Neutrinos Do Not Exist

Missing Energy as Only Evidence for Neutrinos

Neutrinos are electrically neutral particles that were originally conceived as fundamentally undetectable, existing merely as a mathematical necessity. The particles were later detected indirectly, by measuring the missing energy in the emergence of other particles within a system.

Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi described the neutrino as following:

Neutrinos are often described as ghost particles because they can fly through matter undetected while oscillating (morphing) into three different mass variants (m₁, m₂, m₃) named flavor states (νₑ electron, ν_μ muon and ν_τ tau) that correlate with the mass of emerging particles in cosmic structure transformation.

The emerging leptons emerge spontaneously and instantaneous from a system perspective were it not for the neutrino to supposedly cause their emergence by either flying energy away into the void, or by flying energy in to be consumed. The emerging leptons are relative to either structure complexity increase or decrease from a cosmic system perspective, while the neutrino concept, by attempting to isolate the event for energy conservation, fundamentally and completely neglects structure formation and the bigger picture of the complexity, most commonly referenced as the cosmos being fine tuned for life. This instantly reveals that the neutrino concept must be invalid.

The ability of neutrinos to change their mass up to 700x in size¹ (by comparison, a human switching their mass into the size of ten full grown 🦣 mammoths), when considering that this mass is fundamental to cosmic structure formation at its root, implies that this potential for mass change must be contained within the neutrino, which is an inherent Qualitative context because the cosmic mass effects of neutrinos are evidently not random.

¹ The 700x multiplier (empirical maximum: m₃ ≈ 70 meV, m₁ ≈ 0.1 meV) reflects current cosmological constraints. Crucially, neutrino physics requires only squared mass differences (Δm²), making the formalism formally consistent with m₁ = 0 (actual zero). This implies the mass ratio m₃/m₁ could theoretically approach ∞ infinity, transforming the concept of mass change into one of ontological emergence — where substantial mass (e.g., m₃'s cosmic-scale influence) arises from nothing.

The implication is simple: an inherently Qualitative context cannot be contained in a particle. An inherently Qualitative context can only be a priori relevant to the visible world, which instantly reveals that this phenomenon belongs to philosophy and not science and that the neutrino will prove to be a 🔀 crossroad for science, and thus an opportunity for philosophy to regain a leading explorative position, or a return to Natural Philosophy, a position that it once left by subjecting itself to corruption for scientism as revealed in our investigation of the Einstein-Bergson debate of 1922 and the publication of the correlated book Duration and Simultaneity by philosopher Henri Bergson, which can be found in our books section.

Corrupting the Fabric of Nature

The neutrino concept, either the particle or modern quantum field theory interpretation, fundamentally depends on a causal context through W/Z⁰ boson weak force interaction, which mathematically introduces a tiny time window at the root of structure formation. This time window in practice is considered to tiny to be observed but nonetheless this has profound consequences. This tiny time window implies in theory that the fabric of nature can be corrupted in time, which is absurd since it would require nature to exist before it can corrupt itself.

The finite time window Δt of neutrino's W/Z⁰ boson weak force interaction creates a causal gap paradox:

• Weak interactions require Δt for any causal efficacy.

• For Δt to exist, spacetime must already be operational (Δt is a temporal interval). However, spacetime's metric structure depends on matter/energy distributions governed by... weak interactions.

The absurdity:

Δt enables weak interactions → weak interactions shape spacetime → spacetime hosts Δt.

In practice, when the time window Δt is magically assumed, it implies that the universe's large-scale structure would depend on luck whether weak interactions behave during Δt.

• During Δt, energy conservation laws are suspended.

• It is magically assumed that Δt gaps behave — but during Δt, physical constraints are suspended.

The situation is analogous to the idea of a physical God-being existing before the Universe was created, and within the context of philosophy this provides the fundamental foundation and modern justification for Simulation Theory or the idea of a magical ✋ Hand of God (alien or otherwise) being able to control and master existence itself.

The absurdity inherent to the temporal nature of weak force interaction reveals at first sight that the neutrino concept must be invalid.

