  • The everyday stuff called matter turns out to be both more fascinating and stranger than we usually assume. In this episode of the Sheldrake-Vernon Dialogues, Rupert Sheldrake and Mark Vernon ask just matter is, beginning with contemporary ideas from quantum physics, in which matter is frozen light, as the physicist David Bohm put it.
    They consider the relationship between matter and gravity, as well as matter and ancient notions of potentiality, which turn out to be surprising relevant today.
    The differences between quantity and quality offer another conversational thread, with the discussion also drawing in wider questions, such as the nature of matter within the philosophy of panpsychism, and also the etymological links between matter and mater, or mother, revealing factors about material of which most are unconscious today.

      the forcing of these fundamental particles ( referring to quarks in the case of protons ) to change direction, as a result, binding them to a general area IS what gives them their mass. The idea of light being " frozen " gives the implication of absolute zero which is why I don't like it.

      In the case of resting your hands on a desk, it's the repulsion of the valence electrons that make up the matter of your skin against the valence electrons of the atoms that make up the desk. And the strength of EM is so great compared to Gravity ( generally 10^36ish times greater ) that you can repel the entire force of the Earth's gravity by lifting up an apple with 2 fingers 🤣

      @geoffgjof 22 дня назад

      @@kyzercube Yeah, it's pretty cool.
      I actually think it's all the same force, it just basically comes down to electron density along an exponential scale. Gravity is the force happening over a more distributed space, so the electron density is way less. Our brains think "earth big means more force" but if it's according to the density of electrons then it means solids repelling at the surface (and even liquids like water) are enough to overcome the more distributed force.
      However, once you get past any barrier that has more electron density then it is easier to move through it. This is why air is so easy to move through, while liquids have more resistance. The more evenly distributed the electrons are throughout the entire structure, the more solid an object is. And the closer the electrons are to each other the easier it is for energy to transfer through (that's how conductors work). Of of this follows the rules of entropy and thermo dynamics. It's just not based on linear thinking. And there are instances of density changes along the surfaces of objects that lead people astray. But I think we'll eventually find that gravity is just electromagnetism due to electron density. And when you have massive objects like planets, or stars, then the relative magnestism of any other smaller object is kind of irrelevant. I think once we finally measure earth's gravitational pull more precisely we'll see that it's not quite constant for every object. But the insanely miniscule amount of difference will essentially still be negligible and that's why our equations with the constant work.

      Light is Heavy
      M.B. van der Mark, G.W. 't Hooft
      Einstein's relativity theory appears to be very accurate, but at times equally puzzling. On the one hand, electromagnetic radiation must have zero rest mass in order to propagate at the speed of light, but on the other hand, since it definitely carries momentum and energy, it has non-zero inertial mass. Hence, by the principle of equivalence, it must have non-zero gravitational mass, and so, light must be heavy. In this paper, no new results will be derived, but a possibly surprising perspective on the above paradox is given.

    Adorable theory, but matter isn't frozen light, it's the electron moving so fast within that particular matter that it creates the illusion of a physical object...
    Hold a vibrator in your hand, and you notice as the vibrator is on, it becomes bigger and harder to hold on to as it vibrates.
    There is only one electron in the entire universe creating the illusion of all electrons, protons, neutrons, and all matter.
    It's called the single electron universe theory. ~ John Wheeler and Richard Feynman.
    If that example doesn't help, turn a fan on and put your hand inside and see if the fan hits you even if it's in constant motion, and looks invisible.
    The same principal applies to the electron which creates the illusion of matter. It's just that the matter is moving so fast, not frozen... this is the opposite of frozen, which is when molecules are more like still(although still moving slightly). Everything is in constant motion until (theoretically) it reaches absolute zero, which is when (theoretically) the black hole or anti-matter might be formed. Ask yourself this; is the fan really a ghost, or does it just seem that way because it's moving so fast?

