01.03. Real Certainty

Appearance and Existance
An estoteric bented aestete might enthuse about: ´there is confidence, hope, life, will, substance, motion, power, reason and effect´. A real materialist is terrified about that stuttering and asks: ´what, by which, how, when, why and what for´. A scientist soberly states:´there is materia, energy, movement, power and no effect without cause´.

Scientific correct approach is to check statements above: what´s certain experience of real existance and what´s only mental, abstract ´representative´ expression (term agreed with explicitely defined meaning or only ´empty word´), so to differ between real and only mental ´truth´.

´Ex oriente lux´, truth is coming from eastern enlightenment, even western world likes to ´limit´ at old Greeks. Estonishingly progressive e.g. seems Demokrit, who saw everything based on atoms. Opposite, Aristoteles looks rather old-fashioned with his four elements of earth, fire, water, light plus fifth ´Quint-Essenz´ of his ether. Heraklit´s ´panta rhei´ again sounds up-to-date, like actual flowing, appearing and disappearing. Platon became rather unpleasant by puting us into caves, riddling and discussing about shadows of reality not visible for us. Even more worse unreasonable demand of far-east worldview appears, claiming all estimated reality nothing else than illusion would be.

Finally modern science did stop riddling about real characteristics of different occurrences, e.g. of construction of materia.

Material Parts
One scientist ´relieved´ us from illusion of air being ´esoteric element´, by approval of material air-pressure by his two half-spheres. An other scientist put off candle-light by simple glass, thus discovering nitrogen. Water no longer is concidered ´esoteric elixir of life´ cause discovered as H2O (even this mixture of two gases still is wet).

Unlimited variety of material occurrences lastly was reduced to some 80 ´chemical´ elements (plus some few more, some less durable substances).

This clarity of different substances again was reduced decisively by knowledge, lastly all atoms only are based at different numbers of elementary particles, atom´s real constructional elements. So everything is constructed only by both stable particles of electrons and protons, plus some neutrons. Electrons turn around nucleus at different tracks, also nucleus is steadily at turning movements.

For some short time, world was organized by simple structures, materia (resp. also ´esoteric element earth´) was reduced to few, real existing ´bricks´. Same time, everything is in motion, thus materia in reality is never resting.

Even ´esoteric element of light´ was discovered as photon - even up to now it´s uncertain, whether there are parts moving ahead or only waves are spreading within space (thus it´s still question, all electromagnetic occurrences are real parts or ´only´ waves). Besides lots of detected radiations, now is assumed resp. probably approved also neutrinos are stable particles.

Quarks & Co
´Intact´ world of atom-model was distrubed rather fast by understanding, also elementary particles lastly are not really constructional elements of all substances. At first, some ´quarks´ were detected, afterwards more and more, now more than hundred are known and there is no end. Previous elementary particles now represent only special mixtures of these new basic ´bricks´.

However, practically all of these ´stones´ have extreme short lifespan, are changing from one occurrence to the other in steady metamorphosis (like old Greek told). Lifespan of some particles takes some seconds, most parts however ´exist´ only nanoseconds or much shorter.

So there is question in general, short-running occurrences like these can be concidered as real existing substances at all. Above this, these ´constructional elements´ are defined by properties absolutely insufficient for description of real substances: up, down, strange, charmed, bottom, top (those terms however would fit well for description of movements, especially for steady ´interplays´).

Unsharpness and Probability
Completely destroyed was impression of concrete materia, build of real particles, by detection of Heisenberg´s Unsharpness-Relations. Electrons around atomic nucleus are not to determine exactely, only actual location or only speed of electron is to measure, never both values same time. So there remain only probabilities - instead of certainty.

Matemathically all that stuff is to handle without problems, all values of all atomes and particles are determined exactely, everythings fitting, all ´natual constant values´ are approved by multiple counter- and cross-calculations. Nevertheless, every calculator well knows, ´useful´ constructed set of formulas allows everything to calculate and every given basic factor reversively is confirmed. Possibility of calculations about any subject, by itself, doesn´t approve result´s relation to reality.

So science did search for real existing constructional elements of all materia - lastly didn´t find anything than abstract values of probability-calculations. So it seems rather ´courageous´ to concider these understandings as most possible true picture of reality.

Something in Motion
By criteria mentioned earlier, one must differ strongly between terms describing certainly real occurrences and abstract terms useful only for mental handling or communication. By this point of view are to concider as certain knowledge about real existence only two facts: 1. there is something and 2. there is motion.

These are two of three axioms, I mentioned earlier. First: substance is real perceptible fact. Second: movement is real perceptible fact.

Third axiom is based at fact, nobody can tell why - for heaven´s sake - something sould exist or should be in motion. As homo-sapiens we are not able to assume existent things without cause for its existance, as homo-faber we are not able to assume existent things without its production process. In concern with this, our dilemma in general, we commonly use term of ´God´ as founder and producer of universe. Even some don´t like to use that abstract ´empty word´ (cause we are not able to define more precisely, based at our limited view), this assumption still remains unexplained - an axiom.

One Thing and many Movements
It´s question, how many different kinds of substances are existing. By ´chemical´ view, there are as much substances as chemical elements, its variations and all possible combinations exist. That´s enormous variety of all material occurrences.

Searching for basic original substances, this number was decisively reduced to few different elementary particles, afterwards however extended to probalby numberless different sub-elementary particles.

By earlier mentioned criteria resp. generally agreement is, a theory is the better, the less input values are assumed. So instead of assuming many different substances, best solution would assume only one single thing as basic substance of all occurrences.

Obvious huge variety of occurrences (also below elementary particles) then is to assume as unlimited possible forms of movements of that single substance.

First however, just introduced ´empty word´ of this ´single-one´ is to define more exactely. By statements above, valid is only fact: there is some-thing and some-motion. If now I claim, this some-thing is only one-thing, so this is pure mental abstraction.

However, just knowledges of Quantum-Physics approve this logic conclusion by two occurrences. First, sub-elementary particles change shapes within shortest times. While these most short intervals, no real, destingished ´substances´ can really be build, but well could one real substance change its movement´s characteristics within these short intervals.

Second, there exists unsharpness while watching electrons, based on Heisenberg´s Theory, today however well known by real ´pictures´ of atoms, showing ´cloundy´ shapes. This unsharpness would not exist, if different and seperated substances would really exist. One single real existing substance, differently occuring only by locally different movements, indeed would be hard to ´located´ sharp, however movements would produce only unsharp, wandering reflections, thus result ´blurred fotos´.

So it well is to assume as real certainty, it exists indeed only one single substance, which however must allow most different variation of movements. This Ether-Theory is based at these two axioms (plus above axiom of ´God´). As described later, this basic understanding allows to describe clearly physical phenomena resp. explains occurrences as inevitable consequence of these properties. So assumptions of this Ether-Theory are also approved by results.
