Reseña del libro "Notfinity Process: Matter-In-Motion (en Inglés)"
Notfinity Process: Matter-In-Motion 2nd edition challenges orthodox models in cosmology, consciousness, relativity physics. and most interpretations of quantum mechanics. In presenting alternatives to the standard theories of how the Universe functions, it synthesizes rational ideas in theoretical physics. It has 59 pages on the brain and consciousness.The abstraction of the notfinity process is an infinity of relationships, structures, and processes that persist while transient objects vary. In mathematics, infinite was first used in the 15th century to mean not finite. But now it is conceived too concretely as a representation of reality, rather than a negation of the finite. Therefore, Coyne suggests notfinity be used instead.His univironmental, deterministic worldview has aspects of classical mechanics, systems philosophy, and David Bohm's causal interpretation of quantum mechanics. He discusses invalid abstractions in physics, such as motion without matter, wave-particle duality, probability waves, cosmological expansion, Schrödinger's cat, and the idea that the Universe can't exist without observers. Relativity is shown to violate scientific assumptions, and to contain math errors. The book reveals absurdities in the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, and problems with Relativity and the Big Bang Theory, which is falsified in 66 different ways. It asserts that quantum mechanics and relativity can't be unified due to their deep flaws. Glenn Borchardt's Infinite Universe Theory, Universal Cycle Theory, and Neomechanical Gravitational Theory co-written with Stephen Puetz are described. Included are Duncan Shaw's aether papers on a new model for gravitation, his accounting for quantum entanglement, and his September 2020 paper On Maxwell's 1865 theory of Aether: A Step Toward Unity.Other topics are an explanation for the two-slit experiment, Maxwell's aether, energy, dark matter candidates, the cosmological principle, alternatives to the galactic redshift interpretation, Modern Mechanics Theory, and an aether gravity model. A chapter on Bohm and Hiley's approach explains causality and chance, pilot waves, and the undivided universe. There are several relevant letters sent to the author by physicists David Peat, and Basil Hiley who won the Majorana Prize for Best Person in Physics. Both were friends of David Bohm and co-wrote books with him.The chapter on the brain, mind, self, and consciousness offers an interesting perspective on being for. Coyne proposes that the fully-functioning brain equates with consciousness. The hard problem is examined. Coyne contends that matter in motion generates perceptions, which the brain interprets based on the mind's neuronal patterns. The difference between awareness and consciousness, the cause of dualistic confusion, and a description of the Global Workplace Theory are discussed. Logical answers are given to questions on consciousness. Also covered are self-awareness, Antonio Damasio's model, negative implications from brain studies on free will, the evolutionary benefit of advanced mental processes, neuroscience discoveries, higher-order thought theory, and other topics.Coyne is on the Board of Directors of John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society and heads the Vancouver office of the Progressive Science Institute. He writes for Beyond Mainstream Science and contributes blogs to thecientificworldviewblogspot.com. Duncan Shaw wrote: "George Coyne is an original thinker who engages his readers with remarkable clarity and insight."Coyne was interviewed about Notfinity Process (1st ed) in 2017 at https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdjWL1PhACk and "Problems with the Big Bang Theory" on July 10, 2021. https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWPuVO5vIiQ.
