Some Comments inspired by Dainis Zeps' Quanta Mathematica Instrumentalis (by Matti Pitkänen): Abstract: The ideas introduced by Dainis Zeps in the article Quanta Mathematica Instrumentalis and related articles are discussed in the conceptual framework of Topological Geometrodynamics. The concrete realization for the vision about physics as mathematics is discussed in TGD context and the idea about instrumentalism as key element of mathematics and science is analyzed and criticized. Also the notions of theorem and quantum windows, higher observer, and information field are discussed. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/183

Nonlinear Theory of Elementary Particles Part IX: Physical Vacuum and Its Effect on Elementary Particles (by Alexander G. Kyriakos): Abstract: The first purpose of this article is to describe the influence of physical vacuum (PV) on the characteristics of particles (e.g. electron) and their interactions. Our second purpose is to show that all methods of calculation of this influence, which are used in quantum field theory (QFT), can be represented in electromagnetic (EM) form within the framework of nonlinear theory of elementary particles (NTEP). http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/180

Microscopes and Telescopes for Theoretical Physics: How Rich Locally and Large Globally is the Geometric Straight Line? (by Elemer E. Rosinger): Abstract: One is reminded in this paper of the often overlooked fact that the geometric straight line, or GSL, of Euclidean geometry is not necessarily identical with its usual Cartesian coordinatisation given by the real numbers in R. Indeed, the GSL is an abstract idea, while the Cartesian, or for that matter, any other specific coordinatisation of it is but one of the possible mathematical models chosen upon certain reasons. And as is known, there are a variety of mathematical models of GSL, among them given by nonstandard analysis, reduced power algebras, the topological long line, or the surreal numbers, among others. As shown in this paper, the GSL can allow coordinatisations which are arbitrarily more rich locally and also more large globally, being given by corresponding linearly ordered sets of no matter how large cardinal. Thus one can obtain in relatively simple ways structures which are richer locally and large globally than in nonstandard analysis, or in various reduced power algebras. Furthermore, vector space structures can be defined in such coordinatisations. Consequently, one can define an extension of the usual Differential Calculus.

This fact can have a major importance in physics, since such locally richer and globally larger coordinatisations of the GSL do allow new physical insights, just as the introduction of various microscopes and telescopes have done. Among others, it and general can reassess special relativity with respect to its independence of the mathematical models used for the GSL. Also, it can allow the more appropriate modeling of certain physical phenomena. One of the long vexing issue of so called “infinities in physics" can obtain a clarifying reconsideration. It indeed all comes down to looking at the GSL with suitably constructed microscopes and telescopes, and apply the resulted new modeling possibilities in theoretical physics. One may as well consider that in string theory, for instance, where several dimensions are supposed to be compact to the extent of not being observable on classical scales, their mathematical modeling may benefit from the presence of infinitesimals in the mathematical models of the GSL presented here. However, beyond all such particular considerations, and not unlikely also above them, is the following one: theories of physics should be not only background independent, but quite likely, should also be independent of the specific mathematical models used when representing geometry, numbers, and in particular, the GSL. One of the consequences of considering the essential difference between the GSL and its various mathematical models is that what appears to be the definitive answer is given to the intriguing question raised by Penrose : “Why is it that physics never uses spaces with a cardinal larger than that of the continuum?"

However, while we cannot ever pin down any specific physical reality for the reasons mentioned above, we can pin down the nature of physical reality as a whole. We cannot get to the end of a rainbow, because rainbows only appear to have an end. However, we can understand the true nature of the rainbow and understand how it is created and why it appears as it does. In the same way, although we cannot pin down any specific physical reality, we can understand the nature of physical reality as a whole, how physical reality is created and why physical reality appears as it does, if we are able to understand what it is that the phenomena of wave-particle duality and uncertainty are actually telling us about the nature of physical reality. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/179

Higgs-Free Symmetry Breaking from Critical Behavior near Dimension Four (by Ervin Goldfain): Abstract: Starting from the infrared limit of Yang-Mills theory, we introduce here a Higgs-free model in which symmetry breaking arises from critical behavior near dimension four. Electroweak bosons develop mass near the Wilson-Fisher point of Renormalization Group flow. The family structure of Standard Model is recovered using the technique of “epsilon expansion”. We also find that dimensional regularization offers a straightforward solution to the cosmological constant problem. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/175

