The universe was created so that a person could watch TV and use the Internet.

With the advent of computers, which double in power every few years, simulation capabilities have been created that have never existed before. As one of the fundamental problems, it was shown that if the world constants were even slightly different (different from the current values, say, by one millionth), the Universe that we observe could not exist. And it is absolutely certain that man could not exist. For the elementary reason that there would be no substance from which it could arise.

Other constants

After this was convincingly shown by computer simulations, a natural question arose: why are the world constants the way they are, and not others? The answer given by physicists and philosophers is logical and witty. “We live in a world with such and no other world constants, because we exist”, “There is a great many universes with very different values ​​of world constants (gravitational constant, Planck's constant, speed of light in vacuum, elementary charge, Boltzmann's constant... ). However, we exist in this Universe, and not in some other, not because there are no universes with other world constants, but because homo sapiens could not exist in other universes ”... Descartes’ aphorism “I think, therefore I exist » in relation to the problem of world constants can be reformulated as follows:

There are two explanations for explaining that there is such and only such a set of world constants in the Universe. First, there are a great many universes. But we live in this Universe because we simply could not have arisen in others! Second: the Universe was created as a result of Divine Creation, with these laws of nature and with these world constants. In the second case, the assumption of multiple universes (multiverse theory) is not required. However, simultaneously with this rejection of multiverse theory and the materialistic idea of ​​the origin of the world comes to an end!

The theory of multiple universes does not have any experimental evidence of its fidelity. The only - but convincing - proof is that there is no other materialistic justification for the emergence of the world, after it has been shown that with other world constants the Universe could not exist, does not exist.

Having realized what has been said, let us turn to the theory of multiple universes, including in consideration not only a set of world constants, but also equations describing fundamental physical fields. In particular, the electromagnetic field equations that Maxwell wrote.

Maxwell's approach

The creator of statistical physics Ludwig Boltzmann, having seen the equations of James Clerk Maxwell, being deeply shocked, said: “Isn’t it God, who drew these equations?” Boltzmann only slightly paraphrased Goethe - "War es ein Gott, der diese Zeichen schrieb?" – by replacing signs with equations in Faust's immortal key dictum. But only!

The question posed by the greatest German poet and thinker is like a statement that remains unanswered to this day. And Maxwell himself, dying, barely audible to those around him said: “The equations that bear my name were created by Someone Who is much wiser than me.”

As you can see, the question of why the equations for the propagation of light are such and not others arose immediately after they were written. However, at the time of Maxwell and Boltzmann, and even Einstein and Bohr 100 years later, the theory of multiple universes did not exist. Therefore, the inclusion of Maxwell's equations in consideration to explain - or, conversely, deny - the need for the assumption of the existence of multiple universes comes to the fore.

This option was not considered by supporters of multiverse theory, who are convinced that considering the totality of world constants is enough to prove a different materialistic explanation for the existence of the world and man. Although in reality this is not the case. After all, if, in addition to variations of world constants, we also consider variations of the equations of physical fields, then it turns out that if, with the same world constants, the equations of the electromagnetic field were not only what they are, the Universe would still exist. And this significantly affects the conclusions about the origin and existence of the Universe. Or universes.

We note several properties of the equations of the electromagnetic field from the great set studied at the present time.

Electromagnetic waves propagate in such a way that an electric field generates a magnetic field, and a magnetic field generates an electric field. There is a dualism between the magnetic and electric fields, which is vaguely reminiscent of the quantum-mechanical wave-particle duality.

An electromagnetic wave is a double helix of electric and magnetic fields. It differs from the double helix of DNA in that this helix is ​​not located in three-dimensional space, but at the points of the beam along which the light beam propagates.

Electromagnetic waves penetrate space, penetrating one through the other, in a vacuum without interfering and not scattering on each other.

In a transparent medium (such as air), electromagnetic waves also penetrate the rest, scattering and interfering only slightly. Thanks to this property of electromagnetic waves, humans and other animals with eyes can see each other. And also, for example, sitting at a round table, to see all the forum participants, despite the fact that electromagnetic waves simultaneously pass through the same points in space as if there were no other electromagnetic waves.

Electromagnetic waves retain their basic properties without interfering, passing through each other in a huge range of frequencies. Without this, the use of the Internet and a router for high-speed wireless use of multiple computers would not be possible.

Let's ask ourselves a question similar to the one that arose when modeling the Universe with different values ​​of world constants. But only at the level of equations. Could the universe exist if the equations of the electromagnetic field were "slightly" - or completely - different?

After the Big Bang

The question is not idle, but for the idea of ​​the existence of multiple - or a single - universes is fundamental. If the equations of the electromagnetic field were different, a) could the Universe in its present form have arisen, and b) could man and mind have arisen?

To what extent is this and precisely this form of electrodynamics equations, which exists in reality, is necessary and sufficient for the emergence of the Universe and man - or is it only sufficient, but not necessary?

