The Finite and the Infinite: Mysteries of us as finite beings:
I dreamed we knew the answers, but I dreamed only in part, as the full picture, is beyond infinite eons of the Space-Time Infinity, for which we will never have the full answer. As to define Infinity is to circumscribe it, and that would no longer be Infinite…
It is the only pure Truth of Physics, forever and a day – plus…
The Quantum explains well the world of the atom and molecules but fails to define relativity, or so-called connect with Gravity, but we may solve that someday… Still Gravity and the “Graviton Particle” is only one part of the missing link, as other so-called “Dark” forces such as possibly Dark Matter and Dark Energy, which are purely indefinable, much like Infinity. But we know other such forces control the combined Nature of our Galaxies and our Infinities.
So, I would suggest that Relativity (Large Macro Objects), Quantum Mechanics (Small Micro Objects) coupled with ill-defined or non-defined Dark Forces, all combine to reflect our Infinity, that is only defined as having no Alpha or Omega. Infinities Space-Time or Space and Time are inconceivable, by any metric we as mathematic Finite beings will ever understand.
In truth, we live in a Space and Time that neither exists, and yet always exists. A fundamental Paradox, that makes our consciousness possible. Believe it or Not…
NOTE: One thought that has always consumed me is that: Force (Action & Density) Generates or Creates Gravity. In other words: (Force = Gravity).
This may well tie the 3 Elements of Existence together, that I have listed in prose above, i.e.,
1. Relativity the nature of Large objects, or Matter, if you will…
2. Quantum Mechanics, the Nature of subatomic forces: (Atoms, and Molecules, Quarks, Neutrino’s, et cetera).
3. Unknown Forces, such as Dark Matter and Dark Energy, which may work with Gravity to hold the Galaxies together. As it has been mathematically surmised Gravity alone is not enough of a force to hold our Galaxies from flying apart.
Gravity today is called the missing link, between Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. In other words, the Quantum (Strong and Weak) Forces, along with Relativities (Electromagnetics and Gravity) Forces. I still Wonder…?
Additionally, “String Theory” a seemingly eloquent solution to combining all the 4 forces and perhaps more yet unknown forces – which to date is completely just a theory, however brilliant, as we have no remote capability to measure it, as it is a Hundred Billion, Billion times smaller than an atom, may be creating all of our Quantum Particles. It is far smaller than a neutrino, which is virtually undetectable.
It is a great world for Science to pursue both our Philosophy of truth, and our mathematics, which I consider both of them as symbiotic as “Space-Time”; albeit we will never know the outcome, as Infinity controls the nature and reality of the finite. However, Infinity can never be defined, as I have stated in my first paragraph of this short thought process…