Physical Foundation of the Theory of Fields: The Theory of Informatons (by Antoine Acke): Abstract: In the classical theory of fields the gravitational and the electromagnetic interactions are understood as the effects of “fields” on matter. Although those fields are considered to belong to the physical world, the theory remains vague about their nature: they are threatened as purely mathematical structures. In this article we propose a theory that introduces “information” as the substance of both gravitational and electromagnetic fields. The phenomena and the laws of gravito-electromagnetism and of electromagnetism can perfectly be deduced from the dynamics of the elementary entities that constitute that substance. We call these entities “informatons” and it is been shown that photons and gravitons can be identified as informatons transporting an energy quantum. The theory of informatons suggests a perfect isomorphism between G.E.M. and E.M. We will show that this - also with regard to the force laws - is compatible with special relativity.

FRW Cosmological Models in a Saez-Ballester's Scalar-tensor Theory of Gravitation (by Shivdas D Katore): Abstract: Explicit field equations of a scalar tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez and Ballester are obtained with an aid of a five dimensional FRW metric in the presence of perfect fluid source. Exact solutions of the field equations are derived when the metric potentials are functions of cosmic time only. The model reduces to curvature free (k=0) expanding stiff fluid cosmological model. Some physical and geometric properties of the solutions are also discussed. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/178

Finding God in the Universe (by Robert H. Kettell): Abstract: Maybe the solution lies with our consciousness. It seemed that while consciousness must be based on the brain’s functions, it might hold the possibility of communicating beyond our brain and body. If this is the case our consciousness may be the link to God I was seeking. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/113

How to Prove that There Is a God, God Is Real & the Universe Needs a God (by Himangsu S. Pal): Abstract: Previously, I have not examined as to whether there can be any alternative explanation for the properties of light other than God. In this essay, I will do that by showing that the only explanation that can be there for the properties of light is that there is a God. I will also show that God is real, the Universe needs a God and why the Total Energy of the Universe Is Zero. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/114

Reality Out of Total Simultaneity (by Wilhelmus de Wilde): Abstract: In this essay, I put forward the hypothesis of Total Simultaneity (“TS”), a “fifth” dimension behind the Wall of Planck reality at which we pass the limits of causality at the quantum scale and “Now” as we perceive no longer exists. TS can be reached by every point of our 4 dimensional universe and singularities only exist in our consciousness. The other limit of causality is the local speed of light c at which time stands still so there is no more before and after. All information of all parallel universes and multiversity constitution in TS is simultaneously present and available, our consciousness is able to align points out of the TS and so create the observable analogue universe that we are aware of. The totality of information from other universes (also partly observable by other consciousness) is influencing our linear causal deterministic universe, the origin of gravity, dark matter, and the dark energy may emerge from here. The Big Bang is an imaginary non-existing point in the TS area. Inflation is avoided by projecting inflation time into the area after the Wall of Planck, uniformity in the structure of space-time is also guaranteed. Our mind with its 100 billion neurons is able to cope with infinities because it has parallels with the qualities of TS. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/115

The Experience of Unity at the Origin of Religion, Philosophy, and Psychology, and at the Ultimate Horizon of Physics, Cosmology, and Consciousness (by Kurt Dressler): Abstract: The experience of unity lies at the origin of consciousness research, of religion, of philosophy, of psychology: Today we note with puzzlement that the horizon of physics and cosmology, too, wants to converge onto unity. Do these parallel developments point to deeper, hidden, meaningful interconnections? Does all this touch on the problem of unification between the realms of the rational and conscious with the realms of the spiritual and hidden? In my own personal experience the unity of physical reality and consciousness reveals itself not in equations nor in a theory but in a way of thinking and living. There is no need to unify mind and matter because they are a unity already. The sooner I realize this, and the sooner I adjust my way of thinking and living to this insight, where-ever I believe I have encountered a conflict, the sooner I experience the healing power of this way of thinking. I used to believe that I am responsible for my way of living, for what I do, for my actions, but not for what I think. But the truth is that we are responsible for our thoughts, because our actions flow out of what we think. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/110

