Epigraph
"In 1955, Einstein claimed the following in a letter he wrote to the family of a friend that had recently died, 'To those of us who believe in physics, this separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, if a stubborn one,' and I agree. Time, space, and motion are illusions. The Static Matter Theory declares that the motion of matter is a reflection of the motion of our consciousness. Consciousness is First Motion, or the only true source of motion in reality. Everything else is a reflection of how our consciousness interacts with static matter. We've been measuring Secondary Motion (the illusion) and hoping it will account for everything, but it's only a tiny glimpse of material reality, and that causes big problems. So, it's time to think outside the illusion." - C. Dean Caskey 2024

Back Cover Synopsis - The Static Matter Theory was built on the Principle of First Motion; time (or our conscious momentum) is the very first source of motion we experience in reality. Our consciousness moves even when we're standing still or sleeping, and understanding this kind of motion is the key to understanding the true nature of reality. Time has been misinterpreted in physics for hundreds of years. Our perception is humanity's primary measuring tool in science and it cannot be separated from time. Our perception is also prone to errors. These errors have created a divide in physics, preventing us from uniting general relativity and quantum mechanics. After seventeen years of researching the source of the problem, I finally have a solution. This book is an introduction to the process of discovering First Motion and the mechanism of consciousness through basic logic and fundamental principles in physics. In other words, my theory is built on everything we already know. First Motion can easily be applied to every mysterious phenomenon in physics to gain a new understanding of how reality works.
Introduction - Why I Wrote This
My passion for solving mysteries pointed me toward quantum physics long after I graduated college. Ever since I was a small child, I wanted to know how everything worked. Call it a quirk or an obsession, but that craving fueled my love of science. My interest in quantum mechanics intensified after the discovery of the Higgs Boson particle. I thought this discovery was fantastic, but it still didn't explain the Cosmological Constant Problem, how entanglement works, the mystery of the Observation Effect, how classical and quantum gravity are connected, and so on. Those are the kinds of mysteries I wanted to solve. My background in philosophy helped me realize something important. Scientists don't fully understand humanity's primary measuring tool in science, our perception, and how it is tied to our consciousness. Our five bodily senses along with our imagination are our keys to learning and understanding everything, yet they are limited and prone to errors. Any tool we create to amplify our sight, hearing, touch, taste, or smell is simply amplifying a deceptive measuring tool.
Part 1 - Perception and Consciousness
Chapter 1: What is Perception?
To begin this journey of enlightenment, we need to look at our primary measuring tool in science, our perception, and how it is tied to our consciousness. Let's define perception first. According to Merriam-Webster's online dictionary, perception is: "awareness of the elements of the environment through physical sensation." Also, perception has: "a capacity for comprehension." In other words, our perception is what we experience with our bodily senses (sight, taste, touch, smell, and hearing), and our ability to realize (comprehend) that we are actively sensing something. Thus perception requires an external sensation that prompts an internal thought. Does it matter which one comes first? Well, to be perfectly clear, without the external perception happening first, we would not be able to formulate thoughts. Simply put, we cannot think if we cannot feel.
Can you remain conscious if all your senses stop working? Neurologists say no. At birth, we need our bodily senses to develop feelings, concepts, language, and to stay conscious. This sensory activity is called the central nervous system (CNS) and it can be measured in the brain by an electroencephalogram (EEG). If this sensory activity stops, it's called brain death. According to Merriam-Webster's online dictionary, brain death is: "final cessation of activity in the central nervous system especially as indicated by a flat electroencephalogram for a predetermined length of time." What is the central nervous system? According to the National Library of Medicine's (NIH) website, "The central nervous system's responsibilities include receiving, processing, and responding to sensory information." Thus perception (external and internal) is crucial to consciousness and life.
Chapter 2: What is Consciousness?
Consciousness is a word we use to explain a phenomenon that is self evident and often poorly understood, even though we just thoroughly described it while discussing perception. According to Merriam-Webster's online dictionary, consciousness is: "the quality or state of being aware, especially of something within oneself." Okay, how are we aware of external and internal things? We already determined that our perception (our five bodily senses and our comprehension of them) make it possible. Starting at birth, our physical interactions train our brains to remember what we experience. According to John Hopkins Medicine's online article Inside the Science of Memory, "When we learn something—even as simple as someone’s name—we form connections between neurons in the brain. These synapses create new circuits between nerve cells, essentially remapping the brain... Those synapses get stronger or weaker depending on how often we’re exposed to an event." That neuronal activity is the physical manifestation of a thought in our organic brain, but it doesn't look or sound like the actual thought inside our head. How we experience a thought in our mind's eye seems to defy the laws of physics.
So far, we have determined that consciousness strictly depends on bodily sensation. The sensation happens first, then comprehension through our central nervous system to the brain happens second, and that process creates a memory with a literal (physical) pathway in the brain and it creates a mysterious image or sensation (thought) in the mind's eye that defies the laws of physics.
Chapter 3: What is a Thought?
According to Merriam-Webster's online dictionary, a thought is: "the action or process of thinking." I find this definition lacking since it doesn't mention that a thought can be an image, a feeling, an idea, or a concept in the mind's eye, but it gave me something important to work with. A thought is an action, which means it is subject to time. Perception and consciousness are also subject to time. Before I get ahead of myself, let's explore how our thoughts defy the laws of physics. I can personally visualize imagines in my head with my mind's eye (I'm aware that some people cannot). For instance, I'm thinking about the time I saw the Empire State Building in New York City. How did I get a massive skyscraper inside my skull while I'm sitting in my recliner at home? It shouldn't fit. The likely explanation is that my memory of the skyscraper must be a reflection of reality appearing inside my head. Then I ask, how am I sustaining a complex picture inside my head that no one else can see? I cannot directly measure the mental image or show it to anyone else. As I'm thinking about the skyscraper, another person could see the neuronal activity in my brain on a EEG, but it doesn't prove I'm picturing a skyscraper. That is why many scientists balk at the idea of explaining how consciousness works. Consciousness produces a mysterious, self-evident phenomena that cannot be directly measured or explained, and it's called a thought.
Chapter 4: Final Notes on the Current View of Consciousness
So, currently, we know consciousness requires the ability to comprehend bodily sensations (external perception) that we use to develop thoughts (internal perception). Consciousness is not possible without these elements, and they have a defined order. Bodily sensation is first, comprehension is second, and thoughts develop last. On an important note (concerning individuals that hope to find consciousness within Artificial Intelligent), you cannot experience consciousness without a biological body to sense your surroundings. Without a central nervous system to constantly detect the world, you are not capable of consciousness, and you cannot argue that memory and thoughts alone are a form of consciousness. Memory and thoughts are created by our bodily senses and they are sustained by our bodily senses. If sensation is absent, so is consciousness. There is no other way to define it or to identify it. If you're defining it another way, then you are not describing consciousness.
