I believe because it is absurd.

I believe because it is absurd.
/ Tertullian. (ca.160 – ca.220 AD) /
=======..
‘I believe in Physics because it’s absurd’
Would you ever say such a thing to a modern man ?
I doubt it. Most of us would be asking God’s
forgiveness for even thinking it.
But.
=============…
The basis of the physics consists of:
1.
Abstract separated absolute space and time of Newton.
2.
Abstract ‘ideal gas’ and ‘ideal particles.’
3.
Abstract ‘black body.’
4.
Abstract SRT negative 4 - dimensional space,
abstract 5D, …….and 11 - dimensional spaces.
5.
Abstract ‘virtual particles’, ‘dark matter’, ‘dark energy’.
6.
Abstract ‘ inertial movement’.
7.
Abstract ‘big bang’.
8.
Abstract " method of renormalization".
9.
Etc.
=========..
And therefore we can read.

We don't know what we are talking about"

current state of string theory./
#
It is important to realize that in physics today,
we have no knowledge of what energy is.
We do not have a picture that energy comes in little
blobs of a definite amount. ”
( Feynman. 1987)
#
When asked which interpretation of QM he favored,
Feynman replied: "Shut up and calculate."
#
When I was first learning quantum mechanics as a graduate student
at Harvard, a mere 30 years after the birth of the subject.
"You'll never get a PhD if you allow yourself to be distracted
by such frivolities," they kept advising me, "so get back to serious
business and produce some results."
"Shut up," in other words, "and calculate."
And so I did, and probably turned out much the better for it.

The problem of the exact description of vacuum, in my opinion,
is the basic problem now before physics. Really, if you can’t correctly
describe the vacuum, how it is possible to expect a correct description
of something more complex?
Paul Dirac .

“ Young man, in mathematics you don't understand things,
you just get used to them.”
/ John von Neumann ./
#
Since the mathematical physicists have taken over,
theoretical physics has gone to pot.
The bizarre concepts generated out of the over use and
misinterpretation of mathematics would be funny if it were not
for the tragedy of the waste in time,
manpower, money, and the resulting misdirection.
/ Richard Feynman./
#
" I feel that we do not have definite physical concepts at all
if we just apply working mathematical rules;
that's not what the physicist should be satisfied with."
/Dirac /

In his book ” The End of Certainty” Nobel Laureate
Ilya Prigogine wrote: "The more we know about our
universe, the more difficult it becomes to believe in determinism."
. . . and “ The quantum paradox is real nightmare for classic mind ”
#
In his book ” Quantum theory “ ( published in 2002 )
John Polkinghorne wrote:
“Quantum theory is certainly strange and surprising,…”
#
"It's an embarrassment to physicists to have such a conflict
between such well verified and accepted theories
(Quantum Electrodynamics and General Relativity).
In fact it is so painful, that most physicists don't even want
to think about it."
/ Prof. Jordan Maclay /.

======================..
The physical education.

The more I study the more I know.
The more I know the more ideas I have.
The more ideas I have the more they abstract.
The more they abstract the less I know the truth.
=====.
Some years ago I told with young physicist (!!!).
He said very confidently: ” You cannot be physicist (!)
if you cannot understand the beauty of Minkowski
mathematics.(!!!)
======.
It seems that he is right, because physicists must know
mathematics very well. The problem is that nobody
knows what is real physical meaning of “ 4-D negative
space continuum.” in the Nature. SRT is correct theory
but Minkowski space continuum is abstract. And together
they are paradoxical. More than 100 years we live with
this paradox. Nobody confuses.
==========.
During our conversation I understand that this young physicist
is strong and clever man and he want to reach success. And
I think he will do it. So, in the future he will create new
D/ M-spaces or new symmetries or discover new particles.
And one day he will be a professor and will teach new
generation ( your son or your daughter) in order that they also
have possibility to create new D/ M-spaces or new symmetries
or discover new particles. But if in the beginning the abstract
ideas were put into the fundament of physics then ……..
we can create new and new theories for 1000 years but
the result will be the same - paradoxical.

Physicists do not dictate to Nature their laws.
Laws of nature are reality, which exists independently
from the researcher. The Nature cannot be arranged so
strange, as the physicists think of it. Their thoughts
are so strange, that they offer paradoxical ideas.
#
Conclusion from some article:
" One of the best kept secrets of science is
that physicists have lost their grip on reality."
#
What is our intellect ?
We can see this practically :
after “ big bang “ all Galaxies run away from us.

Physicists and Laws.

“ In the Science the man has freedom to solve
well made crossword. ”
In this crossword physicists don’t know what Light quanta,
Electron, Energy are.

“ It is important to realize that in physics today,
we have no knowledge of what energy is.

blobs of a definite amount. ” / Feynman. 1987/ . . . .
#
"The electron that can be told is not the true electron."
/ David Harrison /
#
Etc.
And instead to understand what Light quanta, Electron,
Energy are, they try to add to the crossword of Universe
new cells and fill them with new abstract models.
For example;
on horizontal –
dark matter (The Dark Matter is another official dogma
of our astronomy. /V. H. Vergon/)
and on vertical –
string theory ( We don't know what we are talking about"
/ Nobel laureate David Gross referring to the current state
of string theory./)
Etc.
This is reason that I wrote:

The more I study the more I know.
The more I know the more ideas I have.
The more ideas I have the more they abstract.
The more they abstract the less I know the truth.

And as a result conclusion from some article:
" One of the best kept secrets of science is
that physicists have lost their grip on reality."

What does ‘ Yahoo’ mean ?
============ ===.
Gulliver’s Travels.
Part:
Gulliver in the land of the Houyhnhnms.
/ Jonathan Swift./

One of the words that the two horses said several
times sounded like ‘Yahoo ‘ . ……….
I could not understand its meaning. ………
Then I understood.
‘ Yahoo’ was the beastly creature just like a man…….
The Yahoo’s hands, feet were like mine, …….
The Yahoo’s face was like mine, but ………..
but . . . .Yahoo could not be taught ………………
============ ====..
It seems that the creators of http://www.yahoo. com/
were great jokers .
Or maybe they know how hard the people can be taught.
============ ======..
P.S.
Is the word ‘Yahoo’ similar to word ‘Google’ ?

Everybody seems to agree that "objective" science explicitly based on
supernatural mysteries is something utterly strange: it's a much stranger
doctrine than any most esoteric religion, which doesn't pretend at least
to any objectivity and logic...
And nevertheless it is precisely that kind of "objective" knowledge that
continues to be UNIQUELY (and very generously!) supported in ALL
science institutions (private initiatives including). How indeed can one
have a consistent understanding of quantum particle behaviour if that huge,
multi-billion enterprise cannot even say what the real, even simplest
elementary particle (e.g. photon or electron) actually is, in its physical
structure and dynamics, while replacing it with an abstract symbol obeying
abstract, postulated (and completely "magic"!) rules? So they end up now
with an explicit sectarian religion called "mathematical universe" and
supported by the dominating establishment priests from all the great faculties...

Realistic alternatives to that continuing math-physical delirium certainly
exist but they are rejected without discussion by the dominating, effectively
totalitarian regime (Peer Review and Co.).
So when Gisin allegedly "hopes that the work will stimulate theorists to come up
with new ways of explaining the spooky effect", he is "slightly diverging from
the truth" (or intentionally lying, to be exact!). As if he, or Geoff Blumfiel,
or anyone else may ignore the fact that those "spooky effects" and related open
trickery exist in the official science framework already for a century and nothing
ever changes, despite innumerable theoretical efforts (starting already from the
"great Einstein" with his unlimited staff) but always artificially reduced to a very
special, now rigorously specified approach of unitary science
http://arxiv.org/abs/0705.4562
See e.g.
http://arXiv.org/abs/physics/0211071

http://arXiv.org/abs/physics/0401164

for a review of fundamental physics without supernatural mysteries, a theory that
is there for a decade already, quite accessible on the web and directly developing
the ideas of the great Louis de Broglie who had clearly shown a way out of the
spooky science impasse many years ago (see http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9911107 ),
but this clearly designated "new way" (now successfully completed) remains
officially ignored, for decades, despite the formally "encouraged" search for it.
It is that kind of real science operation that "doesn’t make any sense, honestly"
and while it senselessly persists on the background of ‘ officially accepted ‘ lies,
no positive, fruitful and problem-solving knowledge development can restart,
irrespective of explicitly proposed problem solutions and realistic, consistent
and experimentally confirmed quantum-physics framework.
