The History Of The Omniverse The Omniverse Star


Quarks, the Universe, and then some

intro

Everything is connected. Not just everyone, but everything.

Every subatomic particle is connected to every other one, all of them, all of us. EVERYTHING.

Talk about a wide bus.

Anyway, with all that cosmic wiring, and the assumption, by way of "Opell's Theorem," that any sufficiently large pile of switches, organic or mechanical, will organize and become self-aware, ...well let's just say the Gaea concept, has far-reaching implications.

No, this does not mean the Omniverse Click The Asterisk - TADA is alive. But it does not exclude the possibility, either. It is probably not aware but, it may very well be a well organized entity of unimaginable size and complexity.

reality map

What we think of as the "Laws of Physics" is a record of measurements, a list of collapsed wave functions, observatory phenomenon. It may have nothing whatever to do with reality.

The Omniverse Click The Asterisk - TADA has little or no regard for our individual whims. As a Collective, however, we are capable of adjusting our apparent reality. The things we see, feel, and believe are a collection of perceptual sets. We filter reality through very limited sensory apparatus, and make assumptions based on incomplete information.

This is called Science.

What you see . . .

If one looks at the study of Cosmology, one keeps bumping into terms like; Heisenberg, Uncertainty, Quantum Theory, and Chaos Theory. In brief, they deal with the thorniest problems in science:

 

Nothing could possibly act the way it does, and yet it does.

All observations are flawed by the presence and limitations of the observers.

 

Chaos theory touches lightly on these basic fallacies of science. Like some religious promise of an after life, Chaos Theory is a magic potion that allows:

When things seem to be in chaos, it is just a system too complicated for humans to discern.

 

It is when historians offer "hard, cold facts"; when Physicists assert that something is "impossible"; that I cringe. The very mathematics we have relied on for centuries, has developed to the point, where it describes itself as highly improbable. I offer the following as an example.

Schrödinger's Cat

Basically, The Uncertainty Principle mated with Quantum Theory and begat Chaos Theory. This is known, in some circles, as inbreeding. In his metaphorical example, Schrödinger's cat / particle remains in an "undetermined state" until one looks at it. This finally gives us an answer to the old Zen paradox, "If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one to hear it, does it make any sound?" The answer, according to these cousin theories, is no. Not only does it not make any sound, it may not even fall, if there is nothing about to measure the event. 

Why Schrödinger would even think about murdering cats is beyond this commentary. For a quick run-down, click the link above, then get on with this tirade.

intuition

Keeping in mind the lesson of Schrödinger's Cat, here is a brief synopsis of a real experiment.

Matching Complementary particles are generated (that's not as difficult as it sounds-) and then separated (that's much harder-). Complementary particles, act a particular way, for instance; if one is negative the other is positive. If one is changed, it's complement changes, too. It is easy to intuit the action involved here,  (ever rub your feet on the carpet, then zap someone?) a simple mechanism that keeps the charges of the particles complementary.

However, if the particles are separated, removed from zapping range, changes to one instantaneously affect the other. [remember, this is an actual experiment ].

While the change is amazing enough, the keyword here is instantaneously . Scientists do not fool around with words like that, instantaneously means: with no space of time (i.e.; faster than light). If a scientist is quoted as saying instantaneously , it is a good wager he meant just that.

From this science inferred Tachyons, which travel backwards through time. While it is true that some "particles" time travel, it has nothing to do with this experiment.

How dey do dat?

Dey don- They don't. Quarks do it.

First of all, give up the notion of the space-time continuum as a rubbery sheet with globes denting it. That analogy was never very good, just simple.  One might more accurately envision everything suspended in an infinite number of sheets, but then the calculus is brutal.

As for the four forces, Strong, Weak, Electromagnetic and Gravity. They are all the same force, manifested through different media. As a simple example, punching a brick wall will give the appearance of a different type of force than punching a pillow. 

Nor is The Omniverse Click The Asterisk - TADA made of Strings, for kZard's sake, that is merely observational phenomena. The universe is made of what science might call "particulate wave function fronts".( A physicist would probably say I'm full of it, which makes my point.)

f'r instance:

              this is a particle *
              it may or may not exist
              until you "look" at it
   Science refer to this event as measurement

 

(this is where it hits the fan)

 


              this is a particle Click The Asterisk - TADA before you look at it
              when you measure (i.e. look at) it
              it goes like this (This is how it starts)
              then like this ((That makes sense))
              then like this (((you get the idea)))
              then like this ((((and so on...))))
                       etc.
                    this is a wave function ()
                    this wave function does not exist
                    it has no point in space and time (in our universe)
                    until you look at it i.e., until it's measured

First note: Anything can measure; you, me, a barn owl, another particle,
or a wave function.
(hang on a minute, it's just below )

Second note: this is where it really hits the fan:

 

Every particle generates a wave function for every measurement. In three dimensions, wave functions travel as expanding fronts which are actually spheres (not parentheses) a two dimensional slice looks sort of like this:

...((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Click The Asterisk - TADA)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))...


the wave fronts expand and intersect (measure) other wave fronts

oh yeah!
That is a static picture, a slice of reality that
represents a single particle over a duration of about
0.00000000000000000000000000000000000001 sec.
(much more impressive than scientific notation,
don't you agree?)

  

Every measurement generates more wave functions, which generate more wave function fronts, which generate more measurements...  This is what we think of as reality. We make it up as we go along.

did we mention the part about the fan?

And please no cracks about the great quark

The term Quark is actually a misnomer. There is only one "quark", it is the singularity that balances the OmniverseClick The Asterisk - TADA

In order for this vast non-singularity, The UniverseClick The Asterisk - TADA, to exist, there must be a "counterweight", a massive singularity at the other end of the Omniverse (The other end is inside). Quarks are where the singularity pokes through into our Universes.

 

Why, you might ask, is this so special?

 A singularity by definition is a single point. Theoretically, it takes zero time to cross a single point.

Information (remember the complimentary particles), does not travel faster than the speed of light. It travels 0 distance in 0 time, through the quark/singularity. We can do it, too however adjusting your body to the proper size, might be extremely painful.

The point

Science and scientists qualify everything. For instance:

( sic, Flight controllers) "...continued their attempts to communicate with the spacecraft yesterday and today so that they can be certain they have exhausted all possibilities before they conclude their search. While a recovery is still a possibility, the likelihood of hearing from the lander is considered remote at this point.

A quote from an actual NASA press release.

 Translation 1: everything has been tried and none of it worked, so we're going to do it all again.

 Translation 2: we lost it.

We never really had it. There are some good theories out there, but they remain just theories. Ninety Percent of the known Universe is what science calls " Blackbodies and "Dark Matter ".

Blackbodies are opaque or invisible to human instruments such as telescopes, X-rays, radio waves and the naked eye. It neither reflects nor refracts light. This is the way science says: "We don't know what it is." This is the way science says: "DUH."

By my calculations, that means "science" has about a 1 in 10 chance of being right. That puts it in the same league as fairy tales, politics and religion.

Conclusions

Beginning now, preface everything; every song, poem, book, breakfast, mathematical treatise or news article, with one of the following words or phrases:

 

Apparently, Allegedly, As far as I can tell, It seems as if...;or words to that effect.

Accordingly, No one should ever say, "Yes, I'm sure." never, ever again.

 

In fact, what this means is that:

Yes, Virginia there probably is a Santa Clause, (if you don't let the cat out of the box.) Just don't be surprised if he is riding on a Large Pink Dragon.