Part 2 - Time and Motion
Chapter 5: Descartes's Logical Method of Scrutinizing Consciousness
In the first three chapters we discussed everything we currently know about consciousness and why it is problematic, with the problem being our thoughts appear to defy physics. Now it's time to think like the Father of Modern Philosophy, René Descartes, and infer or assume more logical information from what we already established, which is how I developed the Static Matter Theory. According to Wikipedia, In Descartes's Discourse on the Method, "he attempts to arrive at a fundamental set of principles that one can know as true without any doubt." Descartes was looking for axioms, or a foundational concept that serves as a starting point for reasoning. An axiomatic premise is self-evident or unquestionable (like our conscious motion is the first motion we experience in reality), and you can use the axiom to infer more true statements. Descartes's brilliant axiom was, "Cogito, ergo sum," or "I'm thinking. Therefore I exist."
Descartes spent months scrutinizing his reality to discover something that he could say for certain was absolutely true, and he realized the only thing he knew for certain was that he is a thinking thing. Whether he was caught in a dream or a simulation, he was experiencing something, thus he is conscious. He determined that his physical senses were deceptive. Simply walking closer to a distant object can cause its size, shape, and color to appear to change, so he decided to trust his reasoning to find fundamental truths. His process is called Deductive reasoning. According to Wikipedia, Deductive Reasoning is, "the process of drawing valid inferences," or concluding more true statements from information that is already accepted as axiomatic (self-evident) truths.
Chapter 6: The Missing Axiom of Consciousness
Now that we have Descartes's logical process to work with, let's look at the fundamental (axiomatic) requirements for consciousness, because we missed a BIG one in the first three chapters. We previously determined that consciousness requires bodily sensation which infers we need an organic body. Second, we need comprehension, which requires a central nervous system that connects the body to its brain. And third, we experience thoughts or an internal reflection of what our body sensed. These three axioms are steps towards consciousness. What are we taking for granted here? What else is absolutely required for consciousness besides a body, comprehension, and thought? TIME, a past, present, and future position. Each step is a critical point in time. Without time, there is no consciousness. Time is essential for measuring and experiencing everything. Without the perception of time, we can't feel, comprehend, or think. How did we overlook something so critical? How did Descartes overlook it? Well, Descartes had a medieval view of time and wasn't ready to scrutinize it while writing about his reasoning methods, but at least he brilliantly helped lay the foundation for modern science.
Chapter 7: What is Time?
According to the Oxford Languages English Dictionary, time is: "the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole." That is rather profound. Time is essential for existence; it's measured by past, present, and future positions; and it's "Indefinite," meaning, "lasting for an unknown or unstated length of time." In other words, we know we experience time; we have a beginning (birth), a middle (life), and an end (death). But, outside of our own experience, we can't say how long time will continue. We cannot be certain of anyone's experience but our own.
So, what do we know for certain? We know that time is an essential element of consciousness because we actively experience it, and we measure it by past, present, and future positions. If time stops, the process that creates our consciousness stops. Thus we cannot separate time from consciousness. Another way to define time is it requires a beginning, middle, and end. This led me to another realization, motion and time have a similar definition. A thing in motion has a starting position, middle position, and final position. A thing in motion is changing its position in reality, and so does time. Thus time is a thing in motion. If time cannot be separated from consciousness, then motion cannot be separated from consciousness. Thus my consciousness is always moving, even when I'm standing still.
Chapter 8: What is Motion?
According to Google's generative AI definition, "In physics, 'motion' refers to the change in an object's position with respect to a reference point over a given period of time; essentially, when an object moves from one place to another, it is considered to be in motion." That definition implies reality is orderly and can be used as a reference point while a thing in motion changes its position inside it. My consciousness is always moving through reality, and my consciousness appears to be a separate kind of motion from what I experience outside of my body. I will now refer to non-conscious motion as object motion since it is motion that happens outside of my mind. To be clear, my physical body is made of matter and is also subject to object motion. The motion that activates my consciousness is something different from object motion. I cannot control my conscious motion, but I can control bodily or object motion to a degree. Object motion appears to change speed and even stop, but my conscious motion never stops, even when I'm sleeping. I would die if it stopped. My conscious motion has a continuous force behind it, but it's not the same as my hand pushing a door open. I cannot push something open for the rest of my life. Conscious motion is something outside of everything that I'm physically familiar with. It never stops, slows, or changes direction like a physical object does, yet this mysterious motion drives my very being.
Simply put, there is an unaccounted for force in physics, which is time or conscious motion (First Motion), and it is the crux of the Static Matter Theory. I applied this idea to major problems in physics and it helped me explain ALL of them. That led me to ask, "Has any other philosopher written about time, motion, and perception working together in reality?" Yes, and he was more than a philosopher. He was a physicist named Albert Einstein. Einstein was and still is the leading expert on how reality works, but he couldn't fully explain the many discrepancies that arise when we measure reality. He knew there was a problem, and he was getting closer to solving it, but it's hard to overcome the illusion of time and motion when you're trapped inside of it.
Chapter 9: Einstein's Misstep with Motion and the Cosmological Constant Problem
To be clear, Einstein never alluded to the idea that our consciousness is a self-evident source of motion that interacts with material reality. That was my own realization. Einstein struggled with this mysterious source of motion as it caused errors and contradictions in his research. Like the Cosmological Constant Problem, where the predicted value of vacuum energy density based on quantum field theory is vastly larger than what cosmological observations say it should be. Time and motion cause problems when you attempt to apply them to quantum mechanics.
For clarification, the Static Matter Theory should not be confused with Einstein's Static Eternal Universe idea or the Static Infinite Universe idea that was first proposed by English astronomer Thomas Digges between 1546–1595. These ideas attempted to use finite concepts like time and space (geometry) to measure an infinite universe. In Static Matter, material reality is the only thing that is infinite, and that means it is not limited by time, motion, or space. This is where the Cosmological Constant Problem came from. Einstein didn't realize he needed to differentiate how our finite (limited) perception interacts with an infinite (limitless) reality. Time, space, and moving objects are phenomena (illusions) caused by our conscious motion. Conscious motion (or the perception to time) is the first and only source of motion, and it is not intrinsic to material reality.
Going back to what I said in the beginning, we use our shifting perception (which is subject to time) to measure everything, and our perception cannot be separated from our consciousness. Whether we like it or not, our consciousness is constantly moving, even when we're standing still, and that behavior is opposite of material reality. Material reality, like a mountain, often appears to stay motionless for long periods of time. Thus our conscious motion is a separate phenomenon, and I call it First Motion because it is the very first motion I experience in reality. It is the unseen force that activates and sustains my consciousness and it sustains time. This logical realization may not seem profound at first, but have you ever asked, "What set time in motion? What is the true source of motion in reality?" Einstein spent decades observing and measuring how our consciousness interacts with reality, and he started to realize he was measuring what appeared to be an illusion, but he didn't discover what was causing it. Now it's time to examine just how profound the idea of First Motion is by applying it to the biggest mysteries in physics.
