Cosmology Prediction & 2 Expansions of the Universe Confirmed 26 Years Later by Prof.-Dr. Benjamin Gal-Or

Cosmology Prediction & 2 Expansions of the Universe Confirmed 26 Years Later Benjamin Gal-‐Or Editor-‐in-‐Chief, Intenational Journal of Turbo & Jet Engines Galor1benjamin@gmail.com ABSTRACT-‐SUMMARY: The first ever, 1972 cosmology prediction [1] republished in 1981 by a worldwide acclaimed book "Cosmology, Physics and Philosophy" [5], claims that (i) verified, fast-‐flowing, stellar and galactic winds irreversibly dissipate in (1964 detected) inter-‐galactic, coldest, cosmic voids, whereby, under momentum conservation, compact galaxies into Clusters of Voids Each Encircled by "Walls" ("COVEEW") within a newly defined expanding "SPACE-‐1" (FIG. 1), which generates energy gradients in Non-‐Expanding SPACES "2" and "3", that allow (i) any stellar evolution, (ii) generation of the elements planets and life, (iii) reverse earlier, gravity-‐caused, slowing down expansion rate of the universe into an accelerated one confirmed 26 years later, in 1998 -‐-‐ against the scientific community convictions -‐-‐ and again in 2016. This work revives the 1972 Gold-‐Awarded New Astrophysical School of Themodynamics ("NAST") [1], which refutes obsolete association of human "Order and Entropy" to the universe, [1-‐6[. Since fundamental equations of physics are symmetric under time and space or prediction and retrodiction reversals, NAST adds a hidden, second, neglected simultaneous expansion of the universe as inter alia the generator of the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Basic Definitions of NAST DYNAMICS

FIG. 1: "CLUSTER I" and II represent mid-‐term effect of the 2nd simultaneous expansion of the universe, namely, prior to being further compacted into superclusters and filaments (FIG. 1). "RADIATION ENERGY DENSITY" vs. "DISTANCE" defines "DIRECTION OF NET RADIATION FLOW" as "3rd COSMOLOGICAL ARROW", generate energy-‐density gradients that lead to the "2nd COSMOLOGICAL ARROW", that represents "EXPANDIND SPACE "1" CONFINED TO THE COLD-‐DARK, INTERGALACTIC VOIDS and NOT involving spaces "2" and "3" within the filaments, within galaxies, within stellar systems, within planetary systems.

"VOIDS/SPACE "1" is thus the sole MASTER of world phenomena that lead to the emergence of life in non-‐expanding gravitational systems, [5].

FIG. 2: The scientific community has not only neglected NAST DYNAMICS [1-‐6], but ignores factual evidence that (a) supports two simultaneous expansions of the universe that (b) compact galaxies into clusters (Fig. 1), (c) further compact the clusters into the well-‐recorded superclusters of galaxies as 'Filaments Structures' ("FS") or COVEEW, (d) provide the sole verifiable cause for reversing early slowing down of the expansion of the

universe by gravity into accelerating expansion, as discovered in 1998. NOTE THE 100 MILLION LIGHT YEARS SCALE. The four yellow arrows depicted should be inserted into each and all recorded dark voids to illustrate that opposing, rocket-‐type-‐winds compact galaxies from both opposing sides of each filament, thus accelerating the expansion of each and OF all, collectively. THESE ARROWS REPRESENT super-‐fast "winds" that are emitted from any opposite filament sides, thus keeping thrust-‐compacting each, like opposing rockets. The net result is thrusting away each and all voids' "filaments borders", "Walls" or FS. Interim conclusion: MOST IMPORTANT is not just refuting unsubstantiated, mysterious DARK ENERGY, but wrongly induced dictums associated with it in Hawking type media festivals vs. understanding the 1981 predictions behind FIG. 1 definitions of "SPACE "1".

Expanding SPACE "1" vs. Non-‐Expanding SPACES "2" and "3"

Fig. 3: SPACE-‐"2" wraps all non-‐expanding galaxies [Fig. 1] and non-‐expanding SPACE-‐"3" where super-‐fast, interstellar winds, flow out to SPACE-‐"2" and next, irreversibly dissipate in SUPER-‐ COLD EXPANDING FILAMENT COMPACTING SPACE-‐"1", composed of 2nd-‐expansion of the

universe VOIDS located between all Super-‐Clusters-‐filaments of galaxies. [Figures 1 to 2].

