FASTER THAN LIGHT

I read somewhere that it is not possible to travel faster than light. However, we now know the speed of a photon is zero, so going faster than light is not a problem. It is Space that expands at what we call the speed-of-light. The photon just goes along for the ride like a cork on a wave. So, is it possible to travel faster than expanding Space?

I read somewhere that as a starship approached the speed of light, its mass approaches infinity. This is a misstatement. Think about E=mc2 and a starship approaching the speed of light. C squared is a large number but multiplying it by infinity puts it out of sight. If true, the starship would suck up all of the energy in our physical universe which is illogical.

As a starship moves through the Space field, every mass center converts its incoming opposing lines of Gravity to expanding spheres of Space. As the starship approaches the speed of light, the expanding Space in front of the starship cannot move out of the way. It builds a wall in front of the starship. You’ve heard of the sound barrier as planes approach the speed of sound. The air pressure builds in front of the plane. Here, we have the Space barrier. It’s like an irresistible force meeting an immovable object. So, metaphorically speaking, its mass increases to infinity.

To pass through this Space barrier, it is first necessary to convert the incoming opposing lines of Gravity to Ray so as to eliminate the Space barrier. The next step is to convert this Ray into Linear Motion and use it to propel the starship. It should then be able to move at warp speeds.

Let’s return to the time before the first Shell to see what I mean. The incoming lines of Gravity converted to Ray and other fields to produce the first Shell. At that instant, the two centers were co-located: the center of our physical universe and the center of the Shell. Each center prevented the other center from converting Gravity to Ray. So, Gravity converted to Linear Motion and moved the Shell’s center outward. This allowed the original center to convert its incoming lines of Gravity to Ray which fired at the Shell’s center. The Shell’s center continued to convert its incoming lines of Gravity to Linear Motion, and it accelerated to the limit of the Space field, i.e., its surface, where it exploded, i.e., unSpun.

However, there is a problem. As a starship approaches the speed-of-light, the Space density inside the ship increases. The Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction says an outsider will see the length of the ship decrease. The crew will experience no difference, but all of their clocks will slow including their biological clocks as they move through thicker Space. The problem is that on the crew’s home planet, the clocks run at their normal pace. This means one year in a starship may represent a hundred or more years at home.

To see what I mean, imagine Captain Cook in the Hawaiian Islands in 1778, where the natives think he and his crew are Gods. Now let Captain Cook return to England, where he finds all of the ships made of steel and powered by steam. His friends are dead; the cities have changed, and he and his crew are museum pieces. What I’m saying is, to make a star trek, one must leave home forever. Why would anyone do this?

I can think of only one reason. One’s sun is going to erupt and destroy one’s solar system.

If true, it would be impossible to move billions of people to another solar system along with all of their belongings. After the leaders realized they were facing extinction, they would take steps to continue their existence by storing sperm and ova aboard several starships and wishing the crews successful voyages.

The next question is, ‘What does the crew do after sowing their oats’?

In our case, the answer appears to be, ‘They return to be a God3 for an evolving people’.

To see what I mean, read ‘The First Book of The Kings’. God3 wanted the Israelites to fear and serve him, but the Israelites wanted a king to lead them and not God3. Samuel anointed Saul, their first king. God3 told Saul to go and smite the Amaleks, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not: but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

This sounds like an order from Hitler. To understand what is happening, keep in mind that God3 was trying to perpetuate the crew’s species.

Remember, Abraham slept with Hagar who gave birth to Ishmael. However, Abraham’s wife was given a fertilized egg with the help of three men of God3. She gave birth to Isaac, and Isaac begat Esau and Jacob. Jacob becomes the chosen one, and he fathered the Israelites. It is this DNA line that the crew tried to perpetuate. Other lines or other people were not important to them.

It appears God3 could not control this DNA line, so they gave up and went to another planet where they would be appreciated.

Since the purpose of our physical universe is to teach us how to reason logically, why travel faster than light? Why go outside when the problem is inside? For example, why would one want others to fear and serve them? Why worry about extinction or the death of one’s body? Our physical universe is an intelligent design, so let it work.

ETHICS AND SINS

We now come to the right side of the Tree Of Knowledge (TOK) and nonphysical ideas. For example, aesthetics is the branch of philosophy that deals with the nature and expression of beauty, as in the fine arts. I cannot comment on this topic, because I’ve lost some of my hearing, and I’m partially colorblind. However, I’ve covered many of the other topics in my main articles so let me move on to ethics and sins.

Ethics is the study of the general nature of morals and of the specific moral choices to be made by a person.

Moral pertains to the goodness or badness of human choices. The choices we make of our own free will.

One links goodness to God and Heaven and badness to evil, the Devil and Hell. Since my model of our physical universe eliminated these mythological concepts, I think it’s time for a major change in the definition of moral choices. I prefer to think in terms of logical and illogical choices. Remember, the purpose of our physical universe is to teach us how to reason logically. This purpose applies to math majors as well as street walkers.

A sin is a transgression of a religious or moral law. It is interesting to note in passing, if we eliminate religions, we eliminate sins.

How many sins are there? Well, there are seven deadly sins: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride. The new social sins include: environmental pollution, genetic manipulation, obscene wealth, infliction of poverty, drug trafficking, morally debatable experiments, and violation of the fundamental rights of human nature. To these, we can add a host of felonies like Rape and Murder.

Let’s now talk about the seven deadly sins. One’s inability to control one’s self characterizes all of these sins. This inability is not physical. Imagine a circle or sphere as our physical universe. By definition, Ideas cannot cross this boundary in either direction, but abilities can. Suppose you are a Being in The Universe, but you lack the ability to control yourself. If true, I think you would be a good candidate to attend school in the physical universe.

Lust occurs when a person acts as if their brain was between their legs.
Gluttony occurs when a person’s stomach controls their body.
Greed occurs when a person collects things. Think about it. Since everything is made of Space, one is collecting nothing. People collect things knowing full well that when their body dies, they cannot take the collection with them.
Sloth occurs when a person doesn’t want to learn anything. It’s like going to school and day dreaming while watching the clock on the wall.
Wrath occurs when one is full of vindictive anger. This often happens when one believes an illogical idea is the truth and someone else has exposed the idea as illogical.
Envy occurs when one wants what another has. Pride occurs when one is full of one’s self. Envy and Pride seem to be the ends of a continuum in a world of illogical Beings. Therefore, is seems best in the long run to be near the medium.

Let’s talk about the felonies. A similar reasoning applies. A Being in The Universe is having problems and is expressing itself in an outward fashion to disturb other Beings. In so doing, the Being becomes a candidate for schooling in the physical universe.
You can make your own decisions about the new social sins.

I will now give you two different examples. The first deals with a band of monkeys. Their leader has just died, and the biggest, strongest, meanest male monkey takes over the leadership task. No one wants to fight him. He uses any of the females whenever he wants. If she is holding a baby and is not cooperative, the new leader tries to kill the baby. After he has had his way, the second male in the pecking order has his way with the females and so on down the male chain. In effect, they gang rape the females daily. To solve their problem, each female selects a male and stays with him in hopes he will protect her from the other males.

The second example deals with seals on a beach. There is a beach master basking in the sun with his harem. One of his females slips into the water and swims to the other side of a large rock. She meets a young male, and they do their thing. While the young male is asleep, she slips into the sea and returns to the harem. The young male awakens to find she is gone, and he goes looking for her. He and the beach master get into a fight. Afterwards, the young male leaves bruised and bloody. He enters the ocean to wash away the blood and a shark eats him.

Let’s look at these two examples and try to apply some ethics and identify the sinners. Glory be, there are none. Ethics and sinning do not apply to animals, plants or insects. They perform according to Spencer’s survival of the fittest, kill or be killed, eat or be eaten.

So, let’s move these behaviors over to humans who have free choices. In this day and age, have you ever heard of a woman being gang raped? Have you ever heard of a woman who wanted to be near a strong man? How about a cheerleader who wants to be friendly with the star quarterback? Have you ever heard of a trophy wife who went astray? How about the expression ‘sex sells’? I read where a young blond woman married an old billionaire for half of his estate. He died on his wedding night with a smile on his face. I mention these examples to say we are not far in our evolution from the animals.

