Minime Physics

Introduction - Just For Fun

The subsections on physics include a few semi-serious scientific assessments, some speculative notions, and light commentary on the state of the field. This is all meant to be provocative and fun, and is intended for those who enjoy pondering big issues and questions about nature. Hopefully, the information provided will whet readers' appetite for the subjects that are presented, including the pros and the cons of physical theories, the relevant cultural issues, and challenges that lay ahead.

However, the goal here is not to be a harsh critic or smart-aleck.  Physics is too noble of a pursuit for that.

Physics is defined broadly as a process for discerning the functioning of the universe, including matter, energy, forces, and phenomena. Over the past 100-150 years an understanding of laws governing much of the natural world, particularly atomic physics, have become increasingly complicated and mathematical.  To be sure, this approach has proved fruitful and useful.  Yet the heavy reliance on a math-intensive, or math-first, or some would say math-only philosophy for understanding the universe has often excluded simpler mechanistic alternatives that approach nature with a different mindset and toolbox.

Avoneaux Med investigates explanations for natural phenomena with an emphasis on wave-based mechanistic theories, focusing on the minimal components (‘Minime Physics’) that describe and explain what is observed and measured in the universe.  There are three major areas of interest; quantum mechanics, special/general relativity, and shadow/pilot wave theory.

Each of the physics subsections draw heavily from articles or books previously published by the Institute, which are now freely available via the links below.  For interested readers there are extensive literature references listed in each of the sources.
