2. Searching the true laws of thermodynamics.
Definition of time as "temperature of atom"
Heisenberg wrote: "This use of the language is in many ways quite satisfactory,
since it reminds us of a similar use of the language in daily life or in
poetry. We realize that the situation of complementarity is not confined
to the atomic world alone; we meet it when we reflect about a decision
and the motives for our decision or when we have the choice between enjoying
music and analyzing its structure. On the other hand, when the classical
concepts are used in this manner, they always retain a certain vagueness,
they acquire in their relation to
"reality" only the same statistical significance as the concepts of
classical thermodynamics in its statistical interpretations.
Therefore, a short discussion of these statistical concepts of thermodynamics
may be useful.
The concept "temperature" in classical thermodynamics seems to describe
an objective feature of reality, an objective property of matter. In daily
life it is quite easy to define with the help of a thermometer what we
mean by stating that a piece of matter has a certain temperature. But
when we try to define what the
temperature of an atom could mean we are, even in classical physics,
in a much more difficult position.
Actually we cannot correlate this concept "temperature of the
atom" with a well-defined property of the
atom but have to connect it at least partly with our insufficient knowledge
of it. We can correlate the value
of the temperature with certain statistical expectations about the
properties of the atom, but it seems rather doubtful whether an expectation
should be called objective. The concept "temperature of the atom" is
not much better than the concept "mixing" in the story about the boy
who bought mixed sweets.
In a similar way in quantum theory all the classical concepts are,
when applied to the atom, just as well and
just as little defined as the "temperature of the atom"; they are correlated
with statistical expectations; only in
rare cases may the expectation become the equivalent of certainty.
Again, as in classical thermodynamics,
it is difficult to call the expectation objective. One might perhaps
call it an objective tendency or possibility,
a "potentia" in the sense of Aristotelian philosophy. In fact, I believe
that the language actually used by
physicists when they speak about atomic events produces in their minds
similar notions as the concept "potentia." So the physicists have gradually
become accustomed to considering the electronic orbits, etc.,
not as reality but rather as a kind of "potentia." The language has
already adjusted itself, at least to some
extent, to this true situation. But it is not a precise language in
which one could use the logical patterns; it is
a language that produces pictures in our mind, but together with them
the notion that the pictures have only
a vague connection with reality, that they represent only a tendency
toward reality. …
The vagueness of this language in use among the physicists has therefore
led to attempts to define a
different precise language which follows definite logical patterns
in complete conformity with the
mathematical scheme of quantum theory. …
This concept of "state" would then form a first definition concerning
the ontology of quantum theory. One
sees at once that this use of the word "state", especially the term
"coexistent state", is so different from the
usual materialistic ontology that one may doubt whether one is using
a convenient terminology. On the other hand, if one considers the word
"state" as describing some potentiality rather than a reality - one may
even simply replace the term "state" by the term "potentiality" - then
the concept of "coexistent potentialities" is
quite plausible, since one potentiality may involve or overlap other
potentialities. …
In the experiments about atomic events we have to do with things and
facts, with phenomena that are just
as real as any phenomena in daily life. But the atoms or the elementary
particles themselves are not as real;
they form a world of potentialities or possibilities
rather than one of things or facts. " (End of quotation.)
The modern physicists reason in the following way: "Before thermodynamics
was created the "concept" of
time was absent in the classical physics in the way, in what it is
considered in real life and in sciences
studying processes, proceeding in time and having the history. Though
time as variable quantity is including
in all equations of the classical and quantum mechanics, nevertheless
it does not reflect internal changes
which occur in the system. For this very reason in the equations of
physics mathematical character of time
can be changed for its opposite, i.e. date it with the future as well
as the past. The situation has
considerably changed after physicist have closely engaged themselves
in the study of thermal processes,
the laws of which were formulated in classical thermodynamics. If former
dynamics have described
movements of bodies under the influence of external forces, deliberately
declining from internal changes occurring in mechanical systems, the thermodynamics
was compelled to investigate physical processes at
various transformations of a thermal energy". This reasoning is extremely
significant and it is enough to
confine to serious reflection of such "concepts" to reveal a direction
of "chronologization" of modern physics. Actually, the thermodynamics has
only revealed limitation of "primary" physical knowledge and has
preserved this limitation in these postulates. The fact that the direction
of time is not taken into account in
the classical and quantum mechanics (in spite of stochastic nature
of the equations of last-named) is just the ultimate achievement of physical
knowledge. The time is parameter which character can be changed for the
opposite. If the original coordinates, impulses and initial state of system
are given, and the motion equations
are known, then it is possible in the mechanics to determine any of
its condition both in the future and in the
past quite unequivocally.
