“Embryonic Big Bang”

Of course the unconscious processes of assimilation, ordering of structure and function, and then conscious recognition of knowledge are now in question. As many have cogitated on the notion of infinite order and universal harmony, we wonder about the ultimate source of unification for all the symbols, metaphors, and systems that manifest the duality of natural antithesis: the infinite and finite, the good and bad, the beautiful and ugly, the unseen and seen, the palpable and impalpable. In this modern age we are given new symbols, syntax, nomenclature and metaphors; and we have been taught that there is only mass, distance and time, distance and time being aspects of the same reality, while these fundamental notions are relative to a subjective frame of reference. Yet, waves of probability, matter waves and corpuscles, along with the fundamental features of mass, distance and time are real, objective and generalizable with the new metaphors. Man has proven empirically that he can predict with great accuracy how things happen. Still, we do not know why things happen. Today, the limits of our knowledge are defined by only two fundamental systems of thought, General Relativity concerning outer limits including gravity and space, and QuantumTheory in referring to the inner limits concerned with electromagnetism and matter. The unification of these two systems is thought to provide the ultimate source of knowledge. Most interesting is how Relativity reduces gravity to a geometric property of space-time, while Quantum Theory has shaped our concepts of atomic structure and interactions of a world so small that it cannot be perceived directly; because any attempt to perceive the world of the exceedingly small must vitiate that which we are attempting to see.

We have come to our ultimate question regarding the objective generalism for the metaphysical analytic. Man has experienced transcendent feelings of that which is beyond direct sensory purview for millennia, through inductive, collectivizations of phenomenological impressions. How then can we know the metaphysical to be real? Logical Positivists like Otto Newrath point to an extension of coherence, that is, ideas are true only when they are logical, integrated, consistent and interrelated. But, the problem remains as to how one chooses between two internally consistent systems, like General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics; therefore, shifting the problem to scientific consensus.

Such considerations led to the remark, “On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays one employs the Quantum Theory, and on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays one employs the wave theory” (Nigel Calder, 1979) In the 1954 revised version, “Relativistic theory of the Non- Symmetric Field, “added to the posthumous edition: “ The Meaning of Relativity” (1956), Einstein added his last scientific opinion. He said, “One can give good reasons why reality cannot at all be represented by a continuous field. From the quantum phenomena it appears to follow with certainty that a finite system of finite energy can be completely described by a finite set of numbers (quantum numbers). This does not seem to be in accordance with a continuum
