These earliest detected cold intergalactic voids (dark blue) vs. early "galactic hot
emitters", which had radiated somewhat similar winds into these small, cold, early
expanding-cooling voids, COULD NOT REVERSE the EINSTEIN-HUBBLE WORLD EXPANSION
SINCE GENESIS, Fig. 4.
Gradually, as number and intensities of most emitters has increased, the stellar-
galactic winds, Figs. 1, 2, 3, have generated stronger, independent, second, uniform,
simultaneously boosting of the world expansion, gradually reversing the slowing down of
the big-bang-inertia-expansion into the currently observed, slightly accelerating
expansion of the universe. [Image Source: Cosmic background radiation records that have
been verified since 1964.].

EINSTEIN:
“It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. It
was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion.
A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of
the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which are only accessible to our
reason in their most elementary forms -- it is this knowledge and this emotion that
constitute the truly religious attitude;
in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man.”
“I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the
type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical
death is also beyond my comprehension, nor do I wish it otherwise; such notions are for
the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls.”
“Enough for me the mystery of the eternity of life, and the inkling of the marvelous
structure of reality, together with the single-hearted endeavor to comprehend a portion,
be it never so tiny, of the reason that manifests itself in nature.”
“I gang my own gait and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or
even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties I have never
lost an obstinate sense of detachment, which increases with age.”.
“One is sharply conscious, yet without regret, of the limits to the possibility of mutual
understanding and sympathy with one's fellow-creatures. Such a person no doubt loses
something in the way of geniality and light-heartedness; on the other hand, he is largely
independent of the opinions, habits, and judgments of his fellows.”
In lieu of the aforementioned personal-life and philosophy-faith, Einstein consistently
selected to protect his privacy inside his room, in his house, working in maximized-
freedom, undisturbed solitude; even sleeping naked in his room while his privacy has
been strictly guarded by his devoted secretary Helen Dukas, who also screened his
incoming mail, deleted nasty or anti-Semitic letters and politely blocking unwanted
visitors. Einstein is also known for his subtle sarcasm.

Before Einstein left Hitler’s Germany to the United States, a professor in Berlin was
extremely nasty in targeting him. One day Einstein was informed that Professor XXX just
died. Einstein’s reaction:
“Everyone does something good in his life, even Professor XXX; he died.
Einstein's "Anti-Pomposity"; Anti-"Politically Correct"
As a younger man he used to play his beloved violin in the homes of some
German women. One day, while he was playing there, they started knitting.
Einstein stopped playing, packed his violin to leave, and apologized:
“I would not even dream to disturb you from your knitting work.
”On another occasion, as a celebrity living in his house near a lake outside Berlin, his wife
urged him to change his simple, but comfortable home dress, to a formal one, for
dignitaries are to arrive soon to visit him. His response:
let them meet me as I am dressed and work in my house.
If they come to see my formal dress
please show them my closet.

"I do not know a better modern expression of science, philosophy and classical humanism than that of
Gal-Or’s book." HaAretz Daily
"We are all Gal-Orians ! Editor, Foundations of Physics
"Gal-Or’s “beauty” has always been the object of science, which, he lyrically observes as “a most
fundamental aesthetic frame of mind, a longing for the run-away horizons of truth and
symmetry that we always try to reach.”

