What is it about?

All our work in classical probability theory is to compute probabilities. The original idea in this research work is to add new dimensions to our random experiment, which will make the work deterministic. In fact, probability theory is a nondeterministic theory by nature; which means that the outcome of the events is due to chance and luck. By adding new dimensions to the event in the real set of probabilities R, we make the work deterministic, and hence a random experiment will have a certain outcome in the complex set of probabilities and total universe G = C. It is of great importance that the stochastic system, like in real-world problems, becomes totally predictable since we will be totally knowledgeable to foretell the outcome of chaotic and random events that occur in nature, for example, in statistical mechanics or in all stochastic processes. Therefore, the work that should be done is to add to the real set of probabilities R the contributions of M, which is the imaginary set of probabilities that will make the event in G = C = R + M deterministic. If this is found to be fruitful, then a new theory in statistical sciences and in science, in general, is elaborated and this is to understand absolutely deterministically those phenomena that used to be random phenomena in R. This paradigm was initiated and developed in my previous 21 publications. Moreover, this model will be related to my theory of Metarelativity, which takes into account faster-than-light matter and energy. This is what I called “The Metarelativistic Complex Probability Paradigm (MCPP),” which will be elaborated on in the present two chapters 1 and 2.

Why is it important?

The development of a new theory in physics, which I called the theory of Metarelativity creates a new continuum or space-time in which a new matter interacts. This newly discovered matter is surely not the ordinary matter but a new kind of matter that can be easily identified to be the dark matter that astronomers, astrophysicists, and cosmologists seek to find. In fact, my novel theory shows that this new matter is superluminal by nature and is related to the new meta-space-time that lies in the metauniverse G2 in the same fashion that ordinary matter is related to the ordinary space-time and that lies in the universe G1 that we know. From what has been proved in Metarelativity, it was shown that the theory does not destroy Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity that we know at all but on the contrary, it proves its veracity and expands it to the superluminal velocities’ realm. The new space-time is “imaginary” since it exists in the domain of imaginary numbers and is now called meta-space-time or metauniverse because it lays beyond the ordinary “real” space-time that exists in the domain of real numbers as well as the matter and the energy interacting within them. Now the relation between both matter and metamatter is shown in the theory of Metarelativity. The first space-time is called the universe and the second space-time is called the metauniverse, which is another universe if we can say as material and as real as the first one but at a different level of experience because it is superluminal relative to the first one. It is similar to the atomic world that exists and is real but at a different level of physical experience, in the sense that we have discovered its laws in the theory of quantum mechanics where we deal with atoms and particles like when we deal in astronomy and astrophysics with planets and galaxies. In fact, astronomy is also real in the sense that we have discovered the laws governing the stars and planets but it lays at a different level of reality from our everyday world and experience. Metarelativity comes now to enlarge once more the scope of our understanding to encompass a new level of physical reality. Furthermore, my Metarelativity will be bonded to my Complex Probability Paradigm (CPP), which was developed in my 21 previous research works. In fact, the system of axioms for probability theory laid in 1933 by Andrey Nikolaevich Kolmogorov can be extended to encompass the imaginary set of numbers, and this by adding to his original five axioms an additional three axioms. Therefore, we create the complex probability set C, which is the sum of the real set R with its corresponding real probability and the imaginary set M with its corresponding imaginary probability. Hence, all stochastic and random experiments are performed now in the complex set C instead of the real set R. The objective is then to evaluate the complex probabilities by considering supplementary new imaginary dimensions to the event occurring in the “real” laboratory. Consequently, the corresponding probability in the whole set C is always equal to one and the outcome of all random experiments that follow any probability distribution in R is now predicted totally and absolutely in C. Subsequently, it follows that chance and luck in R are replaced by total determinism in C. Consequently, by subtracting the chaotic factor from the degree of our knowledge of the stochastic system, we evaluate the probability of any random phenomenon in C. My innovative Metarelativistic Complex Probability Paradigm (MCPP) will be developed in this work in order to express all probabilistic phenomena completely deterministically in the total universe G = C = R + M = G1 + G2 + G3.

Perspectives

Although I have taught courses on probability and statistics at the university level for many years, I consider myself a beginner in this branch of knowledge; in fact an absolute beginner, always thirsty to learn and discover more. I think that the mathematician who proves to be successful in tackling and mastering the theory of probability and statistics has made it halfway to understanding the mystery of existence revealed in a universe governed sometimes in our modern theories by randomness and uncertainties. The probabilistic aspect is evident in the theories of the quantum world, of thermodynamics, or of statistical mechanics, for example. Hence, the universe’s secret code, I think, is written in a mathematical language, just as Galileo Galilei expressed it in these words: “Philosophy is written in this very great book which is the universe that always lies open before our eyes. One cannot understand this book unless one first learns to understand the language and recognize the characters in which it is written. It is written in a mathematical language and the characters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures. Without these means it is humanly impossible to understand a word of it. Without these there is only clueless scrabbling around in a dark labyrinth.”
