Introduction

Intrinsic motions of any kind are expressions of the conservation laws (Energy, Symmetry) and their corollaries (Entropy, Causality) (see: "The Tetrahedron Model of Energy and Conservation Law"). While in the case of free energy, the intrinsic motion of light can be traced to Entropy and Symmetry in the service of Energy Conservation, the intrinsic (dimensional) motions of matter (time, gravity) involve an additional principle, Causality, also serving Energy Conservation. Bound energy is asymmetric information, essentially the matter half of the information contained in light's particle-antiparticle form. This information is carried as charge, spin, mass, momentum, identity, location, etc., conserved attributes of the energy, symmetry, and dimensionality of the light which created the particle-antiparticle pairs. The purpose of the charge component of this information is to ensure and facilitate the immediate annihilation of the particle-antiparticle pairs, conserving and protecting the symmetry of the light which created them. Although matter is isolated from antimatter during the Big Bang, this purpose remains unaltered through time, resulting in matter's eternal search for antimatter, and in the ultimate return of bound energy to light via gravitationally driven processes such as the conversion of mass to light in stars, quasars, and Hawking's "quantum radiance" of black holes; or via radioactivity, particle and proton decay.

The development of life and the Information Pathway is the probable outcome of the intersection of the negentropic gravitational drive and the 4x3 Fractal Algorithm of the Cosmos. Not only does life allow the Universe the experience of self-awareness, self-knowledge, and self-appreciation, but the information pathway also represents a parallel or biotic route for the conversion of bound to free energy, of which our development of the hydrogen bomb and the pursuit of solar fusion energy technology is the most current and striking example.

Noether's Theorem

In 1918 the German mathematician Emmy Noether published a theorem which has become of pivotal importance in the attempt to formulate a Unified Field Theory. "Noether's Theorem" states that in a multicomponent field, such as the metric field of spacetime or the electromagnetic field of light, where one finds a symmetry, one finds an associated conservation law, and vice versa. In Nature, the conserved charges (and spin) of particles and the inertial and gravitational forces of spacetime are Noether's Theorem enforced.

Elsewhere in these pages I have made much of the intrinsic motion of light or massless free energy. Below I consider the various intrinsic motions (dimensional and otherwise) of atomic matter or massive bound energy.

The Dimensional Intrinsic Motions of Matter
(Conservation of the symmetric characteristics of light's wave form: light's "non-local" metric symmetry - light's spacetime "Interval" = zero. The "location" charge of gravitation and matter's search for a return pathway to symmetric light: gravity is matter's memory it once was light.)

G, T (gravitation, time): these are the dimensional intrinsic motions of matter, the primordial form of matter's Entropy (as required by the Conservation of Energy and Causality). (See: "A Description of Gravitation"; also "Spatial vs Temporal Entropy".)

1) Gravitation: gravity is the spatial consequence of the intrinsic motion of time; conversely, time is created by the gravitational annihilation of space. Time and gravity induce each other endlessly, much as electric and magnetic fields induce each other. Implicit time (in the form of "frequency") is the hidden entropy drive of free energy ("intrinsic motion c"); explicit time is the primordial entropy drive of bound energy ("intrinsic motion T"). Time is the common factor between c and G. The magnitude of G is determined by the energetic difference between implicit and explicit time, the energy required to create asymmetric explicit time from symmetric implicit time (in other words, G represents the energy required to create the entropy drive of matter from the entropy drive of light). (See: "The Conversion of Space to Time", and "Gravity Diagram No. 2".)

The negative gravitational energy of matter is borrowed from the expansion of space (that is, borrowed from the positive spatial entropy of light), consequently decelerating the Cosmos. The negative gravitational energy of matter exactly equals the positive rest mass energy of matter, enabling the creation of bound energy from zero net energy during the process of symmetry-breaking in the Big Bang. Even so, matter is created with symmetry debts conserved as charges (Noether's Theorem). Gravitation "pays the interest" on these symmetry debts by converting space to the time dimension in which they must be conserved and paid. In the temporal dimension, charge conservation has a significance (for Information and Causality) which goes beyond the immediate annihilations of particle-antiparticle pairs; in this, the role of the alternative charge carriers (electrons, neutrinos, mesons) is crucial. (See: "The Origin of Matter and Information".)

