KOINOT - Universe
From the fundamental laws of nature to matter, life, humanity and the Universe.
Modern scientific knowledge is presented as a unified picture of the world. Where the generally accepted interpretations have had problems or gaps, they are presented together with new solutions and extensions proposed by Z. Zakir at CTPA and then compared by the same criteria.
Scientific Picture of the World
From the fundamental laws of nature to matter, life, humanity and the Universe.
Fundamental laws
Space and time, motion, energy, symmetries, conservation laws, relativity and quantum principles.
Particles, fields and matter
Particles and fields; matter as systems of particles and fields: nuclei, atoms, molecules and condensed states — gases, liquids, solids and plasma.
Stars and galaxies
How gravity forms stars, stellar systems, galaxies and galaxy clusters.
Universe
The Big Bang and the early hot Universe, relic radiation, expansion and spectral redshift, formation of galaxies and clusters, and open problems.
Earth and planets
Chemical elements from primordial, stellar and explosive nucleosynthesis; planets accumulate these elements. Earth is the only known inhabited planet; the Solar System, exoplanets and habitability.
Life
Metabolism as a basis of life. From the chemistry of proteins, RNA and DNA to cells, heredity, evolution, organisms, ecosystems and biological complexity.
Humanity, society and technological progress
Human evolution, thinking and language, society and its history, economics, technology and artificial intelligence.
Scientific knowledge
Facts, hypotheses, models, theories, tests, uncertainties and the formation of the scientific picture of the world.
A Short Guide to How Our World Is Built
A few particles and a few interactions — then step by step we build atoms, matter, planets, stars, galaxies, galaxy clusters and the Universe.
Illustrations for the scientific picture of the physical world
Infographics: particles, interactions, matter, cosmos, scales and stellar collapse.
Comparative presentation
Common empirical basis → two interpretations → direct comparison → testable differences.
Generally accepted modern picture
Current mainstream interpretation and its observational basis.
New interpretation
A new interpretation by Z. Zakir at CTPA based on the same observational facts.
Big questions
One topic — several levels
For everyone → school → university → advanced study → review → original research.
