Origin of mass
Published by admin May 27th, 2008 in Physics, Doctors of Philosophy, MassAtomic materialism is the fundamental doctrine of Newtonism, not force. This fact is recognized in the SI system of units where force is a derived unit while mass is a base unit. But mass is derived too. When you eliminate forces by equating them you get mass. In definition 1 Newton defined R3/T2 as mass, or mass = volume * density or mass = R3/T2. Additionally, Newton defined mass as a measure of “quantity of matter.” The hidden assumption of matter comes from Newton’s belief that “God in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, moveable particles.” I call this Newton’s law of physics because it is the fundamental doctrine Newtonian physics is based on. Without the religious doctrine of atomic materialism a concept of mass does not exist. And without mass Newtonian physics does not exist.
Newton’s followers ignored Newton’s important distinction that mass was not a property but a measure of matter and they reified the label mass and made it a physical quantity distinct from R3/T2. In physics, mass means specific values of R3/T2 or M1 = R13/T12, M2 = R23/T22, M3 = R33/T32 and so on. The mass of Sun would be Ms = Rs3/Ts2 and the mass of Earth would be Me = Re3/Te2 and their ratio would be Ms/Me = (Rs3/Ts2) * (Te2/Re3) = 338,116. The accepted value of Ms/Me is 332,683. Therefore, a quantity called mass does not exist because mass is the name of the proportion R3/T2.
By labeling R3/T2 “mass” Newton branded it with his doctrine of atomic materialism and also obscured the fundamental nature of this proportion. Newton defined the observational rule R3/T2 as Kepler’s planetary law, valid only in the solar system, and defined his superficial labels on R3/T2 as universal laws discovered by him. What is general and fundamental is the observational rule R3/T2 not Newton’s names for it. R3/T2 is not a measure or property of something unobserved called matter but it is the mean density of the volume R3. R/T2 is density at R.
Mass, therefore, is a product of Newton’s religious belief in the doctrine of atomic materialism. Atomic materialism is a religious doctrine because Newton invokes God’s authority to overrule observations. Physics is a profession based on Newton’s religious beliefs. Physicists share Newton’s belief in atomic materialism and perpetuate this religious doctrine by teaching it to new generations. R3/T2 has its roots in observations, not in doctrine. Furthermore, R3/T2 refutes Newtonian doctrine of atomic materialism and its corresponding massive and forceful Newtonian System of the World defined as true nature. This is so, because R has no privileged value. All values of R are equally valid. There are no absolute boundaries defined by a privileged value Ri where, Ri is the radius of indivisibility and Ri3/Ti2 = Mi, is the mass of indivisibility or what physicists call “building blocks of matter.” This is wrong because all discontinuities are conventional. Physicists claim divine creation as the basis of physics and believe in indivisible particles. As rational scientists we uphold the observational authority of R3/T2 and reject Newtonian doctrine of atomic materialism and its symbol mass. Professional doctors of physics still perpetuate the religious doctrines of Newton as true science.
