diagram. Logistic development

Logistic development (see diagram and for example my text Sociological theory) can explain a difference between a qualitative change and quantitative change. It shows that each kind of so called qualitative change, like for example liquefaction of gas, is just some form of quantitative change. Marxists are using conception of change where quantitative changes transform to qualitative change. But this idea is containing fundamental mistake that there is a difference between qualitative and quantitative change.
What I would like to emphasize is each so called qualitative change, for example the transition of water into ice, or steam into water, is actually a cumulative quantitative change; that is, a quantitative change taking place quickly over a short period of time.
(the above paragraph is from year 2008)

2. Let us assume an existence of homogenous formation space-time-matter, shortly STM.
Illustrative formula but not mathematical: STM = S + TM = T + SM = M + ST [spacetimematter = space + timematter = time + spacematter = matter + spacetime]
M + ST is concerning macroscopic conditions. If - M, + ST matter loses then spacetime profit, it is distance - perspective, objects decrease with distance - ordinary contraction. If + M, - ST matter profit then spacetime loses, it is bringing closer - perspective, objects increase in progress of bringing closer - ordinary dilatation.
S + TM is concerning microscopic conditions. If - TM, + S timematter loses then space profit, it leads to waves and fields. If - S, + TM space loses then timematter profit, it leads to particles.
(the above paragraph is from year 2011)

3. Electrons, quarks and gluons possess internal structure, consist of quadrillion of particles of size about 10^-35 m [they correspond with photons], these then from quadrillion of particles about 10^-50 m, these then from quadrillion of particles about 10^-65 m [they correspond with gravitons]. To confirm legitimacy of assuming of hypothesis of internal structure of smallest from hitherto known structural subatomic particles as electrons, quarks and gluons it can be invoked the theory of science created by A.Comte (see after text Comte's Theory of Science).

diagram. Galatical model

Every following field uses in a large extent from previous, sociology from biology - theory of evolution, biology from chemistry - an example biochemistry, chemistry from physics - even if structure of atom and periodic table, physics from astronomy. Invoking astronomy it can be in physics reach eg. conception of existence of atoms and their internal structure - stars, planets, planetary system. It can be also reach models applied in conception of subquark particles and QG. It is galactical, cosmical and supercosmical model. Mystery of dark matter can be explained in this way that preonical particles possess mass (the above part is from year 2014).
A more careful analysis of the galactical model leads to the conclusion that there are more types of particles of the right type. Types of stars, by supergiants, giants, dwarfs, all the way to the black star (black hole) would correspond to the types of these particles. Cosmical model analysis leads to similar conclusions, where the types of particles would correspond to the appropriate types of galaxies. At the end, the analysis of the supercosmical model leads to similar conclusions.
In addition, it can be assumed that there are types of photon-like particles and corresponding waves with significantly higher speeds than the speed of light. So there are non-electromagnetic waves far above the speed of light (the above part is from year 2019).

4. Two theories which modern physics is based on is the general theory of relativity (GR) and quantum mechanics (QM). GR refers to great phenomena in cosmic scales, where gravity works. QM refers to phenomena in microscale, relates to particles and interactions. Years of research have shown that these two theories work well in experiments. On the other hand they are incompatible with each other. This inconsistency is revealed in very much small scale, Planck scale. To solve it, one should discover the theory showing a deeper reality, it will be the TOE (Theory of everything), explaining all phenomena in the universe.
Among ancient theories, apart from atomism, we can find another one equally useful theory created by the Greek sophist Gorgias who lived in the 5th century BC, which turns out to be helpful in searching for the TOE. In the work On Non-Existence we can find the first thesis of this theory: nothing exists. Well, the ultimate basis for everything is nothingness.
(the above paragraph is from year 2019)

5. Popper's Falsificationism seems to be wrong because the theory tests always strive to confirm it or confirmation and not refute it. So this concept is not unreliable with the actual way science is practiced. From the point of view of scientific research, striving to refute the theory seems to be a kind of nonsense and is something illogical.
For example, General Relativity found confirmation in the Mercury orbit anomalies that Newton's theory could not explain. This confirmation is treated as proof of the validity of the theory. Of course, you can give more examples.
Knowledge is inherently uncertain, as the ancient skeptics have already demonstrated. Therefore, science must use invalid inferences. Induction inferences is one of the basic types of inference of empirical sciences. These are uncertain inferences. Deductive inferences belong to the field of formal sciences such as mathematics and logic. On the basis of empirical science, the use of deduction is not meaningfully possible. By the way, ancient skeptics have also undermined the credibility of the deduction.

