6. Our reality
Here I will show that time and space as we know them mean
nothing to the universe.(6.a)
Let's start with time, the duration, the static measure.
We stop time on paper, in equation, on stop watches, in
a millions of ways; yet, the reality is that NOBODY ever
stopped time. This time never stops, not for any measures,
for nobody(6.b). But the flow of time is very real and measurable.
The concept of time as a lenght has no meaning to the universe,
and has only meaning for us(6.a).
Now, space as a lenght. The fastest speed in the universe is
said to be that of light. This means that we can't connect
simultaneously two distinct points in space, even by a simple
line. What do we do when we measure the distance between two
points ? We do just that. We just assume simultaneity because
of our position as "observers"(6.c). But if we were to be actors,
like everything else in the universe, and take the place of one
of the two points, we would see and understand right away that
the other point is in fact away in time(6.d)! The concept of distance
has no meaning to the universe, only to us, the conscious observers.
Distance is typically a concept of observer, a third party.
How do we think, see and calculate with the static measures
of time and space ? Our brain does the integration to convert
this dynamic universe into a metric reality(6.e) which is easy
in macroscopic terms, but in the quantum world, we need equations
to do it for us.
Newton's mathematics of integration have humanized
mathematics and comprehension by making accomplices the notions
of time and space with the notions of time flow and motion, a link
between our perception and concepts of a real dynamic universe.(6.f)
This has led to the actual mathematical impass of the observer;
a link he doesn't know about, exist throughout all his scientific
knowledge, between his reality and the real universe he tries to
understand(6.g).
This shows that the real universe has no place for the
observer and his perception of static dimensions; and, this is
our reality(6.h) ! Most of what we know is about our experience of
the universe, not about the universe itself(6.i). The real complexity
is in our experience of the universe, as the universe itself is very
simple. In other words, modern physics, our experience of the universe,
may fit in a 500 pages book, but the real universe may take only 20
pages to describe(6.j)!
The realisation of this, is the real conclusion of the theory of
relativity; the theory of relativity only described the limits
of our reality. "Relative" is just another word for "subjective"(6.k).
This conclusion has for consequence a limit on our knowledge as well.
Most of what we measure is not the universe. Most of what we expect
has to have measures(6.l). All the laws of physics are description
of "how" things happen, short of saying "why" they do happen(6.m).
This is because of the metric approach of science that can only ask "how"
and never "why", because any "why" answer would not be open to metric
refutation, and time speed is such a dimensionless, much
overlooked concept.(6.n) Any "why" found by intuition in the real
universe runs the risk, once translated back into our reality's
terms, of reverting back to another "how"(6.o). Intuition is in
this respect, the way around the Copenhagen interpretation(6.p).
Our reality is still, altough very complex, only a partial
vision of the universe, or a special interpretation of it.
We have to conclude that our reality is a subset of this real
universe(6.q). This place a very precise causal relationship
between what we experience, and what is happening in the real
universe; the cause "Why" is in the real universe and the result
"how" is our experience in our reality(6.r). A primitive
transformation that can help understand our dimensions in the
real dynamic universe is to divide by TIME, to give them
a dynamic properpty e.g. E/S energy/second = power(6.s).