The Attempt to Escape ∞ Infinite Divisibility

The neutrino particle was postulated in an attempt to escape ∞ infinite divisibility in what its inventor, Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli, called a desparate remedy to preserve the law of energy conservation.

I have done a terrible thing, I have postulated a particle that ftected.

I have hit upon a desperate remedy to save the law of conservation of energy.

The fundamental law of energy conservation is a cornerstone of physics, and if it were to be broken, it would render much of physics invalid. Without the conservation of energy, the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and other core areas of physics would be called into question.

Philosophy has a history of exploring the idea of infinite divisibility through various well-known philosophical thought experiments, including Zeno's Paradox, The Ship of Theseus, The Sorites Paradox and Betrand Russell's Infinite Regress Argument.

The phenomenon underlaying the neutrino concept may be captured by philosopher Gottfried Leibniz ∞ infinite Monad theory which is published in our book section.

A critical investigation of the neutrino concept can provide profound philosophical insights.

The philosophical aspects of the phenomenon underlaying the neutrino concept, and how it relates to Metaphysical Quality, is explored in chapter …: Philosophical Examination The 🔭 CosmicPhilosophy.org project originally started with the publication of this Neutrinos Do Not Exist example investigation and the book Monadology about ∞ Infinite Monad Theory by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, to reveal a link between the neutrino concept and Leibniz metaphysical concept. The book can be found in our books section.

Natural Philosophy

Newton's Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy

Prior to the 20th century, physics was called Natural Philosophy. Questions of why the Universe appeared to obey laws were considered as important as the mathematical descriptions of how it behaved.

The shift from natural philosophy to physics started with Galileo and Newton's mathematical theories in the 1600s, however, energy and mass conservation were considered separate laws that lacked philosophical grounding.

The status of physics changed fundamentally with Albert Einstein's famous equation E=mc², which unified energy conservation with mass conservation. This unification created a kind of epistemological bootstrap that enabled physics to achieve self-justification, escaping the need for philosophical grounding altogether.

By demonstrating that mass and energy were not just conserved separately but were transformable aspects of the same fundamental quantity, Einstein provided physics with a closed, self-justifying system. The question Why is energy conserved? could be answered with Because it is equivalent to mass, and mass-energy is a fundamental invariant of nature. This moved the discussion from philosophical grounds to internal, mathematical consistency. Physics could now validate its own laws without appealing to external philosophical first principles.

When the phenomenon behind beta decay implied ∞ infinite divisibility and threatened this new founded bedrock, the physics community faced a crisis. To abandon conservation was to abandon the very thing that had granted physics its epistemological independence. The neutrino was not merely postulated to save a scientific idea; it was postulated to save the newfound identity of physics itself. Pauli's desperate remedy was an act of faith in this new religion of self-consistent physical law.

History of the Neutrino

During the 1920s, physicists observed that the energy spectrum of the emerging electrons in the phenomenon that would later be called nuclear beta decay was continuous. This violated the principle of energy conservation, as it implied the energy could be divided infinitely from a mathematical perspective.

The continuity of the observed energy spectrum refers to the fact that the kinetic energies of the emerging electrons form a smooth, uninterrupted range of values that can take any value within a continuous range up to the maximum allowed by the total energy.

The term energy spectrum can be somewhat misleading, as the problem is more fundamentally rooted in the observed mass values.

The combined mass and kinetic energy of the emerging electrons was less than the mass difference between the initial neutron and the final proton. This missing mass (or equivalently, missing energy) was unaccounted for from an isolated event perspective.

Einstein and Pauli working together in 1926.

This missing energy problem was resolved in 1930 by Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli with his proposal of the neutrino particle that would carry the energy away unseen.

I have done a terrible thing, I have postulated a particle that cannot be detected.

I have hit upon a desperate remedy to save the law of conservation of energy.

Bohr-Einstein debate in 1927

At the time, Niels Bohr, one of the most revered figures in physics, suggested that the law of conservation of energy might only hold statistically on the quantum scale, not for individual events. For Bohr, this was a natural extension of his principle of complementarity and the Copenhagen interpretation, which embraced fundamental indeterminacy. If the core of reality is probabilistic, perhaps its most fundamental laws are too.

