Science
Occam’s Razor
when you have two competing theories that make exactly the same predictions, the simpler one is the better.
Occam’s razor is good for expanding knowledge, but there are limits.
When you have two competing theories, one being that human beings are created, the other that we evolved, and the simplest is better, that would lead to a belief in creation.
When you have two competing theories, one being that America does not exist, the other being that America does exist and the world is round, from the perspective of a European in the middle ages, if the simplest one is better, then there is no America.
Science is incomplete, there may well be immenseness out there that we have no idea of.
Faster than lightspeed
A probable view of light, from the perspective of moving faster than, and through the light that has already reflected from the destination and other places.
They say if you go faster than light you go backwards in time.
I think that’s wrong, and I’ll explain why;
We comprehend reality via our eyes, from where we stand. Anything at faster-than-light speeds and moving away from us would be invisible to the human eye.
If you image what it would be like to move at the speed of light, you would never be able to see behind you with human senses, and you would only see infront of you.
If you were to move faster, you would start moving through the light that had already reflected from where you started, perhaps giving the illusion of going backwards in time. You wouldn’t truly go backwards in time, you’d just see events that had happened earlier in time.
In planes that move faster than the speed of sound, it’s impossible to hear any noise from behind you, because you are moving faster than the sound from an event behind you, that’s why a bomber moving at over the speed of sound can see the flash from the bomb, but will not hear the explosion.
If you were in a silent plane moving faster than the speed of sound, without disrupting the air around you, you would probably hear things that had happened in the past, thereby going backwards through sound.
If you are moving at the speed of light, you won’t see a watch where you started from tick – the time piece will appear to be frozen in time, but the watch will still tick, well you wouldn’t see a watch where you started out from ticking anyways, and a watch ahead of you would tick twice as fast.
Light is how we see, that’s all you have to grasp.
Put simply, if you are going faster than sound, you won’t hear a gunshot behind you.
But you’d ultimately move through the sound waves ahead of you, thereby giving the illusion of going backwards through sound.
I hypothesise that light is the same; that one does not go backwards in time after exceeding light-speed, but rather can view events that occured prior to starting off on the light-speed flight, beause one is passing through the remnants of light.
Eyes see Light, Ears hear Sound
Sunset
“And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
- John 1:5
Our eyes pick up the fastest moving thing we have ever witnessed; light; but not the fastest thing of all, the expansion of the known universe. In 13 billion years, our universe has expanded from one point, to over 90 billion years across according to NASA. That expansion rate averages out to be approximately seven times the speed of light.
If there was something that moved so fast you never saw would you believe in it? Once, people believed that if you moved faster than a galloping horse your internal organs would liquify, currently we view the speed of light as an impassable limit, however;
1. we have always exceeded every other limit in the past, the speed of sound, the speed of a horse galloping, and
2. If anything moved faster than the speed of light we would be unable to observe it via our standard senses.
E = MC2
This equasion is brilliant, it shows the interrelationship between energy and matter and light, showing how each can flow into each other under the right circumstances.
We see with light, we hear and feel with matter, we are self-aware and energy flows through us all.
The Beginning
“God does not play dice.”
– Einstein
A complex game that always plays out differently
I differ.
Many games of chance involve a complex board; pieces; rules, and lastly dice.
For this game, the board is the building blocks of reality, the pieces are intertwined energy and matter and light, the rules are e=mc2 and gravity and string theory, and the dice is both within the rules and in the way the game plays out.
