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).
