Origin 5: The Cosmic Casimir Effect

This series comprises four entries….. Consciousness, Love, Origin 1 and Origin 2– The Quest for Proof. I will expand the series as needed and as more research is done and evidence comes in. Im confident of my position on this, as both science and spirituality seem to be on my side as of now. Stay Tuned!

I find that in our attempts to reduce everything to fundamental parts we lose the forest for the trees, so to type. Whether we’re talking about the mind-body interaction of a single person or the whole structure of the cosmos, we’re learning that, upon closer examination, the forces at work which create the tapestry we see as reality have such abstract qualities that reduction only reveals a single facet of their properties– that to understand them more fully, we have to look at the big picture and see how everything is connected to each other and how interactions can occur between particles and people that are a vast distance apart. We learn that space is nonlocal and that time is just an invention of perception. And in so doing, not only do we learn a lot about the universe, we learn a lot about ourselves.

Ive recently been working with a selfcreated model where ZPE concentrations throughout the multiverse are determined by whether a given universe is expanding or contracting. As a universe expands, it gains ZPE (“dark energy”), thus maintaining a similar ZPE density, even though it is expanding (thus solving a major “unsolved” problem in physics)…. and a universe which is contracting is actually losing ZPE to the bulk because as a universe ages, more massive stars turn into black holes and suck ZPE out of the universe at a faster rate than the rate at which it is being pulled in through worm holes (as it starts to lose its dark energy, gaining entropy and “coming back empty” but still maintaining a similar ZPE density since its volume is decreasing) which then is gained by expanding universes through a process that is analogous to “osmosis” through black hole worm hole conduits on various scales (but especially through quantum foam as the Casimir Effect.) After all the dark energy is gone, the black holes slowly evaporate, but not before their gravitation sets the universe on the path to collapse and lays the groundwork for the next big bang cycle. Averaging out the various universes in the multiverse that are in different stages of expansion or collapse creates a consistent cosmological constant throughout the multiverse. Thus the density fluctuations of ZPE throughout the multiverse (in addition to black hole worm hole conduits) not only determine the rate and direction of net ZPE transfer between different universes, they also determine which universes expand and which contract through a mutual feedback process and maintain an overall balance in the multiverse, thus nothing is created or destroyed and Conservation Laws are maintained.

I will probably start writing another paper on this when I’ve worked a bit more with this model.

Physics hates singularities and one of the problems with Relativity is the fact that it creates singularities, not only inside black holes, but also at the level of the big bang. As a matter of fact, the mere fact that black holes have the “singularity” in common with the big bang leads one to the natural conclusion that the big bang actually occured inside a black hole– and thus our universe itself is inside a black hole inside, perhaps, an even larger universe. I wrote about this a while back, and towards the end of April, I saw a paper published about this very possibility, by a physicist from Indiana University. Any theory of everything will have to iron out the singularity issue as well as combining quantum physics, gravity and relativity under one umbrella.

One of the leading frameworks for a theory of everything is loop quantum gravity, in which the basic formula for density (mass/volume) breaks down under 10 planck lengths and thus avoids the singularity issue. As a matter of fact, as you get closer and closer to infinitesimal volume– density goes down to near zero! Why does this happen in LQG and not in Relativity? Because one of the mistakes Einstein made was looking at space-time as a continuum, when as a matter of fact, it’s made of discrete particles at the Planck scale– in other words, as you get closer and closer to planck scale size, the “holes” between the particles of space-time get larger and larger in proportion and thus the total density of the psuedo-singularity goes down. Eventually, nothing is left but the hole– thus density goes down to zero!

All of this is interconnected and this mere issue of density going down to zero is what can make our universe exist inside a black hole. Not only that, it’s what could make black hole – worm hole travel possible, since journeying through a black hole with near zero density in the center (as opposed to infinite density and unbearable gravity) is really impossible. But there’s a lot more.

The above is one of the reasons why there is a great disparity between quantum mechanics and relativity. But there are others. One of them is that space-time itself disappears at the quantum level. Locality itself breaks down! See my article in the science forum about quantum teleportation and the new record distance of 10 miles? I think that’s just the tip of the ice berg. At the quantum level, there is no “speed of light barrier” and no concept of “here” and “there”– as every part of the universe is adjacent to every other part (since the origin of the universe itself was as a single particle) and this is why quantum teleportation, superposition and tunneling can occur. Quantum effects (according to some articles I’ve read) travel as much as 10,000x times the speed of light– and for this to happen, not only must space itself break down at that level, but time must also break down. This makes sense when one considers the fact that space and time are just two sides of the same coin and to go faster than light, you have to break down the concept of time as well as space. Brian Greene makes just this sort of proposal when he talks about how space-time is just an artifact of some more fundamental effect of the quantum level and by extension, so is relativity. This occurs on the subplanck level where space is replaced with hyperspace and time with imaginary time (explained further below) and these are the fundamental dimensions of the bulk, the background fabric of the omniverse and the template upon which space-time (and all higher dimensions) are built. It's also the source of the great ultimate duality of the omniverse-- zero point energy and gravity (which is why gravity is so strong in black holes)-- which balance each other out on the ultimate level and keep the whole system from either expanding into oblivion or collapsing in upon itself like its individual island universes do. And Stephen Hawking said recently that the only way for FTL or time travel to be possible is if we can take quantum effects and somehow make them manifest at our level– at the macroscopic level.

Well, if we combine the ideas of Hawking and Greene, with the ideas presented in a recent paper by that physicist from Indiana University we come up with some interesting ideas. What if our universe is a mere particle inside a black hole inside a larger universe? Then it’s possible that what we call “macroscopic” on our scale is actually subplanck on the scale of that larger universe– in other words– our whole universe would be nothing more than a quantum particle inside that black hole inside that larger universe– and we would be subject to quantum mechanics not relativity if we could tunnel from one point in our universe, through the black hole and back into another point in our universe (or even into the larger universe– or some other universe entirely!) This would also explain the large scale structures of our universe– galaxies, superclusters, supervoids, etc, as being a function of quantum effects that the early universe was subject to. Thus quantum effects = macroscopic effects on a higher level. As a matter of fact, inflation of the universe at many times light speed during its early history was itself responsible for the creation of matter and energy in the universe from the transitioning of the universe from a higher to a lower energy state through the actions of the inflaton scalar field as it transitions to its lowest energy state. Thus conservation laws are maintained throughout the whole system. Of course, all this necessitates the existence of the multiverse– or omniverse as I put it (to allow for universes of different physical laws, so that we dont have to invoke the anthropic principle– that our universe is “special” in some way) to preserve causality and to allow for the fact that all time– past, present and future– exist at every moment– and thus (paradoxically enough!) time does not exist (at least as we know it.) Poking a hole through our universe and into this larger universe (or black hole) and back into another point in our own universe or into another universe at low enough energies to be manageable by our technology at some future state of development would be analogous to superconductivity (or fusion) at near room temp.

The idea of our universe being a mere particle is an interesting one and reminds me of something which cosmologist Andrei Linde said (author of Chaotic Inflation theory) concerning the idea that, inside the new Hadron Collider, we might actually be producing our own microuniverses. The fact that our universe may have itself been generated inside that larger universe by an intelligent entity or entities is a possibility in the same sense. To us, the universe would seem to be expanding, however, for some hypothetical being inside that larger universe, since our space-time curves in upon itself, no change would be noted. How would this hypothetical being communicate its existence to us? Perhaps in the very values of the physical constants that we find so puzzling– like pi, the natural logarithm base e, the alpha fine structure constant, etc. These numbers, which seem so random and meaningless on one hand and yet define all of reality as we know it on another hand might be the hint that being or beings unknown are giving us to be aware of their existence. Perhaps one day we could do the same inside an artificially constructed universe of our own making and design….

