Magnified Universe: Cosmic Landscape in Quantum Décor

Magnified Universe: Cosmic Landscape in Quantum Décor

The theme accentuated

The underlying gist of the blog Magnified Universe: Cosmic Landscape in Quantum Décor is to envision the truest order of reality, or the uttermost flow of reality to be precise—simply because “flow” allows for continual change. Envisioning of the truest order of reality is the biggest of all questions! It is akin to piecing every single bit there is into a crisp comprehensible picture. That would be an insurmountable task. In a hilarious cartoon by S. Harris—in fact so many of his sketches are truly humorous, very popular among physicists and mathematicians, and often appear in Stephen Hawking’s popular science books—a scientist claims to have arrived at a unified theory simply by putting a box around a set of equations that described reality.

Dovetailing every piece into a whole amounts to subsuming every shred there is. From infinitesimal bits of atomic and subatomic particles, even strings (that string theory claims to be of Planck length, 10-35 meters, in size), to molecular and macromolecular structures to day-to-day objects to planets, and their satellites, to stars to solar systems to galaxies, and their clusters, to the entire of the universe (about the diameter of 93 billion light years), not to mention the parallel universes that we discern to be existing based on quantum mechanical understanding.

Oh yes, the indispensable of consciousness, awareness, and our subliminal paraphernalia as well!

Did I leave out anything? Caution me!

Accounting for all of these is a truly herculean task. We do need to shove all of it in a box, and wrap it up!

Then as I discussed in my last two posts, the perplexities that we pick up as we surf the landscape of scientific endeavors: On the beginning of time; emergence of consciousness; existence of multiverse; accelerating universe; recently, the dark matter; dark energy, and interconnectedly, the understanding of gravitational force; the dwell of antimatter. We have to account for all of this as well, meaning how they play out, or the reasoning behind their play. They are all real facts: They do need to either take role or resolve themselves out.

The unification implies just that: Seeing a harmonious picture in which all elements of reality take role, and discrepancies resolve. But even before we embark on such a journey, we need to imbue ourselves with two paramount characteristics of reality:

1] The universe is unified: Matter exists through fundamental forces such as gravity and electromagnetism.

2] The universe is uniform: Forces through which matter exists are uniform. Matter exists by same rules, anywhere.

After this assimilation, we can pretty much see that we as a scientist would want to see resolve any fact tossed at us into the above overarching picture of reality. Empirical observations, their disagreements, their quandaries, how we fit and continue, the mental bearings, and at a subtle level even the methodic concepts that we come to rely on, should all swimmingly be the part of the grand scheme.

If we leave scientific facts behind, the picture isn’t just fuzzy and disconcerting, it can be delusional. On the other hand, if we leave out the other elements of reality—the nature of self for instance—the scientific picture, wouldn’t be fully readable, and its perplexities wouldn’t resolve. Plainly because all the elements play in the construction of the full-length picture, again more precisely, flow. To see any kind of picture, scientific or otherwise, all pieces should be accounted for.

And those pieces are:

1] Cosmic observations

2] Quantum observations

3] The nature of self

I will continue with the theme of this blog in the next post, and also bring up the idea behind title itself—Magnified Universe: Cosmic Landscape in Quantum Décor.

Till then feel free to pitch in your views.

See you soon,

Proving it or Making Sense, Part II

Scientific Argumentation and Universal Logic in understanding the Universe

Part II

We were talking about how the alignment of “proving it” and “making sense” goes haywire with descriptions of deeper orders of reality, at times so much so that only the scientist in us happens to stomach them, and part of us still crave for an overarching clearer picture—causing an ever greater rift between the scientific endeavors and seeing the all-encompassing picture of reality, where we also reside. The reality is one, scientifically or otherwise. Science in no way takes us to a hazy confounding zone, but to see a true order we have to look at the scientific data with a broader, overarching perspective.

It’s just that with prodigious scientific advancements intricate details seep in, and “making sense” starts to fall outside the boundaries of scientific endeavor: because now it involves “us” seeing it differently. Like the tangled issue of the beginning of time that I brought up in the last post. No matter what rationality, the beginning of the universe via black hole, or the time having no beginning or end, as we are now learning, glaring quandaries nudge us for clarity—like what banged in the big-bang, or what’s the true nature of this timeless space-time.

