Dear Researcher Ternyik,
As you will find out if you read my essay, Einstein was utterly wrong when he stupidly stated that “reality was an illusion, albeit a persistent one.”
One real visible Universe must have only one reality. Simple natural reality has nothing to do with any abstract complex musings such as the ones you effortlessly indulge in. As I have thoughtfully pointed out in my brilliant essay, SCORE ONE FOR SIMPLICITY, the real Universe consists only of one unified visible infinite surface occurring in one infinite dimension, that am always illuminated by infinite non-surface light. Reality am not as complicated as theories of reality are.

Dear Joe Fisher ! Your essay already found my reading interest and it is among the FQXI contributions that I study with more attention, i,e. most so-called experimental claims on natural reality or real nature are indeed pure academic artifacts. Empirical evidence (e.g. progress in surgery) and hypothetical constructs (e.g. human consciousness) belong to the realm of real human life. So, my point is to make a difference between maths as applied to real problems of human life and maths as an esotheric activity. Concerning simplicity, I do think that we should try to use as simple approaches as possible to solve the mystery of nature, but complexity can only be reduced by complexity, i.e. think complex, try to say it simple (and friendly). Nature is reality (not the laboratory) and I do understand that you find your way of enlightenment by the ininite light from non-surface inspirations of real nature. Best: Stephen I. Ternyik

Dear Stephen, i am glad that someone has the courage to mention the hidden/undiscovered agenda in the socio-economic mal-distribution as it gravitates towards its own collapse (and/or towards war). I also read Erich Fromm decades ago and agree with him more than ever.

Great to hear back from you, dear Stefan Weckbach ! Many contemporaries are also trying to attack this human systems problem of thermo-economics; Erich Fromm pointed towards the right direction, concerning systems evolution and reform. The physics of human intention and consciousness is a future research field of science where the moral (ethical) dimension (meaning) of space and time will be clarified and corrected by applied methodical logic.

Dear Stephen,
First off, let me say that among the great thoughts that characterized Einstein's vision of the physics of nature, don't know why you chose this most unfortunate one to illustrate your writing. Einstein certainly did not think that as part of reality he was an illusion himself.
Past this little hurdle, I highly praise your essay. Your attempt to put under the same formal tent social dynamics, human economics, cognition and human teleology is quite commendable, not withstanding the scant underlying math.
Your suspicion about the hidden analytic depths of the Gaussian distribution is quite justified, and I invite you to take a look at my essay for further explanation.
Although at times there is a lack of clarity in your vision as expressed, I believe your framework of thoughts about the human endeavour as a whole is quite assertive. You sure are a notable thinker!
Good luck in this contest.

Dear Joseph ! Your essay contains impressive research , I will study your scientific approach of cognitive physics and give my reader response. My main interest are the construction principles of social (human) reality, i.e. I do not subscribbe to the public relations teaching that reality is no-thing and perception is every-thing. The Einsteinian proverb is surely a provocation, concerning any human effort to cope with 'reality' and to develop a unified (cognitive) systems theory of human life (living). Personally, I do believe, that such a universal blueprint of reality exists and is attainable by the application of scientifc creativity, i.e. religion, philosophy and science have a humanistic commonality, with the scientific method being the most reliable tool of human communication.

Dear Steve,
The discussed Einstein quote does not make much sense in the context of physical science. But it does in the context of the human sciences, in particular religion and philosophy. In that sense it is to be related to traditional Eastern philosophy, specifically buddhism and lamaism, which assert that our passage on earth with all its tribulations is a kharmic journey with no other purpose than purifying the soul.
As a Jew and with the personal education that he had about Eastern religions, one is left to wonder if part of that had inspired his observation.
You write however: I do not subscribe to the public relations teaching that reality is no-thing and perception is every-thing. Could not agree more.
Best.
Joseph

Dear Joseph ! My understanding of the quote is that it was meant to be a provocation, not more. I have studied the family history and biography of Einstein and would evaluate the mindset as secular Jewish humanism or Judaism as a civilization; this cognitive approach to reality is definitely the opposite to Buddhism. I have already detected some important points in your essay and will respond on your site in some days.I do agree to your conclusion that the quote has to be understood in the context of human science and not physical science; I am working at the intersection of these two sets of scientific knowledge, i.e. applied social science.

