Nothing and Everything
The infinity in the nothing and the everything in the part
by Paolo Di Sia, Adjunct Professor, Universities of Padova and Verona, Italy
How is it possible that everything around us, especially dense, hard matter, as we see and perceive it with our senses, is fundamentally “empty space”, and vice versa? Yet to date, what we know about the structure of matter, moving ever more towards the infinitely small, leads to a vision of reality of this type, with the scientific evidence that 99.9999999999996% of atoms are made up of empty space.
The study of the vacuum properties has always attracted the attention of science, but also of philosophy, in particular Eastern philosophy, which has attributed great importance to the vacuum. There is almost unlimited high frequency energy in the universe and our body has the ability to resonate with this energy; “canonical” science has always been skeptical of this vision of reality, but skepticism does not help and does not provide an irrefutable proof.
Various experiments are instead highlighting this type of phenomena, as well as the influence of our thoughts on reality, the connection with everything. The human being is not just a physical body, there is a spiritual part in us that plays a significant role, we have a potential that we do not yet fully know.
The human being identifies the objects of reality as distinct, separate, she/he does not grasp the correlation of everything in a dynamic and interconnected network of motions, actions, reactions, energies. This vision of related reality is connected to holographic and fractal concepts, among the main scientific-philosophical bases of modern holistic science, extended to the entire reality of existence and the dimensions of consciousness.
The basis is the idea of “global information” that connects the part to the whole; the single part contains within it a complete representation of the whole from which it derives. It manifests itself through geometries of a fractal nature, in which the reality repeats itself in its form in the same way, without changing its appearance when seen on different dimensional scales.
The human body also appears to have a holographic-fractal structure, studied and used in various non-canonical medical disciplines, such as auriculo-therapy and iridology. The cell itself, the basic unit of every living organism, provides a unique and complete picture of the entire organism through its DNA.
The holographic-fractal vision shows us surprising truths, extremely far from the “canonical” point of view of reading the reality surrounding us. The interaction with reality at a primary level, that is, from the extra-dimensions with respect to the four space-time dimensions, would explain phenomena such as precognition, psychokinesis, healing processes, the distortion of the sense of time, the experience of unity with the universe, the perception of emptiness as full and of reality as emptiness.
Every aspect of the universe, in its essence, can be interpreted in terms of frequency, energy, vibration. In light of this, the canonical division of matter into two general categories, living and non-living ones, does not hold if all aspects of the universe are energy expressions. In the holographic model, time does not exist if understood as a linear succession of moments; it is our intellect that binds us to time, linking the concept of time to biological decay and death. Out of this temporal vision, it is possible to consider multi-directional and flexible properties of time.
Theoretical and phenomenal scientific discoveries (of physics in particular) are increasingly highlighting the concept of “inter-penetration”, already valued in Eastern theosophies as not intellectually comprehensible, but perceivable in a state of meditation by an enlightened mind. In modern physics we have a similar situation; the forces acting on the particles are themselves exchanged particles, and these processes have a precise mathematical meaning, but a very difficult visualization in the ordinary sense of the term.
It is extremely difficult to imagine how a single particle can contain all the others and simultaneously be part of each of them. This is also the point of view of Māhāyana Buddhism: the one isolated by other things is permeated by them all and at the same time includes them all in itself. These are concepts that we find not only in the Eastern mysticism, but also in Western mystical thought, and in poetic verses: “Seeing the world in a grain of sand, the sky in a flower, holding the infinity in the palm of your hand, seeing the eternity in an hour”.
Eastern mystical traditions have always considered the consciousness as an integral part of the universe. In modern physics, the question of consciousness arose in relation to the observation of phenomena; the ultimate all-encompassing theories of physics do not appear to be formulable in a fully coherent way without the reference to consciousness.
Among the recent attempts to explain the structure of the vacuum, the detailed study of a “primordial dynamic space” seeks to define the global intrinsic structure and properties of space. It is a space with a multi-dimensional hyper-complex structure, with toroidal, fractal, entanglement, synchronic and holonomic properties, from which space-time would emerge.
Future expansions of unified physical theories to consciousness may open up unprecedented possibilities that may go well beyond the conventional scientific framework, a “vision” of reality as a whole that transcends science. Who knows where we will arrive in the attempt to explain in ever greater detail these aspects that seem so far, but which are also incredibly close to the experience of each of us.
Paolo Di Sia is currently adjunct professor at the universities of Padova and Verona (Italy) and head of the “Primordial Dynamic Space” Research in Verona (Italy). He got a Bachelor in Metaphysics, a Master in Theoretical Physics and three PhDs (Mathematics, Theoretical Physics applied to Nanotechnology, Philosophy of Science). His scientific interests span transdisciplinary physics, classical and quantum-relativistic nanophysics, nano-biotechnology, nano-neuroscience, theories of everything, foundations of physics, history and philosophy of science, science education. He is author of hundreds of works to date.