Previously, I divided humans into three groups: Earthy, People, and Beings. The Earthy humans were those who acted as if their brains were between their legs. There are men and women who show their bodies for money and sell their bodies for money. They deal in pornography and dive into orgies. Women have sex with dogs, and men use sheep.

Now look at the circle of our physical universe. The purpose of this school is to teach us how to reason logically. Do you think these people who are overly concerned with sex are thinking logically? I think not. When they recycle because they have not learned to reason logically, how will this physical universe teach them?

I believe a person returns to live in the mess they created. That is, they return to fight against their own ideas. It’s not punishment. It’s a way of teaching. For example, Nietzsche believed women existed for the entertainment of warriors. I believe he would have returned as an Amazon. Another example is a woman who hates a person because of a ‘difference’ will return with that ‘difference’. Have you ever heard that history repeats itself? Well, now you know why. There is no judgement day. If you do not learn to reason logically, you will recycle onto some planet in this physical universe.

For these earthy humans, I think they return as neuters or with genitalia for both sexes. Or, they could return as a female in a male body or vice versa.
The point I’m trying to make is our physical universe is a school, and it will do the necessary teaching to the sinners. So, you should not be eager to cast the first stone.

BRAINS AND MINDS

At the top of its central root, the Tree Of Knowledge (TOK) shows the mind of an illogical Being. This mind interfaces with a human brain, and this post concerns both.

The essential question is how does a physical brain interface with a nonphysical idea, or how does a physical atom think? People who work with and study the physical ideas on the left of the TOK ignore this problem. Their interests range from quanta of light and gravity to faraway galaxies but not inward to what is handling their interests.

My metaphysics post says our physical universe is a self contained set of interacting logical ideas. Our minds process these ideas, and we think they are real. I started with the idea of a point and created a field of Space and ten other fields. These fields interact to produce all that we think are real including brains.

Let’s start with an unstable atom that just became alive and is on its evolutionary way to becoming a mammal. It began by covering itself with stable atoms, and this stability is a key. Gravity compresses other atoms together to produce other stable elements like Carbon while converting some atoms to Space. So, stability is only for a short time as all will eventually reconvert to Space.

As for our unstable atom, the orbital energy of its neutrons spreads to other neutrons in its surrounding atoms. This enables them to make contact with other stable atoms so that the surrounding wall of atoms becomes thicker. To remain the same, this live unit must make contact with other atoms like Oxygen and transfer some of its orbital energy to the original unstable atom. The process repeats, and the unit grows.

As the unit grows, it bends due to outside influences. This bending impacts all of the atoms in the unit, and changes their energy level or orientation. Some internal atoms carry the bending signal better than others, and a line of these atoms becomes the affecters for the unit. Another line of atoms becomes the effecters and try to prevent the bending. The incoming energy signal is Ray, and it triggers the release of a larger Ray which becomes the outgoing signal. We know it as a stimulus and a response.

It is possible for the bending to take place without an external stimulus when an atom suddenly releases its energy. If this bending helps the unit move and find Oxygen atoms or other energy sources, then the unit survives. If it repeats this cyclic process, we say it learned to move and search for food. The point or atom for these internal stimuli marks the beginning of a brain. However, at this stage, it is better to stick with a natural cyclic stability process.

If we move up to an egg in a female mammal, we find a cluster of atoms like a row of dominos. The stimulus for this cluster is the male sperm. This sperm is not alive, but it has the ability to bend its tail and move. Upon penetrating the egg, it provides the stimulus to set off a chain reaction that allows millions of years of evolution to occur in a few months. As the fetus develops, so does its brain. Absent an illogical Being, a child continues to develop and learns stimuli-responses (S-R) from its family. Again, the key is stability for the child and its family as they hunt and gather food for survival.

