mathematical infinity of QFT

[AntonioLao]

Quantum field theory (QFT) is really a theory about infinite number of degrees of freedom (see Michio Kaku’s Quantum Field Theory: a Modern Introduction, page 21, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1993 and Sunny Y. Auyang’s How is Quantum Field Theory Possible?, page 47, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1995). But how could infinity become a quantum? Or for what’s worth, how could the Universe becomes infinitely big? That is if it continues expanding forever. A more compelling question is why the Universe expands at all? And even more perplexing is the fact that the universal expansion has no center. Every point of the spacetime continuum would be a center. Although it has a logical beginning it is bound to be endless, or maybe not?

This so called beginning makes sense only if equality was the order of the day. So, the beginning was the order and the order was the equality and all equalities (whether absolute or relative) repel each other. However, the conservation of local infinitesimal spacetime current as local infinitesimal motion (LIM) or quantized magnetic currents (existing in pairs hence the nonexistence of magnetic charges) moving at superluminal speed gives rise to random quantum spacetime fluctuations forming a false vacuum field and consequently hides the bare nakedness of the true vacuum of absolutely positive and negative quantum fields. These can only be properly described by squares of energy at varying level of LOEs. Furthermore the uneven, non-uniform distributions of these quantum fields give rise to attractive central forces and different varieties of mass and charge: rest masses, electromagnetic masses, inertial masses, gravitational masses; electric charges, weak charges, color charges, and spacetime charges. Altogether in parts or in whole these form the local and global properties of matter and energy.

In the introductory post you said that the universe has to grow for ever (eternity) to become infinite. That is not true, there is no physical possibility for this. If something finite grows, it grows into bigger finities. And those grow into bigger finities. Even in infinite time. I disagree with the theory (I can't remember it's name?) which stated that eternity (no end in time) can lead to infinity (no end in space). I do agree with the theory that said that if a monkey was writing for ever in a typing machine, he would write all the books ever written by humanity. But there is a difference, cause int he case of the books, it is a finite number, there are no infinite books written by humans, whiles for the universe, it is stated to become infinite, which is nonsense.

Also I believe that maybe by 'quantized infinity' it could mean 'quantized continuousity' that is, that space-time is both continuous and quantized, as your theory defends.

[AntonioLao]

the universe has to grow for ever

logically speaking not scientifically or experimentally or observationally speaking.

that said that if a monkey was writing for ever in a typing machine, he would write all the books ever written by humanity.

monkey business has to do with probability and the second law of thermodynamics and the increase of entropy and global randomness. No one wins, and the worst is not even breaks even.

Is it logical at all to believe in any 'for ever'? I believe it isn't.

Wait, now entropy doens't make sense. If the monkey wil write for ever, then he will write the most ordered book ever, but as entropy must grow, then it doesn't make sense, for it should be more and more disordered, what the moneky types. Does this mean that ccording to entropy, if I don't clean or organise my room ever, one day I'll wake up and i will be in the maximum state of order? If so, then I'll use that theory as an excuse for not cleaning my room....lol

Where I read it I have forgotten but if something in the universe is becoming more ordered then there is a more disorderness arising somewhere else so that the universe as a whole has more entropy. But why should the Entropy increase can anyone please explain?

Mohan,Entropy,is a measure of the "uncertainty" or randomness of a system.
Thats the problem with the question?We think there is randomness and
uncertainty,because of our basic ignorance of what reality is!The universe is
unfolding as a lotus unfolds in the morning sunlight.All is operating under
natural law,and unfolding as the intention intended,evolution of the system
and that of consciousness?


kind regards michael.

If the entropy of your surrounding increases faster than the entropy in your room then it is possible, relatively speaking, in the distant future, your room would be more orderly than the universe.

But why should the Entropy increase

Because everything else is getting colder. Entropy is inversely proportional to temperature.
