And think about this: according to Big Bang/Expanding Universe the star of origin of the photon that lands on my retina got “permission” to leave billions of years ago when they were actually in much closer approximation. So how did that photon somehow “know” where the atom in my retina would be when it finally finished the journey. It is almost like the analogy of “Breaking” the racked balls in billiards. At the origin of “The Big Bang” every subsequent interaction between atoms was already known and programmed when they were all in actual direct contact.
I can’t say that my Faith doesn’t cloud my judgement with bias. But the more I ponder it sure does seem like “I knew you before you were born...” rings true. Which is still unsettling because if a photon leaving a star billions of years ago knew where my retina wold be billions of years later it sort of destroys my concept of free will. I guess the answer would be “all that photon knew was it had an ‘address’ of another atom that was it’s destination” and it is just randomness that atom ended up incorporated into my retina. This is all starting to give me a headache.
Ponder your comments for just a moment. I think the actual energy transferred is considered to be carried in the photon itself. Otherwise the photon would be more like a wire that was in contact at both ends.
Tell that to those who fought against British rule.
I think i have it. Go back to our space station trying to radiate heat. Cosmologists tell us that the space available to the Universe may be infinite but the Universe itself is not. How do we know? If there were an infinite number of stars the night time sky would be a fairly uniform “glow” and it obviously is not. So if there was an infinite amount of mass out there to dump heat to our space station would have no problem. It could boil off heat in all directions instantaneously. It would be interesting to have a freeper come along here who actually new what he was talking about and comment. Actually now that i think about it I may have figured it out. The problem our space station has is not that the IR photons it needs to radiate need to have “permission” to leave but rather it is limited in the available targets because space is mostly empty and the Universe is not infinite. Sorry. This entire thing was just my silly mind fooling itself into thinking there was something here and there really is not. Never mind.
Yes.
Consciousness works the same as the electron orbitals around the nucleus, Just as Neils Bohr described the photon or light is given off when the electron moves inward.
The higher level of consciousness is always seen as Light when viewed from a lower level.
Thanks LibWhacker.
I quote myself from long ago: “The Scientific Method requires objectivity, but does not provide it.”
Good post. I agree. Philosopyical materialism is a self-limiting problem. Everything else is thus either defined solely in material terms or ignored entirely.
You might find a bit of reading on the zero point field useful. This field is building up energy, the latent energy of expansion, for the entire Universe is expanding. Think of a rubber band being stretched, for an analogy.
The photon from that distant star has something in common with the atom which it impacts ... they are both in a present temporal state. Photons cross the Universe (near or far) always in the present of their emission. There are four known variable expressions of dimension Time: moment, past, present, and future ... as far as we know so far. There are four known variable expressions of dimension space, as far as we know so far: point, linear, planar, and volume. The photon is a moment of time and a point of space, encoding energy. It crosses the Universe in linear space always in the present of its creation.
