Examination

to the General Theory of Information
on the unification of the theory of relativity with quantum mechanics
by the artist Dieter Walter Liedtke

Preamble

The task of this expert opinion is not to give an opinion on the research methods of the inventor artist Dieter Liedtke or in any other way to take a position on how he comes to his results. Rather, in my capacity as professor of physics, it is a matter of examining the conclusiveness of Dieter Liedtke's Unified Theory of Information under the postulated premises of physical origin for information, space, time, gravity, energy, matter and the universe and of giving a brief, summarizing description of this theory.

In order to get closer to Dieter Liedtke's research, his thinking and his innovations, I will first of all refer to another area, art, whose central characteristic is innovation. I do this with respect for science and art, but especially for Albert Einstein, probably the most important physicist of the 20th century, who wrote about the connection between the two disciplines: "Where the world ceases to be the scene of personal hope, desire and will, where we confront it as free creatures admiring, questioning, looking, we enter the realm of art and science. If what we have seen and experienced is reproduced in the language of logic, then we pursue science, if it is mediated by forms whose connections are inaccessible to conscious thinking, but intuitively recognized as meaningful, then we pursue art."

This is what the art historian Karl Ruhrberg¹ says about Dieter Liedtke's works:

It is not the detail that seems important to him, but the overall perspective. This is also expressed in the creative process, in the way he deals with the materials seemingly carelessly and intuitively. This is the religious, metaphysical, timeless level of Dieter W. Liedtke. The fourth dimension. The viewer experiences this philosophical level from the holistic comprehension of his works. It opens up a level of information for the natural scientist, which can show him new approaches and theories for scientific experiments and new paths of knowledge from Liedtke's works.

The Swiss curator Harald Szeemann² compares him with the greatest and most innovative artist of the Renaissance:

Dieter Liedtke is ideology-free positive energy, completely creative and himself a work of art. Leonardo da Vinci has found a successor in him.

Even less than with other artists, Dieter Liedtke's person can be separated from the work, since he is not only an artist, but also a researcher and inventor/designer, with his works of art occupying a central position as a medium of communication and reflection, which he uses for describing and depicting, to record impulses as well as for depicting his complex ideas. Therefore, a few sentences will be dedicated to his person.

I know Dieter Liedtke as an artist and inventor of the Art Formula as well as curator of the art open exhibition since 1996.

The choice of topics by my students for their diploma theses brought me even closer to his work. I would like to mention one project in particular, in which Dieter Walter Liedtke's art formula was used to create a CD-Rom program in order to decipher the works of art history through the visual representation of the innovations they represent, thus demonstrating evolution in art for the first time for all people with a software program.

This project is based on the art formula developed by Liedtke, on which the art open art exhibition is also based as an essential element.

In 1999 I also took part in the art open exhibition "Innovations and evolution in art from the Stone Age to the present day" with my own presentation, when he presented his revolutionary formula to the population.

Dieter W. Liedtke's work gives art a new dimension, an evolutionary, comprehensible function for culture, innovation and the evolution of mankind as a whole.

The works of art and the inventions of Leonardo da Vinci are widely known to me. To deal with the innovations of Dieter Liedtke as an artist and inventor and compare him with Leonardo da Vinci, I made for years a thorough examination of the Liedtke's works, scientific theories and inventions, to which I have devoted myself since 1996, accompanied by intense personal conversations with Dieter Liedtke about his art, his inventions and results of research in physics.

Inventions and art have accompanied Dieter Liedtke since the early 1960s. During this time he has photographed and painted; he also opened a "made-to-order inventions" office in Essen. For example, he has invented numerous household appliances, cash register systems and audiovisual advertising systems made by him or sold as an application. He was ahead of his time with some, such as the electronic bracelet, which was not carried out because it was decades ahead of its development.

After 1999, I have repeatedly dealt with his technical inventions, tested them for their feasibility and am surprised by his revolutionary solution proposals, e.g. renewable energy generation through the wind on motorways and train tracks by means of vertical wind rollers with noise reduction for the residents on the roadways and direct energy savings in the vehicles through the suction effect in the slipstream of the rollers, as well as the free aimeim social network cell rejuvenation on the Internet through information.

Thus Dieter Liedtke also paints a new picture of physics and biology, revealing a different idea of matter and DNA. His approach for this, as for the origin of the entire universe, is the information.

In his works of art Dieter Liedtke vividly turns previous scientific theories upside down with his formula, which combines quantum theory with relativity theory and contains the conservation law for information, thus offering revolutionary theories in physics and astrophysics, the understanding of a new view of the universe.

If I have understood him correctly - and that is not always easy - he has developed his theory to include information as a physical entity in the natural sciences. For him, information has two sides, as does quantum mechanics: on the one hand, it is not bound to space, matter and time, i.e. simultaneously and everywhere, and on the other it is manifested in energy or matter. Due to an introduction of the distinction of information and the physical classification of this sharp separation as well as the idea that both forms of information connect to information clusters, information families or, as he also calls them, self-sustaining information networks, whereby he assumes that these two forms of information are interwoven by entanglement, he seems to have succeeded in his theory in supplementing Albert Einstein's equation: E = MC2 on: i = E = MC2 (i = information).

In this theory, information is transformed into space, gravity, energy and matter through entanglement and growing information networks.

The information, in its simultaneity and its ability to be in any place, is integrated and slowed down in its speed through its self-sustaining properties designed for information network growth (according to genes and DNA in biology) into the information family.

Due to the infinite flow of information in the universe, they grow into wave information networks, which are permanently compressed by further information and reduce in speed according to their compression.

As the information continues to grow, these concentrations of network and cluster information become physically measurable background radiation (which can lead to the measurable conclusion that the already measured irregularities in the background radiation are evidence of the growth of information in the universe), elementary ponds with possible entanglements with non-materialized information and information networks (cf. the Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky experiment, whose results show that information in the universe is exchanged without loss of time and information networks are formed), which form a holistic universe.

The abbreviated formula for his revolutionary theory of the universe: i = E = MC2 or i = M.

The path to his new theories about information as a physical quantity led to the conservation theorem of information, which had long been sought by science; stations on which were, among others, his interpretation of the process of creation, which he painted under the name Übernichts and opened up for physics in his theses, as well as his intuition-based reinterpretations of well-known scientific terms such as time, space, gravity, black holes, dark matter, dark energy, background radiation, big bang, mass and energy.

On the basis of his intuitive/philosophical/artistic insights, which were repeatedly illustrated in his works, he was able to dissolve paradoxes that have preoccupied science over the last hundred years. His theses have repeatedly been confirmed by scientific research.

Dieter Liedtke assumes that in the future all contradictions scientifically researched according to the old (outside the connection of relativity theory with quantum theory) will be explained by information in his Unified Theory of the Origin of Energy in the Universe.

The philosopher Niklas Luhmann³ said of this approach to research through art:

Liedtke modifies and dissolves the framework of known theories. His new scientific theories are at the same time the condition and product of their own operation. His formula is an evolutionary achievement. Once invented and introduced, it enables itself.

Result of the investigation

The theory of unified information is logical and comprehensible; only the way in which Dieter Liedtke arrives at these results cannot be explained by classical research methods nor is it empirically comprehensible, since scientific research is carried out by means of representation in works of art, new theories are developed, and the results of research are presented to the public as works of art in museums and art exhibitions.

However, his theories and research results are revolutionary not only in art, but also in the natural sciences and the humanities, and draw a new picture of a universe without riddles under his own premises.

For the first time in art history, statements that were manifested in Dieter Liedtke's artworks and theories were proven as research results by scientists who were unaware of his artworks decades after their creation and publication; for the researchers concerned, they led to Nobel Prizes in medicine, physics, and economics.

In physics, Liedtke has so far anticipated two Nobel Prizes with the contents of his works.

a. The evolution of the universe

In exhibitions and his 1982 book The Consciousness of Matter, Liedtke presents in illustrations his works of art from the 1970s, which are equipped with their own consciousness as information and cause the expansion of the universe through new information in the form of expanding spirals as "Kosmoran"; in this process, the enlarging consciousness of the Kosmoran leads to the creation of space by entanglement of information with energy and matter, whereby the universe expands.

• The Universe and its Expansion
  New Definition with the Resolution of the Universe Expansion Paradox
  Published in 1982, 1987, 2007.

