We discuss a phenomenological view on the problem of time in the context of the cosmological problem. Based on the concept of time as a force similar to gravity, created by the deformation of the past in the field of view of a modern observer, it is shown that the Universe is a binary system in which one part, hidden behind the time horizon, inevitably affects the second - the visible one. The physical content of the concept of time is the key to understanding the nature of hidden matter and the acceleration of the Universe.

In recent years, within the framework of the relational approach to the description of space-time and physical interactions, a number of studies have been carried out to substantiate cosmological effects. It has been shown that the cosmological redshift and the cosmic microwave background may be the result of contributions from emitted but not absorbed radiation. However, until now, Hubble’s law has not been fully derived on the basis of only relational ideas. In this paper, this conclusion is presented and the Hubble parameter is calculated in the modern era. For this, the contributions of the pulses of the emitted but not absorbed radiation to the pulse of a distant astronomical object (cluster of galaxies) are considered. It is shown that taking these contributions into account leads to the linear Hubble law.

In 1905, Einstein’s fundamental article [1] was published, the fundamental laws of the theory of relativity were discovered, including the clock paradox. These discoveries led to revolutionary changes in physics, including astrophysics. We show the close relationship of this discipline with the so-called quantum nonlocality. It manifests itself in the highlighted role of the light cone, in the concepts of precedence and correlation between distant events, in the ideas of long-range and short-range interactions, in the paradoxes of quantum interactions at a distance, in apparent violations of causality during the birth of black holes, in the instantaneous occurrence of inertial forces arising in accordance with Mach’s principle.

The influence of the space of a homogeneous slowly rotating Universe on the properties of local material objects described by the Dirac equation is studied. It is shown that as a result, the features of the local motion of spinor particles are significantly manifested, and the appearance of their mass can be induced, which can be considered as a clear manifestation of the operation of the Mach principle, which is one of the components of the relational paradigm.

The paper considers the coincidence of the universal periods spectrum found in fluctuations of various nature processes with the spectra of some astrophysical systems: rotational periods of asteroids, periods of binary stars systems, and periods found in the spectra of astrophysical masers. Existence of the spectrum on such different scales, from terrestrial to astrophysical, suggests some global synchronization, which may be based on the Mach principle.

The question is raised about the motivation and driving forces of evolution. All global processes in the geospheres are closely interrelated with each other. Essentially, the energy exchange between geospheres (including volcanic eruptions) characterizes and reflects the form of planetary metabolism by the type of homeostasis. Global processes of material exchange are a universal mechanism for regulating the planet as a self-developing thermodynamic system “Earth”.

The problem of self-organization of natural systems of Nature and its connection with the self-development of living systems is investigated. In the history of science there is no law devoted to this fundamental problem. However, the grandiose purposeful achievements of Nature testify that it exists. The peculiarity of this work is that it includes a chain of known facts, the unknown interconnection of the links of which, according to the author, follows the problem of self-organization of natural systems. The prevailing one-dimensional tendency for a long time to explain all problems solely on materialistic grounds turned out to be not always objective and therefore ineffective. The restoration of the multidimensional role of metaphysics, established by the monograph by Yu.S. Vladimirov, removed many restrictions. This allowed us to explore and connect the limiting cases, limiting ourselves to a sequence of well-known information-logical generalizations: Hegel’s dialectic, I. Kant’s a priori knowledge, M.A. Marutaeva, Leonardo da Vinci’s phenomenon of the golden section, L. Euler’s eigenvalues and D.I. Mendeleev.
