In our understanding, VIRTUAL is some form of representative/descriptor of the REAL. In quantum mechanics VIRTUAL particles are representative of, though perhaps not fully condensed, REAL particles. In order to look at all the subsystems of our condensed universe that we call REAL, first let’s look at a mathematical expression written down by Galileo. It’s …
Perspective: Function and Form
My parents decided not to expect me to join a temple or church. They admitted they didn’t know anything definitive about God and The Universe. Some of the last things they said to me (before they died) suggested that they hadn’t found their truth about the ultimate. They asked me then what I had found …
Finding The Almost-God
As I’ve written before, my Jewish-born parents wanted me to find my own god. Somehow, I think they might have been hoping for an afterlife. Dad was in business and developed some of the first business math. Mom was a beautician, the creative type, but also a lover of nature. My father was brought up …
FREE WILL
There have been many discussions and books about free will. unfortunately whenever we discuss anything, we need to define it, and along with the idea of consciousness, free will is hard to define. I like to start with the simplest construction as an offshoot of entanglement. We talk about entanglement, but we rarely look into …
Our Universe and Its Dimensions
[add to this the topic of heterogeneity] To us volumes of spacetime look to be filled (supermassive black holes) and empty (outer space). That view couldn’t be further from the truth. There is no such thing as completely empty space and no such thing as completely filled space. And here’s why: An empty volume is …
Consciousness: Step by Step
Where should I start a topic that talks about figuring out what consciousness is all about? I remember when I first saw THE MATRIX with my hubby in a movie theater. Of course, I thought, all the things we see out there in the outside world are virtual realities. It’s our perspective on things (that …
Boundaries of Our Universe
I’m posting this from the Quora.com site to save the explanation of what relationships are all about, what systems in the universe are all about, and the, perhaps, most important aspects of such systems. When did time really begin? Did time begin before or after the beginning of the universe? Nothing, including space-time, exists except …
The Creation of Space
* * Published experiments found on this website are proportional to what happens as the universe expands due to mass-density instabilities in the universe. The exact steps in the exact solution for the density differences (instability) of our expanding universe is given in Hydrodynamic and Hydromagnetic Stability (International Series of Monographs on Physics): Chandrasekhar, S.: 9780486640716: …
