Abstract

This paper relooks into the fundamental aspects of universe which scientists in general and

physicists in particular have been pondering over from time immemorial. New insights on

space, light, energy, matter and time have been presented which will be of interesting to

science students, teachers and researchers alike. The paper concludes that space is the

substratum for the existence of entire universe and all movements in universe are nothing but

modulations of energy and matter in presence of space. These concepts offer solutions to the

controversies regarding speed of light, characteristics of light and time. In quantum theory,

the passage of time is the same throughout the universe whereas General relativity, says that

time can be affected by gravitational fields. This paper affirms non-existence of time and

establishes that time is a concept introduced to quantify the movement of energy and matter

with respect to non-moving space.

Introduction

I present the concepts of reality came out as intuition out of my genuine inquiry and

contemplation. For mankind, Science had begun from time immemorial and progressed

through observations, experiments, analysis, arguments, theories and even conclusions. Lot

of theories related to space, light, energy, matter and time have been emerged in the past as a

result of genuine inquisitiveness by sincere scientists. Most of the scientific laws and

theories discovered in the recent past were formulated, looking into the aspects of energy

and matter deeply and then there were further attempts to define space, light and time. It can

give only a limited understanding. This paper makes a humble effort to look into the truth of
 December 2013

Universe in a different perspective. Presented below are few interesting concepts for

researchers and scientists to ponder upon.

Concepts on Space

1. Space is infinite and unmoved. Space is the basis for both energy and matter. Space

holds entire energy & matter and allows them to expand or contract.

2. Space is dimension-less or we can say space has infinite dimensions. It is impossible

to locate a point, line, area or volume in space. The 1D, 2D and 3D concepts have

come out of a very limited understanding of space in an attempt to locate/define (a

point on/in) a line, area or volume respectively. That very point, line, area or volume

keeps on moving along with the 'assumed' origin of three axes. But the space remains

unmoved. Even if we assume a point in space, that point is unmoved forever and is

the centre of the universe. As space is infinite, any point in space can be considered

as centre of the entire universe. But interestingly, space cannot be fragmented into

point, line, area or volume because space exists as a whole.

Concepts on Light

3. Light is an inherent characteristic of space. Light has no specific source.

4. It is rearrangement of energy and matter in different levels or concentration or

proportions which creates a field around, thus allowing the light (which was already

present) to reveal its presence to human eyes. Such a field is created when two rocks

are brought together with certain force or when clouds strike each other thus allowing

the light of space to emerge, being visible to us.

5. It is a misconception that light travels. Light does not travel and hence cannot have

velocity (Light cannot be displaced, as it is omnipresent as a single entity). When we

see in context of energy & matter, it appears that light moves.

6. Light is already present everywhere all the time. It is the matter which creates

obstacles to its visibility to us. With the movement of energy & matter, it appears to
 December 2013

us that light travels. It is relative. Look into a glowing bulb or a lamp and move your

eyebrows gently, it will appear that light source being converted to light beams and

also in various directions depending on the movement of eye brows. It is just an

appearance. In reality, light neither takes the form of beams nor travels. Eye brow

movement is movement of energy & matter and hence the above stated concept is

verified. At the same time, same light will appear to travel in different forms to

different people if their eye brow movements are not unique. Just because we are not

able to perceive the light during night, can we say light does not exist at night? If

what we heard about night vision of owl is true, how owl sees at night? May be

because owl is able to perceive light even at low level energy field. If we enter a

closed room, even though it appears to be dark, after sometime, we will be able to see

with little more clarity. That itself reveals the fact that our eyes are relative (to the

field we exposed in the past) and hence limited. All optical illusions are because of

this relativity of the physical eyes. After all, eyes are also nothing but energy &

matter. It is difficult to perceive the light with our physical eyes without the support

of an 'appropriate (balanced, not too low not too high)' energy field.

7. Light is pure and hence has no colour. The light we usually see is polluted with

matter in different proportions. That is the reason light appears to be coloured. When

light is polluted by large proportion of matter, the visibility itself vanishes. Pure light

cannot be seen with physical eyes. We can see light only when it is mixed with

energy & matter. It is the pure light which makes objects visible to us.

8. Energy and matter might be in a certain concentration in Sun which creates a large

field around thus making the already ever present light visible to us in a large volume

around. Hence we attribute the light to Sun and call it sunlight. Heat (a form of

energy) can be an attribute of Sun (Energy), but light cannot be attributed to Sun,
 December 2013

light belongs to Space only. The presence of Sun (Energy) just makes it possible for

the light to be revealed.

9. See the bursting of crackers. You see light sparks moving in all directions and slowly

diminishing in space. What is happening actually? Energy & matter just going away

from the source, which itself was concentrated energy & matter. Once the energy is

dissipated from the energy & matter fragments, the field (required for light to appear)

gets vanished gradually and light is no more visible and the (dark) matter remains in

space. Similar analogy can be applied to define all matters (big and small) in the

universe. Even though all appears to be separate, in essence the whole energy &

matter is continuous (uninterrupted) and hence one and the same, but exist in

fragmented forms in different proportions, ever-moving, with or without the fields to

create visibility of light or with gradually vanishing (or increasing) field.

