Physics to date has largely followed the intuition of Democritus: that the universe is composed of fundamental particles, with a defined spatial position.
Process physics is seen to realise Wheeler's suggested informational 'it from bit' program via the sequence: 'bit -> gebit -> qubit -> it', but only by modelling Goedelian incompleteness at the bit level.
Process physics is at the same time deeply bio-logical - reality is revealed as a self-organising, evolving and competitive information system; at all levels reality has evolved processes for replicating information.

 Sepp Hasslberger: Process Physics Finds Absolute Motion In 3-Space
Many of the open questions in physics seem to be finding answers with the introduction of Process Physics, which according to Professor Reginald Cahill of the School of Chemistry, Physics and Earth Sciences at Flinders University in Adelaide, is "a dynamic model...
It is called Process Physics because it uses a process model of time rather than, as in current physics, a non-process geometrical model of time, a model so successfully developed and used by Galileo, Newton, Einstein and others that for many physicists the phenomenon of time is actually identified with this geometrical model.
There is no journal called "Process in Physics" and I am getting kind of tired of the "pathological skepticism" of this anonymous "dr.Inpain" or "Dr Pain" as he variously calls himself.

In the process, I will define the arrow of time?a problem long ignored by GR?and show that it is not a dimension of geometry as assumed by most fifth-graders and older, but an irreversible process of change entirely distinct from the expansion of three-dimensional space.
In Process Physics we start from the premise that the limits to logic, which are implied by G?del's incompleteness theorems, mean that any attempt to model reality via a formal system is doomed to failure.
The last phrase, "such information is internally meaningful," has particular significance to Process thought in general, as this is a basic premise of process, that there is an interior mental (subjective) aspect to even the most fundamental entities in addition to its physical (objective) appearance.

 Theoretical Principles of Plasma Physics and Atomic Physics
Collision Frequency: The concept of a collision frequency is probably the most important one in plasma physics (and the physics of gases in general) when it comes to assessing the significance of the individual physical processes.
Of these, the free-free processes (which are thought to be responsible for Bremsstrahlung and Synchrotron Radiation), can be discounted as fictitious: the emission of radiation can not be explained in a logically consistent manner by the acceleration of charged particles, as it would make the emission dependent on the state of motion of the observer.
However, experimental evidence shows that collisional excitation is a resonant process characterized by a sharply peaked cross section identical with the cross section for resonant scattering of light for the same transition (see /research/reschem.htm).

Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended...
Process Physics models reality as an iterative process in which time is more fundamental than space, and attempts to show that this iterative process would lead to the development of a three dimensional space which supports the existence of waves and matter.
As i see it, a process requires something to exist that is interconnected and changes in a logical way.

 Physics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Physics (from the Greek, φύσις (phúsis), "nature" and φυσική (phusiké), "knowledge of nature") is the science concerned with the discovery and understanding of the fundamental laws which govern matter and energy.
That is, physics deals with the elementary constituents of the Universe and their interactions, as well as the analysis of systems which are best understood in terms of these fundamental principles.
Applied physics is physics that is intended for a particular technological or practical use, as for example in engineering, as opposed to basic research.

This process couples analysis of the intellectual structure of the discipline, research on students' reasoning and understanding of physical principles, and development of new courses and new pedagogical tools and approaches.
Modeling physical systems: Many traditional physics courses emphasize manipulating formulas and solving idealized, sanitized textbook problems, which do not give students experience in the process of modeling complex physical systems, an activity lying at the heart of physics.
Central to such activities is the development of a deep qualitative understanding of fundamental physical principles, and the development of skill in identifying assumptions, making approximations, and simplifying and idealizing complex situations.

 Buddhist Channel | Healing & Spirituality | A Relationship Between Moving Reality and Static Constructions of Logic?
The becoming or processing model of reality dates back to Heraclitus of Ephesus (540-480 BCE) who argued that common sense is mistaken in thinking that the world consists of stable things; rather the world is in a state of flux.
With process physics western science and philosophy is now able to move beyond the moribund non-process mindset.
In theWest the process system approach to reality was developed, much later, by such process philosophers as Peirce, James, Bergson and Whitehead to name a few, although their achievements were very limited and substantially flawed, limited as they were by the physical phenomena known to them.

 The Finite Nature Hypothesis of Edward Fredkin
If all of space-time and all physical processes are fundamentally discrete, then for any given unit of space-time (i.e., for any volume of anything, or even a volume of nothing) there will be a limited, finite number of combinations that will describe all of the possible states of everything contained within that volume.
The computer's process of transition, unknown to Zeno, is not reflected by the state of the computer's memory itself, but exists in the abstract application of the rule or rules.
Accordingly, this process whereby the cellular automaton is "computing its future as fast as possible" effectively mimics "the apparent randomness of quantum mechanical processes" and satisfies the condition that the result should be random in the sense that it is unknowable even in principle.

By limiting investigation to exclusively "physical" effects, we are missing out on our chance to reach a deeper understanding of the universe.
This is a different and more correct perspective than the conventional view in physics, in which space-time is the theater or "stage" on which physical change happens.
In his Scale Expanding Cosmos model, Masreliez postulates that the universe is constantly and incrementally changing scale, but the increase is imperceptible because the change in space metrics is accompanied by a corresponding change in the metric of time, so for us who are inhabiting the universe, things remain the same.

 Meme: Response to Cahill's "Process Physics"
This page examines the notion of "Process Physics" as defined in a substantive paper Process Physics: From Information Theory to Quantum Space and Matter by Associate Professor Reginald T Cahill, the deputy head of the School of Chemistry, Physics and Earth Sciences at The Flinders University in Adelaide, South Australia.
There is a macro scale physical claim that gravity is due to mass acting as a sink for turbulent aether flow as an alternative to "dark matter" in accounting for "anomalous" velocity data and thereby inferred acceleration at galactic scales.
Unfortunately the prevailing wisdom in and about the theoretical physics community is that a "theory of everything" is at hand which might allow the physical universe to be accurately modeled by a single equation or a single simple program.

I believe it was Cahill who first pointed out that the lack of measurements of Dark Matter for spherical clusters may just be because Newtonian Theory works for spherical galaxies but not spiral galaxies where the lack of the non-symmetric terms in the theories of gravity results in the supposition of Dark Matter.
And if these three "fringe" physicists turn out to be correct, that does not necessarily mean that Process Physics is correct.