Today, the existence of the Big Bang at the origin of the Universe (or one of the universes - ours) is not questioned.

Between 10−32 and 10−12 s after the Big Bang, electromagnetic interactions and weak interactions constituted a single electroweak interaction. It generates the Higgs boson, W-boson and Z-boson. What was the role of the electromagnetic field at these moments? Which, on the time scales in which they occurred, were 1020 times longer than the time in which they began - the number of seconds in 100 million years! Thus, contrary to visual representation in human perception, the time of the electroweak interaction was the space age!Weak interactions in the first fraction of a second after the Big Bang are many times stronger than electromagnetic ones. If the electromagnetic field were determined not by Maxwell's equations, but by others, the Universe could most likely arise. But is the last statement, which has an intuitive character, true? The answer to it for the theory of multiple universes is no less important than the result of Michelson's experiment.

Between 10−12 and 10−6 s after the Big Bang, the electromagnetic, gravitational, and weak forces separated into independent fields. After that, until the end of the first second, quarks (which arose during the primary expansion (inflation), which ended in the first 1/1036 s) and gluons began to combine into protons, neutrons and other hadrons.

Energetically, the role of the electromagnetic field (compared to strong and weak interactions) is also small, but its functional role, as well as the possibility of the appearance of hadrons in the event that the equations of the electromagnetic field were different, requires study.

In the interval between 10 seconds and 20 minutes after the Big Bang, as a result of the cooling of matter, the formation of primary stellar matter occurred. It consisted of 25% helium, 1% deuterium (a heavy isotope of hydrogen) and three-quarters hydrogen proper. Did the electromagnetic field play a secondary role in this process, and could atomic nuclei have arisen if Maxwell's equations had been different? The answer to this question is necessary to justify or, conversely, deny the theory of multiple universes.

379,000 years after the Big Bang, matter, having cooled to 3,000 degrees Kelvin, begins to dominate radiation. As a result, in a Universe transparent to photons, light begins to propagate freely.

Between 380,000 years and 550 million years after the Big Bang, the expanding and cooling universe was filled with hydrogen, helium and the atomic hydrogen CMB. Then, under the influence of gravity in the first place, first-generation stars and galaxies (clusters of stars) arise.

After burning out the substance that generated thermonuclear reactions, stars with a mass of more than eight solar masses shrink, turning into black holes or exploding in supernovae, increasing their brightness millions of times. At the same time, explosive nucleosynthesis occurs in the nuclei of supernovae, during which chemical elements are formed.

A few billion years after the Big Bang and the “death” of the first generation stars, under the influence of gravity, the interstellar matter, consisting of atoms of elements born during supernova explosions, forms second generation stars. Planets may form around some of them. On some of the planets, life may arise (as on Earth).

To what extent do these processes, together and individually, depend on the fact that the propagation of light is described precisely by Maxwell's equations, in which electromagnetic waves in vacuum pass through each other, practically without interacting? The answer to this question is not obvious and requires careful research and modeling.

Logic fork

Gravity, weak and strong interactions propagate according to completely different laws, not similar to Maxwell's. The same applies to the motion of elementary particles. It seems very possible that for the existence of the Universe in its present form, the equations of the electromagnetic field could be different. The same applies to the origin of life and man.

In this case, the speculative argument about the existence of multiple universes (due to the fact that the Universe can exist only with a unique combination of world constants) becomes untenable. If this is true, there is no scientific alternative to the assertion that the universe did not arise by itself (which Boltzmann spoke of and hinted at before his death).

Let's assume - so far mathematically unproven, but intuitively possible - that the Universe and man could have arisen if the equations of the electromagnetic field were different. However, this absolutely does not imply that in all frequency ranges, electromagnetic waves with all the equations of the electromagnetic field under which the Universe can exist, pass through each other at all frequencies. And that makes it possible for radios, televisions, and routers to control computers wirelessly. In this case, the assertion that the Universe was created not only for the emergence of man, but also so that man could watch television, use mobile phones and the Internet, for all its seeming absurdity, becomes inevitable.

The foregoing is a hypothetical construction, which implies subsequent analytical and computer modeling. However, it is no less, but more consistent and logical than the assumption of multiple universes, based only on the fact that with other values ​​of the world constants, the universe could not have arisen. If we take into account not only world constants, but also fundamental equations, the result of theoretical analysis can lead to one of two and only two conclusions.

First: the Universe and man can exist only with the existing combination of world constants and Maxwell's equations. And consequently, the materialistic explanation of the existence of the Universe, what it is, except for the assumption of the existence of a multiverse, does not see an alternative.

Second: the Universe, as it is, was created so that a person could not only arise, but also see and use radio-television, as well as the Internet. In other words, the universe had an anthropocentric purpose when it began. A result equivalent to the proof of creation, over which philosophers and theologians have struggled and struggle in vain.

Which of the two possibilities is correct? I'm not going to predict the answer. However, the likelihood of obtaining a mathematical proof of the creation of the world seems intriguing.