    @nigelwilliams7920 18 дней назад

    Great interview - thanks.
    Rupert, firstly thank you for your pragmatic presentation, it is great to hear you touching on deeper issues beyond just the 'mechanics' of matter and mass.
    If I may paraphrase; around 3:50 in this video you intimated... "Mass of matter has two aspects: Inertial mass that binds it to a state of motion and a place, The Broglie equation tells us that the frequency of a masses vibration is proportional to the mass involved, the faster it vibrates i.e. the more mass it has then the more it is tied to its place. And the gravitational effect relating to mass where all matter is interconnected throughout the universe, so a particle of matter has to know where it is and how much of it there is so that it can react to the other masses appropriately.
    Its much much more mysterious than just little billiard balls trundling around"
    "...it has to know where it is..." Indeed. That is a fundamental issue with our current view of the 'subatomic' world. Researchers tell us that various particles behave in certain defined ways; electrons repel each other, but are attracted to protons etc etc. My base-line query is: how does an electron 'know' that it has to act that way? As an occasional builder of small robots, I can quickly appreciate the systems needed by the electron and all other particles. These include:
    a) a sense of 'self' and knowledge of the properties of itself. (I'm an electron and I have a negative charge and a mass of so many ev, a spin to the left and I fear I may have left a heater on in my bedroom!).
    b) a navigation system which tells it where it is, and its current position and velocity in relation to the universe.
    c) a sensor suite which is able to detect the position, velocity and identity of every other particle in the total actual universe - not just our 'observable universe' (all quite straightforward stuff, provided one has enough RAM). Indeed, since the influences on our electron can legitimately extend beyond any arbitrary boundaries of 'our' universe, the sensors need to detect 'everything there is', just 'everything', not just 'our universe'.
    d) a look up table which defines the properties of those particles near and far and provides instructions on how our electron must respond to the influences of those particles (another electron close by: move away at a certain acceleration and direction. A massive galaxy 50 megaparsecs away - say the local Great Attractor - then swing on by, etc).
    e) a calculating engine which can combine all the influences of every particle in the actual universe upon our electron to provide a singular direction and speed instruction, and to provide control outputs at a rate that is appropriate to the electrons' situation. A sub-Plank-Time control loop frequency would seem to be necessary to sustain an orbit around a nucleus with reasonable fidelity, and to avoid unfortunate collisions with other nearby particles.
    f) a means of propulsion which enables the electron to move in the required directions and velocities.
    g) an energy source to sustain the 'self'; to power the sensor suite and motion system; and to run the on-board compute required to operate the entire electron unit, in perpetuity, of course.
    I am perturbed when I hear researchers say that a particular particle or even a tangible mass like Newton's apple behaves in a certain way; my reflex question is always: how does it know that it should do that, and how does it do it? An electron-robot is a very complex and wonderful thing, with almost every necessary attribute as yet undiscovered.
    Thanks again. We would appreciate you comments!!

    Im no scientist but i can figure this about quantity; the more tightly we define the movement and action of something, the less potential that expression carries.
    Quantity seems an ingredient of thought, a weight our mind puts on the detail.
    What quantity is being quantified, if not uncertainty?
    Quality is a different thing altogether, we can discover and learn the nature of influences and significances playing important roles in our day to day.
    Matter is an idea that made motion easier to interpret. Materialism is now the obstacle of progress. We are energy reflecting on light and darkness.
    What any scientists miss peering into stuff, and how the intelligent world is misled is seeing information come from things. Information is created in connections, where observation meets features of consideration.

    I am no physicist so forgive my intellectual wantedness for the simplicity of this question. What is light made of? I have heard it sometimes behaves as a particle and sometimes a wave. I do not fully understand what a wave means in this context (for example: what exactly is making the motion of a wave when applied to the behavioral attributes of light). I have also wondered if we have ever viewed a photon, every video and photo I see is CGI so I have always been curious to know if we have an actual view of the structure of this quantum realm and the properties that make it up.

    I recall the idea of “crystallization” in understanding the images served on a “high definition” television screen for mass consumption.
    So this idea of “froze light” has connotations of hard or immobile: inanimate; yet it has somehow captured something of the animate spirit: light.
    I am reminded of Barfield’s essay The Harp & The Camera where he suggests the evolution from the premodern to modern modes of perception by metaphor.
    I am also reminded of George MacDonalds essays on the imagination in which he talks about the light within all incarnate nature & the Father of Lights.

    We have names for sub atomic particles and a complex set of particles and anti particles but this 'field' in which particles spin and waves oscillate is spoken of as a matter of fact, so it must be where matter is but not necessarily where it is not. We are told that random fluctuations can be detected in a vacuum demonstrating that quanta can spontaneous appear and disappear in a void and of course photons can pass through it.

This means E=mC^2 is but one form of how energy becomes mass. Mass is also related to information. Information itself has mass...thats mind blowing if true and wonder if its part of Dark matter.

    IMPORTANT ADDITION: In an non-naive idealistic worldview, matter is a relational expression between the (personal) observer and a transpersonal mentation (Φ in IIT). It's interaction resists and collapses into relata or matter. Matter is meaningful and subjective for each observer. It's seemingly objective qualities (it's quantities) are a consequence of the similarities between the observers... That's why most humans share a consensus meta reality. Matter is not objective out there it is experienced as objective because we are similar agents and have a similar relation to Φ.