1a) Gravity:

2) Time: the intrinsic motion of bound energy's time dimension (which causes the expansion of history) is derived from the intrinsic motion of free energy (which causes the expansion of space) - the entropy drive of matter is derived from the entropy drive of light (which causes the gravitational deceleration of the spatial expansion of the Cosmos). Similarly, the raw energy content of matter is derived from the raw energy content of light (hv = mcc), and the charges, spin, inertial and gravitational state of matter represent conserved debts of light's symmetric energy state (Noether's Theorem). Both light and matter are wholly entropic forms of energy, but the dimensional entropy drive and conservation domain of matter (the intrinsic motion of time, history) is at "right angles" to matter's spatial dimensions, whereas light's entropy drive and conservation domain (the intrinsic motion of light, space) is parallel to (the same as) light's spatial dimensions. (See: "The Time Train", and: "The Half-life of Proton Decay and the 'Heat Death' of the Universe".)

Matter is distinct from its entropy domain (history, historic spacetime - the conservation domain of information and matter's "causal matrix") whereas light is identified with its entropy domain (space - the conservation domain of free energy and light's regulatory metric). Gravitation is a complex dimensional symmetry debt or energy penalty (involving Entropy, Symmetry, and Causality) which matter pays for this separation from its entropy domain. Gravitation creates matter's separate time dimension via the annihilation of space and the extraction of a metrically equivalent temporal residue. The separate time dimension created by gravity is necessary to allow matter to move in time as fast as light moves in space, in other words, the entropy drives of matter and light are metrically equivalent, and metrically equilibrated by the gravitational extraction/conversion of time from space (or the reverse - as in the gravitational conversion of mass/time to light/space in stars, quasars, Hawking's "quantum radiance" of black holes, etc.). Matter cannot move in space as fast as light, but it can do so in metrically equivalent time, which is the conservation rationale for the gravitational conversion of space to time. Matter's symmetry debts are quantized as charges which are payable (via matter-antimatter annihilation) in undiminished magnitude at some future position in the temporal dimension. The Cosmos is a "buy-now pay-later" charge-conserved entropy domain in which gravity pays the interest on the symmetry/entropy debt of matter, accommodating both free and bound forms of electromagnetic energy. (See: "Entropy, Gravitation, and Thermodynamics".)

The Motions of Time and Space

Readers may suppose that the intrinsic motion of space, time, and spacetime referred to in these pages is simply metaphorical or a mathematical formalism rather than literal motion, but these are actual motions, usually in the sense or form of expansions or contractions of spacetime. Below I list examples of (or evidence for) these metrical or spacetime motions (which usually serve some type of entropy function) that are either familiar or a commonplace of physics.

1) Einstein's "Equivalence Principle": the physical acceleration of an observer is indistinguishable from the action of a gravitational field.

2) Inflation; the inflationary expansion of spacetime during the Big Bang.

3) The cosmic expansion of spacetime (the "Hubble flow" - cosmological red shift) - including the acceleration and deceleration of the cosmic expansion by gravitation and "dark energy"(?).

4) Entropy - the intrinsic motions of time, light, and gravitation (c, T, G), and the creation of dimensionality (space, history, historic spacetime); the "infinite velocities" of time and light (and of gravity or spacetime in black holes).

5) Causality - time; the one-way march of time and the temporal ordering and linkage of material events ("karma"); the expansion of history and historic spacetime.

6) Gravity and the effects of General Relativity - the warpage or "curvature" of spacetime by gravitational acceleration. The gravitational bending of light rays. All things (including light) fall with the same velocity in a gravitational field due to the uniform accelerated flow of spacetime.

7) Black holes - spacetime moves at velocity c, time stands still in the "event horizon", where g = c.

8) "Frame dragging" by rotating black holes.

9) Gravity waves.