Part 3 - General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, and First Motion
Chapter 10: The Big Divide in Modern Physics
According to Wikipedia's List of unsolved problems in physics, the biggest problem in current physics is the lack of a theory that connects every aspect of the universe together. Physicists want a Theory of Everything. Wikipedia's article about the Theory of Everything says, "Over the past few centuries, two theoretical frameworks have been developed that, together, most closely resemble a theory of everything. These two theories upon which all modern physics rests are general relativity (big, observable things and gravity) and quantum mechanics (tiny, un-observable things)." The entry for General Relativity states, "General relativity is Einstein's theory of gravity." Current physics says, "gravity is a fundamental interaction primarily observed as a mutual attraction between all things that have mass." Now, "Quantum mechanics describes the behavior of nature at and below the scale of atoms... Even though the predictions of both quantum theory and general relativity have been supported by rigorous and repeated empirical evidence, their abstract formalisms contradict each other and they have proven extremely difficult to incorporate into one consistent, cohesive model."
Simply put, general relativity relies on geometric calculations that include the dimension of time to help us precisely measure when an event will occur. It uses our limited, bodily senses for measuring. Quantum mechanics is less visual (interpreted through indirect, tool-assisted measuring) and is not exact, and it only deals with very tiny things. Quantum mechanics uses probabilities to predict particle behavior since quantum particles appear to move differently compared to large, perceivable objects.
Chapter 11: The Double Slit Experiment Revealed Quantum Mechanics
Keep in mind, the whole point of this explanation is to demonstrate how badly our perception distorts our measurements, and the big problems started with the discovery of quantum behavior. The double-slit experiment demonstrates how light and matter can act like measurable objects and immeasurable waves at the same time.
Let's consider the Double-Slit Experiment on a simple, classical scale. We have a wall in the middle of a room with two vertical slits in it. The slits are the same size, two feet tall, five inches wide, and five inches apart. They are big enough to throw golf balls through. Beyond the slits on the back wall is a digital sensory screen that can detect and create a mark when something makes contact with it, or when it detects resistance. Now, you have a bucket of golf balls, and you begin throwing the balls straight through the double slits, alternating between the slits for even distribution. The balls will consistently go through the slits in different spots, depending on the throw. Then they will leave a pattern on the measuring wall that, over time, will eventually resemble the two slits that the balls were thrown through. That is a demonstration of how we measure things in classical mechanics. Now, if we fill the room halfway with water and begin making waves, one after the other, and send them towards the double-slits, they will pass through and be split by the slits, forming two waves on the opposite side. The new waves will spread and crash into each other as they expand and continue forward, eventually leaving an interference pattern on the final measuring wall because higher resistance will be detected where the waves peak. The wave pattern doesn't look anything like the dot patterns left by the golf balls, but they're both examples of different kinds of objects in motion that can be explained with general relativity. This can also be demonstrated at the atomic level, but not as we expected.
Chapter 12: The Double Slit Experiment and the Observation Effect Reveal Particle Duality
Now, let's shrink the double slit experiment down and launch electrons through smaller slits instead of golf balls. What do you think will appear on the measuring wall this time? We naturally expect to see the straight-shooting golf ball pattern, but to our surprise, an interference wave pattern appears on the measuring wall. It looks similar to the pattern left by the water waves, but it's created by dots, so the electrons are definitely passing through the slits like golf balls, but the final patterns suggest they are interfering with each other like waves! Like water, the atomic particles are taking all the possible paths and interfering with each other after they pass through the slits. It's like they're splitting in half and taking both paths at the same time, but we're launching one particle at a time. The phenomena didn't make any sense. Physicists couldn't explain it, so they declared that atomic particles have duality, meaning they behave like particles and waves. To further investigate the phenomenon, scientists decided to put a camera in front of the slits to observe the electrons as they passed through the slits, and to their astonishment, the pattern on the measuring wall changed. The classical straight-shooting pattern appeared again when they're measured! This phenomenon clearly demonstrated how our bodily senses limit and guide our conscious motion.
When measured before entering the slits, the electrons act like golf balls and demonstrate classical mechanics! This is called the Observation Effect, and physicists are still struggling to explain how it changes particle behavior. The particles literally changed their behavior when they're observed earlier in the experiment. This is also where the concept of superposition comes in. According to Google's AI overview, superposition means, "an atomic particle exists in multiple states simultaneously, like being in two places at once, until it is observed or measured, where it will then 'collapse' into a single definite state." Physicists didn't realize the contradictions are caused by the limits of our perception and the effects of our conscious motion. I can finally explain what's happening using the Principle of First Motion.
First Motion is our conscious motion, or the passage of time, which is activated by a mysterious outer force that pushes against material reality without changing reality's atomic structure. First Motion is literally the first motion we experience in reality and the only verifiable source of motion because it is self evident. It allows us to experience time and keeps our consciousness moving even when we're asleep. First Motion activates our bodily senses and is the driving force behind our field of perception which expands beyond our bodies in all directions. First motion can interact with infinite, static matter and discover all possible paths, but our brain can only comprehend a small part of our perception field through our limited bodily senses. What we assume to be quantum mechanics is actually the behavior of First Motion being interpreted by our central nervous system. First motion is looking for, measuring, and simply taking all possible paths around us, but we only experience a tiny fraction of those innumerable paths through our limited bodily senses.
Chapter 13: Interpreting the Double Slit Experiment Using the Static Matter Theory and the Principle of First Motion.
The Static Matter Theory declares that the only motion in reality is our conscious motion or the passage of time, which can simply be called First Motion, since it is the first motion we experience. It also implies material reality is holding still around us and particles are everywhere around us, but we can only perceive a tiny part of them at a time. The classic motion we see with our eyes and feel with our bodies is secondary motion, or a limited reflection of our conscious motion. Let's imagine the Double Slit Experiment with this new perspective.
We have to realize that what we're actually measuring on the final wall is a filtered reaction created by First Motion interacting with static particle arrangements; the atoms themselves are not moving. So, when we set up the Double Slit Experiment to measure quantum particles by "launching" electrons through the double slits, what we're actually doing is setting up a pathway to detect the flow of First Motion energy. First Motion will follow the innumerable paths made by the infinite particle arrangements around us, but our limited bodily senses and the parameters of the experiment will reduce the energy to something we can comprehend. When we launch an electron toward the double slits, it doesn't split and take both paths so it can interfere with itself. We're not detecting a moving electron. We're detecting energy that is quantized by our central nervous system to make it look like an object. The ENERGY takes both paths available to it. If we don't measure the launched energy, it will follow all the paths available to it within the experiment's parameters. We are measuring flowing energy, not physical electrons moving. Our reality is an energetic reaction.
Now, when we put a camera in front of the slits, we introduce a measuring tool that directs First Motion down a singular path. The camera is an extension of our bodily senses, thus it literally forces the energy to abide by classical mechanics. Thus the camera changes the pattern on the final wall to a straight-shooting bullet pattern. The camera and our senses act like singular slits on their own to limit energy flow to one path. That is why particles appear to have a dual nature when they don't. Our perception has a dual nature because it evolved to quantize infinite energy into something we can comprehend. Our consciousness is activated by two types of motion. First motion, which we experience as the flow of time that keeps our consciousness moving in one direction. We have no control over First Motion. And Secondary Motion, which is our bodily motion that we can control to degree. Secondary Motion is a filtered version of First Motion fed back to us through our central nervous system, and that process quantizes energy for us. And this is the first logical explanation of what causes the phenomena of particle duality and the Observation Effect.
