Minimum Contradictions Everything

This book exposes a parallel between the situation that is known to exist in mathematics and a similar situation that must exist in physical theory. Just as Gödel argued that there exists a limitation on the provability of statements in mathematics, Nassikas argues that there exists a limitation on the consistency of statements in physics. The best one can do is to achieve a non-zero minimum of contradictions. That is because the description of physics involves not only Aristotelian logic, a perfect system closed unto itself, but also human language, an extraneous and always imperfect extra element. The resulting burden of contradiction means there is always some uncertainty left to us. That way of thinking about physics gives some rationale to the mysterious uncertainty apparently forced upon us by twentieth century quantum mechanics. It also sheds light on more recent related concerns, such as the Nature-like complexity emergent from the mathematics of fractal goemetry. And there are many technology related questions too, which can be illuminated in a different way by the line of thought developed in this book. PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Any Physics theory is stated via the basic communication system, which by the aid of a theorem can be proved as contradictory. Therefore, at best, a least contradictory Physics can be stated, based on a claim for minimum contradictions, which together with the theorem mentioned, constitute the core of this work. This Physics can be regarded as consequence of principles of thought; it is compatible, under certain simplifications, with Newtonian mechanics, relativity theory and QM. Finally this Physics is a Space-Time Quantum Mechanics that describes Minimum Contradictions Everything. On this basis, new explanations for various questions of physics can be given as the gravitation, the second thermodynamic law, the fractal behavior of matter systems and the interaction of the electromagnetic with the gravitational field. According to the spirit of this work, stochastic-quantum space-time appears to be fractal, and matter itself and any matter system behaves as if it had an ability to decide for its evolution. Thus, the basic property of Everything is volition whose however basic dimension is logic; this is the reason why things even though acting under their volition they appear to have a considerable logical behavior. According to this point of view, biological organizations have the ability to decide for their evolution, which is another approach to species evolution in general. This work originates from various articles, which have been presented at various conferences or published in various journals from 1994 until now. It is derived from purely mental principles in contrast to theories that condense the experience that has been revealed. Thus, in a logically linked way, under certain simplifications, Newton s gravitation law derives from mental principles and not from empirical observations as the falling apple is. The references cited in this work, excluding those that refer to mathematical conclusions, do not constitute source of validity but source of verification. I would like to thank deeply Prof. Dr. Benoit Mandelbrot for giving me permission to use on my cover one of his excellent fractal geometry landscapes. As Prof. Mandelbrot has showed, the geometry of matter systems appears to be fractal; therefore, it is expected that this fractal geometry can apply to any matter space-time system, as is suggested according to the present work. I would like to express my very deep thanks to Dr. M.C. Duffy, chairman of the PIRT Conferences, for his warm encouragement for this work to be written, for his valuable suggestions, for informing me on various modern questions, and for giving me forum for various articles to be presented and published.
