Schelling's Ten Main Points

The universe is an absolute organism.
The whole and every part are organic.
Everything in the universe is ensouled – life permeates everything.
Spirit is the organizing principle of the cosmos.
The absolute organism is a manifestation of the Divine.
All things are contained in God.
The universe is God's self-revelation – his self-intuition and self-knowledge.
Human reason partakes in the divine spirit.
The substance of things is the unity of subject and object.
Knowing and being are identical.
What is known is simultaneously part of the knower.
The real and the ideal, being and consciousness, are inseparable.
The world unfolds as a dynamic sequence of stages.
Development from the so-called inorganic (which as such does not exist) to the organic.
Nature is a living, evolving context – an evolutionary process.
All existence is becoming, nothing is rigid.
Natural events are a dialectical process.
Becoming happens through opposites.
Everything that appears solid is only an expression of inhibited forces.
Matter is a "vortex" of energy or spirit.
In this context, Schelling also sees the basis for electromagnetism.
The world is the self-affirmation of the absolute spirit.
Being is an expression of the divine will.
"Willing is primal being" – the will is the deepest reality.
Herein lies the origin of the later "world-will" in Schopenhauer.
Creation is not a one-time act, but an eternal process.
The world is continually coming into being.
The physical is real, but not the whole reality – there is a deeper spiritual dimension.
Everything is an expression of a living, constantly renewing creation.
The totality of the universe: unity in infinity.
Gravitation (heaviness) is the striving of all things towards the infinite substance.
The goal of the world process is the return of the finite into the Absolute.
The cosmos is ordered towards the self-knowledge of spirit – a teleological process.
Knowledge as recollection (Anamnesis).
Connection to Plato: knowledge is recollection of the spirit's primordial knowledge.
Philosophy is recollection of what the I already knew in the divine primordial ground.
Knowledge means return to oneself.
The human as co-creator and redeemer of nature.
The human bears responsibility for the spiritual perfection of nature.
Freedom is not merely arbitrariness, but the capacity for good and evil.
The human can "redeem" nature by leading it to itself through consciousness.

AndreasThe Forgotten Force of Electromagnetism
The Forgotten Force of Electromagnetism
The Central Claim: Modern electromagnetic theory, as defined by the Maxwell-Lorentz field equations, is incomplete. It omits a fundamental, experimentally-verified force—a longitudinal repulsion between parallel currents—that was central to André-Marie Ampère's original formulation of electrodynamics. This omission, driven by a shift in mathematical convenience rather than empirical disproof, has profound implications for our understanding of how forces operate in the universe.
1. The Empirical Anomaly: Attraction When Repulsion is Expected
The premise begins with a simple experiment. If two coils of wire act as electromagnets, and two bar magnets with like poles repel, then two identical coils with current moving in the same direction should also repel. However, they demonstrably attract. This observable fact contradicts the simplistic bar magnet analogy and serves as the entry point to a deeper mystery.
2. Ampère's Discovery of a Two-Faced Force
Following Ørsted's breakthrough, Ampère didn't just observe current attraction; he developed a full theory. Through precise experiments, he concluded that current elements interact directly via a force with two distinct geometric components:
Transverse Attraction: The sideways, "magnetic" force between parallel current elements.
Longitudinal Repulsion: A push exerted by one current element on another aligned with it head-to-tail.
His most compelling evidence was the helix experiment. The complex geometry of coiled wire means current elements are aligned both side-by-side and head-to-tail. Standard field theory predicts net repulsion. Ampère showed that the combined effect of transverse attraction and longitudinal repulsion results in a net attraction, perfectly explaining the anomaly.
3. The Historical Erasure: Convenience Over Completeness
Ampère's law was not defeated by evidence but sidelined by a changing theoretical paradigm:
Grassmann introduced a mathematical formulation that described only transverse forces, ignoring the longitudinal component.
Neumann shifted focus from forces to energy and potential, an abstraction that buried the mechanical details of Ampère's direct action.
Maxwell and Lorentz cemented the field-based model, where forces are mediated by local fields propagating at light speed. This framework had no mathematical room for Ampère's concept of direct, instantaneous force-at-a-distance. His law was erased from textbooks not because it was wrong, but because it was incompatible with the new formalism.
4. Modern Validation: The Graneau Experiments
The argument is not merely historical. Late 20th-century experiments by Peter Graneau provided modern empirical support. By running high-current pulses through wires, he observed violent longitudinal fragmentation—the wires were torn apart along their length. This effect:
Cannot be explained by standard theory (magnetic pinch crushes radially, resistive heating melts the wire).
Perfectly matches the predictions of Ampère's law, specifically its longitudinal repulsion component.
These peer-reviewed results were debated and ignored, not refuted.
5. The Profound Implications: A Connected Universe
Reinstating Ampère's force is not pedantic; it forces a radical reconsideration of physics:
The Nature of Forces: It challenges the primacy of fields. The "electromagnetic field" may not be the fundamental entity but merely a useful mathematical description of the net effect of countless direct charge interactions. Forces may be immediate, acting at-a-distance, with the wave-like propagation of effects emerging from the distribution of these interactions.
The Primacy of Matter: It suggests that matter itself (the charges), not the empty space between them, is the primary actor in transmitting force.
Cosmic Connectivity: If these interactions are instantaneous (albeit weakening with distance), the vast networks of cosmic currents (e.g., plasma filaments spanning galaxies) could be directly and physically connected. This provides a potential mechanical basis for Mach's principle, where the inertia of an object is influenced by the total matter content of the universe.
Conclusion: Physics has overlooked a fundamental force documented by one of its founders and confirmed by modern experiment. By dismissing Ampère's longitudinal repulsion, we have adopted an elegant but incomplete model of electromagnetism that may blind us to a deeper, more interconnected reality.