Fig. 4: This figure does not show the astronomy verified chain of facts that the galaxies depicted have been later compacted first into clusters (Fig. 2) then further compacted into super-‐clusters 'FILAMENTS' that surround each

and all cold, expanding, intergalactic voids, or what had been defined by Volume I of this Cosmology, Physics and Philosophy series, an independently expanding SPACE-‐"1" by the inflowing stellar and galactic winds (Figs. 2 & 3).

Fig. 5: The earliest detected intergalactic voids (dark blue) vs. early galaxies that radiate galactic-‐stellar winds (Fig. 2). These voids have been expanding with the Big-‐Bang expansion (Figs. 1 to 4). As the number and intensities of emitters has increased, the thermodynamic processes defined by Figs. 1 to 3, have established an independent, second, simultaneous expansion of the universe. Source: The cosmic background radiation discovered in 1964.

The MASTER ARROW OF TIME These definitions also present the (1) MASTER OF TIME ASYMMETRIES, (2) THE ROOT CAUSE of the 2ND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS, (3) The largest, expanding, un-‐saturable, thermodynamic sink of disposed energy from the surfaces of active emitters in the universe.

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES (1)

Deterministic physics and engineering may begin with symmetric partial differential equations. To agree with observations, asymmetry is forced on in presented or published 'proofs', that proceed only under imposed INITIAL CONDITIONS (for future time evolution), while rejecting FINAL CONDITIONS (for symmetric past time 'evolution'.).

(2)

Common example: Retarded solutions in electromagnetism that conform with observations are in, while ADVANCED SOLUTIONS (which do not conform with observations.) are out.

(3)

FIG. 2 defines the most important energy-‐densities gradients that keep allowing and maintaining stellar evolution.

(4)

Each void-‐sink removes energy from emitters around it by its very increase in volume.

1. Stars cannot evolve without disposing its inner energy. 2. That energy is irreversibly removed from their surfaces and being disposed in the depths of 2 expansions that generate the largest sink of the universe.

3. WHEREFORE, without the 2nd simultaneous expansion of the universe, all heavy elements in the universe, including the elements essential to generate life, like oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, are impossible.

4. Also impossible without the 2nd expansion are supernovae, that allow planets to be formed and life to emerge by gravitation – a complicated process that is described next.

5. Localized black holes at the center of galaxies, and elsewhere, should

be accounted for, but their effects do not change these predictions, assertions and facts as detailed herein and by Volume I.

6. Existence of super-‐fast, stellar-‐galactic winds that are becoming strong

during the last 6 or so billion years, has been well-‐verified by all astronomic observations.

7. Such winds are flowing into each, almost equally distributed intergalactic voids.

8. The voids themselves are present from earlier time, as proven by the 1964-‐discoveed black-‐body radiation. Fig. 5.

9. The winds originate in and emerge only from inside the filaments that surround each void – and spread out from the opposite sides of each filament.

10.

The winds enter each void from all 3D-‐directions, thus causing each and all to enhance the expansion rate the inertia remnant of the Big-‐Bang expansion. FIGS. 1, 4.

11.

Subject to momentum conservation, like in opposing rockets in space, the super-‐fast winds on both opposing sides of any filament or void border [FIG. 1] thrust-‐push-‐away both border-‐ sharing-‐voids from each other, collectively providing extra expansion-‐ thrusting-‐away against all other similarly expanding voids – the 2nd expansion of the universe neglected or rejected by all proponents of theoretical physics, astrophysics, astronomy, cosmology and the various philosophies of physics, thermodynamics, space sciences and the origin of life.

12.

This process not only compacts galaxies into clusters and next into superclusters and filaments, but reverses earlier, gravity-‐induced, decelerated expansion of the universe.

13.

These newly defined dynamics generate energy-‐densities gradients (Fig. 2) that allow all stellar evolution by removing energy from emitters to the largest energy sink in the universe, without which, no heavy elements, supernova, planets and life are possible.

14. There is no transfer of energy from one expanding void to another due to uniform distribution of intergalactic voids in SPACE-‐ 1.

15.

