First published in 1997, this title is a sequel to Dr Noel Curran's
first book The Logical Universe: The Real Universe (published by
Ashgate under the Avebury imprint, 1994). The philosophy of
mathematics in this book is based on ideas of Sir William Rowan
Hamilton on the ordinal character of numbers, the real numbers, the
measure numbers, scalar numbers and the extension to vectors. The
final extension is to Hamilton's quaternions. This algebra is
interpreted as the mathematics of spin. This led to a a new theory
of time and space which is Euclidian. The motion of spin is
absolute, no frame of reference is required. If time is assumed to
have a beginning it would be asymmetric with an arrow. This concept
is applied to the laws of nature, which are symmetrical. This is
another Copernican Revolution in three aspects: absolute time is
restored, time has an arrow - is asymmetric, and thirdly the theory
is based on the motion of spin which is absolute and more
fundamental than the motion of translation. This opens the way to
the final unification of physics.
