THE FORCES OF MATTER ARE
MEMORIES OF SYMMETRY
Gravity
- gravity is matter's memory that it once was light.
Gravity has a memory ("location" charge) of the symmetric
dispersion of light's energy throughout spacetime, everywhere,
simultaneously (light is a-temporal, non-local). Gravity acts to
return asymmetric (temporal, local) bound energy to symmetric free
energy, as in the conversion of mass to light in our sun and
related astrophysical processes, including Hawking's "quantum
radiance" of "black holes". Gravity is a form of negative entropy
and energy, balancing the positive energy of the universe, and
creating, via
the conversion of space into time, an alternative entropic
drive and domain (time, history) for bound electromagnet energy
forms (which unlike light, cannot move at velocity c, but
nevertheless require, for multiple conservation reasons (energy,
causality), an entropy drive and domain of their own. Thus history
is the entropic domain of matter, the analog of the spatial
entropic domain of light; gravity mediates between the two,
converting either into the other. The three intrinsic dimensional
motions of physics ("velocity c", time, gravity) are connected in
an entropic triangle.
Electric
Charge - is matter's memory of its original symmetric
state as a balanced set of matter/antimatter particles oscillating
with its alternative form, light. Particle/antiparticle
annihilations confirm this origin. The attraction between positive
and negative electric charges is nature's most basic expression of
matter's drive to return to the symmetric energy state of its
creation (via matter-antimatter annihilation). Our universe is
grossly asymmetric in that it consists almost wholly of matter,
lacking any substantial amount of antimatter, at least in the form
of baryons. This asymmetry, the basic feature of our Cosmos,
requires (in compensation) time, gravitation, and all the other
charges and forces of nature. It is also the source of two basic
drives in our universe: 1) the "four forces of physics" act to
return bound energy (matter) to free energy (light); 2) these same
forces act to maintain, through time, the absolute value and
integrity of their several charges, despite relative motion and
the enervation of entropy, because symmetry debts must be paid in
full (not in inflated or otherwise devalued currency), in complete
satisfaction of Noether's
symmetry-conservation theorem. (In the case of the
dimensional forces, these considerations extend to the values of
the constant "velocity c" and Einstein's invariant "Interval",
serving both energy conservation and causality, resulting in the
dimensional warpage seen in both Special and General Relativity.
In the case of the invariant electric charge, the analogous
protective mechanism is magnetic; in the strong force it is
permanent confinement of the quark's partial charges; in the weak
force, it is the huge mass of the field vectors (IVBs), which
ensure that all elementary particles (within type) are identical.)
Strong Force -
a baryon's memory that it once was a single, whole particle, a
primeval lepton or leptoquark, the heaviest member of the leptonic
spectrum. The "color charge" of the strong force (carried by
"gluons") acts to keep the 3 quarks of the baryon confined
permanently to an effectively single particle bearing a
whole quantum unit of leptonic electric charge. As the quarks
attempt to separate, threatening this apparent unity, the
confining force grows stronger; as the quarks crowd together,
moving toward the original charge unity, the confining force grows
weaker ("asymptotic freedom"). A baryon is derived from a
primitive lepton (leptoquark) fractured into
three parts (the quarks) during the "Big Bang" - thus
forming the necessary connection between the leptons and baryons.
The symmetry issue
in the strong force color charge is between the partial
charges of the quarks vs the whole quantum unit charges of the
leptons. Quark partial charges cannot be annihilated, or
even balanced, by any free particle outside the confines of the
baryon (no suitable particle exists). Hence the strong (color)
force is a symmetry debt enclosed within another symmetry debt -
the massive energy state of the baryon.
Weak Force -
the massive IVBs (Intermediate Vector Bosons) of the weak force
remember the original
electroweak unified force energy state in which elementary
leptons and quarks were all energetically equivalent. The
IVBs recreate this primitive symmetric energy state (via
their large mass-energy) to produce decays (such as the beta decay
of neutrons) in which single elementary particles are
created which are exactly the same as every other elementary
particle of their type ever produced - past, present, or future. The weak force
charge is "identity" charge, carried in implicit or hidden
form by all massive leptons (including leptoquarks and their
derived baryons), and carried in explicit form by neutrinos.
Neutrinos are "bare" identity charges. Neutrinos are necessary to
balance the hidden identity charges of their massive leptonic
namesakes. The weak force symmetry is the global
(universal) uniformity among all elementary particles (within
type), enforced locally by the massive IVBs. The great weak force
asymmetry is the creation of our
"matter-only" universe during the "Big Bang" (probably by
the asymmetric weak force decay of electrically neutral
leptoquarks). (Leptoquark antineutrinos (which balance
proton"number" charge) are "dark matter" candidates.)
As with matter,
so with us: We have an instinctual memory of our
spiritual nature and unity with the Cosmos - expressed worldwide
through religion and all forms of art, and in science through the
concept of Information
(of which "charge" is the most significant form, being strictly
conserved). Humans
carry information in our atoms, our genes, our brains, and
our words, books, libraries, and schools. The most basic physical
purpose of information (in its conserved form of charge) is to
provide a symmetry-conserving pathway for matter back to light.
Life is the rationale for the Cosmos, and consciousness is the
rationale for life. We are the universe become aware, awakened to
itself.
