired activist, has been
awarded the Nobel Prize for presenting the Nobel-Prize-Committee with mathematically illegal
funambulism of a false ‘proof’.

The resulting world outlook presented here is more unified with the rest of physics via its
foundations that are deduced from the classical Einstein’s Field Equations, which, in turn, accept
no static cosmological solutions. These were originally predicting that the universe cannot stay
static (thereby attaing thermal equilibrium), i.e., it must expand, or contract, which is what I term
in Volume I the Master Cosmological Arrow of Time, or the MASTER TIME
ASYMMETRY that emerge from general relativity.

My CENTRAL THEME CONCLUSION in Branch A3.5 may therefore be stated as::

THERMODYNAMICS, TIME ASYMMETRIES and IRREVERSIBILITY ARE BASED ON THE SYMMETRIC
EQUATIONS OF GENERAL RELATIVITY AND ARE, THEREFORE, UNIFIED WITH THE REST OF
SYMMETRIC EQUATIONS OF FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS, CLASSICAL, STATISTICAL and
PROBABILISTIC THERMODYNAMICS (and Information Theories that are based on them) that
extract asymmetry from symmetry.

3.5
Unified Field Theories Einstein was isolated in his attempts to develop unified physics via
relativistic unified field theories that harbor what we call gravitation [or gravity in short]. Part of
that isolation is due to his consistent claim that quantum theories are incomplete and would, in due
time, be replaced by an ultimate unified theory of physics.

It is indisputable today that Einstein’s Field Equations [EFE] constitute the single, best, scale-free,
universal and verified theory of gravitation that physics has ever provided. EFE are based on the
stress tensor8.3 and the Riemanian geometry of curved space-time3.3. [Volume I]

Following Einstein’s publication (1915) and later verifications of EFA by astronomical


observations, Einstein had focused his mind on unification of the gravitational and electromagnetic
fields-forces-interactions3.1; 3.3. However, it has turned out that ordinary Riemanian theory cannot
exhibit the electromagnetic field-force-interaction as a purely geometric phenomenon. [see also
below]

During Einstein’s life time the strong field-force-interaction3.2 was not yet formulated as it
currently stands. Armies of theorists focus today on a reversed effort: Develop a quantum theory of
gravitation, or quantum gravity. So far all these unverified efforts have also failed4.6 to 4.11.

Some other reputed theorists, including Erwin Schrödinger, Arthur Eddington, Theodor Kaluza and
Herman Weyl, have tried, in vain, during Einstein’s life time, to unify the fundamental forces
recognized by the physics of their time.

For instance, Erwin Schrödinger investigated pure-affine formulations of generalized gravitational


theory, assuming, intially, a symmetric affine connection. But he later changed his efforts to a
nonsymmetric mathematics. Nonetheless, skepticism from Einstein discouraged him, and his work
has been largely ignored.

Einstein continued to work, in vain, until his death, on unified field theories of gravity and
electromagnetism, but he became isolated in his efforts that ignored quantum theories. Nonetheless,
many contemporary theorists have changed their mind about Einstein’s attitude toward quantum
theory, at least by admitting that quantum theories are not complete for they do not incorporate
general relativity [gravitation]. This change of mind has led, since Einstein’s death, to numerous
efforts to verifiy a single, reliable string theory4.6 to 4.11, all in vain.

In the past, to incorporate electromagnetism into general relativity, Weyl generalized the Riemannian
geometry by adding degrees of freedom between two points in locally sized measures along a path,
in terms of a guage and vector fields, thereby unifying electromagnetic and gravitational fields.
Weyl corresponded with Einstein about his theory, which, eventually, has turned out to be non-
physical. Nevertheless, his gauge invariance was later applied in quantum filed theory [Volume I]

Kaluza's approach to unification was to resort to a single time and four space dimensions.
Riemannian geometry was maintained and the extra dimension allowed to incorporate the
electromagnetic field vector into modified EFE. Despite collaboration with Einstein, his theory did
not admit a symmetric outcome. Yet it influenced Einstein's work and was further developed later by
Klein in an attempt to unify relativity with quantum theory.4.6 to 4.11, in vain.

Another approach that, however, has not succeedded, is termed the Lancelot Law Whyte's unitary
field theory. Affine connection is the basis of Eddington’s approach that resorts to parallel transport

68

of vectors from one space-time point to another; assuming it to be symmetric in its covariant form.
Since the simplest cosmological model emerging from Eddington’s equations is symmetric,
Eddington’s theory has failed in the face of cosmological-astronomical evidence.

These attempts eventually centered around treating both the metric tensor8.3 and the affine
connection as fundamental fields. In general relativity, these are symmetric3.4, but since actual
electromagnetism harbors asymmetry (Cf. Einstein-Ritz Controversy [1]), the mixing issue arises.

In such field theories sub-atomic particles -- the domain of quantum theories -- appear as fenced
regions in curved space-time in which energy density is very high. Einstein and coworker Leopold
Infeld had demonstrated that, in the unified field, singularities may harbor ‘point particles’3.2; 4.6 to
4.11
. However, singularities are points where the equations may not be valid. In conclusion;
Einstein believed that in an ultimate unified theory of physiucs the same physical law would apply
everywhere-anytime, with particles being soliton-type [Volume I] solutions to the field equations.

The Standard Model3.2 unifies the description of electromagnetism, weak interactions and strong
interactions in the language of gauge theory. Quantum Chromo Dynamics [QCD] is a gauge theory
with action of SU(3) on the color triplet of quarks3.2. Non-abelian gauge theories involve asymptotic
freedom in strong interactions3.2.

The importance of gauge theories is in allowing unification of quantum filed theories of


electromagnetism3.1 with the weak and the strong forces in the Standard Model, which accurately
predicts experimental observations regarding three of the four fundamental forces of nature. For
more information see Refs. 2-4.
