EXCERPT:

How do we explain physical reality? Where do we start, and with what do we begin, in order to take even the first step toward an explanation? In explaining physical reality, do we really have anything else, except it, with which to initiate that explanation? Is there ever anything else, except physical reality? We might think there is more, perhaps by believing that our thoughts, memories, feelings, or dreams exist, somehow independently from physical reality. In so believing, we ignore that we cannot even ‘imagine’ anything independent of physical reality (though we might, quite mistakenly, believe otherwise), any more than we can think, feel, or dream independently of it, because physical reality includes even the motions of our very thoughts, memories, feelings, and dreams, themselves, which are ALL also, just as physical – every bit as much – as anything in the universe.

“To even consider, legitimately, that our thoughts, memories, feelings, or dreams are somehow nonphysical, one must first identify precisely what it means for them, or for anything, to be so, and how, being nonphysical in character, they nonetheless express themselves in the most overtly physical ways – like speaking, that, so clearly being motion, makes all of our thoughts, memories, feelings, and dreams no less physical than any overt human action is; no less than ANY other kind of physical motion whatsoever in the universe is. Stating matters clearly, anything that we might imagine being nonphysical affecting reality simply does not exist.

So, because physical reality is all that we really have (since, as stated, anything else cannot ever be expressed, described, or manifest in any other way except a physical one), we must choose physical reality’s observation as the first step toward its explanation. If we do not choose observation as a first step, then we must choose either not to explain physical reality, or choose something 'else', though there seems to be nothing else that we can use that isn't its observation, by which to do so. If we choose the latter, that is, choose something ‘else’, besides observation for explaining, we choose something that cannot, of course, ever be observed at all, not even indirectly (though we’re free to ‘believe’ otherwise).

In choosing observation, we choose something that we cannot really even imagine outside of the physical terms of the observations (or any permutations thereof: allegory) that are an outcome of our life experience or rearrangements and distortions of such experiences (as innate interpretive responses to these observations). By choosing observation, as the first step toward explaining physical reality, we implicitly assume that physical reality is 'made' of what we observe, even if what we observe consists (as stated) only of what we think, or remember, or feel emotionally, or dream. We further assume that physical reality, besides being made of all these things we observe ‘within’ ourselves, is made also of all those things that we observe outside of ourselves, through our sensory awareness.

“Thus, we begin, by assuming that physical reality is made of all things observed, be they observed internally or externally, directly (like seeing the print on the page that you are now reading) or indirectly (like seeing the reflection of ourselves [or anything], looking into a mirror). In this way, we can use physical reality as a first step, so that it can explain itself, through our embracing its observation, in the most rigorous way that we can. We will use physical reality, along with that part of it that is our imagination, as precisely as our current understanding allows, for describing our very observations themselves and the relationships existing between these observations (in a predictable and reproducible manner), which is what any meaningful explanation of physical reality must do, for it to explain anything that is genuinely, materially real (i.e. physically existing outside of our imagination).

The First Step Toward Understanding Relativity and Quantum Mechanics Conceptually

THE ARMCHAIR PRIMER

OF THEORETICAL PHYICS

Two Easy Experiments that

You Can Conduct in the Privacy of Your Own Mind

by Chongo in collaboration with José

Acquire a deep understanding nature’s true ways with the first book in a series of books that ultimately leads to explaining the most fundamental and accurate description of everything that has ever existed, namely, physical theory’s description, which indeed does describe everything there is, was, will, or could ever be, as no other explanations have even come close to doing (that is, explain in a way that is demonstrable, reproducible, and precisely predictable).

Take the first step toward understanding what is, fundamentally, a very simple set of ideas but that is the most accurate description of nature that has ever existed, or, for that matter, has ever been conceived by anyone. Explore and grasp the principles that the deepest explorations of the natural world have revealed. See how easy it is to begin understanding nature’s mysteries through the rigors of science’s most tested explanations. By means of conducting two simple and very tangible mind experiments by yourself and with no physical apparatus at all you will see within the confines of your own mind: in the first experiment, how the inseparability (the relativity) of space and time distorts both (space and time) as a consequence of motion (and ultimately, as a consequence of gravity), and then in a second experiment, as Einstein himself did, just what it would be like to ride on a beam of light. In this way, in the privacy of your own mind you can see what Einstein saw, with the same ease with which he saw it, and just as Mister Einstein did, without having to step out of your imagination for even a moment. No prerequisite education whatsoever is required and, the ideas so simple, that, just like Mister Einstein, one need not know hardly any math at all (in actual fact none). The book contains not a single mathematical symbol.

EXCERPT:

The speed of light is always the same, regardless of motion. Because of this, anything moving, can consider itself being at rest instead, and measure distances and directions (angles) accordingly. You might think that you were very much at rest, lying on a warm sunny beach somewhere in the tropics, near the equator. But, you would be rotating around the axis of the earth, at speeds in excess of a thousand miles an hour. And that's only a very small part of your motion. You would also be racing around the sun, at a speed in the neighborhood of seventy thousand miles an hour. Add to this the speed of the solar system as it orbits within the galaxy at an even greater speed. Add to this the motion of the galaxy, blazing through space even faster. All the while, throughout all this motion, you would be lying comfortably on the soft sand, in the warm rays of the tropical sun, unable to notice that you or anyone else or anything else at all around you were moving, save for the waves, the leaves of the coconut palms swaying as they are blown by the mild ocean breeze, and perhaps the dark, tanned, healthy bodies, strolling gracefully along the lazy shore break, nearby.

All this motion would seem to be happening at normal speed, which would seem to imply that time was passing no more slowly than it should either, despite all of this combined motion of earth, solar system, and galaxy. The speed of light would be the same in all directions too, completely unaffected by all the motion that you might be wholly unaware of. You, as well as everything and everyone around you, would seem quite ‘at rest’, meaning that just as the speed of light is identical in EVERY direction for you, lying at rest on the warm tropical beach, so must it be identical in every direction for the strobe too, which can, likewise, presume itself to be perfectly at rest also, like us in the space station, “floating” (weightlessly), perfectly “at rest,” in empty space.
