“Number line universe hypothesis”

Although it was thought for a long time that matter is made up of atoms that cannot be further divided, as time passed, we found through experiments that atoms could be progressively further divided into smaller particles, namely atoms divided into atomic nuclei and electrons, atomic nuclei divided into protons and neutrons, and these divided into quarks and neutrinos.

Will mankind be able to find the true single element that cannot be divided any further?

My hypothesis is that we cannot discover such a thing.

If the entire universe is explained from the standpoint of 0=1 as described above, then although the universe is the universal set of zero, in other words, the universal set or the “universal set of the empty set”, the universe being the universal set of zero means the universal set of the empty set is the complementary set of the universal set of the empty set. Although the “complementary set of the universal set of the empty set” originally meant “the universal set that is not the empty set”, it is actually the same as the “universal set of the empty set”.

In other words, if we look at the set that has the single element 1 and the set that has the single element 0, the states of these two sets are exactly the same when we look at their universal sets. From the standpoint of 1, this is the world that is visible when the universal set of zero is represented by 100% as a percentage, while at the same time since the element itself is only zero, the world that is 100% zero exists, and the question of what exists is a paradox where things exist that do not actually exist.

Therefore, although the search for even smaller particles means taking a number infinitesimally close to 0, since a number N dash can be taken between zero and some number N on the number line, and we can obtain N dash dash between 0 and N dash and so on any number of times, fundamentally an ultimate single element does not exist, and we can get as infinitesimally close to 0 as we like. This is what we get when we speak in terms of the number line concept.

Conversely, surely we can discover something that we can call the zero element that constitutes perfect 0.

Even if the entire universe starts from zero, in other words, the set of the zero element, although the fact that the act of speech by people is speech related to the zero element is a linguistic phenomenon based on the laws of physics of people, we still cannot speak about the zero element that precedes the laws of physics. This is because, although languages that have laws and languages that are based on laws of physics are only able to similarly speak about phenomena based on laws of physics, since the zero element does not contain the elements of the laws of physics themselves, linguistic phenomena cannot be approached by observation of zero or of the laws of physics therein. Therefore, although it is possible to get infinitesimally close to 0, it is not possible to speak about zero itself.

However, if we try to find a smallest element, we do not arrive at a single element that uniformly explains the entire universe no matter how far we go, and the attempt is not useful.

I therefore tried considering another method.

If we assume that a phenomenological universe world is created based on the laws of physics when the set of the zero element is 100%, then when it becomes 1 at a percentage of 100%, even if 0 itself creates the phenomenological universe, since the structural elements of the created universe constitute only zero, then looking back, we should expect the linguistic phenomenon to be able to speak about 0, which makes up the linguistic phenomenon itself, which is contained in the phenomena in the universe.

If the entire universe is made up of zero, then since linguistic phenomena are also included in the phenomena inside the universe, if the structural elements of the linguistic phenomena match the part that is zero, it is possible that we are able to speak about the zero that is the same structural element as the linguistic phenomena. We cannot discover a single element that makes up the universe. We ultimately arrive at the idea that there is only zero, which is not discoverable. The reason for this is that zero does not exist. However, when we arrive at the idea that zero cannot be found, then we arrive for the first time at the single element that makes up the universe: the zero element.

However, if we ignore the zero element and try to discover other elementary particles or single elements, then since we can obtain 0 and N, or N dash between 0 and N, or N dash dash between those, or N dash dash dash between those, and so on any number of times as described above, then we can find particles that are as small as we like. However, this may be endless. Although I previously stated that “the universal set of the empty set that does not contain anything is the same as the complementary set of the universal set of the empty set”, ultimately the universe that does not contain a single thing is the same as the universe that does not contain anything nonexistent.
