Hans Widmer - The Concept of Uncompromising Humanism

–the structures that produce electrical fields are being conserved, the same applies also to the charges.

In deductive physics, the large numbers of particles that appear in high-energy collisions in particle accelerators such as the LHC in Geneva correspond to a morphologically limited number of combinations of individual possible structures (similar to the arrangement of the elements in the periodic table).

Electricity/charge

“Charge” is an assumption—all that is experienced is the electrical force field. Physics attributed a cause to this—similarly to the attribution of a mass/gravity field. In deductive physics, on the other hand, charge is produced by the dynamics of masses and does not begin in the quark as a mysterious third or two-thirds charge18. There are no charges without mass as the bearer.

An electrical field consists of hollow vortices, the angular momentum of which have elementary value ħ , which are radiated by an object19 (inductive physics: “virtual photons”). Electricity is a resonance, or quantum mechanical, phenomenon, not a further quantity from nothing.

If two radiations meet head-on, they cancel each other out if they revolve counter to one another, which has the effect of attraction similar to that of sources and sinks. If they revolve in the same direction, they displace one another with a repulsion effect.

The Maxwell equations of 1864 basically describe the quantity and movement accounting for the virtual photons, and deductive physics is able to produce them. Substituting one in the other results in the wave equation for the expansion of electromagnetic radiation (light). Magnetism results from a delayed effect of the electrical field, and is consequently a relativistic phenomenon. The ratio of the rest energy of an object mc 2 to the field energy of its charges corresponds to the fine-structure constant α = 1/13720, which makes clear the purely geometric link between electrical field and mass dynamics.

Molecules

James Clerk Maxwell,

1831–1879

Molecules add complexity—now atoms “want” to come together and amazingly approach one another, but only to a certain distance. The protons and electrons repel one another and attract one another cross-wise. This is augmented by the “centrifugal force” of the electrons, caused by their (circular) motion, which also influence one another electromagnetically. The relationships cannot be precisely calculated and an approximation on the basis of the calculable is used. On the other hand, the binding energy can be measured precisely, at around one-third4.5 eV of the energy needed to bind an electron to the proton in the individual hydrogen atom. The magnitude is plausible if one considers the distances—between the two protons are two Bohr radii plus 1%, in other words twice the distance to the proton in which the individual electron is found.

Niels Bohr, 1885–1962

Molecular structures. The atoms in H 2O, for example, form an angle of 105 degrees, and this angle has a position in space, thus defining a plane. In the example of methane, CH 4, the four hydrogen atoms are bonded to the carbon atom in a perfect tetrahedron.

Crystals also form structures, and what has been said about molecules applies likewise to these. Binding energies differ between molecules; in the living world some can be found with extremely low binding energies. Molecular structures also form the basis for all information, thus for life and ultimately the mind.

Energy and the mind

From the “raw” rest energy of an object to the binding energy of an atomic nucleus is a hundredfold reduction; from here to the energy binding an electron to its proton in the hydrogen atom is a further millionfold reduction; from there to that of the hydrogen bond a further hundredfold. Hydrogen bonds contribute to the structures of DNA and RNA and thus represent a “preliminary stage” towards the mind.

“Matter has almost no structure—information has almost no energy.”

Orders of magnitude

Humans between the Planck length and the event horizon

Neither the radius of a proton nor that of the universe (“event horizon”) merely emerge from the fundamental constants c, G and ħ . Both must be measured. String Theory builds on an even smaller dimension—the “Planck length”, the formula of which contains all fundamental constants and is considered the “smallest meaningful length”.21

All dimensions are relative; only their relationships are absolute. Logarithmically-expressed relationships with humans as a reference dimension show these to be roughly centrally located between the perceivable smallest and largest. Space and time are also only absolute in terms of relationships, such as the speed of light—what both of these remind us is that illustrations can basically only represent relationships.

Both the Planck length and the event horizon are determined by the speed of light; for both of them it holds true that, due to the flow of the continuum into the void of the universe or into a black hole, light can no longer reach the observer.

A foundation for the understanding of everything

That which manifests itself as matter relies on the rotation of the continuum in resonance; the inconceivable is reduced to the two ideas of empty space and specific continuum—and remains fundamentally inconceivable. The rest is deduction—but what do we know once we have deduced it all? We know that:

It does not make any sense to want to understand:

–What space, time and the continuum “actually” are,

–Why anything exists, not nothing,

–The reason why everything exists;

It is possible to fully observe how everything behaves:

–Imbalances are the starting point of everything in the continuum and lead to dynamics,

–Interactions within dynamics produce structures,

–People perceive structures in the form of matter and not as continuum as such,

–The universe is a dynamic of the same continuum,

–All structures, including the universe, have a beginning and an end—while space, time and the continuum are permanent as tools of the imagination;

There is a foundation for the understanding of everything, which genuinely moves people—unshakeable, clear, pure, free from all speculation, as:

–Structures are the basis of life,

–Life is raised through biological data processing to consciousness,

–Conscious beings collectively produce the culture that shapes individuals, and in which these individuals develop.
