Introduction

1.2 A philosophical approach to unifying the view of the micro-/macro world

We believe that there is a philosophical observation that is key to understand the unity of our world (which could subsequently be described using the language of equations and formulas). This observation provides evidence that our world is, in all respects, in all directions, on all its levels of existence, literally in any way we can perceive, observe, or quantify it, curved.

However, up until now, our understanding of our world, and therefore also our assessment thereof, has been linear.

The difference between our observation and reality is illustrated in Fig. 1.1.⁴

Figure 1.1: The difference between our perception and reality. When observing objects in our world, the interval (distance), for instance between us (observer) and the observed object, plays an important part. If the object is close to us (a small interval), then we observe/measure its properties with a negligible error. If the object is distant (the interval is large), the curvature of our world distorts the measured property, i.e. the difference between reality and the measured value increases. In other words, as the size of the interval increases, so does the error of any measured value of any observed physical property (e.g. mass, size, energy). At the same time, the curvature of our world prevents us from seeing further than up to a certain limit (the horizon of cognition), which is given by this curvature.

Fig. 1.2 illustrates, what happens when an observer changes his position (from position A to position B). In this example, position A belongs to an observer from our world, whereas position B belongs (from the A perspective) to a very small observer from the micro world. If observer A moves to position B (imagine the observer, and therefore also his scale, shrinking), he will see a bit further: everything that observer A sees around the position B is seen greatly distorted. Observer B will see much more accurately (and the values from his measurements in these surroundings will thus differ entirely from those of observer A). However, observer B will experience the same limitations as observer A, just a one step further away.

Figure 1.2: Different results observed from position A and B. As it is stated in chap. 2.1: “If we measure the dimensions of atoms in the order of magnitude from 10^-11 to 10^-10 m from our observation point (A), in the spacetime of the relevant atoms (B) its dimensions may range from 10¹³ to 10¹⁴ m. While an atom in the micro world may have a rest mass of 10^-27 to 10^-26 kg from our observation point (A), an observer in the micro world (B) would measure up to 10³⁰ kg. The lifetime of a particle measured in a particle accelerator, e.g. 10^-5 s, de facto represents millions-of-years intervals within the particle’s spacetime (B), etc.”

If we measure the physical data of very distant objects, the data will be distorted by the curvature of our world. Only in our immediate surroundings will our observations of objects be almost precise and not-distorted..

This is a completely new view of the natural laws of our world.

This novel view and how it affects our observations will be thoroughly explained in the coming chapters.

Let us take a look at the present state of the scientific knowledge regarding our micro- and macro world, and at how these two worlds can be understood and connected in a united and comprehensive way.
