the missing science, the theory of everything, and the arrow of time


Introducing First Science

First Science is the most general of sciences (see why).  It underlies all the sciences.  First Science is an empirical, logical, universal science.  To overcome the limitations of mathematical physics, First Science is not mathematical:

First Science provides the link between mathematical physics and metaphysics.  Many empirical, non-mathematical, universal principles fall within the domain of First Science.  For example:

  • The laws of nature remain unchanged with respect to all spatial translation (conservation of momentum);

  • The laws of nature remain unchanged with respect to all spatial rotation (conservation of angular momentum);

  • The laws of nature remain unchanged with respect to all temporal translation (conservation of energy);

  • The laws of nature remain unchanged with respect to all spacetime (constant velocity) translation (conservation of energy-momentum);

  • The laws of nature remain locally unchanged with respect to either a gravitating or an accelerating frame of reference (equivalence principle);

  • The laws of nature remain unchanged with respect to arbitrary changes of spacetime coordinates (principle of general covariance);

  • The laws of nature have three unchanging universal constants: the speed of light in a vacuum, c; Planck’s constant, h, and Newton’s gravitational constant, G.

Underlying these principles is the unifying principle: "laws of nature exist."  The unifying principle forms the cornerstone of First Science.  From this principle, it is possible to logically-empirically deduce features of the Theory of Everything and the Master Arrow of Time.
