QTD in one page: This is a gross over-simplification that still
'kind-of' works in that it will give the reader who persists to the bottom of
this page a pretty good idea of the central concepts of QTD. This text is soon to be complemented with many links leading to more
detailed discussion of particular points.
Revision - It's Matter that Matters!
Matter is made of atoms, atoms are made of sub-atomic particles with
electrons, protons and neutrons the most widely known. Protons and neutrons are
made of smaller bits called quarks. Quarks and electrons are known as "point
particles" as they are not made of anything smaller that we identify as a
particle. Point particles instead, have properties. All identified point
particles carry an inherent electrical charge, described as negative or
positive. All identified point particles carry mass. If a thing has mass and
charge, it can be described as having energy.
All point particles exist in dualistically as (either) wave form or particle.
This is best described when thinking of light. Science has evidenced light
to behave as a wave, similar in basic principles to a wave on a pond (another
gross over-simplification which works in this example). Science has also
evidenced light as being quantised photons, the 'particle' of light.
Here is the most interesting part of this process, experiments have also been
conducted which evidence the same light emission acting as a wave and presenting
as a particle! I can hear you from here,.. how can a thing be a wave and a
particle at the same time? Well, it kind of can't, but that is not where the
story ends by a long shot. Light will behave as a wave UNTIL it is OBSERVED.
Upon observation, which is literally being seen and or measured, the wave form
which was a light wave will collapse or resolve into a particle state. This is
often referred to as the, "wave - particle duality".
[Ed. - The observation required for wave form
collapse seems to be relativistic observation
(next paragraph).]
So in a nutshell, here it is. Without observation, a light wave continues to
be a light wave. When observed, the wave collapses into photons, particles
of light. [we will get to light speed later on] Here is the even weirder
thing, all point particles operate under the same principle! Electrons, quarks,
photons, and a bunch of others I won't list here ALL need to be observed to
resolve from a wave of potential to a particle under the rules of probability. We will also get to the big question, "A
wave of what????" a bit later on. We will also revisit what
observation is, arriving at another QTD piece in the puzzle,.. but first, let's
get to what time is it, actually?
Expanding on the Introduction's brief
description on QTD and time
One of the basic differences between QTD and most of
current physics concerns the assumptions based upon
time. Many classic arguments focus on the concept
that time can be rewound, run backwards, to reverse a
series of events to achieve the starting points of all
involved factors. Think of one pool ball hitting
the other, now reverse the series exactly, with the
other ball now doing the hitting,.. if all forces were
mirrored (including friction, heat, sound, radiation
etc.), the balls should end up exactly where they
started the sequence.
Lots and lots of physics is based upon this very
concept, and for the most part it works, because we
don't try it. Kind of like the economy, it all
works as long as we don't actually look to closely at
it. Where it fails is where a base assumption of
humans requires challenge. Our basest assumption
of time is that it is linear, that the natural state of
time and space is linear, with a here different to
there, and now different to then.
What we experience as
linear time, past,
present and future, is an artificial and rare form of
time. The natural order of time is what we would
conceive of as non-linear,.. one giant now,.. no past to
have a future from,.. a single moment that is both
infinitely large and small (that's what infinity
actually means - it lacks finite definition - infinity
can not be added to, subtracted from, divided or
multiplied. Infinity is, from our point of view,
so massive and tiny AT THE SAME TIME that even trying to
give it a size fails under the simplest request for
definition.
What we conceive of as space, described in three dimension
is a convenient patch of 'temporality', filled sparsely by
matter, of which we are a part. Most branches of
physics assume (or doesn't preclude) that there is a far
more basic continuum in which our space-time bubble of
our known universe exists.
We actually have a bunch of clues as to why our
universe is the way it is, but like a jigsaw, we need to
find a corner, a starting point which makes sense but
accommodates all that has been experimentally proven.
Space, the stuff outside of and supporting our
framework of existence, is infinite by
definition. If a thing is infinite in size, there
can be no linear progression of time, because linear
time requires a finite 'container'. Without a
finite container, time can not be linear, there is no
"here" to be "there" from, so there can not be a "now"
to be "then" from either; each is required to describe
the other. "Here can not be a set distance from "there"
unless linear time exists to define that distance.
