Beschreibung

Does physics really allow complex life or are we already off track with our formulas and equations? Is it possible that higher life up to humans could develop out of themselves, just as the laws of physics are laid out, or is something very decisive missing? In this book, we follow the basics of our understanding of the world and take completely different paths, which describe reality much more clearly and comprehensively than the standard models are able to do.

A child in virtual space

Our conception of the world, our thinking, our way of understanding things, is closely connected with the earth and our body, our physicality in the complex diversity of life. Our mind, our consciousness, our feeling to be there, to feel our inert mass, do not emerge anew from nothing every time. No, the whole process of creation of a new citizen of the earth is much more complex and multi-layered and at the same time anchored on the deeper atomic levels in a network that goes far beyond our imagination. Moreover, the history of mankind and of all life on earth is contained in the genes.

Children need an inspiring environment. The earth, the plants, animals and fellow human beings on it, offer an atmosphere that is exactly in tune with our powerful spirit, so that in the brains of the children, a picture of the world, with all its incomprehensible diversity, is formed. And this even in a way that is almost lustful for them. The size, the scale of the objects around us, also shapes our understanding of the world. So we can only understand bodies if we have touched them often enough as a small child, felt their mass, their inertia and developed a feeling for them. Perhaps it is theoretically conceivable to let a child grow up only in virtual space. It is very doubtful whether this really works, but a mind developing in this way would have completely different ideas of reality. For him then fantastic worlds could have much more reality. And his ideas, his spectrum of possibilities from which the world could be created, would be much broader than ours. A human being who knows only zeros and ones as the basis of his reality would have much less trouble with the thought that everything came into being out of nothing or that there are indeed an infinite number of possible combinations of zeros and ones, but they have no firmness, no hardness and reality for him lies only in their scheme of order. Even death or destruction would have a completely different meaning for a person in virtual space. With him, whole, multi-layered, connected worlds, simply deleted, can be removed as a whole package. For us, who grow up in the gravitational field of the earth, in which there are solid materials that have a great resistance and can be very painfully opposed to our forces or liquids that embrace us, such as water or matter, such as air that can be breathed, for us the resulting thinking is shaped by these experiences. We feel the cold, we hear the world and see the light. Our body, and in feedback to it our brain, is optimally equipped for life and survival in this world. We can calculate the trajectory of an arrow so intuitively that it actually hits a distant target. In the same way, we can recognize a familiar voice from the jumble of sounds. We have within us a fixed idea of masses, movements and force effects; an abundance of stored processes that give us orientation in the world. To be so firmly anchored to the earth, we needed reality as small children. We had to touch things, observe them and act with them. This enabled us to adjust to the liveliness of this earth in the shortest possible time. What we lose in the process is the openness for diverse world systems, how they could come into being and what their basis is. If the basis of all being is different from our normal reality, this has no effect on our life, but would mean that we find it very difficult to understand such foreign ideas. We would have little or no access to them and therefore could not evaluate them well. Results from experiments or theoretical considerations we would then simply accept without criticism because we lack a feeling for the connections and the correctness in this area. We would argue very logically rationally, which is always one-sidedly analytical, because on the rationally conscious level we cannot grasp complex interrelationships as a whole. But fortunately we have learned to write down our knowledge or to pass it on in another way. This way we can spend years studying knowledge on specific topics and thus slowly develop a feeling for the correctness of an idea.

Knowledge is not inherited, it must be passed on by our ancestors and learned sometimes playfully, sometimes laboriously. Actually, the way the brain is set up makes it easy for us to learn new things. Our brain is physically networked with all muscles, all organs and all senses and grasps things in a playful way, understands the environment, learns from other knowledge, in order to later understand complicated problems and find solutions for them independently. The only difficulty today is that we are supposed to learn more and more knowledge for which we see no sense and the brain, on the other hand, massively refuses to store something for which it feels no interest or enthusiasm. We need some kind of emotional reference to what we are supposed to learn, otherwise we do not absorb what we have experienced.