The ultimate fate of the universe would also depend on conditions that existed at its inception– at the big bang. Our universe exists inside a false vacuum that could tunnel into a true vacuum at any time– but doesnt. (Although there is concern that construction of bigger and more powerful supercolliders could get us there by the year 2150 or so, in which case– if our universe ever did tunnel to a true vacuum, it would change the fundamental nature of the universe, by altering laws of physics and make life as we know it not possible– a very speculative and noncheery thought ) Where loop quantum gravity and string theory come together and attempt to explain the low value of the cosmological constant is on this level– where the exponentially expanding universe expands so fast (thanks to dark energy) that bubbles of lower energy vacuum formed during the inflationary phase of the universe (when it was expanding at much faster than light speeds) never collide and thus the universe would never tunnel to a lower energy vacuum and the bubbles would eventually dissipate. According to the cyclic model of the universe, the presence of dark energy in our universe would not only expand the universe, but at some point in the distant future the interplay of dark energy and gravity would halt the expansion and allow it to come back and collapse back on itself once again (as a natural result of increasing entropy.) This would mean that the big bang wasnt our universe’s only big bang, but just one of many in a long series– something which string theory and loop quantum gravity both seem to be agreeing upon. If this is the case, then at each big bang, the “walls” of the universe would turn inside out as the universe expanded in an opposite direction and the existence of time independent of our universe (since our version of time actually began with the most recent big bang) would be called imaginary time (imaginary in the same sense as imaginary numbers.) This is another concept which opens up the idea of the multiverse, because if you imagine time existing on two axes, parallel time universes would be parallel lines plotted on a graph with both axes. These parallel time universes would all have the same physical laws and would thus be part of the same multiverse. Where the omniverse comes in is when you have different universes with different false energy values, which would bubble up as a natural result of space-time interactions with quantum effects (a natural extension of what we call the Casimir effect– but these virtual particles would be their own universes), each with its own laws of physics and, in a process akin to natural selection, these laws would determine the rate at which each of these bubble universes would decay and spawn child universes with lower energy states and the survivability of these universes would depend upon the various quantum components that lie therein. As a matter of fact, the existence of our universe inside a black hole inside a larger universe can be explained in this way– a virtual particle that survived the virtual phase and got sucked into a black hole inside that larger universe (or, heh, perhaps intentionally placed in an artificial one.) Child universes like ours could exist in a similar fashion inside black holes inside our own universe. The structure of these other universes (and their history and ultimate fate– early collapse, permanent expansion or oscillation– as well as the possible existence or types of life– and the spatial and time scales and dimensions it exists within) might be very different from ours, depending on their physical laws, when and if inflation occured as a result of the breakdown of the inflaton scalar field, as well as quantum fluctuations in the early history of the universe. Being inside the black hole would shelter the universe from any possible catastrophe occuring on the “outside” and since the rate of time (or the very nature of time itself) would be different in the larger universe compared to the smaller one, they wouldnt be in causal contact (just like we wouldnt be with any universe with different physical laws.) The universes would be separated by a sea of hyperspace, the original spatial dimension of the bulk (like imaginary time is the original temporal dimension), which can only be navigated through black hole worm hole tunnels, which represent the larger scale version of quantum tunneling through the universe and between different universes. Its interesting how everything is connected together– that the very creation of these miniuniverses is the reason behind the expansion of our own universe and perhaps its ultimate collapse and rebirth (just like we might be doing for that hypothetical larger universe we reside within.)

Origin 4: Consciousness

The universe has a beauty of its own, like a fractal whose repeating patterns create unexpected combinations of complexity that retain hints of the underlying original; based in simplicity, yet evolved into elegance.


As for laws of physics, I hope you know that the specific "laws" change from the level of the subatomic (quantum mechanics) to the level of classical physics (newtonian) to the level of relativity (cosmological scale.) Basically, what this is implying is that the "laws" of physics as we know them are a subset of a greater series of laws that we are, at this point, too technologically inept to discover (and probably wont until we get down to the Planck scale-- or lower-- which even the supercollider wont be able to do.) With that said, I personally don't think reincarnation exists-- but I wouldn't presume to dictate my thoughts to anyone else-- obviously, each person has a right to think what they want. This might seem absurd, but it might all boil down to whatever a person thinks is going to happen is what's going to happen to them. And, I can envision scenarios where the superset of physical laws of which we know only a subset wouldn't take much of a tweaking to separate consciousness from our physical bodies-- and once you do that, pretty much anything is game. I remember reading an article in a journal (an abstract of which I posted a year or so ago) about scientists discovering intelligence and a higher level of consciousness than anyone expected in a unicellular organism (something which none of the working models could possibly envision) and how it could pave the way to changing how we think-- literally! The idea of a collective unconscious spreading throughout the universe has gained quite a following, and its conceivable that ESP and sixth senses are simply a manifestation of such-- like ripples undulating across the cosmic web of consciousness-- which would make sense, since these extra senses seem to be particularly perceptive when they involve a person close to us being in peril, even if they are far away in distance-- which would not matter, as the majority of our consciousness, and thus who we are, exists in higher dimensions (which makes what we perceive as consciousness just a shadow of what we really are). Using this model as our guide, consciousness would truly be immortal, as in extra dimensions, not only do the spatial dimensions not exist, but time doesnt exist either!

Well, I suppose if a unicellular organism can have some level of intelligence/consciousness like in that journal article I quoted earlier, that would probably include bacteria. What's central to this argument is what consciousness really is and that is something no one really agrees about. For myself I find myself attracted to the quantum theories of consciousness because its fascinating the way reality works on that level. The fact is that any classical mechanics approach to consciousness has hit a brick wall.




We are a "manifestation" of the universe. The thing we cant get away from is the fact that we arent independent observers-- we ourselves are a part of the universe we're observing and this, I think, is the reason why we make intuitive leaps when new scientific discoveries are made. We have an innate knowledge of the workings of the universes inside our minds-- because our minds are a part of said universe-- and so, while it may seem that revolutionary ideas like Relativity and Quantum Mechanics came out of "thin air" (like many discoveries-- for example the chemical structure of the Benzene ring came in a "dream")-- its more likely innate knowledge of the universe that we are a part of that's inside of us. Did you ever read about platonic solids? They're these special three dimensional geometric shapes Plato created and named and said were the perfect forms of nature... thousands of yars later chemists discovered that crystalline compounds do indeed take those complex shapes! And our immense curiosity to learn as much as we can can be seen as the universe trying to learn more about itself. I'd like to think there are countless intelligent species across the universe trying to accomplish the same thing.

I like to think that we are part of a manifestation of the universe that occupies various corporeal (for lack of a better term) forms in an attempt to experience itself. Under that premise, I would think of consciousness like matter, not able to be created or destroyed, but able to change states and transition to different planes of existence.

All religions are diluted by the environment under which they were born and flourished. Ive always thought that humankind takes what he/she can understand of the "truth" (if an absolute truth even exists) and waters it down to what he/she is familiar with-- and thus, religion is born. So we have things like people being made in the "image of God," etc. (oh really, then what about the possibly thousands of other alien civilizations that might exist across the universe-- are they made thusly also?) I do think each religion takes a kernel of truth and evolves a mythology around it to make that kernel of truth more palatable.




I believe the "soul" concept was created by religion because at its inception no one knew what the concept of "consciousness" meant. And we still dont lol.

Referring to the law of conservation of mass-energy, mass is a form of energy and can be created or destroyed through particle-antiparticle annihilation or e=mc^2 but since mass is just another type of energy its just a phase transition. At any rate the conservation of mass-energy itself appeared to be broken when it was discovered that virtual particles can be created or destroyed for brief periods of time (Casimir Effect) but more than likely, this is proof of the existence of a multiverse, where the conservation law is maintained across different dimensions and/or universes (or parts of our universe) as matter gets winked out of existence in one part of the multiverse, only to wink into another part-- seemingly out of nowhere. My theory was that this is the result of microblackhole-wormholes embedded inside quantum foam The different planes of existence idea is central to my essay "Origin" and was probably first popularized through the ancient Greeks by the great philosopher Plato (read "The Allegory of the Cave.") The idea of multiple dimensions, long a niche of science fiction writers, was brought to the forefront of physics by Hugh Everett and his MWI (Many Worlds Interpretation) and it, along with the standard model, are the two most influential interpretations of quantum mechanics. The reason why MWI is gaining popularity is because it offers an easier approach to the unification of the 4 fundamental forces as well as the origin of the big bang and what happened before. Its interesting that both major theories of unification (string theory and loop quantum gravity) contain the central idea that there was another universe before the big bang, it collapsed and then our universe came to be-- and this cycle might continue indefinitely, not only here-- but in other universes with their own sets of physical laws-- which would be a way around the problem of fine tuning (why are the laws of physics the way they are in our universe?)


Ive seen some scientists themselves question the dogmatic closeminded approach of their peers (let's face it, most new scientific ideas were met with mockery at first)-- I think its part of human nature to always assume that one is right-- people just dont like feeling like they just dont know-- it removes their sense of control over their environment and makes them feel insecure and vulnerable.




I like to think of reality as being a multifaceted existence that has so many twists and turns that its like a labyrinth, and evey time you think you have the path all figured out, it morphs into something completely new and different.



It's the ultimate power of the "uncertainty principle" as soon as you feel like you're coming close to figuring it out it shows another facet for you to learn.