"The works of scientists like Gal-Or, Bohm, and (Noble Prize-Winner) Prigogine provide important
resources. Prigogine's formalisms do not really tell us how irreversible change emerges from reversible
[mathematics]. (in this Gal-Or is superior)." The Crisis of the Sciences
"Einstein's time-symmetric tensor was elevated by Gal-Or’s “New Astronomical School of Unified
Thermodynamics” to the status of the source of “Master Asymmetry” controlling not only irreversible
thermodynamics, but all physical and biological phenomena!
Gal-Or calls “GRAVITISM” (his philosophy) that gravitation is the prime cause of structures,
irreversibility, time, geo-chemical and biological evolution -- that the expansion of the universe is the
cause of the second law of thermodynamics -- that microscopic physics, and thermodynamics in
particular, cannot be understood without reference to cosmology.
He ties “irreversibility” to the “expansion of space itself”, i.e. as far as space is expanding, the
contribution of all kinds of radiation in space is weakened “irreversibly” due to the expansion
phenomenon itself.
Such loss, or “degradation” of energy in the depth of inter-cluster expanding space, may then be
considered as a universal sink for all the radiation flowing out of the material bodies in the expanding
universe.” Advancement of Physics
“I have in the meantime studied your (unclassified, theoretical-philosophical) book, with great
interest, and made pages of notes on it.
I feel as if I had been on numerous walks and talks with you on the great questions, and know that
would be great to go on with them!
Who cannot be impressed by your love for the great men of all times and all countries, by your
phrase “working back and forth between theory and fact”, by your belief that philosophy is too
important to be left to the philosophers, by your concern for where thought and language lie in the
scheme of things – and by so much more!
I continue to reflect, again and again, on your central thesis that expansion is the origin of all
asymmetry in time.
What an ingenious phrase is your,
“smuggle irreversibility in without declaring the contraband”!
I regard your book as seeking to accomplish two tasks – and being two books – at the very least
One is the exposition of your central thesis, with clarity, and careful mustering of every argument pro
and con that can lead to testable consequences.
I don’t see how it is possible to do proper justice to a thesis of such importance by mixing it in with
the other great task.
That is to give students an appreciation of the unity of philosophy and modern physics.
You do both tasks far better than I could hope to. I give you my personal thanks for putting the two
books into a package that I personally have found most thought-provoking.”

“Gal-Or's remarkable book sees and seizes the world whole. He emphasizes that all scientists (and
technologists) operate under some set of philosophical prejudices, and that failure to acknowledge this
is self-delusion.
Furthermore, he argues that a failure to attend to the philosophical base of physics leads to an empty
scientism.
His work is challenging on many levels, constituting a review 'with derivations' of general relativity 'as
applied to cosmology', thermodynamics, the current state of theoretical particle physics,
astrophysics, as well as a summary history of western philosophy, 'especially the
philosophies of time and mind' and critiques of western society, the intelligentsia and the relationship
between academic science and government.
One 'and perhaps the central' theme explored, is that of the interplay between symmetry and
asymmetry (in science and defense).
His primary interest is not in the recent progress in the unification of forces in gauge theory,
although he finds support in it for his Einsteinian outlook, but is rather time, time's arrow, and the
asymmetry between past and future.
Around time are accumulated discussions, both mathematical and philosophical, of thermodynamic
reversibility, time reversibility, the nature of causality, and the use of advanced and retarded solutions
to wave equations.
The second major theme is that of gravity and its overwhelming domination of the actual form of the
universe, at all scales.
The combination of these themes is not accidental; they are point and counterpoint to his thesis that
the time asymmetries are connectable to and perhaps even determined by the master asymmetry given
by the gravity of general relativity:
the remorseless cosmological expansion. He argues that only the expansion can provide the unification
of time asymmetries. The expansion provides, among other things, an UNSATURABLE
SINK for radiation, which, in turn, permits the establishment of gradients in temperature and density,
which provide the basis for the physical process that leads to life.
THE BOOK "criticizes the sloppy and improper use of the concepts of entropy 'and the related notions
in 'information theory' and quantum indeterminism, especially as covers for an inadequate
understanding of temporal asymmetries.
Taking an Einsteinian position on the interpretation of quantum mechanics, he looks forward to
revitalization of Einstein's quest for a deterministic interpretation of quantum events.
"The value of this book lies in the challenging combination of ideas which Gal-Or presents, which
goes far beyond what can be sensibly described in a review. [This] work may be too large to digest as a
text in these days of the decline of academic institutions 'as Gal-Or describes them', but that will be the
loss of both the faculty and the students.” "