But our brain can not only store, it can also solve problems. In the conscious state, however, it is very sluggish and slow, and we find it difficult to deal with extremely tricky networked problems. We can only understand the world in the conscious state if the objects are available in a familiar form, if they can be explained without any break from a typical everyday logic. We humans always start from scratch as newborns with a similar brain structure, but through accumulated knowledge and increasing technology, we achieve an ever more sophisticated networking of nerve cells, potentially leading to an ever higher level of intelligence - modern intelligence. To find one's way in the deepest jungle of the Amazon and to go hunting with only a bow and arrow, to kill animals or to know the effect of the most different leaves, mushrooms, berries or whatever, clearly also requires a form of intelligence of its own, but for which there is no use in our highly technical society. It is all the more astonishing that the same brain is able to penetrate abstract calculations and from this to make a reference to reality, just like orienting oneself in the desert. The decisive factor is what we use it for every day in our lives.

It may be sobering that despite all the levels we have reached, we have to die after a reasonable time, nature knows no mercy. We must always laboriously pass on our knowledge to the next generation. We grow, but we also age. Death has been with us from the cradle. Apparently, this is the only way to ensure that with all this knowledge not only a crystalline intelligence will mature, which even if it has understood everything that is possible, will remain in these familiar structures in the long run. Every newly acquired higher level must be passed on to beings who grow up with this basis as knowledge. Only in children and young people is the intelligence still fluid enough to grow up with the new, as with a mother tongue, in order to be able and want to take further creative, i.e. new paths from this familiar basis. For all the experience and wisdom that older people can have, their willingness to try out other, foreign ways is blocked by the many internalized knowledge and their great life experience. It makes them easily arrogant, unteachable and they feel superior to the young inexperienced, but they no longer have the strength to take risky ventures, to engage in conflicting, daring ideas. They defend their position and their power, even if they feel that not everything is as they would like it to be. So death is also a blessing and our survival, our superiority is connected with the fact that we do not freeze in once written laws. Between a life in the jungle and modern life in a metropolis there are worlds apart. What were once the gods are now the idols of science and technology. One may regret it or expect a technical future with joy, but if we do not want to remain in the present state forever, only our children can help us to move forward. They are the only ones who can adapt optimally to the constantly changing conditions.

In order for us to free ourselves from the limited logic here on earth in everyday life, we must also move away from our familiar surroundings. A pre-human, who only knows his tree in its limited area in the jungle, who only lives, eats, grows and dies in his clan, will not get a view for the world outside the jungle, for many things that there is also to discover. As long as people in Europe still thought the world is a disc and one fall off at the edges, as long knowledge and the resulting world view remained at its level. But with the discovery of foreign countries and continents or the interest in generally valid, logical connections beyond everyday life, the horizon broadened and we were increasingly able to understand connections that are of a universal nature. Laws which in their pure form are not realized on earth, but which are nevertheless hidden behind diversity. For example, Galilei was able to observe other stars with his telescope, around which bodies also rotated, just like in a planetary system. He was the first to see Jupiter and its many moons, and none of the smaller and larger rocks, which were held in their orbits by the mass of Jupiter, were somehow interested in the Earth. It sounds so insignificant to us, but to the ears of the people of that time it was outrageous. So there were also other stars around which something revolved? So the earth was no longer the centre of everything, although the church preached this for a thousand years? There were indeed only a few ridiculous moons that moved around Jupiter, but the divine harmony was attacked with it, the perfection of the old constructed idea of the world was destroyed. Galilei experimented and questioned, once becoming suspicious, everything that had been assumed so far and established his own laws. But the decisive effect of this new perspective was a fundamental change in society. Despite his authority as a scientist far beyond Italy, the authorities could still forbid him to broadcast his ideas, but they did not stop the change in social thinking. Globally, in terms of time, a few years sooner or later play no role. One generation later, no one can ban the correctness of an idea for which the burden of proof has become unbearable. For the growing children, the foundations of the old, once recognized as wrong, are no longer acceptable. Their power dwindles with age and the following generations are ambitious and full of drive and go their own ways. And yet some mistakes last longer and others have only a short life span. In complex, interconnected societies, the future can only be predicted vaguely, and it does not always run steeply upwards. For example, before National Socialism, Germany was one of the world's leading countries in the field of culture and science, especially physics. After the war there was little left of it and America gladly took over the gap we left behind and has developed until today, to become by far the most powerful empire, which also holds a leading position in science. It is precisely this high degree of complexity which, conversely, means that potentially anyone can be like a butterfly whose wing beat in China, leads to a hurricane in our country. It is impossible to predict who will say and think the right thing at the right moment and be flushed far up the ladder. What is decisive, however, is not the correctness of his ideas, but also many secondarily favourable conditions on which nobody has any influence because they are so difficult to oversee and too many mechanisms are involved. Nor do the right ideas or the right people always become successful or even famous. The history of mankind is full of false rulers and truths. Man is also a master in lying and scheming. Sometimes one would like to let time run backwards to correct what happened afterwards. That we cannot and never will be able to do this is a blessing nevertheless, because in all our efforts to accept only good and right things, we would probably ruin the earth even faster than we already do. It is just a beautiful idea that everyone always wants the best for all people. In fact, most people want to rise above their fellow human beings. Wealth and great power is also always an expression of inequality. Such positions are generally not achieved through altruism and excessive philanthropy. So what if the powerful man at the top could use time to his advantage?