As quirky as it gets, the beginning of time, whether through black hole or big bang (the linked article in the previous post argues for black hole as an alternative scenario of big bang), in the end could only be as mysterious as a colorblind entity chewing over the beauty of a rainbow. In seeing the reality, the time having a beginning seems a graver scenario than the case of an overarching continuum that flows eternally—simply because the earlier case incites further perplexities. The obvious one is how the time itself emerges out of nowhere. Some other blatant questions.

Arriving at the reality might take boxing of all the inputs and thinking outside the box. I would again have to pass on saying more on this here for the sake of space and post, and for the sake of you reading the book Physical Laws of the Mathematical Universe: Who Are We? instead.

In the earlier post I brought up the other mystifying subject that is infiltrating the bounds of scientific understanding—the emergence of consciousness in the continuum of space-time. An indispensible description, if we are to see a full meaning in the picture that has sprung from centuries of research and contemplation. Here again though we are struck with the oddity of joining a clear empirical deduction, from cosmological and quantum physics, to an order that appears to be abstractly—the nature of consciousness. We are puzzled over sewing part-science part I-don’t-know-what together.

I was looking forward to a recently held debate on the topic of Death contested between two teams of scientists, one arguing for the existence of life beyond death, and the other against. I happened not to watch the debate, but after finding out that the team against the idea won, I out of curiosity glanced bits of the video. You can watch it in Sean Carroll’s blog under the post Afterlife Aftermath. The neuroscientist who was trying to make his argument—upholding the existence of life beyond death—based on personal experience and neurological understanding belonged to the loser team [no pun intended]. The forlorn look of the neuroscientist was pitiful [not taking sides]. His struggle might have to do with our lack of scientific vocabulary to illustrate the subtleties of defining consciousness or our experiences, which could, in the end, provide a full picture of reality. The reality that science proves and we feel confounded about.

But in the end, in understanding the uttermost reality, the question of us or consciousness undeniably leads to the query of the truest nature of self. Read on Physical Laws of the Mathematical Universe: Who Are we?

Ultimately “making-sense” becomes foundational after certain threshold of “proving” is attained, for us to move forward, on scientific ground or otherwise. And basically it is “making sense,” at a common level, that not only authenticates but also translates the empirical doctrines.

All reasoning welcome,

Proving it or Making Sense, Part 1

Scientific Argumentation and Universal Logic in understanding the Universe

In the spirit of garnering enthusiasm for the just published book Physical Laws of the Mathematical Universe: Who Are We?, today we will try to sniff a little on what actually lies in the details of such an overarching theme of this title. I had written the following post a short while ago, but perhaps it just waited in the hard drive to be utilized today. The post is exceedingly fitting to our purpose today, which is to gain an overall sense of what this title truly imparts. And to meet that purpose, when relevant, I edit/extend the original post to accommodate the elements of this title. Here we go.

Proving it and making sense. Ideally, doing the first would inherently execute the other. Like Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Mass-energy conforms to the force of gravity. Sharp, brilliant, beautiful, fitting, and so much makes sense. Even though we do not directly see it, those who plunge to cogitate of it, visualize it perfectly well, and be thrilled with it—scientist, non-scientist, alike. But such is not the case with many other doctrines that stem to explain the reality of the universe. Even though these advanced theories are built upon rigorous foundations, and have stood firm against the test of decades of trials and verifications, when we sight at the universe directly face-to-face “making sense” part goes awry. “Making sense” falls apart from “proving it.”

The big topics that bring in the foundational details of the universe remain though clearly apparent on scientific footing, a little, sometimes a lot, obscure in reference to the way universe appears to us. Some such subjects are the beat of antimatter, the prodigious expansion of universe, the undulations of quantum world, and the deployment of symmetry in all aspects of nature. In the Physical Laws of the Mathematical Universe: Who Are We? we will acknowledge that many of the discrepancies between cosmic and quantum planes simply lurk because of our resistance in seeing an all-encompassing picture, a flow that subsumes all the elements of reality. Cosmic and quantum aren’t two different planes, just two ways of seeing the very same reality. They are in a perfect overlap, just that quantum covers more details—in fact all the details.

