Black Hole
Do black holes essentially reverse the Big Bang? Are they singularity creators?
The Chemical Currency
Everything we do seems to be driven by a payment in chemicals. Different people have different reward systems and so one might have a brain that pays the chemicals when they do something good. The other may receive those chemicals when they do something bad. Yet others use the skeleton key (drugs) to unlock the chemical vaults and distribute the riches outside of this payment system. The physical body just becomes a means to power the chemical generator; one that adheres to the payment system that the brain it contains is stamped with (are they stamped or built? I don’t know). The brain must find a way to provide energy and resources to the system and recognize the pathways to the payment in chemicals – it uses the body to accomplish this task. Or it can skip over and find the skeleton key but keep in mind that the first part of the equation still has to be satisfied – energy/resources need to be supplied.
You work out, get paid in some good chemicals.
You procrastinate and fail at something, you get deprived of the good chemicals.
You see something of great beauty, you get rewarded in good chemicals (requires a value system to be setup, of course)
In the end, by honoring these established payment systems, humans have established behaviors.
The Matrix is real
Ok, not thinking about that matrix but the fabric of space time or maybe just of space. Imagine a tightly configured matrix of bungeecords. Imagine that at each “point” that bungeecords cross/meet, an atom can anchor itself – not a permanent anchor but a fluid one. The more protons and neutrons, the more that atom pulls the associated bungees to the “center” of that atom. Now imagine that these bungeecords are seamlessly laid out with no voids in between. Does that describe Gravity?
Thinking further, could space, time and gravity all be related – a corollary to the e=mc^2 equation?
Quantum physics of the soul
Quantum physics and the laws thereof apply to the (currently known) microcosm of the universe. Beyond that, newtonian physics kicks in to govern the macrocosm. In the same way, religion and culture hold communities (microcosm) together but as the size of the community increases, that hold no longer applies – in the case of religion and culture, they actually manage to drive wedges between communities. Religions and cultures fragment along community lines. At the macro level, they serve as wedges.
Nature has found a great way to keep the cosms separated – that which rules the micro, does not work in the macro and vice-versa. The realms are separated. The concerns are separated. The universe evolves in a beautiful symphony.
Man may have found but has not perfected this magic formula. The US seemed to have – the separation of church and state. Man made laws that governed the states and countries while leaving religion and culture to sustain the communities. But, as religion impinges on secular concerns and vice-versa, the symphony under construction seems to be preparing for a crescendo of cacophony.
Don’t Faith the answer
I am not a religious person but I believe in a persons right to have their beliefs. So fair warning that the following probably does not comply with faith.
So many questions
What’s following the directions in the DNA to build us? It is a huge coordinated effort to know where to start one part, where to end it and part to repeat that process with next.
Is it possible to have a Matrix-style high-jacking of our senses? Would it really be any different than our current reality? Would it be any different in essence? Is that what we currently experience?
More to be added…
Space
Space is a three dimensional “elastic” fabric that light traverses. Matter envelops space – space is compressed between the positive nucleus of an atom and the negative electron cloud around. More protons, more electrons – more space compressed the higher the gravitational presence.
Frozen
Disclaimer: Very little scientific backing presented here
So why does hot water freeze faster than cooler temp water?
Unlike other material, water expands as it freezes which means that particles actually get further apart when the state change happens. As the energy transfer happens at the surface, higher temperature water has more molecular interaction since the particles are more energetic. Water at lower temperature doesn’t have as much energy transfer opportunity so the process is slower.
Distorted Reality
Pessimistically: you can see where we might be loosing appreciation for the real thing. When the digital is so good and VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented Reality) are only getting better, will the coming generation care that what their brains interpret as nature (now fully immersed in whatever New Reality [NR] that will come about) is not nature’s own doing but man’s imitation of the real thing? Does bring to mind the question: What is the real thing? If it’s all an interpretation of signals in the brain maybe the NR will be just as good. Maybe that’s what we’re experiencing today already. 😱.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