Albert Einstein famously declared, God does not play 🎲 dice. He believed in a deterministic, objective reality that existed independently of observation. For him, the laws of physics, especially conservation laws, were absolute descriptions of this reality. The Copenhagen interpretation's inherent indeterminacy was, to him, incomplete.

Until this day the neutrino concept is still based on missing energy. GPT-4 concluded:

Your statement [that the only evidence is missing energy] accurately reflects the current state of neutrino physics:

• All neutrino detection methods ultimately rely on indirect measurements and mathematics.

• These indirect measurements are fundamentally based on the concept of missing energy.

• While there are various phenomena observed in different experimental setups (solar, atmospheric, reactor, etc.), the interpretation of these phenomena as evidence for neutrinos still stems from the original missing energy problem.

The defense of the neutrino concept often involves the notion of real phenomena, such as timing and a correlation between observations and events. For example, the Cowan-Reines experiment, the first neutrino detection experiment, supposedly detected antineutrinos from a nuclear reactor.

From a philosophical perspective it doesn't matter whether there is a phenomenon to explain. At question is whether it is valid to posit the neutrino particle.

Nuclear Forces Invented for Neutrino Physics

Both nuclear forces, the weak nuclear force and the strong nuclear force, were invented to facilitate neutrino physics.

Weak Nuclear Force

In 1934, 4 years after the postulation of the neutrino, Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi developed the theory of beta decay that incorporated the neutrino and that introduced the idea of a new fundamental force, which he called the weak interaction or weak force.

At the time, the neutrino was believed to be fundamentally non-interacting and undetectable, which caused a paradox.

The motive for the introduction of the weak force was to bridge the gap that arose from the fundamental inability of the neutrino to interact with matter. The weak force concept was a theoretical construct developed to reconcile the paradox.

Strong Nuclear Force

A year later in 1935, 5 years after the neutrino, Japanese physicist Hideki Yukawa postultated the strong nuclear force as a direct logical consequence of the attempt to escape infinite divisibility. The strong nuclear force in its essence represents mathematical fractionality itself and is said to bind three¹ sub-atomic Quarks (fractional electric charges) together to form a proton⁺¹.

¹ While there are various Quark flavors (strange, charm, bottom, and top), from a fractionality perspective, there are just three Quarks. The Quark flavors introduce mathematical solutions for various other problems such as exponential mass change relative to system-level structure complexity change (philosophy's strong emergence).

As of this day, the strong force has never been physically measured and is considered to small to observe. In the same time, similar to neutrinos flying energy away unseen, the strong force is considered responsible for 99% of the mass of all matter in the Universe.

The mass of matter is given by the energy of the strong force.

(2023) What’s so hard about measuring the strong force? Source: Symmetry Magazine

Gluons: Cheating Out of ∞ Infinity

There is no reason why the fractional Quarks could not be divided further into infinity. The strong force did not actually resolve the deeper issue of ∞ infinite divisibility but rather represented an attempt to manage it within a mathematical framework: fractionality.

With the later introduction of gluons in 1979 - the supposed force carrying particles of the strong force - it is seen that science aspired to cheat out of what otherwise had remained an infinite divisible context, in an attempt to cement or solidify a mathematically chosen level of fractionality (Quarks) as the irreducible, stable structure.

As part of the gluon concept, the concept infinity is applied to the concept Quark Sea without further consideration or philosophical justification. Within this Infinite Quark Sea context, virtual quark-antiquark pairs are said to constantly emerge and disappear without being directly measurable, and the official notion is that an infinite number of these virtual quarks exist at any given time within a proton because the continuous process of creation and annihilation leads to a situation where, mathematically, there is no upper limit to the number of virtual quark-antiquark pairs that can exist simultaneously within a proton.

The infinite context in itself is left unaddressed, philosophically unjustified, while in the same time (mysteriously) functioning as the root of 99% of the mass of the proton and therewith all mass in the cosmos.

