Classical physics has been developed over the centuries and has been quite effective as a base for science and technology. But many puzzles and paradoxes exist in quantum mechanics and astrophysics which cannot be solved within the context of the classical physics.
Consciousness also remains a mystery. In fact, the findings of the past century defy the principles of contemporary physics. New revelations have painted a more detailed universe and present an alternative reality that we cannot explain within the traditional axiom. A brand new physics is needed to explain the newfound reality. That is why new fundamental theories are being introduced to explain the unexplained.
In this book, I will present an alternative physical model for the universe and offer explanations for existing paradoxes based on this new concept. In this model, the space-time universe is just an approximation of a much bigger skim which originated from an unconventionally defined singularity. According to the Big Bang theory, singularity is the zero size point that has initiated our universe.
In order to better follow this model, familiarity with the concept of Complex Numbers is helpful. I will try to explain the concept in layman’s terms. Alternatively, the reader may choose to skip the math equations and just look over the derivations made. Doing so will not prevent comprehending the concept.
First, I am going to explain the basic principles of complex numbers. Our physical interpretation of different elements in complex number mathematics will be followed in this chapter and ensuing chapters as needed. The interpretations and assertions made do not necessarily apply or accepted in contemporary physics. The analysis is derived and defined on the context of this model.
Complex number can be shown in a Cartesian plane where the x-axis represents the real value and the y-axis denotes an imaginary part of a parameter.
Imaginary Numbers
What are Imaginary Numbers? These numbers were first discovered by Omar Khayyam an Iranian poet and mathematician when he discovered the quadratic equation. They are the square root of negative numbers (√-n). Known mathematics could not offer a solution for this problem because no number could be squared to a negative number (like -1). Until 16th century, mathematicians avoided imaginary numbers like a plague. However, when Italian mathematicians discovered the cubic equations, they realized that to get a real number sometimes they need to use these imaginary numbers.
Since these numbers do not point to any objective physical element, they are called imaginary numbers and is shown by the symbol i. The square of this imaginary number would be a minus number like -1.
In today’s physics we attribute imaginary numbers to qualities that are in a sense hidden from us. Or better, qualities that do not possess objectivity. However these numbers denote potentiality. If we want to bring them to reality then we need some manipulation. By squaring them we turn them to a real number that would disclose them in our objective reality and can affect the real number equations.
Mind you that while any object contains measurable parameters; it also has numerous essences that are not computable or observable. We may assume that imaginary numbers are representing qualitative aspects of an object. These qualities are the base for potentialities that in turn can evolve the object to a new state in our perception.
