physics student working on ultracapacitors in Silicon Valley.
Actually, I think it's useful to think
of «Big Bang» as a short - hand for «That point in the past when the energy density becomes so high that our current
models of physics can't describe what happened».
«It makes no obvious difference to our salvation whether the geometry
of our universe is Euclidian, whether quantum mechanics is the last word in atomic

Physics Standard
Model hinges on that.
It annoys me too much to see another generation
of physicist deterred by the dumb, messy patchwork called the Big Bang and other called the standard
model of particle
physics that hide the basic problems
physics ought to deal with.
If physicists come up with a mathematically consistent explanation for God and the
model works for everything in
physics, then that might be the right answer, but that God won't be the God in any
of mankind's religions because all
of those God's have been as disproven as gravity is proven.
If there is a basic thesis, it is that Whitehead has used the concept
of the electromagnetic field in
physics as a
model for human experience (PW 125/134, 183/201; RL 285).
During the same time period that the theory
of evolution has been around we have created computers, sent a man to the moon, done heart transplants, discovered quantum
physics, proven entanglement theory, ect but evolution still has no explanation for it and no mathematical
model of it occurring randomly and naturally.
The beauty
of evolutionary biology is that unlike
physics, where you have to take a ton
of data to hope that the one
model you've got really works, evolution allows you to pull together pieces from hundreds
of different areas
of search to all support the same theory.
And that is true in Bergson's concept
of the pulsations
of matter, which then is like the 1926 - 1927 quantum
physics, and not like the earlier Niels Bohr
model of quantum
physics where the pulsations are perfectly distinct, going from one electron shell to the other without passing through the intervening space.
Within
physics complementary
models are used in the domain
of the unobservably small, whose characteristics seem to be radically unlike those
of everyday objects; the electron can not be adequately visualized or consistently described by familiar analogies.
«When the physical
model of wave - motion in a material medium had to be abandoned in
physics», writes Mary Hesse, «it left its traces in the kind
of mathematics which was used, for this was still a mathematical language derived from the wave equations
of fluid motion, and so, for the mathematician, it carried some
of the imaginative associations
of the original physical picture.»
I now wish to look more specifically at the role
of complementary
models in twentieth century
physics, and then at some possible parallels in religious thought.
After describing in some detail the principle
of complementarity in
physics, Austin suggests that images
of God as Father and as Judge are complementary
models used to interpret individual and corporate experience.24 The prophet Amos, he points out, interpreted events in Israel's history primarily in terms
of God's judgment, while Hosea understood events in terms
of God's forgiveness.
I can see a certain parallel with the situation in atomic
physics: the use
of two
models which can not be combined, along with recognition
of the limitations
of all
models and the inadequacy
of literalism.
However, the use
of personal and impersonal
models within the Hindu tradition, or within the Christian tradition, does seem to present some interesting parallels with complementarity in
physics, which we must now examine further.
I do not see here quite the kind
of mutual exclusiveness that exists between particles and waves, which prevents the development
of a single compromise
model in quantum
physics.
Whitehead makes a point
of taking a concept from biology to understand
physics instead
of interpreting biological organisms from
models developed in
physics.
Much
of the reason for the huge decade - long upgrade to the CERN particle - accelerator facility in Geneva - creating the «Large Hadron Collider» (LHC)- was the prospect
of finding evidence for one
of the keystones in the theoretical edifice that is the «Standard
Model»
of particle
physics, the «Higgs boson.»
Past experiments at CERN and elsewhere (but using lower energies) together with theoretical work linking the electromagnetic, weak and strong forces led to the «Standard

Within the field
of modern science, Thomas also distinguishes between the sciences based on mathematical
models which are constructed from empirical data, e.g. mathematical

In the more difficult areas
of physics, such as theoretical nuclear
physics or the quantum

of physics we now use abstract mathematical representations which can not be visualized at all.
In his
Physics, he developed a philosophy
of nature (which he called second philosophy) that was a combination
of metaphysics as well as empirical science, e.g. his geo - centric
model of an eternal universe.
Nevertheless, as we have seen, there is a small but growing number
of scientists, both in
physics and biology, who operate with a relational
model, who see some correspondence between the constructs
of the mind and reality itself, however inexact, and who also see the possibility
of restoring the experience
of meaning if the non-human natural world is perceived as dynamic, creative, full
of life and purpose, whom process thinkers have engaged in conversation; together they have attempted to explore new visions
of reality better suited for adaptation to the urgent needs
of the contemporary world.
John's premise is true in that Einstein's Theory

model»
of the world grew out
of Whitehead's earlier work in
physics.
Birch and Cobb maintain that the ecological
model is more adequate than the mechanical
model for explaining DNA, the cell, other biological subject matter (as well as subatomic
physics), because it holds that living things behave as they do only in interaction with other things which constitute their environment (LL 83) and because «the constituent elements
of the structure at each level (
of an organism) operate in patterns
of interconnectedness which are not mechanical» (LL 83).
Freud's instinctivistic and biological reductionism led him to a mechanistic
model of human beings reflecting nineteenth - century Newtonian
physics.
In that revolutionary address he unified geometry and
physics into a single set
of axioms by symbolic logic.2 While the memoir does not comment theologically, it does propose a theory
of intersection points, or interpoints, which in its mathematical abstraction suggests a lucid and stimulating
model for projecting Whitehead's understanding
of God's relation to space.
This finds its deepest expression in quantum
physics, which has rejected the substantialist
model of nature.
Let's not talk particle
physics yet because most
of that is theoretical
models describing what we experience.
Perhaps our

of such diversity, spanning the realms
of physics, chemistry, biology, geology, etc..
Nature is unpredictable, especially at the level
of quantum
physics; the billiard - ball

physics, where both wave and particle
models are used for electrons, photons, and other inhabitants
of the atomic world.