The New mechanics, or Chronicle proceed from the following thesis:
time is a reversible process for all
systems. The reversibility of time for all systems - as a basic foundation
of the Chronicle - is the fundamental postulate of the theory ofsystems.
The physicists and after them all scientific community have overlooked
that time is reversible for all systems
and have not noticed that in the very possibility of the terminological
structures, in constants of physical processes they collide simply with
concrete fact of reversibility of time as such. The structure of modern
physics, constructed on the irreversibility of time, functions only
because it tacitly bases on area, rejected
by the researcher, on area in which not only the impossibility gets
possible, but becomes the solely possible condition of appearance of possible
physical processes. Appearance of possible physical processes is their
existence in time, from time, for time. Certainly, as the development of
the Chronicle progresses, the proper physical evidence of reversibility
of time will be shortly produced for all (!) systems, but I assert that
the
basic evidence exist already today. Condition of modern physical knowledge
as such is a stop to
obviousness of reversibility of time to all systems and the obviousness
is clearly shown in all divisions of
modern physical knowledge. It is the terminological constructions of
the divisions of physics and the
presence of "nominal" constants of physical processes that are the
concrete expression of the origin of
physical process as a measure of the reversibility of time in the system.
The modern physics has stopped
before the knowledge of reel reversibility of time reliably fixed by
it. The modern development of physical knowledge is carried out with the
implicit precondition about reversibility of time which only makes possible
scientific discoveries, development of new lines of investigations and
engineering. All real successes of
modern
physics actually prove the basic postulate of the Chronicle
about reversibility of time for all systems. However, physical consciousness
(or self-consciousness) itself, remains in captivity of archaic ideas,
is
unable to conceive decisive interpretation and reflection of its own
practical progress and this is what
hinders the transition to a new level of scientific practice and engineering.
The thermodynamics which is a stronghold of idea of irreversibility
of time should be investigated in
completely other quality - as phenomenology of the modern physics based
on four principles of
irreversibility of time. The criticism of the modern physics aiming
at its progress towards the chronicle presupposes primary criticism of
thermodynamics based on the program of a reflection of modern
physical knowledge.
The program of the reflection of physics does not deny the validity
of divisions and theses of modern
physics - which have sometimes been defined in a sublime manner as
the laws (more often as "nominal l
aws") - it only limits their validity to the frameworks of these divisions,
showing time as real area of the
validity of physics, upon which implicitly, tacitly all the divisions
of physics base. Here we arrive at the most critical moment of our research.
The unbiassed researcher, having agreed with the reasons of the author
about the necessity of reflection of physical knowledge and revealing
its structure, being under the power
of authority of the modern physics will most likely try to put these
reasons down to some interesting ideas
in the field of development of methodology of science, modern conceptions
of natural sciences, but in no
case to basic foundations of the Megascience. I have to emphasize once
again, that the present research is exploring the universal structure of
the validity of the physics, is disclosing its basic foundations in language
and terminology of physics.
The chronicle gives the proper physical answer to the question what
time is, what the time of physics is.
This answer is overlooked in modern physics and the present emptiness
is filled by the pseudo-scientific concepts of space-time and other "terminological
vapour". Physics should identify itself what concept of
time functions in it, what kind of reality of time it has learnt, what
kind of reality of timeit uses being unable
to express it. "The Quantum-mechanical ontology" purged from a hypothesis
of atomism uncovers to us a pre-mathematical essence of time as the essence
of physics.
The "Zero"- principles of the Chronicle uncovers a physical reality
of time. " The time is heat. The heat is
time". The mechanical time is a quantity of heat. The heat is a mechanical
equivalent of time. A true physical essence (operation of time) is a modification
of an internal energy at heat-exchange.