Part 4 - Predetermined Order and Quantum Entanglement
Chapter 14: Visualizing First Motion with the Stop-Motion Phenomena
Our natural inclination is to look at the world around us and say things are moving. My body is walking through my house or a car is rolling down the street. But, if material reality isn't actually moving, what is causing the illusion of motion? It's the flow of time that creates a feedback loop between our brain and our bodily senses. The reaction is started by First Motion encountering Static Matter, which creates a massive area of electromagnetic energy. This energy is finding paths of least resistance, and it encounters the static storyline of our lives. Our consciousness begins at that point. The feedback loop created by our brain and central nervous system quantizes this immeasurable energy into something we can comprehend. The feedback loop creates entangled snapshots of reality that we call objects and particles. These entangled snapshots mark coordinates in space and time for us to remember. We perceive these entangle pathways so fast it looks smooth, like we're watching a movie, and I call it the Stop-Motion Phenomenon. To understand the Stop-Motion Phenomenon, you need a basic understanding of how stop-motion animation works.
Imagine you're holding a flip book with a collection of images of a stick man waving at you. Each page of the cartoon depicts the stick man in a slightly different position in a storyline. When you quickly view these images by flipping through the book, the stick man comes to life and looks like he's waving, but in reality, all the images are static. The motion is an illusion created by our eyes speedily looking through the static images in an orderly manner. The same thing is happening to us as our consciousness moves through entangle energy along the storyline of our lives. We are encountering and sensing entangled energy incredibly fast. Our bodies are included in the illusion. We are essentially a ball of energy jumping between static particle pathways in a storyline, and entangled energy marks the path or quantizes it for us, and it brings reality into motion just like the stick man in the flip book, but we experience it with all five senses, not just our eyes.
So, the simplest explanation of the Static Matter Theory is that our consciousness is the only thing moving, creating the illusion of time, motion, and space along entangled pathways, and this leads to an upheaval in current physics because physicists talk about motion like it's intrinsic to matter itself. In Static Matter, only our consciousness moves while matter holds its position around us. Matter simply resists disorder to keep its shape, and we exist within the reaction between two opposing forces, which are First Motion and Static Matter.
Chapter 15: How Does Logic and Physics Demonstrate Reality's Infinite and Static Nature?
In philosophy, specifically metaphysics, there is the concept of "Totality" or "The Whole" that I eventually interpreted as meaning "infinite" because it is the sum of all things and cannot be measured. The Oxford Languages Online Dictionary says infinite is, "Limitless or endless in space, extent, or size; impossible to measure or calculate." We cannot comprehend the vastness of reality. We only understand the limits of our perception, but we can conceptualize incomprehensible things, and according to modern physics, atoms have an infinite nature. According to Wikipedia's entry for Conservation of mass, "In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of mass states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter the mass of the system must remain constant over time."
In simpler terms, atoms cannot be created or destroyed. Their energy and mass remain constant. That means material reality is a closed system. Reality is "The Whole" where nothing can be added or taken away and it's all too big to be measured, thus it's infinite. A key point in metaphysics to remember; when something is the sum of all things, it doesn't move. If you cannot take anything away from something or add anything to it, then it is complete and does not change. If something cannot change, then it cannot move. Atoms don't move. Atoms cannot be created or destroyed. Our consciousness moves and creates the illusion of motion in material reality.
Chapter 16: Is Order Predetermined?
According to physics and philosophy, order is predetermined. Atoms don't forget their order overnight, and they cannot be created or destroyed. Atoms abide by the laws of conservation of mass and energy. If something cannot be created or destroyed, then it has no beginning and no end. If order wasn't predetermined, there would be no organized future to step into, and your next step forward would be into a scrambled reality. Order always precedes existence. Thus material reality is a Complete Masterpiece of the entire universe, perceived and unperceived; past, present, and future existing together all at once. Infinite versions of you exist in reality across the multiverse, but your conscious motion can only read and comprehend one storyline at a time. The only thing that is limited and moving is our consciousness which we perceive as the passage of time. Our consciousness has a beginning and an end, and it follows a predetermined storyline. How do we visualize that?
I like to think of our conscious motion as a spark of energy lighting up a small area in an infinite mass of pure reality. The outer force that activates our perception is harnessed by our brains and central nervous system. The static particle arrangements (or snapshots of entangled energy) that construct our brain and body create a path of least resistance the outer force can flow through, and thanks to the innumerable storylines around us, we have wiggle room to make limited choices, but we cannot stray off our path of least resistance without dying. If your path suddenly becomes high resistances, like slamming into a brick wall at a hundred miles per hour or falling off a thousand foot cliff, your motion will end because your body will be destroyed, and your brain can no longer harness the mysterious energy that activates your consciousness.
Chapter 17: How Do We Make Choices in a Predetermined Reality? With a Perception Field.
Because our consciousness moves along a path of least resistance, we have wiggle room within infinite storylines that are attuned to our body. Our field of perception expands beyond our bodies and gives us a limited glance into the future, allowing us to change our position to a safer path of least resistance. Our brains produce electromagnetic energy that can be measured with electroencephalography (EEG). That energy allows us to interact with particles at a distance so we can choose a path of least resistance. For instance, before you cross a road, your hearing and sight (parts of your perception field) allow you to detect distant cars that could potentially hit you, giving you time to stay in one place or move to avoid a high-resistant collision. Our perception field is always in contact with infinite particle arrangements that make up our past, present, and future.
Chapter 18: A Different Explanation of Quantum Entanglement and Memories
According to Caltech's Science Exchange article What Is Entanglement and Why Is It Important? Quantum entanglement is, "When two particles, such as a pair of photons or electrons, become entangled, they remain connected even when separated by vast distances." It's difficult to explain the physical process of using a special crystal to split a special laser beam to generate entangled photons, but you don't have to understand the process to know that the resulting entangled particles stay correlated even when they're extremely far apart. Correlated means the particles are connected in a way that when you measure one particle you will automatically know the result of the entangled particle even if it's miles away.
This spooky predictability at a distance makes it possible to send information across vast distances instantaneously. The entangled particles stay connected no matter how far apart they travel, and scientists cannot explain how this connection works. I finally have an explanation for it. Our perception field and First Motion keep the particles connected. Every experiment we conduct to measure particles is actually measuring how our perception field interacts with pathways created by the infinite particle arrangements around us. Keep in mind, our unseen perception field is driven by First Motion (the mysterious outer force), and it can reach far into the depths of space. We exist within an electromagnetic reaction where First Motion and Static Matter interact. Wherever our limited bodily perception can go, whether enhanced by telescopes or space probes, our perception field can go further, and it can entangle and quantize energy for us to perceive. Our perception field has limits, but they are beyond our ability to accurately measure. Our perception field is one big continuous source of motion that can spread as far as our senses can, and that is how entangled particles stay connected. One moving force is touching them across vast distances, so they are always connected. We're measuring the entangled energy of our perception field, not some mysterious action at a distance.
