Abstract

Since antiquity philosophers were searching for something stable among all changes in the surrounding. Energy turned out to be the quantity, which is conserved. However in modern physics energy has lost any relation to change. Energy has the potential to do work, but no interest. It is a number, a scalar quantity. The book investigates the consequences when assuming energy to be dynamic, a vector. Energy is defined to have the tendency to decrease its presence per state. When no energy is turned over in a quantum state, it is oscillating between a particle, where energy is concentrated, and a wave, where energy is distributed. Energetically, a particle and a wave are not identical (as claimed now). Since diluted energy has a decreased working ability and generates non-available (entropic) energy, energy in form of information has simultaneously to be activated to transform the diluted energy reversibly back into concentrated form (a particle). The discussed consequences of this energy model are: 1) energy drives time. Time is the trace, which energy conversion carves into the environment and our brain. 2) Energy and time are related and can only be transformed together as action (energy x time). Only action exists in nature. Since action is invariant, time traveling (which leads to paradoxes) is not possible. Time is not an illusion, but deducible from action 3) Due to the new defined energy properties of the quantum states, quantum paradoxes appear to be eliminated. In the double slit experiment the (energy of) information which is generated to reconvert the wave into a particle, also carries the information from the second slit to a particle. 4) Since energy induces time oriented processes, self organization (which needs to distinguish between a "before" and an "after) of matter is a straightforward consequence. Since information has an energy content, also information can self organize. As living self organized matter is hierarchically above inorganic matter, self organized information controls ordinary information. It is defined and discussed as our consciousness. The author feels that his hypothesis of a dynamically behaving energy eliminates relevant paradoxes in present physics and deserves to be closer examined. It also shows that evolution has an aim (in contrast to present understanding). This aim is competition for always more energy. If this is true mankind is facing a problem.
