Kepler Quantization: The Inverse Analogy
The fundamental trait of the Man’s path to truth is that he never looks back in order to reevaluate the concepts he created: always he deals with “new discoveries”. Everything is progress to infinity, as Hegel once said (Hegel, 1991), progress without a goal, or with an assumed goal at best. Feynman theory of partons for instance, is a striking example illustrating the issue. We have here a clear evidence of the fact that we must reconsider the ideas of the Hertz’s Natural Philosophy (Hertz, 2003) by all means: the Feynman’s partons are the variant in vogue, so to speak, of the material particles of Hertz. They were revealed exactly in the place where they should be, according the the ideas of the theory of light and material points. It is indeed to be expected that, in close collisions, the material points will reveal to each other, by interaction, physical structures given by some other material points, but constituted from the very same material particles – partons.
Another striking example, on which we want to insist in this essay, is the new wave of application of Bohr-like quantization process to astronomical problems of the planetary systems (Nottale et al, 1997). It carries an important gnoseological meaning. As this meaning is hardly stressed anywhere in the scientific publications, and as we think it is overwhelmingly important for human knowledge (our thinking is however not isolated; see Christianto, 2006), we thought worth our while revealing it both for the general audiences and for the special ones.
Added. Nice work on this one. Btw, my blog is dofollow, stop by and grab a link. Bompa
