Hold onto your hats! A few beers, food, and a long night may help.

For some folk in the USA: WARNING!! Here be "SCIENCE Learnin'"...

For all others who have the interest and curiosity to see a glimpse of how our universe might really exist...


Ok, so this is some rather deep science that answers some of the fundamental science questions beautifully. Myself, I still have the question of whether time itself is quantized...

To try to cushion a little for the lead-in...

So far, throughout our history of natural philosophy and later scientific achievements: The greatest discoveries enabling us to better describe the world about us, and our universe, have been enabled by being able to relax previous assumptions about previously assumed ways of physical movement.

For example, the orbits of our planets were for the first time accurately predicted only when the "perfection" of the circle was abandoned to instead allow for the possibility of non-circular orbits and instead consider elliptic orbits. Einstein made his breakthrough thoughts when he allowed time to progress at a different relative rate.

(Indeed, time itself is expressed as a movement. Clocks for example merely indicate to us 'movement/travel' 'through' that which we abstractly describe to ourselves as 'time'.)


Here we have a breathtakingly brief explanation to pull together some breathtaking beauty to explain some of the scientific mystery of what we see in our universe:


YouTube: TEDxBoulder - Thad Roberts - Visualizing Eleven Dimensions

Keep with it. There is quite a revelation for how the pieces of our universe fit together...


More of what Quantum Space Theory is about can be found on his website at:

Einstein's Intuition - Quantum Space Theory


There is a lot there to dive through.

Fascinating.

Scarily, it may well all be real. In some ways, at least that is less scary than some of the "Quantum Spookiness" that we see when only considering what we experience for our 3 dimensions + time.

Methinks you are waxing a bit lyrical Martin! How many beers have you had?

For some people, a few beers may well definitely be needed to help relax preconceptions enough to be able to follow the general flow of ideas. Then a few reruns will allow more of the detail to be appreciated...

:-P


Time is merely a measure of the durations of events and the intervals between them. You can measure these elapsed periods in rotations of a planet, or of a planet around it's star, or whatever...

That is indeed a long used "working measure" of what we assume is "time". The swing of a pendulum or other such oscillation of whatever device is similarly an indicator of distance traveled. We then make the assumption that the timepiece has experienced a 'constant rate' of 'time' throughout its motion. In all cases, what we are taking note of is the motion (distance traveled).

A fundamental aspect of Science is to be "self-consistent" (just as is the case for mathematics). To be self-consistent, note that we have no fundamental measure of "time". We do not even know if what we call 'time' actually is a real and distinct entity/feature of our universe...

A whole new thread awaits for anyone wishing to explore Time ...

One of my interests following on my intuition of consistency is for Quantized Time.


Perhaps you should stick to promoting Linux, Linus Torvalds probably pays more commission that Einstein's estate does :-))

Good to see you have the True Gods so much in mind. Can you now forsake the false devils luring you through the Gates of Ballmer and Nadella?...

;-)

There are far too many scientists and theoretical this and that wallahs trying to justify their existence. Once you get your PhD and a visiting professorship, you have to issue 3 or 4 learned papers a year or lose your standing in their community. "latest research indicates ...", "recent experiments suggest ..." etc etc.


Empirical science needs to be 'justified' one way or another, otherwise we wouldn't call it empirical. Research is needed to make new discoveries. We can use all the research we can get imo!
