METARELATIONAL APPROACH TO FOUNDATIONS OF FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS

Vladimirov Y.S.

Abstract

The article is devoted to presentation of fundamentals of the metarelational paradigm based on metaphysical principles and aimed at joining the principles of three dualistic physical paradigms in the context of the relational approach. The problems of utmost importance, solvable in the framework of the metarelational approach are shown. Among these are: evidence of spinor description of particles in quantum electrodynamics; an algebraic formulation of the atomic theory; revealing the sources of the origin of classical space-time concepts; a new approach to justification of types and the properties of elementary particles involved in strong interactions; the relational approach to atomic nuclei structure description; the description of going from a prototype to the present concepts of classical space-time; a dualistic relational interpretation of classical physics; an approach to the nature of gravitational interactions alternative to General Relativity.

RELATIONAL PARTICLES AS A MEASURE OF FIELD DYNAMICS

Zhilkin A.G.

Abstract

The work examines the relationship between general relativity and gravitational mechanics from a metaphysical point of view. The analysis leads to the conclusion that curved space-time (more precisely, its curvature) is the cause of particle dynamics. A scheme of reasoning is proposed that leads to a similar conclusion for the case of relational theory. The scheme uses transitions from the metaphysical level to the ontological level and back, taking into account the one-to-one correspondence of concepts and terms. In the relational paradigm, analysis of the relationship between relational theory and field theory leads to the conclusion that relational particles (more precisely, correlations between them) are a measure of field dynamics.

INFORMATIONAL THREE-ESSENCE RESONANCE, STRUCTURE, BOUNDARY AND MEMORY IN AN OPEN COMPLEX SYSTEM

Kharitonov A.S.

Abstract

We have developed the concept of a single and holistic reality, consisting of the interaction of realized and potential events through the spontaneous occurrence of information resonance, changing three entities at once, in six ways, but maintaining the amount of realized information. The repetition of information resonance, generating a new structure, forms a boundary for a complex system and increases memory in it. We described information resonance with a symmetry equation for three classes of dynamic variables. The repetition of information resonance satisfies the recurrent equation leading to the golden proportion. Mathematical operations already with the golden ratio made it possible to introduce algebraic fractals of the golden ratio, the properties of which satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, and on their basis to derive the natural series and Euclidean geometry, bringing science closer to understanding the physics of a living organism. Between various complex systems, their own informational, energetic and material interactions arise, leading to their natural selection for survival.

ON THE FOUNDATIONS OF METAPHYSICS

Solovyev N.A.

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of establishing the main categories of metaphysics, which later unfold into the metaphysics of the Absolute, the Universe, and human. It is shown that the main categories of metaphysics are the categories of nous/Self, idea/form, substrate/pneuma. In this case, a person can be represented as an anthropic triad of Self-form-substrate, and the Absolute in the form of an absolute Trinity: absolute Self/absolute Form/absolute Substrate. At the same time, the anthropic triad can be considered as a “part” of the absolute Trinity. In the anthropic triad, the form-substrate dyad represents the physical body of a person, and the Self is an extraphysical governing authority. It is shown that the evil existing in the world is a payment for human freedom and the existence of human as a person. At the same time, human freedom is based on the possibility of choosing alternatives in the timeless world of potential possibilities of the Universe.

HISTORY OF CREATION AND METAPHYSICAL ASPECTS OF ELECTROWEAK THEORY: DEVELOPMENT AND MODIFICATIONS OF THE SYMMETRY PRINCIPLE

Vizgin V.P.

Abstract

The history of the creation of a unified theory of electromagnetic and weak interactions (electroweak theory, also called the Weinberg-Salam theory), which is an essential part of the modern theory of elementary particles and fundamental interactions between them, called the standard model, is explored. The main turning points in this history are highlighted: the concept of non-Abelian gauge fields (Yang-Mills fields, 1954), the promotion of the idea of unifying electromagnetic and weak forces (1958-1959), the discovery of the global internal symmetry of electroweak interactions (1961, S. Glashow), the discovery of based on spontaneous symmetry breaking - the Higgs mechanism (1964), which made it possible to solve the problem of the mass of gauge particles (Weinberg-Salam theory, 1967). The metaphysical aspects of the theory and the process of its construction are considered, mainly related to the principle of symmetry and its various extensions and modifications.

HISTORY AND MODERNITY OF ONE EXPERIMENT OF N. TESLA

Panchelyuga V.A., Panchelyuga M.S.

