How do you define consciousness?

leave a comment »

What does it mean exactly, to be conscious? Understandably, the fact that I am able to think and type out my thoughts right now is a form of consciousness, but it is impossible to imagine another person’s consciousness. I’m looking deeper.

The “definition” of consciousness could be considered the amount of time between your waking life and sleeping life.

Is consciousness just a quantum state from a higher dimension transcended into our 3rd and 4th dimensional self?

If that is the case then what would consciousness be like in a higher dimension? Certainly much different as currently we can only speculate.

If our perception of everything is based in the 3rd Dimension within a 4th Dimensional construct, then to have a reality based in the 4th Dimension within a 5th Dimensional construct might look like this…

The reality for a 4th or 5th Dimensional conscious being might be memory and/or choice based, similar to, The Matrix movies.

Their reality could be altered by thought and bias, which is a slippery slope. How do you govern beings that can change anything and time with a thought, that can travel through time and space with thought. (that is more of an ethical question…)

How will our inner conscious self flow into the next dimension?

What will it be like to perceive in 4 Dimensions or 5, 6, 7, etc…?

Trying to perceive a higher dimension is like trying to imagine a really beautiful woman naked. You have a preconceived concept of what a woman looks naked based upon memory and interpretation of that memory, but you cannot know her body to the exact fine detail.

In my opinion the 4th Dimension is similar to the process of a computer retrieving data from a microchip, only add emotion, physicality, spirituality and humanity.

Here is a great thought…

If we were to live in the 4th or higher dimensions…do we lose individuality? Do we cease to be human? Do we become a collective?

This is part 2 of the “mentally digestible” concepts of multi-dimensions. Watch it all. If your head isn’t spinning at the end…you weren’t paying attention at all.

OMFG! Open your mind and travel to the 10 Dimensions. It will blow your mind. Very well done video making the concepts of higher dimensions “mentally digestible” to normal folk.

Is there a direct correlation between gravitational lensing, absolute zero Kelvin, atoms in a quantized condensate and time travel?

leave a comment »

Sounds like a mouthful doesn’t it? That’s because it is.

I’ve come to a bizarre, yet intriguingly possible theory of how gravitational lensing (dark matter’s gravitional pull over large swaths of empty space bends light and alters time / space in the process.), the theoretical absolute zero Kelvin, particles of atoms in a highly quantized state can be the contributing factors towards real time and space travel.

The predominant bias we all think of when we hear time / space travel are spaceships traveling across the universe beyond the speed of light or using a wormhole in the fabric of space to reach a far off planet or star system. No?

These concepts are part truth and mostly science fiction. One truth is that time is relative, but it depends on where you are standing…meaning…if we look at distant, distant stars we are seeing the light that they emitted millions if not billions of years ago. Now if we look at that same light but let’s say there were a bunch of solar systems standing between that one bright star and us. The light would take longer to get to us because of the gravitational pull of dark matter in the universe. So for the same amount of light to reach us one would longer to get to us, thus warping time and slowing it down. The opposite could occur as well, in theory. If there are let say to seperate gravations swirling about and in between the mighty gravities there could be a channel of space where a highly concentrated corridor of light gets shoved out faster and faster than normal speed…thus speeding up time.

So where does absolute zero + quantized particles in a condensate form come into play with time travel? Great question.

To achieve a quantized state to any particle, the state of that matter must slow down to a point where there is no energy lost, nor gained…absolute zero. To do this, the temperature gets so cold that even highly active atoms slow down and begin to act strange. [think the matrix when the film goes sideways and Keanu Reeves is dogging a bullet.] (some particles achieve a quantized state at slightly warmer temperatures than others, but who’s counting…this is all theory anyway.)

The theory was put forth by Satyendra Nath Bose (1894-1974) + Albert Einstein (1879-1955) in 1924-1925. Wikipedia: Bose/Einstein Condensate

Another way of thinking of this is, imagine how an old film reel flows while a movie is playing. Now imagine that film slowed down to a complete stand still and the film reel begins to move sideways.

That is SORT of what happens to quantized atoms and it’s particles on a subatomic level. So much so that when light enters quantized atoms and particles it slows down to just about the speed of a moving bicycle. From the fastest form of energy to something relative to a human scale is beyond extraordinary…it’s bizarro.

At this level atoms and sub-atomic particles act peculiar to say the least. Instead of the atom acting like 1 individual atom, it has an identity crisis of some sorts and literally changes shape and acts like a wavelength. Are you bizarro’d out yet? Good. So was I. The atom no longer sees itself as just 1 atom, but every particle and sub-atomic particle begin acting like the entire atom itself.

Maybe I am not describing it correctly, as my knowledge is FAR inferior to professional quantum physicists, but it’s so bizarre that you will shake your head a whole bunch of times. lol

Now taking the complete fundamentals of gravitational lensing, which I hypothesize is actually caused by quantized microscopic particles close to absolute zero temperature, across the emptiness and void of space quantized atoms and sub-atomic particles, and the theoretical absolute zero Kelvin model…mix them altogether you have what I call “The Opportune Moment”.

