Seeing Darwin in the light of Einstein;
Seeing Einstein in the light of Darwin.

/ Page 115 /
Seeing Einstein in the light of Darwin suggests that
natural selection could act not only on living things
but on the properties defining the various species
of elementary particles.
/ Page 117 /
We physicists have now to understand Darwin’s lesson:
The only way to understand how one out of a vast number
of choices was made, which favors improbable structure,
is that is the result of evolution by natural selection.
/ Page 117 /
Now the only possible way of accounting for the laws of nature,
and for uniformity in general, is to suppose them results of evolution.
/ Page 118 /
And I believe that once this is achieved, Einstein and Darwin
will be understood as partners in the greatest revolution
yet in science, . . .

On which biological level is possible to use phrase:
Darwinian natural selection, Darwin’s evolution ?

According to Harold Morowitz a structure of single cell
has 10^12 bit of information
But cells are not in the one and same state, they are different
then another cell has another 10^12 bit of information . . .
==.
The estimate for human cells in the human body is about 10^14.
The number of cells in the body is constantly changing,
as cells die or are destroyed and new ones are formed.
It means that bits information also constantly changing.
Can this unity between information and cells be chaotic ?
No, we are called this process:‘self organizing‘.
==.
About ‘self organizing ‘.
It is amazing to me, that some can use the term "self organizing"
without shame, to describe mindless objects, in arguments that
claim that the universe lacks both mind and self.
There just appears to be these massive blank spots
in the thinking of those who wish to see this universe
as containing nothing but mindless objects, denying the existence
of self, while at the same time describing evolution as self.
It is an inversion of reality, they describe and not reality.
They would contend that the stone blocks of the pyramid,
self organized themselves into a complexity that exceeded
the complexity of the blocks themselves.
I am sorry, reality really does not work upside down
and backwards, even imagining it does, requires self-deception.

Belief . . . from history of physics.
=.
Many years Max Planck was attracted with the
absolutely black body problem.
If quantum of light moving with speed c=1 falls in the area of
absolutely black body and does not radiate back, then “ terminal
dead “ will come. In order to save the quantum of light from ‘death ‘
Planck decided that it is possible that quantum of light
will radiate back with quantum unit (h ), (h=Et )
This unit does not come on formulas or equations.
Planck introduced this unit from heaven, from ceiling.
Sorry. Sorry.
Scientists say: Planck introduced this unit intuitively.
They say: Planck introduced unit (h) phenomenologically
===..
Phenomenology.
1.
the movement founded by Husserl that concentrates on the
detailed description of conscious experience, without recourse
to explanation, metaphysical assumptions, and traditional
philosophical questions
http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/phenomenologically
===…
So. Planck discovered the quantum of energy / action
‘without recourse to explanation, metaphysical assumptions,
and traditional philosophical questions’.
Many years Planck tried to find rational explanation for his unit
but without success.
We can read that unit (h) is an ’inner’ impulse (spin) of particle.
But what ’inner impulse’ means? We have no answer.
==.
There are 1000 books and millions articles about
‘philosophy of science’ but how can I believe them
if they didn’t explain me ‘what quantum particle is’.
Our today’s belief in science is similar to the past belief
in religion: ‘ I believe because it is absurd.’
/ Tertullian. (ca.160 – ca.220 AD) /
( in science – big bang,
in religion - God create woman from Adam’s rib.)

Belief . . . and string theory.
==.
But your question really is "what does a physical particle look like?"
My answer is that they look like strings. But I have to admit that
strings are still concepts in the regime of metaphysics..
. . .
So string theory IS my religion.
/ Richard Ruquist /
=====.
I cannot believe in string theory as a religion.
Why?
Because:
1
Book ‘ The trouble with Physics’ / by Lee Smolin /
Part 8. The first superstring revolution.
Page 126 – 127.
‘. . . the growing catalog of string theories meant that
we weren’t actually studying a fundamental theory.’ . . .
‘ . . . but the many versions of string theory opened up
the possibility that it was true of essentially all the
properties of the elementary particles and forces. This would
mean that properties of the elementary particles were
environmental and could change in time. If so, it would mean
that physics would be more like biology, in that the
properties of the elementary particles would depend on the
history of our universe. ‘
#
‘ . . . at least one big idea is missing.
How do we find that missing idea?’

objects, having only lengths but no thickness, . . . . . ‘

How did the idea of many dimensions arise?
==..
It began in 1907 when Minkowski tried to understand
SRT and invented 4-D negative spacetime continuum
Nobody knows what Minkowski 4-D really is.
#.
Poor young Einstein, reading Minkowski interpretation,
said that now he couldn’t understand his own theory.
Th. Kaluza agreed with Einstein and in 1921 tried
to explain SRT using 5D space.
This theory was tested and found insufficient.
"Well", said physicists and mathematicians,
" maybe 6D, 7D, 8D, 9D, 11D or 27D spaces will explain it".
And they had done it.
But………. But there is one problem.
To create new D space, they must add a new parameter.
Because it is impossible to create new D space without
a new force, a new parameter.
And they take this parameter arbitrarily
( it fixed according to they opinion, not by objective rules).
The physicist R. Lipin explained this situation in such way:
"Give me three parameters and I can fit an elephant.