Let's touch on a less-certain phenomena while we're on the subject, thoughts and memories. Our brains are likely using entangled connections to build physics-defying mental images from our past encounters with objects. The more we experience something, like a landmark, the stronger or more connected the path in our brain becomes. Our brain is mapping reality using our perception field and our bodily senses to entangle energy pathways. Again, it's a feedback loop that quantizes energy so we can comprehend it. These paths can stay entangled as long as we are conscious, thus offering an explanation to why mental images look real in our mind's eye. Our perception field makes entanglement less mysterious, but it also reveals something a little more spooky. It implies reality is predetermined. If material reality could change, entangled particles wouldn't stay connected. There would be no order whatsoever to measure. Order precedes existence.
Alan Guth, a physicist at MIT, was quoted in the MIT News article Light from Ancient Quasars Helps Confirm Quantum Entanglement. Guth said, "If some conspiracy is happening to simulate quantum mechanics by a mechanism that is actually classical, that mechanism would have had to begin its operations — somehow knowing exactly when, where, and how this experiment was going to be done — at least 7.8 billion years ago. That seems incredibly implausible, so we have very strong evidence that quantum mechanics is the right explanation." I'm not sure why Guth is so quick to reject the idea that order is predetermined when atoms and particles obviously never forget their order, which allows us to step into an orderly future. There wouldn't be anything to measure if atoms kept forgetting their order. When reality is the sum of all things, it holds the details of everything we will ever do and it's not subject to time. Time starts with consciousness. Time is not intrinsic to material reality. So, yes, Static Matter knew when, where, and how their quasar light experiment would happen over 7.8 billion years ago and beyond.
Chapter 19: Our Conscious Motion Functions Within a Probability Amplitude
Feynman's Path Integral formulation helped me visualize how our conscious motion and our perception field move through infinite storylines. According to Wikipedia's entry for Path integral formulation, "It replaces the classical notion of a single, unique classical trajectory for a system with a sum, or functional integral, over an infinity of quantum-mechanically possible trajectories to compute a quantum amplitude." In other words, when you step out of Newtonian mechanics into the quantum world, we can no longer predict the exact path of a quantum particle. We can only estimate where we might find the particle in a certain area because that area offers the least amount of resistance. In the Static Matter Theory, we're actually measuring the path of our conscious motion, not a moving particle. So, instead of calculating an exact path like in classical mechanics that we can measure with our eyes, we have to estimate a path within a probability amplitude. That means we define a limited area to measure since we cannot measure an infinite area. Even within that limited area, we can only estimate where the motion might be detected, and in the regions of least resistance, there is a higher probability of detecting motion.
Chapter 20: Changing Our Perspective is What Causes the Illusion of Time, Motion, and Space
What causes the material world to appear to move? How does material reality appear to have wide open spaces when we're actually surrounded by infinite, static particle arrangements? How do I visualize the illusion from outside of my consciousness? The Stop-Motion Phenomenon is the best way to understand conscious motion or the First Motion we experience in reality. Despite the immeasurable entangled pathways around us, we can only perceive one storyline, and our bodies are part of the illusion. It helps me to imagine my consciousness as a ball of light that constantly moves, and it follows a path of least resistance. The light is literally jumping between entangled pathways that look like frozen snapshots of reality. It's like pictures on a film strip from a movie reel or a computer monitor's frame rate, but we experience life with all five senses, not just our eyes. The unseen force that is moving our consciousness allows us to experience the motion of time even when we're standing still.
Imagine you're walking down a road beside a beautiful forest. As you're moving, the forest catches fire. You stop to watch the inevitable destruction. Remember, your conscious energy is still moving even when you're standing still, thus your consciousness is still changing its perspective even when your eyes aren't. Time is always progressing. Now, imagine your body is part of the static particle arrangements, and your conscious light is simply jumping between the arrangements in an orderly fashion, shining brightly where your brain is located in the snapshots. While the particle arrangements hold still, each one is slightly different, and when you move through them fast enough, those little changes start to tell a story of motion, just like the stick man in the flip book. That is how your consciousness is always changing perspective, and it allows you to watch the forest burn to ashes while you're standing still. Nothing changes at the atomic level. Only your perspective changes as your light moves along a storyline.
Part 5 - Gravity and Warped Perception
Chapter 21: The Current View of Gravity and How Static Matter Changes It
Our current view of gravity is based on Einstein's explanation of general relativity and the forces within quantum mechanics. There are four fundamental forces to describe between these two theories. In Space.com's article, The four fundamental forces of nature, we have, "The weak force, electromagnetism, the strong force, and gravity." Gravity in general is, "the attraction between two objects that have mass or energy..." It's challenging to explain because we experience gravity through the filter of our senses. "The weak force, also called the weak nuclear interaction, is responsible for particle decay." "The electromagnetic force acts between charged particles, like negatively charged electrons and positively charged protons." "The strong nuclear force is the strongest of the four fundamental forces of nature... it binds the fundamental particles of matter together to form larger particles." In the Static Matter Theory, all this becomes resistance to the moving force.
In current physics, the four fundamental forces push and pull in different ways at every scale. In the Static Matter Theory, Gravity is resistance to disorder at every scale. Thus gravity performs the same continuous function at the atomic scale as it does at the astronomical scale, it resists the motion of time. Then our bodily senses act like blinders and direct our focus onto one storyline, completely limiting how we interpret reality, and this limiting effect causes us to see the illusion of motion instead of a wall of infinite reality. Our perception field is always touching the infinite pathways or particle arrangements around us, but our senses only let our brain interpret one path. In summation, the Static Matter Theory has reduced physics down to three principals: First, there is only one moving force in reality and it is the mysterious outer force that drives our conscious motion or time forward, which I call First Motion. Second, material reality is infinite and doesn't move, and third, there is an electromagnetic reaction where these opposing forces meet, and that is where we exist. The feedback loop between our brain and central nervous system quantizes this immeasurable reaction into something we can comprehend.
Chapter 22: Higher Resistance can Warp Our Perception
As mentioned earlier, with Static Matter, gravity is simply resistance to disorder. The four fundamental forces (gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces) consistently resist disorder at every scale. They perform one function. Material reality is a closed system that does not move. Thus it resists the motion of time, and some parts of reality resist our conscious motion to the point of stopping it. The limited order we experience at the relative scale is dependent on the perfect order at the atomic scale, and some order is so dense and concentrated our consciousness cannot comprehend it or penetrate it. Thus dense material reality literally warps our perception. Gravity does not bend space and time, it warps our perception by creating higher resistance. Higher resistance can be caused by dense matter or accelerated speeds, and they both cause a lensing effect in our vision because it unevenly changes the speed of our perception.
Chapter 23: Black Holes
Our consciousness likes to travel along a path of least resistance. That implies there are also areas of high resistance, like a black hole. Physicists predict black holes to be the most extreme gravity in the universe. We can't even directly detect them. We find them by looking for things affected by their super gravity, like warped light from distant stars or objects caught in the black hole's gravity. Our consciousness can't read or comprehend anything that "moves" faster than the speed of light, there is too much resistance for our conscious motion to penetrate. Once you step into the event horizon of a black hole, you would need to move faster than the speed of light to escape the gravity of the singularity. That breaks physics for us. Thus black holes are a dead zone to our senses.