    "A proton is light frozen in a proton field, an electron is light frozen in an electron field", you say." Matter is light frozen in a Higgs field". Hence if I understand it correctly, x is light frozen in an x-field, with x being a neutrino, an electron, a quark, a photon, an atom, a molecule, a crystal, ,an apple, a book, a mountain, a planet, a galaxy, a universe, anything and everything. The strength of this dazzling explanation is its circularity, tautology making it infallible, congratulations. Are then these almost infinitely many different fields components of an overarching "Higgs field" of anything and everything? I wonder what the Greek philosophers would say. .Precious is however the insight that matter is frozen light in many different ways .

  • @scottguitar8168

    It is interesting that energy can take many forms. Since everything vibrates, you would have to consider the whole range of vibrations as light in order to phrase matter as frozen light, since the frozen part implies a slow down in movement. We would have to consider sound also as a form of slowed down light. While we could connect light to a God, there is also a recognition that energy cannot be created, nor destroyed. This would imply that energy cannot have a Creator and might even explain how a Creator could exist in the first place should one actually exist. The problem we have from our human perspective is that we could look at this eternally existing energy as nature itself, where we can identify when the natural property of intelligence evolved on this planet vs. the lack of this intelligence in certain places. This leaves room to consider natural formations without the property of intelligence vs. creations that require the natural property of intelligence. There is no really good way to support it is all created and thus requires an Intelligence. Perhaps one day will will make that firm connection, but today I don't think we have it.

    When EM fields or light comes to a rest or is measured it converts into an elementary particle. When the EM field of two distant sources collide in the vacuum of space they convert into a pair of charged particles, one positive and the other negative. This was proposed in the Pair Production theory back in the 60's. Energy can't be destroyed, so when it comes to a rest instead of winking out of existence it converts into elementary particles, m=E/c².
    In particle accelerators physicists discovered 1.22 MeV of kinetic energy is produced when a pair of protons collide. Then the opposite is true. When the EM field's energy equivalence of 1.22 MeV comes to a rest in the vacuum of space it would produce a pair of hot, charged particles.
    I suspect that elementary particles are indeed bundles of light.

    4:30 afaik gravity spreads out (deforms spacetime) like a ripple effect going the speed of light.
    So the mass can be at a different place and the other mass still gets the effect of the mass at the old position. An example is that if the sun would disappear suddenly, earth would still Orbit it for the 8 minutes it takes the effect of gravity to travel. Only then the earth would travel in a streight line.

It could also explain why we cant detect dark matter yet can detect its mass and gravitational effects. When i saw 'frozen light' i thought straight away of the Bose Einstein Condensate in which we can literally stop, slow or freeze light in its tracks withough losing information.

This even suggests that the tree of life and the tree of knowledge are in actuality the same tree (Mauro Biglino’s claim that the tree of knowledge was added later to the story). It may suggest why human living qualities are attributed to planets?

      The materialist empiricist paradigm has failed. You cannot get mind from non mind. So science denies that mind exists. But that’s obviously false because the one thing we know for sure is that we think, therefore we have minds. Surely the non physical nature of photons points to the mental nature of photons. But none of this examination is possible under the materialist paradigm. Instead, a backwards denial of the mind is undertaken and all instances of zero and infinity being solutions to quantum mechanical equations are airbrushed out of academia. Because zero and infinity are the numbers of the mind but we are forced to pretend that mind doesn’t exist.

    I understand that conservation of energy is associated with the time-reversibility of the basic laws of physics, which seems essentially to express 'nothing happens' (c.f. Peter Atkins of Oxford). But it bothers me that energy seems to be a continuous quantity, and I don't see how a continuous quantity can be conserved in general. This gets even more awkward when one considers the tiny increments of, or transfers between potential and kinetic, energy conferred to a material object in a gravitational field. A related question is how fields can be continuous - as I understand it both material fields and wave functions are represented as f(x,t). Another question, albeit rhetorical, is why excitations in a field, e.g. electrons in the electron field, do not disperse and remain discrete.

    I was somehow able to come to this conclusion using only thought experiments. The universe is an entirely different Universe for every direction in which photons travel. If you catch up to a bunch of photons, and travel at the same speed as those photons, those photons will become matter, and the matter you knew before you caught up with those photons will become light.
    And now you are in a place with a whole bunch of new directions in which photons can travel. You may never find your way back to where you originated from unless you find that one direction among countless directions you used to get there. You'll have to calculate that return direction to the precision of photon.
    There are countless universes that occupy the same space that our University occupies simultaneously yet and completely separate and different temporal directions. Follow any single photon and it will lead you to an entirely different universe.
    Our entire universe exists for the light of a single star in another Universe. A star whose light translates to matter in our Universe. Our entire universe is a product of the photons in another universe or possibly even many other universes.
    No I have to figure out what happens to the photons who cross our universe in a direction at which they seem to travel just slower than the speed of light. I wonder where those are.