I think that our consciousness does exist in the higher dimensions and that helps to explain it as well as ESP and things like creativity, intuition and instinct. I believe that animals also have consciousness that extends into the higher dimensions and it explains things like group memory and innate instincts which they are seemingly born with (all creatures and even inanimate objects contain all the memories of their kind buried within and even of the ones they inhabited the plane with along with their predecessors, which would be accessible, like a fossilized record, given enough patience and energy.) We all tap into a collective subconscious that helps us analyze everything around us on a higher level, make intuitive leaps (sort of like informational wormholes going through extra dimensional shortcuts!) and thought experiments. Perhaps when we make these thought experiments we really are doing what we are thinking about in these higher dimensions, where physical action isnt necessary in order to perform work-- because of the much higher energy level of the bulk and the ability of the mind to focus that energy. This would fit in nicely with ESP also. All of creation, great and small, has consciousness-- even inanimate objects. Its just a matter of degree. Plants have a higher level of consciousness than rocks, for example, and their consciousness extends further into the bulk. Animals exceed plants and so their consciousness penetrates the bulk even further than that-- with human beings having the greatest penetration into the bulk of them all (out of earthly creatures.) The same goes for penetration into this side of reality (which is why we can speculate about what's going on at the other end of the universe or about the far flung past and the far away future and other animals cant.) But while consciousness is most concentrated in us, the sheer size of the oceans and the continents and of the earth itself gives it the greatest total amount of conscious energy; its just much more spread out, diffuse and operates on a very low frequency hum. Just like with all creatures and objects, tapping into this energy would open up a vast reservoir of historical and future knowledge for us (like telling us when the next earthquake might hit and where or when and where the next hurricane might strike or going into the past, we could see back to the origin of life or the last death cries of animals during a mass extinction)-- for the power of conscious energy is not only dependent on size and concentration of the energy but also on the age of the creature or object. The sun has much more conscious energy than the earth; not only because of its size, but because of its electromagnetic properties, particularly its strong magnetic field. The stronger the magnetic field, the stronger the consciousness-- regardless of size. (Just think of the consciousness levels of pulsars and rapidly rotating black holes that swallow information by the ton!) If you want to see an even more vast consciousness that operates on an even lower frequency consider the galaxy (again active galaxies with strong magnetic fields, such as M87, have the highest consciousness-- and clusters and superclusters even more so) or even the universe itself-- whose conscious energy can actually be measured as the CMB-- and as such is gradually going down in terms of concentration but staying the same in terms of overall strength (this being a fundamental conservational law of consciousness within each universe-- that even upon death, the consciousness gets redistributed, whether in our universe or its antiverse) and once it gets to nil it will big bang again-- the most epic scale of reincarnation there is! The full history of the universe is written in the CMB and hopefully we will one day become evolved enough to read and decipher it. The amount of subconscious energy of every creature and object in the omniverse-- let alone our universe-- is written in the ZPE of the bulk and this is where it resides, forming its connections and creating the collective. As a matter of fact, the full history of all universes, including the ones that predated us pre Big Bang resides in the energy of the ZPE and could be accessed as the collective consciousness gets more evolved and powerful (Kardashev scale 3 or higher?) The "inside out" theory of LQG facilitates this in shedding the universal consciousness into the bulk upon each Big Bang (both conscious and subconscious come together), only to begin anew. In contrast, the amount of conscious energy of each creature and object resides within the ZPE of the space-time fabric of its particular universe during its existence. And consciousness isnt something that stays static, as it can vary between individuals and even in the same person depending upon health, time of day, interactions, etc. Higher penetration leads to a greater display of properties of ESP and a feeling of connectedness-- including creativity, intuition and ESP. I think you can draw an analogy between the conscious/subconscious mind and the structure of quantum foam both on our side of the space-time fabric and the bridge into the bulk. The conscious side is the part on our side of the space-time fabric and the subconscious is the part on the other side. Think of it also in terms of leftbrainedness and rightbrainedness. Those who are more connected to the subconscious are literally so, with more of their mind on the bulk side of the divide, connected therein to the "collective subconscious." Those whose minds like to think in more concrete terms have a stronger connection on this side of the fabric-- the "conscious" side. This isnt a static feature; like I said before, it changes with exposure to the environment-- such as encountering other "connected individuals"-- and to changes in health (physical and emotional) and at different points in one's development and life. As with quantum foam, we can create similar black hole - wormhole pairs, but in this case we're talking about informational bridges. An informational black hole would be someone who can suck in information from other individual's subconscious or from the collective (a "receiver.") An informational worm hole would be someone who can deliver information to others' subconscious (a "sender.") Some will be one or the other; others will be both. In all cases, since we are talking about thought processes occuring outside space-time, there is no regard for distance or time; the information can be received across unconnected space or even through parallel timelines. Sometimes involuntarily (which can cause confusion) as the person might not know they are receiving or sending (that is, they are "untrained"), which is one of the properties which affects how strong the abilities are-- and the property most prone to change their strength (this is strongest in children, as their minds are the most flexible to learn new things.) People with these special abilities can even communicate with animals (since animals also have a conscious/subconscious structure) and might be able to perceive such things as ghosts and spirits, which are trapped on the barrier which separates a universe from its antiverse (whereas perhaps normal spirits merely pass through to the other side and are reincarnated in antimatter form in a cyclic pattern. This would also explain why animals and children are more keen on sensing presences, as they have been less conditioned by the concrete environment, which makes up for lack of training and, in the case of animals, lesser ability.) If alien species exist, and I think they do, we can even communicate with them through the collective subconscious, as their minds would be subject to the same rules and abilities-- except, depending on the evolutionary development of the species, they might be much stronger and more concentrated than ours. Tapping into the minds of the oldest alien civilizations in the universe would be like tapping into the history of the universe itself (regardless of whether it was made of matter or energy or both!) The vehicle of delivery or sending information can be as varied as anything from dreams to remote viewing to telepathy and can even be made to do physical work such as psychokinesis or teleportation. Its even possible that the act of conducting thought experiments really are experiments being conducted by our subconscious through action in the bulk. Its possible that re-experiencing memories or anticipating future actions or telepathy is nothing more than time travel through the bulk, while viewing our memories through portals in the fabric of space-time (perhaps this is the case with all thought experiments or creative ventures also)-- and sometimes it actually feels that way! In these thought experiments or dreams we can rewind time, freeze it, or fast forward it and freeze it at a particular moment and analyze the full experience the same way a video replay would-- a talent Da Vinci is said to have possessed to a high degree. And the subconscious can even extract the energy of our life force and create such things as astral projection or out of body experiences. What gives it the ability to perform such incredible feats? Its simple: at the quantum level the definition of space and time break down and the properties of nonlocality (entanglement, superposition, tunneling, teleportation, etc.) take over. It is the very quantum nature of our minds that enables our minds to understand the universe-- for we are made of the same fundamental matter and energy the universe is made of and were created at the apex of the current evolutionary pathway in an attempt by the universe to understand itself. This desire to understand itself is such an intrinsic and basic quality that is built into every being that it exists on both sides of the space-time fabric. Collectively, its called "curiosity." The vehicle for its delivery and processing can be divided into the concrete and conscious (this side of space-time) aspects such as analytical and deductive reasoning and the abstract (the bulk or subconscious) aspects such as inductive reasoning, intuition (this is when we arent quite sure of how we know something-- we just know it) and creativity-- the basic building force of the universe both physically and mentally. Even when our creativity just involves visual processing in our brain such as thought experiments, work is being done in the bulk-- the actual experiments are being performed and energy is being focused and used. This is the same for any creative or intellectual endeavor (like finding patterns, coming up with new ideas, etc.) , whether actual physical work is performed or not on our side of space-time. When doing thought experiments or exhibiting creativity our minds can simulate 3D space-time in the bulk, the same way we do "here." For further info refer to the article at the end of my paper. Creativity is the greatest force in the universe and resides within us as much as it does in the universe as a whole (since we are a part of it.) The frequencies that inspire creativity within us are shared by the cosmos as the frequencies of vibrating strings that inspire the evolution of large scale structures in the universe and beyond-- these are the undefinable but instinctive quantities that make us appreciate and adore creativity within others, in nature and the entirety of the cosmos and want us to replicate it ourselves. Its the central urge of the universe coursing through our veins! Even destruction has its place in creativity, both on our level and the scale of the omniverse, as it merely makes room for recycling and creation into a new form (nothing is ever truly destroyed any way, just changed and reorganized into a new form.) As an example of subconsious creativity, when I was writing Origin 2, I could literally feel myself in the bulk seeing these interactions occuring with my inner eyes! I guess the part of the universe that is centered on my brain was learning a bit about itself. What would be the peak or apex of the abilities of the collective subconscious? Nothing less than a universe-wide linkage of all life, great and small, plant, animal, human and alien as well as all inanimate objects, in universal harmony with a decided destiny. In other words, if we take it on a planetary level to simplify matters, it would mean that all animate and inanimate objects on the planet would vibrate on the same frequencies and there would be total and complete understanding among all-- there would be no secrets, nothing hidden and no reason for lies. We could sense each others' presences even when we and they werent in perceptual range (Im not just talking about one person sensing another person's presence via the subconscious, Im talking about a total experience where we would know what every other creature was thinking and doing and where every object was and what was happening with it and within it.) Imagine extending this to the galactic level, let alone universe level.... talk about informational overload! We would have to learn to dump the excess information into the bulk, into the webwork of ZPE from where it originated and where it belongs or to just ignore it and let it stay there.

Consider that when we die, our consciousness shifts to a higher (or lower) resonance, and we shift into an adjacent universe. In turn, energy from that or a different universe, shifts into ours as a birth. Populations differences are in constant flux across all these realities, with some declining, some increasing, but the grand total of energy remains constant. But occasionally, anomalies occur. Sometimes, a reprogramming of the pattern of energy is incomplete, and part of the “hard drive” remains intact. This incomplete formatting results in left over memory data being left behind, and a recall of portions of it will be present. The rareness of these glitches are reflected in the very low reported incidents of reincarnation. As a matter of fact, this occurs with recall of cellular memory in some reciepients of donor organs also. As stated earlier, consciousness is present to some degree in all forms of matter and energy-- animate and inanimate. It's just more concentrated in living organisms. The cell is the smallest unit of the animate (on earth, anyway.) And each cell possesses consciousness and even the full DNA of the whole. It has been found that unicellular organisms have a level of intelligence and consciousness, so why shouldnt individual cells of a larger organism also have them? And they do! But in service of the organism and for the good of the whole, their cellular memories get buried. But they are there and sometimes manifest themselves when an organ gets transplanted, as donor memories. The cells are confused about what happened to the organism they used to inhabit and they manifest their independence in this way, just as much as the recepient's body does when antibodies try to attack these foreign cells.