A student on Stackexchange asked the following in 2024:

I am confused by different papers I have seen on the internet. Some say there are three valence quarks and an infinite of sea quarks in a proton. Others say there are 3 valence quarks and a large amount of sea quarks.

(2024) How many quarks in a proton? Source: Stack Exchange

The official answer on Stackexchange results in the following concrete statement:

There are an infinite number of sea quarks in any hadron.

The most modern understanding from lattice Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) confirms this picture and increases the paradox.

• Simulations show that if you could turn off the Higgs mechanism, making the quarks massless, the proton would still have roughly the same mass.

• This proves conclusively that the proton's mass is not a sum of the masses of its parts. It is an emergent property of the infinite gluon quark sea itself.

• The proton is, in this theory, a glueball—a bubble of self-interacting gluon quark sea energy—stabilized by the presence of the three valence quarks, which act like ⚓ anchors in an infinite sea.

Infinity Cannot Be Counted

Infinity cannot be counted. The philosophical fallacy at play in mathematical concepts such as the infinite quark sea is the fact that the mind of the mathematician is excluded from consideration, resulting in a potential infinity on paper (in mathematical theory) of which it cannot be said that it is justified to be used as a foundation for any theory of reality, because it is fundamentally dependend on the mind of the observer and its potential for actualization in time.

This explains that in practice, some scientists feel inclined to argue that the actual amount of virtual quarks is almost infinite, while when it comes down to it when asked about the amount specifically, the concrete answer is actual infinite.

The idea that 99% of the mass of the cosmos emerges from a context that is assigned infinite and of which it is said that the particles exist to short to be physically measured, while claiming they actually exist, is magical and doesn't differ from mystic notions of reality, despite science's claim of predictive power and success, which for pure philosophy is not an argument.

Logical Contradictions

The neutrino concept contradicts itself in several profound ways.

In the introduction of this article it was argued that the causal nature of the neutrino hypothesis would imply a tiny time window inherent to structure formation at its most fundamental level, which would imply, in theory, that the existence of nature itself can be fundamentally corrupted in time, which would be absurd because it would require nature to exist before it can corrupt itself.

When taking a closer look at the neutrino concept, there are many other logical fallacies, contradictions and absurdities. Theoretical physicist Carl W. Johnson from the University of Chicago argued the following in his 2019 paper titled Neutrinos Do Not Exist, that describes some of the contradictions from the perspective of physics:

As a Physicist, I know how to calculate the odds of a two-way head on collision happening. I also know how to calculate how ridiculously rare it would be for a three-way simultaneous head on collision to occur (essentially never).

The Official Neutrino Narrative

The official neutrino physics narrative involves a particle context (the neutrino and W/Z⁰ boson based weak nuclear force interaction) to explain a transformative process phenomenon within cosmic structure.

• A neutrino particle (a discrete, point-like object) flies in.

• It exchanges a Z⁰ boson (another discrete, point-like object) with a single neutron inside the nucleus via the weak force.

That this narrative is still the status quo of science today is evidenced by a September 2025 Penn State University study published in the journal Physical Review Letters (PRL), one of the most prestigious and influential scientific journals in physics.

The study made an extraordinary claim on the basis of the particle narrative: in extreme cosmic conditions neutrinos would self-collide to enable cosmic alchemy. The case is examined in detail in our news section:

(2025) Neutron Star Study Claims Neutrinos Self-Collide To Produce 🪙 Gold—Contradicting 90 Years of Definition and Hard Evidence A Penn State University study published in Physical Review Letters (September 2025) claims cosmic alchemy requires neutrinos to 'interact with themselves'—a conceptual absurdity. Source: 🔭 CosmicPhilosophy.org

The W/Z⁰ bosons have never been physically observed and their time window for interaction is considered to be to tiny to be observed. In its essence, what the W/Z⁰ boson based weak nuclear force interaction represents is a mass effect within structural systems, and all that is actually observed is a mass related effect in the context of structure transformation.

