Space &
Time
+ a summary generated by openai +
The document titled "Space and
Time" by Laurențiu Mihăescu, contains three articles exploring the
physics of the universe, offering alternative interpretations and
hypotheses on fundamental concepts such as relativity, the
universe's origins, and the nature of space-time. Below is a summary
of its contents:

-
1. Relative or Absolute?
This section challenges Einstein's Theory of Relativity by
introducing the Theory of the Absolute (TA), which asserts the
existence of absolute reference frames.
● Key concepts include:
- Absolute
Frame of Reference (AFR): A framework where the speed of light
and physical laws are constant.
- Reinterpretation of famous experiments, such as Michelson-Morley and
stellar aberration, suggesting they support absolute space.
- Distinctions between parent AFRs and child Inertial Frames of Reference
(IFRs): Local distortions are caused by significant masses,
creating regions of "local absolute."
- Proposes directional and non-linear time transformations, contrasting
with the uniform space-time of Special Relativity.

2. The Dark Universe
● Proposes an alternative to the Big Bang theory, based on the
Granular Hypothesis:
- The
universe originated from a finite amount of primordial
superfluid ("essence") that turned into infinitesimal granules, forming
the three-dimensional space and ordinary matter.
- This granular model explains cosmic evolution, the creation of
elementary particles, and the emergence of physical laws.
● Introduces the Universal Postulate (UP): The invariance of
physical laws despite changes in spatial density.
● Suggests reinterpretations of phenomena like dark matter and
dark energy, emphasizing granular density as a central factor.

3. Continuous or
Discrete?
● Investigates whether space and time are continuous or composed
of discrete granular structures.
● Examines implications for quantum mechanics and field
theories.
● Discusses the interplay of granular structures with
macroscopic and cosmic phenomena, advocating for a more
deterministic and unified physics model.

Conclusion
The book proposes a paradigm
shift, emphasizing determinism, absolute frameworks, and granular
mechanics as foundational principles for understanding the universe.
It critiques current mainstream theories, like relativity and the
Big Bang, and offers alternative interpretations supported by new
models and re-evaluated experimental evidence.
