Perspective of Relative Physics: Newtonian Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics
Importance of Solids
I’ve been pondering the origins of life and the mechanics of intelligence. I’ve come to realize the significance of solids, which maintain structure statically, can be discretely recognized, and behave deterministically over time.
The surface of the Earth, where life emerged, is a relatively rare place in the universe where solids are commonplace. Not only the importance of water, but the existence of solids is crucial for life. While flexibility and ambiguity often capture the spotlight when discussing intelligence, structured and rule-based entities akin to solids, such as mathematics, logic, and language, are at the core of knowledge.
Solids are formed when units bind together. These bonds create structure. And these structures possess the ability to exist across time, preserving information. From the standpoint of information, a structure is a memory.
Thus, I’m keen to delve deeper into the properties centered around physical solids.
Binding of Two Entities
Solids are formed when multiple atoms bond. The distinction between solids and liquids is not in the type of atom but in the presence or absence of bonds.
To focus on this binding, I consider the relative physics of multiple entities. The essence of relativity lies in the relationship between two entities.
Let’s first define some terms:
Relative Distance: Distance between two entities.
Relative Axis: An axis passing through the central points of the two entities.
Relative Orthogonal Axis: An axis passing through each entity’s central point and perpendicular to the relative axis.
Relative Twist: Rotation centered around the relative axis.
Relative Rotation: Rotation centered around the relative orthogonal axis.
When two entities are not bound, they are relatively free. The relative distance, twist, and rotation all have freedom.
Next, let’s consider when two entities are bound.
If bound at just one point, the distance between the entities is constrained, leaving no freedom in the relative distance. However, with a one-point bind, there’s no constraint in the direction of the twist. Thus, freedom around the relative axis remains. Relative rotation, however, is constrained.
When bound at two points, the twist around the relative axis is constrained. If there’s a repulsive force acting between the two entities even when bound, all relative freedoms are lost.
Binding of Three Entities
Next, consider three entities: A, B, and C.
If A and B are bound at one point, and B and C are bound at one point, but C and A are not bound, then A and C have freedom in the direction of their twist relative to B.
Furthermore, if C and A also bind at one point, the freedom of twist direction is lost. When the three entities each bind at a single point, all degrees of freedom are lost.
Loops and Solids
This shows that, whether with two or three entities, if the bindings form a loop, all freedoms are lost.
In the case of atoms, bond structures forming this loop create rigid solids.
Quantum Entanglement
Returning to the example with two entities, a single point of binding constrains distance and rotation but leaves freedom in the twist.
Expanding on this idea, consider a situation where twist and rotation are constrained, but there is freedom in relative distance.
This peculiar situation is not typically observed. A point that constrains twist and rotation without constraining distance goes beyond normal spatial binding. This can only occur in the quantum world. Probably, this phenomenon is akin to quantum entanglement.
Hypothesis on Quantum Entanglement
Quanta possess both particle and wave properties. The wave spreads spherically in space.
When you observe this spherical wave by colliding it with another quantum, the position is determined at a single point on the sphere as a particle. Until it is observed, its state is probabilistically distributed throughout the spherical position. This is a superposition of states.
When two spherical waves interfere in a way that their states aren’t determined, the point of interference becomes circular. If another spherical wave interferes with this circular interference, the interference points become two.
Suppose the two interference points formed by three quantum spherical waves are the true nature of the two quantum entangled states. Then, we wouldn’t need to assume a dimension beyond our perception. Quantum entanglement can be explained within the three-dimensional space we perceive.
Moreover, the direction of these two interference points might be constrained by the direction of the center points of the original three quantum spherical waves. There’s no freedom of relative axial twist or relative orthogonal axis rotation. On the other hand, relative distance can increase due to the spread of the wave. Therefore, the overall distance remains unconstrained and free.
The Perspective of Relative Physics
The connection between objects can be called relative Newtonian mechanics. Interference of quantum waves is relative quantum mechanics.
While it’s still hypothetical, by viewing Newtonian mechanics and quantum mechanics through the lens of relative physics, we may be able to capture them in a unified cosmic perspective.
That is, relative distance, relative twist, and relative rotation define the relative space. In terms of movement, there are relative velocity, relative twist angular velocity, and relative rotation angular velocity. And it restrains two or more objects or waves through bonding and interference.
If done correctly, from the perspective of freedom and constraints in relative space, it becomes possible to explain quanta as waves, fluids, and solids.
Although not deeply explored here, if we expand the perspective of relative physics to the macro scale and add the perspective of gravity and relative velocity, it might delve into the interpretations of the theory of relativity. After all, it inherently holds a relative perspective.
In Conclusion
Suppose we interpret the interference of multiple quantum waves as something similar to bonding, and by stacking these interferences, the position of a particle is determined. This could be interpreted as quanta waves binding together to form particles.
These particles bond to form atoms, and atoms bond to form molecules, polymers, and solids. Multilayered bonding is key to forming solids. And bonding creates structure, structures have persistence, and they store information.
Thus, even if the foundation of the universe is waves and much of the universe is sparse and fluid, bonding allows for the existence of solids. In them, the preservation of structure and storage of information is possible.
Using this preservation of structure and storage of information, life and intelligence are born, evolve, and develop. While bonding itself isn’t life or intelligence, it undoubtedly holds a crucial key.