6. Solipsism assumes that there is only me, and all reality along with other subjects is only my imagination. Solipsism is more consistent than the positions of Bishop Berkeley. Berkeley assumes that observable things and phenomena are only systems of impressions, because only impressions are directly accessible to us, and assuming the existence of non mental matter is unauthorized speculation. Independence and order as well as existence beyond the perception of things and phenomena observed Berkeley justifies that they are perceived by God.
Berkeley accepts the existence of other subjects, which seems unjustified, a more consistent position is solipsism, which in some formulation may formulate the thesis that the things and phenomena observed are only systems of my private impressions, including other subjects. So since we accept the existence of other subjects, then on this basis we have the full right to accept existence beyond the mental reality. This argument is the strongest argument against Berkeley's theory, let me call it an argument from solipsism.

7. Mass of rubbish fills present physics, for example - cosmical branes giving beginning to big bang and creating other universes, multidimensionality, strings existing in 10 dimensions, parallel universes, microblisters, hyperspace and so on. They are products of exuberant speculation completely detached from reality.

8. Induction would provide knowledge about the future, as would all scientific prediction. However, any transfer of the past to the future is contradictory, because the future does not yet exist and is therefore non-empirical, unverifiable. Therefore, there is no reasoning that gives some knowledge, because 1. there cannot be knowledge about what is not empirical 2. there cannot be knowledge about what does not yet exist, therefore knowledge by its very nature is uncertain and if it was certain it would have to be contradictory. Still different, if certain knowledge is such knowledge that leads to the future, it can be seen that it is impossible because the future does not yet exist. Therefore, no reasoning about facts can be certain. We can't even know what will happen in a few seconds because the future does not yet exists.

9. Are there general abstract ideas? Do they exist in any separate world or reality? Well, the question of whether there is a world of ideas can be answered in the affirmative or negative if we answer the question whether there are general abstract ideas at all. The answer to this question is that these ideas do not exist. General abstract ideas are contradictory, for example, the idea of a tree must combine the properties of large and small trees, with serrated, round, coniferous leaves and so on.

10. For philosophy not questions are important but answers. Philosophy has not to pose, to multiply questions and leave it unanswered. What allegedly has to be its characteristic attribute. As same as science has not to pose questions and leave it unanswered. A function of philosophy, as same as of science is both to pose as and to give answers. But second are much more precious then first.

11. The development of science cannot overtake the moral development of society, an example of such a phenomenon is the release of atomic energy (under the pressure of Hitler's actions), this example should be a warning to future researchers to carefully present certain results, and hide some facts as necessary. Consider how you can make use of your concepts and the scale of the threat.

12. Marxism's errors consist in the fact that 1. the final development is the middle class, not the working class 2. A process of qualitative transition is not necessarily and usually not revolutionary. Even a demographic boom with a growth rate of 2% per year is not revolutionary but evolutionary. Against the background of previous development, it seems very fast, but only because that one was very slow. Therefore, if changes are needed, they should be endeavor gradually, though dynamically reaching them finally 3. Any so called qualitative change - for example, the transition of water into ice, or steam into water - is actually a cumulative quantitative change; that is, a quantitative change taking place quickly over a short period of time.

13. Plato proposed an involutionary model of social development based on gradual decline and degeneration. Which exactly contradicts evidently occurring social evolution and the emergence of an increasingly perfect system. Popper, in opposing historicism, did not take into account the theory of Spencer or Comte, where the development is shown so clearly that only a complete fool can deny it, it probably resulted from his ignorance.

14. Most metaphysics is irrelevant because it uses a not-so-precise, accurate, clear language. With such formalization of physics and chemistry, an informal study of reality should be possible, one should only indicate what it should look like, it should be a scientific philosophy, clear and linguistic precise. Examples include the Gorgias system, the Democritus system and the Berkeley system, others include philosophy closely related to empirical sciences, theory of science or philosophy explicitly referring to empirical sciences.