Science & Faith: Preconditions for a Unifying View (by Kurt Dressler): Abstract: A fruitful dialogue between science and religion presupposes a frame of thought which is free from ideological prejudice and rigid beliefs. This implies an understanding of science and a religiosity which is developed and deepened to the level at which there is no longer a sharp boundary between scientific knowledge and religious truth. Religious faith can become as consistent with our experience as our scientific knowledge. The foundation of faith then is the very Truth which lies at the basis of our existence and of the whole of everything. The scientific and religious worldviews no longer are two separate views but a unified one. The whole of the universe - space, time, matter, energy, spirit, individual consciousness and the whole of consciousness - in truth is one undivided whole. To our mind it consists of individual objects. But any 'complete physical theory (of objective nature) would be a temporary product of philosophically completely self-satisfied physicists'. Within the undivided whole, Truth keeps re-emerging as original, dynamic and authentic experience. And Truth is personal: By identifying themselves with the deeper Truth that lies at the foundation of this wonderful universe, scientists would regain their dignity as human beings and as responsible participants in the ongoing process of creation. Preconditions for such a unified view are discussed here. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/111

The Fringe-Nucleus Interface of Consciousness: Relevance to the Integrated Phenomenal Experience Elicited by Poetry (by David Sahner): Abstract: Parallels are drawn between sensorial consciousness, using visual consciousness as an exemplification, and the phenomenal experience of poetry. William James‟ distinction between the nucleus and fringe elements of consciousness, as extended by Bruce Mangan, is used as a framework that naturally lends itself to the identification of homologies with poetics. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/146

Toward a Science of Consciousness 2011: The Greatest Show on Earth (by Christopher Holvenstot): Abstract: A review of the 18th annual TSC interdisciplinary conference on consciousness sponsored and organized by the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona and supported by the Perfjell Foundation of Sweden. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/147

Levitation during Meditation: A Scientific Investigation (by Pradeep B. Deshpande, B. D. Kulkarni, S. S. Aroskar, S. N. Bhavsar): Abstract: The phenomenon of human levitation while in the state of meditation has been investigated from a six sigma perspective. Using the forces of gravitation and buoyancy, we provide scientific explanation for the phenomenon and derive balancing condition for neutrality beyond which the gravitational forces can be overcome. Direct experimental evidences in the form of snapshots in time giving the details as one progresses into meditation as well as a link to video records of persons in the state of levitation are provided. Indirect evidences and ancient writings appear to be consistent with the mechanics of levitation. Reputable scientific publications have been reporting on the characteristics and benefits of meditation for some years. The work reported herein appears to add to an increasing body of evidence on the variety of measurable outcomes of meditation. http://2012daily.com/?q=node/add/article

A Model of Human Consciousness (by Robert H. Kettell): Abstract: It has been difficult to define human consciousness because of its many differing qualities and because of various views people have of consciousness. It is proposed that these multiple vantage points be united into a single three-dimensional model utilizing breadth, time and depth. This model could provide a more comprehensive definition of consciousness and encourage an exploration of the interplay of consciousness’ many features. Such a model may also help answer some of the many questions that the concept of consciousness creates.

Meanwhile, Philip E. Gibbs reported on 06/10/2012 at the viXra log that "now the computer grid will light up as ATLAS and CMS push through the analysis for the Higgs and SUSY plots in time to get them approved for the massive ICHEP conference in one months time." See here http://blog.vixra.org/2012/06/10/lhc-prepares-for-ichep/ According to Gibbs, "The schedule of talks shows that each experiment will be giving detailed talks for each individual Higgs channel (plus possibly a new H -> Z+γ analysis) using 2012 data at 8 TeV leading up to the final combinations for each experiment. They will leave it up to bloggers to complete the full combination. It is likely that they will fall just short of discovery significance in diphoton channels and combined plots for each experiment. The full combined significance for the LHC will probably pass the 5 sigma finish line but no official combination will show that. This is not certain because the statistical fluctuations are not predictable."

Nonlinear Theory of Elementary Particles Part VIII: Nonlinear Quantum Electron Equation (by Alexander G. Kyriakos): Abstract: The derivation of nonlinear quantum electron equation in the framework of nonlinear theory of elementary particles (NTEP) is presented. It can help to understand many aspects of the quantum description of elementary particles. In particular, it is shown that the field self-action is “the mechanism”, which introduces the mass into the quantum electron equation. This mechanism has a similarities with the Higgs mechanism of mass generation, however it is not needed a Higgs boson. The results of the experiments, which were set until now, to find the Higgs's boson, are negative. At the same time the NTEP has not difficulties, which will appear in Standard Model theory, if Higgs's boson is not discovered. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/169