Hello to both of you,
I beleive that Einstein indeed was a fervent thinker in God.The faith in this infinite entropy above our understanding.He was jew and the faith is improtant for jews.I am not jew but I consider God the chief orchestra of all things.The universal love after all is the only one truth in a pure altruism and universalism.Humanity and lifes are like a rainbow ,a diversity of colors united , unified in light........it is difficult to turn off a big fire with one water drop ,nevertheless a whole of drops makes the ocean ....The altruism ....like humble travellers from stars.Personally and humbly I beleive strongly that it is not possible to ponder general équations about matter and energy, intuitive without this foundamental,this entropy creating this physiocality.It is the real meaning of mc² ,the evolution permits the encodings ,gravitatuion encoded phjotons and particles of gravitation.It is the meaning of my equation implying a gravitational aether from the central cosmological singularity, the biggest BHs producing the speedest spherons in my model,the dark matter, the gravitation in fact, these particles are also encoded in nuclei.God sends gravitational informations mainly checking the zero absolute and the heat towards its paradoxal maximum.The photons are not the only one piece of puzzle.The gravitation is the main chief orchestra.The luminiferous aether is just a photonic sphere.The sphères spheronic produced by supermassive BHs them are bigger due to the linear velocity proportional with the spherical volume of the correlated supermassive BHs central to galaxies.The quantum gravitation cannot be an emergent electromagnetic force in fact,this force is not baryonic and seems correlated with this zero absolute, that is why I consider a cold dark matter and this matter can be ranked withy the spherical volumes and my équations E=mc²+ml² and mlosV=Constant the linear velocity of this gravitational aether can be ranked with the volumes,that is why that tends to infinity like the gravitation.God is near us with this weakest force created by this central BH with this linear velocity correlated of particles produced.Einstein said that God does not play at dices ,I agree ,that is why the gravitation balances the thermo like the + and the - Simply.Sometimes I imagine all these 1000 billions of galaxies turning around this central BH,I imagine the number of stars and planets and the lifes ,you imagine, at this moment they evolve,live,eat,think, smile, laugh,create...We are Inside a wonderful mechanic of evolution where souls and bodies evolve towards this eternity in fact simply.We were, we are ,we shall be :) Jedis of the sphere :)

The real meanings of informations of evolution by sortings, synchros,and superimposings take all their meanings.If we consider this gravitational aether instead of a luminifierous einsteinian aether,we see that informations are not only photonic but are in fact gravitational,that is why I beleive even that a photon in fact is a spheron coded,see that this gravitation balances this thermo heat and electromagntic forces of our sstandard model.Like if this zero absolute correlated with this gravitation permitted to photons to be what they must become.The informations so become complex and if we correlate with binar informations,that could converge if the quantum computing converges with the rotating 3D spherical volumes....The motions and mechanics are purely newtonian.That is why I beleive that modified newtonian mechanics MOND and this and that trying to explain this problem of rotations of galaxies without dark matter is a big error forgetting this zero absolute.I prefer the logic of Zwicky inserting this matter not baryonic for dark matter.A big puzzle in all case.

Many thanks for your detailed comment, Steve ! Abraham Ibn Ezra says that one must be well versed in astronomy to understand the celestial magnificence in Psalm 19, that is the music of the celestial spheres. The hidden secrets of Biblical Scripture seem to be confirmed by such scientific discoveries as pulsars, gravitational waves, acoustic oscillations in the early universe, and solar ultrasound;celestial phenomena (Cepheid variables, RR Lyrae stars, solar ultrasounds, Baryon acoustic oscillations, pulsars, Gravitational waves)support your orchestra approach which actualizes the claccical view of the Phytagoreans.