15. Characteristics of extended theory of evolution of Herbert Spencer, presents as follows - process of evolution is an integration of matter, whereat matter passes from a state of undefined, incoherent homogeneity, simplicities, primordialities, physicalnesses, unformed, amorphisms, undimensional, uniformity, homomorphism to a definite, coherent heterogenicity, complexities, modernities, culture, formation, construction, dimensionality, variousness, polymorphism. This seizure of process of evolution has a polycomplex character.

16. Astrology is the same what a divination from scattered animal bones - so from an aleatorily obtained configuration, function of bones fulfil planets; "accuracy" comes from inaccuracy of used categories which each separately can contain any property or notion. Of course, information value of such "method" must be equal zero.

17. Against claims of such philosophers as Popper atomism does not descend from metaphysical speculations. Democritus took over this view from Hindus during his travels in the east, conception of atoms existed there at the very latest about VIII century BC, and was based on paranormal perceptions of yogis - a source could be only paranormal activity, but for sure not philosophical speculation, in Europe spherical atoms appeared not before XIX century AD.

about the author, My name is Gregory Podgorniak (brn. 01.1977, Szczecinek, West Pomerania, Poland). I am working on field of natural as well as social sciences. During philosophical studies at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan (1996-1999) I was actively act in student scientific organisation, got a scientific scholarship, and one from my articles titled Circulus vitiosus and fourfold petitio principii in the system of Descartes was published in Humanistic Drafts of Publishing House of Humaniora Foundation in Poznan, no. 6, 1998. Unfortunately certain fate events made impossible to me continuing studies to master's and later doctor's degree. Thence I was forced to be content only with a title of bachelor.
Thanks to deep and penetrating researchings I was able to establish indisputably some number of my past incarnations reaching of ancient period, these data are certain, these incarnations are: Auguste Comte (1798-1857) French philosopher and sociologist, Edme Mariotte (1620-1684) French physicist and meteorologist, Bodhidharma (5th or 6th century) buddhist patriarch, Aenesidemus (1 st century BC) Greek sceptical philosopher, Arcesilaus (315-241 BC) Greek sceptical philosopher, Gorgias (485-380 BC) Greek sophist.

18. The basic errors of typical philosophy are rationalism and turbidity. For example, Kant seems to build a system that does not respect the principles of empiricism, and this alone means that its concept must be wrong at its very root. In addition, the writings of Plato, Aristotle, Hegel or Kant seem unbearably cloudy.

19. I know from my own research experience that the most important concept for the entire theory of science is the process of scientific discovery. The physical model of the psychological process of discovery is the strike of lightning. Discovery is a mental flash, the manifestation of a higher intellectual process. Larger discoveries are usually a manifestation of a scientist's genius. Certain competences in the form of the knowledge accumulated by the scientist are required to be discovered.

Mentioned in text Theory of science by Auguste Comte:

Image

According to him whole of sciences consists of theoretical and applied knowledge. Theoretical knowledge divide on general fields as physics or biology, which are an object of his research and detailed such as botany, zoology or mineralogy. Main fields mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology and sociology it is possible to order according to decrescent range of research and complicatedness of theoretical tools what is connected with growing complexity of investigated phenomenones. Following sciences are based on previous, for example to methodically capture chemistry, we must imply acquaintance of physics, because all chemical phenomena are more complicated than physical phenomena, are also from them dependent and themselves do not have on them an influence. Similarly sciences classified as earlier, are older and more advanced from these which are presented as later.

Auguste Comte also developed the concept of social evolution. He distinguished three periods, theological, metaphysical and positive or scientific. In the first, thinking refers to theological fictions, in the second to metaphysical fictions, only in the third does it refer to facts and is based on the phenomena themselves. The position of the third period is positivism. However, this position is not identical to the scientific position, although, for example, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics is in the spirit of positivism. The second position related to science is materialism. However, micro-scale materialism leads to serious difficulties. In addition, there is the concept of nothingness described in the first post of this thread, which could be called nihilism.