  Scientific confirmation of the new definition by the general theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, the combination of these two theories, the ERP experiment and the proton paradox to the new explanatory model of physics.

Scientifically confirmed since 2011 / Nobel Prize in Physics.

The information causes the space to expand until the space tears open and due to these cracks new space emerges which enters the universe and thus enlarges it.

Picture Series About Nothing 2006

The Nothing

Nothing represents cracks in space through which space, time, energy and mass enter the universe one-dimensionally, two-dimensionally as information and as energy; it is an imaginary state that can only be grasped as an accompanying concept of creations or new information.

The nothingness and birth of Kosmoranes, nothingness, time, gravity and matter. The nothingness is without space, time, and information, without existence and reality. This, too, is an imaginary concept that only makes sense in the context of creations and new information.

In 2011, Saul Perlmutter, Brain P. Schmidt and Adam Riess will be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their discovery of the accelerated expansion of the universe by observing distant supernovae.

b. The formation of mass

In his art works from the 1970s to 2006, Liedtke published in exhibitions and in his books The Consciousness of Matter and The World Formula of 2007 the thesis that energy and matter are formed from information mergers and thus form the origin of mass and gravity in the elemental ponds and in the universe in the Kosmoran.

Information and information networks the basic building block of matter
New definition with the resolution of the information paradox.
Published 1982, 1987, 2007

Scientific confirmation of the new definition by the general theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, the combination of these two theories, the ERP experiment and the proton paradox to the new explanatory model of physics.

Scientifically confirmed since 2013 / Nobel Prize in Physics.

Liedtke also investigates how the Higgs boson, energy and any matter, as well as relativity and quantum mechanics can be combined.

After his picture The 4th Dimension from 1982 to 1988 he developed the innovation formula and a new 4th dimension. In his exhibitions from 1988, 1989 and 1999 in Essen and in his book art open of 2000, he presented this theory as well as the corresponding works of art as their manifestation.

In 1988 he developed, from his works of art "The consciousness of matter" of the 1970s and the new "4th dimension", the Art Formula for innovation and evolution: ultimately, the formula of information in art.

From 2005, after the creation of the first Übernichts works, he transfers from the Art Formula the evolutionary principle of information and its interconnections to space, energy, matter and the universe, as well as the symbiosis of relativity theory and quantum mechanics, from which he can derive the processes of origin of mass and the universe.

it results in:

His recommended philosophical and physical formula for the universe is:

Information and its dimensional linkages in the 1st dimension with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th dimensions as well as their interconnections in the event horizon

• NG = laws of nature (Self-sufficient organization and type of organization or law enforcement by structuring initial information) / In = information networks (the self-preserving organization of networks or groups of information and the way they are organized according to the laws of nature, set by evolutionary guidelines and an open future) / i = information / E = energy / the equation i = E connects relativity with quantum mechanics.

The Unity of the World - The General Information Theory -

If everything is information and consists of self-supporting, open first information networks, then the laws of nature, space, time, dark energy and dark matter, matter and antimatter, the universe, genes and cells, life, evolution, creativity, the intelligence, the consciousness of the self and of us, the feeling, the knowledge, the life forms, the human being, the vision, the intuition as well as the society, as well as its freedom and ethics, the health, the lifetime and the prosperity of humans through information and their media.

In 2013, Peter Higgs and François Englert will receive the Nobel Prize for their theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of the mass of subatomic particles, recently confirmed by the discovery of the predicted elementary particle by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider.

Liedtke's works and theses are anticipating, so that further discoveries by scientists and art historians are to be expected in their works.

I cannot know which of his new physical theories will be confirmed in the near future, because there are no more research results in the fields of physics, astrophysics and information, but I assume that researchers in quantum physics will give a new, theoretically and physically founded importance to information for the origin of the universe in the future and that Dieter Liedtke, as Harald Szeemann said, as an artist inventor, has anticipated research in physics for decades in his works of art.

How he comes to new insights and theories in physics through the intuitive creation of his works of art remains a mystery.

This expert opinion on Dieter Liedtke's physical theories was written to the best of my knowledge by consulting his books, patent applications, as a participant in the art open art exhibition of innovations and due to extensive studies of his works of art.
