On the Emergence of Physical World from Deeper Reality

Abstract

Based on the statements of several prominent scientists, I argue that space is not an empty - void extension of nothingness; rather, there exist, at deeper level, an entity which is all-pervading in space and ever-present in time. This deeper (or even ultimate) reality may be visualized as “mutually-balanced electrostatic field”. It is suggested that matter is just a process or phenomenon of fluctuation spontaneously generated in this ultimate reality. It is then logically derived that only spherical patterns of fluctuations are sustained for longer durations, so there are a number of spherical fluctuation-patterns, which we perceive as the fundamental particles of matter. Further, a mathematical derivation is presented which supports the logic that a particle of matter is a localized spherical standing wave. This approach leads to: (i) a new insight into the wave-particle duality of fundamental particles; and (ii) a new understanding that the currently considered quantum-mechanical waves are envelop-variations or modulations of the actual more fundamental waves considered here. This understanding of the nature of particles leads us to a new understanding of gravity and an explanation for the observed relative strengths of the gravitational and electric forces.
