Undefined vs infinite, vs finite, universal from particular or particular to universal, subject with his own property, relational subject, making of the subject vs particular,self standing subject, matter separated from spacetime (Newton), both together , no spacetime, definitely no time, world emerging from the subject (Kant) subject emerging from the world (Whitehead), independent subject (Aristoteles, particle physics), Descartes subjectivism ( I see it as gray-the stone) vs objectivism, indeterminism vs determinism
Or they are aporia? Anyway , the aporia, in logical pursuit, if they are consistent , lead to Antinomy. This is the story of the Big Bang and of the Black Hole.
Descartes was claiming that Universe and a lot of Events are Undefined.
Newton strongly opposed this view from his theological ground, as the God or the God work can not be undefined since it is not possible that God does no know what he is doing. So Newton definitely , once again after the Greek philosophers introduces infinity.
The merry go round of history trash of Antinomies is brought , in a spiral ,on a new level.
Newton introduction of Infinity in calculus, math and physics, has brought math and physics on a new level, unthinkable before. The theological reasons, by heterogenesis – heterogony of ends, ”the phenomenon of how goal-directed activity often cause experiences that modify the original motivational pattern”(Wilhelm Wundt), made science and math what they are today.
Only after passing through infinity notion mathematics the Godel undecidability gets, haha, closer to Indefinite Cartesian view.There is nothing between indefinite and undecidable worth mentioning..
Leibnitz, the inventor of monads,and a developer of monist Cartesianism, made of the infinity calculus a real thing. And he took it from Democritus Atom- the indivisible, to the new level which is God. But monads are not material, they are a kind of mental indivisible events which makes us perceive the matter as substance. And they are in a hierarchy , where God, the simplest monad, is on top. Theology and mathematics.
Well, a beginning of the Quantum theory (Superposition, entanglement, non locality) might be there and the quantum field, too…
The infinity brought us to the Black Hole. The obvious result of Einstein relativity brought the Black Hole and the singularity as the final result..
And the best of all, Richard Penrose, got a Nobel prize for that.
But there is the famous Antinomy but. The Big Bang started with the suppressed laws of physics, ( See R. Penrose; fashion faith and fantasy in physics) , including the suppression of the 2nd law of thermodynamics for an infinitesimal moment (?).
We have now the antinomy on both sides, in the Big bang and in the Black Hole.In between, there is the standard physics model.
As Paul Feyerabend said, if it works, it works,but do not get grand ideas about it, as the reality.
The Descartes indefinity- undefined end of this equation, brought us to the Quantum mechanics as a probability, the famous wave function.
Lets see some more antinomies.
The Quantum loop gravity theory took away infinity and brought the finite, and they have not noticed it is not Anaximander, at the end it is Parmenides which stated that what is is and what is not is not.
And so, in the Quantum loop gravity the infinity was taken as antinomy and instead there was Planck. At the end- as in The Black Hole, the space is not infinitely divisible, it can not be divided to infinity, and so there can not be the singularity ,there is a finite number and it is the Planck length.No matter is infinitely divisible, the Planck constant , the Planck length is the limit, the Rock solid limit. This sounds excellent and looks rock solid. But.
The spacetime is the antinomy par excellence. Nobody can prove it does not exists outside the Observer-the Human, and the same nobody can prove it exists without the Observer, The reversibility in physics is the way how physics tries to prove the absence of spacetime. But then, the PROCESS as a property is lost, since a process is not just an endless loop, there is also the decay- radiation which denies it as a loop. By the way, to construct exactly the same matter from its radiation decay, the reversibility of a process…? hmmm. Do it if you can. Same goes for the famous spill of the cup of coffee on the carpet and its reverse to going back to a cup, the entropy contradiction, the problem of the 2 nd law at the start of the Big Bang… = 20 pages in the Roger Penrose book (faith, fashion, fantasy) to try to mathematically prove it..,, well WD is too dumb to understand it, after his many posts on entropy…
So, a quantum mass which is and makes the spacetime, can not have a spacetime as , what, a property?? Ok, WD can accept that, but, The Arrow of Time which indicates a process? Where do you put that and if not, how can you make a quantum computer which gives the result>? result is the Time Arrow of a process as WD thinks, or, if not , what is it?
To assume that non locality is the enough proof of no spacetime is bollocks.The distance between Alice and Bob might be not measurable, but the process is there and whatever is”between” is the fact that they communicate. Communicate involves separation, separation is, what? Whatever one calls the difference between two events?
That is the antinomy and to pretend that there in between is only the probability of something is sophism.
Carlo Rovelli states in his book “reality is not what is seems” , btw the title tells nothing, page 221, that Time is not a fundamental constituent of the world, but it appears because the world is immense….
Well, if time is not a fundamental constituent, then nothing is a fundamental constituent. If we search for a fundamental brick or mover, we end with God, but it is a concept which is a famous not known builder and … we are back here.
So the immense is equally non fundamental , since there is time in a human sense involved to go from a to b….through this immensity, which is finite as the Planck length. btw this is a joke.
The relational physics forgets that the arising phenomena are Conditioned then to be relational. The conditioned origination.. They are not fundamental per se, they are conditioned to be in relation through relation to be conditioned..
The apory or aporia is in the sentence; immense, like space, but without time as a inherent property…. to subsume from quantum non locality or the instantaneous action at distance that time is non essential property is ok regardless of the speed of light apory or antinomy involved,which is there as an antinomy regarding the action at distance and Witchdoctor has given a mirror solution property of the events involved, see post, but to take this action out of operator environment, which means the quantum computing is happening outside time….
By the way, The opposite of electron, the positron, is then,WD opinion, in the reverse physics view, a travel back in spacetime. The final reverse. Like when you see yourself coming from the sharp spacetime bend and logically it is the same you but reverted we have the opposite sign.But strangely, or not, positron survives only in vacuum, Hmm, WD is excited about it….
Some say that spacetime, and they seem right, can not be divided ad infinitum. Infinite versus finite antinomy. There is a limit and in this universe this is the Planck Length.
But since the QLG- quantum loop gravity is relational, there is another antinomy of the finite, which becomes the rock solid Planck length. What relation is there in The Black Hole, which is relational and produces the Planck length?
OK, it is finite, but between what? Planck length can not “survive” without a relation between “events”. This might work only in the rotating Black Hole, not in the Sink Black Hole.
The other side remark is, yes, events are relational and so things arise. But this relation is a conditioned relation, the Planck constant proves it. Conditioned by what? Here De Broglie and especially Bohm step in with the implicit order….. which is another story and how Copenhagen quantum orthodoxy does not likes it, even if it works fine.
We are back into the Antinomy.
Of more Antinomies…
Like, the QLG sounds fantastic and fine when it claims that spacetime is not a separate event from the quantum phenomena, the QLG produces spacetime while happening. Next question is, if that is so, why call anything a quantum field? There is no field, field in this production of spacetime are the events which can be only a math slice of a certain area of spacetime and thus the field is only a calculus tool and Not a property of the QLG.
The QLG problem is in the expansion of the Universe. What inherent property of QLG makes the Universe to expand? The famous Einstein constant of expansion ( if it is a constant) is a third party tool outside of the QLG and using third party tools to prop a theory is not so good.
Unbelievable as it may seem, logically, the Planck Length has a connection with the Inflation theory of the Universe, in WD opinion.
You know, this metaphysics of physical theory embedded antinomies is a fantastic Witchdoctor pastime.
It may be the famous Inflaton event, the glitch which made the Inflation theory of the Big Bang and we see it as a Planck constant which conditions the events?
We see that, on different levels through the History, the same dilemmas, contradictions and definitely antinomies occur.
Last but not least is the famous string theory of multiverses, or multiple universes, Unfortunately, this is a false antinomy. The proof lies in this statement: AS FOLLOWS FROM THE STRING THEORY there is, there exists a Universe where President Donald Trump is the best president in the Universe.
Well, this definitely puts a tombstone on the string theory. It is unbearable. And proven false.
Or, there is the Universe where Joe Biden is the real change, another fake, and the best of all, there is the Universe where Trump and Biden rule together and this is the best Universe.
Folks, lets hitchhike somewhere else.
The possible novelty is the information theory, but the problem for WD is that it is “infected” with the Copenhagen quantum consensus of too much math which from a possibility to happen turns into reality where the mathematics under it becomes reality and so we loose the quantum.
Information is about possibilities in a given state. Dice has six, a white and a black ball two, either white or black. Lets call them degrees of freedom.