20. In the geocentric model, matter has a major advantage over mind. The Sun next to the Earth in this model has some significance. This model corresponds to materialism with the addition of idealism. And in the heliocentric model, mind has a major advantage over matter. A major advantage because the earth plays a certain, albeit small, role in this model. Berkeley's system, which was a Copernican revolution in philosophy, is not fully compatible with the heliocentric model, because it does not take into account the Earth orbiting the sun. The heliocentric model corresponds to idealism with a slight admixture of materialism.
It seems that the best solution to the materialism-idealism problem is to adopt the geocentric model in my new position of ideomaterialism. As the geocentric model seems to be closer to natural perception, and the heliocentric model more distant, in the position of ideomatrialism I assume the predominance of matter over mind. This mind is the universal mind which is basically unconscious and has only flashes of awareness, the minds of particular intelligent forms also play a role.
The eternal dispute between idealism and realism finds a solution in the synthesis of these positions, which is my ideomaterialism.
Microscopic phenomena are mental-material phenomena. Except that matter has an advantage over mind in them. These are to some extent mental processes and therefore depend on the mind of the observer, as implied by quantum mechanics.

in paragraph 4 I added the text:
"At a lower level of the TOE, it will be a concept where space creates matter. And more specifically the square microgrid of space, 10^-80 m in size creates matter. This is similar to earlier computer simulations, where the simulation grids gave images of three-dimensional objects. This microgrid is like a mental simulation, and to some extent it is. The basis for matter is rectangular microgrid of space sizes in the order of 10^-80 m."

new version of paragraph 20:

20. In the geocentric model, matter has a major advantage over mind. The Sun next to the Earth in this model has some significance. This model corresponds to materialism with the addition of idealism. And in the heliocentric model, mind has a major advantage over matter. A major advantage because the earth plays a certain, albeit small, role in this model. Berkeley's system, which was a Copernican revolution in philosophy, is not fully compatible with the heliocentric model, because it does not take into account the Earth orbiting the sun. The heliocentric model corresponds to idealism with a slight admixture of materialism. The heliocentric model is subordinated to the galactical model 2 (different from the model presented in paragraph 3) where all the stars in the galaxy revolve around a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. The galactical model 2 corresponds to idealism with a little bit of materialism where the dominant mind is the unconscious mind.
It seems that the best solution to the materialism-idealism problem is to adopt the geocentric model in my new position of ideomaterialism. As the geocentric model seems to be closer to natural perception, the heliocentric model and galactical model 2 more distant, in the position of ideomatrialism I assume the predominance of matter over mind. This mind is the mind of conscious forms followed by the unconscious mind (what is referring to the galactical model 2).
I adopt the geocentric model because it seems more natural and is the model that comes to mind first. The eternal dispute between idealism and realism finds a solution in the synthesis of these positions, which is my ideomaterialism.
Microscopic phenomena are mental-material phenomena. Except that matter has an advantage over mind in them. These are to some extent mental processes and therefore depend on the mind of the observer, as implied by quantum mechanics.

new vesrsion pf paragraph 20:

In the geocentric model, matter has a major advantage over mind. The Sun next to the Earth in this model has some significance. This model corresponds to materialism with the addition of idealism. And in the heliocentric model, mind has a major advantage over matter. A major advantage because the earth plays a certain, albeit small, role in this model.

The heliocentric model corresponds to idealism with a slight admixture of materialism. The heliocentric model is subordinated to the galactical model 2 (different from the model presented in paragraph 3) where all the stars in the galaxy revolve around a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. The galactical model 2 corresponds to idealism involving materialism where the dominant mind is the conscious mind (due to the accretion disk) based on an unconscious process (black hole) based on a peculiar form of matter (singularity inside a black hole).
It seems that the best solution to the materialism-idealism problem is to adopt the geocentric model in my new position of ideomaterialism. As the geocentric model seems to be closer to natural perception, the heliocentric model and galactical model 2 more distant, in the position of ideomatrialism I assume the predominance of matter over mind.

He kept staring ... he'd been doing this for god know how long ... the last thing he remembered doing before this was licking on a popsicle in recess, back in elementary school. "What is it? What's this?" he thought out loud, "where did it come from and why the hell is it blue?" Questions, questions, questions. Whirrr ... click ... beep ... beep ... beep.

I added a part to paragraph 3:
"Main particle from the galactical model will correspond to a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. Perhaps quarks are made of such particles."

Regarding paragraph 1, to qualitative changes it can be include also the transition between different molecular structures (polymorphs, allotropes or polyamorphs), especially of solids, such as between an amorphous structure and a crystal structure, between two different crystal structures, or between two amorphous structures.

It can be include also the breaking of symmetries in the laws of physics during the early history of the universe as its temperature cooled.
