Introduction to a New Vison of the World

Science often finds it difficult to renew itself conceptually as there is a kind of inertia in abandoning old proven paths to new roads still unknown. New ideas are sometimes not well received not because they are sterile or useless, but because they are alien to the current of dominant thought of the time. In the history of physics few have been the ideas that have introduced novelty in scientific thought. Discoveries of the past such as those due to Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Einstein and others, although they have contributed decisively to scientific and philosophical progress, have not always turned out to be absolute truths, but rather exceptional contributions to the understanding of the world, of the pieces of a puzzle that we are still far from having completed. This Blog tells the story of a discovery that involved and passionate me and other colleagues who shared with me years of work and passion towards an idea that despite not having introduced new truths and not belonging ...

Interactions are not properties, but events

When the bridge comes into operation, a deep consequence emerges, often underestimated: interactions cease to be attributes of particles.    In usual language it is said that a particle   has a charge, has a certain interaction with the outside world, undergoes a force, but if the exchange is mediated by a "bridge", this way of speaking becomes misleading. No interaction exists alone An interaction does not exist as an isolated intrinsic property of a particle. For there to be an interaction it is necessary that there is a system of two particles that exchange something that we call mediator. The "bridge" is the connection system between the two particles and considering that the elementary particles in nature all have an electric charge, the original nature of the bridge is electromagnetic.    The bridge is not a static system but a system of two particles in electromagnetic interaction during their motion in the universe and when the bridge is realised, a pred...
