Abstract

A literature review of related articles, either by affinity or by contrast, to a fundamental theory of time and space - time previously developed. It shows how from a primitive concept of preparticle and membership relation of set theory, and four postulates that refer to simple concepts, derived concepts of time, space-time, reference frame, particle, fields, and interaction between fields are obtained. The problem of the of time is analyzed and a paradox whose solution goes against the idea that this direction is fixed by the increase of entropy prescribed by the second law of thermodynamics is examined. In our theory this direction is unique to each reference frame, and is an intrinsic property of time. Two kinds of particles are described as derived concepts, and it is shown that one of them fullfills the Bose-Einstein statistics, and the other one fullfills the Fermi-Dirac statistics. We also consider the analysis of the wave function concepts and particle detector as concepts derived from the mentioned theory. Using these concepts, the process of locating both a macroscopic body (typical location) as well as one of a microscopic scale (quantum localization) is analyzed, and the significance of the location is examined in both cases.

The concepts of time and space-time in physics

A literature review of related articles, either by affinity or by contrast, to a fundamental theory of time and space - time previously developed. It shows how from a primitive concept of preparticle and membership relation of set theory, and four postulates that refer to simple concepts, derived concepts of time, space-time, reference frame, particle, fields, and interaction between fields are obtained. The problem of the "direction " of time is analyzed and a paradox whose solution goes against the idea that this direction is fixed by the increase of entropy prescribed by the second law of thermodynamics is examined. In our theory this direction is unique to each reference frame, and is an intrinsic property of time. Two kinds of particles are described as derived concepts, and it is shown that one of them fullfills the Bose-Einstein statistics, and the other one fullfills the Fermi-Dirac statistics.

No-localidad, multiuniverso y principio cosmologico en un modelo simple de espacio-tiempo

Máximo García Sucre

Here we analyze the physical concepts of non-locality, multi-universe, and cosmological principle in the framework of a space-time discrete model previously developed. In previous developments of this model we have elucidated as derivative concepts those of time, space-time, reference frame, particle, interaction between systems of particles, field, interaction between fields, detector of particle, and wave function. We start from the primitive concept of preparticle and four postulates alluding simple concepts. The fundamental postulate says that space-time points can be represented by equivalent classes of points of crossing between particles having the same structure. In this way each point of space-time is represented by an equivalent class corresponding to a different structure from the one of any other equivalent class representing a space-time point. We have considered a new way to define system of observation and detector of particles, which leads to non- local properties of the space-time model considered. Finally we have speculated about dark matter and dark energy in the frame work of our model.

A solution of the time paradox of physics

Grit Kalies

Abstract Quantum mechanics for describing the behavior of microscopic entities and thermodynamics for describing macroscopic systems exhibit separate time concepts. Whereas many theories of modern physics interpret processes as reversible, in thermodynamics, an expression for irreversibility and the so-called time arrow has been developed: the increase of entropy. The divergence between complete reversibility on the one hand and irreversibility on the other is called the paradox of time. Since more than hundred years many efforts have been devoted to unify the time concepts. So far, the efforts were not successful. In this paper a solution is proposed on the basis of matter-energy equivalence with an energetic distinction between matter and mass. By refraining from interpretations predominant in modern theoretical physics, the first and second laws of thermodynamics can be extended to fundamental laws of nature, which are also valid at quantum level.

BEING AND BECOMING AT THE MICROSCOPIC LEVEL

Wolfram Schommers

The laws of classical mechanics and quantum theory do not distinguish between the past and the future. But a lot of phenomena tell us that the "arrow of time" points only in one direction. For example, in biology we discover evolutionary processes leading to diversification and increasing complexity; it is a typical feature of such evolutionary processes that "forward" in time is possible but "backward" in time is impossible. At what level can phenomena like these be described? There is another problem in connection with time: within usual quantum theory, space-coordinates and time are not symmetrical to each other, which is in contrast to the basic results of special theory of relativity. In usual quantum theory coordinates are operators and play the role of statistical quantities; time however does not behave statistically and remains a simple parameter when we go from classical to quantum mechanics. For this reason there is no uncertainty relation for the time and energy within usual quantum theory which would agree in its physical content with that for the coordinates and momenta. The purpose of this paper is to show, on the basis of new aspects, that both one-sidedness of time and its uncertainty are charateristics at the fundamental level of quantum theory. We have extended usual quantum theory on the basis of space-time arguments. In this connection a time-operator appeared and there is in general temporal asymmetry at the microscopic level. The picture might be important in the description of phenomena with an "arrow of time", i.e., processes which belong to the physics of becoming. Furthermore, we have derived an uncertainty relation for the energy and time which agrees in its physical content with the uncertainty relation for the momentum and the coordinate; this relation is different from that of usual quantum theory. Within the frame of this physical picture all the concepts (diversity, natural selection, mutation), which are presently used in connection with the evolution of biological systems, are already established at the quantum mechanical level and, therefore, our theoretical picture might also be the foundation for the explanation of the phenomena at the biological (macro-molecular) level.

Representaciones del espacio tiempo y no localidad

Víctor RODRÍGUEZ

A brief panorama of contemporary researches on the concepts of space, space-time and its relations to nonlocality is presented. In this regard, some historical aspects of the concept of space-time and quantum theory are considered under the perspective of possible connections between them. It is argued that, even though it is accepted the important role of each one for the topic, there are numerous gaps between mathematics, physics and philosophy that deserve further attention on this old theme.

Remarkably, such philosophical view is strongly sustained by the quantum theory of matter, by its prescription through waves and substance quantifications, with experimental counterpart, however, maintaining the intrinsic mystery of reciprocal connection at the microscopic level. This chapter reviews the most fundamental Planck (– Einstein) and de Broglie (– Einstein) quantifications of matter while founding the basis for the second and first quantification of fields and particles, respectively. This way the two opposite visions of Newton and Huygens as advancing on the end of XVII century the corpuscular and undulatory natures of matter seems now be unified either at micro-and macro-scales of Universe.