10. Light cannot be bent. Light neither reflects nor refracts. We perceive so just based on

the rearrangement of energy and particles (matter) in different mediums (what we

call as medium itself is energy & matter except vacuum). We are not able to grasp

the purity of light in presence of energy/matter and hence we wrongly perceive light

as distorted. This untainted attribute and non-movement of light can be clearly

perceived in vacuum (in the absence of energy/matter).

11. The time which is considered as fourth dimension does not even exist. Time is just a

concept created by man in an attempt to define the movement of energy and matter

with respect to unmoving space. From the movement of energy & matter, we try to

separate out the displacement (in essence, displacement is not real, it is relative), and

hence comes the concept of force.

12. Why time does not exist? How time is just a concept? Energy and mass co-exist.

When mass moves (with the presence of energy), based on the displacement, a new

terminology 'Force' was introduced, which is in essence an aspect of energy itself.

 December 2013

Now, if we see Force and Mass, again new term acceleration. Acceleration is defined

as the rate of change of velocity. Velocity is defined as rate of change of

displacement. What is it in reality? We try to define the movement (displacement) of

mass (which occurs due to force that which is an aspect of energy) with respect to the

unmoving space. Time is just a notion we introduced to define the movement of mass

with respect to unmoving space.

13. Time does not exist. There is an infinite unmoving space and energy & matter which

keep on moving. Time is only a concept which helps to quantify this movement. We

quantify rotation of earth with respect to its axis (?) as a day. Complete rotation of

earth around Sun as a year. Time has no real existence. It is just that these

movements keep on happening and we try to quantify them. In a lighter note, even

the movement of clock needle is just a movement of needle (matter) from one place

to another (a movement of matter associated with electrical energy). But we make out

a sense of time based on that!

14. At a given point of time, everything is stationary. Right now, there is no movement

in the universe. Take the next moment, and then also everything is stationary. To be

noted that there is no gap, the concept of moment itself is wrong. We need some

fixed point to define movement of energy & matter. So, the concept of moment was

introduced. At any given point of time, everything is stationary. Then, logically

everything should be stationary at all points of time. It leads to a conclusion that

everything should be stationary always. Then, when is the movement happening?

Either only time is moving or energy & matter is moving. We are very well aware

that energy & matter is not stationary. Then, time must be stationary. You can

visualize things (energy & matter) moving. But how will you visualize time? It is just

like number. You cannot visualize a number without the support of energy & matter.

Same with time as well. You cannot visualize any movement in the universe without
 December 2013

a stationary platform (it can be relative). Time is just a concept introduced to define

the movement of energy & matter with respect to non-moving space. When I say

'hundred', what is that comes in your mind? You cannot visualize any number

without the support of energy or matter. Same with time. Time does not exist. When

we say yesterday, where is it? It is only in mind. Time is only a concept in mind. It

has only a conceptual or psychological value, neither any existential value nor any

physical value.

Concepts on Energy and Matter

15. Space and light cannot be curved. Space and light are independent of Energy and

matter. It is the space which is the basis for both energy and matter. (The relative

movement of energy & matter with respect to unmoving space is perceived based on

a factor 'time'. In reality, time does not exist. Space and Light neither travels nor

bends. It is matter or/and energy which travels and bends.)

16. The travel of energy through matter causes movement and re-arrangement of

particles in the matter (the matter which is whole that includes all states of matter)

and this was misinterpreted as travel of waves. It is just dissipation of energy (where

to dissipate? hence more appropriate to say movement of energy which causes re-

arrangement of particles and sometimes energy as well).

17. Energy and matter are non-dual, interchangeable and holds each other. Energy and

matter are one in essence, but they can co-exist and exist as separate as well. Matter

may be thrown out with the flow of energy. But space holds them in place. That is

why all stars, planets, satellites and other energy & matter (s) in space move (rotate?)

in a harmonious way. Otherwise, everything would have been out of order.

18. Waves/Vibrations are aspects of Energy/Matter. But light cannot be so. Wave is just

movement (or dissipation) of energy through energy/particle medium causing their

rearrangement. (Radiation is also movement of energy). As energy and matter are

 December 2013

non-different, so is wave and vibration. We may define them in different terms based

on their respective concentration. Light is neither wave nor particle. Light is beyond

energy and matter. Light cannot be visible to physical eyes. It is light which makes

energy & matter visible.

PS: To be noted that 'light' in all above statements is the light of which Einstein

identified the velocity as constant (just because Einstein tried to study non-moving light

from an moving energy & matter platform), not the one which we usually perceive as

radiation from various energy sources.

Conclusions

In summary, there is only ONE entity as a whole, Space, Energy and Matter. We may

separate out energy & matter from space based on their movement, using the concept of

time. But light cannot be separated as light is inherent characteristic of space and light does

not move.