Almost all dissipating stellar-‐galactic winds originate from stars and galaxies that surround each void

16.

A minor fraction of these winds proceeds across the universe to reach our telescopes, allowing NASA and other sources to record FIG. 1.

17.

Various claims and dictums are refuted by this newly defined world outlook, factual dynamics and associated new revolutionary theories in science and philosophy [1-‐6].

18.

Wheeler-‐Feynman static-‐space-‐theory should be redefined for two simultaneous space expansions between emitters and absorbers.

19.

Dark energy claims -‐-‐ and associated attempts to change general relativity -‐-‐ should be replaced by these two proven simultaneous expansions of the universe and associated revolutionary theories.

20.

Quantum-‐statistics/probabilities

are symmetric for prediction AND retrodiction. A common self-‐fooling example: Predictions that conform with observations are accepted "proofs" or theorems or dictums or "aws of physics, while the rejected retrodiction is not "legal" in obsolete science because it is simply thrown out the window. Thus, such procedures do not constitute any 'proof' of 2nd law, unless one fools himself and fellow scientists.

21.

Endless known linguistic game-‐terminologies exist -‐ aimed to (wrongly) "justify" symmetry breaking. Beyond being fundamentally wrong, some prevent quantum model unification with deterministic Einsteinian Gravity Physics (general relativity). But this is not to be further treated herein.

Interim Concluding Remarks 1. Super-‐fast stellar-‐galactic winds flow from filaments to voids on both sides of each next dissipate in each attached dark-‐cold void. FIG. 2.

2. Entering each void from all 3D directions, momentum conservation dictates thrust-‐push of all filaments-‐voids-‐systems voids away from each other, collectively providing extra expansion away from all other similarly expanding voids.

3. This process is herein defined 2nd, simultaneous, accelerated expansion of the universe as one interconnected-‐system termed EXPANDING VOIDS/SPACE-‐1. FIG. 2.

4. The net result of these SPACE-‐1-‐Dynamics is compacting most galaxies first into clusters secondly into superclusters and filaments that are thus locked and compacted between all these voids. FIG. 1).

5. The 2nd expansion is integrated with and affects the 1st gravity-‐induced slowing down of the Einstein-‐Hubble expansion since the Big-‐Bang. FIG. 4. 6. SPACE-‐1-‐Expansion (FIG. 2) gradually causes REVERSAL of the earlier, decelerated expansion of the universe, into a slightly accelerated one affirmed by the 1998 discovery of slightly accelerated expansion of the universe, namely, there is no need for any un-‐measurable, mystic, dark energy to explain these observed records or to modify Einstein's general relativity (gravity physics).

Induced Assertions of NAST DYNAMICS Assertion 1: Gravity Selection is, in fact, “Natural selection”. The first local "aggregates" of matter in the solar system have already contained gas, supernovae debris, dust, rocks. It was gravity that stratified these compounds in ‘horizontal’ layers according to their “specific gravity”, a term to used below in modified “natural selection”. The atmosphere and geological strata wee ordered-‐selected by specific gravity of their chemical components. It was gravity that put the early components of living systems at one and the same strata for life to begin. Gravity is therefore the universal builder of structures, including all chemistry in the cores of gravitationally pressed-‐heated stars [Fusion in Lecture 1, CPP, Ref. 8], geological strata, earth morphology the entire evolution of life, village/city structures, transportation systems, linguistic hierarchy, recorded symbols, letters, grammar vs. time, structure of sentences, pages, books. The origin of temporal behavior in animals can be traced out to gravity-‐ induced forces. Even “innate patterns" are wrongly dissociated from simple movements in the field of gravitation, i.e., as "up-‐ward-‐downward" balancing of the biological body vis-‐à-‐vis the gravity pointers in each biological cell. Gravity periodicities around the sun emerge as prime sources of order via time and the arrow of time [Lecture 1]. Assertion 2: Gravity-‐Induced human concepts "Orientation" and "Order" Using gravity pointers we say ‘up’, ‘down’, ‘left’, ‘right’ and generate symbols, codes, signs, numbers and letters for a later use and for other to read. Animals are also 'conscious' of the commonly-‐shared "up-‐ down" surroundings, and about "weight" and acceleration. Plants also harbor innate sensors that guide them in which direction to grow

