The American fathers in writing the Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution put the country on firm grounds towards a free and successful nation. Many of them had moved to America
to escape tyrants that had used religion to help their own Despotism. For this they did not trust in any connection
between religion and state and that they showed in the Constitution. They were though,
"religious persons", so later on they had written on every dollar of the currency "In God we trust". I do believe, as they did, that a godless society cannot survive, and therefore,
a godless science cannot either.
The desire
to find a more understandable and simple way to describe what constitutes the universal substance was not the only reason
for this writing.
My efforts have something to do with
a philosophical search for the spiritual force that in my view is undeniably present in nature. The existence of this force
cannot be mathematically proved or disproved, its presence being recognized only through circumstantial evidences.
In the science of particle physics, giving relevance to this force, is bringing
an unacceptable element of uncertainty. Since a spiritual force is immeasurable mathematically, the idea could void the concept
on which the science of quantum mechanics was founded.
In
removing from consideration the possibility of the existence of a natural force, which seams to me to be the main guide in
the evolution of the material phenomena as our human minds can perceive, will only preclude a greater understanding of reality.
We can see that, as far as particle physics is concerned, a stone as well as a brain is made exclusively by the same fundamental
particles, the differences of one object from the other being only in the configuration in space time of their elementary
parts.
If a pile of bricks can be compared in its
inner structure to the Colosseum, then where can we find a difference between the two if not outside the world of particles?
The space time relationships of the particles forming an object are giving it its properties and characteristics, but what
entity is ordering and organizing them in that particular object? If the color of light is represeuted by electromagnetic
waves each with a different frequency, what is that in our mind makes the transition from the mechanics of these material
vibrations to the perception of a specific color? When after experiencing a sensation transmitted through our nerves to our
brain, the mechanics of this process will transform it into psychological feelings? Why would an electromagnetic wave of a
certain wave length, first through our eyes than through our brain be perceived as the color green, while another wave slightly
different in length would be interpreted as red? At the time of Galileo and Newton these questions were not only important,
but were the reason for the study and the development of physics, but a further evolving physical science felt that it had
to discard those concepts that could not be measured in mathematical terms, thus necessarily developing in a materialistic
way.
The quantum theory, in describing a universe
of substantial particles and relying on observations based on experiments with accelerators and particle detectors, came to
believe in a cosmos born in a big bang explosion that created a sequence of events where each particle evolved from the other
in a continuous cosmic expansion, with every step necessarily following mathematical laws determined by experimentation, and
developed through mathematical equations relaying heavily on the probability calculus. No other version than this big bang
explosion is logically acceptable if we consider the Universal substance to be composed by particles acting on each other
in an otherwise empty space; this belief is therefore conductive to a materialistic world, where no other known force
is accepted to be interfering with the natural process of the cosmic explosion.
The world of particle physics in discarding any other possihle force in the universe than those created at a specific
time by a cosmic explosion, cannot come to a logical explanation or uoderstanding of our conscious living experiences.
This was another good reason for me to believe that there must be another explanation
for the evolution of the universal substance and that a revision was necessary to its postulated origillal hypothesis. The
energy that is constantly acting in the cosmos identified with mass or radiation is an essential part of its making, but as
we said before it cannot in itself answers satisfactorily the phenomenon consciously perceived in a universe exclusively constituted
by particles. The psychological and spiritual experiences we encounter cannot in any way be attributed to energetic particles
alone and therefore we must incontestably admit the existence of other intervening spiritual forces. The human brain can be
easily compared to a computer answering to and generating electrical impulse, while its ability in storing information could
be likened to tbe work of magnetic tapes, but in a similarity with these machines we cannot conceive a brain that can transform
these mechanical actions in human expressions without the help of a conscious programmer or interpreter. The only possible
programmer and interpreter of our brains must be our spiritual soul.
Possibly the programming of our brain takes place in our sleep, when the events experienced during the day are analyzed,
those of interest to our sole being stored in a conscious brain while the memory of those ideas less pertinent to us will
be pushed to reside in our subconscious.
In a new
hypothesis regarding the substance of matter a spiritual force necessarily joins the concept of field and energy, in order
to direct and organize the events in a way that our sole may consciously comprehend. The different hypothesis on the constitution
of matter that I am advancing, will not contradict tbe scientific finding following tbe quantum mechanic's theories, but it
may reach different conclusions that could lead us into a more understandable and a more human approach in scientific thinking
and may also clarify certain puzzling conclusions that we have presently reached but we fill uncomfortable with.