QTD
holds that the base nature of time is infinite and
non-linear BUT that we exist within a temporal 'bubble'
where linearity defines "now" and "then". Where
these laws of physics exist because of the linearity of
this reality.
A Bit More on Linear and Non-Linear States
We, all of us reading these pages, live within a linear universe. A linear
universe is one where the past follows the present and is proceeded by the
future. We live in the present and experience time passing from future into
past. This is a temporal linear progression. To expand on this seemingly obvious
explanation; a linear universe is one where distance can exist, as can speed,
mass and size. Remembering back to a simple graph in school, we know of the
horizontal axis of a graph as the, "X" axis and the vertical as the, "Y" axis.
Adding depth to the structure adds the last of the physical dimensions, the, "Z"
axis. If we describe a person as 180cm tall, we are describing them on their y
axis. If we describe a car's speed, we describe its rate of change on the x
axis. Describing a tennis ball's size requires use of all three axes, x, y and z
(three dimensions).
Time also has three states relative to our present. –T, +T
and T representing past, future and present respectively. This is our linear
reality, the reality where we earn money, live, love, grow old, laugh and cry.
QTD assert another state, that of non-linear time or ∞T. [The Lemniscus, "∞" is
the symbol of infinity]
Non-linear is without past, present or future, it is without here and there
(which are linear expressions). In short, non-linear MUST be infinite by
definition. Remember that something infinite can not be
multiplied, divided or quantified; it is both infinitely large and
infinitely small at the SAME time and in the same state. In a truly non-linear
state, there can be no x, y or z axis, no –T, +T or T;
this leaves us with only one option, that of non-linear equalling infinity - a
state of singular expression. This concept is incredibly important to
understanding QTD's principles, as
we are about to get into some deeper concepts.
Just to expand the reasoning here a little, distance is described in time as
finite units of measurement. For one point to be distinct from another point,
that distance needs to be assessable and quantifiable. In non-linear space,
there is no time, therefore there is no distance; no x, y or z axis. The
reverse of that argument says that if no distance can exist, then there is no
definable time because there is no physical space in which to exist (to express
any form of linearity). It pretty much adds up to one infinite
here and now, every where and every when
we can imagine, all at the same and singular instant!
Electrical Charge - A Linear Expression of Potential and Probability
(exchange)
Another key assertion of QTD is that of charge equating to potential
(negative) and probability (positive). An electron is a particle with
almost no mass but a significant negative charge. The electron could be
thought of as the particle best expressing potential, as it acts in all of
chemistry and physics. The proton is probably the best know opposite of
the electron, having a positive charge pretty much exactly matching the opposite
[negative] charge of the electron. Having a positive charge makes a proton
a particle of probability - hence the proton being very, very stable as a
structure.
Potential is exactly what it sounds like, potentially anything. The
greater the negative charge, the greater the potential of that charge.
Probability is the ultimate expression of potential; the mathematically
resolved, 'most likely' outcome possible. For a thing to happen, the
potential must exist that allows for
anything to happen [you might have to read this one a couple of times!].
Only when all possible scenarios are weighed and measured against each other CAN
probability resolve into the most probable outcome. Time for a real world
example?
Imagine a bulb which is so dim that it only emits one photon at a time in
your direction. You 'see' this photon [dim light] as coming from the bulb
in a very straight line. This is the ultimate expression of probability
BUT [and this is a BIG "but"] for that photon to have prescribed a straight line
to your eye, it must also have had the potential of every other straight,
curved, convoluted and seemingly impossible path away from the bulb resolved by
probability into the path we ended up observing as a straight one. Seems
like a long way of saying that light pretty much goes straight? let's get into
why we have to think of this example in this way.
The process of resolving a scenario's most probable outcome can ONLY
occur when ALL potentials have been considered AND competitively
weighed against each other. Read that one again so you can see what is
really being said. Unless every possible outcome and path and scenario is
considered, no outcome is possible! Now in the real world, do things
really work this way? Heck YES! This is one of the corner stones of
chaos theory. Unless totally every possible eventuality is explored, there
can be no outcome! There is not enough data for probability to resolve a clear
'winner'. Example time I think,..