even on a mountain slope. Additional examples range from gyroscope inertial changes, balancing machines, heading indicators and gravity-‐induced changes involving the fluid in the vertebrate inner ear to a crystallizing suspension of organic spheres in water. Assertion 3: Gravity-‐induced Plant Growth and Animal Behavior The sensing devices which plants and animals use for "gravity perception" ("gravity receptors", "g-‐ perception", "bio-‐ accelerometers", "gravity-‐ induced biological clocks", etc.) are not yet well understood, even though a voluminous literature has been published on this subject. But what we already know justifies the central role we claim gravity plays in living systems and society. Plants ‘know’ to grow vertically upward when, undisturbed, they start growing in total darkness as seeds inserted deep into the ground; -‐-‐ even when they grow on a steep mountain slope. As most high-‐growing trees they align their growth under the control of the gravity vector. Assertion 4: Gravity-‐controlled adaptations of organisms If a growing higher plant is displaced with respect to the "upright" position, some tens of minutes later it will adapt its growth in such a way as to restore its original orientation in coincidence with the gravity vector. (If it is displaced only briefly and then restored to its original orientation well before the growth response can set in, it still responds to that displacement.) Gravity-‐induced orientation-‐adaptation of an organism may occur when an organism orients itself by a gravity-‐induced gradient of density differences or hydrostatic pressure. Small organisms (including all bacteria) may have no means for sensing gravity, but they are affected by it. Animals low on the evolutionary scale

characteristically exhibit innate patterns that depend little on learning, and have a lesser adaptability to changes in the environment. Consequently, their dependence on heredity-‐geophysical-‐gravitational origins is ‘high’ in proportion to animals that are ‘high’ on the evolutionary scale. While the latter show some signs of innate patterns, they harbor a greater capacity to produce a much more flexible mechanism to respond to a variety of other external changes that stimulate them. The evolutionary origin of the so-‐called "innate ideas" may, therefore, be external rather than internal. Even the computer page is ordered by up, bottom, left, right margins and footnotes. And it takes time to read them and to comprehend them; the time that always advances from past to future; the time that we term Linguistic Arrow of Time. Similarly, gravity-‐induced ordering of shelves, files, documents and books in a library introduces order into our life. Assertion 5: Gravity-‐Chained Seconds, Minutes, Days, Years Whole civilizations religions constructed on gravity-‐induced orientability, concepts, spirituality, art, music, home structure, wells, canals, trade roads, agriculture, and even law enforcement by hanging. Such gravity-‐induced cultural phenomena may proceed beyond grammar and social order into the spiritual and hierarchical cultures, and have been domains: High priest, low deck, high commissioner, and highness, heaven, lofty, go to the bottom of the subject, etc. [see below]. Assertion 6: Gravity Caused Biological Clocks The origin of temporal behavior in animals can be traced back in time and out to external physical influences. Gravity and geophysical periodicities thus emerge as prime sources of order and information in all non-‐living and living systems. Animals low on the evolutionary scale depend little on learning, and have a lesser adaptability to changes in the environment. Consequently, their dependence on heredity-‐geophysical-‐gravitational origins is high in proportion to animals high on the evolutionary scale.

Assertion 7: Vertigo v. Loss of Coordination-‐Balancing Biological structures in the inner ear include semicircular canals and a fluid that moves by gravity force, and activates a system that transmits linear and rotational motions vis-‐à-‐vis the gravity vector to the vestibular nerve, which carries these signals through the brainstem to our brain cerebellum, which, in turn, uses them to control our balancing, orientation, coordination and movement. The vestibular system in our ears comprises two semi-‐circular ‘canals’, which are used to indicate our rotational movements, and otoliths, which indicate linear translations. Vertigo is a loss of coordination, balancing and orientation vis-‐à-‐vis space and the gravity-‐induced horizon. The vestibular system sends signals primarily to the neural structures that control our eye movements, and to the Cerebellum-‐muscles system that keeps us upright and helps maintain clear vision-‐orientation vs. the gravity vector. Assertion 8: Biological Cells, Reproduction, Immunity System & Gravity Gravity causes changes in cell division, metabolism and the immunity system. Reproduction is also impaired and the immune cells cannot differentiate into mature cells in low or zero gravity conditions attainable in space craft. The size of a biological cell depends on the local gravity vector – its size increases in larger local gravitational field-‐force values. Bone cells must attach themselves to something and will die if they cannot. Without the gravity force-‐ field they float around and perish. When animals evolve on land, outside the oceans, they develop stronger skeletons to cope with larger gravity forces vis-‐à-‐ vis the reduced one due to buoyancy in the waters. Earlier life forms in the oceans were smaller and had a jellyfish-‐like configuration. Thus, without strong skeletons, land animals cannot evolve.