Love and creativity are intimately linked and enhance each other. However, for greater detail into my views regarding love, please refer to my essay "The Philosophy of Love." Suffice it to say that love enhances all the connections through the extra power that positive emotions offer. Like conscience/subconscience, love has both a physical and a metaphysical aspect and the former has connections on our side of space-time, while the latter has networks in the bulk, having been born of the subconscious and metaphysical energy which partially comes from transmigration (and thus the wisdom of age beyond normal time.) It also has the power to heal through prayer, psychic healing and enhances the abilities of ESP, such as when a loved one knows when we are in trouble or seems to be so connected to us that they can sense what we are about to do or say before it even happens across distance and time. Self sacrifice is the highest form of love, as it shows a recognition that the best parts of us exist within the ones we love and who love us and will survive long after we are gone and get passed down from generation to generation. This extends to animals and animal-human interactions also (as a matter of fact, it can be said to be stronger with animals and children because they dont let the environment, that is the physical aspects of love which come from genetics and our biology, taint the way they look at metaphysical love-- also called unconditional love-- with the physical environment, until they reach school age that is!) This is an enhancement of the informational wormhole I wrote of earlier. When two beings procreate (any two beings!), they are fulfilling the ultimate mission of love: to create another life form. In so doing, the new being both possesses physical aspects of the love of the originals (genetic) which resides in our part of space-time, as well as metaphysical attributes, which can come from a variety of sources, including the environment, parents and transmigration. The conscious part of the mind, the physical aspect, has its origin in the genes and biology of the parents also, while the metaphysical atttribute comes from the latter multitude of sources which mix together to create a new pattern-- which is exactly why recollection of reincarnation, with certain exceptions (or regressive hypnosis) can be so difficult. Dreams can be of great help in this area, as that is when the conscious mind is resting and the subconscious takes over (which is why various facets of ESP also seem stronger during dreaming.) Not only do we get a part of our consciousness and love from our parents and other people in our lives-- but we also give back and this two way reaction (feedback) results in appreciation of who we are and who they are and what we each mean to each other. We even do the same with our pets and other animals and plants we encounter and even inanimate objects we create or work with, such as artwork, writing, sculpture or architecture or utilitarian tools like computers, chairs, desks, tables bathtubs and beds and their original sources and the people who created and/or prepared them for us. When we eat and drink, we absorb part of the consciousness of where it came from and who prepared it and who created it, while the rest goes towards transmigration. There is a transference of consciousness back and forth between the creator and the object as well as anyone else who appreciates it (in most cases the transference is strongest with the creator, but sometimes the appreciators overwhelm by sheer volume of numbers or because they have a special relationship with the creator.) The total conscious energy of the entire cosmos might remain the same, but its redistribution results in much closer connections over the long run. Regrettably, so called toxic relationships also happen, as they are glitches in the hardware and they cause much misery for however long they last-- but they go against the basic plan of the cosmos. And not only can love enhance ESP, but so can confidence. That positive energy we feel is real and can be made to do work and to improve the whole mind/body interaction (including medical and psychological health and well being as well as relationships) and reinforce our connections and networks. Our aura, which is the electromagnetic manifestation of the health of our consciousness and its connections to others and an analog to a node of the CMB, is a reflection of this. There is also such a thing as the aura of the collective (an analog of the full CMB), which can be measured (and has been seen to take a huge hit after disasters such as 9/11 or the Indonesian Tsunami-- which animals did much better in, because of their very strong metaphysical connections, displayed as the instinct to read the signs the planet was giving them subconsciously and survive.) We also have a subconscious version of the aura, which exists in the bulk within the ZPE and grows and wanes with the strength of our confidence and all the other factors which affect the strength of our subconscious connections (its like a muscle, it needs to be used.) Upon death, besides transmigration, parts of our consciousness and love also exists in the memories of those who survive us and this gets passed down from generation to generation, through discussion and even through genetics, diluted through the various offspring-- but still, always present (the sum total always remains the same, as per conservation laws-- even if some gets distributed to inanimate objects we create or pets or other animals and plants we cherish.) Even extinct animals like dinosaurs pass on their genes to their descendants-- so various species of birds like cranes, which have an ancient lineage, would be the closest to them and still retain some of their characteristics-- both on a physical (genetic) level and a metaphysical (subconscious) level. The consciousness represents a complex interplay between the physical and the nonphysical and if one falls ill, the other one will suffer also. This is how psychological illness can affect white blood cell counts or how distinct personalities in mutiple personality disorder can be affected differently by different drugs, although theyre in the same body (multiple personality disorder or dissociative identity disorder may be considered a case of more than one consciousness occupying the same body-- as can some cases of possession-- in that case, the occupying consciousness belongs on the other side.) I see us as finally evolving towards Universal Love, which includes all animate and inanimate matter and energy and when we finally reach this peak of evolution then and only then will we finally realize our full potential and maximize our connections and abilities. I fear that this may only happen just as our universe is about to reach the peak of its expansion, just before starting to collapse inwardly and by then there will be no matter, only energy (including us) and we will then start to lose our memories as we collapse towards the next big bang and the energy begins to leak into the bulk, trying futilely to remember what will be forever stored in the bulk-- if we can only be lucky enough to extract that information with the next expansion from the library of energy which resides there (but, alas, we will have to begin anew-- like reaching the top step and then falling back down to the bottom of the staircase), as it has for each cycle!

Abstract


Recent research on time shows that one has to distinguish between physical time and psychological time. Physical time is run of clocks in space. Space itself is timeless. With clocks we measure material change i.e. motion that happen in space. Linear psychological time “past-present-future” is a result of neuronal activity of the brain. Observer is experiencing material change through psychological time. Observer is unchangeable and independent of psychological time running. This indicates that observer is not based on neuronal activity of the brain as psychological time is. Space and observer are both timeless. Here a proposal is taken that physical basis of the observer is space itself. In scientific exploration the process of observation is the function of space. Hypothetically every point of space has the function of observation. Human senses and brain are biological devices through which space experiences material change i.e. motion in space. Observer as a function of space is an integral part of the universe. This view opens new perspectives in understanding of Lorentz transformation and “proper time” of different inertial systems in Special Theory of Relativity.

Origin 2-- The Quest For Proof

http://physics.esotec.org/Unification_of_Physics-1.pdf

http://www.esotec.org/physics/index.html

The Planck length is related to Planck energy by the uncertainty principle. At this scale, the concepts of size and distance break down, as quantum indeterminacy becomes virtually absolute. This makes the Planck scale a fascinating realm for speculation by theoretical physicists from various schools of thought. Is the Planck scale domain a seething mass of virtual black holes? Is it a fabric of unimaginably fine loops or a spin foam network? Is it interpenetrated by innumerable Calabi-Yau manifolds,[1] which connect our 3-dimensional universe with a higher dimensional space? Perhaps our 3-D universe is 'sitting' on a 'brane'[2] which separates it from a 2, 5, or 10-dimensional universe and this accounts for the apparent 'weakness' of gravity in ours. These approaches, among several others, are being considered to gain insight into Planck scale dynamics. This would allow physicists to create a unified description of all the fundamental forces.

Sub-Planck physics Sub-Planck refers to conjectural physics beyond or smaller than the Planck scale. The Elegant Universe[1] by Brian Greene discusses briefly the strange world of the sub-Planck and how it "creates" the quantum universe by its averages. In his later work, The Fabric of the Cosmos, Greene states that "the familiar notion of space and time do not extend into the sub-Planckian realm, which suggests that space and time as we currently understand them may be mere approximations to more fundamental concepts that still await our discovery."



My questions:

Do other universes exist on our subplanck scale and is our universe on the subplanck scale of a larger "hyperverse?" I implied this possibility when I indicated that our universe might just be a subatomic particle in a larger universe. What if our universe is nothing more than a subatomic particle inside a larger universe and our universe is less than planck length inside the larger universe-- and there are sub universes which are smaller than planck length inside our own universe.... this would explain why laws of physics break down at these sizes-- the laws of the other universes take over.



That's why I was so excited when I found the paper about to be published about the physicist from IU conducting research in this area and that the idea of a universe inside a blackhole nested inside a larger universe might be our best hope of a unification of gravity, relativity and quantum mechanics.