Think of throwing a stone at a bottle. One possible outcome is that you
throw a stone at a bottle, hit it and the bottle shatters. What if you threw it
so hard that the stone itself could not hold together and shatters long before
reaching the bottle? What if you miss? What if you totally flub your throw and
the rock goes straight up (now we have some more possibilities, with the
Emergency Room one of those possibilities!). The possibilities are pretty much
endless when you get right down to it, even in this real world example. Now
what if a meteorite streaks through the atmosphere and affects the stone,
deflecting it? Impossible - no. Possible - yes. VERY improbable -
YES.
I hope you are getting the feel for this probability and potential thing.
There are so many variables and possible outcomes to such a simple thing as
throwing a stone, without even getting into the totally wild areas of what is
described in quantum physics as, "highly improbable"; interestingly, the word,
"Impossible" is quite dead in this realm. For a thing to be impossible requires
a thing to have no potential. Without potential, there is not enough data (in
the form of possibilities) for probability to resolve an outcome and therefore
it doesn't exist!
Quantum physics essentially leaves absolute words like, "impossible" alone,
reserving them for use by those who might not understand how
nihilistic
the word actually is. Language is full of words with absolute values, and many
of these are still used within the world of quantum physics, but with an
unspoken caveat that defines the use of those words as, "not absolute"
as commonly defined. Is this important? Not so obviously when ordering a
hamburger at a cafe BUT it still plays a part. This is not a way of sitting on
the fence or hedging bets, but rather, a way of expressing the need for
exploring all possibilities, a process through which potential can be resolved
by probability.
Autonomic and Relativistic Observation
We discussed observation in our first section, and it is now time to
revisit observation in more detail. QTD proposes two forms or types of observation, Autonomic and Relativistic.
Autonomic
observation occurs within the structures of matter (think chemistry here). A proton, one of the most
stable particles we know of, is essentially completely self-observant. The
three quarks that make up a proton need no external observation to remain in
their stable particle state. A neutron on the other hand is a quite unstable particle
[by itself] and will disintegrate quickly (only lasting up to 15 minutes) unless
it is involved
with another particle which acts to stabilise (observe) it. It is
interesting that when a neutrally charged Neutron
disintegrates, it actually 'splits' into a proton and an
electron, each representing a single unit of positive
and negative charge.
Relativistic observation is a very different thing to autonomic.
Relativistic observation occurs when a thing
registers another thing in RELATION to itself. The only thing we know of that
can do this is life [including devices devised by life] [Ed. - Gravity is
included here as it represents a form of autonomic observation over vast
distances, but this is not the time or place for that discussion].
Using ourselves in example, when we drive a car, we see ourselves and a multitude of other
things in relation to ourselves. An oncoming car is observed in a relativistic
manner; we compare our known identity, position and movement to that of another
thing being observed, another car in this example.
The reasoning behind QTD asserting both autonomic and relativistic
observation as different in quality and quantity becomes more apparent as we
discuss the next sections, where we come back to this
argument from a different angle.
Potential, & Probability - Forces of Nature?
A cornerstone concept of QTD concerns the nature of these two seemingly
simple words. QTD asserts that both Potential and Probability
[capitalisation is deliberate] exist as
completely non-linear forces or fields.
Let's have a go at this from a
different angle right away,.. Potential and Probability are non-linear in and of themselves, each
representing the opposite of the other. Potential exists as anything at all
that is possible and Probability exists as the ultimate resolution of the most
probable
outcome of everything that was possible. Potential exists as a negative
charge
which seeks to 'flow' into its polar opposite, Probability's positive charge.
Now comes the really interesting bit. A non-linear field can not directly
interact with another non-linear field. Neither have space, volume or time or
distance and therefore can not interact directly. This is where the physical
universe comes in.
[Ed. - Please forgive the
bolding, but it is necessary here for a pivotal
concept.]
