Only something material can change something material too, and it’s not just EMPTY NOTHINGNESS! The absolute absence of anything.
NOTHING can affect anything but “NOTHING” too only!!
Even if it’s chock-full of our idiotic falsy IDEAS about him!
As usual, we confused the cause with the effects, consequences.
The REASON is the propagating electromagnetic field.
The CONSECQUEBCE is our feeling of a CERTAIN ABSOLUTE EMPTINESS OF the ENTIRE huge house (space and time) in which matter “lives”.
Again, our idea, ossified into an indisputable dogma, corresponds to REALITY exactly the opposite: For us, space and time are some kind of extra–material entities that create the conditions (forms) for matter to inhabit in them.
But in fact, it was a completely material electromagnetic field that created and is these two essential forms! It and only it is material, and it can also influence everything else, also material!
For us, space and time are two basic entities in which “EVERYTHING” happens: Particles, electromagnetic, gravitational and all other fields arise, change and disappear…
In fact, everything is wrong: It is the field propagating at the speed of light that CREATES and is space and time FOR US, living beings! Due to the peculiarities of sensory perceptions in ALL LIVING BEINGS, we perceive this field as a kind of giant barn, in which all sorts of mysteries of the existence of matter are created. And we, on the basis of our feeble experiments with matter, attribute to the same electromagnetism a certain secondary function from space and time, when in reality it is it that is PRIMARY! And the orthogonality of its components – the Electric Induction Vector orthogonal to the Magnetic Induction Vector and both orthogonal to the Vector of Propagation of the Field at the speed of light “C” – is the orthogonality of our three-dimensional space. This is also the reason why the speed of light is unattainable for any bodies with a rest mass (inertia of rest).
We, all living beings, exist in the world of a PHANTOM created by the peculiarities of our sensory perception of the surrounding world.
And, of course, it is almost impossible for us to get rid of the billion–year habit that the earth is solid, the water is wet, and the air is light “like fluff from the mouth of an Aeolus”, but WE NEED TO!
Faciant meliora potentes.
If I’m wrong, let my senior colleagues correct me.