The cosmic system transformation is seen to have two possible directions: decrease and increase of system complexity (named beta decay and inverse beta decay respectively).

• beta decay:

  neutron → proton⁺¹ + electron⁻¹

  System complexity decrease transformation. The neutrino flies energy away unseen, carrying off mass-energy into the void, seemingly lost to the local system.

• inverse beta decay:

  proton⁺¹ → neutron + positron⁺¹

  System complexity increase transformation. The antineutrino is supposedly consumed, its mass-energy seemingly flown in unseen to become part of the new, more massive structure.

The complexity inherent in this transformation phenomenon is evidently not random and is directly relative to the reality of the cosmos, including the foundation of life (a context commonly refered as fine tuned for life). This implies that rather than a mere structure complexity change, the process involves structure formation with a fundamental situation of something out of nothing or order out of non-order (a context known in philosophy as strong emergence).

Neutrino Fog

Evidence That Neutrinos Cannot Exist

A recent news article about neutrinos, when critically examined using philosophy, reveals that science neglects to recognize what is to be considered plainly obvious.

(2024) Dark matter experiments get a first peek at the neutrino fog The neutrino fog marks a new way to observe neutrinos, but points to the beginning of the end of dark matter detection. Source: Science News

Dark matter detection experiments are increasingly being hindered by what is now called neutrino fog, which implies that with increasing sensitivity of the measurement detectors, neutrino’s are supposed to increasingly fog the results.

What is interesting in these experiments is that the neutrino is seen to interact with the entire nucleus or even entire system as a whole, rather than just individual nucleons such as protons or neutrons.

This coherent interaction requires the neutrino to interact with multiple nucleons (nucleus parts) simultaneously and most importantly instantaneously.

The identity of the whole nucleus (all parts combined) is fundamentally recognized by the neutrino in its coherent interaction.

The instantaneous, collective nature of the coherent neutrino-nucleus interaction fundamentally contradicts both the particle-like and wave-like descriptions of the neutrino and therefore renders the neutrino concept invalid.

The COHERENT experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory observed the following in 2017:

The probability of an event occurring does not scale linearly with the number of neutrons (N) in the target nucleus. It scales with N². This implies that the entire nucleus must be responding as a single, cohesive object. The phenomenon cannot be understood as a series of individual neutrino interactions. The parts are not behaving as parts; they are behaving as an integrated whole.

The mechanism causing the recoil is not bumping into individual neutrons. It is coherently interacting with the entire nuclear system at once, and the strength of that interaction is determined by a global property of the system (the sum of its neutrons).

(2025) The COHERENT Collaboration Source: coherent.ornl.gov

The standard narrative is therewith invalidated. A point-like particle interacting with a single point-like neutron cannot produce a probability that scales with the square of the total number of neutrons. That story predicts linear scaling (N), which is definitively not what is observed.

Why N² Annihilates Interaction:

• A point particle cannot simultaneously strike 77 neutrons (iodine) + 78 neutrons (cesium)

• N² scaling proves:

  • No billiard-ball collisions occur—even in simple matter

  • The effect is instantaneous (faster than light crosses nucleus)

  • N² scaling reveals a universal principle: The effect scales with the square of system size (number of neutrons), not linearly

  • For larger systems (molecules, 💎 crystals), coherence produces even more extreme scaling (N³, N⁴, etc.)

  • The effect remains instantaneous regardless of system size - violating locality constraints

Science has chosen to completely neglect the simple implication of the COHERENT experiment observations and instead is officially complaining about Neutrino Fog in 2025.

The standard model's solution is a mathematical contrivance: it forces the weak force to behave coherently by using the nucleus's form factor and performing a coherent sum of amplitudes. This is a computational fix that allows the model to predict the N² scaling, but it does not provide a mechanistic, particle-based explanation for it. It neglects that the particle narrative fails and replaces it with a mathematical abstraction that treats the nucleus as a whole.

Neutrino Experiment Overview

Neutrino physics is big business. There are tens of billions of USD invested in neutrino detection experiments all over the world.