The Linear Universe as an "Event"
QTD asserts that our physical universe is a medium facilitating the energetic exchange
between the non-linear fields of Potential and Probability. It is the
expression of the transition of energy between potential and probability. Each
point particle in our physical represents a continuous expression of exchange;
potential is resolved into probability.
OK, lets hit this point in another way
before we go on,... If there are two fields which are complementary polar opposites, there will
be an event of exchange; lightening is a great physical example that most of us have
witnessed in our lives. The charge within a cloud accumulates to such a level
that it, and its opposite charge in the ground can no longer 'ignore' each
other. An interface is formed for an exchange of energy, resulting in a stroke
of lightening reducing the difference in charge between ground and cloud.
Getting back to our physical universe now, that same lightening bolt exchange
between cloud and ground is what happens between the non-linear fields of
potential and probability, but not in the form of a brilliant bolt. Instead it
'bleeds' through a quasi-infinite number of tiny points of exchange - point
particles. So why take so much time to slowly exchange energy? In
every example you care to name, bringing a positive and negative charge into
direct contact is a short-circuit. Remember also that time is not relevant to either field PLUS there has to be a
'pay-off' for such a modulated exchange, which we explore shortly. [Ed. - Hint;
think of relativistic observation and the potentials released by imagination,
feelings etc.]
Temporal Distillation (Part 1)
Temporal Distillation is QTD's name for the process where the almost infinite
potential possibilities arising from this present moment are resolved by
probability's distillation into this new moment as the path to the single most enduringly energetic
'time-line'. To use a 'totally incorrect but helpful' visualisation, picture a
tree with a solid, single trunk leading to a point where many branches spread
into many smaller and many, many smaller branches. The trunk is the past;
history; what has happened within our linear reality. The point just before the
place where the branches start to spread out is the present, and the branches
represent the myriad potential futures, all in a continual process of resolution
under probability's temporal distillation.
History - up to this present moment - represents a singular present and past
which is the ultimate expression of probability following the single, most enduringly energetic branch of all possible
future paths, at the universal level. That last point is a very important one
in QTD: the most enduringly energetic branch of all possible futures is the most
probable and therefore the line that probability [time] takes.
Why is It so?
The linear event - our physical universe - which is the energetic exchange
between potential and probability acts very much like the components of an
electrical circuit (another highly inaccurate yet very helpful simile) offering
something that a simple exchange between potential and probability can't; life
and growth. Our universe is an endogenous one, continually growing and
expanding; and the single largest force that drives the whole thing is
observation which allows potential to be realised - distilled by
probability into a singular present.
Now we come back to the two types of observations that exist in our physical
universe, autonomic and relativistic. Autonomic observation does not add any
strands (variations) of possible futures greater than the sum of its own
potential. In other words, autonomic observation just maintains the
equilibrium, obeying the first law of thermodynamics.
Relativistic observations are observations over and above those occurring
within the matter of the observer. Let's break that statement down a little. A
human being is made up of atoms and sub atomic particles, all autonomically
observing themselves and associated bits of matter according to the compounds
and structures in which those particles are involved. Because of the element of
life, rather than being just a pile of atoms all doing their own thing, a human
also observes things in a relativistic manner. A human experiences things, sees
and senses things and imagines and feels and plans and experiences.
Life is FAR more random than its component matter would otherwise be. Life
supplies observations OVER & ABOVE those observations between particles alone.
Life provides probability a far greater range of potential future paths to
choose from. Did you see the significance of that statement? Relativistic
observations increase potential, thereby increasing probability. Not only do
we, as humans (the only species I can speak for) see things relative to other
things, we have myriad other concepts, emotions and motivations, all of which
are the mechanism of an endogenous universe.
Relativistic observations give rise to more potential outcomes than the sum
of autonomic observations within the matter comprising the organ making those
relativistic observations! Every time a relativistic observation is made, a
little more energy is contributed back into the fields of potential and
probability over and above that contributed by matter's autonomic observations
alone.
Is the Universe really Expanding, Shrinking, heading for oblivion or
retracting into a big crunch?
This is probably one of the most contentious issues within cosmology. QTD
asserts that the universe will continue to expand until the reserve fields of
potential and probability require far more matter than there is in existence
THROUGH which to express itself. The reality of QTD is that there is an endless
series of Big Bangs, pulsing at relatively steady intervals (seen form our side
of time).
Let's go back to the Big Bang. If the possibility of matter and life exists,
no matter how remote, then the potential exists for all of life and matter. The
huge accumulation of charge between these two fields acts a bit like a lightning
discharge, resulting in a Big Bang and the formation of some very highly
improbable laws of physics which are actually biased towards the formation of
suns, planets, matter and life as we know it. As an illustration of how
improbable our universe actually is, if the big bang was one Billionth faster or
slower, the universe would be a giant cloud of widely distributed sub-atomic
'dust' or collapsed back into itself respectively.
The QTD universal model is one of an endless successions of Big Bangs,
probably separated by eighteen to twenty billion years as we understand them
now. Matter only has a finite lifetime in a linear continuum, and even protons
(the most probable or stable of all familiar atomic structures) will eventually
evaporate into heat, finally dissolving (in practical terms) into nothing. To
understand things on a cosmic scale, another Big Bang could already have
happened in some remote part of our universe (where it would have the least
impact upon our universe and its life continuing).
We know of no natural physical phenomena which can exceed, "C" - the speed of
light in a vacuum. Another Big Bang, happening physically a few billion light
years away, essentially would not be detectable by us for a few billion years,
the time it takes light to reach us from this new Big Bang. The most likely
scenario would be that by the time the shockwave and 'newest universe' became
evident to us here on earth, our sun would have already expanded to 'ingest' the
earth on its way to becoming a super nova.
Back to Observation and the Speed of Light
A pretty important question at this point is, "Why is the Speed of Light [in
a vacuum] a constant, regardless of relative velocities, observations etc.?"
Actually, lets have a bit more of a look at the implications of "C". [Ed. - C
is the notation for the speed of light in a vacuum.]
C remains the same, whether we are moving towards or away from a light
source, whether it is accelerating or decelerating. C remains the same. QTD
defines C as the maximum speed of wave form collapse possible within our
physical universe. Put another way, C is actually the speed of observation.
This is totally dissimilar to the speed of sound, which is the fastest speed
that a shock wave can propagate through air. In a vacuum there is no such
medium (like air) to carry those light waves.
For a while, there was considerable support for an invisible 'ether' theory
which was thought of as a field 'under' space that carried the waves of light
within it. The ether theory came undone when someone failed to notice any drag
created by this field acting upon any other physical object. Light continues to
present a bit of a problem, as does all electromagnetic radiation. This all
comes back to the whole wave nature of light and other forms of electromagnetic
radiation.
We know that waves travel faster in denser continuous media. In water, sound
moves at four times the speed it does in the air. In more than a vacuum, light
slows, which goes against wave form theory as we understand it; light actually
slows dramatically in certain media, like diamond where its speed is almost half
of its vacuum speed. The bigger challenge comes when on exiting a diamond,
light is INSTANTLY back to its speed in air! A classic wave would accelerate in
diamond and slow in air, where there are less molecules to form a shock wave.
OK, here in a nutshell is C according to QTD. "C” [Speed of Light in a
vacuum] is the maximum speed of wave collapse under observation from potential
to probability. Acceleration to or past C essentially leaves the observation of
the accelerating particles behind, collapsing the particle back to wave function
and super-position - essentially 'recycling' it back to pure potential. C is
retrograde to observation via non-linear probability interaction with the
present.
Einstein stated that matter can not be accelerated to C as in the process, it
would require infinite energy and at the same time, would acquire infinite
mass. If C is the maximum speed of observation, this makes good sense. Imagine
you are in a spaceship approaching C. The spaceship you are travelling in is
catching up with its own speed of observation, matter would begin to deform,
acquiring a shockwave of extra mass in every particle, creating more and more
resistance. Eventually, as the trans-light barrier was about to be touched
upon, the spaceship now weighs as much as all matter in the universe, obviously
resisting further acceleration since it now has a lot more mass to keep
accelerating.
Pretty obviously, if something has pretty much the same mass as the universe,
there is not really enough energy to accelerate it further. We end up with C
representing the fastest constant we have, the speed of observational collapse
of any wave form into particle under any condition. In the very improbable
event of a particle accelerating into that trans-light speed, the particle
itself would cease to exist as it has gone beyond its own capacity to be matter
and will simply cease to exist for that time that it exceeds the speed of
observation. Whether it comes back or not if it could decelerate is something
to be pondered upon, but only when there's little else to think about.
Quantum Vacuum Energy (Zero Point Energy)
The well theorised Quantum Vacuum is a conundrum in physics, kind of in the
basket marked, "we know its there and we'll just accept it!". To summarise its
basics; in every point in the known physical universe that you care to locate,
there is an 'available' quantity of energy exceeding that of the known universe. Don't get
too wrapped around the axle here, let's forge on for a bit and then come back.
The Quantum Vacuum, or Zero Point energy as it is often referred to, is the
non-linear nature of potential explored from our side of reality (linear
observing non-linear). At every point, any where and any time in our physical
universe, there exists more energy than the entire physical universe has.
Science hates conundrums which don't have empirical solutions, but this is
one of them. To explain how this is possible, we go again to QTD's assertion
that potential is non-linear and is the field of negative charge that forms all
matter in our known physical and linear universe. We know that non-linear means
that there can be no x, y or z axes so a non-linear energy field would have to
be available at every point at the same time. Here is the rub,.. from the non-linear side,
all points within a linear reality are the one point, both infinitely large and small.
This is QTD's solution to the quantum vacuum energy conundrum. Instead of
justifying why energy is so vastly available in every identifiable point in the
universe, being a non-linear expression of energy demands that it be equally
present in all possible points of a physical universe.
Event Horizons and Boundary Conditions
The next topic to cover is the process of transition from non-linear to
linear. Pretty obviously, if potential and probability fields are non-linear,
there has to be a point where these field transit into linear form, with our
physical universe the ultimate expression of the event itself. I find a
visualisation useful here, even if yet again completely inaccurate AND limited
only to our current present universe (the main challenge is trying to fit a
non-linear reality into a linear mind, so please forgive the obvious holes in
these visualisations).
Imagine two energy clouds, one of potential and one of probability, both
floating in space adjacent to each other. Between the two clouds exist a thin
layer of matter. When observed very closely, you can see that there is a
constant stream of energy flowing from the potential field into this matter
layer which then changes the polarity of the energy passing through into
probability which flows into the other cloud. So far so good? Next concept,...
If you were able to look very closely at the layer of matter, you would see
that there appears to be a boundary where the nature of the cloud of potential
seems to harden and alter, becoming far more tangible than it is within the main
cloud. As this condition becomes apparent, you can also see that under this
boundary, the subtle change in potential is now seeming far, far more 'real'.
You also notice that instead of flowing consistently and uniformly into the
layer of matter, the flows tend to have stronger and weaker lines, corresponding
with the amount of actual matter (mass) it is flowing towards. (Ed. - we will
keep this visualisation 'one way' for now to save further complications.)
Looking at the other side of the matter layer, we can see a similar structure
in the probability cloud too. In fact, if we look very closely, we can see
probability in effect reaching into and slightly around all matter, seemingly
forming potential into matter like a dynamic mould similar to the process of
extrusion of wire or other molten to solid continuous moulding processes.
Let's examine what potential looks like 'under' the first boundary
condition. We see its nature continually and subtly altering, losing much of
its non-linear ambiguity and becoming a far more tangible presence whilst still
retaining some of its non-linear nature. Right near the event horizon of
potential becoming fully linear, we now see clear strings of energy flowing into
each particle structure, moulded by probability's observations into specific
wave forms of potential particles. Another thing we notice is that potential is
also gaining a certain amount of linear 'positionality' as it collides with
probability, resulting in the field itself, within the event, becoming somewhat
tangible, at least to other point particles.
Examining the process around a single quark now, we see that its mass is
directly and conditionally proportional to the amount of potential it is able to
transform through observation into probability, with the localised field of
potential 'flowing' in its semi-linear way into that quark. Expanding our view
slightly, we can see the nucleus of the atomic structure actually causing a
small 'suction' in potential around itself, attracting and repelling other
structures according to their properties of observation and directionality. The
difference in the 'draw' on potential is very localised and pretty much serves
only to hold these atomic structures within the same locality.
