Let us create a wonderful world together

At the moment, April 2020, planet Earth, we are all defending ourselves from a virus and we are facing a forced collective quarantine.

If we turn off all external interference and focus on our inner world, we can get in touch with the forces of nature and help them create something wonderful. With all our creativity, going beyond our expectations, we can dream of something that knows no environmental, social, cultural and economic conditioning.

Let us create our ideal world without judging it bizarre, unconventional, impossible or limited. Let us only listen to our voices from within.

Let us imagine how we would like our world to be: free, uncontaminated, welcoming, prosperous, full of solidarity, rich, cheerful, …
And let us describe it. Let us draw it. Let us sing it. Let us play it in music. Let us touch it. Let us cook it. Let us feel the real world, in which we would like to live, and savor it.

Let us start to create it around us every day, in our daily deeds, with a color, a poem, a help given or taken, an emotion, a thought or a kind word. Let us invent the reality in which we would like to be. Let us use both our imagination and our reason.

Let us create a network among our minds, which is capable of embracing the entire planet with all the living and non-living creatures that inhabit it.

It is possible: the great mystics have shown this for millennia, and today science is also getting there with quantum physics.

An example. According to the quantum field theory, information that “shapes” matter, and organizes energy, is coded in quantum particles called Nambu Goldstone bosons. These bosons are not point objects but they are waves, ripples of an omnipervasive and non-local field that extends itself into matter and void. In this field, the time variable disappears, everything happens instantly, and everywhere. As Galileo said: “You cannot pick a flower without disturbing a star”.

An emotion, a thought, a fantasy, and a word are always accompanied by an emission of these bosons of Nambu Goldstone: it is as if a wave motion were created in this information field [1].

We find confirmation of this phenomenon from several points of view: in the Maharishi effect, in the research on telepathy of Dr. Michael A. Persinger, in the effects showed with meditation, and in the quantum phenomenon of “entanglement”.

A calm state of mind amplifies the capacity of transmission and reception of the waves of the Nambu Goldstone field. In fact, meditation tries to reduce interference and external noise as much as possible.

This is the way how nature communicates. It is an instantaneous communication towards every point of the planet, and an immediate communication with every living, and non-living, being that inhabits it. Information exchanged through this communication shapes the very harmony of nature.

For this reason, rediscovering this form of communication means returning to harmony with nature, and speaking its language.

Therefore, let us create a wonderful world together. 😊

Unigravitational Physics: a different point of view

Books about physics are often among my summer readings. This year it has been the turn of a Renato Palmieri’s essay about unigravitational physics.

The book suggests a theory of grand unification, claiming and showing as in physics there is a single force with which it is possible to explain all observable phenomena: the gravitational force.

Even today, research is ongoing to find a single theory (GUT, Grand United Theory), that takes into account all the interactions described by the four fundamental forces that are, in order of increasing relative intensity: gravity, weak force, electromagnetic force and strong force. Gravity and electromagnetism have been known and observed for thousands of years, the weak force and the strong force have been studied recently (last century) and have an infinitesimal range of action, comparable to nuclear dimensions.

A force, in physics, is the cause of a motion. According to Isaac Newton and his second law of motion (1687), the force is the multiplication of the inertial mass of a body by its acceleration.

Omitting further references to classical texts and assuming that the Newtonian mechanics, special relativity, quantum mechanics, general relativity, quantum field theory, particle physics and physics of complex systems, are already known to everyone, even if only in general terms, we can enter directly into the unigravitational system.

Some fundamental concepts at the base of unigravitational physics could be summarized as follows:

• The universe is light: photon and graviton coincide;
• Photon is the elementary particle, defined as an infinitesimal particle that produces the phenomenon called light;
• Photons are places of gravitational wave-like fields;
• The frequency is the rhythm of emission of gravitational waves by the photon;
• The photonic propagation can spread through concentric waves (circumferences) as a particular case, as it happens for instance for a stone thrown into the water, but more often through eccentric circumferences;
• A concentric photonic propagation can intersect but cannot overlap another concentric photonic propagation;
• An eccentric photonic propagation can instead overlap another eccentric photonic propagation, or an eccentric one can overlap a concentric one, and create a derivative propagation with its own characteristics, specific and different from those ones of the initial propagation;
• Photonic propagation spread in the three dimensional space in the form of logarithmic spirals (eccentricity) or, in particular cases (concentricity), in the form of Archimedes spirals;
• To visualize a spiral, you can consider the shell of a snail or the vortex of a tornado;
• As it occurs in nature for a cyclone, the photonic propagation spread outward, clockwise or counterclockwise, matter accumulates under a centripetal attractive effect towards the center along the arms of the spiral, matter does not accumulate between an arm and the other and in the center of the spiral, density of the matter and orbital velocities reach the maximum value around the center;
• The direction of rotation produces the polarity of the photonic propagation;
• The photonic propagation is a three-dimensional solid moving also in different media (air, water), what we usually see with the available tools, or with our own eyes, are their various two-dimensional sections (for instance the concentric waves), which do not give the idea of the phenomenon as a whole;
• The natural physical phenomena are unique and unrepeatable, for example, there is not a storm equal to another storm or a snail equal to another snail;
• With the unigravitational physics, composing geometrically with each other many undulating fields of single photons, or of their more or less complex sets, we can generate any shape visible in nature, such as weather situations, flowers, shells, biological structures, the circulatory system, the respiratory system , DNA, bunch of grapes, roots and branches of a tree, the shape of a coast (in the traditional physics we speak of self-similar structures, strange attractors, fractal geometry, deterministic chaos, that is, physics of complex systems);
• The wave-particle duality does not exist, it is as if we confuse an object with its shadow, or better, with all its possible shadows;
• The gravitational force is only attractive, there are no repulsive forces;
• Gravitational fields are polarized, that is, they have a direction of rotation and are anisotropic, that is they have different characteristics in different directions;
• The speed of a photonic propagation, also that one of the light itself, depends on the resistance offered by the medium in which it propagates;
• The gravitational intensity is an intrinsic property of a single body, unlike the gravitational force that refers to many interacting bodies;
• The mass is the number of elementary particles (photons) constituting a body;
• Density and polarization should always be taken into consideration;
• Natural phenomena represent a dynamic equilibrium;
• The unigravitational physics refers to both the microcosm and the macrocosm.

To visualize the photonic propagation and the various geometric configurations described above, the book provides a cosmological equation and its graphical software, with which anyone can perform tests, also available at the website.

The cosmological equation gives the value of the spiral radius of the gravitational photonic propagation and depends on the angle of rotation corresponding to the radius of the spiral, on the diameter of the primitive photonic wave, on the center of gravity of the photonic propagation, on the value of the golden section (square root 5 -1)/2 = 0.618, and on the gravitational intensity of two interacting material structures (gravitational sources).

This equation refers to the morphology of the natural structures or draws the wave-like geometry, which is created between two interacting bodies.

In the book many other interesting topics are treated, such as black holes or the magnetic field lines visible with iron filings around a magnet, but sometimes the criticism of the author to the traditional physics exceeds the necessary clarity of exposition of new theories and intertwines with it. I experienced the same problem even when, a few years ago, I attended in person one of his conferences. It would also be useful to have an updated three-dimensional version of the graphical software.

Is there anyone who is already developing research in this area or knows how to use the software Olopòiema?

Has someone already tried, for example, to study motion and interactions of nanoparticles using the unigravitational physics?

Effects of nanoparticles on health and environment: the latest assessments from U.S. EPA

Did you know that in addition to the smoke from combustion, also cosmetics, sunscreens, fabrics, textiles and medicines could contain nanoparticles? But what exactly are they and why the U.S. Agency for the Environmental Protection (EPA) is studying their effects on human health and ecosystems? And what the butterfly effect has to do with them?

The market of nanomaterials is growing strongly and they are currently used in more than 500 products. We could find them in cosmetics, sunscreens, fabrics, textiles, medicines, paints, food packaging, vehicles, electronics, sports equipment, fuel, biomedical supplies. Their impacts on human health and the ecosystems are still largely unknown. For this reason, and to make potentially dangerous nanomaterials harmless, EPA (U.S. Environment Protection Agency) is undertaking assessments on nanotechnology.

Nanoparticles are so small that cannot be visible with any type of microscope. They have unique and different optical, mechanical, magnetic, conductive and adsorption properties, if compared to the same substances in a larger scale. Current investigations are aimed primarily at ensuring that there are no negative consequences with the exposure of human beings and ecosystems to nanoparticles. The assessments also deepen the knowledge for the sustainable use of nanotechnology, which prevents any form of pollution, resulting in possible limit values of exposure and concentration for the different substances. Values that the legislature should then regulate.