I like this idea-- it makes it seem reality is circular-- who knows, maybe distance and size are so meaningless that when you zoom in far enough you get back to the universe you originally started from

I really like the idea of a circular reality where, after going through a bunch of universes you'd eventually get back to where you started because it avoids the problem of infinitely large or infinitely small scales, and a circular reality seems to fit well with the idea of a cyclic universe Although, to be more accurate, I would say that the omniverse has a weblike structure, in that all of the universes are interconnected, with Layer 1 parallel timeverses branching off to the side, while Layer 2 multiverses are "spokes" in the web, each with their own satellite timeverses. These spokes, and the interconnected weblike structure of the omniverse in general harks back to ZPE, which is also arranged thusly, and perhaps the omniverse's outline is based on that framework, and thus borrows its shape from the geometric arrangement of ZPE in the bulk.

And so begins Origin II-- The Quest for Proof. It looks like research is picking up the pace, as LHC is now operational (for the time being) and the aforementioned IU physicist has published his paper a mere two weeks after I published the "original" Origin. It can be found here: http://www.physorg.com/news189792839.html

Our universe at home within a larger universe? So suggests wormhole research

Einstein-Rosen bridges like the one visualized above have never been observed in nature, but they provide theoretical physicists and cosmologists with solutions in general relativity by combining models of black holes and white holes.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Could our universe be located within the interior of a wormhole which itself is part of a black hole that lies within a much larger universe?

In studying the radial motion through the event horizon (a black hole's boundary) of two different types of black holes -- Schwarzschild and Einstein-Rosen, both of which are mathematically legitimate solutions of general relativity -- Poplawski admits that only experiment or observation can reveal the motion of a particle falling into an actual black hole. But he also notes that since observers can only see the outside of the black hole, the interior cannot be observed unless an observer enters or resides within.

"This condition would be satisfied if our universe were the interior of a black hole existing in a bigger universe," he said. "Because Einstein's general theory of relativity does not choose a time orientation, if a black hole can form from the gravitational collapse of matter through an event horizon in the future then the reverse process is also possible. Such a process would describe an exploding white hole: matter emerging from an event horizon in the past, like the expanding universe."

A white hole is connected to a black hole by an Einstein-Rosen bridge (wormhole) and is hypothetically the time reversal of a black hole. Poplawski's paper suggests that all astrophysical black holes, not just Schwarzschild and Einstein-Rosen black holes, may have Einstein-Rosen bridges, each with a new universe inside that formed simultaneously with the black hole.

"From that it follows that our universe could have itself formed from inside a black hole existing inside another universe," he said.

By continuing to study the gravitational collapse of a sphere of dust in isotropic coordinates, and by applying the current research to other types of black holes, views where the universe is born from the interior of an Einstein-Rosen black hole could avoid problems seen by scientists with the Big Bang theory and the black hole information loss problem which claims all information about matter is lost as it goes over the event horizon (in turn defying the laws of quantum physics).

This model in isotropic coordinates of the universe as a black hole could explain the origin of cosmic inflation, Poplawski theorizes.

Its wonderful to see ideas dovetail like this towards a common destination, as this is exactly where my thought experiment is leading to also. The Ekryptotic Model also jives with this, and creates new universes through brane collision (like with M-theory.) That the ancients came suspiciously close to this model of the omniverse makes me wonder if our brains arent the only tool we need to solve the universe and unification riddle! As a matter of fact, I can extend this further, and theorize that the omniverse that our universe resides within, had a unitary origin-- that is, it originated in one dimension, one force, one plane of existence-- and from wherein emerged everything else, our three spatial dimensions plus time plus the four forces and even the higher dimensions theorized by M-theory, not to mention the parallel timeverses and other multiverses in the omniverse also. This is where Imaginary Time comes in. That's the "time before time" or the time outside of space-time, which existed before the last big bang. Im playing around with the idea that there's an "Imaginary Space" also (which scifi writers call "hyperspace") which exists outside of our space-time and is the "sea" (in other words, in the bulk) that separates the universes and from which our 3 spatial dimensions emerged, just like time emerged from "Imaginary Time." Well, the way this would work is, the same way "cutting" through hyperspace would get you between two distant nonconnected points in space, "cutting" through imaginary time (maybe we should just call it hypertime) would get you between two distant nonconnected points in time. And thus, in a single shot, we can have both "effective" faster than light travel ("effective" because it doest really mean youre going faster than light, but merely taking a shortcut), as well as time travel. This is what happens when particles or photons exhibit quantum entanglement, superposition, teleportation, etc and violate locality, and this is also what happens in closed timelike curves. All the spatial dimensions originated from that one hyperspatial dimension and that all the temporal dimensions emerged from that imaginary time dimension. In other words, those two dimensions are the "quarks" of all the dimensions we see today, as well as the additional dimensions of M-theory. Basically, it means that on a really small scale (called subplanck) space-time ceases to exist and imaginary space/ imaginary time take over-- thus permitting this kind of strange behavior on the quantum level. This where I left things off in Origin, and as research continues in this area, and I refine my theories, I will continue with my work. Hopefully the LHC or its successor will get us to the subplanckian scale and -- who knows-- we might even construct our first black holes (baby universes?) and be able to examine the seeds of a new reality ourselves firsthand!

In Origin, I never got around to talking about Loop Quantum Gravity, as its a theory that competes with String Theory. I find it quite intriguing however, that LQG also allows for a universe to have existed before the big bang, and removes the big bang singularity (as well as black hole singularities) by calling for black hole densities to actually go down as their core diameter decreases to under 10 Planck lengths. How does it do this? Well, in LQG (like in string theory) space-time is made up of discrete units (unlike Relativity, in which space-time is a continuum), and this quantized version of space-time (the discrete units are of the Planck length) are arranged in spin networks. By removing singularities, it goes where Relativity and Quantum Mechanics cant go by themselves and even attempts to describe what lies beyond the edge of space-time (in other words, inside the "singularities.") None of our physics at the present time (not even LQG or string theory) can account for what occurs on the subplanck scale-- thus, some heretofore unknown physics is probably involved there-- which would likely unify everything-- one dimension, one force, one fabric to describe the whole omniverse! Likely, the outline of the omniverse is written on the face of ZPE at that level and-- we can dream-- maybe the history of all the universes that lie within; not only the superstructure of the superclusters and supervoids, but of each individual galaxy, star, planet, even forms of life! Like a fossilized record, but not only containing the past and present, but perhaps the future also who knows, maybe people with premonitions can read ZPE data subconsciously-- after all, our brains are part of the structure of the universe and would likely be able to accomplish that task on a deeper level.) In that sense, it might have great predictive value to show us exactly where our universe (and maybe even our species) is going-- whether its a cyclic universe, as I suspect, or something else. Virtual particles would be on the border between space-time and hyperspace-time and thus would wink into and out of existence as they travel from one disconnected point in space-time to another (or to another universe entirely) through microblackhole-wormhole bridges (which might actually be other universes with different dimensions than ours) embedded within the quantum foam. Now, how much information we can read out of the ZPE depends upon the constraints of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle; we might only be able to read a broad overview of the history of the omniverse, or we might need new physics to probe beyond the level of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Another intriguing fact is that, with the idea that our universe formed inside a black hole, the holographic principle comes into play. And it dovetails with the idea that the history of our universe can be described on a flat surface, the same way the holographic principle is applied to conventional black holes (which are, in all likelihood, the "outside" of other universes in their own right.)

