Physics Selfproofs


Research in the Current Paradigm is devolutionary in character. There are two main forms of this devolution: either discoveries are made and explanations are sought or extrapolations are made and proof is sought. 

In contrast, the Malta Template is resolutely evolutionary. Following the Darwin Templature methodology, it kickstarts with the least substantial object that can be justified by the current factbase and evolves it forward in time and upward in size. Thereafter, the Template must selfprove by evolving from the kickstarting object into a Universe that looks and acts exactly as does the Universe about us - if it cannot do this the Template is wrong and must be rethought.

SELFPROOF 0104 - MASS

CURRENT PARADIGM
  • MASS is a property of a physical body. It is the measure of an object's resistance to acceleration (a change in its state of motion) when a net force is applied. It also determines the strength of its mutual gravitational attraction to other bodies.     .....   There are several distinct phenomena which can be used to measure mass. Although some theorists have speculated that some of these phenomena could be independent of each other, current experiments have found no difference in results, whatever way is used to measure mass:
    • Inertial mass measures an object's resistance to being accelerated by a force.
    • Active gravitational mass measures the gravitational force exerted by an object.
    • Passive gravitational mass measures the gravitational force exerted on an object in a known gravitational field.
    • Mass-energy measures the total amount of energy contained within a body. 
The mass of an object determines its acceleration in the presence of an applied force. The inertia and the inertial mass describe the same properties of physical bodies at the qualitative and quantitative level respectively, by other words, the mass quantitatively describes the inertia.  (Wikipedia - 10 Aug 2016)

MALTA TEMPLATE
COMMENTARY

That the Current Paradigm and the Malta Template come at the subject of mass from different directions is very apparent. In the Paradigm, phenomena have been identified and attempts are then made to reconcile them. In the Malta Template, these same phenomena arise naturally as the fundamental particle, the graviton, is evolved forward in time. The findings of the Template are:
  • That every graviton has measures of rejectivity and energy and thus has a measure of inertialmass.
  • That every graviton attracts every other graviton in the Universe and thus has a measure of active gravitationalmass.
  • That every graviton is attracted toward every other graviton in the Universe and thus has a measure of passive gravitationalmass.
  • That the absolute mass of an object is the sum of the masses of the gravitons out of which it is made - this is one element in the mass-energy of an object.
  • That the energy of an object is the sum of the energy of the gravitonpairs out of which it is made - this is the other element in the mass-energy of an object.
The Paradigm and the Template descriptions are not exactly the same. The Paradigm sees mass and energy as two aspects of the same property whereas the Template sees them as separate properties. This difference is not serious. It comes from the Paradigm and the Template approaching the subject from different directions. The devolutionary Paradigm researchers are comfortable dealing with particles the size of photons, at which level it is practical to see mass and energy as different aspects of the same property. They have not as yet established consensual ground rules for dealing with objects as insubstantial as gravitons and gravitons are the seed corn of the evolutionary Template. When the subject is considered at the graviton level it is clear that mass and energy are two separate and different properties. 

CONCLUSION

Apart from the minor difference with the mass-energy equivalence, the Malta Template description of mass fully agrees with that of the Current Paradigm - and evolves satisfactorily into the Universe we see about us. .