( Carlo Rovelli, in the book “reality is not what it seems” , and here, if you read further, you can see it) puts The case of a box with two balls, one white and one black and the person holding a white ball which knows instantly that the other has a black ball is said to have 2 alternatives. Well, lets count, : one box, two balls, two people. A lot of phenomena involved, a box, balls, people. And each person, theoretically has also 2 alternatives ( all together, person 1 and 2 have 4), his ball is either white or black. The instant he sees it as white, he knows that other is black. But they have to know that the 2 balls are white or black in advance to make such conclusion…..
But this is no alternative, you just got your ball , one of the two and the other person had even less alternatives, he had to pick the left one. THIS is not an even, equal chance. It is not even theoretically 4, it is 2 on one side and 1 (none) on the other. But you can not call an alternative the situation when you are left with only one ball, it is not even a choice.
The problem goes on. Only if Someone else assigns the balls, the alternative is even, equally distributed, but the two people holding balls must know there were two balls, one white and one black IN Advance. So, we have now Three people, two holding balls and one which assigns them.
If this is not a case of the Bohmian implicit order, as it needs a third part to make it even- equally distributed information- 2 alternatives for both participants, which have to know in advance that the 2 balls in the box is one white and one black (hehehe), then what is it?
Because in this, they say such a simple situation, we have phenomena of very different orders. A hierarchy of them.
To make things even more funny, the alternatives are only 2, if the two people pick the balls by themselves out of the box. Both 2 choices are on the side of the first person to pick the ball.
SO, on page 211, Carlo Rovelli has opened a Pandora Box, and suddenly the Dealer of the Balls has to step in.
The Dealer of the Balls could be and can be and is even blind. So, while dealing the balls, he does not knows which , white or black,he is giving to whom. Even more, only the person who looks first at which ball he has got, took his chances. The other need not to even look at the ball, since Alice ,who first looked, determined what color of Bob ball is! So Bob is done, Alice has the information and Bob depends on Alice and must take Alice`s result.The information, to be equally distributed, needs that Alice and Bob Simultaneously look at the ball they have been dealt with.
See, that was Einstein problem , when he said that God ( The Dealer of the Balls) is not playing with dice.But, he was a determinist and his deterministic position could not take this balls.
And, guess what. The David Bohm implicit order, the dealer of the balls, has popped in. Not that Witchdoctor buys it completely, but, what can we do if we follow this lines of QM?
Dear reader, after this above, Witchdoctor is also free to speculate, big time:
THE UNIVERSE IS A BLACK HOLE
Imagine. This tale is not so nice as the above tales, even if they work and whatever works, this might too. Unfortunately there is no unknown birthplace and also the end is not clear, In Freudian terms, you are on the brink of ignorance, you even do not know your birthplace and even your death. It is terribly indetermind and that is a cause of all mind illnesses. Ok, WD included., but at least he knows how he is mad.
As we seem to know, the Dark matter and Dark energy is somewhere around 75-80%. The Visible Universe is the rest.
So, what we see is the optical illusion, or, if you prefer, the spacetime curvature distortion of the Universe as a Black Hole where Dark matter is the first detectable part where light is trapped without escape with the so called dark matter falling in and so the matter “in there” is dark, slowly slipping into the Black Hole Universe.
The rest of the Dark Hole Universe is 25% of visible, Now, this is a difficult part to describe, since the distortion is everywhere and the visible part is moving along the first brink of the event horizon. Since there is no up and down in wrap space curvature, the dark matter is on all sides. The red shift of the visible universe expansion is the sign that the visible part is relatively as an illusion expanding /accelerating into the space time distortion of the Universe Black Hole. This gives a relative result of universe expansion, but in fact is the effect of Visible spacetime sinking into the black hole, light gets trapped and dark matter starts.
The seemingly accelerating Einstein cosmological constant is a relative measure as the result of the relativity theory of the accelerating Visible Universe into the Universe Black Hole. The Visible Universe accelerated expansion is a proof of the Einstein relativity as this is the famous spacetime bending as a seeming acceleration ( the optical illusion) of the bodies on a curved space The curved spacetime gives the illusion of distance getting bigger and bigger.. The bodies indeed in this relativity illusion gain distance since the Universe Black Hole is a wrap curved space. The Dark Matter works as an illusion of a repulsive force while the Visible Universe is approaching the event horizon, since the space time is already definitely a steep curve resulting into a intrinsic energy density thought as a vacuum. .
There are also local black holes, but definitely we are traveling on the brink of the Universe Black Hole. It is all around us, but it is an optical illusion of the flat space.
There is no expansion of the Universe, it is a distortion of the spacetime of the Visible Universe falling into the Universe Black Hole.
