Science—physics, and cosmology in particular—is engaged in the study of Nature across a very wide range of dimensional scales, from the immensely small to what are commonly considered the boundaries of the Universe itself. And we human beings, situated in the middle, observe in both directions—amazed by the immense Complexity that resides both in the infinitesimal and in the infinite.
Among the many dimensional scales and the numerous orders of magnitude, the most significant are undoubtedly those concerning the Dimensionality / Dimensions of Reality: Causality, Spatiality and Temporality. Especially the spatial and temporal dimensional scales, which—as physical quantities—permeate nearly all formalizations that constitute our understanding of Physical Reality.
Causality - Cause
The measure of the causal distance between different Structures / Forms is what we call Complexity: the quantity and quality of Action, produced by the Force acting upon the Field, required to generate that Structure, that Form. In other words, it is the amount of Information that enables the Form to exist in its Essence, in the shape / configuration it possesses at a given moment, in a specific spatial position. Complexity is challenging to quantify, as it depends on qualitative factors and on the history of the Variations undergone by the Field in producing the Form in question.
Spatiality - Space
Observing Nature from a spatial point of view, we can see how broad the spectrum of observable dimensions is, from the smallest particles of ordinary / exotic matter to the confines of the observable universe. But Nature extends spatially far beyond what we can observe, and even far beyond we can imagine. In the small, up to the Planck scale, and even further up to the infinitely small. In the large, up to the borders of the Universe as we imagine it to be today, based on the observations of a very distant past that reaches us today, and makes us calculate immense sidereal distances.
Let's try to give some numbers (in many cases these are approximate estimates, since the observations and theoretical models do not help us too much):
- 10^-∞ meters: the continuum in space dimension
- 10^-35 meters - The Planck scale - Planck length
- 10^-20 to 10^-15 meters - The scale of ordinary matter particles...
- 10^-3 meters - The observed microwave radiation at about 2.7 K (wavelength approximately 2 mm), commonly named "CMB - Cosmic Microwave Background"). Instead of the relics of Big Bang, I hypothesize it represents the black body radiation of the cosmos (the measured slight differences in this temperature represent the spatial distribution of the mass of the Dark Matter / Dark Energy components of the cosmic structures (so called "voids" and "cosmic web")
- 10^0 meters: we, the scale of magnitude of the temporal dimensions of our body, our today life objects
- Stars
- Galaxies
- Clusters of Galaxies
- Superclusters
- Giant voids
- Walls
- The observable Universe
- 10^18 meters -
- 10^∞ meters: despite our observations and models, the Universe is spatially infinite. If we wanted to follow a concept widely used in current science, "naturalness" (a concept that I do not appreciate very much, as it seems rather presumptuous of us to define what Nature, in its infinite complexity, can do or not do, be or non essere), we could say that placing limits on the spatial extension of the Reality in which we live seems absolutely unnatural. Who or what could have set these limits, these boundaries, under what rules, and why?
Resonances -> to be developed....
Temporality - Time
Also from the temporal point of view (temporal distances, intervals, durations) we observe a great variability. From the femto-second scale of chemical-physical reactions up to the supposed age of the Universe.
Here too let's try to give some numbers, assuming an even greater range:
- 10^-∞ seconds:
- 10^-45 seconds - The Planck scale - Planck time-
- 10^0 seconds: we, the scale of magnitude of the temporal dimensions of our life, our today life events
- 10^10 years -
- 10^∞ seconds:
