Life, the Universe and Everything

Mon Dec 1, 2008, 8:59 AM
Hi, this journal is an answer to janetino which somehow became a longer text.

First, this is about these two links, which i have posted on this poll Have you ever been stuck in a fractal?:

Molecular Visualizations of DNA
&
the postal service - such great heights


my secret theory: God is a pattern recognition attractor.
In my opinion the big bang is the outcome of where we are right now. The universes shape is only determined by its ability to know itself, which in the end is the outcome of the partial derivatives (of the space-time-continuum) that shape our laws of physics which in the end allowed to hierarchically shape atoms, stars and planets, and finally earths ecosphere. The big irony of the big bang is that it is a derivation from the zero-point and everything is relative :). Outer space is the sea of chaos, shaped by the weakest force: gravity. Inner space (earths, mankind's, yours) is shaped by the vast complexity of self-organization of interacting forces in many dimensions and we're just about to understand the physical fundamentals.

There are two complementary approaches: Holism and Reductionism.
Holism declares everything is connected and the system as a whole determines how the parts behave. Or summed up by Aristotle: "The whole is more than the sum of its parts".
On the other hand there's the Reductionism which states there's a hierachy of order. And the behavior of any system can be derived from the behavior of its parts.
Without a doubt modern science can be called reductionistic - except when it comes to the very bottom of our understanding of the world: quantum mechanics. It seems all our physics is built upon stochastic processes and probability distribution.
But not only on that scale. Emergence is the headword. I can't look at the wings of a butterfly and not think of mathematic reaction-diffusion-systems and the interactive play of chemicals that painted the patterns in the last few days and at the same time at the sheer unbelievable episode of evolutionary design by the ability of mating butterfly couples to select the best candidate via their visual senses (which had to be developed beforehand, but i better stop here)(and butterflies also use pheromones for mating strategies).

I am looking for unexplored dimensions in imagination and virtuality and i love to build wormholes for other people's consciousness. You can say I pull outer space and inner space to their touching point in you. Maybe I'm totally wrong, but who cares :)

so, with the last videos i pulled you down to WHAT you are. But now let's get high and see WHERE you are: George Smoot: The design of the universe

i'm only on the first 3 minutes and already this guy is blowing my mind away. One thought tho - how can we, as finite beings, ever understand the infinite? *continues on the video*
:iconjanetino:
heh i like the part in the beginning where he says (in that hubble pic), you see more galaxies than stars, which is a corundrum itself :D yeh true! *continues on with the video*
:iconjanetino:
What's that fractal-like design on his tie? :giggle:
:iconjanetino:
the universe might be a sphere..time is the factor? *continues*
:icona-musing-discordian:
oh i guess you will love abstrusegoose.com

what's the problem with infinity? why the heck does all the world have problems with understanding? Of course you can totally work yourself up into it, but you can do that with an infinite amount of other things as well. ;)

and how can you say you were a finite being? Your only finite in this very moment. But over your lifetime you're in continuous(!) exchange of atoms with your environment.
Mortality is evolutionary inheritance. Without mortality we could not have developed to us humans that we are now.
:iconjanetino:
God used a formula? Hmmmm.... *now at 10 minutes*
:iconjanetino:
why can't light travel faster? all we're seeing/photographing is 'history'?
:icona-musing-discordian:
don't you worry, light is ridiculously fast. :relax:
