IS
HUMAN LIFE MEANINGFUL, OR JUST AN ACCIDENT IN A CHAOTIC UNIVERSE? TDVP HAS THE
ANSWER.
WHY
IS THERE A STABLE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE
SUPPORTING CONSCIOUS LIFE?
If the universe we have today began with the explosion
of a tiny super-dense knot of matter, and has been expanding ever since, how is
it that we have this amazing complexity of quarks, atoms and molecules, making
up stable highly-structured compounds, organic life forms, and conscious beings
living on our little planet spinning and rotating around our sun, a
medium-sized star, in a galaxy that is just one in billions of whirling nebulae?
Nothing in the mechanics of the universe that we can directly observe, measure
and analyze indicates that this should be so.
All of the laws of physics indicate that the opposite should
be happening. In our expanding universe, the laws of thermodynamics predict ever-increasing
entropy, i.e., less and less structure, as time goes on. We have never observed
an explosion that created things more complex and structured than the thing
that exploded. We would not expect a bomb set off in a pile of raw materials,
however compactly pressed together, to produce an automobile, a television set,
or even a single useful object. So how is it that scientists think that an
explosion created all of our remarkably complex
universe that has exhibited ever-increasing complexity for at least 4.5 billion
years (the estimated age of planet Earth), from nothing, or nearly nothing, instead
of steadily decaying into nothing as the laws of physics predict?
We’re told that the more complex atoms are cooked up
in the super-hot interior of stars like our sun. But the complexity we see in
our neighborhood is not made up of those complex atoms, in fact they hardly
play any role at all in the structured reality we experience, it’s the simplest
of atoms, the hydrogen atom, by far the most abundant element in the universe,
that plays the biggest role in the creation and sustenance of life-supporting
structures in our universe. And we might ask, why and how did stars manage to
form in an exploding expanding universe? We’re also told that in a high-energy
environment, like that which must have existed just after the big-bang, a plethora
of elementary particles existed. But in our world, such particles can exist
only for nanoseconds, a blink of time, decaying rapidly. Complex radio-active
atoms and ephemeral quantum particles have nothing to do with life in our
living rooms, kitchens and backyards. So let’s not be distracted. Let’s focus
on the most stable thing in the universe, the thing that is at the heart of
every stable structure supporting life, the vehicle of consciousness: the
proton.
The Cause of Stability: The
Answer to Why there is Something Rather than Nothing
Protons and neutrons are made of up-quarks and
down-quarks, and they have almost the same mass. But protons are stable, and neutrons
are not. Why? A free neutron, i.e. a neutron not bound inside an atom, decays
in minutes. Protons, on the other hand, are the most stable things in the
physical universe. No one has ever seen a proton decay, - ever. Particle physicists who think everything decays (radioactivity
and the second law of thermodynamics), using methods that seem to work for
everything else, estimate that the
proton has a half-life of 1031 to 1036 years. The estimated age of the big-bang
universe is a little more than 1010, to be exact, 13.8 x109 years.
No wonder no one has seen one decay! If they decay at all, we’ll have to wait
more than 1021 years to witness the first proton come apart.
Spinning Objects and Symmetry
A lump of clay will be pulled apart by centrifugal
force, and pieces of it will fly off a potter’s wheel, if it is asymmetric. Because
of Newton’s third law of motion and the expansion of the universe, elementary
particles are spinning. It follows that stable elementary particles must be
symmetrical, and spinning particles made of two or more of these elementary
particles must also be symmetrical to be stable. Thus, the first thing we can
infer about the proton, the most stable thing in the universe, is that its form
must be symmetric. This also implies something about the form of up-quarks and
down-quarks, and how they combine to form the proton: They must be symmetrical spinning
objects, and they must be combined symmetrically to form protons.
Originally, I used Triadic Rotational Units of
Equivalence (TRUE) and the Calculus of Dimensional Distinctions (CoDD) to prove
that the proton could not be symmetrical, and therefore, would not be stable,
unless the up-quarks and down-quarks that comprise it contain very specific numbers
of TRUE of a third something, that
has no mass or energy, i.e., a non-physical component. We called that third something
gimmel. Later, I worked out exactly what
those TRUE amounts had to be, using straight-forward math. The details of those
determinations can be found at:
TDVP
Continues to be Misunderstood and Misinterpreted
I keep hearing and seeing statements by critics of
TDVP, and even some supporters, saying: “Gimmel is speculated to be necessary
for stable matter to exist.” There is nothing speculative about it. The
necessity for the existence of gimmel for the stability of atomic structure is
based on extremely solid empirical data from the Large Hadron Collider, sound
logic, and mathematical proof. The existence of non-physical gimmel in every
atom of the stable universe is the reason there is something, rather than
nothing. Without it, you and I would not exist as we do to discuss it.
Folks with vested interests in materialism loathe to
even look at the proof, because it refutes materialism as a basis of scientific
investigation, and mainstream scientists bridle at the mention of consciousness
having anything to do with physical reality. But no one has offered any viable substitute
explanation of gimmel. If it is not consciousness or the active agent of
consciousness, what is it?
Finally, based on the well-established empirical data
of the LHC, mathematical derivations and proofs outlined above, the following
conclusion is inescapable:
If
there was a big-bang origin event, not one stable proton could have formed in
the subsequent expanding universe without gimmel, and thus, non-physical
reality, God, primary consciousness, or whatever you want to call it, had to
have existed prior to the formation of the first atom of the physical universe.
This means that your life is meaningful and purposeful,
not just an accident in a chaotic universe. You are part of the conscious unfolding
of reality as necessary as the atoms of the periodic table.