Consider this quote from NASA's website, "Massive objects like black holes can bend and distort light from more distant objects. This effect, called gravitational lensing, can be used to find isolated black holes that are otherwise invisible." The lensing is a result of our vision hitting high resistance in one spot while moving normally around the rest of it. Our consciousness cannot interpret or penetrate super gravity, so we cannot see it. The black hole itself is not bending light around it. Our conscious-perception is the only thing moving and being distorted. Thus our field of vision stops where the black hole is located, but it still moves around it where there is less resistance. The resulting distortion is similar to looking through a thick glass lens.
Chapter 24: Time Dilation According to Static Matter
All material matter resists our conscious motion, but highly concentrated areas of matter, like a black hole, will slow our consciousness down until it stops it. The event horizon of a black hole is where our conscious motion would stop. As your conscious motion approaches the event horizon, it will hit higher and higher resistance. It's like swimming through water, then mud, then you hit a solid granite wall of pure resistance. If our consciousness stops, that's death. In the realm of secondary motion (what we physically sense), super gravity would appear to pull our bodies toward it faster. At the same time, it's increasing the resistance against our consciousness. Our conscious motion would literally hit static particle arrangements faster and faster until it stops, and that's death. So let's focus on survivable areas of high resistance.
When resistance is high, like close to the event horizon, our consciousness will move slower as it hits denser particle arrangements, and that causes time dilation. We have to keep in mind that if we're caught in an area of high resistance, we won't notice the effects of time slowing even if we're feeling the high gravity strain on our bodies, but someone observing us from an area of lower resistance will see us moving slower. High speeds and high gravity have the same effect on our conscious motion. They are paths of higher resistance that slow our consciousness and our perception down. Areas of high resistance like a black hole or a rocket launch are dangerous to us. We thrive in areas of least resistance, thus you're more likely to find the motion of our consciousness there.
Chapter 25: The Large Hadron Collider, Enhancing Our Perception to See Reality's Layers
CERN's website says, "The Standard Model of particle physics – has precisely predicted a wide variety of phenomena and so far successfully explained almost all experimental results in particle physics. But the Standard Model is incomplete. It leaves many questions open, which the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) will help to answer." But, according to the Static Matter Theory, scientists are asking the wrong questions. Physicists ask, "What is the origin of mass?" without realizing it always existed because atoms cannot be created or destroyed (the law of conservation of mass). Only our consciousness has an origin (a starting point) and it's moving through an unchanging, infinite reality.
The LHC is revealing reality's layers upon layers of perfect order and how our consciousness can or cannot interact with them. A machine is not going to find the origin of mass because you can't find the beginning of something that cannot be created or destroyed. Thanks to my understanding of metaphysics, I looked at quantum physics and asked, "What is the source of motion in reality? Where does time actually begin?" That's how I discovered that our primary measuring tool in science, our perception (which is limited and can move), is where time starts, and it's causing contradictions in our measurements. The LHC experiments are limited paths designed by humans to create extreme conditions that our consciousness can only comprehend through concepts. We cannot directly perceive the results of the experiments. We have to study the data they collect to find what we're looking for, like how the Higgs Boson was detected by its decay particles, not by directly looking at it.
Chapter 26: Explaining the Illusion of Redshift with Static Matter
The mysterious energy behind our conscious motion that is limited by our bodily senses slows down the further it travels away from our brain. If we're on earth and observing a distant galaxy with an advanced telescope, the path is already creating higher resistance because it is so long, thus it will slow our conscious motion down the further it reaches into space, causing the illusion of redshift. Thus, according to the Static Matter Theory, the universe is NOT expanding. The perceived expansion (motion) is a reflection of our conscious motion moving through static particle arrangements and hitting higher resistance over long distances, which slows it down. The material expansion is an illusion. Einstein was on the right track by assuming the universe wasn't moving, but redshift made him abandon the Cosmological Constant all together. It was later added back to his theory for measuring dark matter, and dark matter can be explained by our perception field interacting with infinite particle arrangements that we cannot comprehend with our bodily senses.
According to Wikipedia's entry about a Static Universe theory, "In order for a static infinite universe model to be viable, it must explain three things: First, it must explain the intergalactic redshift." In Static Matter, when our perception field reaches its limits and hits an area of higher resistance due to long distances, it slows down, and the illusion of redshift occurs. "Second, it must explain the cosmic microwave background radiation." In the Static Matter Theory, the CMB is caused by our perception field interacting with infinite, static particle arrangements that our bodily senses cannot comprehend. If we could see all those particle paths at once, it would blind us. "Third, it must have a mechanism to re-create matter (particularly hydrogen atoms) from radiation or other sources in order to avoid a gradual 'running down' of the universe due to the conversion of matter into energy in stellar processes. With the absence of such a mechanism, the universe would consist of dead objects such as black holes and black dwarfs." In the Static Matter Theory, the universe's matter and energy are constant because they are infinite and static. Atoms cannot be created or destroyed. The Black Body Energy or heat we detect throughout the perceivable universe is created by the continuous flow of First Motion energy interacting with Static Matter. In a sense, the only thing that can run down and die in the universe is our consciousness, not the foundation of reality itself.
Chapter 27: In Closing, Why is this New Perspective of Reality Important to Me?
So, did the Big Bang start the flow of time? After everything I have considered, I can comfortably say it didn't. Something separate from material reality is driving time and our consciousness forward. Our limited perception cannot penetrate super tiny realms, black hole gravity, or the endless expanse of space. What we predict to be the Big Bang is likely our limited perception trying to make sense of a dense, perfectly ordered reality at its smallest scale that simply goes on for infinity and escapes our limited field of perception. Time starts with First motion and our consciousness. Our consciousness is subject to time and has a beginning and an end. Material reality has no beginning or end. Material reality always existed; past, present, and future all together at once. Time starts when the mysterious outer force touches all the possible paths our consciousness can take, and the paths already exist in the infinite framework of material reality. We exist within the reaction between two opposing forces. The big question is, did the reaction have a beginning? That's unknowable, but it is likely infinite as well.
There is so much more to be said about the Static Matter Theory and the Principle of First Motion, but I'm trying to keep it concise so people can quickly comprehend it and add to it. From the perspective of Static Matter, everything that mankind can achieve is already predetermined and exists in the universe, waiting to be perceived. That's mind boggling, but physics supports the assumption because we cannot deny that order is predetermined. Reality appears to behave more and more like an advanced video game that we are trapped inside. All our possible actions are predetermined in the programming, giving us limited choices. The force that activates our conscious motion could be a cosmic gamer outside the system, logging on to move us forward within our defined parameters. Reality is way more complex than that, but the similarities are haunting. I would personally love to crack the code of our reality and discover all its mysteries. If you haven't noticed yet, that is my life obsession.
One more note before I leave you to digest this new perspective; I took liberties describing Static Matter and the mechanism of First Motion so they would make visual and mechanical sense. Our minds cannot comprehend the shape of an infinite reality and how energy interacts with it. We measure the reflection of First Motion with our limited bodily senses and use our imaginations (and equations) to figure out the rest. There will be more books concerning First Motion as my theory evolves, and I hope the physics community will accept it and help me add to it. It's built on everything we already know. We simply have to think about our knowledge from a new perspective.

