Chapter 6:  From Energy To Mass

Section 1:  Cosmology:

The cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) is an electromagnetic phenomenon within which the particulate matter of our traditional spacetime continuum (3+1) is immersed. The omnipresent, pervasive CMBR was unexpectedly discovered in 1965 by radio astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, 1 each of whom received one-quarter of the 1978 Nobel Prize in Physics for making the discovery. Pjotr Kapitsa received a full half-share of the 1978 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his basic inventions and discoveries in the area of low-temperature physics."2

Proponents of the Big Bang model of cosmology hypothesize that the CMBR is radiant energy left over from the birth of our material universe in an extremely rapid, high temperature dispersal of a very large amount of nonmechanical energy that was originally confined in very condensed form in an unimaginably small space. According to this scenario, within 0.02 seconds – an estimate derived from thermodynamics, Einstein's 1905 mass-energy equivalence, and quantum mechanics – the creation of matter from condensed, nonmechanical electromagnetic radiation energy was well under way.

Based on the traditional closed or isolated (mechanically conservative) material system 3 and offering no hypothesis describing the physical process or processes by which the original pre-existing mass of condensed matter may have been created, the Big Bang model is generally considered to be physically valid and "the likely valid description" of our material universe.

Interestingly, the recent discovery of the universal principle of energy (TUPE) reveals that the fundamental, irreducible, nonmaterial primordial energy domain (NED) is the origin (source) within which our reciprocally emergent spacetime continuum and particulate matter is created, contained, and maintained. This new first principle of physics states:

Fundamental, irreducible primordial energy exists in the absence of matter,
but matter is entirely dependent upon primordial energy
and cannot exist in the absence of energy.

The universal principle of energy (TUPE) implies that each instance of matter/mass is a discrete, conditionally relative phase transition (change of state) within the massless nonmaterial primordial energy domain (NED) analogous to the liquid, solid, gas, and plasma phase changes that take place in the material domain.

In other words, TUPE points directly to the identity – the irreducible sameness – of discrete conditionally relative states of matter/mass and massless nonmaterial primordial energy (NPE). Thus:

  1. Each instance of matter/mass and electric charge is a discrete, conditionally relative localized state (change of state, physical phase) of fundamental, irreducible nonmaterial primordial energy (NPE).
  2. Particulate matter/mass is created, contained, and maintained within the omnipresent, pervasive, nonmaterial primordial energy domain (NED).
  3. Electric charge is created, contained, and maintained conjointly (simultaneously) with particulate matter/mass in the omnipresent, pervasive NED.
  4. The NED is the carrier of particulate matter/mass.
  5. Particulate matter/mass is the carrier of electric charge.
  6. The NED is the carrier of the massless nonmaterial electric fields, magnetic fields, and photons generated by discrete, accelerated particulate matter in the material domain that has a positive (q+) or negative (q-) electric charge.
  7. In principle our energetic holonomic universe is a complex open (mechanically nonconservative) nonmaterial/material system wholly embedded within the fundamental, irreducible NED.
    • Complex open nonmaterial/material systems are mechanically nonconservative systems in which matter/mass and electric charge are not only created, but also destroyed.
  8. The equivalence of relativistic mass and the rest energy of classical physics is valid only in a theoretically closed or isolated (mechanically conservative) material system.
  9. Global mass-energy equivalence is neither valid nor sufficient in a complex open (mechanically nonconservative) nonmaterial/material system.
  10. The paradoxical contradictions inherent in the wave-particle duality concept of classical physics and classical quantum mechanics are completely resolved within the omnipresent, pervasive NED by the identical nature (irreducible sameness) of matter/mass and fundamental, irreducible, nonmaterial primordial energy (NPE).
  11. So-called empty space is simply the conspicuous panoptic obverse of the massless omnipresent, pervasive NED.

More broadly, the universal principle of energy (TUPE) points beyond classical mechanics, beyond quantum mechanics and the boundary of the material domain to nonmechanical, nonmaterial primordial energy (NPE) and the nonmaterial primordial energy domain (NED).

The new cosmogony and expanding universe of quiet creation:

Many experiments performed following the formulation of Hubble's Law in 1929 have determined that the material universe is in fact expanding. Yet questions concerning the initial conditions that produced our material universe and the precise process that caused the expansion in the past or continues to drive expansion at the present time remain unanswered.

Succinctly stated, the cosmological model described by the thermodynamic Big Bang and the hypothetical inflation of the material universe is an excellent example of the classical and quantum mechanical physics and astrophysics investigated by the scientific community during the 20th century.

Even so, the combined new physics of the universal principle of energy (TUPE) and The Energetic Holographic Paradigm (TEHP, pronounced "teep") model of physical reality just-as-it-is describe novel nonmaterial initial conditions and an alternative material domain expansion process.