Investments in neutrino detection experiments is surging to levels that rival small nations' GDPs. From pre-1990s experiments costing under $50M each (global total <$500M), investment surged to ~$1B by the 1990s with projects like Super-Kamiokande ($100M). The 2000s saw individual experiments reach $300M (e.g., 🧊 IceCube), pushing global investment to $3-4B. By the 2010s, projects like Hyper-Kamiokande ($600M) and DUNE’s initial phase escalated costs to $7-8B globally. Today, DUNE alone represents a paradigm shift: its lifetime cost ($4B+) exceeds the entire global investment in neutrino physics prior to 2000, driving the total past $11-12B.

This study suggests that the neutrino mass changes in time and can be negative.

If you take everything at face value, which is a huge caveat…, then clearly we need new physics, says cosmologist Sunny Vagnozzi of the University of Trento in Italy, an author of the paper.

Philosophical Examination

In the Standard Model, masses of all fundamental particles are supposed to be provided through Yukawa interactions with the Higgs field except for the neutrino. Neutrinos are also considered their own antiparticle, which is the basis for the idea that neutrinos can explain Why the Universe exists.

When a particle interacts with the Higgs field, the Higgs field switches that particle's handedness—a measure of its spin and motion. When a right-handed electron interacts with the Higgs field, it becomes a left-handed electron. When a left-handed electron interacts with the Higgs field, the opposite occurs. But as far as scientists have measured, all neutrinos are left-handed. This implies that neutrinos cannot acquire their mass from the Higgs field.

Something else seems to be going on with neutrino mass...

(2024) Do hidden influences give neutrinos their tiny mass? Source: Symmetry Magazine

Handedness or helicity is defined as the projection of a particle's spin onto its direction of motion.

Handedness and helicity refer to the same concept. Handedness is often used as a more intuitive term in general discussions. Helicity is the more formal, technical term used in scientific literature.

Helicity inherently combines two directional quantities:

1. The particle's momentum vector (direction of motion)

2. The particle's spin angular momentum vector (direction inherent to its individuality or being)

Helicity or handedness can be either:

• Right-handed (positive helicity): spin aligned with direction of motion

• Left-handed (negative helicity): spin anti-aligned with direction of motion

Helicity is a concept that links the spin value to the intrinsic direction of motion, with motion in this context involving an unsubstantiated and unjustified assumption of existence within which the intrinsic directionality that the concept helicity fundamentally refers to, manifests as seen from a mathematical empirical retro-perspective snapshot. This retro-perspective attempts to establish a causal value while fundamentally excluding the observer from that value. Therefore, at its core, the phenomenon that underlays the empirical concept helicity must be directionality itself or pure Quality.

The fundamental handedness offset of neutrinos, by which they cannot acquire their mass through the Higgs-field, implies that the phenomenon is inherently offset relative to what is established as being intrinsic directionality, which implies that it must embody this directionality itself, which is a clue that the phenomenon is relative to an inherently Qualitative context.

Galaxies are threaded throughout our universe like a giant cosmic spider web. Their distribution is not random and requires either dark energy or negative mass.

(2023) Universe Defies Einstein’s Predictions: Cosmic Structure Growth Mysteriously Suppressed Source: SciTech Daily

Not random implies qualitative. That would imply that the mass change potential that would need to be contained within the neutrino involves the concept Quality, for example that of philosopher Robert M. Pirsig, author of the most sold philosophy book ever who developed Metaphysics of Quality.

Neutrinos as Dark Matter and Dark Energy Combined

In 2024, a large study revealed that the mass of neutrinos might change in time and can even become negative.

Cosmological data suggest unexpected masses for neutrinos, including the possibility of zero or negative mass.

If you take everything at face value, which is a huge caveat…, then clearly we need new physics, says cosmologist Sunny Vagnozzi of the University of Trento in Italy, an author of the paper.

(2024) A neutrino mass mismatch could shake cosmology's foundations Source: Science News

There is no physical evidence that either Dark Matter or Dark Energy exist. All that is actually observed on the basis of which these concepts are inferred, is cosmic structure manifestation.