The CMB is just a Universe Black Hole Static.
We are hoovering over the brink.
Was there a Bfig Bank?
We do not know, that is maybe after the Universe Black Hole swallowed all and erupted again, but we are always traveling on the brink of the Universe Black Hole even if this was the 2nd or umptieth time.
If it was, we do not know
How was the visible universe formed?
We do not know
We think from gasses . and gravity.
We do not know yet why and how things stick, glue, lump out of nothing.
Whaz is at the end of the Universe Black Hole?
We do not know. Maybe first comes the Planck length while going “down” and then some sort of, Singularity, Inflaton, whatever….
How the information gets lost in this voyage?
As written above, the Information is alternatives of the event. Bt this alternatives are theoretically big and practically hierarchically limited with constraints. The information is lost when the constraint of the black hole makes any communication impossible. Communication,which is the result of alternatives of information, becomes impossible and There is no information choice available anymore and information is gone. The matter can not be distinguished any more as the white or a black ball. This is definitely a quantum phenomena.
We see just a slice in spacetime. We can not extrapolate it (yet?) on a overall scale.
Hm. Yes, this We in a text is Witchdoctor in pluralis maiestatis view.
Is the dark matter vs visible a constant ratio 80% vs 20% or does it changes and on which side, which may prove at what stage is the Universe black hole?
Hm, unfortunately we can not see in our position if new matter is forming from the Universe Black Hole. This would imply a travel in future.
WD knows not if we can extrapolate this. Was there always the same ratio?
This would tell us a lot, as to how much time before the sinking into the Universe Black Hole or, how much time on the sunny side of the Universe.
Ok, that above was real fun in this time of Covid madness.. WD mind is depleted and it is time for some dark chocolate and wine. But before continuing on a fantastically bright mindblowing next real time experiment, lets see the
Introduction
In WD opinion, this real time beautiful experiment shows to anyone what is the Quantum mechanics and how a quantum spacetime events might look.
All you need is to find a nice sea bay with a grayish , even sand at the bottom, spreading for at least over a kilometer. Warning! The visibility in the sea water has to be 30- 40 meters if you look in front of you.You need your trunks, hmm, you do not need them, naked is fine.Trunks are not an essential property of the quantum.
What you really need is a mask and a snorkel, and the sea around 27 C, so you can swim for over an hour. It has to be around noon. The sea has to be calm with very low undulating waves and sometimes, for bigger fun, some gentle breeze passing on the surface.
LETS GO INTO THE QUANTUM WORLD, swimming
You are in., mask and snorkel and frog swimming, slowly, to make no wave interference, the smallest possible.
It is noon. The Sun is acting as a beam on the sea surface. The very gentle waves make the wavelength- produce the wavelength of the photons hitting the surface. The gray sand bottom is your screen or a plate where you read the results. The bright net or grid is all around, moving, stretching and deforming in the crystal clear sea slowly fading into deep blue in the distance. Slowly all you see is the shining net of irregular shaped rectangles, with nodes here and there on the corners all around you. The grid floats , moves and the bottom where you are reading this dazzling net starts do disappear as a fact. This may be a tricky moment since you loose the body orientation , no up, no down and the moving shining rectangles give the impression of a vast spacetime field. You may loose the feeling that you are slowly frog swimming and , if it gets difficult, just pull your head above the surface and take a look at the reality as it seems outside and ploff, continue…
What are you seeing is the optical illusion of the moving net in a strange spacetime in which you have no role slowly fading into the deep blue… The shining rectangles sway, stretch,give the real impression of movement,direction, combine into each other…
And then you start to note a even more shining circles, here and there, which move exactly on the lines of the rectangles of the grid. They suddenly appear and disappear. And, sometimes, they jump in no time from one grid to the other. The best is when sometimes they split in two in an instant and jump to the line of the next rectangle of the net.
Or they, the shining dots, suddenly disappear and reappear in the other rectangle….
You have to try and witness this effects from the depth of less than a meter to over two meters of depth to experience the expanding and the stretching of the net all around. And suddenly the very light breeze makes the pattern go wild, the rectangles of the net dance as wild and the bright dots jump around from the one line to other, appearing and disappearing, splitting in a frenzy rhythm.
Pick your bay. Do not do this every day, it hurts the eyes, but, that is life and quantum
Do not forget to take your hitchhikers of the universe towel with you.
Witchdoctor, slip sliding away