If we now look at this effect magnified, we see around a planet with a
significant mass a slight but tangible 'inflow' within the field of potential
which creates that planet's mass. The more massive the object, the greater the
inflow of potential. Yes we're talking of gravity here as an effect of
potential flowing into matter and forming mass. This is only one part of
it though,.. when enough mass accumulates, it effects the local probability
field as well, becoming essentially a self fulfilling prophecy as such. In
phenomena such as black holes, the mass is so high AND concentrated that not
only does it generate a depleted form of potential around itself, but also
funnels almost directly into probability, causing a second form of gravity, far
weaker than the first but still present around all matter and really only
measurable or noticeable in super sized objects of mass.
Concluding our visualisation for now, the mass of a particle is directly
proportional to the amount of potential it is able to express as probability &
probability's deterministic stabilisation of that mass.
The effect of mass is to create a minor 'decrease' in the immediate local fields
of potential & probability as it exists within the event horizon and boundary layer of matter
itself. At a particle level, these field create 'micro-gravity'
strong enough to hold atomic structure together under the probability load of
autonomic observation. At the macro level, any mass
is able to generate a localised, more enduring and lesser effect in the field of potential
and probability, resulting in gravity as we know it AND the forces that hold
atomic structures and chemistry together.
Temporal Distillation - Part Deux
Revisiting the Temporal Distillation process through which probability
determines and 'keeps' the most enduringly energetic branch of history, what
happens to all of the other possibilities,.. the myriad futures that 'lost' the
race and were superseded by the present? This is where anti-matter comes in as
polarities reverse and the potential matter and its energy is released back into
the non-linear. Science has long tried to justify why so little anti-matter
exists in our physical universe, the answer is that it does, but not in our
time!
As a matter of course, those very nearly winning branches of future exert a
certain level of influence within our physical sphere, as does the energy
release of Temporal Distillation. This is the most likely and 'conceivable'
reasoning behind Dark Matter and Dark Energy. This hypothesis also helps to
explain why there is so much more Dark Energy that there is Dark Matter. Energy
is released within the event horizon of the linear universe but not within our
exact, "Temporal Address".
Without the relativistic observations that life supplies OVER & ABOVE that of
the autonomic observations of chemistry (matter), the physical universe would be
an closed system, thermodynamically stable as far as it goes, but without a
mechanism of growth or renewal. It is the relativistic observation capacity of
life that makes our universe's physical laws so improbably suited to the
formation and sustainability of life itself. As many scientist have agreed now,
even the most pessimistic calculations show that life has to be pretty much
rampant throughout the universe. Does this mean little green men?.. probably
not. Intergalactic travel may be possible, but only by folding space (see the
summary), not travelling at trans-light speeds as science fiction holds dear.
Mind over Matter?
The next stop on our very short walk through QTD involves revisiting the
qualities of relativistic observation and what life contributes to the mix.
Just to recap; relativistic observations provide spatial and relative , large
scale observations; contrasted against the quantum 'autonomic' observations of
particles, the stuff of chemistry.
Complex life - being capable of relativistic observations - also contributes
chaos in the form of greater levels of possible outcomes than is available to
chemistry's autonomic observation alone. Chaos is the stuff which 'feeds'
probability's need for as many possible future paths to choose from. Life also
contributes a greater level of possibility than just relativistic observation in
that life has emotions, feelings, experiences, desires, motivations and the
whole gamut of other factors leading to a greater level of chaos than chemistry
alone can produce.
This is the universe's pay-off for being biased towards the formation and
continuance of life,.. chaos leads directly to an increase in potential and a
far greater level probability having the greatest number of potential futures to
choose from. Remember that probability is looking for the most enduringly
energetic line to follow, that which provides the greatest level of life/chaos.
Enduring (Persistent) Observations - The Psi Link
Here is the next big leap into the unknown for science, the conundrum of
enduring observation. When a wave form is collapsed into particle under
observation, it generally remains a particle!