Actual measuring instrument of physical time is the thermometer. To
measure physical time means to
measure temperature, ?.
The first principle of the Chronicle restricts an operation of conservation
of energy to space and describes
the actual time mechanics. The first principle of the Chronicle (law
of chronodynamics) reveals time as "perpetuum mobile of the first sort",
i. e. as a device, universal process, which is capable to make an
unlimited quantity of operations without the expenditure of fuel or
any other materials. Time has at his
disposal an unlimited energy content. Time is the form of existence
of an unlimited energy content, is a
concrete existing infinity of energy. The second principle of the Chronicle
(law of chronostatics) uncovers
time as a "perpetuum mobile of the second sort".
The time as a state is a process the sole outcome of which is the withdrawal
of heat from the reservoir. The
state of time is process the sole outcome of which is the transmutation
of heat into work at a constant temperature. To use the proper physical
image, it is possible to tell that a state of time is a spontaneous
transfer of heat from a cold body to a hot one. The action of Time
Machine is based on the Second
principle of Chronicle. Time Machine is an actual structure of nature,
without which the existence of space
as the scope of conservation of energy would be impossible. The work
of time is transfer of heat from a
colder system to a hotter one in the absence of other simultaneous
modifications in systems or in
circumjacent bodies.
The Third principle of the Chronicle states the possibility of cooling
of substance down to an absolute zero temperature and defines such state
of substance as fundamental state, uncovering temporal nature of sub
stance. Accordingly, the central concept of thermodynamics - entropy
- is also exposed to new
comprehension in the Chronicle. The entropy of the actual "closed"
system, i. e. chronosystem, constantly decreases. The chronosystems evolve
towards order and organization increase, until the run up to the point
of a chronodynamic equilibrium, in which they do not differ from time
as such, in which they are time.
Initially the thermodynamics has introduced in physics the concept
of time as an irreversible process of
entropy increase in the system. But in fact thermodynamics expressed
the meaning of time as reality which
forms structures of physical processes. The final act of the reflection
of modern physical knowledge is the correlation of definition of time and
that of heat, "the inseparability of the Boundless and the Limit" as was
told by Plato. The chronicle allows to consider not the specified physics'
objects taken separately (or taken
in rational - speculative correlation which weakens practical possibility),
but rather the chronosystems
unified in chronological sense and subordinated to the laws of the
chronicle; the chronosystems which exist (presented) by their moments,
attributes and realities in space according to modern physics.
Any system is a chronosystem. All systems of modern physics, biological
systems, astrophysical systems, civilization system are a chronosystem.
All real systems are characterized by the negentropy. The entropy
of the Universe constantly decreases. The chronodynamic equilibrium
corresponds to the minimum of
entropy. Ideas of the chronicle have been implicitly contained in fundamental
theoretical and applied
discoveries of the physics which, in fact, consist in disclosing of
"unconceivable per se" phenomena and principles, embodying in the acceptable
to scientific community form the problematic of the chronicle. This circumstance
has lead a number of outstanding investigators of history and methodology
of science to the
idea of a certain discovery theory, inasmuch as the presence of particular
formal logic in scientific
knowledge generation was obvious. The actual physical knowledge and
engineering achievements have
so far been subjected to reflection only in their self-maintained value
as such, they have not been interpreted
as knowledge of the fundamental decrees of a nature which, undoubtedly,
are "grasped" in this knowledge.
The fundamental laws of modern physics ?onform rather to the rules
of escalating and organization of
physical knowledge and are in a fundamental inconsistency with the
real laws of the Universe. The
Megascience as Chronicle arises at the point of an absolute contradictoriness
of a modern physics, at the
point of complete neglect of the elaboration of physics foundation,
against the background of powerful intellectual development of "divisions"
of physics, against the background of powerful technical possibilities
of the physics. What has needed to create the Chronicle is the comprehension
of modes of the realization
of modern physical thinking, detection of the black-out physical knowledge,
which are in fact (though
implicitly) used by the investigators and pioneers in "manufacture"
of physical knowledge and
discoveries.- That physical knowledge which to ? great extent is explicit
and confirmed for the researchers.
