VORTEX THESIS
The most basic and fundamental principles of physical science that are used to explain everything else in the universe are themselves mysteries! Although this shocking fact seems unbelievable, it is absolutely true. The fundamental principles of physical science – that are also used in:
(and everything else we encounter in the entire physical universe) – are “fundamental unknowns”! The first and most important of these “fundamental unknowns” is mass, the concept of mass itself. For those who have forgotten or for those who never knew, mass is the single most important scientific characteristic of matter. It is the one characteristic of matter that is used in all of the formulas of physics and engineering to explain the motions of matter. And yet, mass is a mystery! It is a mystery because although science knows what mass does, it does not know what mass is! If you draw a picture of one of the principle pieces of matter such as a proton, electron, or neutron, no scientist in the world can point to its mass.
Up until the latter half of the 20th Century, it was believed that the mass of matter and the volume of matter were directly related. For example, the more matter that is packed into a constant volume the more massive it is. However, with the discovery of quarks within protons and neutrons, this idea is no longer valid.
Quarks are fantastically small yet possess most of the mass of protons and neutrons. This creates a problem because electrons, whose sizes are absolutely enormous in relation to quarks, possess less mass than quarks, destroying the relationship between mass and volume. Nor does volume explain two other unique characteristics of mass.
Mass attracts mass and mass resists acceleration. The attraction is supposedly explained by the existence of a particle called the graviton, yet nobody has ever seen one. Nor has matter’s resistance to acceleration ever been explained.
Nobody has ever explained the conflict created by the observation that mass attracts mass, creating movement, yet resists movement when a force tries to accelerate it. Why motion is created in one instance yet resisted in the next is not explained or defined even in the definition of mass. Mass is defined as, “an inherent property of matter that is a measure of the amount of matter present in a body”; yet what this inherent property of matter is, or why it exists is [until now] unknown.
Hundreds of years ago, Sir Isaac Newton discovered the famous mathematical relationship that describes the attraction of one mass for another mass. He called it the Law of Gravity. And even though he used the principle of mass to discover this great law of physics, not even this greatest of all scientists could explain what mass was. The Law of Gravity only explains what mass does, it cannot explain what mass is. Another great scientist, Albert Einstein, discovered the relationship between mass and energy and used it in his famous equation. But not even the great Albert Einstein knew what mass was. This use of the concept of mass, despite the failure to understand what it is, is most disturbing. For when we realize just how important to the science of physics the concept of mass really is, the failure to explain what it is, is multiplied every time it is used in another equation to explain something else. And mass is used many times in many equations in every branch of science. In fact, mass is used in almost every equation of major importance in physics, engineering, and astronomy. Mass is used in the formulas that are used to explain force, momentum, inertia, acceleration, energy, work, kinetic energy, power, torque, and many more. In fact, practically every essential equation used to explain the workings of the universe uses mass.
