... Defining Reality continues

 

Even causality is going under question. Many efforts have been directed to extending classical explanations for quantum mechanical phenomena to no avail. These paradoxes challenge our logical thinking. It seems that classical science and logic is reaching to a dead end. Our conventional logic cannot explain the new phenomena. At this point it seems that we need to drastically alter our vision and judgment in order to encompass new findings. We need to open up and revise our so-called logical thinking. Are we ready to completely revamp our rational views?

 

At this point on time we need to develop non-classical theories that can explain the unexplained. To this end, I believe, we have to expand our scope and introduce physical definitions for zeros and infinities. Unfortunately so far mainstream physics and the dominant theoretical physical theories have chosen to avoid these two fundamental elements.

 

Underneath I am introducing a model that is based on new and novel findings in science. This model is in line with Einstein's view, which presumes the presence of a sort of reality out there and incorporates Neil Bohr's view because it encompasses mind as a fundamental component of this reality.

 

Obsolete Frameworks

 

General Relativity precisely describes the motion of stars and galaxies at large scale. Quantum Mechanics on the other hand, accurately predicts and describes the strange world that we encounter while experimenting in micro scales. Ideally, they would have to work hand in hand to account for the entire reality as a whole. Unfortunately, we have not been able to find a feasible relationship between these two major domains of physics. In fact, they are currently considered incompatible. If we use the mathematics of general relativity in quantum mechanical calculations many times we encounter infinity. Since infinity cannot exist in our present model of the universe, these calculations are discarded and incompatibility is declared.

 

It seems to me that we have unconsciously decided to avoid paying heed to road signs that are erected in every step of the way. This is all done by clinging to objectivity (Tangibility). The problem is that we are using traditional judgment and logic to define this objectivity. Existing physical theories constantly circumvent singularities and infinities that frequently present themselves in experiments and calculations.

 

Maybe the time has come to discard the traditional thinking and revise our definition of logic. During 15th Century mathematicians frequently found that positive numbers could not explain all of the functions that existed in the mathematical domain. They realized that they had to expand the field to include and reach to new horizons. The new domain would be different than the one that they had been acquainted with. eventually, they extended the field to accommodate negative numbers. By doing so, many unexplained calculations could then be accounted for and subsequently understood.

 

Then once again, when faced with the square root of negative numbers (√-n), mathematicians realized that their understanding of math is not complete. So they added yet another arena. They opened themselves to the concept of the so-called imaginary numbers, although the concept was still mysterious and obscure at the time.

 

It seems that in the field of Physics, we have to explore and adapt to new horizons. Recently many new ideas have been presented in theoretical physics but almost all of them are within a kind of space-time arena. Despite the fact that known physics tells us that space, time and matter are not concrete and that most paradoxes arise when we get close to the boundaries of objective world, we still hesitate to go over the cliff.
