Extractions: PAID ADVERTISEMENTS At the Intersection of "Metaphysical Naturalism" and "Intelligent Design" by Bill Schultz Table of Contents Introduction I presume most of my readers would believe there is no common ground between the concepts of "metaphysical naturalism" and "intelligent design."[ ] In fact, one dictionary definition of naturalism goes so far as to exclude any teleological facts from the domain of naturalism.[ ] But in my mind, that goes too far. If naturalism has a true antonym, it is supernaturalism: the belief that some sort of "higher power" has the ability to create, destroy, ignore, or break the physical laws of nature "at will." The essence of my assertions herein is that "intelligent design" can occur without violating the bedrock principles of "metaphysical naturalism." In other words, you can have our universe be the product of "intelligent design" and yet never require any supernatural phenomena to effect the "intelligent design" of our universe. Because I think most of my readers would disbelieve the essence of the previous paragraph, I ask you disbelievers to please willingly suspend your disbelief and read on through this essay while at least entertaining the possibility that I could be correct in this regard. I intend to relate a story of the possible here; a story which cannot be disproved by anything currently known by both science and the believers in "intelligent design." It is true there is no direct evidence in favor of what I propose herein, unless you consider all that we know to be that "direct evidence." My essential premise is this:

Extractions: While general relativity and the Standard Model of particle physics are very different in many ways, they have one important thing in common: both are gauge theories. I will not attempt to explain what a gauge theory is here. I just want to recommend the following nice book on the early history of this subject: 1) Lochlainn O'Raifeartaigh, The Dawning of Gauge Theory, Princeton U. Press, Princeton, 1997. This contains the most important early papers on the subject, translated into English, together with detailed and extremely intelligent commentary. It starts with Hermann Weyl's 1918 paper "Gravitation and Electricity", in which he proposed a unification of gravity and electromagnetism. This theory was proven wrong by Einstein in a one-paragraph remark which appears at the end of Weyl's paper - Einstein noticed it would predict atoms of variable size! - but it highlighted the common features of general relativity and Maxwell's equations, which were later generalized to obtain the modern concept of gauge theory. It also contains Theodor Kaluza's 1921 paper "On the Unification Problem of Physics" and Oskar Klein's 1926 paper "Quantum Theory and Five-Dimensional Relativity". These began the trend, currently very popular in string theory, of trying to unify forces by postulating additional dimensions of spacetime. It's interesting how gauge theory has historical roots in this seemingly more exotic notion. The original Kaluza-Klein theory assumed a 5-dimensional spacetime, with the extra dimension curled into a small circle. Starting with 5-dimensional general relativity, and using the U(1) symmetry of the circle, they recovered 4-dimensional general relativity coupled to a U(1) gauge theory - namely, Maxwell's equations. Unfortunately, their theory also predicted an unobserved spin-0 particle, which was especially problematic back in the days before mesons were discovered.

Extractions: Week of Feb. 19, 2000; Vol. 157, No. 8 , p. 122 Peter Weiss Only 2 years ago, the idea of extra dimensions inhabited a nebulous region somewhere between physics and science fiction. Energy spike from a gluon stands alone because a graviton has fled into extra dimensions, taking energy with it. This simulation models an experiment planned for the Tevatron accelerator, slated to start up again in 2001. Maria Spiropulu/Harvard U. Many physicists had already begun to see the up-and-coming string theory as the next major step for theoretical physics. In that theory, everything in the universe is composed of tiny loops, or strings, of energy vibrating in a space-time that has six or seven extra dimensions beyond the seemingly endless three standard dimensions of space and one of time. Conveniently, however, those extra dimensions are compactified, as physicists say, crumpled up in a space so small as to be unobservable. The idea that extra dimensions might be largerperhaps detectablewas something that scientists mostly talked about "late at night, after a lot of wine," says Gordon L. Kane, a theorist from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Kane therefore felt he was walking on the wild side when he penned a fictional news story about experimenters discovering extra dimensions.

Extractions: Index Site: http://www.fh-furtwangen.de/~webers/index.htm Kosmische Membran STEFAN VON WEBER The paper uses Gamovs model of the expanding cosmos, which seems to be well suitable to show pupils how gravitation and curvature of space act together. The proposed cosmic membrane model of gravitation is of type Kaluza-Klein with non-compactified fourth spatial dimension and delivers Newtons law of gravitation in a direct way. From the point of view of the choosen model the General Relativity is a projection of the 4-dimensional space into the 4-dimensional spacetime.

Nach dieser Theorie verformt jeder massehaltige K¶rper diese Raumzeit: so f¼hrt die Masse der Erde beispielsweise dazu, dass die Zeit f¼r einen Apfel ganz oben auf dem Apfelbaum ein klein wenig schneller vergeht als f¼r den Physiker, der im Schatten dieses Baumes arbeitet, und wenn der Apfel herunterf¤llt, erf¤hrt er diese Verformung der Zeit. Es ist die Kr¼mmung der Raumzeit, die die Erde auf ihrer Bahn h¤lt und die auch die Bewegung der Galaxien beherrscht. Die Kaluza-Klein-Theorie und die String-Theorie postulieren die Existenz zus¤tzlicher Dimensionen des Raums, ¼ber die drei Dimensionen hinaus, die unserer Wahrnehmung zug¤nglich sind. Bildlich vorstellen kann man sich diese winzigen Dimensionen als einen Raum, der aus einer sehr feinen, sehr langen R¶hren besteht. Aus einem gewissen Abstand erscheint eine solche R¶hre als eindimensionale Linie, doch unter Vergr¶erung wird die zylindrische Natur der R¶hre sichtbar. Jeder - nulldimensionale - Punkt dieser Linie entpuppt sich als eindimensionaler Kreis um die R¶hre. In Kaluza-Kleins urspr¼nglicher Theorie ist jeder Punkt des ¼blichen dreidimensionalen Raumes in Wirklichkeit ein winziger Kreis.