Anyway, as I stated earlier, LQG allows for a pre-big bang universe, and the best way to picture this is to imagine a balloon collapsing. This would be the universe prior to ours. As it collapses to a single point, the opposite sides of the balloon would go through each other, and the universe would expand once again, but this time its sides would be reversed. If LQG is correct, the strength of gravity should massively increase on nanoscopic scales (because gravity is less diluted at this scale with only one or two dimensions to deal with)-- this is something that is testable within our current level of technology ans we will likely know whether LQG is correct once the LHC is fully operational. This would be the inflationary period of our own universe. Coupled with the cyclic model, which allows for dark energy to occupy the universe completely at its maximum extent, this takes care of the entropy problem (as dark energy is nothing more than ZPE that has infiltrated our universe from the bulk to balance out both sides.) This would create a double helix like structure for our universe (like DNA/RNA)-- showing, once again, how the universe mimics itself on various levels. Research is ongoing about what the prior universe might have been like, and some suggest that its larger structures were very similar to our own (because during each big bang, when the universe is the size of a particle, quantum effects take over, and the universe which results, is just like a huge particle, with its structures, the results of quantum processes-- including entanglement, superposition, teleportation, etc.-- and these might also be the reason why we have "bridges" (black hole - worm hole pairs) between different universes-- as these are the larger scale version of bridges that exist at the quantum level and cause all the bizarre effects of nonlocality! Its interesting that the quality of superposition (two particles at exactly the same location at the same time) and entanglement (basically one particle at two or more different locations at the same time), which seem like opposite properties, can both be explained by the theories of higher dimensions-- for while it seems like the same location-- there needs to be an extra dimension (hyperspace or the original spatial dimension and/or imaginary time, the original temporal dimension of the omniverse), which is not being included. Its like looking from above and seeing a bird fly over a house; it looks as if the bird is superimposed on top of the house, but that's only because we havent made an allowance for the third spatial dimension of depth. In the case of entanglement, tunneling and teleportation, two objects may seem completely unconnected in the conventional dimensions, but these are just shadows of their higher forms, which could be linked in the extra dimensions. Which fulfills Plato's vision from over two millenia ago! And these linkages are facilitated by the presence of black hole - wormhole bridges of various sizes, from the nanoscopic all the way through the supermassive. The existence of gravity requires the presence of additional dimensions to not only explain its source, but also the reason why its effects become diluted inside universes (which are basically just islands of different dimensions floating in the original dimensions of the bulk: the truest fulfillment of Immanuel Kant's vision of island universes two hundred years later!) and also why gravity's effects grow much stronger on the nanoscopic scale, even though there is less mass overall-- because, on the nanoscopic scale, the conventional dimensions disappear and we are back to the original dimensions of the bulk: hyperspace and imaginary time (which facilitates microscopic black hole - wormhole formation and is the fundamental state of the omniverse.) This is where we get the 11 dimensions from; the 3+1 dimensions of our own universe and its parallel timeverses as well as any other outside multiverses that have the same dimensions, forces and physical laws and constants but with a different amount of mass-energy (and thus a different length of oscillation) and different structures resulting from big bang quantum fluctuations (call that layer 1b), the 3+1 complementary dimensions of Layer 2 multiverses with their own laws of physics and constants (think complementary colors or quarks, with dark energy substituting for gluons, and likewise, increasing in strength as it expands-- until eventually, the rubber band "snaps" and it comes back, like the gluons and the strong nuclear force which confines quarks inside subatomic particles-- maybe the larger scale version of that is what guarantees an oscillating universe), plus the fundamental original space and time dimensions of the bulk (hyperspace and imaginary time) and the gravity dimension. I put forth the idea that there are also four complementary forces to the four forces in our universe (note that complementary doesnt mean "anti") and that these universes with complementary dimensions or a mix of complementary and "normal" dimensions will also have complementary forces or a mix, codependent on each other, as well as complementary force carriers (except for EM and gravity, which are always the same.) And each universe's identical but opposite antiverse (mirrorverse) will have all complementary dimensions and forces, be composed predominantly of antimatter and the total mass-energy of the universe/antiverse pair will always be roughly equal (roughly because this is also dependent on virtual particle interactions with the outside omniverse and the ZPE interaction with the bulk.) In these antiverses, to an observer from its counterpart, everything (including time) would appear to be going backwards and photons would appear to be the slowest particles, as everything else was apparently exceeding the speed of light-- although none of this would actually be the case. The only thing they would have in common would be light and its properties and its speed, which would also form their boundary. The funny thing is, someone from an antiverse observing its counterpart, would see exactly the same reversals! Dimensions and their complementary counterparts emerging from their fundamental versions in the bulk makes sense intuitively-- it preserves the dimensional "balance" (new conservation law?) the same way pair production does. Same goes with forces and their complementary counterparts. Dimensions from each 3+1 group can mix in another multiverse, but two complementary dimensions (or forces) cant exist in the same universe (which will lead to ways of classifying multiverses based on their physical laws and constants which come from the combination of dimensions and complementary dimensions and resultant forces and complementary forces they have, as well as total mass-energy content, the same way we do for stars and galaxies), much the same way matter and antimatter cant coexist (for example, we can have length, width, complementary depth and complementary time but we cant have length, width, complementary width and time or length, width, time and complementary time in the same universe-- dimensions [or forces] and their complementaries in the same universe would cancel each other out; that universe would be unstable and collapse in on itself as soon as it was formed [and all its energy would be released and add to the ZPE of the bulk and omniverse as a whole-- the clumping of the ZPE from the action of gravity, forming virtual particles in the bulk, which leads to the creation of more bubble universes and multiverses in the same way stars and planets are formed [and virtual particles in our and other universes might merely be nested universes, as they bounce from hyperverse to hyperverse {resulting from extremely high energy GRBs and cosmic rays, not only in the hyperverse, but within the nested universes also, right on down the line, until they finally reach their ground state and become stable in the bulk-- something we might be doing also; as the paper above noted, being in a nested universe would unify quantum mechanics and relativity}; the action of gravity on ZPE to create virtual particles is what created the extra dimensions, forces and the island universes in the first place, so they would just be returning back to their original source-- perhaps resulting in GRBs in adjacent multiverses to create more bridges and nested universes or even a local increase in the CMB {the history of created nested universes and multiverses being written in the CMB and the history of ground state universes and multiverses being written in the ZPE of the bulk would be fundamental aspects of the holographic principle-- as we have seen in some parts of the universe!] because, as the dimensions and forces canceled each other out, undiluted gravity would take over [this might even result in "dead end" bridges-- that is, black hole wormhole pairs that end in the bulk {because the bulk overall has more energy than any universe within because of all the dimensions and forces being unified there, thus the creation and cycling of a universe and its bridges actually follow the entropy law as they balance the virtual particle and ZPE content of the omniverse, all the while creating more universes!} instead of inter or intrauniverse in adjacent universes-- travellers beware!]-- but we NEED multiple dimensions and forces to dilute gravity and keep it in check! Black hole - wormhole bridges between adjacent multiverses with one or more complementary dimensions and forces between them might even facilitate the formation of multiple bridges between them and might cause excessive GRBs inside both and thus make life nonexistent or nearly so-- along with producing more nested universes! Something to ponder when you consider which universes might be likely to have life within. Antimatter is probably more prevalent in universes of complementary dimensions and forces also.) The intensity of gravity is tempered somewhat by the fact that the relationship between density, mass and volume breaks down at that level, as LQG and string theory have predicted and explained (the convergence of both on the same solution is heartening when considering the likelihood of this solution being correct.) So, whether black hole worm hole bridges are bundles of strings or loops (the more massive ones being more densely packed), the overall solution is the same. Earlier, and in Origin, I had discussed how subPlanck to Planck sized black hole - wormhole bridges might be embedded in the quantum foam (the virtual particle/energy/ZPE landscape of the omniverse.) This is facilitated by the Uncertainty Principle, which indicates that as we probe smaller and smaller distances and times, the peaks and valleys in the quantum foam landscape grow steeper and deeper and the virtual particles become more and more energized and thus the ZPE grows in proportion within each universe on successively smaller scales. What then happens is that, just as some have predicted that the LHC will produce black holes, they are produced "naturally" all across space-time on the microscopic scale, embedded in the quantum foam, as it is bombarded by extremely high energy cosmic rays and gamma ray bursts (this is the reason why gravity increases on the nanoscopic scale-- the higher amounts of energy on the smaller scales and the formation of black hole wormhole bridges and this would also explain the presence of dark matter, which sculpts the large scale structure of our universe in collusion with dark energy and ZPE.) Except that there are many many more of them than the LHC could ever produce as the intensity of these collisions is many orders of magnitude greater and far beyond our current level of technology (and for some time to come.) But this does give us the blueprint for creating our own traversable black hole wormhole bridges with resultant "effective" FTL travel ("effective" because it wouldnt really be going faster than light in as much as going outside space-time in a warp bubble) and time travel one day. And the smaller the space-time scale, the more massive the bridges are on both sides (and the more particles and energy they shuttle back and forth, thus leading to that steeper and deeper quantum foam), but also the more quickly they evaporate to more than make up for their increased mass and energy transport-- until space-time itself breaks down and the linkages are established between universes and between seemingly unconnected points in the same universe and into the bulk! Cause and effect become the same thing! The extremely energetic photons colliding with virtual particles along their route result in hyperspatial bridges (that is, black hole - wormhole pairs) between different points in our universe and other universes also. This thus provides the vehicle for more virtual particles and energy being shuttled back and forth intra and inter universe while maintaining Conservation Laws while creating more nested universes, more cosmic rays and GRB, more bridges and more nested universes. Yet another feedback loop! The dead end bridges mentioned earlier might be how some of these nested universes end up in the bulk and is also what maintains the ZPE balance between each universe and the bulk (and the ZPE is the fuel to create more universes.) The more massive virtual particles that become universes will have a much shorter lifespan (mimicking the lifespan of massive stars), because they will implode under the force of their own gravitation, but will become fodder for the next generation of universes as their energy gets released into the bulk and the rest of the omniverse, resulting in more ZPE, GRBs, cosmic rays, hyperspatial links, nested universes and etc. Thus we establish a feedback loop of highly energetic photons hitting particles creating bridges causing more particles to wink in and out which results in more interactions with more energized photons leading to even more black hole - wormhole pairs. Yet another circular feature of the omniverse! The mere creation of these bridges causes the destruction of space-time on the subplanck level (or the inability of it to exist in the first place), as the quantum foam becomes littered with nanoscopic black hole - wormhole pairs distorting space beyond all recognition because of the density of the bridges at that level and multiple closed timelike curves within close proximity of each other surrounding each bridge doing the same with time. As a matter of fact, what we perceive as space-time is merely the sum of all the interactions that occur at that level (and the black holes and worm holes cancel each other out on the macroscopic level hence we dont feel the extreme gravity of the nanoscopic level, or not nearly so, as we still have dark matter to deal with, which might represent the imbalance between black holes and wormholes-- thus the steepness and deepness of the quantum foam evens out at larger scales and makes space-time appear smooth and continuous in accordance with Relativity-- keep in mind, quantum foam exists below the scale of the "quantized" structure of space-time on the planck level, so this is what would exist "between" the quanta of space-time on the subplanck scale), so it can be said more accurately that its our perceptions that are distorted and that space-time and cause-effect dont actually exist, thus allowing for FTL space travel and time travel! This is exactly why all those nonlocal properties actually occur at the quantum level where space-time isnt smooth or continuous and why we need so much more energy to do it on our macroscopic level! The alignment of the black hole - wormhole pairs depends on which "side" the energetic photons collided with; that is, if it was in our universe, then the black hole side will be on our side and the worm hole on the other side and vice versa. In the case of intrauniverse bridges, they simply link two different parts of the same universe and the black hole side will again be wherever the collision occured. In the case of the bulk, its wherever an adjacent universe/multiverse collapsed and/or big banged. What determines where the wormhole will open up is the angle and intensity of the collision (lowest intensity dead end bridges leading to the bulk, the final destination of a stable and mature universe, next intensity interuniverse, higher intensity layer 1 timeverse, highest intensity layer 2 multiverse.) Thus universes which have an inordinate number of GRB and cosmic radiation of high intensities will have a higher number of microscopic black holes and will be stripped of their matter more quickly and gain dark energy more quickly thus bouncing back more quickly and yet produce more nested universes within a given amount of time, while universes that are less active have longer oscillatory periods (akin to more and less active galaxies-- yet another way that the omniverse repeats on different scales.) The black hole - wormhole bridges only exist for a finite period of time before they slowly evaporate and release energy, but they fulfill their mission of shuttling particles and energy throughout the omniverse and keeping the balance intact and leading to more bridge and universe formation. Not only that, but they also facilitate the balance of ZPE between the bulk and the universes, leading to increasing amounts of dark energy in proportion to the size of the universe and expansion. Which means that the presence of ZPE in the quantum foam in a given universe leads to even more ZPE-- like a chain reaction! Which eventually leads to the expansion of the universe coming to a halt (as all the matter gets used up; the universe reaches balance both with the bulk and within itself and all the black holes evaporate and the universe actually becomes smooth and continuous with no connections to external multiverses or the bulk and the parallel timeverses all collapse into the same universe-- similar to the collapse of the wave function-- and only dark energy remains) and the universe comes back to point size empty-- only to big bang and separate into satellite timeverses and re-esablish connections with other multiverses and the bulk again as GRB and cosmic radiation interact with matter all over again and create more nested universes (something we might be doing ourselves one day)! This is the ultimate of all feedback loops-- the oscillating omniverse! In the far far future, as the expansion nears its peak, the quantum foam landscape will start to become less and less steep as the amount of dark energy increases in the universe and space-time actually becomes smoother as larger scale black hole wormhole pairs take over the transport of virtual particles and ZPE with time. Until, eventually, those too will evaporate. Its a good thing, for otherwise we would be doomed to a universe that got ripped apart-- granted it would be far far in the future! How the next oscillation proceeds depends upon the quantum fluctuations that happen upon that universe just prior to and during the next big bang-- which might be triggered by something as simple as a virtual particle interaction with an adjoining universe or a brane on brane collision. We might even be seeing signs of big bangs in other universes through the action of extremely high intensity gamma ray bursts (GRBs) and cosmic rays which, while producing more hyperspatial links between and through universes, can also be a sign of the creation of a new universe itself!

