Galileo erred in teaching that finding facts predicted by hypotheses
could prove those hypotheses. Hypotheses, concepts, are the tools the mind
uses to arrange facts and are not subject to proof.
Mass is a concept. It is derived from the erroneous
Newtonian belief that an object will move in a straight line unless a force
acts on it to change its motion.
In the real world, objects do not move in a straight line. Objects come
to rest with respect to the forces that are acting on them.
Because Newton had no explanation for the current movement of the planets
and moons in the solar system, he ascribed that movement to a historical
force.
Modern science is unable to explain the movement of matter in the solar
system on the basis of current forces.
It therefore ascribes that movement to historical forces which, because
they no longer exist, are beyond direct examination.
However, matter in the real world, the world in which an attempt is made
to derive a consistent picture of physical phenomena, moves as a result
of existing forces, or comes to rest with respect to those existing forces.
Historic forces, by definition, no longer exist, and don't move anything.
Modern science has no explanation for obvious phenomena such as planetary
rotation. To hide this ignorance, it provides occult answers for explainable
reality. The force of attraction becomes a property of matter. Motion is
ascribed to unclear historical forces that no longer exist.
To compensate for this ignorance, modern science focuses its attention on
objects that have no existence in reality: Black holes in space, dark matter,
worm holes tunnelling through space and time.
Modern science hides its inability to explain the obvious behind explanations
of the exotic.
Progress is dependent on being able to construct a consistent picture of
physical phenomena. The inability of modern science to explain the obvious
retards progress.
ATOMS, STARS AND MINDS provides the concepts needed to construct a consistent
picture of physical phenomena. It uses the same concepts to construct a
mind that can perceive both physical phenomena and itself.
The conceptual shift is simple. A measurable mechanism is substituted for
non-measurable mass as the source of the attractive force. This mechanism,
which regulates the uniform expansion of electromagnetic emission fields,
reflects the inverse square law applicable to falling objects.
However, virtually every theoretical conclusion about physical phenomena
rests on the assumption that mass exists and somehow produces gravity.
The change in conceptual perception is therefore universal.
It is the second and last great paradigm shift.
