Cybernetical physics Part I: “Feynman's paradox” and its implications

Abstract

Purpose

Feynman's claim that a positron is an electron moving backwards in time implies a paradox. The purpose of this paper (Part I of II) is to prevent the contradiction in physics due to this paradox.

Design/methodology/approach

Both physical considerations and neuropsychological considerations are applied.

Findings

The physical considerations imply that assuming multidimensionality of time prevents Feynman's paradox and additional physical paradoxes. This multidimensionality in explained by neuropsychological considerations.

Practical implications

A suggested method of obtaining unlimited quantity of clean energy based on the principle of annihilating matter and antimatter is presented in Part II.

Originality/value

This theory is entirely new. Its approach is different from that of other approaches to the multidimensionality of time.