With the advent of an illogical Being, changes occur which are not related to S-R. The first change is the occupation of the Being’s memory with the brain of the fetus. It is best at this point to remember that a brain is a group of ideas. And, it is these ideas which sate the memory of the illogical Being and overloads its mind. As this mind begins to process these ideas, the child continues to develop. As this mind gains control, it begins to make changes in its community, and others learn from these new changes.

Psychology is the branch of science that deals with the S-R behavior of humans. Psychiatry is the branch of medicine that deals with emotional and mental disorders. Both are important fields to help understand how the brain and mind function.

HUMAN CLONES

The Tree Of Knowledge (TOK) shows humans at the bottom of its central root, and we need a generic view of these humans.

The reasoning in my metaphysics article says our physical universe cycles form one Big Bang to the next. During the compression period before a Big Bang, there are no humans. During the expansion period after a Big Bang, there is only a short period of time in which animals can live.

Visualize this period by thinking of a planet much larger than our Earth. Its sun gave it birth, and it has its own free neutrons. Gravity pushes these free neutrons together, and they cause a nuclear explosion which vaporizes a third of the planet. The planet splits apart to stabilize its moment of inertia. The rains come to fill the abysses and form oceans. Life begins. Dinosaurs come and go, and the age of mammals begins which include anthropoids.

These early humans live in packs like other animals. They evolve and reproduce. They kill for food and live close to the soil. There may be zillions of them on zillions of planets, but they will all die and reconvert to Space before the next Big Bang. ‘Die’ is a misnomer. Our physical universe is a self contained set of interacting logical ideas. Our minds process these ideas, and we think they are real.

We now want to consider why humanoids are a part of this reality.
Our universe is a school whose purpose is to teach its pupils (illogical Beings) how to reason logically.

A major change occurs in a human society when an illogical Being is born into a family. This pupil cannot bring over any ideas from The Universe into this physical universe. However, it does seem to realize that there is something more than the physical objects it sees. It conceives the idea of a creator, and the tribe learns to believe in a God.

With the coming of religion, the locals need to have faith. They must believe whatever their shaman tells them, and the tribe employs some sort of punishment for the unfaithful. Faith in the local dogma makes it difficult for new pupils to learn to reason logically. Faith impedes reason even for physicists.

A major change also occurs when two illogical Beings were born into a tribe. A conflict arises as to whose illogical ideas are to dominate. Each pupil believes everything would be better if everyone followed his ideas, and the end justifies the means. Various political forms arise and evolve as the locals fight wars to establish their illogical ideas.

It appears that humans serve two purposes. First, humans are receptacles for the minds of the incoming illogical Beings, and I’ll say more about these minds in my next post. Second, humans are receptacles for the illogical ideas and act like mirrors. That is, the illogical Beings will recycle, and upon reentering, they will face their own illogical ideas, e.g., Brahmins return as ‘untouchables’ and masters as slaves.

This is a form of teaching. A pupil returns to live in the Hell it creates. This recycling continues until the pupil realizes its ideas are illogical and begins to learn how to reason logically.

With this recycle in mind, think of the first rule: ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’.

UNIVERSALS EQUAL ALGORITHMS

I tried to read an article ‘M-Theory’ which used string theory with eleven independent dimensions to explain our physical universe. The model is not finished, and I didn’t understand it. I was interested in it because my model of our physical universe uses eleven fields, Space and ten other fields. My model starts with the idea of a point and expands and contracts until a Big Bang occurs. It is simple to explain and covers many topics on the left side of the Tree Of Knowledge (TOK). Of the two models, Occam’s Razor favors my model.

However, the main difference is that the M-Theory is a set of equations which hopefully will explain everything while my model acts more like a program running on a computer. The main algorithm is about Space. Space converts to ten other fields during its compression period before a Big Bang, and each field has its own algorithm. When the fields convert into a normal Shell, i.e., atom, that atom and every such atom has its own algorithm which stays with it until it reconverts to Space. During the compression period when fields convert into a neutron inside an atom, two algorithms come into play, one for the neutron and one for the combination called a Hydrogen atom.

