In this forum, and in the essay submitted to FQXI Essay Contest, we have concentrated on discussing the small scale phenomena of the universe of motion. While it’s certainly crucial to show the way space/time emerges from the fundamental motion of the universe, through vibration, to form the basic constituents of motion that make up the standard model (SM) and periodic elements, people are also interested, probably even more so, in the development of the new system’s concepts of large scale phenomena.
As a result, I’ve decided to enlarge the scope of the discussion of the essay in the FQXI forum, by changing the focus of the discussion on the nature of time, from the small scale to the large scale phenomena of the universe of motion. However, the editor in the FQXI forum is so limited that it makes it very difficult to carry on the discussion there. Therefore, I will post the entries here and provide a link to them there.
In the last FQXI forum entry, I explained the unit datum of the universe of motion, where the displacement of time, or space, in the unit motion, through pseudoscalar vibration, forms two, fixed, reference systems, relative to the unit motion datum. One of these is based on the 1:2 ratio, created by the oscillating spatial pseudoscalar, while the other is based on the 2:1 ratio, created by the oscillating temporal pseudoscalar. This concept is illustrated in figure 1 below:
Figure 1. Two Fixed Reference Systems Created by Pseudoscalar Oscillations.
In the spatial reference system, time progresses as a scalar. In the temporal reference system, space progresses as a scalar. SM bosons are formed as biform combinations of oscillating spatial and temporal pseudoscalars, while fermions are formed from triform combinations, as shown in figure 1 of the essay.
What is not mentioned in the essay, however, but is clearly implicit in this space/time structure of discrete units of scalar motion, is its supersymmetry, wherein every combination of the SM toy model has a counterpart in an inverse SM toy model that applies to the fixed temporal reference system.
Hence, there are two sets of combinations of bosons and fermions, and two sets of periodic elements, possible, where the difference is that one is the inverse of the other. Of course, since unit speed (c-speed) is the common boundary between the two sets of motion combinations, the two reference systems are separated by high speed motion, just as 1/2 = .5 is separated from 2/1 = 2, by a factor of four, i.e. 4 * .5 = 2.
This change in the theoretical picture has a profound impact on the cosmology of the new system. Instead of thermodynamic entropy being the major process of the physical universe, it is actually relegated to a relatively minor role, while the space/time, time/space, progression takes over the major role, as the driving force of change in the theoretical universe of motion.
Of course, the first question in any theoretical cosmology always concerns its concept of initial conditions. In the theoretical cosmology of legacy physics, the question of initial conditions is problematic, since it requires an infinitely dense, infinitely small, mathematically impossible, singularity, to start things off.
In the cosmology of the new system of theory, the initial conditions are not quite so problematic, but still require a hypothetical assumption of unit vibration in the space/time | time/space progression. Given this oscillation, however, the system provides some remarkable results, showing why the invariance of special relativity holds, and why the covariance of general relativity works so well.
Moreover, without the need for an initial hot big bang, the cosmology of the new system is cyclic, where the gravitationally condensed matter of the low-speed sector is input for the energetic subatomic gas of the high-speed sector and vice-versa, through the transformation of the high-speed vector motion of one reference system into the low-speed vector motion of the other.
Understandably, the details of how this transformation works is the subject of much research, but in general terms, it is governed by the same fundamental properties of magnitude, dimension, and direction, that determine the characteristics of the small scale phenomena that we’ve been discussing.
One of its most dramatic impacts, however, is on our understanding of the arrow of time, which we will discuss next.