The EPA assessments cover the following most commonly used materials:

• Carbon nanotubes (vehicles, sports equipment, electronics, flat screen TVs, car dashboards), for which it has already been observed toxicity, especially in aquatic environments, and their already verified and unwanted interactions with natural organic matter;
• Nanoparticles of cerium oxide (electronics, energy, fuel additives, bio-medical supplies), which are easily dispersed in the environment with still unknown effects on public health and ecosystems;
• Nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (cosmetics, sunscreens, paints, coatings, removal of contaminants in drinking water);
• Silver nanoparticles (embedded in fabrics and materials to eliminate bacteria and unpleasant odors, and in food packaging for their antimicrobial properties, used in spray disinfectants);
• Iron nanoparticles (optics, source of easily absorbable iron, removal of contaminants in wastewater);
• Micronized copper (treated wood).

Currently, March 2014, the research is still in progress. It concerns the risk assessment and includes the entire life cycle of products, from the raw material extraction to the production cycle, to their use, recycling and final disposal. It aims also to determine the impacts of nanoparticles coming from the combustion and the consequent potential air pollution. It concerns detection, quantification and characterization of nanomaterials, and studies their properties.

Nanoparticles are small pieces of any substance, whose dimensions are measured in nanometers. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, or one millionth of a millimeter. Take a ruler, look at the space occupied by a millimeter and imagine the millionth part of this small space. It is an infinitesimal size, an atomic size.

A nanometer (nm), also called millimicron (mμ), measures 10-9 meters, or 10-6 mm.

In the cake shaped model of the atom, in which electrons are assumed as distributed here and there just like raisins in a cake, of the British physicist Joseph John Thomson (1856 – 1940), the atom is compared to a sphere with a radius of about 10-10 meters (one angstrom Ǻ, that is 0.1 nm).

In the model of the atom with orbiting electrons of the Danish physicist Niels Bohr (1885 – 1962), the radius of the hydrogen atom at the minimum energy state is about 5.3 • 10-11 meters. The hydrogen atom is the smallest atom with atomic number equal to 1.

Such small particles, with infinitesimal mass, are not affected by the force of gravity, which acts only on massive bodies, and they follow laws different from those ones of classical physics. The force of gravity does not have significant influence at the atomic and subatomic level. A complex physical system, such as that one of the nanoparticles, for example, could have a chaotic dynamic behavior and could need to be studied with the science of chaos, or deterministic chaos, developed by the U.S. mathematician and meteorologist Edward Norton Lorenz (1917-2008) . It is to him that we owe the definition of the butterfly effect: ” … modest phenomena, which are generated on a small scale, such as the beating of a butterfly’s wings, can cause changes of immense level and high intensity on a large scale, such as the development of a tornado … ” . Such small particles, their interactions and their physical characteristics can also be studied through quantum physics.

The minimum dimensional levels in biology include ultramicroscopic size from 1 to 200 nanometers, which allow the investigation of cellular ultrastructures, viruses and macromolecules with the electron microscope, while for the study of molecules and atoms below the nanometer size the survey with X-ray diffraction is used in the study of the molecular structure. In the animal cell, with the electron microscope, we can observe, for example, ribosomes which contain ribonucleic acid (RNA) and have a diameter of about 20 nm, the mitochondria, with a diameter of about 500 nm, the lysosomes, place of enzymatic processes and of biochemical functions, with a diameter ranging between 300 and 800 nm, the cytoplasmic membrane, with a thickness between 6 and 10 nm, which controls the passage of molecules and ions from the cell to the environment and vice versa.

Nanoparticles are smaller, so small that they could either enter in the food chain, or pass directly through cell membranes. It is precisely for this reason that they are used to convey medicines and trace elements, such as iron, as described above. Some of these substances can be useful, some harmless, others are dangerous.

In addition to those ones recently used in the industry of nanotechnology, particles, and thus nanoparticles, are already produced by the natural and man-made combustion, for instance by lightning, volcanic eruptions, fires, traffic, heating plants, power plants, industrial waste incinerators, and can contribute to air pollution.

Nanoparticles, nanomaterials and nanotechnologies represent a future not yet completely known, that comes to us and of which we must be aware . Absence of detection with the microscope, unpredictability of behavior, non-compliance with the laws of classical physics, and atomic dimensions suggest to manage them with the utmost caution and with full transparency.