Glossary:
[] Axiom - a statement or proposition which is regarded as being established, accepted, or self-evidently true in a logical argument. A starting point for reasoning.
[] Classical Mechanics - is a physical theory describing the motion of objects such as projectiles, parts of machinery, spacecraft, planets, stars, and galaxies.
[] Consciousness (current view) - the quality or state of being aware, especially of something within oneself. Awareness requires bodily sensation and internal sensation, or perception through our central nervous system that helps us generate internal thoughts. The elements of consciousness are; perception with a physical body, comprehension or realizing that we're sensing something, then a reflective thought of the experience. The order of experience is essential for the emergence of consciousness. Time, motion, and resistance are also required to activate consciousness.
[] Consciousness (Static Matter view) - Consciousness or conscious motion is First Motion and self evident. It is the first motion we experience in reality and the manifestation of time in reality. It is the act of perceiving something with our bodily senses. Time is essential for experiencing motion and consciousness. Conscious motion is different from the motion we experience with our bodily senses. A mysterious outer force (outside of material reality) drives our consciousness. Also see Outer Force and First Motion.
[] Conscious Motion - is another way of referring to self-evident First Motion that is something distinct from material reality yet interacts with material reality. Also See Consciousness.
[] Constant - is a fixed value that does not change in a given context. It is a specific, unchanging number or value within a mathematical equation or system.
[] Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB) (classical view) - is microwave radiation that fills all space in the observable universe. It's thought to be evidence from the Big Bang event. With a standard optical telescope, the background space between stars and galaxies is almost completely dark, but a sensitive radio telescope can detect this radiation as a faint background glow that is almost uniform and is not associated with any star, galaxy, or other object. From Wikipedia entry on Cosmic Microwave Background. (Static Matter view) - this radiation is caused by our unfocused perception field created by First Motion and Static Matter interacting. The reaction reaches far into space to touch all possible paths (static, unseen particle arrangements) that make up the probability amplitude of our timeline. CMB is another way of detecting First Motion.
[] Dark Matter (classical view) - In astronomy, dark matter is an invisible and hypothetical form of matter that does not interact with light or other electromagnetic radiation. Dark matter is implied by gravitational effects which cannot be explained by general relativity unless more matter is present than can be observed. (Static Matter view) - dark matter is simply the infinite, unperceived static particle arrangements that always exist around us and are energized by the reaction of two infinite opposing forces. Reality is the sum of all things, but our brains can only comprehend a tiny part of it at a time.
[] Electromagnetic Radiation (current view) - According to Wikipedia: electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is a self-propagating wave of the electromagnetic field that carries momentum and radiant energy through space. It encompasses a broad spectrum, classified by frequency (or its inverse - wavelength), ranging from radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, to gamma rays.[3][4] All forms of EMR travel at the speed of light in a vacuum and exhibit wave–particle duality, behaving both as waves and as discrete particles called photons. (Static Matter View) Electromagnetic Radiation is the result of the interaction between First Motion and Static Matter. It is an immeasurable area where our perception field can function. This field allows for the emergence of time and consciousness.
[] First Motion (Principle of First Motion) - is our conscious motion or the flow of time that is activated by a mysterious outer force. It is the defining principle of the Static Matter Theory. First Motion is literally the first motion we experience in reality and the only verifiable source of motion because it is self evident (I am experiencing time, even when I'm sleeping). First Motion activates our bodily senses and is the driving force behind our field of perception which expands beyond our bodies in all directions, but our bodily senses only read a small part of our perception field at a time. First Motion interacts with material reality but it's not intrinsic to material reality; its motion can be measured with the Double Slit Experiment. First motion can interact with static material and discover all possible paths before our senses choose one path by entangling energy, which quantizes energy so we can comprehend it objectively. That's why First Motion leaves an interference wave pattern on the final wall of the Double Slit Experiment when it is not subject to observation. What we assume to be quantum mechanics is actually the behavior of First Motion. The motion is looking for, measuring, or simply taking all possible paths it can, but our brains can only comprehend one path at a time through our bodily senses.
[] Gravity - (current view) One of the four fundamental forces. Gravity is a fundamental interaction primarily observed as a mutual attraction between all things that have mass. It is considered the weakest of the four fundamental forces. General relativity is Einstein's theory of gravity.
[] Gravity (quantum view) - quantum gravity is made up of three of the four fundamental forces. The weak force, electromagnetism, and the strong force. They are the forces within atoms that cause them to keep their order.
[] Gravity (Static Matter view) - is resistance to disorder at every scale. Gravity performs the same function at the quantum level as it does at the astronomical level. All matter has gravity, thus it holds its shape and resists motion. Gravity's continuous function is resistance.
[] General Relativity - is Einstein's theory of gravity, the weakest of the four fundamental forces. It is one of two theories upon which all modern physics rests. Also see gravity. [] Infinity - is the sum of all things. It does not change thus it does not move. Infinity is an incomprehensible state that we understand through a concept. It is not a number on an object. It's a state of completeness that goes on forever in every direction and is beyond measure by our limited senses. It includes past, present, future, and all possible things. Also see Totality, The Whole.
[] Material Reality (Matter) - is substance, atoms, quantum particles, and all that they create. Matter cannot be created or destroyed, thus it is infinite and the sum of all things. It doesn't move. Also see infinity.
[] Mind's Eye - is a metaphorical reference to the ability to visualize or imagine something in one's mind, such as pictures, feelings, sounds, and concepts. Thoughts and memories are a mysterious phenomena of the process of consciousness, and their appearance is dependent on all the elements of consciousness (see consciousness for details). Measurable neuronal activity corresponds with thoughts, but there is no way to measure what the thought looks like since only the thinker can see their internal thoughts.
[] Motion - is something changing positions in space. It cannot be separated from time. A moving object has a past, present, and future position. Two forces are required to activate motion in reality. First motion is perceived when static particles resist that motion.
[] Object Motion - is motion that we observe in material reality using our bodily senses.
[] Observation Effect (current view) - is when particles change their behavior when they're measured at different points in an experiment.
[] Observation Effect (Static Matter view) - what we're actually observing/measuring is our conscious motion (energy) interacting with material reality before and after it is limited by our bodily senses.
[] Outer Force - the unseen force that activates First Motion or time. The Outer Force seems foreign to material reality, but it is able to flow through it (in a sense). Our consciousness is a product of the outer force's motion, but we only know it exists because it is the self-evident flow of time. It is activating our consciousness and pushing it along an orderly storyline created by material reality. Material reality resists the Outer Force, creating an electromagnetic reaction where we exist.
[] Path of Higher Resistance - occur naturally or are created by instruments used to enhance our perception. We can strap ourselves inside a rocket and launch ourselves into outer space, and that becomes a path of higher resistance. We can use a high-powered telescope to enhance our vision to create another path of higher resistance for one of our senses.
[] Path of Least Resistance - In physics, the "path of least resistance" is a heuristic from folk physics that can sometimes, in very simple situations, describe approximately what happens. It is an approximation of the tendency to the least energy state (sourced from Wikipedia's entry for Path of least resistance). Examples of this is how water flows down hill.