The power of intuition

Our current level of knowledge, our ability, what mankind has already achieved is breathtaking. The last generation can always fall back on an enormous wealth of experience from all the generations before us. We do not have to invent the wheel again and again. And it has never been easier to have access to the entire knowledge of mankind so easily. It is now possible with a small smartphone to access knowledge anytime and anywhere. The problem today is no longer that one is locked out of knowledge or that only an elite circle has access to it. Today we are faced with the problem of evaluation. Who or what decides what is right, who can we trust. What is fake news, is there a conspiracy theory behind it, or are we really learning secret material that should be covered up? Factual knowledge is no longer of great value, but if we want to evaluate reports and opinions, we need a basic knowledge that is not just isolated chunks, but that is sensibly networked with many other areas. It is again up to us how the threads come together, even if the computers take over the preparatory work, the sorting and filtering. From this point of view, despite all the navigation systems, we need our own orientation, our intuition, if we do not want to fall out of the whole and leave the world to a machine. There is also the danger that the administration of knowledge will be controlled by individual large corporations, which first of all want to make money with the power over knowledge. We have the access, we have the opportunities, but we should be aware that we are still influenced and manipulated.

Our conscious brain is not really multitasking. We can seemingly do some easier procedures at the same time, but the full conscious concentration is only for one object at a time. Instead, hundreds, even up to thousands of processes run simultaneously in the background, on the unconscious level. Our brain is not only extremely powerful and thus far superior to any computer, it also craves to be fed with ever new tasks. Isolation or massive exclusion from society can be as destructive as physical violence. We need tasks, challenges against which we can measure ourselves and grow, the younger the more of them. Surprisingly, the brain, with only about 60 watts of power compared to a machine, consumes a minimum of energy. With the right networking and years of training, our intuition for classifying and evaluating facts is far superior to any computer in accuracy and speed. In addition, unlike a high-performance computer, we are also self-sufficient and can move far beyond our local environment. At least on earth there is no spatial restriction.

Our knowledge of the world today is enormous and reaches far back in time. This knowledge has almost exploded, especially in the last centuries and decades. But our physical perfection, our genetic heritage, goes back much, much further. Our present body contains the knowledge and perfection of billions of years of formed matter. The interaction of each individual cell with the whole and our body in connection with the world is so optimal that one really wonders why we have not only become a single individual, but why there are so many of us. How can there be so many, so perfect people on earth?

Not only has it been possible to create a masterpiece of life with an outstanding spirit over the billions of years, but there are so many of us that we can allow ourselves the luxury of making war with each other and even pose a threat to life in general on earth.

If one would judge humans from the outside purely mathematically statistically, then the present time, seen from the mathematical logic, would already be our climax. The probability of being born as a human being at some point in time, seen from the beginning of mankind to its possible end, is at its highest exactly now, when there are also the most people. The chance of being born as a prehistoric man or as one of the few people in the distant future is very small. Looking back over many centuries, compared to today, there were only a few people. The chance to be born then is statistically much lower than today, when there are more than 7 billion of us. If life is also determined only by chance, then a normal distribution should result, in which we belong to the environment of the maximum and then the number of people should soon decrease dramatically again. So we can only hope that life is more than just a mathematical coincidence.