The Solution of the “Light Clocks Paradox” (by Amrit S. Sorli, Dusan Klinar, Davide Fiscaletti): Abstract: In the 20th century, physics has understood space and time as being coupled into a “space-time”, a fundamental arena in which everything takes place. Space-time was considered to have three spatial dimensions and one temporal dimension. Out of the mathematical formalism for the fourth space-time component X4 = ict one can conclude that time t is only a numerical order of material change, i.e., the motion that we obtain with clocks. Time is not a 4th dimension of space. For the description of the Special Theory of Relativity it is here proposed an Euclidian 3D space whilst time t is merely a numerical order of a photon motion in a 3D space. This view solves the “light clock paradox”. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/170

Bianchi Type-III Cosmic Strings and Domain Walls Cosmological Models in Self-creation Cosmology (by Shivdas D Katore, A. Y. Shaikh, M. M. Sancheti, N. K. Sarkate): Abstract: Bianchi type-III space-time is considered in the presence of cosmic string source and thick domain walls in Barber’s (Gen. Relativ. Gravit. 14:117, 1982) Second self-creation theory of gravitation. With the help of special law of gravitation for Hubble’s parameter proposed by Bermann (Nuovo Cimento 74 B: 182, 1983) cosmological models with negative constant deceleration parameter are obtained. It is interesting to note the cosmological models, obtained in both the cases, are identical. Some physical and kinematical properties of the models are discussed. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/167

Nonlinear Theory of Elementary Particles Part VII: Classical Nonlinear Electron Theories and Their Connection with QED (by Alexander G. Kyriakos): Abstract: In this article of nonlinear theory of elementary particles (NTEP) a review of the nonlinear field theories in the framework of classical electrodynamics is presented. It is shown that the results found within these theories can be transferred to quantum theory. These results can also help us to understand many aspects of the quantum description of elementary particles. In particular, they explain why electron can be interpreted as a point and non-point particle simultaneously. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/168

Koide’s Formula Follows from Nonlinear Dynamics of Quantum Fields (by Ervin Goldfain): Abstract: In this brief report we argue that Koide’s formula arises from universal attributes of nonlinear dynamics in field theory. Feigenbaum scaling not only provides a natural paradigm for generating particle masses and coupling charges, but also a basis for understanding the family structure of fermions. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/165

Bianchi Type-III Cosmological Model with Negative Constant Deceleration Parameter with Wet Dark Fluid in Brans-Dicke Theory of Gravitation (by Kishor S. Adhav, A. S. Nimkar, M. R. Ugale, R. S. Thakare): Abstract: Bianchi type-III space time is considered in the presence of wet dark fluid source in the scalar-tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Brans and Dicke (Phys. Rev. 124:925, 1961). With the help of special law of variation for Hubble’s parameter proposed by Bermann (Nuovo Cimento 74B:182, 1983) a cosmological model with negative constant deceleration parameter is obtained in the presence of wet dark fluid with disordered radiation. Some physical and kinematical properties of the model are also discussed. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/146

Unified Reality Theory in a Nutshell (by Steven E. Kaufman): Abstract: Unified Reality Theory describes how all reality evolves from an absolute existence. It also demonstrates that this absolute existence must have consciousness as an attribute that's intrinsic to its being. Thus, it shows that consciousness, rather than being a product of the evolution of physical reality, is itself the source of what we experience as physical reality and that physical reality is itself but one aspect of an evolving universal consciousness. Ultimately, Unified Reality Theory uses science and logic to demonstrate that God exists, as a pervasive and absolute consciousness that transcends the realities of space and time, and that we, as well as everything else, are that. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/107

Unified Reality Theory: Relational-Matrix Model (by Steven E. Kaufman): Abstract: Our modeling of space-time as a structure must include an analysis and description of these two complementary aspects, i.e., something that exists, and the way that something is arranged into a structure. What space-time is made of we will analyze and describe in terms of spatial content. How that content is arranged we will analyze and describe in terms of spatial construct. Thus, In this article, we will describe the behavior of spatial content within the context of a defined spatial construct. This description will leave us with a model of space-time as a dynamic structure. We will call this model the relational-matrix model. This model will provide a framework that we can use to visualize the relationships between physical phenomena which we know must somehow be related but for which we currently lack the symbolic conceptual abstractions necessary to link together as a unified whole. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/108
