I had a thought the other day
then quickly dismissed it thinking it was perhaps too obvious. My thought was a simple one, does the
observable universe follow the same patterns as atoms, only on a larger scale. I wondered if the birth of the universe was
like a solid, and as it expanded it changed into a liquid (or how we perceive a
liquid at a molecular level), and as it continues to expand it changes into a
gas (these are all metaphorically speaking).
Is it possible that the universe is following the laws of physics only
on a larger scale, and in so doing show us the way atoms work.
However since the universe is
much larger than our perceived notion of solid, liquid, gaseous states, we
cannot image it in any other way than the way we observe it at present. My reasoning behind this is as I have
mentioned before, is due to the similarities between atoms and the
universe. If we were the size of an
object observing the universe from the same perspective as we observe an atom,
I would imagine there would be plenty of similarities. An object which is mostly empty with a
binding force of dense material, enclosing small amounts of matter (I think it
is best to call dark matter a dense material or object, than use matter, as it
is not matter it is something entirely different to matter and in a way the
word probably misleads). I would
classify the newly discovered Higgs Bosom field as being the analogous form to
what we call dark matter. Alternatively,
perhaps it is not, we may in future know, but you have to admit there are
similarities in their purpose.
Now I think further, where would
dark energy come into this equation, forgetting my previous posts about dark
energy being a storage facility for our collective consciousness (though that
is still plausible), the vibration of atoms is the cause of them to disperse
and change from solid to liquid to gaseous states. Perhaps the reason for the discrepancy is our
perceived perspective of each object in our reality. As I have said before, our reality must
manipulate our perspective, as a magician or illusionist does, to make what may
seem impossible seem possible and plausible.
It can only be this way, as we see our universe, our reality as
perfect. I am digressing slightly.
I believe we are part of a large,
complex pattern of continuous evolution, and somehow for whatever reason it is
our gift to try to understand it. The
pattern is simple, at least it is in our reality, and all objects are part of a
larger object and made up of smaller objects. Whether this is infinite, we will never know
but I believe it is and that we are unable to comprehend that at present,
because our perspective parameters have not reached that level yet. Another part of the pattern is the transference
of energy from one form to another.
Whether this is the true purpose of the universe is unknown but it is an
essential part, energy has to change form constantly, and it seems to want to
find ever-diverse ways of achieving this, our brains are an example of a
complex incredible way to transfer energy.
Going back to perspective
parameters, we seem to have the ability to grow ours, I mean humanities, the
more we learn and achieve the further our perspective parameters grow. We are constantly growing, learning, understanding,
observing and thinking of ways to improve and perceive reality in a better
way. This continuous learning and
expanding could be seen as comparable to the expansion of the universe which is
one of the reasons I thought our consciousness is a small part of the ever
expanding universe.
Now I am really going off track,
back to the beginning when I first started this blog, I wrote about this stuff
then deleted it thinking it was more fantasy than reality. Of course, everything is fantasy until it
proved otherwise, and it is fun to use ones brain to think beyond and just try
to imagine what we are dealing with and how it works. Obviously,
this is just using my imagination, my brain, with all the knowledge I have accrued
over the years all the hidden details my subconscious remembers but I do
not. All of it working to create an idea
that in my view must stem from something.
I believe everyone has this gift if people bothered to use it.
So using that creative gift and enormous
imagination, I will continue.
The correlation between the
smallest objects we can observe at present and the largest is too much of a
coincidence to be unconnected. I do not
mean, how we observe them in a quantitative state, I mean the physical
attributes, the emptiness, the fact that the further we go into an atom the
more we find. The only constant in all
of this is that we humanity, with our large conscious brain, sit right in the
middle of this perceived reality.
Everything we understand and comprehend using our senses and our brains
creates a universe where we are the centre objects. I know everyone now says we are not the centre
of the universe but we are; we are the centre of our universe there is no other way
of stating this.
Everything is away from us from our perception of reality, from our
perspective. You could argue that this
does not apply to the atoms making up your own body, but still if you think of
it as you are the one object then everything inside you is moving away getting
smaller, and everything outside you is moving away getting larger.
What if, we were able to move
along the scale, as if using the electromagnetic scale for an example we moved
away from white light, the light we can see, and moved into the infrared scale
or the ultraviolet scale. Another example
would be if we were suddenly observing the universe from the size of a galaxy
or perhaps an atom. How would it
change? Would it change, would it be the
same as we perceive it, for some reason I suspect it would and would not at the
same time. If we were a galaxy, I
imagine stars, planets, and whatever exists on those plants would seem like
atoms, molecules, and the like, and the observable universe would suddenly
expand, and we would see more of what is the great universe. We would observe things that at present we
are unable to imagine. Perhaps when they
launch the new telescope into space we will see more of what the universe is, I
am truly excited about when we get the first images back from the James Webb
telescope whenever they decide to send it into space.
Now I think further the speed of
light and how we observe and perceive it, has always had a strange fascination
with me, why is it the way it is? Think
about it further, light is photons hitting our eyes, then I presume though
cannot be certain, an electrical pulse is sent to the brain and it creates an
image. Does our brains capacity to
transfer the energy of light into an image determine the speed of light? When we measure the speed of light, using
instruments, we created, and observations we make, then from this we use the
same brain to calculate mathematically what it is we are observing. I have had many arguments with friends who
did astrophysics as a degree course that the mathematical equations for the
laws of physics are set in stone and that is the way the universe works, end of
story. My argument was always, it is
only from our perceived reality that we can assume these laws work, and it
is ignorant of us to presume it is the same if we were in a different reality
or perspective. Then again, we are not
in a different reality or perspective, but we now know other realities exist,
and certainly, other perspectives exist also.
I would say the first person to observe the universe from a different
perspective or reality would be a cert for a Nobel Prize.
Anyway I have waffled on for too
long, but I feel it is good to flex ones imagination now and again.