Dear SD
I want you to ask you to please have a look at my essay, where ……………reproduction of Galaxies in the Universe is described. Dynamic Universe Model is another mathematical model for Universe. Its mathematics show that the movement of masses will be having a purpose or goal, Different Galaxies will be born and die (quench) etc…just have a look at the essay… “Distances, Locations, Ages and Reproduction of Galaxies in our Dynamic Universe” where UGF (Universal Gravitational force) acting on each and every mass, will create a direction and purpose of movement…..
I think intension is inherited from Universe itself to all Biological systems
For your information Dynamic Universe model is totally based on experimental results. Here in Dynamic Universe Model Space is Space and time is time in cosmology level or in any level. In the classical general relativity, space and time are convertible in to each other.
Many papers and books on Dynamic Universe Model were published by the author on unsolved problems of present day Physics, for example ‘Absolute Rest frame of reference is not necessary’ (1994) , ‘Multiple bending of light ray can create many images for one Galaxy: in our dynamic universe’, About “SITA” simulations, ‘Missing mass in Galaxy is NOT required’, “New mathematics tensors without Differential and Integral equations”, “Information, Reality and Relics of Cosmic Microwave Background”, “Dynamic Universe Model explains the Discrepancies of Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry Observations.”, in 2015 ‘Explaining Formation of Astronomical Jets Using Dynamic Universe Model, ‘Explaining Pioneer anomaly’, ‘Explaining Near luminal velocities in Astronomical jets’, ‘Observation of super luminal neutrinos’, ‘Process of quenching in Galaxies due to formation of hole at the center of Galaxy, as its central densemass dries up’, “Dynamic Universe Model Predicts the Trajectory of New Horizons Satellite Going to Pluto” etc., are some more papers from the Dynamic Universe model. Four Books also were published. Book1 shows Dynamic Universe Model is singularity free and body to collision free, Book 2, and Book 3 are explanation of equations of Dynamic Universe model. Book 4 deals about prediction and finding of Blue shifted Galaxies in the universe.
With axioms like… No Isotropy; No Homogeneity; No Space-time continuum; Non-uniform density of matter(Universe is lumpy); No singularities; No collisions between bodies; No Blackholes; No warm holes; No Bigbang; No repulsion between distant Galaxies; Non-empty Universe; No imaginary or negative time axis; No imaginary X, Y, Z axes; No differential and Integral Equations mathematically; No General Relativity and Model does not reduce to General Relativity on any condition; No Creation of matter like Bigbang or steady-state models; No many mini Bigbangs; No Missing Mass; No Dark matter; No Dark energy; No Bigbang generated CMB detected; No Multi-verses etc.
Many predictions of Dynamic Universe Model came true, like Blue shifted Galaxies and no dark matter. Dynamic Universe Model gave many results otherwise difficult to explain
Have a look at my essay on Dynamic Universe Model and its blog also where all my books and papers are available for free downloading…

Dear Stephen
I read your essay and thanks for the observations you made; though I see time not moving from past through the present into the future but as the rate of change between two or more existents. The occurrence of a phenomenon in space is not due to a causale process. Reality is possible and not predetermined or necessary. i.e.causality is a special case in the occurrence of the phenomenon. the essay does not explains the sustainability of the self organization through its continuous change. there are millions of life forms that do not exists in our time and millions new ones that are formed and I don't think we have to bring G_D to their formation., the space full of infinite relations intrinsically posses the possibilities in the attributes of the movements.
thanks

Dear Yehuda ! Many thanks for your profound comments.I am in agreement with your statement that time is a human convention to distinguish the change of existents.The sustainability of self-organization by perpetual change, i.e. the interplay of matter and energy or space and motion, is due to dynamic efficiency or the optimization of a living systems energy transduction. If these events follow a random pattern or the workings of a creative upper force is indeed undecided. I am trying to bridge human (economic) systems and physical (natural) laws, in terms of cosmic principles. In the next 20 years, exponential knowledge automation will be an exciting field to study the organization principles of autopoeitic systems sustainability. Best wishes: stephen

Stephen,
Thanks for your comments on mine.
I think a cornerstone of our agreement is the priority of mindful understanding over mindless computation. I quoted John Wheelers
full statement "always work out and know the answer
before you do the maths". Your equivalent was;
"the Gaussian dictum to 1st understand (learn) the underlying mathematical idea and to 2nd train (do) the formal application is a prerequisite of all creative methodical discovery in life and science.Seemingly you didn't connect with the classical derivation of QM in mine. I'd estimated empirically that less than 15% would, as few really understand QM and its roots, and most that do are then fully indoctrinated with it; that is it's patterns are embedded in their neural networks so anything inconsistent' is rejected a priori.(so proving the 2nd hypothesis which you agreed).
Seems I may also have been correct estimating less than 5%! Much work needed.
But thank you for yours, and reading/ commenting on mine. I feel your own total deserves to be higher so I shall wave my quantum wand now! (I hope you'll also appropriately score mine if not yet done)
Very best
Peter

Many thanks, Peter. The exponentiality of knowledge automation for manufacturing, finance and medicine (in the next 20 years) will be a good testing field for the physics of human consciousness, following the working assumption of the John Wheeler quote. Meaningful work & fulfilling labor will require a full economic and humanistic redefinition, and a natural science of the human mind can be of great help to find workable answers by methodical intuition and anticipation ('the great synaptic challenge').

