Rotation of the Cosmos

[ken_roberts]

Well, I've finished my first essay for university, entitled "Ernst Mach on Rotation of the Cosmos". It's not very polished, and rather lightweight because there's a great deal that I don't know about, but I'm rather happy with the essay nonetheless. It's a starting sketch for some ideas I hope to pursue later on, when I get some more vocabulary

Fascinating, especially the idea of "matter as continually created by a refinement of information" and that implying "an infinite universe with an infinite future."

Yes, I think that too. There is so much I cannot understand at present. But it gives some direction to my learning - I want to be able to follow the details. In the broad view, accepting the math details as trustworthy, it seems to me that Gornitz' model means just that ... matter is continuously arising, as a result of information -- in fact, what we call matter IS information. The implications are not just for physics ... it would change our concept of mind. Schrodinger has some things to say about that; Gornitz has done the slog work to fill in the how-happens. It is not hard to read that particular paper of Gornitz' if one just skims over the detail and looks for the concepts -- sort of the Scientific American approach.

Thanks for reading my essay; you're the first!