[Ed. - unless our intent is to observe it as
a wave again - in which case it reverts back to
wave form!]
We can come back after a period of
non-observation and the particle is still a particle, no longer a wave form.
This opens a very uncomfortable and intangible can of worms (from science's
view-point) or maybe more a bucket of snakes,.. the mind!
If relativistic observations add chaos, and life's miscellaneous other
thoughts, experiences etc contribute to probability, than does it not follow
that thoughts, experiences etc. are also enduring? Run with me here for a
moment. If my possible reactions to seeing something on TV contribute to the
chaos upon which the universe 'feeds', then do not my emotions, thoughts etc
also contribute in the same way? Emotions certainly provide far more variables
than does chemistry alone; as does ambition, desire, and even faith.
Once a thought is had in the present, it remains enduring within probability
as the most probable expression of the individual in that time. In effect,
thoughts have power in the way that thoughts ARE power! Here is a big
question,.. is God the sum of all observations of a given universe enduring
within probability and potential? Is the God of this universe the same one
which is the God of a proceeding or following universe? Is there One Big God
which is the Mind of Life and Matter? OK, enough of this - QTD does NOT
describe God or even need to start into a debate over God, or more to the point,
religion.
Let's get back to the thought that thoughts might actually be enduring - and
if an observation is, then a thought must be too. Shamanic traditions have long
held that our thoughts reside in a 'pool' outside of ourselves and essentially
inaccessible unless in the state of a shamanic journey via whatever means.
Whether or not this proves to be correct, the 'fact' that non-linear and linear
does interact opens the though process that suggests at the very least, a mind
or Psi pool.
The Really, Really BIG Picture!
To use our somewhat helpful if not entirely accurate visualisation above, if
we were to look at the whole BIG picture in the same context, we would see from
a non-linear perspective two infinite fields interacting with an infinite number
of universes. If somehow we could constrain some version of linearity into this
picture, we would see that each successive universe is that much bigger than the
previous as the fields of potential and probability became stronger as life
contributes more and more chaos.
To give a physical picture of what our linear universe would look like
(forgetting light speed for a moment), we would see - like a huge firework - a
Big Bang with the resultant matter flung into a radiant pattern. As the matter
drifts further away from the ground zero, we see another Big Bang just before
the last lot of matter evaporates. Each Big Bang creates a temporary
equilibrium in the potential and probability fields as seen from a linear point
of view, and is therefore slightly bigger than the last.
The most important point is that every universe resulting from every Big Bang
is totally biased towards life, to the point that residual observations from
previous universes MUST have a hand in influencing the properties of the
resultant matter. This is because life allows the single most energetic outcome
for both potential and probability.
So where to from here?
One of the most common questions I hear from non-science people is, "what can
you do with this stuff?".
First,.. energy! If we can understand and engineer particles to provide a
highly potent probability, we can conceivably harness that resulting energy as
DC current to the point that a small power pack could provide usable energy at
levels until now beyond all but science fiction, harnessing the Quantum Vacuum
as a power source. Not only is this in the universe's interest, it will
increase chaos at the cosmic level.
Next; by harnessing the non-locality of a non-linear field and creating a
standing wave of observation, we can in effect super-position ourselves,
changing physical location without travelling. This is not teleportation, which
is incredibly complex and highly unlikely to ever happen like in, "Star Trek".
This is space folding, with a dual observation of here and there at the same
time, allowing a person to literally step or drive through the event horizon
into a different location. For those of a TV Sci-Fi mind-set, think a bit of, "Stargate"
without the special effects. Pretty much like standing in a doorway with Sydney
on one side and London on the other. This takes a bit of thinking about the
non-linear - intra-boundary conditions of potential, probability and matter.
Last, and by no means least in the most likely near term advances arising
from QTD is that of matter transmutation. A standing observation wave form that
alters one compound to a similarly energetic different compound. Forget carbon
capture, we might just be able to change our pollutants into another, more
benign form. Matter replication? Maybe, but it is all about energy and
balance,.. this is an area which is much more in the hands of theoretical
physicists at this stage as we have to account for all effects that each and
every action might have.