Vladimir Rogozhin wrote on Mar. 1, 2017 @ 17:16 GMT
Dear Stephen,
You make some very important conclusions:
«Thus, the ethical economy of humankind on planet earth pertains to a moral dimension of space and time; space divides the human bodies into self-contained action units and time gives the human psyche the privilege to exist and to develop personally for a ‘next’ or ‘coming’ world, i.e. even the most righteous human beings on this globe need space and time for their correction. Wandering toward this goal of rectification, setting the right intention and aim, means to ‘catch’ the arrow of causation by applying ma-thematical logic and methodical extension of temporally limited knowledge.»
This is very significant words:
«Human Life is not about the expansion of theoretical knowledge, but about the applied insight into the the construction principles (laws) of reality, i.e. the main creative task as living spirit is to convert knowledge into value.»
«Human health, the social economy and ethical behaviour are one body of study (top-down) and action (bottom-up) and this is what all ancient (holy) scriptures and traditions of humanity teach (of course with distinct anthropological beliefs and practices): it is the repentive emotional and cognitive decision to do and perform the ethically good (the difference of good and evil = ethics), expecting neither reward or punishment from upper force(s). Such an awareness will pave the way to Edenic or Adamic purity where light is always preferred over darkness.»
The world picture of physicists, mathematicians, economists,
poets and musicians should be united and filled with the senses of the "LifeWorld" (E.Husserl). I invite you to read my ideas.
Yours faithfully,
Vladimir

As we will see a great global transition in the next 20 years, I am sure that science and life will become more integrated again, for the sake of human survival.The Noskov romance song seemingly modernized the poetry of N.Gumilev; the interplay of poetry and logic is based on probabilities, i.e. poetry can be viewed as a creative form of probabilitics.

Dear Ternyik,
You have written short essay, but in amazing style and you say some very right things in this small volume. That is why I decide write you.
Particularly, you have reminded that math is a kind of science. But, It is a one very important thing actually! It is mean that those is a human creation or, - it is a tool only, very valuable of course, but the tool only! Then, from here we can understand whole significance of this theme offered to us!
I continue reading your work, meantime I just suggest you to check my essay. I hope you may read it with pleasure (despite it is a little bit large!) Then we can share with ours impressions.

Stephen I. Ternyik!
I appreciate your essay. You spent a lot of effort to write it.
If you believed in the principle of identity of space and matter of Descartes, then your essay would be even better. There is not movable a geometric space, and is movable physical space. These are different concepts.
I invite you to familiarize yourself with New Cartesian Physic
I wish to see your criticism on the New Cartesian Physic, the founder of which I call myself.
The concept of moving space-matter helped me: The uncertainty principle Heisenberg to make the principle of definiteness of points of space-matter; Open the law of the constancy of the flow of forces through a closed surface is the sphere of space-matter; Open the law of universal attraction of Lorentz; Give the formula for the pressure of the Universe; To give a definition of gravitational mass as the flow vector of the centrifugal acceleration across the surface of the corpuscles, etc.
New Cartesian Physic has great potential in understanding the world. To show this potential in essay I risked give «The way of The materialist explanation of the paranormal and the supernatural” - Is the name of my essay.
Visit my essay and you will find something in it about New Cartesian Physic. Note my statement that our brain creates an image of the outside world no inside, and in external space.
Do not let New Cartesian Physic get away into obscurity! I am waiting your post.

Stephen,
A simple economics textbook, which I have used at one time, speaks of "maximizing utility" in understanding consumer behavior.
I like the Fromm psychology of either Have/possess nature for material gain or be/enjoy nature, for present society rewards the extremes of possession and exploitation. As you suggest, we need a balance: nonGaussian distribution suggesting that humanity has become the greatest and most dangerous geo-physical force on earth, with the probable potential of self-annihilation.
I'm not so sure that mathematical logic can correct this, but believe that our turning backward the arrow of time can reveal how small we are in the scope of the universe.
Hope you get a chance to check out my ideas in my essay.

Many thanks for your feedback, Jim ! I like the FQXI contest for one reason: it offers a great possibility to learn from others and their application of the mathematical method. For me, this is an expansion of my own methodical awareness. I am in agreement with your statement that neither logic nor values can change the physical (thermo-economic) direction of social systems.Using the scientific method, we have to find out how we can better organize human society, concerning lower degress of social inequality, environmental sustainability and a happy life. It is all about lowering entropy in the jackpot of human living chances; Baron JM. Keynes stated that in the end we are all dead. Death is real, so we have to improve our lives mutually in human dignity. All other (supernatural) things, we can only believe.
