“The world of existence
Came into being through
the heat generated from
the interaction between
the active force and that
which is its recipient.
These two are the same,
yet they are different.”1
– Baha’u’llah
Everything in nature is a manifestation of four interdependent entities: matter, fields of force, space and time. In other words; all natural formations, events and processes are only certain ingredients of matters, their movements and positions in the space. Following examples illustrate the above statement.
Various atoms are formed each by a specific movement arrangement of the same subatomic particles by the effect of the natural forces. The difference between gold and lead for instance, is only the number of identical subatomic particles that are combined to form lead or gold. Electricity is the movement of free electrons. Heat is vibrational, rotational or transitional, i.e. every kind of movement of molecules or atoms which of corse is caused by the applied forces. Chemical reactions are displacement of electrons between atoms that form all chemical compositions including the organic materials of living species. Phenomena on larger scales are also cases of movement of matter caused by those forces; such as evaporation of water, formation of clouds, precipitation, wind, day and night, seasons, formation of solar system and beyond. Analyzations of all phenomena as far as sciences allow show the cases of matter, force and its movement in space. That is; movement as the result of “active force applied on its recipient”. The movement also describes what the “TIME and its PASSAGE” means:
For any particle to move from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’ the particle must pass through all the points in between ‘A’ and ‘B’. As our particle moves from a point to the next, everything else in the entire universe which all are connected to each other by the reciprocal force of gravitation2 are also moving, i.e. the entire universe is changing. As examples; clock’s minute-hand turns trice and the earth turns 45.123 degrees on its axis, changing day to night, which is the passage of time. In other words the universe conditions for the above particle at point ‘B’ is different from the universe conditions at point ‘A’ and all the points in between that we know it as passage of time. Another way to understand time is imagining a universe without time. Imagine that the above particle moves from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’ without anything else in the entire universe to move (change). In that imaginary universe, our particle moves from ‘A’ to ‘B’ but time does not exist because conditions of the universe would be the same for the particle at point ‘A’ and point ‘B’. Therefore there would be no change and no passage of time as the particle moves from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’. In that case the velocity or speed of the particle is meaningless because velocity is the distance between ‘A’ & ‘B’ divided by the passing of time. Without time, movement of the particle with the speed of light would be the same as if it moves with the speed of turtle! You may say the instantaneous movement or speed of infinity which is of course impossible since the universe is never standstill.
Now let’s think of the history of space/time. According to the “Big Bang” theory with convincing evidences! the universe began with the greatest explosion from what is called a primal point. That single point contained the entire universe’s material and forces. Therefore it is called the “Singularity Point”. Regarding the energy, please refer to my article ”The Nature of Photon”. In that article I explain that unlike matter and force that are real natural entities, energy is only a man-made mathematical relation between force, matter and its movement, not a separate real natural entity. If one asks what was before the singularity point and how it came to be and of the size and position of the primal point and duration of time before the explosion; The answer, regarding; what was before singularity point and how it became and its size, the answer would be: Science is quiet regarding phenomena when we do not have any evidence. Regarding its, position and time, the answer would be: ‘The lone singularity point could move from where to where or closer or farther from what?’ Without the existence of a reciprocative force with anything else, space did not exist and moving, (changing) and time were all non existence.
To better understand space and time, imagine that instead of the Big Bang explosion of its particles in all directions, That singularity point exploded only in two halves, moving away from each other. Then there would have been a one dimensional space, i.e. the line between the two halves. The other dimensions of forward/backward and up/down each perpendicular to say then existing right/left line were meaningless and none existence. In that imaginary case, the two halves could only be lines of force moving away from each other in a one dimensional space. Now let’s imagine that in the Big Bang explosion the singularity point exploded into three parts. Then there would have been a two dimensional space as only a flat surface, where only lines of force could exist but not any matter that must exist in a three dimensional space. With the ‘Big Bang’ explosion in all three directions and the gravitational force as “the inherent quality of matter” between all exploding particles, then there was a three dimensional space and time. The gravitational force caused the gradual reduction of the enormous velocities of those primary particles and even the relative movements of some towards each other, e.i. change. Without the reciprocative gravity force, that is without any interaction between the exploding particles, all would have moved with their constant velocities like if no other thing existed. With no effect from anything else, each one would have been as a lone primary point. In other words: without gravity, movement between two, three or any number of small or large masses are of no consequence. Therefore distance/space and time were meaningless. It is though that the reciprocative gravity force of matter is the cause of space and time existence. Close to massive stars, gravity force lines are very dense, while far from those massive bodies, i.e. empty spaces with light years distances from stars, the gravitation is weak. Since gravity force causes distance/space an existing phenomenon, we can say that space is dense near massive stars and thin in spaces light years from the stars.
Newton discovered that the gravity force between, say two spheres of matter is proportionally related to the masses of the two spheres and reversely related to the square of distance between the two. In other words, the gravity force is reduced by the square of distance. That is, exactly like a beam of light from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’, Fig. I, which the intensity of light reduces by the square of distance. Fig. I shows a cone of light where the radius of the cone cross-section, (a circle) increases proportionally to the distance, therefore the area of cross-section circle increases by the square of distance and as the result the intensity of light decreases by the square of distance, exactly like Newton’s gravity force relation. It is like if gravity force is the combination of streams of force lines between two masses of matter?
