Wholeness and the Implicit Order by David Bohm Order, Measure and Structure in Classical Physics As has already been indicated in general terms, classical physics implies a certain basic descriptive order and measure. This may be characterized as the use of certain Cartesian coordinates and by the notion of universal and absolute order of time, independent of that of space. This further implies the absolute character of what may be called Euclidean order and measure (i.e., that characteristic of Euclidean geometry). With this order and measure, certain structures are possible. In essence, these are based on the quasi-rigid body, considered as a constituent element. The general characteristic of classical structure is just the analysability of  everything into separate parts, which are either small, quasirigid bodies, or their ultimate idealization as extensionless particles. As pointed out earlier, these parts are considered to be working together in interaction (as in ...

Gravitational Waves Discovered: Einstein Was Right Theory of relativity confirmed. A new era in the study of the universe, black holes and the fabric of spacetime. Important Italian contribution di Paolo Virtuani At 10.50 and 45 seconds (Italian time) on 14 September 2015 the two LIGO detectors in the US (in Washington State and Louisiana) recorded something unusual. Then they started testing. And on Thursday, at 4.30 pm in Pisa (a few minutes before a similar press conference in Washington) the official announcement of the discovery of gravitational waves was finally made. For physics and science in general, 11 February 2016 will go down as an historic date. The existence of gravitational waves was predicted almost exactly a century ago, in November 1915, when Albert Einstein illustrated his general theory of relativity, of which they are a cornerstone. However, until now their existence has never been demonstrated. The news can rightly aspire to the title of “discovery of the c...
