The Nature of time.

Time is an easily detectable dimension for everyone. You now that a day has passed and never coming back, you can feel that time is moving constantly forward every moment during our life. Our life is a sequence of events which always happen with time moving linear on the background.

My life as a subatomic particle is also affected by the dimension of time. But the events of my life are governed by the probabilities of wave functions. Things happened in the past, that happen now and that will take place in the future are always be the most probable at a certain time interval. For a thing that will happen, an infinite different ways of it will be around in the form of wave functions, but the one that will finally take place will be the one that because of certain conditions is going to be the most probable and that its wave function will collapse at that point. But what is the manning of time in the case of these events?

Assuming the modern idea that time is linear and not cyclical (as it was believed by the Stoic philosophers), a certain event will never be repeated at any point in the future. Hence, its probability is incite small and is independent of the other conditions which made an event highly probable to take place in the past. For example, you drinking a glass of water by following a certain set of moves at a certain time and day sometime in the future have an infinite small chance of taking place. Time is a factor of the course of our lives that is important for its uniqueness and shows the importance of every moment for this which will follow. This simply show us that the conditions that we referred in the start and their probabilities depend to the course that time follows as it moves forward. But where does it move to? Is it infinite or finite?

Infinite and time is a very dangerous combination. In physics infinities are the "outlaws", no one likes them but everyone is curious to think about them. But I won’t rule out the infinity of time, I see time as an infinite dimension by assuming that time for us started with the Big Bang and will extend for ever independent of the fate of our universe.
This may sound weird to many of my lecturers, but I prefer to believe that time represents the continuous cycle of life of everything from a single cell organism to the fate of star and the universe we live and evolve and everything that existed before and will start afterwards.

Concluding, I won’t say anything like "Carpe diem", which a lot of people like to say by quoting Robin Williams in "Dead Poets society". The nature of time was a subject that had been debated since the time o Aristotle and the Stoic's but only since Einstein and his proposal for a space-time continuum, was properly described. Space and time form a continuum and if you ignore its physical meaning, shows that everything than happens in our lives is special and will never be repeated, never have the chance to change it.
Enjoy every moment, try to seize the best you can from it and most important, never blame your fate or your luck when things go wrong. Everything that happens in your life is a consequence of a decision or of an action of your past.

"We have no direct intuition about the equality of two time intervals
People who believe they have this intuition are the dupes of an illusion"
-Henri Poincare, La mesure du Temps.

To D.

One of the things that forced me to start writing in this blog was to show that someone can speak or comment on life experiences using quantum and particle physics. Not through equations but by using the philosophical background of this areas of physics.

The only thing I don’t think anyone will ever be able to bring in analogy with any theory of physics is the term of Love which every human meets in some form during his life.
Love is the feeling that is impossible to define. I won’t agree with the definitions of love proposed in many books.
For me love can be described through mental pictures and I ll share some of mine with you:

1) Love is when you wake up in the morning with a smile on your face because you saw her/his face in one of your dreams.
2) Love is waiting the time you go to sleep just to be with her/his in your dreams.
3) Love is the smell of spring in the evening after a very tiring day.
4) Love is the sun in the first hours of the day in the summer.
5) Love is the memories of the awkward seconds when your eyes first met.
6) Love is everything that gives you the power to take the next step in your life.

We should never give up on that feeling. Even when we think that our life is a misery and nothing feels right. Love is the need to put light in our life.

Take care.

Higher dimensions of space and thinking!

Usually people ask me what I mean when I speak about higher dimensions and especially how I can believe that something like those exist when I can’t see it with my own eyes. My usual answer in this question is that "I cant see more than three dimensions of space because as a human being, I evolved with a limited dimension view of the world...which was the best suited for the natural environment I live." Like Mr. Square in E.A.Abbot's Flatland, the universe for me is what I can see through my eyes, but in analogy my thinking can be limited to what I see. Hence, my friend's, believing and trying to understand a higher dimensional universe help us to open our minds and bring our thinking to a higher level. During my long journey I had the luck to study another aspect of your history on earth...the way that thinking evolved throughout the centuries. From the ancient Greek philosopher’s to the middle ages and the later renaissance of the 19th-20th century.
The strange, but very interesting part of this evolutionary history is that it started with ideas radical for the technological and scientific age and then a big downfall started which then stopped and start to rise again in the last two centuries.
During the "downfall" of thinking a key aspect behind it, is the change of the human societies in Europe from Humanistic to Religious-based. Religion was made head of the state, because it could inspire and control more and more people. But all this required a limitation on free thinking and control to the knowledge available to people. As a result, all this had an effect to scientific thinking too. Ideas that wouldn’t follow the main ideas of the ruling religion were abandoned; new ideas had to be "politically correct" so that the scientist wont be thrown out of community as a "magician" or "devil" and suffer a painful death.
The change came with the French revolution, not only a revolution of the society but also a revolution of thought. And finally the last two centuries, thinking was freed again with the help of physics and mathematics. The world was again open to new thoughts. The search of truth beyond our reality has started once again.

Bringing back my analogy for "higher dimensions of space and higher dimensions of thinking", I'll conclude by saying that, search of higher dimensionality of space is the same with the way that thinking had tried to win its freedom from the dark ages and the limitations of the religious controlled societies.

The reason I wrote all this, is the recent incidents in the Arabic world and the Christian Europe because of the drawings showing Mohamed as a terrorist.
My opinion is that at first was wrong to publish drawings that can insult the followers of a religion or of a different philosophy from ours. On the other hand, I find wrong the vandalisms and extremist opinions expressed from both sides (Christians and Muslims).
Anyone who could bring his thinking to another, higher dimension, he/she will be forever freed from the “jail” of regression.

A great journey has just started!!

Hi!
Let me introduce my self, you can call me Quincy and I'm just another subatomic particle. I come from a really big family my father was a boson and my mother came from the royal family of the electrons, I also have a brother and a sister who their names are up and charm and as you can guess they are quarks.
Three years ago both my parents had disappeared in a very peculiar way during our summer holidays in your planet. The memory of this incident is still vivid on my mind and I’m going to tell it to you one day.
This is not the story of my life...my life is not very long, speaking relative on your time scale. This is just a journey I started three years ago in search of my parents, which finally brought me in front of a new reality.
So here I come to introduce you in the hidden aspects of your world...and hopefully unlock your "eyesight" from your evolutionary prison...to the reality of the Quantum universe!

Let me bring my introduction to an end with a quote from Edwin's A. Abbot "Flatland":

"Yet I exist in the hope that these memoirs, in some manner, I know not how, may find their way to the minds of humanity in Some Dimensions, and may stir up a race of rebels who shall refuse to be confined to limited Dimensionality."

Take care my friend's...the Journey has just started!
