I just went through this notebook I had with me on my trips. Mostly high doses of weed, and LSD.. want to know if anyone else has something similar to share I remember this one time I was looking at the sky, the sun was about 3/4 down into the world-- still had some time to go. It made me think: what if the stars were tiny molecules of a higher life, our earth is also one of these molecules. The sun and atmosphere, acted like some type of magnification glass that made the other stars seem smaller, which is why everything is far away from each other, but really life is as big as us. Clearly there's a lot of holes in the idea, but it made so much sense at the time. Does anyone else have some weird shit like this?
Rather than imagining a star being a molecule, structurally that makes no sense nor does the distance, but rather, ponder this. Have you ever wondered why solar systems are structurally similar to atoms? And solar systems group together like atoms into galaxies like molecules, and galaxies cluster together, etc. And why is it that if galaxies and solar systems follow the laws of relativity, but atoms follow quantum theory and with all our advanced knowledge, we still can't figure out how to mate special and general relativity with quantum theory into a unified field?
^^Quantum theory is a relatively new science, that I think will still have many breakthroughs that we have yet to discover. Liked your idea
Is consciousness more like a field that is drawn together in density by human neural biology in the same way that a radio antenna draws in radio waves, rather than a byproduct of biological brain function directly? Is this field simply at a 0 state in empty space or in a rock? Would a rock have a higher consciousness field energy than empty space? Would empty space perhaps have a non-zero consciousness density to it? Is all space basally conscious?
Often I am becoming more and more certain that our consciousness plays are far bigger role in the make-up and functioning of the universe than we give it credit. As more advances are being made in the areas of physics, our part in it is becoming more and more clear. But at what point does our consciousness or thought effect that which we observe and experience? That is my latest conundrum. As always, the more we learn, the less we know.
This won't help your conundrum, only make it worse if you're not familiar with the uncertainty principle and experiments like these... http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1998/02/980227055013.htm The mere act of observation alters reality. Sorry if that scrambles your brain. It does mine.
im tripping in public it get thoughts like this: "-Am i talking out loud right now? Can you hear me? Are these thoughts? Hey lady can you hear me? -Yes... -How did you hear me ? Are you a mind reader?" And then i run away.
Yeah, I was going to mention Schrodinger's cat and the Hiesenburg uncertainty principle, if that is what you are talking about.
One of the things I love to think about is the fact that matter and energy are always changing; when matter increases energy decreases and vice versa, but the sum of the equation is always the same. All matter is energy moving at a slow vibration. Reg Hartt, an underground celebrity in Toronto who owns an independent cinema, once said that INRI, which stands for Iesus Nazaretus Rex Iedaeus (Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews) can also stand for Inis Naturalis Regeneratis Inis (the light made flesh reborn as light) and that that was the message Jesus was trying to preach. Interesting theory. Much of my thought is influenced by Spinoza, generally the idea that everything - including nature, time, space, matter, energy and even existence - is a finite modification of an infinite substance. Nothing and infinity refer to the same concept and true free will can only exist in the realm of nothing/infinity. Death is merely the termination of the conscious ego and the acceptance of nothing, and when we die the particles that make up our physical bodies are slowly converted to energy by means of decomposition. It's pretty unfocused but it makes sense in my mind.
I've had that same idea since I was 14 or 15 because Astronomy* and Quantum Mechanics had always interested me. Ever since I saw the end of Men in Black my mind opened and I started to think differently...same with the movie "What the Bleep, do we know?"...I cant explain it because there, like you said, are to many holes but yea-know you aren't alone. :hippy: -Peace-
Ya, I like thought experiments like Schrodingers cat... I reread my post and I thought it came across kind of uppity... didn't mean to. You're a pretty bright cat Nox. :2thumbsup: Glad ya liked it That sort of stuff is really interesting to me.
Yea in general when I think of outer space it inevitably brings me to the similarities in 'inner space' on the atomic and quantum level. Perhaps the universe is really just a extremely tiny part of some larger body. Like the entire universe itself is a tiny cell or atom. This is why I think outer space exploration is vital. It could very well lead to higher understanding of the actual nature of reality. Fascinating subject. To 5dimdeep: It doesn't scramble my brain. It just makes me think that everything is one. A feeling I'd had long before I saw it in words.
Haha! Well this is another curve ball, I can't remember where I first saw it - might have been elsewhere on Hip but it's still rather interesting. Who knows what else could be different - if it actually is. http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn19429-laws-of-physics-may-change-across-the-universe.html Also - who the fuck names a kickass telescope the "Very Large Telescope".. imaginative drabs....
