dc.description.abstractAbstract: Based on ideas developed by the author about the vacuum of an electromagnetic field (the EM vacuum as a basic system of reference and the Casimir polarization of the EM vacuum near electrons and atomic nuclei) it is shown that the genesis of the irreversibility of real processes in time—the “arrow of time”, as one of the “great problems of modern physics” (according to V.L. Ginzburg)—lies in the inevitability of dissipative processes at all spatiotemporal levels of the hierarchy of natural systems. Dissipation accompanies all processes, from macroscopic—in the dynamics of which irregularities of a chaotic nature inevitably appear—to those at the level of atoms and atomic nuclei, since energy must be supplied from the EM vacuum even to maintain the functionally active state of the electronic subsystem of the atom and the nuclear matter of the atomic nucleus. This occurs in the non-equivalent exchange of energy between the virtual photons of the EM vacuum and the region of the Casimir polarization of the electronic subsystem of an atom or atomic nucleus. Within such representations, the Universe itself is an open system fed with energy from the energy-saturated world environment—the proto-vacuum. Phenomenological ideas about the dynamics of the Universe that are developed in this work allow us to solve the most acute problems of such dynamics in a natural way, along with that of the so-called cosmological constant, and to establish the relationship between this constant, which characterizes the expansion of the Universe, and the energy density of the EM vacuum. The introduced concepts allow us to understand a number of other unsolved problems connected in one way or another with the key role of virtual photons in a number of optical phenomena. This is true in particular for the mysterious phenomenon of no light scattering from distant stellar sources, manifested most clearly in the fixed independence of the surface brightness of similar galaxies from their redshifts, which cannot be understood on the basis of the Huygens–Fresnel principle. It has also been shown that the recently established effect of “mass being attracted by a light flux” is due to the accumulated energy of virtual photons produced by the intense light flux in the near-surface regions of massive objects. The subsequent re-emission of light can in this case determine the so-called lensing effect observed in astrophysics, which is usually considered as associated with the effect gravity has on light fluxes. © 2022, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
