Of a nonlocal cause and its effects 2

Abstract [updated 3.01.2012]

A requirement of a ‘theory of everything’ could be that it should explain, in terms of cause and effect, how the universe is of a certain form as radiant energy, atoms and molecules of the elements and compounds of matter, species of living organisms, galaxies of stars and planetary systems, and groups, clusters and walls of galaxies around cosmic voids.  Also, given that the universe has expanded over some 13.7 billion years from a very small and dense ‘Big Bang’ origin, the theory should account for how this expansion and its measured acceleration occurred, and how the universe evolved into its form as astronomically observed.
    An experimentally testable, self-styled theory of everything that assumes only the action of the known forces, and would unify the four fundamental interactions or general relativity with quantum theory, has yet to be developed.  Whereas from the experimental evidence of quantum behaviour we find reasons to ask: to explain how matter can be and remain in all its various forms as atoms and molecules, would not a distinct additional cause to any force need to be described to explain quantum wave, spin and entanglement behaviour?  And if so, could the action of such a further cause explain the astronomical observations that have so far been accounted for by postulating yet to be directly detected or identified dark matter and energy?  Then also, might not problems of mind and consciousness be solved by considering how a distinct invisible cause could act upon living organisms in addition to the known forces?  From the evidence found of quantum behaviour alone, only various and conflicting interpretations have been developed to account for the observable experimental findings.  But one is the causal hidden variables interpretation de Broglie-Bohm, where the quantum wave is described in detail as a distinct cause from its effects upon quantum objects as particles in motion, and quantum wave behaviour  can be regarded as being of a certain universal form  that occurs independently of any known force
    Here we justify and develop a quantum hypothesis that introduces means of describing and visually representing unique properties of a cause where it would act with no measurable strength and without surrounding objects. Only with this hypothesis are we then able to find available larger scale evidence to clearly suggest that a detailed general theory can be developed. This theoretical account requires considering radiant energy, atoms and molecules and their subatomic components, living organisms and much that has been discovered by recent astronomical observation and research.  All this evidence thus needs to be examined together to find and sufficiently justify details of the cause to definitely show both that and how it acts anywhere in addition to the known forces.  This theoretical development thus indicates how causal properties deduced from our quantum hypothesis can be applied to all the evidence we examine.  We also describe new experiments that could be performed and further support the theory.
