20th Natural Philosophy Alliance Proceedings

Natural Philosophy Alliance published in conjunction with the 20th Annual Natural Philosophy Alliance conference.

The John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society (CNPS) provides an open forum for the study, debate, and presentation of serious scientific ideas, theories, philosophies, and experiments that are not commonly accepted in mainstream science. The CNPS uses the term "Natural Philosophy" in its broader sense which includes physics, cosmology, mathematics, and the philosophy of science. Our goal is to return to the basics where things went wrong and start anew.

The Natural Philosophy Alliance (NPA) sponsors regular international conferences for presenting high-quality papers discussing aspects of philosophy in the sciences. Many papers offer challenges to accepted orthodoxy in the sciences, especially in physics. Everything from the micro-physics of quantum mechanics to the macro-physics of cosmology is entertained.Though the main interest of the NPA is in challenging orthodoxy in the sciences, it will also feature papers defending such orthodoxy. Our ultimate propose is to enable participants to articulate their own understanding of the truth. All papers are reviewed by society officers, and sometimes by other members, before presentation in conferences and they are edit, sometimes very significantly prior to publication in the Proceedings of the NPA.

What we call time in physics is not a real entity in the universe. The real entities in the universe are matter and energy. Energy gives motion to matter or allows the transformation of matter, giving us the illusion of passing time or more precisely a perception of an Òarrow of timeÓ. The mistake about using time as a real entity in physics came first in the 18th century when L. Euler, in 1752, states that acceleration of a body is the time derivative of velocity. Instead, we will use dÕAlembert definition of acceleration deduced by experimental results: (phi*dt)=dv, where dt is not time differential as in differential calculation but only a small constant of ÒdurationÓ, and phi the acceleration. Einstein theory was to think that time is a real entity in the universe and then space-time coordinates can describe the universe.

This book is intended for anyone who is interested in a real physical image and order of the physical world surrounding us.In this book Einstein's destruction of physics is documented. The physical reality of gravity, inertial forces, mass, time, double-slit experiment is debunked. It shows that Quarks and Higgs bosons do not exist and that all elementary particles, all rigid matter and all force fields in the Universe are created from compression of ether. It show that Einstein, after 1916 became a more enthusiastic advocate of the proven existence of the ether than supporters of the ether before 1905.The aim of this book is to return physics from its way of metaphysics in the 20th century on the way of the physical reality in the 21st century. This second edition of this book was augmented by twenty pages compared to its first edition. After this augmentation it appears that the argumentation about the unacceptability of the ill-founded physical theories of the 20th century represents a compact corpus.

Dive into the intricate world of philosophy and science with "Natural Philosophy" by Wilhelm Ostwald. This enlightening work delves into the fundamental principles of science and its relationship with philosophy. Ostwald's keen insights and Seltzer's adept translation make this a must-read for those seeking to understand the deeper connections between the natural world and philosophical thought.
