Now on page 92 of Dirac's book, Directions in Physics, I never really
read it until
recently where a person asks Dirac a question:
--- quoting from Directions in Physics ---
Question: I was wondering if a suitable combination of additive
creation and multiplicative
creation could give any answer you'd like?

Professor Dirac:
That is so! But it would be rather unreasonable, I think. I don't
suppose anybody would
believe in a combination of both additive and multiplicative creation.
--- end quoting ---

I want to remark about mine own history on this topic of additive
versus multiplicative.

Of course, Dirac did not have the Atom Totality theory. So I think, to
Dirac, that he was
looking at a exclusion of either, or. Either one or the other with
exclusion.

And I suspect that during Dirac's life, he was expecting the answer to
end up as
multiplicative creation. I sense that in his book he was expecting the
Moon to recede
at 2cm/year.

And that sense of expectation by Dirac for multiplicative creation
rubbed off onto me
and that I was expecting multiplicative to be true as one can see that
it was in
my first three editions of this book.

But I do remember quite well that I remarked several times that I
thought it could
be both a multiplicative with additive creation. Where the creation is
not a exclusive
either, or, but an inclusive either or or both.

Now let me remark on some of the astronomy evidence since Dirac. There
is the
evidence that Neptune is moving off its track and heading to a
approach of the
Uranus track. So one can almost picture the orbit of Neptune as a
huge, a mega
Dirac additive creation. Then there is another astro news of
exoplanets and their tight
close orbits around their parent stars. Here again we can depict these
orbits as
Dirac mega-additive creation orbits.

Now one may ask why has Mercury still been able to escape being
swallowed
by the Sun if Dirac additive creation was true? And I would answer
that the
outward pressure of the Solar rays is enough to counterbalance the
additive creation.
But if the planet were very big and gaseous so that the outward
pressure of
solar rays had not much to "push against" that the approachement would
be
in order.

So I think Dirac expected multiplicative creation, or at least favored
that.
And that Dirac was not aware of Neptune's off track orbit, nor aware
of
exoplanets approacing their parent stars.

And lastly, since Dirac did not have an Atom Totality to base his new
radioactivities,
he would only see a exclusive either or for multiplicative versus
additive.

But in quantum mechanics we have duality and I sense that the question
of
either or exlusive is not what QM would answer. I sense that there is
a mix
of the two, but mostly additive is what is going on. I sense the
universe needs
a touch of multiplicative, because how does a new solar system come
into
being if it is all additive creation? Multiplicative creation starts a
new solar
system, or a new galaxy.

So I think we can have both Additive and Multiplicative creation but
the predominant
one is Additive.