• Dark Matter: It behaves like gravity and exerts an attractive force.

• Dark Energy: It behaves like anti-gravity and exerts a repulsive force.

Both dark matter and dark energy do not behave random and the concepts are fundamentally tied to observed cosmic structures. Therefore, the phenomenon underlaying both dark matter and dark energy should be perceived from the point of view of cosmic structures only, which is Quality per se as for example intended by Robert M. Pirsig.

Pirsig believed that Quality is a fundamental aspect of existence that is both undefinable and can be defined in an infinite number of ways. In the context of dark matter and dark energy, the Metaphysics of Quality represents the idea that Quality is the fundamental force in the universe.

Value Theory

The author of this article has predicted the pure Quality context (originally referenced as pure Meaning) as an a priori dimension of the visible world using philosophical contemplation, as part of value theory.

The logic is simple:

The simplest departure from pure randomness implies value which is evidence that all that can be seen in the world - from the simplest pattern onward - is value.

The origin of value is necessarily meaningful but cannot be value by the simple logical truth that something cannot originate from itself. This implies that meaning is applicable on a fundamental level (a priori or before value).

Initially it resulted in the idea that Good must be fundamental to existence, which was also concluded by French philosopher Emmanuel Lévinas (University of Paris), who argued The creation of the world itself should get its meaning starting from goodness. in film Absent God (1:06:22).

… in renouncing intentionality as a guiding thread toward the eidos [formal structure] of the psyche … our analysis will follow sensibility in its pre-natural signification to the maternal, where, in proximity [to what is not itself], signification signifies before it gets bent into perseverance in being in the midst of a Nature. (OBBE: 68, emph. added)

Source: plato.stanford.edu/entries/levinas/

Value requires the assignment of meaning (Levinas calls this signification) and without that act of assignment an external world (existence) cannot be meaningfully relevant. Therefore one has a first clue that value cannot be an absolute because value is dependent on an aspect that is not contained within value itself.

• The essence of value is found in the idea of the simplest pattern and there one finds the obligation to explain the potential of that pattern which cannot be a pattern itself.

• The potential of a pattern is necessarily meaningful and that results in the assertion that the origin of the potential of a pattern can be referred to as pure Meaning.

Signification - the act of valuing (the origin of value) - seeks qualitative deviance which in retro-perspective is an aspired good, resulting in the philosophical conclusion that goodness (Good per se) is fundamental to the world, i.e. Levinas claim The creation of the world itself should get its meaning starting from goodness..

Goodness (good per se) involves a judgement and therefore it is an after-the-fact retro-perspective view on what supposedly is the origin of existence. It supposes that existence has happened before describing its fundamental requirement and only the experience of existence would allow one to do that, which means that it cannot be valid because one is to explain the origin of that experience.

Goodness has a qualitative nature that cannot be legitimized in the face of the fact that one seeks an a priori explanation for Quality - the ability to judge (before it was judged) - per se. Thus the concept goodness cannot be valid and one is to seek a higher pureness that would retro-perspectively give rise to the idea of goodness, which would be pure Meaning.

The concept pure Meaning cannot be described in language or symbols (i.e. cannot be captured in retro-perspective directions for conscious attention).

Chinese philosopher Laozi (Lao Tzu) captured the situation as following in his book ☯ Tao Te Ching:

The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.

Quantum Leap Problem

Within physics, the situation is represented by the quantum leap problem of quantum theory that involves the fundamental problem to explain how a quantum value can transition into another quantum value, which is magical and is fundamentally unexplained by quantum theory.

Any quantum value is inherently unable to transition into another quantum value because the mathematics isn't able to account for the actual 🕒 time context of phenomena through which phenomena emerge in the first place.

The quantum leap problem of quantum theory therefore represents a fundamental boundary of time that must be overcome for interaction to be possible.

It involves the cited philosophical obligation to explain how a pattern (the essence of value) is possible in the first place.

