Default Macro-quantum emergence of local space-time physics


"I believe that to solve any problem that has never been solved before,
you have to leave the door to the unknown ajar. You have to admit that
you do not have it exactly right." Richard Feynman


B = (hG/c^3)^1/2d(Phase of Vacuum ODLRO)

is an example of P.W. Anderson's "More is Different" from spontaneously
breaking internal SU(2)hypercharge together with locally gauging T4 -
Diff(4).

This is a NEW IDEA not found in physics before - I mean the merging of
the two ideas above.

Einstein's 1915 GR & Beyond is Macro-Quantum Emergent.

There is no gravity and inertia if

h - 0

c - infinity

even when G =/= 0

Emergent Nature



A major scientific understanding of biophysical and human nature hinges
on emergence, which has been invoked to explain complex phenomena
ranging from biological diversity to human consciousness. Emergent
nature is becoming a unifying vision for a vast array of scientific
disciplines, and sheds new light on traditional metaphysical questions
of order and chaos, parts and wholes. Emergence has also been offered as
a way to situate theology in a scientifically-valid framework.

Emergent nature champions antireductionist explanation. It has been
recognized throughout the ages that nature exists at multiple scales of
complexity; what is the relationship between these levels? The perennial
Great Chain of Being (Lovejoy 1936) posited a vast hierarchy running
from matter to spirit, joining levels of complexity (and, significantly,
science and religion) with higher levels ultimately explaining lower
levels. But many of the sciences have, especially in the last century,
moved in the opposite, reductionist direction, seeking explanation at
smaller and smaller levels of reality.

A good example is physics, which arguably encompasses a broader range of
scales of complexity than any other science. A well-known advocate of
reductionist explanation is Steven Weinberg (Weinberg 2001, 107-122).
Weinberg believes that complex phenomena such as mind and life do emerge
out of simpler systems, yet “The rules they obey are not independent
truths, but follow from scientific principles at a deeper level” (p
115). Reductionist explanation has generally been the hallmark of
physics, but has not gone without criticism. A key early paper was
written by condensed-matter theorist Phil Anderson in 1972, in an essay
aptly titled “More is different” (Anderson 1972). One of Anderson’s main
points is that “The ability to reduce everything to simple fundamental
laws does not imply the ability to start from those laws and reconstruct
the universe” (p. 393). The early work of Anderson and other physicists
has recently led to a burgeoning new cross-disciplinary field of complex
systems analysis (see e.g. Science, 2 April 1999), which is explicitly
devoted to establishing nonreductive modes of explanation of complex
phenomena. ...