[] Path of Least Resistance (Static Matter view) - Is the path where you will likely find our consciousness and first motion in an unfocused state. According to Google's AI overview concerning a path of least resistance: "In quantum mechanics, the 'path of least resistance' is often described as the 'path of least action,' where a quantum particle will most likely follow the trajectory that minimizes a quantity called 'action' - essentially the most efficient route between two points, considering both energy and time, which is analogous to the idea of taking the easiest path in classical physics, even though quantum particles exhibit wave-like behavior and can potentially take multiple paths simultaneously due to superposition."
[] Perception - According to Merriam-Webster's online dictionary, perception is: [a.] "awareness of the elements of the environment through physical sensation." Also, perception has: [b.] "a capacity for comprehension." In other words, our perception is what we experience with our bodily senses (sight, taste, touch, smell, and hearing), and our ability to realize (comprehend) that we are actively sensing something. It requires an organic body with a central nervous system connected to a brain. Perception cannot be separated from consciousness and time.
[] Perception (Static Matter view) - is created by two different kinds of motion, First Motion, which is the uncontrollable flow of time, and Secondary Motion, which is our bodily motion that we can control to a degree. Perception is a key step in activating and maintaining consciousness through our bodily senses and inner thoughts. It is our number one measuring tool in science. It is limited in the face of a limitless reality and causes flaws in our measurements. We have outer perception, our bodily senses, and inner perception, which are thoughts that are generated by reflecting on experiences with outer perception. Our perception has an energy field (perception field or field of perception) that extends beyond our bodies that is generated and sustained by First Motion interacting with Static Matter. Our field of perception touches all possible paths around us when not focused down one path by our bodily senses.
[] Perception Field - explains the function and limits of our bodily senses and the experiences and behaviors resulting from stimulation of the senses.
[] Perception Field (Static Matter view) - is an energy field (perception field or field of perception) that extends beyond our bodies that is generated and sustained by First Motion and linked to our central nervous system. It functions in two capacities, passively unfocused (measurable by quantum mechanical methods) and actively focused (measurable by classical mechanical methods). When it is passively unfocused it touches all possible paths around us. When the perception field is actively focused it is being directed and limited to one path by our bodily senses. Our field of perception touches all possible paths around us when not focused down one path by our bodily senses. Paths or pathways here refer to paths of least resistance created by static particle arrangements that our conscious motion is more likely to follow.
[] Perspective - an observer's point of view from a place in time. Perspectives are meant to change. It has no definition without time, motion, space, and an observer.
[] Predetermined Order - means every possible thing in reality already exists and is perfectly ordered. Past, present, and future are waiting to be perceived, not created. We know future order exists. If it didn't, our next step would be into chaos. There is no disorder in reality. We only experience disorder through relative concepts which are a product of conscious motion and time.
[] Principle of First Motion - see First Motion.
[] Principles of Static Matter- there are two; Number one, the Principle of First Motion, which declares our conscious motion or time is the only verifiable source of motion in reality because it is self-evident. Number two, Material Reality simply resists disorder at every scale (which is another way to define gravity) and the only force acting against material reality is our conscious motion (First motion). See Gravity and First Motion for more details.
[] Quantum Entanglement - is the phenomenon of a group of particles being generated, interacting, or sharing spatial proximity in a manner such that the quantum state of each particle of the group cannot be described independently of the state of the others, including when the particles are separated by a large distance. Sourced from Wikipedia. [] (Static Matter view) Quantum Entanglement is how our perception quantizes energy, and these entangled pathways appear to us like solid object when they are actually quantized energy. Our own perception creates this phenomenon because our perception is caused by two different kinds of motion, First Motion, which is the unstoppable flow of time that we perceive as active consciousness, and secondary motion, with is our bodily motion that we can control to a degree. These two types of motion interact through our central nervous system, and this two-step process of perception quantizes energy for us by creating entangled pathways or coordinates in space and time.
[] Quantum Mechanics - describes the behavior of nature at and below the scale of atoms. It is one of two theories upon which all modern physics rests.
[] Redshift (current view) - is when the wavelength increases and the frequency decreases in the photon energy of electromagnetic radiation. Seeing it implies a distant object in space is moving away from the observer. It is also an effect of time dilation. (Static Matter view) - redshift is an illusion caused by our limited perception slowing down as it meets more resistance across long distances.
[] Secondary Motion - is bodily motion or object motion. It reflects our conscious motion (First Motion) as it encounters static particle arrangements. It is the illusion of motion outside of our consciousness. Everything we currently know about the physical world was developed by observing Secondary Motion. It can also be thought of as classical mechanics.
[] Senses, sensory, and physical sensation - are all referring to our limited bodily senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. They are limited because they cannot sense everything in reality at once. In other words, they have a limited range and are the physical aspect of our perception.
[] Stop-Motion Phenomena - is how our conscious motion brings reality to life by hitting particle arrangements (or snapshots of entangle energy) in an orderly fashion along our limited timeline. It's comparable to how a flip book can bring static images to life by viewing them quickly in a sequence.
[] Static Matter- all matter in the universe, perceived and unperceived, that doesn't move or change because reality is the sum of all things. Thus nothing can be added or taken away from it. It is defined by the law of conservation of mass.
[] Static Matter Theory - atoms do not move, are infinite, and cannot be directly measured. They are the sum of all possible things. Static Matter Theory declares that the motion of matter is a reflection of the motion of our consciousness. Consciousness is First Motion, or the only true source of motion in reality. Everything else is a reflection of how our consciousness interacts with static matter.
[] Static Universe (not part of Static Matter Theory) - Einstein's Static Universe idea is where he was attempting to use finite concepts like time and space (geometry) to measure an infinite universe. This is where the Cosmological Constant Problem came from. According to Wikipedia's entry for Static universe, "In cosmology, a static universe (also referred to as stationary, infinite, static infinite or static eternal) is a cosmological model in which the universe is both spatially and temporally infinite, and space is neither expanding nor contracting. Such a universe does not have so-called spatial curvature; that is to say that it is 'flat' or Euclidean." This idea is attempting to create something that is limited and infinite, and that is a contradiction.
[] Theory of Everything - is not yet completed. The current biggest problem in physics is the lack of a theory that connects every aspect of the universe together. Right now, physics relies on two different theories to explain how reality works; they are general relativity and quantum mechanics.
[] Time - is a product of our conscious motion (or First Motion) and is defined by a past, present, and future position. It is relative to an observer and cannot be separated from motion.
[] Totality, The Whole, Infinite - a metaphysical concept that means the sum of all things. It cannot be measured because it has no limits. It cannot be created or destroyed. It cannot change thus it cannot move. Material reality is considered infinite because atoms cannot be created or destroyed.
[] Thoughts - the action or process of thinking. They cannot be directly measured. Thoughts can also be an image, a feeling, an idea, or a concept in the mind's eye. Thought is a product of perception and the final element in consciousness. Thought is a mysterious, self-evident phenomena in the mind's eye that cannot be directly measured or explained, thus it appears to defy the laws of physics.
