Abstract

I am Gabriel Vacariu (Philosophy, Bucharest Univ.). My main idea is that of EDWs (“epistemologically different worlds”) in 2002-2003, 2005, 2007, 16 books 2008-2024 (2016, a book at SPRINGER, Germany!): the Universe/world does not exist. there are, instead, the EDWs like the macro-EW, the micro-EW, the field-EW or the mind-EW. (Each mind is an EW, “epistemological world”). My EDWs perspective furnishes an alternative to many problems from Cognitive Neuroscience, Physics and Philosophy: the mind-brain problem, all quantum problems (entanglement, nonlocality, etc.), emergence, levels, etc. - The main rule: One EW does not exist for any EDW. For instance, the macro-EW does not exist for the micro-EW the mind-EW does not exist for the brain/body (an entity in the macro-EW). The electromagnetic field is an entity which belongs to the field-EW, while the microparticles belong to the micro-EW. - The main notion: “correspondence” (no ontological status): 1) the mind corresponds to the brain/body (and its interactions with environment). 2) two microparticles (the micro-EW) correspond to one electromagnetic wave/field (the field-EW). 3) a table (the macro-EW) corresponds to an huge amalgam of microparticles (the micro-EW). - The observer, detector, microparticle is not, really, in quantum entanglement with another microparticle. In the micro-EW, that entanglement could not have any ontological status. HOWEVER, those two particles correspond to an electromagnetic wave/field which belongs to the field/wave-EW. So, there are ED entities (like microparticles and waves) which belong to the EDWs. For those two electrons and the distance between them (1km or 1 billion kms, it does not matter at all) between those two electrons (all belong to the micro-EW), there is the "corresponding" wave (which belong to the field-EW). So, entanglement is exactly this correspondence which does not have any ontological status... - In this way, I solved the mind-brain problem (it is a pseudo-problem since the mind does not exist for the brain/body!), all problems of quantum mechanics (entanglement and nonlocality), Einstein's general relativity (it refers to the planets, entities which belong to the macro-EW) vs. Quantum Mechanics (regarding quantum, there are at least two EDWs, the micro-EW and the field-EW), emergence (any kind), supervenience, self, life, etc. (Many people have already PLAGIARIZED my ideas!) In our book 2016, I indicated there is no “dark matter”/“energy”, no “spacetime”. - I rejected the “Big Bang” as being the first process, there were EDWs before the many Big Bangs (13.82 billions years ago)...
