The Substance of the Trinity phenomenon is the existence of modulus „3‟ (most often a mysterious one) in our knowledge of our world. This modulus is characteristic for Christian religion – the existence of the Holy Trinity (God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit). A similar phenomenon has crystallized in last years in the secular field too. Modern Physics has found out that in the fundament of our Universe there exist three families of quarks and leptons as a basis of all matter. There are also three fundamental interactions (gravitational, strong and electro-weak), i.e. some type of „Trinitarian principle‟ arisen also in the real material world. It is an interesting question whether these two categories of Trinity are random similarity only or there could be a deeper correlation. Keywords: Holy Trinity, self-similarity, fractal, deterministic chaos, theory of everything 1. Introduction The main aim of this paper is to present necessary information concerning the problem mentioned in the question „What is the substance of the Trinity phenomenon?‟ following from the Bible as well as from „the book of nature‟. Many Christian thinkers advocate the opinion that Holy Trinity is a great mystery and therefore it is impossible to explain this phenomenon using human language. On the other side there are some famous thinkers to whom it makes sense to look for an analogy of this phenomenon in the real world [1]. Their activity is supported by a phrase written in Catholic Catechism: “God left some footprints of His Trinitarian substance in the world He created”. Starting from physical theory named GUT (grand-unification theory) a well-known English physicist and theologian J. Polkinghorn writes: “In Christian theology the counterpart of the physicist‟s GUT is the doctrine of the Trinity“ [2]. He leans on three interactions observed in nature only but it is necessary to add that our nature offers plenty of other appearances exhibiting modulus „3‟, e.g. a Trinitarian principle. As it will be pointed out at the end of this paper, this trend * Corresponding author, e-mail: ambrozy.marian@gmail.com
