The Bridge Theory

If you accept the idea of the existence of the bridge, you change the very way you look at interactions. We no longer start from forces, fields, constants, we start from a mediated exchange that takes place through a temporary configuration. The bridge does not explain what interacts, it explains how the interaction takes place. The exchange does not occurs instantaneously, it is structured in time In the standard physical framework, the interaction is often represented graphically as a summit a punctual event, an immediate passage, but if there is a bridge the exchange occupies space, has a physical duration, the energy does not pass "at once", it is temporarily organised in the mediation structure. This means a simple but powerful thing: the interaction has an internal dynamic duration, even if it is not always directly observable. Balance becomes the central principle D uring the exchange, what is emitted, what is absorbed and what remains "temporarily" in the br...

One thing is clear: if physics is made of events and exchanges, then something is needed that makes the exchange possible. It is not enough to say that two entities interact, we must ask ourselves how entities enter into relation and this is where the idea of a bridge is born. Why "Bridge" The term Bridge is not a literary metaphor, but a precise conceptual choice. A bridge is not a source, an autonomous object, a new fundamental entity. A bridge is what connects two systems, which allows a passage, which exists only as long as the passage takes place. Applied to physics, this means a simple but radical thing: the bridge is not an addition to the system but the physical condition of the exchange. Mediating is not to sum In the standard way of telling physics the interactions add up, each force contributes with its own term, the result is a combination of independent effects. The idea of the bridge changes perspective.    Mediating means that the exchange takes place through ...

There is a curious fact in modern physics: we know how to calculate almost everything, but we understand less and less what we are describing. Theories work, often in extraordinary ways. Forecasts coincide with experiments with measurements at an impressive number of figures. Yet, if we ask what is really happening, the answer becomes vague, fragmented, sometimes circular. Interactions without a mechanism In the standard story: particles interact because there are fundamental interactions, interactions exist because they are described by fields, fields exist because they work mathematically. But what happens physically during an interaction? What does it mean, in concrete terms, that two entities “exchange” something during interaction? Energy? Quantity of motion? Information? Above all: why does that exchange have that value and not another? Here the first problem emerges: the physical mechanism is replaced by formalisation. Constants that don't tell a story Mating constants are a...
