Quantum Posting
Something that happened over the past few months…I found out there’s another author that I actually like :
Stephen Hawking.
Good times.
Ah well, back to the grind (and I started writing this like forever ago..!)
Anyone who’s known me somewhat well knows that I have a 55 Thz. Processor stuck on a Commodore 64 Motherboard for a brain. On those occasions that my drive actually synergizes with my intellect and *doesn’t get distracted by games* I can get scary and weird and I tend to have a one-track mind for about three weeks. The most famous time (over the past ten years) was when I was reading “Who’s Afraid of Schrödinger’s Cat” and the next thing anyone knew I had developed a theory based on Bell’s Theorem, Bose-Einstein Condensation & Quantum Theories of the mind to develop the Quantum Eye theory. Long/short: it helps to explain the sense of Déjà vu as well as why certain segments of society experience it more often than others. I conducted an informal 5 question survey and I was able to predict the results of how often someone would get a sense of Déjà vu with about 97% accuracy - based on a sample of about 400 people +/-. I call that pretty solid.
So I’m reading “A Brief History of Time” because…well…it was suggested and I like the subject matter. As I’m on the MARC train one day I’m reading about Singularities, Virtual Particles (‘carrying’ gravity) and anti-particles and such, and of course the state of the ever-expanding universe. Part of the issue is we don’t have (as yet) a consensus answer to what started The Big Bang. There are several reasons why that’s an issue, and it is VERY much in debate. One particular issue is what is sometimes referred to as a ‘Magical Rate of Expansion’ that exists in our findings.
Here’s a VERY brief bastardized explanation of a specific issue:
Had the Big Bang been 1 x 10 -23 weaker, we would have had the BB but then a Big Crunch EONS ago…because of the effect of Gravity over large distances. Our universe is too old for that to have happened (according to calculations) and our universe is currently expanding.
Had the BB been 1 x 10 -23 stronger, the BB would have been too strong and the universe would have effectively blown apart (a REAL bastardization there - trying to save on space) and we would not have the stability we have today.
While the universe is expanding that expansion is slowing…but only slightly. Enter into the mix Black Holes (aren’t singularities fun?) and you’re left with questions like “where did the BB come from, and the material it must have contained?” and “So just what happens to the stuff that ‘falls’ into a Black Hole”. Y’know, stuff we all think about (or should think about at least once in our life).
My theory (and I won’t get into too many specifics here) is that we are, have and continue to observe a phase-shifting universe. Follow.
We have observed that matter within our universe has remained somewhat constant during this expansion because while matter is lost via Black Holes it is also added as the universe expands. I believe that what is occurring is there is a ‘universe’ next to the one we can observe - and the fact that we perceive things in 4 dimensions: L x W x H x Time which is part of my theory - means that we have been unable to detect a ‘source universe’ nor a ‘destination universe’. We can detect the relative density of our section of the universe as well as the rate of expansion. If no ‘material’ is being added to the universe then as the universe expands the density should drop. Try spreading icing on a cupcake and then using the same amount of icing on a wedding cake to illustrate the difference. These two universes - I theorize that they are in dimensions next to ‘ours’ - are the reason why we have the constant rate of expansion coupled with stable relative density.
Here’s my example of how it works, how we observe it and why we think of it as a Big Bang…even though it wasn’t a bang.
Take a microscopic creature. This creature can only perceive things that are suspended in water. She can’t see or measure things in a solid or in gas at all.
Now put them on a block of ice. What do they see? Nothing. Squat. Nada. (We have ‘Nada 3’!) They consider this to be a void.
Now melt the ice.
The volume of her known universe will go from Zero to a small bubble of water, but it’s a growth of an infinite percentage. This appears to her naked eye as a Big Bang because the rate of expansion is off the charts. As the ice melts the expansion continues, but the percentage is slowed dramatically in comparison. During this time and from this time forward the density of the water - and therefore her ‘universe’ - will remain constant.
As expansion continues there are collections of impurities which set themselves apart from the water and these can be considered ‘heavenly bodies’ such as stars and the like.
Black Holes fit in as well (bubbles in the water that eventually either pop at the surface or just evaporate) help to swing the balance in the other direction. Black Holes have a couple of flavors (more than that really) but either they explode or collapse into nothing. That could well be applied to the example I’ve given above, but I’ve already gotten WAY too wordy.
Anyhoo…I’ve now purchased another book by this neat guy titled “God Created the Integers” which has every significant mathematical proof since…well I don’t have it in front of me right now but I believe 2,500 BC to present day. Why? Because in order to explain the details of my theory I’ll need to speak the language of those physicists that actually care about this, and they speak Math.
Good times, people...good times.
