E-mail: [email protected] Physics is diminished by a simulated algebra that does not take into account the essential difference between quantities of magnitudes and abstract numbers. We have called this nineteenth-century fiction «arithmetization» of Physics and in short it consists of frivolously admitting that the symbols of physical units can be operated as if they were simple numerical elements, imposing a merely symbolic algebra that produces numerous unconscious errors and makes Physics is a disabled science, which ignores the peculiarity of the generative external laws of composition, specific to physical magnitudes, foreign to common algebraic structures. To rescue our minds from that lethargy, we embark here on a journey that is not for the lazy, conceited or well-off. Freeing Physics from its arithmetic prison is a great collective task that requires honesty, sacrifice, humility and commitment from everyone. First we have to go down to the hell of the fundamentals, going back to review the most basic, what we believed to be outdated and obvious, what seems to be known by everyone, to find out to our astonishment that none of us understand it. Only thus is it possible to observe how the treacherous «arithmetization» has intoxicated our minds. Afterwards we will be able to free ourselves from the invisible chains that prevent us from appreciating what the magnitudes and the operations with their quantities really are, starting the flight towards the true understanding of physical phenomena. Through dyadic forms, this absurd trap of arithmetic simplification to operate with magnitudes is dismantled, and the veil that hides a fascinating physical reality is lifted, emerging «dysmetry» and its two impressive main physical-mathematical truths: first, the properties of empty space, which is not presented as inert but as an active entity that produces physical effects by itself, characterized by «dysmetric» tensors; and second, the immortal law of differential dyadic variation, which proves the original fact that what is natural is «dysmetry». At that point we will feel great satisfaction at having discovered an pernicious gap in our knowledge, and it will seem incredible and shameful to have proceeded mechanically without thinking about the lack of foundation of our physical formulations. We will not be able to resist recycling and updating all our most basic and fundamental knowledge so that with a little study we can stop being unconscious, which will be the best decision we can make.