If the moment were right and if there were a way to control the potential of these quantized atoms and sub-atomic particles to react with light, we could slow down time or speed it up depending on the quantized atoms.

I know it sounds crazy and it is, but if gravitational lensing can either speed up or slow down light, then time travel can be possible.

The next logical question would be HOW. How can anything survive time travel in this sense after being quantized to absolute zero? Then there is the question of where will you wind up at? How will you get back? How would you go from absolute zero to normal and not destroy the integrity of matter itself?

Hey it’s a theory right?

I don’t have a Bachelors, Masters or even a Ph.D. in Astronomy or Cosmology (yet), but I sure as hell think a whole lot about this stuff as if I do.

I’m going to do some research on this, but I wouldn’t doubt that something in my theory has to be right.

Who knows, maybe all we need to travel in time is freeze something to or as close to absolute zero as possible and then program the quantized atoms, using a quantized computer that communicates with the atoms using logic and probability.

One thing is for sure…

When we die, we’ll either all figure it out or nothing.

It is highly probable that anything is possible.

What do you think? Am I full of shit? Or do you think I am on to something?

Noodles Nugget of Minutia of the Day: July 20th, 2009

with 4 comments

Rise n’ Shine! It’s Monday July 20th, 2009. Noodles’ Nugget of Minutia of the Day is: Having a Mid-Life Crisis at 32 is completely unsettling and yet at the same time, a truly eye opening epiphany.

I’m just glad I am not going to be one of those 55 year old bald guys with the long pony-tails that drive a new red Corvette, divorce my wife for a stripper, only to lose everything all at once and come to realization that material stuff and surface aesthetics doesn’t mean a fiddler’s fart in the grand scheme of things.

Life means more than things and stuff.

Life means more than empty love.

Life means more than just about everything.

Wake up and live.

Noodles Nugget of Minutia of the Day: July 15th, 2009

leave a comment »

Rise n’ Shine! It’s Wednesday July 15th, 2009. Noodles’ Nugget of Minutia of the Day is: What is the purpose of paper towels? Are paper towels for lazy people that cannot keep a small or medium sized cloth or towel nearby? We all use paper towels from time to time, but do we really need to? I can understand using them for picking up smelly or really gross stuff that you really shouldn’t be touching with your hands, but for spills and small messes? Come on…

The paper towel industry loves lazy people. They love to promote how much a new and improved paper towel will pick up. Plus you can now rinse and reuse them. Ummmmmm…excuse me for sounding cynical, but doesn’t that constitute a regular towel?

So let me get this straight…

Paper towel companies are advertising reusable disposable paper towels that are sort of like towels but not really.

Sad isn’t it? It really is a reflection of our society and culture. We are a culture of wasteful throw away people. We use it once…we throw it away.

From this day forward, I will try my hardest to not use paper towels unless it is the ONLY thing around to use.

(Do not get this confused with toilet paper. Totally different, pardon the pun, ball game. lol You really can’t use toilet paper more than once. And if you do…you’re an effing weirdo. lol)

But on to the minutia…

Paper towels, paper, or any flat surface for that matter can not be folded more than 7 times. Good luck getting to fold number 8. It’s impossible, unless you had a press machine or something.

The reason for this is that every time you fold, the number of layers doubles. So 1 sheet of paper becomes 2, then 4, then 8 and so on. Before you know it that little vein in your forehead is popping out trying to fold a piece of paper.

Art is Art and everything else is everything else or so they say…

with 3 comments

So it’s safe to say that I like to think quite a bit about a lot of things.

Art is one of my passions.

I love looking at art as well as making interesting works.

Art is such a uniquely human attribute.
Art is one of those aspects of existence, that truly separates us from other living creatures.
Art is that thing that defines our perception of everything and places that aesthetic within the confines of reality and helps us makes sense of “life”.

Basically, to quote Ad Reinhardt,

Art is Art and everything else is everything else.

I actually would go one step beyond that and say, Art is everything.

In a technical sense every thought and thing whether tangible or intangible is art. Question is…is it good Art or bad Art?

That is what makes; a good artist good and a bad artist bad.

If we are able to breakdown the concept of good and bad to preference…we are able to delineate what is good or bad by analyzing the analyzer (or viewer).

By looking at the analyzer instead of the finite object or thought, we get a broader context of where the analyzer is coming from and thus gaining perspective as to the true meaning of good and bad.

Wow, that was a lot of psychological blah, blah, blah…when can we see some Art?

heh…

This is a piece from one of my favorite artists: Felix Gonzalez-Torres

(Viewers are invited to take a peice of candy from the pile, which represented the artist's own white blood cell or T -cell count. The artist died in 1996 from complications of AIDS.

Viewers are invited to take a peice of candy from the pile, which represents the artist’s own dwindling white blood cell or T-cell count. As the pile dwindles to oblivion…so does Felix. His fixation on the impermanence of time and how love transcends time and space via Art. The artist died in 1996 from complications of AIDS.

Incredible work. Thank you Felix for making our lives richer and filled with delicious candies and love. Your work is a testament to all human kind.