For now, let’s soak in a little in the two currently trending eerie topics—for which scientists and philosophers don’t like to mix.

One is the beginning of the universe: See how the experimental findings are formulated to expose a scheme at The black hole at the beginning of the universe, in which the universe crystallized from a black hole, and where the 3-dimensionality that we encounter is a holographic illusion, projected from a hidden 4-dimensional plane. Bizarre, but no way sham. This is in fact the most accurate description that we get from mathematically weaving the empirical observations into a single portraiture. Now it is becoming so advanced that “making sense,” in reference to the universe we are aware of, is getting out of hand. And I indeed am tempted to expand more on this, but we have to keep to the post size.

Most purchase generic levitra importantly, make sure you end up with an excellent pill that is a solution to the problems of Ed and it is tested and verified by the health organizations around the world, plus is at times prescribed by those physicians. For a start though, what we sense directly, like planets, stars, the entire of cosmic plane, stems from what we can sense—we have a limited perceptibility, for example, we directly sense only the small window of the full electromagnetic spectrum—the visible 400 – 700 nanometers. There are hidden aspects that our sensory receptors simply do not allow to perceive. A few well founded examples are particle and wave being the two aspects of the very same thing, mass coexisting with energy, movement and time, and the universe is unified. They are all genuine aspects of reality, deeper and detailer than what we directly sense.

The other side of the story, but along the same line is what we perceive of ourselves as? That might be a little skewed too. Both sides of the story are equally important, in order to decipher the truest texture, or to reconcile “proving it” and “making sense.” Indeed, I can already sense so many questions popped up in your mind, but if I begin to discuss all here, I would need 346 pages, and the book Physical Laws of the Mathematical Universe: Who Are We? will become redundant. Please feed your curiosity, and let your enthusiasm take you in a panorama where “proving it” and “making sense” become two sides of the very same coin.

The other mystifying subject that is infiltrating the bounds of scientific understanding is the reasoning of “consciousness,” or the emergence of consciousness in the continuum of space-time. But before I wear you out, I will stop here, and continue with this eerie topic in the following post.

See you all soon,

On the TEDx talk

Now a little on the TEDxSLU talk. Indeed, the descriptions of cosmology and quantum mechanics, and how we fit and continue there was the overarching theme, but covered in a light tone to meet the TED style. Enclosed is the first slide. Interestingly, from the responses I got from the smart audience, I felt that the purity and elegance of mathematics is seemingly a bigger catch in seeing the truest reality, than the relatively jumbled descriptions of physics. Can you believe it? I surely can!

Both are indeed crucial though.

TEDxSLU_Slide1Further on toward understanding how we fit and continue by the descriptions of cosmology and quantum mechanics, in relation to the title Physical Laws of the Mathematical Universe: Who Are we? I will try to dish out related ideas in small chunks at the facebook page that I have just created (the publisher recommended!). Please stop by, and let me know your thoughts.

The awe inspiring topic of Our Magnified Universe– “Wondrous Universe: Our Truth in the Window of Science” was covered in TEDxSLU (of St. Louis University), along with other inspirational and delightful speeches and performances. We all steeped ourselves in enthusiasm and thrill as we navigated through the day bustling with activities, and ideas. A lot of credit goes to the organizers, mostly from St Louis University, for charting out such a well planned event. Take a peek at their initiative and the TEDxSLU event. Subjects as diverse as leadership, genetics, human relations, and pure scientific voices made up the fabric of the program. Interspersed were vibrating shows like salsa dance.

Coming to the subject of this blog, my talk overall gave a broad perspective of the book title Physical Laws of the Mathematical Universe: Who Are we? i. e., How can we come up with a scheme where all scientific descriptions, cosmic or quantum, make sense, and we see ourselves to be a part of the grand continuum. Following this initiation, was the introduction of the fascinating mathematics—how mathematics acts as a glue in seeing a truly real picture. I will try to post more on this event shortly.

See you soon,
