The Institute for Advanced Studies in Theoretical Physics is involved in scientific research for the purposes of advancing scientific knowledge in the field of physics known as Informativity. 

 

Our Mission

Our mission is to make available to the public and scientific community the results of that research. We enable our mission through public and institutional speaking events, through our journal, "Informativity", through lectures, online publications, conferences and online research.

What is Informativity?

Informativity is a field of physics that uses the quantization of measurement to unite classical and quantum physics. Informativity is the result of nearly three decades of research into the nature of gravity by Jody Geiger. It is the only theoretical framework to have accurately described the strength of gravity at all distances, described the birth and expansion of the universe, provide a single descriptive nomenclature to unite gravity with electromagnetism and provided a simple straight-forward understanding of both dark matter and dark energy.

What is Measurement quantization?

Measurement Quantization (MQ) is a novel mathematical nomenclature that considers measurement as discrete counts of fundamental units rather than as a continuum.

We use the MQ framework to revisit basic principles of classical mechanics. Notably, we do not entertain new physics, nor do we entertain modeling or approximations. That is, we take an approach that is unique to all existing published literature. There is no implementation of Riemann geometry, thus no LQG or extension of Riemann’s work. There is no string theory, M-theory or any derivative of that work. There is no MOND, modeling or approximations. There is no underlying premise that then requires support with physical correlation. In short, there is nothing above our most basic understanding of those principles that define classical mechanics — just the recasting of classical solutions to motion and electromagnetism within the novel MQ framework.

Published research is presented with as pure an approach as possible, letting the reader interpret the classical expressions in the most traditional sense. The concepts used include terms such as length, mass, elapsed time, velocity, acceleration. But even this is vague. We approach classical theory resolving an even more precise understanding of these terms.

For this reason, the approach is qualified as a change in nomenclature. We introduce length not with the symbol l, but as a count nL of a fundamental length lf. The same for time and mass apply. We do not assume that the counts or the fundamental measures have a physical significance. To investigate the properties of measure, we apply the nomenclature to existing classical expressions. Only after such an investigation do we discover that the dimensional values cancel out leaving us with only the counts. The minimum count values are resolve. Values for the fundamental measures are resolved. And with this process, new expressions describing the physical constants are resolved.

At the core of MQ are ‘frames of reference’, which demonstrate how the application of MQ in the points of view of observer, target and the universe manifests the physical constants and properties of our universe. This is an expanded approach used by Einstein in his publications of both special and general relativity. MQ is grounded with several physical correlations of mathematical description to the observational data. Yet, this approach allows resolution to many of the most confounding issues in modern theory.

What DO WE DO?

The Informativity Institute™ is a premier scientific organization, conducting research into the field of Informativity, educating the scientific community, the public and disseminating scholarship through its journal, the Journal of Informativity.

Researchers employ the principles of MQ along with our traditional understanding of classical mechanics to resolve a discrete understanding of observed phenomena. Notably, at the heart of MQ are three frameworks, necessary for a complete physical description of phenomena: the reference frame, the measurement frame (i.e. some count of the reference) and the target frame. The first two frames are discrete, while the third frame is non-discrete, defined with respect to the system (i.e. the universe). In that the universe has no external reference, it is non-discrete. That is, measure between phenomena in the universe is discrete. Measure with respect to the universe is non-discrete. It is the difference between these two frames that define the laws and constants of nature.   A few examples include:
