What
are Black Holes?
Hi Mead! My personal idea about black holes was formulated in my
journal, when I wrote about time lines. Filling flesh onto those
musings, I suggest that black holes are light travelling in an opposing
direction from us. Given the vast distances in the universe, imagine
shining a torch into it and seeing light streaming from it. If you
switch off the torch, the light previously emited will continue to
travel. Once it progresses beyond the distance of the speed of light it
will no longer be visible to the torch bearer. But the particles of
light will continue their journey. Such an event would make it appear
as though light is being swallowed and can't escape. A black hole could
represent the light from a sun or a galaxy that is moving in an
opposing direction from us. It could be our sun or galaxy.
Unless this retreating light encounters something that could reflect it
back or refract it, the light will continue to appear to us as a dense
mass of powerful blackness.
The possibility that emerges from this is that black holes could tell
us where we are going and where we have been, in context to the
universe as a whole.
As for hell? The word comes from the German and it means light. Hell is
spoken of as a fiery domain. It seems the most tormenting and
destructive position for a soul to be is within the fusing and turmoil
of a sun. It could be purgatory or annihilation - or a cleansing
process in line with higher ascension.
Could black holes be the tunnel described by so many as a route to
Heaven?
Can
Souls whizz around
the Universe?
Hi Mead! It seems we could be light whizzing about. Except that a soul
bound by the speed of light attempting to travel the universe would
seem equivalent to a man walking around the world. How long would it
take for a man (assuming he can walk on water) to walk the surface of
the Earth in its entirety?
If Earth is the 'North Pole' in the universe, a man could begin there
and take an ever widening orbit around the 'Pole'. He takes one step
out from the 'Pole' and then walks around it. Then he takes another
step away from the 'Pole' and walks around the 'Pole' once more.
Eventually, each step out would lead him to the equator, with each
circumnavigation becoming longer. From the equator he will take the
step out that will mean he is circling the South Pole - and each
circumnavigation becomes slightly less.
Will it take him a thousand years to do this? Or a hundred thousand? Or
a million?
Given this analogy, it would appear that a man (soul) will consider
anything beyond a seven mile radius (c. 2 hours walk) as long distance
travelling. Many people live (or lived) and die (or died) without ever
walking beyond that seven mile radius.
In Ireland, there is a pub (tavern) called the 'Deadman's. It is named
thus because it is the only pub within a seven mile radius (approx).
Yet the stagecoach (supported by stabling and inns at six mile
intervals in England), then the train, then the car and bike (supported
by Tarmacadam roads), then the airplane, then jet propulsion, then the
space rocket etc...
Suddenly seven miles becomes of no moment to many people today.
In essence, I am saying that if death releases a soul from organic
restriction then it may well release it from universal law restrictions
(as we perceive them in our mortal form). Of course, it may not do this
at all if we are particles of light (as souls). If so, we will be bound
by that seven mile radius (in analogy).
For God to be omnipotent, it would indicate an ability akin to 'rocket
science' in comparison to a man restricted to walking everywhere. It
could be argued that souls whizzing at the speed of light fits this
analogy fine.
But can you see the limitations for souls (and God) within that
argument?
As for Hell (or the devil - or evil), my journal claims that there is
only one emotion that is elemental. That is Love. All other emotions
are by-products of this elemental force. A perfect one liner summary of
this was discovered post journal by me when one of my old friends (Stef
Kamil Carlens) quoted a Tom Waits comment when being interviewed by a
magazine:
THERE IS NO DEVIL. THERE IS ONLY GOD - AND GOD WHEN HE IS DRUNK
Put this analogy onto souls - and then apply the catalyst of fear - and
a rational explanation for all our actions on this planet materialises.
A sense of betrayal (of love) or the fear that this will happen creates
all the by-products like Hate, Envy, Resentment, etc...
But if we apply God to the universal sequence I presented to you we
come to a defineable reason why God will always be more powerful than
negative forces that have sprung up as a re-action to his work. God
initiated the plan and the forces of Hell can only re-act to it - and
owe their initial existence to the creativity of God.
The art community is a perfect mirror to this. The journal amplifies
the mechanics. The creative force will take the critic and the
non-creative technicians by surprise. Higher creative talents and
technicians will appreciate the input of a creative force, but the
lower beings will sink to envy and malicious put downs to inhibit and
stem this force. A creative force seeking a higher path will trigger a
countering that will resort to baseness to negate it.
So there will be times when God may seem defeated and hounded out of
the scheme of things. But his creativity is limitless and able to see
things his foes can not. When he seems most defeated and discredited?
He will re-emerge stronger.
In summary, someone might write a song and refuse to let others hear it
because they fear their song (or its idea) will be stolen. So no one
ever hears that song - and the person dies and the song has died with
it. A confident creative force will not worry if a song has been stolen
in some way, because he has a mass of other songs both written and
about to be written (at some future date).
On the other hand, a person who produces a song and then spends the
next five years trying to market it is not confident about his
creativity. He is confident only about that song.
Analogy? Souls on Earth are busy trying to market a song. God is busy
creating the universe and producing song after song. It's the one hit
wonder on one side - and Bob Dylan on the other.
Does
Space and Time exist?
Brian,
I have been reading a book entitled Time and Space by Barry
Dainton and
want to pass on the following information to you. As we know space and
time are both invisible so this naturally leads us to the question of ,
"Do they exist?".
There are currently two prevailing philosophical theories in
regard to the
above question. The first is known as Substantivalism and can best be
summed up as:
UNIVERSE* = Things + Space/Time
* original read SPACE which didn't communicate.
The second prevailing theory is known as Relationism and is
summed up as:
UNIVERSE= Things + Spatiotemporal Relations
Relationism contends that space/time do not exist as
individual
objects (i.e. If there were no objects; subatomicparticles->
galaxies,
there would be no space and hence no time.)
I basically agree with the latter theory. However,
Einstein's special
theory of relativity contends that gravity is the result of bodies
warping
the spacetime continuum. If space/time do not exist as individual
objects, what is being warped?
Hi Mead! I differ from the prevailing view that time is
invisible (as earlier mails stated). As my idea is that time is
temperature - and that both terms have no definition outside of each
other - it follows (in my view) that space would be equivalent to ice
taken to its ultimate extreme (where nothing moves).
An analogy to this would be a stagnant pool of water (space), into
which is thrown a number of stones (time/temperature). Eventually, the
water will close in and revert to stagnant once more. But it will take
a while.
How low in density must Space (its inert permabound material) be to
allow light and heat to sweep it aside and still be able to do this
billions of years after this universes's creation?
Yet still Space seems to offer some resistence (like the water in the
pool), because the speed of light is restricted to a constant. It
suggests that Space (and its inert material) is equally constant, if
this were true. The energy of time/temperature may well collect
material from Space - and it could be that the diamond may hold the
clue to this, alongside graphite. A diamond has unique properties, but
in time will convert to graphite under the conditions of exposure to
the outer atmosphere of this planet. This slow conversion may, in
itself, be a further clue to the properties of Space and its resistance
(or alienation) from the impulsion of time/temperature.
The question I ask is whether the permabound ice that is Space, and its
resultant material, is conductive or non-conductive. If it is the
former, it will help time/temperature move faster. If it is
non-conductive, it will resist time/temperature movements - and will
need to be swept aside.
The paradox is that light can shear through Space and keep a straight
line (it would seem), while man will float. A minute particle separated
from a stone previously hurled into that stagnant pool would also
float, while the new stone would scythe through to the pool's bottom.
Brian,
Light may be the key to the universe. Just what is light? I
have read the
scientific definitions but they don't seem to get to the heart of the
matter. Einstein, himself, was puzzled by the fact that light exhibits
both particle and wave characteristics.
If you are interested there is a marvelous book entitled THE
FIRE WITHIN
THE EYE: A HISTORICAL ESSAY ON THE NATURE AND MEANING OF LIGHT by David
Park, Emiritus Professor of physics at Williams College.
"God is light and in him is no darkness at all, " The Bible.
This may well
be more than just a metaphorical statement. These words may be fact.
Hi Mead! My idea is that light is puzzling to define because
people tend to look for a generalistic substance, in the same way that
'mental illness' and 'busker' may be puzzled over. With regard to my
ideas on temperature being the same force as time, it offers less
mystery to me.
The material of Earth that is bound up and organised into a structure
conducive to our eco-system (including us) is only doing so because the
speed of time tends to be limited to a range of about 100 degrees C
planetwide (say - 50 C to 50C). Local events and conditions may exceed
this, but the mean average remains planetwide. I recently went on a
tour around a cave in the dales nearby - and the almost constant
temperature of those caves was 8 C. Nothing organic grew in them, but
the insertion of lamps (for the visitors) has eventually caused algae
to grow in places.
When light from the sun reaches our planet it is processed and
filtered, but I believe there are forms of light that can pass through
not only us - but the planet itself. If we view the short wavelength
light filtered out by the ozone layer, the blue (short wavelength)
light that is dispersed more easily by our atmosphere to create the
illusion of blue skies, the green portion of the spectrum which seems
to hold the key to plant life, the longer wavelength of the red (seen
at sunset when the view of light's descent through the atmosphere is
seen via a longer path), and the knowledge that our retinas are evolved
to generally exclude violet and indigo to avoid perilously confusing
images - it seems, already, that it is evident that light is not one
thing, but a combo of many things able to be extracted from the main
body.
Any form of light that is able to pass through solid rock is seemingly
incapable of nurturing life on this planet, while light filtered out by
the atmosphere would destroy all known life, were it to rampage through
unfiltered.
Temperature/time can be adjusted by pressure (ie: melting point is
affected). So the sun is possibly time moving at its greatest speed.
But all the matter, particles and energy that make up light are the
same (minus the filtering) that make up Earth. The physical and
chemical properties that make up light are adapted to that level of
time speed. Once they enter this planet's atmosphere they will enter
our radically slower time speed - and will be slowed down or stopped by
matter on this planet.
To a light 'being', it will appear as though its compatriots have been
frozen (or destroyed). But this planet will integrate the light into
its indigenous environment.
In my mind, I thought I could explain my view on 'what is light?' very
quickly, but what is easy to explain to myself is hard to explain to
another. It is often the way with inner understandings.
Light is us and our environs as we would be if we were moving at that
time speed. In other words (in all probability), we were once light....
and we will be light once again.
In my eyes, the world has four constant time zones: lava, oxygen,
water, ice
