Time and Space - Dead or Alive?

2/21/2016

Yesterday was my birthday. I said to a friend, "I think we may be alive and dead at the same time, as the Universe likes symmetry in a polarised kind of way. Maybe while we are alive, we are dead somewhere else, and when we die, we return to a living state elsewhere."
"You need proof for all these theories of yours, Kath," he commented, drily unconvinced.
I had in mind, over the course of deliberating this new theory, that Neutrinos oscillate from one form to another as they journey in their straight-line flight, and it's quite possible (according to some scientists) that they 'skip' in and out of other dimensions as they do so. That wouldn't be too dissimilar, thinks I, to our cruising along as conscious entities on a wave packet that death simply collapses, only to be re-instigated in particle format some place else - spacetime having, after all, a lot of options on offer.

Now, I didn't think much more of this until coming to the computer and finding New Universe Daily had posted 
this article on Twitter about mesons and time.
It seems to kinda fit the profile. While everyone (well, everyone who's interested) seems ultra-keen to find out what the Universe is composed of, our perceptions of space and time are at best shaky, at worst extremely naive. Like the caterpillar who's lived all its life on a tree that has never moved, we tend to question the most basic of precepts, such as whether the Earth is a living thing, and bizarrely but seriously the question is now being posed in high places (thanx to Phil Metzger for the heads-up) as to whether the Universe is our home as much as the Earth is!

Now, you know me. If there's a good theory to support the supposition that we as quantum units made of quantum units behave like quantum units whether we like it or not, I'm going to jump in and shout about it. Plenty of other people are shouting about it too, so it's only a matter of time before we evolve our thinking around these questions. As for space, well, we don't need to worry about that too much, do we? After all, it always stays the same.... doesn't it?

Information - The Prime Directive

​"It's a matter of perspective," said the invisible voice as I sat in the garden under a lilac twilight. "Everything you've done is wrong, or everything you've done is perfect."
Well, in hindsight I thought that a bit extreme, but then having a bad day happens to us all, and the Universe cares not for what we make of it. This unique raft of memories we build on the sea of life is just a few binary dots in the matrix of Creation. Building its own raft, the Universe uses us to gather its bits about it in making ever-more-sophisticated versions of its own existence, seeking as we are to determine what the Creator is. As we drift along gathering information in obedience to its Prime Directive, we're driven to see what's lurking there in the Dark Matter of it all to make up the form of energy we have trouble determining ourselves to be. If you click on the link to the Dark Matter article, you'll find that picture that looks exactly like a firing brain cell. No wonder, then, that we stumble about scientifically struggling to find out what all these universal components are when we ourselves are made up of them. The Universe has the same problem.

It's not my place to determine what anyone else's place may be. I'm not there - you are. Some of the challenges I've had to face in this lifetime pale into insignificance when faced with a fresh one. It's all bullshit, one might say, squared up against the illusion/reality defect. We cannot determine what is illusion and what is reality when our minds are firmly positioned in neither camp. See ‘wave-particle duality' for more on this. One thing is certain - I'm sharing similar thoughts with a lot of other people. Since X-waves came to hit Earth a lot of changes have become apparent. It's not as if I'm talking about a minority here, either. Most of my friends have experienced some kind of major shift in their perceptions of life, and would vouch for this shift being on ‘another level altogether'. What of Star Trek- is there a supernova in our thinking to come from 'out there'? Geordi La Forge is mentioned in the listing - thanks for being there, Chief Engineer - following Quantumology on Twitter! Nice to know we're not alone.
