Fundamental laws
Space and time, motion, energy, symmetries and conservation laws.
A scientific and educational project of CTPA
KOINOT
From the fundamental laws of nature to matter, life, humanity and the Universe.
The portal presents modern scientific knowledge as an integrated picture of the world. Where substantially different interpretations exist, the standard scientific picture and the CTPA interpretation are presented in parallel and compared using the same criteria.
Scientific Picture of the World
From fundamental laws to matter, life, humanity and the Universe.
Matter and fields
Elementary particles, atoms, nuclei, molecules and physical fields.
Stars and galaxies
Stellar evolution, compact objects, galaxies and large-scale structure.
Universe
Cosmology, cosmic history and open problems.
Earth and planets
Earth as a planet, the Solar System, exoplanets and conditions for life.
Life
Chemical foundations of life, cells, evolution and complex organisms.
Humanity and mind
Human origins, brain, thought, consciousness and artificial intelligence.
Scientific knowledge
Fact, theory, model, hypothesis, testing, error and scientific revolutions.

KOINOT GUIDE
A Short Guide to How Our World Is Built
A few particles, a few interactions — then step by step we build atoms, matter, planets, stars, galaxies and the Universe.

KOINOT VISUALS
The first illustration package has been added
The portal now includes 6 draft science infographics on particles, interactions, matter, the cosmos, scales, and relativistic collapse.

Comparison
Comparative presentation
Common empirical basis → two interpretations → direct comparison → testable differences.

Standard picture
Standard contemporary picture
Current mainstream formulation and its observational basis.
CTPA interpretation
CTPA interpretation
Alternative formulation developed in the Center, presented on the same empirical basis.
How can they be distinguished? Each comparative page will identify the exact conceptual difference, assumptions, predictions and possible observational or experimental tests.