New paths in physics

Physics hopes to be a pure, scientifically rational science, which draws its knowledge from experience, i.e. from experiment, and tries to formulate the results in mathematically exact equations. It hopes to be as objective as possible. But physics is also a science that has evolved over time, in which one thing is based on another. It depends on the extent to which human thinking is currently developed. But, with all the objectivity it strives for, it also finds it difficult to leave a path once taken or to try out new paths again and again; a typical human behaviour. The respect for the old, proven knowledge is deep. In most cases, new experimental findings are only adapted to existing theory. The old ideas are kept as long as possible. So it was all the more astonishing that a real break in the world view could prevail with the theory of relativity and quantum theory. On the one hand, the knowledge gained from the many experiments was probably overwhelming, so that even a conservative Max Planck of the establishment with stomach ache introduced a portion-wise transfer of energy, even felt compelled to introduce it. The young Einstein and then others courageously took up this idea and further developed the fragile seed of quanta. The fact that Einstein took the phenomenon of quantum energy transfer for granted made the older Professor Planck turn his attention to this unknown young man and thus also to his other work, namely that of special relativity theory. There was a feedback between the two of them and their work, which was very successful for their careers as well as for the birth of the extremely strange two great new theories. A leap in development, but which also presupposed that the time was ripe, that thinking was at all open to such new, previously so absurdly foreign thoughts. One finds these leaps not only in physics. They are important, but also very rare. They are the moments when an overdue development suddenly makes a jolt. The unworldly conditions of quantum physics and the theory of relativity could only be found when mental development and experimental precision were mature enough for them. But then there was no way back and things took their course. Einstein is a special, very creative personality. Sooner or later others would have discovered the relativity of space and time, but Einstein formulated and wrote it down with a great sensitivity for physical relationships in nature. At the same time, without the authority of a Max Planck, this loner Einstein would easily have been overlooked. Einstein was an original and an inspiration to physics and physicists precisely because he was so special. To this day, he continues to be a source of inspiration that many take as a model.

They exist, these leaps in the history of science, the discovery of the wheel, the book press or the transistor, but the edifice of science in general builds slowly and steadily, one on top of the other, and then it is difficult, very difficult to leave a path once taken. Even theories and constructs of thought become sluggish and cumbersome with the degree of development and age. In the beginning one is still open for many alternative ideas and even ready to collapse all again if the problems are too big, the results too inappropriate, but once a good basic structure has been worked out and have been brought many personalities to the top, then it is very difficult to turn and change anything on the foundation. Only people at the very top with a lot of power and influence could still make a difference, but mostly they are now the determiners not the movers anymore. They are the ones who hold on to their truths, who defend them. Only when empiricism is overwhelming would they give up their resistance. Only, a clear proof for a fundamental error in a theory will be more and more difficult to find, the more the theory is developed and the more a multitude of other results fit perfectly. One has the feeling that quantum mechanics is absolutely correct. If, one believes, there would still be improvements in the theory of relativity; that it is not complete, it would have to be expanded. That both theories are correct is impossible, because in the micro range the world runs clearly by leaps and bounds, which is assumed to be infinitely fine in the theory of relativity. And yet both theories have been based on this since their inception over a hundred years ago. They are being expanded, improved and developed step by step, at ever greater expense and with ever greater mathematical sophistication, without fundamentally introducing anything completely new. The theories are increasingly adapted to experiments. Put a new fact on top of a knowledge, without wanting to change the old one. One interprets gravitational lensing as proof of an unknown dark matter or a galaxy spinning too fast, one solves it with a matter that nobody has ever seen before, but which one nevertheless assumes speculatively, in order not to have to change anything in the foundation of the old, tried and tested. One builds a very own science behind a statistical observation of the fuzziness of our matter and all physical being. One leads endless philosophical discussions about the strange consequences resulting from it, before one is ready to give up any quantity, which in the result then again would make connections explainable. Quantum theory and the theory of relativity are wonderful, no doubt. There is nothing better to correctly predict countless phenomena to describe them correctly. But even they are not the Holy Grail. They too must be interchangeable, if at some point they only lead to ever more confusing ideas such as quantum foam and string theory, or a big bang, dark energy and dark matter, no sooner do we want to describe what lies behind them.

The continuity of our reality

Our conscious, problem-solving thinking is very much oriented towards the world we live in. Our body is solid, it consists of matter that resists any change of movement. The more mass we have, the more force we need to set it in motion or change its direction. We never observe a break in the movement, that it makes a jump. The continuity of our reality is confirmed again and again by our everyday life and shapes our thinking about the things of being. There must always be something constant afterwards, moving through an empty space, in a temporal sequence, and able to influence other bodies. Our brain also creates fantastic images and lets us experience virtual worlds in which completely different laws apply, which are much freer. Even in the virtual space of a computer or a film we can create very convincing, imaginary images of reality. But our brain knows exactly how to distinguish between these two worlds. We generally know when something is only fantasy and when something is reality, otherwise all gamers would have to run amok. Whether our physical, real world is just a gigantic game of even more highly developed beings is another question and can be compared more with the search for an almighty God than with the question of what the rules of this world are. Worlds have already been thought up in which everything is just a huge simulation, in which we are just figures of even higher beings and in which the uncertainty principle is the limit of the simulation. If this is so, then it would not be easy for us to prove the opposite. But whether it is the rules of a god, the rules of a virtual computer world or the idea we have of reality, it doesn't matter. We are interested in the laws, what controls and holds the world together and not who or what created it. As we are of the opinion that only the tangible, only our worlds of experience are the basis of our laws of reality, it is not surprising that these pictures are also oriented towards reality. And this is where the difficulties begin, because we live and think not detached from our environment. Yes, we ourselves consist of the matter we investigate, which is perhaps one reason for the difficult to understand connections in the elementary. In the range of orders of magnitude as we experience them, the laws seem to work without contradiction, as our common sense confirms to us every day. The laws of classical physics can be explained by the ideal regularity behind the chaotic processes. Until the end of the 19th century, physics could also have been a gigantic clockwork, driven by an enormous amount of energy that was released at the beginning and which now continues to run until it is used up. But then the researchers penetrated deeper and deeper into the basic structures of matter and what they found was no longer simple and coherent to explain and it no longer corresponded to what we knew from our familiar world. So it turned out that the unchangeable course of time was only a question of accuracy. If you look at the course of time on extremely sensitive clocks, then suddenly every movement had its own time course. And masses, larger and smaller ones also influence what we assumed to be the foundation of stability - time. Nothing could stop the aging process, or so it was thought. Everyone must die at some point, something that connected all people, rich or poor, president or beggar - that was not to be as absolute as we always believed so surely?

The same applies to the atoms and elementary particles we found. They too did not behave like little indestructible balls that fly through space like billiard balls, behaving according to the laws of mechanics, just like on a large scale. So they strictly followed the law of conservation of momentum and energy and could be identified at any time and any place. Atoms suddenly behaved quite differently. They showed no fixed structure, they still had colour charges and spins, they were only allowed to stay in certain rooms and were reluctant to be looked at more closely, otherwise they would forget where they wanted to go. Their energy is only released in portions, in fixed sizes or not at all. And on the one hand they have a round shape, with a certain volume, on whose surface the charge lies, on the other hand they seem to be point-like again, almost without expansion. Suddenly, our light is no longer just a wave phenomenon, but behaves almost exactly like the particles of matter, only without mass. They are now called photons and they move on a field, which however has no reality. For lack of a better explanation, physicists have long since given up trying to explain this contradiction. One describes what one sees and no longer questions it. They are content with controlling the world of particles again. One knows what happens with a certain behaviour and can quantify it. The formulas are correct and you have a suitable equation for every phenomenon. Perhaps these many constants and equations cannot be standardized either? They are just there and done.

Georges Lemaître and Albert Einstein

But, do things on the lowest, most elementary level have to look like in our macroscopic world? Must the objects be round or must they all have been created at once? Do they all have to have the same mass always and everywhere or are there no other ways to explain a world structure that corresponds to the observations?