Does this mean that the older universe was an exact duplicate? No. The larger scale structures, such as superclusters and voids were likely similar, but the galaxies, star clusters, planets, etc born from them were probably different, as there is an inherent randomness involved with quantum processes which would have larger scale results as the universe evolved. As I work on this paper, Im also writing another essay; this one concerns the origin of consciousness. The connections between consciousness, higher dimensions, and quantum mechanics has always fascinated me (some of the latest theories of quantum consciousness invoke the idea that the deeper parts of consciousness come from the original dimension, in the bulk, which is why confirmed cases of ESP might be analogous to quantum entanglement, superposition or teleportation, since the quantum field acting through the original dimension leads to nonlocality-- where classical space-time ceases to exist on the subPlanck level-- which harks back to the philosophy of the timelessness of the "soul"-- and Carl Jung's collective consciousness, which might be outlined by ZPE along with entanglement)-- because here you have not only the insight of modern physics, but also that of ancient philosophy. Its as if the human mind already understood this on some basic instinctual level, because we are a part of it, and we just need the mathematics of it to be ironed out and be at a level of technology where we can actually come up with the proof to back up our theories. In this way, we must pay tribute to Plato who, without anything resembling the kind of technology or math we have today, came up with the idea of higher planes of reality and how our senses could only perceive of a shadow of what existence really is ("The Allegory of the Cave")-- he even predicted how resistant that people would be at first to accept this idea, until they were confronted with irrefutable proof.

To reiterate my model of dimensions:

Original space (hyperspace) + Original time (imaginary time) + Gravity ---> RGB spatial dimensions (l,w,h) written on a fabric of black (t) plus the CMY complementary spatial dimensions (l',w',h') written on a fabric of white (t')



R=RED G= GREEN B= BLUE C=CYAN M= MAGENTA Y= YELLOW. Im using black for time because RGB are the additive primary colors (that is, on a background of black) while CMY are the subtractive primary colors (on a background of white.)

Endings

Cool. I am going to be home recovering from having the shrapnel removed from my lower back for the next few days so I will read this. I will convert it to a PDF and post it on my site in the research by others section, and post a separate commentary after I fully digest it. I think this is great.

 

"Endings"

An initial commentary to go with Alex Reynolds' "Origin"

By David Rountree

Well, Einstein believed in the Big Crunch. In other words, if there is enough matter in the Universe eventually gravitational forces will stop its expansion. At the point of maximum expansion, gravity will cause the universe to reverse its direction and it will begin to collapse under its own weight. This phase of the Universe's life is known as the "Big Crunch". 

Eventually, according to Einstein, all of the matter in the Universe will collapse into a super dense state and possibly a massive black hole. Some theorize that the Universe could collapse into the same state that it began as and then blow up in another Big Bang. In this way the Universe would last forever but would continually go through these phases of expansion and contraction, Big Bang and Big Crunch and so on... 

Einstein believed in a "Closed" universe

I do not.

Mathematically, if Ω > 1, then the geometry of space is closed like the surface of a sphere. The sum of the angles of a triangle exceeds 180 degrees and there are no parallel lines, therefore all lines eventually meet. The geometry of the universe is, at least on a very large scale, elliptic.

In a closed universe lacking the repulsive effect of dark energy, gravity will theoretically halt the expansion of the universe, after which it starts to contract until all matter in the universe collapses to a point, a final singularity termed the "Big Crunch," by analogy with Big Bang. However, if the universe has a large amount of dark energy (as suggested by recent findings), then the expansion of the universe can continue forever - even if Ω > 1.

This is why I don't buy into it.  The universe DOES have a large amount of Dark energy. Gravity as a force is far too weak to pull all the mass back in, much less stop the accelerating. Remember, we are not moving forward at the same terminal velocity, we have yet to reach terminal velocity. We are still accelerating away from the big bang event horizon.

 

But, if the universe does not contain enough matter to stop its expansion it will continue to expand forever. 

Using the currently understood laws of physics it is possible to project into the future what the Universe may look like in very distant eras. Two astrophysicists at the University of Michigan have outlined the future history of the Universe. 

 

These guys have divided the future into Eras. The current Era is known as the Stelliferous or Star-Filled era. The state of the Universe is filled with stars and galaxies and planets. This era ends when all the stars have exhausted their fuel and have died leaving behind only remnants of their brilliance. 

 

The next era is known as the Degenerate era. The universe is composed of dead planets, brown dwarfs, white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, and some theoretical forms of dark matter. This era ends with the disintegration of all protons, which compose the nuclei of all atoms. 

 

Then the universe enters the Black Hole era. Black holes will be the only gravitationally important objects remaining in the universe. Black holes do not last forever. They will eventually evaporate, radiating away into nothingness. 

 

After that all that will remain is radiation and particles which have an infinite lifetime such as electrons, positrons, and neutrinos. From this point on it is impossible to fathom what will happen as we have reached the limits of our knowledge. 

 

In other words, they propose a scenario called an "Open" universe.

 

If Ω<1,>

 

But even in the absence of dark energy, a negatively curved universe expands forever, with gravity having little effect in slowing the rate of expansion. With dark energy, the expansion not only continues but accelerates, which seems to be our current condition after some 13.6 billion years of existence. The ultimate fate of an open universe as proposed is either universal heat death, the "Big Freeze", or the "Big Rip," in which the dark energy inspired acceleration eventually becomes so strong that it completely overwhelms the effects of the gravitational, electromagnetic and weak binding forces. I have issues with this scenario as well.

 

On the other hand, a negative cosmological constant, which would correspond to a negative energy density and positive pressure, would cause even an open universe to recollapse to a big crunch. This has been ruled out by recent observations. But there are aspects of all of this that remain problematic.

 

Another theory is the Flat universe.

 

If the average density of the universe equals the critical density so that Ω=1, then the geometry of the universe is flat: as in Euclidean geometry, the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees and parallel lines continuously maintain the same distance.