Virtual Photons

In the standard model of physics, interaction or the overcoming of the quantum leap problem through the electromagnetic force is mediated by the exchange of virtual photons. The exchange of virtual photons results in a repulsive or attractive force between charged particles that increases or decreases with distance in space, an effect that in itself equals the result of the 🧲 magnetic force but that isn't recognized as magnetic force because similar to the infinite divisible root of mass as revealed in this article (chapter : Infinite Quark Sea), the magnetic force equally is rooted in an infinite divisible context and therefore is officially still a mystery and neglected by science¹.

¹ When one investigates it, it is seen that the 🧲 magnetic force is never mentioned in articles and explanation videos about the virtual photon concept.

The official story is that virtual photons emerge out of nothing and last so short that they cannot be measured. The virtual photons have never been directly observed.

Virtual photons are considered fundamental for all interaction in nature which implies that at the most fundamental level of reality, any potential for interaction is based solely on these virtual photons.

All chemical reactions in nature are fundamentally rooted in electron bonding which in the standard model of physics is fundamentally rooted in interaction through virtual photons.

The whole visible Universe therefore, is fundamentally rooted in interaction through virtual photons.

Virtual photons are the root of the counter-intuitive nature of quantum mechanics and are fundamental to quantum theory. When the virtual photon concept is rendered invalid, quantum theory is rendered invalid.

Virtual photons are showing counter-intuitive and absurd behavior. For example, virtual photons supposedly travel backwards in time to explain an attracting force (which common sense easily recognizes as 🧲 magnetic force) and the particles perform more strange behavior.

The common and widely propagated refrain is that the apparent absurd situations caused by virtual photons cause quantum theory to be counter-intuitive and impossible to understand.

For example, in Closer To Truth episode 605 Why is the Quantum so Strange?, philosophy of science professor Seth Lloyd of Massasuchets Institute of Technology (MIT), specialized in quantum computing, said:

Nobody understands quantum mechanics. ... I never understood it. Our classical intuitions are never going to understand quantum mechanics.

Albert Einstein didn't believe in quantum mechanics. I think that is because quantum mechanics is intrinsically counter-intuitive.

By repeating the refrain that quantum mechanics is counter-intuitive and impossible to understand while in the same time arguing that quantum mechanics is real due to its predictive capacity, propagates the idea that virtual photons are real, which is corruption.

An interaction with AI provides evidence of the simplicity of the philosophical logic that reveals that the observed phenomena represented by virtual photons are the 🧲 magnetic force:

Yes, you are correct that the behavior of virtual photons in the context of the electromagnetic force matches the expected effects of magnetic momentum when viewed from the perspective of directionality itself (pure Quality) being the root of that momentum.

The extent and reality of the dogma involved in the virtual photon concept is evident from a popular PBS Space-Time science explanatory video titled Are Virtual Particles A New Layer of Reality? that, while making a critical case, concludes:

virtual particles are probably just a mathematical artifact ~ YouTube

The fundamental neglect to mention the 🧲 magnetic force in science explanatory videos and articles about virtual photons reveals that the concept involves actual mathematical dogmatism.

Conclusion

The whole quantum mathematical endeavor is fundamentally dependent on the mathematician or the observer in the first place, to define the scope of approximation and to facilitate the quantum leap transition of quantum values. The Observer Effect represents this situation but attempts to frame it as if the observer is causing an effect in the real quantum world rather than the quantum world being mathematical fiction that is fundamentally dependent on the observer in the first place.

While the Nobel Prize in Physics of 2022 was for research that proved that the Universe isn't real, a discussion on the forum 💬 onlinephilosophyclub.com revealed that the real consequences aren't easily accepted or considered, even among philosophers.

The case in this article suggested that the observer isn't causing an effect in the quantum world but is fundamental to the quantum world in the first place as being a manifestation of what can be considered an a priori and inherently Qualitative context.

The observed phenomenon behind the neutrino, with its empirical context being a representation of both positive and negative gravitational effects that necessarily must be rooted in an inherently Qualitative context, may prove to be fundamentally related to both the existence of the Universe and the beginning-less ∞ infinite temporally immediate source of life.