We divide things into three groups: Animal, Mineral, and Vegetable. Think of these groups as large algorithms with many if statements or branches. Minerals pertain to the list on the left of the TOK. The unstable atoms are at the bottom left.

Life begins with the advent of unstable atoms. Each unstable atom coats itself with stable atoms and becomes a live molecule with its own algorithm. A molecule with zero openings acts like a stable molecule until something changes it. A live molecule with one opening becomes an animal, and a live molecule with two openings becomes a vegetable. As to the question of which came first the chicken or the egg, one can now say these nodules are eggs.

Depending on their energy level, physical makeup, and environment, these molecules move up the various algorithm branches to become something larger in our world. Darwin calls this process natural selection or evolution.

Universals come into play when one starts at the top, say the animal algorithm, and picks a major subset algorithm called ‘cats’. This cat algorithm covers saber tooth tigers to alley cats, and many more which we cannot even imagine. Jungle law determines who survives. Universals also apply to manmade objects like a table. Algorithms attach to all combinations of atoms no matter their origin.

The key point is our physical universe is a school with a wide variety of apparent objects designed to aid us in learning how to reason logically.

LOGIC_MATH

Mathematics is a subset of logic and belongs in the list of ideas on the right side of the Tree Of Knowledge (TOK). This post has three comments on mathematics.

First, let me refer to the previous post on the importance of the list of ideas on the right of the TOK. The natural processes of our physical universe have their own laws. Physicists try to describe these processes with physical laws like Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation. Where would physics be without mathematics?

Second, the problem with our mathematics is that it is a flat Earth math. Think of a circular tube full of paint. Punch a small hole in the bottom and roll the tube along on a flat surface. Every time the hole touches the surface, it will leave a spot of paint. You can name these spots: 1 2 3 4 etc. The list of these names is infinite. You can also name these spots: 2 4 6 8 etc. The list of these even names is infinite. How can one have an infinite number of names and remove half the numbers and still have an infinite number of names? Logic says there is something wrong.

What we need is a cyclic mathematical system. Our physical universe cycles from one Big Bang to the next. Planets orbit their sun. History repeats itself, and illogical Beings pass through life and death cycles as they try to learn to reason logically.

Third, in my metaphysics article, I created a model of our physical universe from the idea of a point. This point became a spherical field of Space which contracted into ten other fields before the Big Bang. This model explains many objects and events we see today in our expanding universe, but it has a flaw. It contains no imaginary numbers. The term ‘imaginary’ is a misnomer. The square root of minus one is no different than any other number.

Our physical universe is a school. It exists to teach us how to reason logically. Everything we sense is a training aid, e.g., imaginary numbers. Think of a tape/belt with the real numbers on the outside and the imaginary numbers on the inside. Give this tape a twist to produce a mobius strip. My model needs a twist somewhere to include imaginary numbers. One cannot have a universe of ideas and omit imaginary numbers.

Physical vs nonphysical ideas

Look at the top roots of the Tree Of Knowledge and see the ideas divide into two groups: physical and nonphysical. Which group is the most important?

The physical ideas pertain to atoms, energy, power, gold, money. If one is to believe physical objects are real, then the choice is obvious. To support this decision, ask yourself of what practical use are aesthetics: The branch of philosophy that deals with the nature and expression of beauty, as in the fine arts.

The answer is obvious if one forgets one’s purpose in our physical universe. If one is to learn to reason logically, then accumulating money and power is harmful to one’s efforts. One cannot take money and power or any physical object with them when they die, i.e., return to The Universe. Ideas do not cross the boundary of our physical universe in either direction. This rule is what makes it a ‘universe’.

If a person excels in greed and pride, then these traits may carry over to The Universe. There is little or no information on The Universe, but I believe these sins would be undesirable traits in any society.

Think of three persons with their arms extended and fingers interlaced. One embraces air; one a tree, and one embraces a column of gold. My main article on metaphysics shows how the idea of a point converted to atoms and everything physical. So, all three are embracing Space whether they know it or not.

From these examples, I say the nonphysical ideas on the right of the Tree Of Knowledge are more important than those on the left.
