Metaphysics.

[G_x0a]

Although I am new to this forum and have not contributed anything yet, it is natural for me to notice that my comments are all directed towards the field of metaphysics, I have not studied this system but it sounds cool.

Hello people interested in metaphysics, please guide me.

If you mean imaginary physics, or some other mystical things, this really isn't the place for that.

What specifically are you interested in?

I try to stay completely away from it, but the term could have different contexts. I try to stay away from the why of things or the purpose of things, except in a dead matter context, or a mechanical physic purpose for a property or an interaction. An example would be the purpose of a neutron and it’s function in the nucleus.

When, where and why particles are here, or how made……… can not be answered.

I use an old physical model for mass and matter. Using motion that forms and powers the properties we measure about matter. And the mechanics of emission and absorption. Light/matter dynamics.

I try and stay away from any biophysics. Which involves probability, randomness and chaos.

My stage is cubic empty space, time and length pillars, and no probability, randomness and chaos is permitted.

The stage is the concept of physical reality. Maybe that could be called metaphysics.

It is much more restrictive and limited than the modern stage. Empty no property space is paramount. Another pillar. Only two forces plus an indirect one, and only two particles for the periodic table.

Another limitation.

And still explain the measurements of today. Which I attempt to do. With this stage.

But it all just hayseed supposition. A simple view.

I don't have any specific concerns at the moment. I think communicating on the forum will help me shape what's next.
Good day to you.

@Classical Motion: You are repeating the answer of an AI model. Funny.

 

[Classical Motion]

Really, how bout that. I hadn't read any of those AI comments, that I am aware of.

I have seen some interesting topics and have a rough idea of the universe for myself.
The reason I suggest metaphysics is still the subject of human beings in my research, about ideas, about the ability to record the results of measurements and then not need to measure anymore (shown by setting standards for everything). This makes me think like human beings are building the universe, not trying to describe the universe, and there are many hypotheses for this story.
I find it absurd, so I have to learn more about this human being to have a clearer view, maybe metaphysics is suitable. Standards built by ideas are very difficult to achieve, or not needed.

COLGeek, I don't believe that is entirely accurate.

In philosophy, metaphysics is the branch that explores the fundamental nature of reality, including questions about existence, being, and the universe. It delves into abstract concepts like time, space, causation, and the relationship between mind and matter, seeking to understand the most general features of reality. Essentially, metaphysics aims to understand what is real and how things are, beyond the realm of everyday experience.

For example:

The Big Bang theory proposes that the universe began from a state of extreme density and temperature, a singularity where all matter and energy were compressed into a single point. This is the point where the known laws of physics, including general relativity, are thought to break down.

In cosmology, a singularity refers to a point in spacetime where physical quantities like density or curvature become infinite, marking a breakdown in the applicability of general relativity. The Big Bang theory posits that the universe originated from a singularity, a point of infinite density and temperature. Metaphysically, the singularity raises questions about the nature of reality, the beginning of spacetime, and the limitations of our current understanding of physics.

Whilst it is sometimes used in a derogatory fashion, this is, by no means, its primary meaning.

Understood, completely. That is why I asked the clarifying question.

I did. Still the question remains regarding the specific interest of the OP. That is yet to be answered.

OK. Understood. Cat

Hello @COLGeek and @Catastrophe , I am planning to create an entity in real space just by thinking, please stop me.

you know, being able to describe exactly each participant in the story in common language is something that philosophers would avoid, I think they are wise, because they would not need to learn mathematics and they would not need to argue.
Maybe they use the why question and sit there for months just to avoid having to do the how question.

This sounds like science fiction, not science. Or, am I misunderstanding you?

Hmmm. "Why" questions are usually considered to be philosophical, or religious, questions. Metaphysics, IMO, still avoids such discourse, but I could be wrong.

Besides the singularity example by CAT, another example might be the Multiverse idea. Overlaying String Theory within the framework of quantum mechanics produces, apparently, some interesting results, which I think would be considered metaphysical.

Metaphysics, since it includes the word physics in its name, sounds better than "pseudoscience", but I would bet that the distinction can be found in the level of mathematics that can be applied.

If we look back a few centuries, perhaps the models that did incorporate the "why" viewpoint could be deemed metaphysical from today's point of view.

Ptolemy's orbit for Venus, for instance, might be one example of this in his huge math model. They asked him why he placed Venus between the Sun and the Earth, since his model would also work with Venus outside the orbit of the Sun. He said something like, "Why would God waste all that space?".

Yes, though is it more what science fiction does -- using the artistic license in assuming a future scientific answer -- thus avoiding the metaphysics label?

 

[G_x0a]

I don't know too. Try replacing "avoid" with "can contribute to the best of their ability while maintaining privacy for each other" or something that says they're shy about communicating, weirdos (them).

@Helio: I have searched that metaphysics refers to things that scholars will discuss after physics, maybe daily activities of wife and children or entertainment. I think it is a form of balancing life, it is that simple. And with the seriousness of physicists, balancing for these guys can only be the question "why".

 

[Helio]

Yes, another word for "meta" is "after". But I've only seen "metaphysics" used in the sense that it looks like physics. Like the person one sees in a mirror, perhaps. Almost there but not quite touchable.