Assertion 9: Gravity-‐Induced Tropism and Social Dynamics of Animals Gravimorphism, gravitropism and tropism are directional movements of a plant with respect to a directional stimulus. One such tropism is gravimorphism -‐-‐ the growth or movement of a plant with respect to gravity. Plant roots grow in the direction of gravity while shoots and stems grow against it. Gravity generates structures and controls all geological layers and global phenomena ranging from mountain crests, gravity-‐induced tectonic folds, valleys, beaches, oceans and lagoons, to springs, wells, swamps, glaciers and rivers, and the bio-‐systems connected with them. Assertion 10: Gravity Induced Rules of Grammar and Social Life Without gravity-‐induced orientation-‐order and so induced time-‐space grammar we are lost in any given written language. Gravity-‐induced grammar prevents us from vertical reversals. Similarly, horizontal reversals prevent us, say, from reversals of W to M. There are more complicated gravity-‐induced grammar rules. They range from preventing reversal of past into future, and vice versa, to use gravity-‐induced structures as reference. Assertion 11: Gravity-‐Vector-‐Detectors of Trees Spacial Gravity-‐sensing-‐cells function as detectors of the direction of the gravity vector on earth. The fluid-‐particles systems inside our cells initiate inner convective currents that change under zero gravity. Thus, the absence of gravity affects the contacts of cells via their membrane potential and their cytoskeletons. Gravity-‐Induced Village and City Structures Gravity generates structures and controls all geological layers and global

phenomena ranging from mountain crests, tectonic folds, geological uplifts, valleys, village and city structures, transportation systems, oceans and lagoons, to springs, wells, swamps, glaciers and rivers, as well as the ecological-‐systems connected with them. Assertion 12: Gravity-‐induced Life Evolution and Health The evolution and everyday functioning of our bones, legs, hips, joints, cartilages, ligaments, femurs, tibia, pelvis and muscles, has been "in response" to the force and direction of gravity. Gravity plays a key factor in hygiene and in heart failure associated with swollen legs, in flooded lungs, walking, sleeping needs, etc. Nevertheless, the cardinal role gravity plays in the treatment of gravity-‐ induced disorders in biological systems, human perception, health and longevity, has been largely overlooked by health providers and researchers, partly because the key role of gravity as the universal generator of all socio-‐ gravity-‐dynamics, has not yet been well understood and investigated Assertion 13: Mathematical illusions of False Proofs of the Origin of Irreversibility in Nature

Initial conditions are also symmetric with final conditions. If one a priori selects only initial conditions, one fools himself that a proof was made, and again the conclusion is as stated above. Linguistics foolings are also ve common: E.g., "the particles were "un-‐correlated" and then "correlated", therefore …. or other linguistic manipulations that had been well-‐reviewed and published as articles of top science proofs. This includes the semi-‐sacrosact Boltzman Theorem, and endless statistical and quantum theories claimed "proofs".

Some artificially imposed, non cosmological 'SYMMETRY BREAKING' are imposed on various string mathemacal games that preseve quantum axioms and similar failing attempts to unify the standard quantum model with Einstein's deterministic gravity physics -‐-‐ which only block unification. It is like Nobel-‐Laurate-‐Prigogine hiding his smuggling asymmetry into symmeric dynamic equations to present false 'proofs' before laymen, editors, the public and Nobel-‐awards-‐ people and their friends, that fraudulently (mathmatically) agree that he had indeed found the final, greatest universal proof vis-‐a-‐vis all previously failed attempts. And he secured the Nobel for smuggling asymmetry into symmery equations without declaring his contraband.