Abstract

The paper provides a brief overview of N. Tesla’s experimental work related to the wireless transmission of electrical energy. A number of experimental works are also presented, which can be considered as a direct continuation of the research begun in the works of Tesla. These experiments, in total, show the possibility of the existence of longitudinal electromagnetic waves. The most convincing evidence of the existence of longitudinal waves comes from experiments in underwater radio communications.

ON SCIENTIFIC STANDARDS IN BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES AND THE AUTHOR’S EVOLUTIONARY HYPOTHESIS OF CREATION-SALTATION PREFORMATIONISM

Sidorov G.N., Shustova O.B.

Abstract

In biological science, standards recognize the characteristics of living nature, which is an objective reality and directly observed by researchers in the past or present. The changing paradigm standards for the emergence and development of life were the following theories: preformationism (C. Bonnet), materialistic evolution (C. Darwin), biochemical evolution (A.I. Oparin - J.B.S. Haldane), “Michurin biology” (T.D. Lysenko) synthetic theory evolution (Darwinism + genetics). The following are approaching recognition as paradigms: “nomogenesis” by L.S. Berg as the natural nature of variability and the “theory of punctuated equilibrium” by N. Eldredge and S. Gould as the modern apotheosis of the diverse saltationism hypotheses - “leap-like evolution.” The authors, in 2003, proposed a comprehensive, scientific and apologetic approach to the theory of evolution, combining both materialistic and creation paradigms, putting forward the hypothesis of “creation-saltation preformationism.” 1) Organisms are created by God - creationism. 2) Created with a huge supply of genetic information - preformationism. 3) The transition of one group of organisms to another occurs in jumps, within the framework of genetic information, through the rapid deployment of this information under the influence of changes in the environment, both external and internal - saltationism. Each of the standards recognized at one time by paradigms was declared the ultimate truth, and its non-recognition was branded, at best, with the stamp of ignorance or obscurantism, at worst - with administrative and criminal prosecution. The philosophy of science is designed to help get rid of traditionalism; it is not obliged to be guided by the achievements of predecessors and can think in any original direction.

ON THE ISSUE OF VIEWS ON THE UNIVERSE AND THE PROBLEMS OF THE BIG BANG

Paraev V.V.

Abstract

A brief analysis of the fundamental problems of cosmology, the essence of space and time, and their relationship with matter is given. In the proposed concept, the main provisions are based on the understanding of matter as the only reality of what exists, including what has not yet been known. Matter is characterized by its sharp physical heterogeneity in the volume of Space and continuous development over Time. Spacetime is considered as an active medium. It plays the role of the basis of the functional connection between all natural objects. Cosmological models and the phenomenon of the “Big Bang” are discussed within the framework of ontological problems of Being.

REASONING ABOUT RATIONALITY AND SCIENCE

Fomov S.V.

Abstract

In order to clarify the concept of rationality, it is proposed to distinguish between the meaning of the word in a broad and narrow sense. Scientificity is understood as a fusion of rationality and logic. The science of modern times became possible after the abandonment of peripatetic ideals, focused on the search for final goal-setting, in favor of establishing an efficient cause. Science, based on classical rationality, studies and synthesizes only simple, mechanistic systems characterized by Laplace causality. Classical science perceives an empirical object in the form of a “black box”, functioning on the “stimulus - response” principle and is indifferent to both the nature and internal organization of the object of study. The transition of science to a non-classical type of rationality presupposes the involvement in the sphere of its interests of objects that have the form of a quantum of a complex system.

THE CONCEPTS OF ὕπαρξις and ὑπόστασις IN THE CONTEXT OF THE NEW CONCEPT OF MATTER BY JOHN PHILOPONUS

Koshelev A.V.

Abstract

This article examines one terminological distinction associated with the rethinking of the concept of matter by John Philoponus in his treatise De aeternitate mundi contra Proclum. The author of the article shows, using specific textual examples, that Philoponus uses the concepts of ὕπαρξις and ὑπόστασις, though closely, still differently, and each concept has a very specific ontological signified and a corresponding focus of signification. A clear distinction between the spheres of use of these concepts sheds light on the ontological status of matter. The redefinition of materia prima is the main theme of the eleventh book of Contra Proclum . The article demonstrates how this terminological difference is related to the ontological difference induced by the new Philoponus’ concept of matter.
