What is the True Quantum of Nature and its Relationship to Mass and Forces?

    Pull
In summary, gravity is the only invisible force that primarily pulls while most other forces, like electromagnetism and the strong force, have both pulling and pushing effects. This is due to the quantized interaction of the two forces at the infinitesimal region of space, which creates a Local Infinitesimal Motion and defines the true quantum of nature. This true quantum also gives rise to two types of mass: potential and kinetic.

I was just thinking, and gravity, is the only invisible force that "pulls" everything else i can think of, besides magnetism, is a "push". can anyone else think of anything?

Most forces are both. Electromagnetism has opposite effects based on charge. The strong force pushes things that are close, pulls things that are farther, then has negligible efect at long distance. Gravity just pulls. This is why it is the most noticeable force ... it is uncancelled in the grand scheme of things.

To every force, there is an equal and opposite force. But for gravity, these two forces are lock-in together (quantized) at the infinitesimal region of spacetime. And these two forces are not exactly equal in magnitude or exactly opposite in direction giving rise to a net effect of only "pull."

The interaction of these two forces at the infinitesimal region of space creates a Local Infinitesimal Motion (LIM). This LIM is the square of energy, E, given by the following:

[tex] E^2 = F_i \times r_i \cdot F_j \times r_j [/tex]

The square of energy can be called the true quantum of nature. This true quantum gives the definition of two kinds of mass: the potential mass (same as inertial and gravitational mass) and the kinetic mass (which is really the mass component of momentum (linear or angular)).
 

1. What is the meaning behind the phrase "so many pushes, only one pull"?

The phrase "so many pushes, only one pull" is often used as a metaphor to describe a situation where there is a lot of effort or action being put in, but only minimal results are achieved. It can also refer to a scenario where there are several people or factors working towards a common goal, but only one of them is truly effective.

2. Can this phrase be applied to scientific concepts or experiments?

Yes, the phrase can be applied to scientific concepts or experiments. For example, it can be used to describe a hypothesis that has been tested multiple times with different methods, but only one of them yields significant results. It can also be used to describe a research study where many variables are being manipulated, but only one of them has a significant impact on the outcome.

3. Is there a deeper meaning to this phrase in the scientific community?

In the scientific community, the phrase "so many pushes, only one pull" can also refer to the concept of balance and equilibrium. In order for a system to maintain stability, there needs to be equal forces acting in opposite directions. If there are too many pushes and not enough pulls, the system can become unbalanced and chaotic. This concept is often applied in physics and engineering.

4. Are there any real-life examples of this phrase in action?

Yes, there are many real-life examples of this phrase in action. One example is in sports, where a team can have multiple players pushing towards a goal, but only one player scores the winning point. Another example is in politics, where there may be many politicians pushing for a certain policy, but only one of them is able to successfully pass it into law.

5. How can we avoid falling into the trap of "so many pushes, only one pull"?

To avoid falling into the trap of "so many pushes, only one pull", it is important to carefully analyze and evaluate all factors and variables involved. This can help identify which ones are truly impactful and should be prioritized. It is also important to work towards a balanced and harmonious approach, rather than solely focusing on one aspect. Collaboration and open-mindedness can also help to avoid this trap and achieve more effective results.