Appendix

Published Review of Volume I

"Einstein's time-‐symmetric tensor was elevated by Gal-‐Or’s “New Astronomical School of Unified Thermodynamics” to the status of the source of “Master Asymmetry” controlling not only irreversible thermodynamics, but all physical and biological phenomena! Gal-‐Or calls “GRAVITISM” (his philosophy) that gravitation is the prime cause of structures, irreversibility, time, geo-‐chemical and biological evolution -‐-‐ that the expansion of the universe is the cause of the second law of thermodynamics -‐-‐ that microscopic physics, and thermodynamics in particular, cannot be understood without reference to cosmology. He ties “irreversibility” to the “expansion of space itself”, i.e. as far as space is expanding, the contribution of all kinds of radiation in space is weakened “irreversibly” due to the expansion phenomenon itself. Such loss, or “degradation” of energy in the depth of inter-‐cluster expanding space, may then be considered as a universal sink for all the radiation flowing out of the material bodies in the expanding universe.” Advancement of Physics "Gal-‐Or launches a new spirit of inquiry by his excellent and thought provoking writings. I would recommend awarding a prize and would hope that this would serve to focus attention on a most important subject.” Gold Award by N.Y. Academy of Science AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICS: “Gal-‐Or's remarkable book sees and seizes the world whole. He emphasizes that all scientists operate under some set of philosophical prejudices, and that failure to acknowledge this is self-‐delusion. Furthermore, he argues that a failure to attend to the philosophical base of physics leads to an empty scientism.

His work is challenging on many levels, constituting a review 'with derivations' of general relativity 'as applied to cosmology', thermodynamics, the current state of theoretical particle physics, astrophysics, as well as a summary history of western philosophy, 'especially the philosophies of time and mind' and critiques of western society, the intelligentsia and the relationship between academic science and government. One 'and perhaps the central' theme explored, is that of the interplay between symmetry and asymmetry. His primary interest is not in the recent progress in the unification of forces in gauge theory, although he finds support in it for his Einsteinian outlook, but is rather time, time's arrow, and the asymmetry between past and future. Around time are accumulated discussions, both mathematical and philosophical, of thermodynamic reversibility, time reversibility, the nature of causality, and the use of advanced and retarded solutions to wave equations. The second major theme is that of gravity and its overwhelming domination of the actual form of the universe, at all scales. The combination of these themes is not accidental; they are point and counterpoint to his thesis that the time asymmetries are connectable to and perhaps even determined by the master asymmetry given by the gravity of general relativity: the remorseless cosmological expansion. He argues that only the expansion can provide the unification of time asymmetries. The expansion provides, among other things, an unsaturable sink for radiation, which, in turn, permits the establishment of gradients in temperature and density, which provide the basis for the physical process that leads to life. He also criticizes the sloppy and improper use of the concepts of entropy 'and the related notions in information theory' and quantum indeterminism, especially as covers for an inadequate understanding of temporal asymmetries. Taking an Einsteinian position on the interpretation of quantum mechanics, he looks forward to revitalization of Einstein's quest for a deterministic interpretation of quantum events.

The value of this book lies in the challenging combination of ideas which Gal-‐Or presents, which goes far beyond what can be sensibly described in a review. [This] work may be too large to digest as a text in these days of the decline of academic institutions "as Gal-‐Or describes them", but that will be the loss of both the faculty and the students.” AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICS

I feel as if I had been on numerous walks and talks with you on the great questions, and know that would be great to go on with them! Who cannot be impressed by your love for the great men of all times and all countries, by your phrase “working back and forth between theory and fact”, by your belief that philosophy is too important to be left to the philosophers, by your concern for where thought and language lie in the scheme of things – and by so much more! I continue to reflect, again and again, on your central thesis that expansion is the origin of all asymmetry in time. What an ingenious phrase is your,

“smuggle irreversibility in without declaring the contraband”! I regard your book as seeking to accomplish two tasks – and being two books – at the very least One is the exposition of your central thesis, with clarity, and careful mustering of every argument pro and con that can lead to testable consequences. I don’t see how it is possible to do proper justice to a thesis of such importance by mixing it in with the other great task. That is to give students an appreciation of the unity of philosophy and modern physics. You do both tasks far better than I could hope to. I give you my personal thanks for putting the two books into a pacackage that I personally have found most thought-‐provoking.” Prof. John Wheeler, Inst. of Advanced Studies, Princeton University