 

Absent of dark energy, a flat universe expands forever but at a continually decelerating rate, with expansion asymptotically approaching a fixed rate. With dark energy, the expansion rate of the universe initially slows down, due to the effect of gravity, but eventually increases. The ultimate fate of the universe is the same as an open universe. I don't buy into this either, as current observations cast doubt on this.

 

So what is the nature of the END of the universe?

 

There are actually many theories about the end of universe, and that fate will be determined by the density of the universe. The preponderance of evidence to date, based on measurements of the rate of expansion and the mass density, favors a universe that will continue to expand indefinitely, resulting in the "big freeze" scenario.

 

The Big Freeze or Heat death

The Big Freeze is a scenario under which continued expansion results in a universe that asymptotically approaches absolute zero temperature. It could, in the absence of dark energy, occur only under a flat or hyperbolic geometry. With a positive cosmological constant, it could also occur in a closed universe. This scenario is currently the most commonly accepted theory within the scientific community. A related scenario is Heat death, which states that the universe goes to a state of maximum entropy in which everything is evenly distributed, and there are no gradients - which are needed to sustain information processing, one form of which is life. The Heat Death scenario is compatible with any of the three spatial models, but requires that the universe reach an eventual temperature minimum. While this is getting a lot of juice now among astrophysicists, I have issues with it as well.

 

The Big Rip: Finite Lifespan

In the special case of phantom dark energy, which has even more negative pressure than a simple cosmological constant, the density of dark energy increases with time, causing the rate of acceleration to increase, leading to a steady increase in the Hubble constant. As a result, all material objects in the universe, starting with galaxies and eventually (in a finite time) all forms, no matter how small, will disintegrate into unbound elementary particles and radiation, ripped apart by the phantom energy force and shooting apart from each other. The end state of the universe is a singularity, as the dark energy density and expansion rate becomes infinite. While on the surface this makes sense, it too is problematic.

 

The Big Crunch

The Big Crunch theory is a symmetric view of the ultimate fate of the universe. Just as the Big Bang started a cosmological expansion, this theory postulates that the average density of the universe is enough to stop its expansion and begin contracting. The end result is unknown; a simple extrapolation would have all the matter and space-time in the universe collapse into a dimensionless singularity, but at these scales unknown quantum effects need to be considered such as Quantum Gravity. 

 

This scenario allows the Big Bang to have been immediately preceded by the Big Crunch of a preceding universe. If this occurs repeatedly, we have an oscillatory universe. The universe could then consist of an infinite sequence of finite universes, each finite universe ending with a Big Crunch that is also the Big Bang of the next universe. Theoretically, the oscillating universe could not be reconciled with the second law of thermodynamics: entropy would build up from oscillation to oscillation and cause heat death. Other measurements suggested the universe is not closed. These arguments caused cosmologists to abandon the oscillating universe model. A somewhat similar idea is embraced by the cyclic model, but this idea evades heat death, because of an expansion of the branes that dilutes entropy accumulated in the previous cycle. While I don't believe the Universe is oscillating, I believe the multiverse does. The multiverse oscilates and the universes are small subcarriers floating on the quantum wave, like the static surfboard.

 

Big Bounce

The Big Bounce is a theorized scientific model related to the beginning of the known Universe. It derives from the oscillatory universe or cyclic repetition interpretation of the Big Bang where the first cosmological event was the result of the collapse of a previous universe.

 

According to one version of the Big Bang theory of cosmology, in the beginning the universe had infinite density. Such a description seems to be at odds with everything else in physics, and especially quantum mechanics and its uncertainty principle. It is not surprising, therefore, that quantum mechanics has given rise to an alternative version of the Big Bang theory. Also, if the universe is closed, this theory would predict that once this universe collapses it will spawn another universe in an event similar to the Big Bang after a universal singularity is reached or a repulsive quantum force causes re-expansion. While this has merit, it is still incomplete.

 

The False vacuum

If the vacuum is not in its lowest energy state (a false vacuum), it could tunnel into a lower energy state. This is called the vacuum metastability event. This has the potential to fundamentally alter our universe; in more audacious scenarios even the various physical constants could have different values, severely affecting the foundations of matter, energy, and spacetime. It is also possible that all structures will be destroyed instantaneously, without any forewarning. I have issues with this as well.

 

Cosmic uncertainty

Each possibility described so far is based on a very simple form for the dark energy equation of state. But as the name is meant to imply, we know almost nothing of the real physics of the dark energy. If the theory of inflation is true, the universe went through an episode dominated by a different form of dark energy in the first moments of the big bang; but inflation ended, indicating an equation of state much more complicated than those assumed so far for present-day dark energy. It is possible that the dark energy equation of state could change again resulting in an event that would have consequences which are extremely difficult to parametrize or predict. It is also possible the universe may never have an end and continue in its present state forever.

 

Choosing among these rival scenarios is done by 'weighing' the universe, for example, measuring the relative contributions of matter, radiation, dark matter and dark energy to the critical density. More concretely, competing scenarios are evaluated against data on galaxy clustering and distant supernovae, and on the anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background.

 

So what do I believe?

 

I believe in the Multiverse. 

 

I believe that once the fuse was lit, there is no complete end. 

My multiverse hypothesis states that our universe is merely one Big Bang among an infinite number of simultaneously expanding Big Bangs that are spread out over endless distances. Each universe may be either matter or antimatter, with an equal number in existence at any given time. As the universes each expand away from their individual event horizons they collide and matter and antimatter annihilate, releasing energy. Heat death of a finite universe would be predicted as entropy increases; however, the infinite size of the multiverse and its oscillation coupled with the infinite number of universes could mean that new ones would be formed as old ones were annihilated.

 

Think of it as a chain reaction multiverse,  much like the finale at a fireworks display with each explosion being symbolic of a Big Bang. It begins in one neighborhood and is followed by fireworks displays in surrounding neighborhoods and then in neighborhoods further out. The chain reaction of Big Bangs would continue to expand as Big Bang fuel is consumed. If the multiverse is open and the fuel is infinite then the chain reaction would expand forever. Of course, it is not known what the "fuel" is, (I believe it is the Zero Point Energy Field) but it is logical to assume that matter and energy are the product of a transformation from a real reactant, possibly the Higgs boson. While I tend to think they won't discover the Higgs Boson, there will be a settlement on something called the Higgs Boson Effect if the Higgs Boson is not discovered.

 

By my reckoning, the multiverse as a whole will never end completely. But this is just a part of the equation. We have to add in the Many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. As such, each time a quantum event happens that causes the universe to decay from a false vacuum to a true vacuum state, the universe splits into several new worlds. In some of the new worlds the universe decays; in some others the universe continues as before. I believe that both of these theories are part of the same theory. One is entangled with the other creating many reactions relating to the whole. 

 

Recent work in inflationary cosmology, string theory, and quantum mechanics has moved the discussion of the ultimate fate of the universe in directions distinct from the scenarios set out by some of the other theories. Theoretical work by Eric Chaisson and David Layzer suggest that an expanding spacetime gives rise to an increasing "entropy gap", casting further doubt on the heat death hypothesis. Invoking Ilya Prigogine's work on far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics, their analysis suggests that this entropy gap may contribute to information, and hence to the formation of structure. Hence the Information Theory may be a part of the TOE, or Theory of Everything. Add to this aspects of the Holographic principle. The holographic principle is a property of quantum gravity and string theories which states that the description of a volume of space can be thought of as encoded on a boundary to the region, preferably a light-like boundary like a gravitational horizon. First proposed by Gerard 't Hooft, it was given a precise string-theory interpretation by Leonard Susskind.

 

In a larger and more speculative sense, the theory suggests that the entire universe can be seen as a two-dimensional information structure "painted" on the cosmological horizon, such that the three dimensions we observe are only an effective description at macroscopic scales and at low energies. Cosmological holography has not been made mathematically precise, partly because the cosmological horizon has a finite area and grows with time.

 

The holographic principle was inspired by black hole thermodynamics, which implies that the maximal entropy in any region scales with the radius squared, and not cubed as might be expected. In the case of a black hole, the insight was that the description of all the objects which have fallen in can be entirely contained in surface fluctuations of the event horizon. The holographic principle resolves the black hole information paradox within the framework of string theory. All of these play a part in the grand scheme of the Multiverse.

 

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Andrei Linde, Alan Guth, Ted Harrison, and Ernest Sternglass argued that inflationary cosmology strongly suggests the presence of a Multiverse, (Amen!) and that it would be practical even with today's knowledge for intelligent beings to generate and transmit de novo information into a distinct universe. Alan Guth has speculated that a civilization at the top of the Kardashev scale might create fine-tuned universes in a continuation of the evolutionary drive to exist, grow, and multiply. This has been further developed by the Selfish Biocosm Hypothesis, and by the proposal that the existence of the fundamental physical constants may be subject to a Darwinian evolution of Universes. Moreover, recent theoretical work on the unresolved quantum gravity problem and the Holographic Principle suggests that traditional physical quantities may possibly themselves be describable in terms of exchanges of information, which in turn raises questions about the applicability of older cosmological models.
