Beyond the universe

Abstract

Are the stars a beautiful but useless filling of the universe or do they still have some kind of power and deep hidden meaning? This is not about mysticism, but about a very real, physical problem. The Austrian physicist and philosopher Ernst Mach raised this problem, later called Mach's principle, more than a century ago. Albert Einstein hoped to introduce Mach's principle into general relativity but failed. We offer a concise and logical embodiment of Mach's principle in modern physics. The universe is surrounded by a special space in which the laws of motion become completely uncertain, and distance and time lose their physical meaning. We called such a condition of space Chaos, by analogy with the term used by ancient thinkers. The laws of physics and fundamental physical constants change dramatically in Chaos. The entire mass of the stars in the universe acquires a fundamental meaning and determines the values of physical constants. The presentation will present formulas relating the distribution of matter in the universe and the fundamental physical constants, including the speed of light and Planck's constant.
